A/N: This was supposed to be part of my other story of called White Roses on my other account,finnickfan01, but I didn't know where to put it in order to fit the story, so I made it a fluffy one shot.
Hope you enjoy. Oh, if you didn't read White Roses, I would recommend it. You don't have to read that first to understand it, this is just what it is.

"Prince Gumball, pass it over here." A candy girl asked him.
"Okay." He replied throwing the ball to her. He wished they would just call him Gumball.
It was about midday, Gumball and a few other candy children were playing a game of catch in a large field. Honestly, he was bored out of his mind, but his mother said he needed to 'interact' with people his own age. He thought he did, but the realized his only friend was really Marshall Lee, a vampire he had met, but even then Marshall was technically older than him.
When Gumball first met Marshall, he was a bit afraid of the vampire. Over time though, he learned Marshall was afraid of them, not him in particular, but the candy citizens. He noticed whenever they were in public Marshall would hide behind him or try to make himself less noticeable. He wished the citizens could see Marshall was just like everyone else.
Even though Gumball was only ten years old, he managed to develop a crush on the vampire. He thought he cool and cute. He played the bass and lived alone. Marshall was the first one to treat him like, well a person. He never got any special treatment; he always called him Gumball and made him laugh whenever he was upset. Marshall made him happy and feel thing he didn't normally feel.
"Hey Gumball!" Someone shouted.
When he turned around he saw Marshall flying towards him, of course with a umbrella in hand.
"Hi Ma-OW!" He didn't notice it was his turn to catch the ball.
"Look what you did you stupid vampire, you made him miss it and get hurt!" A candy boy began as Marshall made his way down to land near Gumball.
"And it's Prince Gumball to you, freak, now get away from him before you hurt him even more." A candy girl finished.
"It's okay, Marshall is my friend." Gumball tried to explain.
"How can you be friends with someone like him?" The boy asked.
"He's ugly, disgusting and different. You are a prince and he's vampire." The girl said.
"Besides were your friends." The boy stated as if it was true.
"Any friends of mine would not treat him this way. He is just like us, he just wants a friend, now leave before I summon the banana guards." Gumball threatened.
"Fine." They both said while walking away.
Once they were gone Gumball let out a deep breathe.
"Sorry Marshall, they were just being butts. When he turned around, Marshall was looking at the ground but not responding. Gumball walked towards him and tried again.
"Marshall, please talk to me." He pleaded. All he got was a sniffle as a reply. So, he put both his hands on Marshall's face, which made him look at Gumball. Gumball felt that his hands were wet and Marshall was crying.
"I'm sorry." Marshall whispered.
"For what?" Gumball asked.
"Being everything they said."
"You aren't. They were just jerks that don't know who you are." Gumball told him and pulled him into a hug. He felt him squirm, trying to get of the embrace, this only made Gumball hug him tighter. He had to calm him down, he thought of what his mom did in situation like this, but he knew he would regret it later, he sang a song.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I lo-like you. Please don't take my sunshine away." He finished and saw Marshall had gone stiff.
"G-Gumball."
"Yes?"
Marshall looked up at him and Gumball saw he had stopped crying.
"C-can you sing again?" He asked and practically snuggled into Gumball.
Gumball only smiled and began his song again.
