"That was totally uncool."
The Vampire Queen floated backwards listlessly as she traced her fingers over the edge of the couch. Storming off wasn't really her style. If anything, it was the opposite of her style. Though she was just a little upset and for good reason too. No one would ever believe it but at one point, the two of them were happy. The two of them loved one another and got along well. There was a time when Bonnibel wasn't aggravated at the very sight of her or said her voice in disdain. A time when she was happy to see her, would throw her arms around her and give her gentle kisses or smiles. Although, those times seemed like a distant memory or that of a dream. Maybe they never existed at all. The deeper Marceline thought, the less she floated until she was simply sitting on her couch uncaring that it was lumpy and hard.
Her eyes narrowed and then closed as she took in a deep breath then sighed. Maybe she was right for giving up on Bubblegum. If she wasn't going to give her a chance to explain or apologize, then that was her problem. She was just her problem.
"Well, I'll agree with you on the whole uncool thing."
Marceline jumped in surprise to see a head of pink hair outside of her window. Princess Bubblegum stood there with her hands clasped together and her eyes cast downwards.
"It was uncool of me to take out my anger on you, even when you didn't deserve it. I'm sorry Marceline."
Was she really apologizing? No way, this had to be some kind of dream. Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, she floated to the door before opening it. Sure enough Bubblegum was standing right there with a look of absolute regret on her face. For once the Princess realized that she was in the wrong! Perhaps the two of them were expecting Marceline to give a snarky remark or to laugh but she didn't, she didn't feel anything. All she did was fold her arms and lean against the doorway staring squarely at Bubblegum. Bonnibel squirmed under her gaze but refused to look anywhere else but her clasped hands.
"Thats not it, Bonnie. You know that just as well as I do, thats not the only problem that we haven't solved together."
She winced visibly at the word together, and held her hands tighter.
"Bonnie, I know that you had to give up a lot of things for your people. Even, things that were around for a long time and.. important. But I need you to understand, this is the present and your people want you to be happy. Not to work yourself into the ground. I remember what happened between us, but you have to remember that you wanted to end us not me. I never wanted it to end. But you constantly blaming me and becoming irritated with me for no reason is only going to make me leave, not stay."
Unfolding her arms, she approached her slowly. Her hands reached out to touch Bubblegum's face cupping it in her hands. Marceline's fingers were cold to the touch most likely because she didn't have a pulse. Squeezing her eyes shut, Bubblegum willed the tears not to fall but they did without fail. Her lip trembled and she drew closer to Marceline, their foreheads touched and she whimpered expressing how sorry she was through little murmurings in between sobs. This was the Bonnibel that no one else would see. The ruler that was not always cheerful and kind, someone that had feelings and a limit. Someone who could feel, wanting to loved and be loved.
Despite her tears and her flustered face, Marceline believed that she was absolutely beautiful. Leaning closer, she pecked her lips before leaning away to gauge her reaction. The tears swam in her eyes but a small smile formed and she leaned closer to seal their lips together. Marceline smiled as one kiss turned into two, two into three and finally the door closed to her house. It was a good thing that she sent Finn and Jake on the wrong path, she could simply sit here and be comforted by the Vampire Queen for as long as she pleased.
