I wanted to write a Fiolee interaction from a different character's POV, so enjoy!
Disclaimer: I wish.
She sighs and shifts restlessly, blowing her hair from her eyes. Unknown to her, mine are trained on her every movement. Why she would bother to wait even after all this time is beyond my reach, but after all, this is Fionna. The girl who would go to the ends of Aaa to help a grain of sand if it needed her help. It was no mystery as to why she entranced me. Her eyes sparkle like the ocean she fears so, with hair like spun gold.
Unfortunately for me, a voice calls out to her and I know I must hurry if I want to speak to her before her gets here. As quickly as I can, I cross the crowded plaza, filled with candy citizens all seemingly determined to prevent me from teaching Fionna. I push past Cinnamon Buns and gasp out "Fionna!" As I hoped, she turns to me and smiles brightly.
"Hey, PG! What's up?" She half waves at me while she talks, her voice bright. I smile in relief, glad for these few seconds to talk. "Hello, Fionna. May I endeavour to ask what brings you to the Candy Kingdom?" She laughs, reminding me of tinkling bells. "Oh, you know." She offers. "Waiting." Her voice trails off at the end and her smile falls. I shuffle uncomfortably at this sudden silence while she looks at the ground.
Without warning, an arm slings around Fionna's shoulder. The effect was a complete mood swing for Fionna. In an instant, she lifts her head and smiles wider than I thought possible. "Marshall!" It's caught halfway somewhere between a squeal and a laugh. Marshall chuckles. I sigh slightly, hoping to regain Fionna's attention. When this fails, I stuff my hands in my pockets and stare at the ground.
My voice is below a whisper, echoing Fionna with much different tone. "Marshall." The vampire shifts his umbrella so that Fionna is mostly in the shade as well. When he think I'm not watching, he presses a kiss to her temple. I am overwhelmed by several feelings at once.
Jealousy. A beautiful girl like Fionna, out of my grasp.
Self-loathing. I will never be as good as he is, especially in her eyes.
Embarrassment. Am I really so terrible that Fionna felt a need to hide her relationship from me?
This... Infatuation with her needs to stop. I can be happy for them... I glance up at Marshall and Fionna. She smiles happily up at him, while he beams back. The two are so evidently in love. Looking at the pair, I can tell that my smile is not the same as Marshall's. I will never love her the way he does.
Fionna may be my light right now, but this will pass. Someday I will find a girl who is my sun. Until then, it's best to try not steal someone else's sunshine.
I turn away from my companions and call a hasty good-bye. I retreat into my castle, thankful for the darkness it offers.
