Till Death
This will probably be a one shot. But, if I get enough comments, I will do a full story. Hope you enjoy.
I do not own any of these characters. Got it?
"Hey again Gumgum," Marshall lee sat on the bench in front of the grave, "I know this is the second time today but I needed to see you." Gumball passed away years ago but Marshall still feels like it was yesterday. Waking up alone in their bed still crushes him he stays there for an hour crying.
"I was just thinking of our marriage. You remember how they said till death do we part. Well, here is the death but I still can't part from you," He stood and walked over to the tomb. Falling to his knees tears begin to form in his eyes. "We both knew you would die first but this is still too hard. I don't think I am gonna make it. You told me to keep going and just move on with my life but I can't."
He started to trace the words engraved; Here lies the great King Bonnibeau Gumball. A gracious ruler and loving Husband. He will be greatly missed by all whom he met. The Candy kingdom will always remember the greatest king to ever rule.
"I'm sorry Gumgum. I can't keep up with our kingdom. I know it is my responsibility now that you are gone but I can't. You were always better at this stuff." He dropped his hands into his lap. The tears were coming at full force now. "I remember the first time I saw you. It was months before I even showed my presence in Aaa. You were 5 back then. I helped you make friends back then. Helped you learn to live." He began to scoot around to lie down on the grass next to the grass.
"You cried so hard when I left. I didn't know you would wait for me to return. I told you I wouldn't. I didn't intend to." He started to close his eyes. "I missed you back then. I was gone for five years. You should have found someone else. I pushed you away, yelled at you, I even hit you once. You never left me. You should have."
The sun began to rise behind the trees. "I'm sorry Gumgum. I already appointed a new ruler. I'm pretty sure he will do fine. He has been helping me ever since you died. I can't go on." The sun started at his bare feet burning his skin slowly as it rose. Marshall didn't even flinch as the pain began to rise throughout him. "I'm coming to see you now Gumgum. Please don't be angry with my decision. I love you. I always will." It lasted only a couple of minutes. Marshall smiled as he died then. Next to Gumball's grave. His tears were the only things that didn't burn away.
I'm sorry if you don't like how it ends with him dying like that but too bad for you. If I do make a series out of this it will start when they meet and go on till Gumball dies. Maybe even a little glimpse at the months Marshall lived after words. Please review. Thanks for reading.
