Hey guys, I've been browsing FF for years, but have never had the motivation to write a story until now. Since it's my first story, I expect somethings to be off and I'd like any and all feedback.

The Amazing World of Gumball belongs to and was created by Ben Bocquelet. I do not own it.

VVVV

"I'm melting!"

Sweat rolled down the 15-year-old, blue catboy's forehead as he complained about the record-breaking heatwave that had rolled in over the weekend. A troublesome week at school had preceeded, including a mishap involving a banana skin, and Gumball Watterson had been looking forward to that weekend.

But all plans were put on hold as it was too hot to do much of anything. The street outside boiled anything placed upon it. The plants that Nicole, Gumball's mother, kept in her garden seemed to be in a state of perpetual wilting. Even the AC didn't seem to help, Gumball questioning how anything could survive in this heat.

He wiped his forehead with his long, blue tail and hopped off the couch, hoping to find some water bottles left in the fridge. Being in a family of five, most beverages would be gone within a week. The heat wave didn't make the situation any better.

As Gumball opened the fridge, he flattened his ears in annoyance, as there weren't any water bottles. Not even a can of Buff, his favorite soda. He groaned in resignation and decided to head up to his room in the hopes that he could take his mind of the heat with some games.

The cool air leaking out from around the door is what shocked Gumball the most. He had been so wrapped up in complaining that he'd forgotten that he could hole himself up in his room with his AC. He mentally facepalmed himself as he opened the door and stepped through.

He found that he'd been beaten to the game console by his brother, Darwin. Darwin and Gumball made quite the odd pairing, as Darwin had fish attributes, like gills and fins, to go along with his orange hair and eyes, compared to Gumball's cat-like attributes. It was also well known that Darwin was adopted, but he and Gumball got along so well, they might as well have been biological brothers.

Darwin was playing Fontra at that time, and turned around when he heard the door open. He smiled when he saw that it was Gumball. Gumball returned the smile, walking over to sit down next to the fishboy.

"I figured you'd be up here," noted Gumball.

"Of course, you know I prefer being cold rather than hot," Darwin giggled. Gumball loved seeing Darwin happy and laughing. He always blushed whenever he thought about how happy they made each other. This happened to be one of those moments, and Darwin noticed.

"Dude, you're blushing again."

"Huh? No I'm not! I'm just warm that's all!" Gumball lied, very aware that the room wasn't warm at all. He wasn't very good at lying, and, along with his pride, often got not only himself, but Darwin as well, in trouble plenty of times.

Darwin rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, you were, Gumball Tristopher Watterson," using Gumball's full name, teasing the cat. Darwin's eyes then went wide, and he leaned closer to Gumball

"Who is she?" he whispered in Gumball's ear. Gumball almost melted as he felt Darwin's breath brush past his ear. He blushed even harder than before and could barely answer.

"Wh-what do you mean?" Gumball asked, quite clearly flustered. Darwin giggled at Gumball's reaction.

"Whadda do you mean, 'whadda do you mean?'. You have a crush on someone," Darwin proclaimed.

"M-Maybe I do, maybe I don't." Even with the AC on, Gumball's face may have well as been the surface of the Sun. He was always easily embarrassed and Darwin loved to tease him about it.

Darwin pouted. "Will you at least give me a hint?" Gumball sighed. He could never say no to Darwin when he was pouting. "Ok, fine. It's the person you'd least expect," Gumball confidently replied.

Darwin gave the hint some thought before calling out a group of names that included Tina Rex, a bully who had T-Rex attributes; Rachel, their friend Tobias' sister; and Teri, a girl with bear attributes. Gumball denied every girl Darwin could think of.

"Give up?" Gumball asked, smirking.

"Hmm, I guess you really don't have a crush," conceded Darwin with a frown. "I'm sorry, man."

Gumball laughed and smiled at him. "It's alright, dude." He handed a controller to Darwin, who eagerly accepted it.

Gumball turned to the side and uttered under his breath, "I knew you'd never expect yourself..."

"Huh, what did you say?" asked Darwin. Gumball jumped slightly at his words.

"Oh, n-nothing," replied Gumball, nervously chuckling. Darwin raised his eyebrow at this, but brushed it off after Gumball started up another game of Fontra.

The boys played until sundown. Their room had gotten arctic cold in the meantime, while it had cooled down enough to open the windows and turn off the AC's. Darwin kept having to calm Gumball down after each death, such as the way Fontra always went. They'd already lost a few controllers due to Gumball's temper.

They put down their controllers and started calming down for the night, Darwin heading off to take a shower and Gumball cleaning up the room. Darwin turned on the the water and started undressing, taking a look at himself in the mirror. He wasn't ripped, but he wasn't chubby or overweight. He had only just started working out a few weeks ago in an attempt to impress Gumball, but he hadn't noticed Gumball pay any attention to him at the beach or in gym. The shower itself was fairly uneventful, and Darwin took his time, enjoying the warm water.

On his way back to the room, he kept hearing something. It sounded like it was coming from their room.

"What the...? What's that noise?" he questioned. He quietly made his way over to their door. The closer he got, the more the noises resembled moans. Gumball's moans. Not of pain, or sadness. But of pleasure. And then he heard Gumball say his name...

"Did... Did he just moan my name?

He slowly poked his head around the corner. And, on the bottom bunk of their bed, he saw something that he never thought he'd ever see.

Gumball Watterson... was jerking off. And he was jerking off to Darwin.
