Finn walked to Marceline's cave with a bouquet of roses in his hand. He was nineteen now, and it had been two years since he developed a crush on her that had now evolved into love. Today, alas, was the day he would confess his feelings towards her.
He knocked on the door a few times, only to receive no answer. Finn looked in a window to see all the lights were off, and that her zombie poodle was sleeping on the rock-hard couch.
She must be out, Finn thought. Marceline normally left notes on her door if she was not home on jam session days, but today wasn't one. Finn suggested going to the Candy Kingdom to see if she was there.
After Peppermint Butler told Finn Marceline was in PB's room with the princess, Finn walked slowly up the stairs, preparing himself to confess. Reaching the door, he knocked a couple times only to have invalid responses.
"Hello?" Finn said, cracking the door open. He opened all the way and gasped.
There was Marceline and Bubblegum, sitting on the bed kissing passionately. Marceline opened one eye and gasped, breaking the kiss. PB looked at where she was looking and her eyes widened to see Finn, her cheeks going red.
"Finn!" PB gasped.
"It's not what you think!" Marceline exclaimed. "We were uh…"
"Experimenting!" Princess Bubblegum piped up, chuckling nervously.
"Y-Y-Y-You…you and her are…" Finn stammered.
Marceline stood up, nearing Finn. "Finn…look. A long time ago Bonnie and I were an item, but we broke up. Then we decided to hook up again and-"
The bouquet of roses fell to the floor as Finn fled from the scene, tears streaming down his cheeks. He just couldn't believe it. He had his heart shattered to pieces by his best friend…Marceline.
Why didn't she tell him before? Before he liked her? How could she do this to him?! How could they both betray him like this?!
Finn ran to the tree fort, jumped in his bed, and sobbed, crying himself to sleep.
A week later, Marceline nor PB had seen Finn since that day. They were still dating, but that past event made their relationship a little strained. They're kisses were getting less passionate and meaningful. And they were seeing each other less.
Marceline still couldn't get over what happened and what Finn had meant to give her. Every night now, she'd go to bed, feeling guilty after reading the note Finn had left on the roses.
To my favorite hard rocking vamp,
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I got you this gift
Because I love you.
You're a radical dame
Who likes to play games.
Will you have me as your new boyfriend?
I'm not so lame.
I'd travel all of Ooo
Just for you.
If you love me back.
I promise I'll stop wearing my hat.
I know I'm just a human mortal
That barely knows everything about his kind
But I'll do anything to prove my love
If you let me try
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I'll even sacrifice my own life
Because I think I'm in love with you.
By now, Marceline couldn't take it. Every time she read that poem, she looked back at all the good times she had with Finn. And each memory made her feel more affection for the human.
And it was now that the queen realized, she was in love with Finn.
And she had to break it up with the princess.
Before Marceline could even go to the door, there was a knock. Marceline opened the door to see PB. "B-Bonnibel? What are you-"
"Marceline. I think we have to break up." PB cut her off.
"Break up?" Marceline said. "Yes. We can't keep Finn feel so much dread like this. It's unhealthy. He loves you, Marcie. I think it's best if we just stay friends."
Marceline gave a small smile. "I'd like that too,"
As they hugged, Jake came running in screaming, "Girls! Have either of you seen Finn?!"
"No," Bubblegum replied. "Oh, man!" Jake cried in despair. "What's the matter?" questioned Marceline.
Jake sighed sadly, and glanced up at them, "I…I think Finn ran away…"
Sorry for leaving you with a cliffhanger, but you know, holidays. This was originally gonna be a one-shot but meh. I'll try to make it a two-shot.
PS: I suck at poems. L
