Thank you for all the reviews! :'D
I didn't expect that many so you all made me very happy.
Here's chapter two. There is some mild language, but I didn't up the ratings. I might in the later chapters, just letting you know. Enjoy~
"Finn!" Marceline pressed her cold hands into Finn's chest forcefully. Finn looked surprised and let go of his grip. She lost her balance and stumbled off the rock.
"Are you okay?" Finn shot up to lend her a hand.
"I'm fine…" She denied his offer of help and stood facing away from him, arms crossed over her chest.
"Something wrong?" He asked.
"Why'd you just do that?" She was blushing immensely, but kept her face turned so he wouldn't see.
"You mean… k-kiss you?" He stuttered, his face turning the same pigment as hers.
"No why'd you let out a mob of brain eating pretzels throughout Ooo? Of course why'd you kiss me?" She huffed, and rolled her eyes.
"Is there a rule that says I can't? And besides, you've kissed me a bunch of times before!"
"But not on the lips!" She retorted, yelling.
"Does it matter where? I was trying to comfort you!"
"Comfort me? How the Hell was that supposed to comfort me?"
"Why are you getting so mad? But… I don't know… I just wanted to show you I care. I really care about you!" I l-l-loo-" Finn's mouth wasn't working with him as his last words were slurred. He shut his eyes tight and hollered, "I love you!"
Marceline's eyes enlarged and her mouth agape. She didn't respond and Finn realized she wasn't going to so he continued.
"I've liked you for years now! Can't you tell? I'm over Princess Bubblegum! I've been over her!" Finn was getting more restless with every word that he spoke. "My hearts drawn to you, do you feel the same?" He used his arms widely as he pointed to her.
She spoke softly and hushed, "I do like you…but…. ugh I don't know!" She brought her palms against her faced and nodded to herself. "It wouldn't work okay?"
"Why wouldn't it work?" His face was red from a mixture of anger and embarrassment. He clenched his fists. He took a few steps closer to her.
"Because Finn! Think about it! A vampire and a human together? It can't happen. Believe me, it's imposs-" Before she could finish her sentence, he grabbed her wrist and swung her around. They were face-to-face, making eye contact.
"I told you not to say that word! I want to be with you! Why the glob don't you wanna be with me?" He at her.
"I said why! Let go of me!" She thrashed around until she was free of his grasp. She took a few steps backwards and grabbed her bass, while cussing under her breath. She scowled and looked away, "I'm leaving." She flew into the sky and vanished in its gloom.
"Wait Marceline!" He extended his hand to the sky but it was pointless, she was already gone.
"Dammit…" He muttered lowly and gnashed his teeth together; the unsettling noise of them gritting each other stung his ears. He fell back onto the soft grass and pulled his legs up to his chest. He ran his fingers through his golden hair, starting from the back of his head until he reached his forehead. He clawed his nails into his flesh violently until it reached the point of pain. He sighed, and stopped letting his palms drop to the grass, pulling a few strands out of the earth and allowing it to fly in the wind. He looked up, hoping she might have returned. Unfortunately, she hadn't and he groaned hiding his face in his knees. "I blew it."
About an hour later, Finn returned home. His adoptive brother Jake was in the kitchen boiling water. He heard the door slam and cocked his head around.
"Hey man, wanna try this new tea Lady gave me? It's delicious! Might be even better than ice cream…. sweet creamy mountains of ice cream." Jakes eyes sparkled as he fantasized about lands covered with the cold confectionary treat. Finn ignored him and proceeded to his room.
"Heeheheehh… ahh.. hey where ya going? That a no to tea?"
Finn stopped and glared at him coldly, "Bed and no."
"No? So no to tea... Or no to not having tea which would be yes... W-wait-wait-wait-wait so I said no and you said no…" Jake rambled on in his own confusion. Finn rolled his eyes at the dog and climbed up the ladder and fell onto his bed. "…..so in the end, it's a yes…right?" Jake blinked. "Dude? Where'd you go?"
He stretched his body up to their bedroom and hovered over Finn. Finn was lying on his bed face front with his face buried into the pillow.
"You okay bro? You went to see Marceline right? Did something happen?" He inquired, looking down at his depressed friend.
"No... Nothing happened. Now go away." Finn mumbled out of the pillow.
"Woaaah…. cool it dude… It's my room too you know? But since you seem upset and don't want to talk I'll leave. But you gotta let me know tomorrow alright?" He morphed his furry paw into Finn. "Yes Jake, of course I'll tell you. But only because you're the best big brother in the whole world." He turned and walked out of the room.
Finn changed into a pair of flannel shorts and a t-shirt. He relaxed on his bed with his arms folded behind his head. He started at the ceiling, which was completely black with an occasional flicker of light from Jake downstairs. He replayed what happened in his mind continuously.
He grunted and whispered angrily to himself, "What were you thinking dummy? She'd fall in love with you and you'd whisk her away in your arms to live happily ever after? This is reality." He nodded to himself in disbelief of his own stupidity. "It was going so well… and what about our friendship? It's still there? Right?" He grumbled, "I'm too tired to think... maybe Jake can help me make this right." He turned to his side and let a heavy sleep take his worries away.
Again readers, I thank you for getting this far.
So Finn's… REJECTED! –plays dramatic music-
We'll see how Marcie's doing and Finn explains what happened to Jake.
Don't worry! I won't leave Finny-bear all alone.. I promise it will eventually get romantic.
Until the next chapter, bye-bye!
