Author's note: Hello all, here is the second chapter. Planned to post it next Monday but I think uploading twice a week is much better than once a week. Nothing much to say for now. Just, go on ahead and enjoy the ride~.
Again, I thank my friend, Kara Shadows for beta reading this.

Chapter 2: Thoughts.
It's been a few weeks since their fling. Finn and Marceline had been meeting up occasionally, like the usual. Just to bum around or jam, nothing much, none of them usually give much thought as to why they wanted to meet up. But each time they leave each other, it's always either they didn't want to, or feel very awkward in the process of leaving each other.
"You go first!" Finn demanded, locking his eyes with the vampire.
"No, you go!" she replied, a playful grin on her lips.
Finn put on a determined look on his face and charged towards her in full speed. He took her by surprise as he grabbed her by the waist and dragged her down onto the ground, pulling her close to him as both of them landed onto the lush, green grass, her on him. They both giggle with playfulness, adrenaline in their heads. Marceline, sighed, content of having to lie down on Finn's warm body and put her arms around his covered neck. She bought her cheek close to his and squished them together.
Squish, squish.
She thought, as she rubbed her cold cheeks against his warm ones. This elicited a giggle from him, as he tried to wiggle out from under her. She let him go and rolled over to his side, lying down on the dewy, moonlit grass.
Both of them remained silent after that, staring at the bright, blue moon. As she was staring, a thought suddenly came to her mind.
Marceline was never the type to think, she's mostly impulsive. But when she does think, she gets really deep with her thoughts. And her thoughts suddenly (and stupidly) lingered to the night when she and Finn did the deed. She bit down her lips from forming a grimace. To be quite honest, the incident disturbs her. It disturbs her so very much. It has been awhile since she ever had sex with a man. The last time she did it was with a woman, even. And that was a very long time ago. The fact that she had sex with a man again proved the fact that she might be attracted to both genders after all, she guessed, but that's not the point. The point is the fact that she did it with Finn, a human boy who is only recently an adult by normal human standards, she guessed. Frustrated, she let out a silent sigh to let out the stress that she's feeling; very quietly though, so that the boy beside her won't pick up anything from it.
But he did anyways.
"What's up?" he asked, as he turned his body to lay on his side so that he could look at her while they talk.
Marceline didn't reply instantly. She continued staring at the moon above, ignoring the human that was studiously studying her face. How her hair shine under that dim moonlight, how her skin looked significantly bluer than the normal grayish tone, how her aqua eyes (which are red sometimes but is aqua under normal circumstances) sparkle as it continued staring at the moon.
After a significant amount of silence, the vampire replied to him with a simple 'nothing'. Finn didn't know what to feel with the answer but he continued studying her face anyways, not thinking of what made him become so interested in it. The longer he stared at her, the more she felt a blush crawling onto her face. After more long silence, she finally decided to confront him,
"What is it?" she asked, trying to make her voice sound like it was brimmed with annoyance.
"Sorry," Finn replied quickly, picking up her tone. "I forget that staring is rude sometimes," he lamely gave an excuse.
Marceline huffed, glad to have the feeling of a blush creeping to her face disappear. But even after giving the apology, the boy kept staring at her.
"You're still staring!" she suddenly erupted, the blush, forming fully on her face.
"Sorry, sorry!" Finn laughed, rolling back onto his spine, clutching onto his abdomen. The vampire quickly sat up upon seeing his reaction.
"You were teasing me, weren't you!?" she cried accusingly. She proceeded to smack him everywhere as he continued laughing at her.
"Okay, okay, stop," he breathed, grabbing onto one of her wrists to a halt while at the same time, still trying to suppress his laugh. His joyous blue eyes caught her pissed-off aqua ones and suddenly his free hand proceeded to touch one side of her cheek.
Now here comes the awkward part of their leaving-each-other process.
"I guess I should go now…," Finn said, hand still cupping her cheek.
"It's late after all," she continued, as her body relaxed after the small fight.
The human boy sat up, sighing for no reason in the process. "Bye, Marcy," he said; and then he stood up, walking away from her, towards his own home.
She looked on as he walked off, his figure slowly getting smaller as he went further. The vampire suddenly felt a surge of emptiness that she couldn't understand, and before she could stop herself, she spoke up, "See you around, Finn…!"
Finn turned around to look at her, but before he knew it, she was already flying off into the distance.
"See you around…," he whispered.
He looked down to his hand that had just cupped the Queen's cheek just a few moments ago, and then he clenched it, and brought it up to his heart.
It was only a fling, Finn, her voice echoed in his head. Even if it was only a fling, it still disturbed him. It disturbs him so very much. Yet, there they are, playing around like always, like nothing happened…
I hope this won't get back to me and bite me in the ass, the Hero suddenly thought, and resumed his journey back to his home where Jake and Beemo are probably waiting for him.
So that's all for today's chapter.
What did you think of it?
Please favourite and leave a review~!
Oh, by the way, that mention of Marceline having sex with a woman? Yeah, I guess that's what you can call a subtle Bubbline mention. I'm not a supporter but the creators said that they used to date, then why not mention about it. People still mention about Ash and stuff... :T (Also, in other words, I made Marcy a bisexual in this fic lololol)
But yeah, tell me your thoughts upon this matter. I'd like to hear about this.
