Fionna PoV.
Cake and I made it back home safely back to the tree house from Candy Kingdom without running into any trouble, but we were soaking wet from the down pour outside. I opened the door into our tree house, dripping wet and trailing water as we walked inside. Cake's fur was sagging to the floor, heavy with water, making a wet trail behind her tail, she quickly stretched out twice her normal size and shook the water off, splattering BMO and I, though I couldn't get any wetter. I slung my backpack onto the ground, and climbed up to our room, "Cake I'm going to take a shower." I called down, "Didn't you already have one?" Cake joked; I managed a smile and continued to ascend to the room.
I sat in the tub, my knees hugged to my chest as the shower water pattered down on me almost as hard as the rain outside, my long blonde hair cascaded down my back and onto the floor of the tub, now completely drenched. I thought about what Gumball had said to me, "You know we're friends, and that's all we'll ever be!" I sighed in frustration and buried my head into my legs and cried bitterly, my tears mixing in with the pouring shower water, until I couldn't tell if I was crying or not, "That's all we'll ever be…?" I thought, I sighed and got up to turn off the shower.
As soon as I got out of the shower and dried my hair, I crawled onto my bed curled up in a blanket with my knees tucked to my chest, "Hey, Fi, I'm going to make some Hot Chocolate, you want some? It'll make you feel better." I smiled at her and nodded, as she descended the latter, and came back with a mug in her paws and handed it to me, "Thanks Cake." I said, "You're welcome, baby." She replied with a smile, she turned for the stairs, "I'll be down stairs if you need me." she said looking back, "Okay." I said, and with that, Cake left the room. I gripped the blanket tightly around me and sighed looking down at the steaming cup of brown liquid, it splashed a little as a tear fell into it, I sniffed and wiped my eyes, I set the mug on my nightstand. I felt completely humiliated and stupid, "Gumball, you butt…" I mumbled as I buried my head into my arms, and at the same time, I felt a small tape on my shoulder, I looked up and turned around assuming it was Cake, but soon realized it was Marshall Lee, making his "hissing" face, with teeth bared, eyes red bulging and tongue flailing about like a snake, making a hissing noise so menacing that it would put Cake to shame, I quickly responded by kicking him in the face, busting his lip as it oozed blood, "Idiot. You know that doesn't scare me anymore." I said, completely un-amused, which I was. He wiped the blood off his mouth with the back of his hand, tears welling up in his eyes from the pain, "Jeez Fionna, you didn't have to hit me so damn hard!" he whimpered, I rolled my eyes, "What do you want Marshall." I sighed; he wiped the rest of the blood from his mouth and sat next to me on the bed, "Hey…I know what happened with Gumball…" I stiffened, "What? How do you know about that? Are stalking me or something?" his face became scarlet red against his pale blue skin, which I thought was weird since I didn't know vampires could blush, "What? No! Lumpy Space Prince told me what happened!" he replied. I thought for a moment and imagined LSP gossiping about it; Like, oh my Glob Marshall! Gumball just like, totally turned Fionna down when she, like totally asked him OUT! Like, what the Lump? I raised my eyebrows, "Yeah, that sounds like something he'd do…" I said out loud, I looked at Marshall's concerned face curiously, I've never seen that expression before… I thought. But as I looked closely at him, he actually looked…different somehow; his shaggy raven hair was dripping wet and as messy as ever with his long bangs sticking to the left side of his face, his crimson red eyes had a rich, soft feeling to them, he was wearing a long sleeved v neck shirt (which was also soaking wet) with black and red stripes, torn skinny jeans, and black convers. I knew there couldn't be something different about him; he was a 1000 year old vampire stuck in the body of an 18-year-old boy, a very cute one no less, which I'd hate to admit. But he was immortal, nothing about him can change…but what is so different about him? I realized I was staring at him for too long when Marshall got me out of my trance, "Um…Fi? Helloooo…anyone there?" he asked, waving his hand in front of my face, I snapped back to reality and shook my present thoughts out of my head, "S-sorry…just lost in thought." I mumbled, he raised an eyebrow and gave a short laugh, "Clearly." He said crossing his arms, I sighed again and decided to switch the subject, "so what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked.
Marshall PoV.
"What happened with Gum-butt?" I asked, she looked away ashamed her face red, my eyes widened, "Oh my Glob, is he gay?" I asked hopefully, she nearly jumped off the bed, "NO! He is not gay! Where the heck did you get that idea from?" "Never mind…" I replied disappointedly with a faint blush on my face, she crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks like she did whenever she gets annoyed, I sighed and scooted closer, "So what did happen?" I asked, she looked down at the ground, "I thought you knew what happened?" I rubbed the back of my head nervously, "You know LSP and how he talks; I could only understand bits and pieces between the 'likes' and the 'totally-s' and the 'Oh my Glob, what the Lump' crap... So…he turned you down?" I asked, she nodded, "Yeah…I asked him out, and, well…he just said he wasn't interested." She replied, I knew she wasn't telling me the whole story, I could see in her eyes she was completely humiliated, but I didn't want to push her, I fell backwards on the bed and tucked my arms behind my head, "Well. I think Gum-for-Brains is an idiot for not saying yes." I said smiling, Fionna tilted her head to the side, "What do you mean…?" I sat up and scoffed, "Well in my opinion; I think you're pretty nice, and you also have a kick-ass attitude. You're worthy of admiration, and it's great go on adventures with you, your reckless curiosity makes you cute…and well…" she smiled at me, a faint blush dusted across her face, her kind blue eyes looking at me gratefully, I cleared my throat and looked away, "Fionna…I…over all…" I blushed slightly, "Over all you're a pretty radical babe to be around." I said at last, scratching the back of my head. She scooted closer to me, pulling the red blanket around her tightly, I looked into her blue eyes as she looked into my red ones, she leaned forward and hugged me tightly, burying her face into my damp shirt, my face felt hot, "Thanks Marsh." She said, I finally melted and wrapped my arms around her, one hand digging through her hair and the other on her back; she gripped my shirt and started to cry again, I rested my chin on the top of her head, feeling that same tearing feeling in my chest. It hurt to see her like this…
After a while, she stopped crying and I pulled away from the embrace, I looked away blushing like hell, "Well…I better get going. The rain stopped and you should get some rest…" I floated off the bed and towards the window, "Wait a minute!" she said, I turned around and smiled at her, "Later Fi." I said, she blushed, and with that; I flew out the window, towards my cave, leaving Fionna alone in her room.
