Chapter Two:
Marshall Lee had some business to take care of. He headed to the Nightosphere to help his dad with whatever he does. His dad spoke to him and gave him direct instruction but Marshall wasn't really listening. All Marshall was really thinking about was the look on Marceline's face when he was so close to her at the Candy Kingdom. The thought of it made him smile to himself. He could only imagine the things he wanted to do to her.
"Marshall, my boy?" said his father.
"Oh, yeah Dad?"
"Did you get the last part, son, about the flower pixies?"
"Oh, yeah. Gotcha." Marshall lied but his father didn't seem to notice. He only started talking again. Marshall Lee watched his father as he spoke in hand gestures, but he was tuning him out. He could see his lips moving but no sound was coming out. Marshall sighed. He wondered when this was going to be over. Marshall needed an excuse to leave.
"Uh, hey Dad, I- uhm. I gotta go help Princess Bubblegum slay a dragon or something..." He really did hate lying to his dad, and he did wish they spent more time together but Marshall always had something else on his plate.
"Oh yes. Alright."
"Dad, I'm sorry I jus-"
"No no, its fine. Go get jiggy with your friends. Go do what you young kids do nowadays." His father did a little arm dance when he said it, trying to hide his disappointment.
Marshall flew back to Ooo and, was headed towards his cave, but paused as he heard a beautiful melody in his ears. He flew up into the branches of a nearby tree and hid. It was Marceline. She had her axe bass again, but this time she was singing. Marshall Lee smiled. He recognized the song she was singing.
"Take me in. Love me deep.
Make me feel like I can't breathe.
Fuck me good, love me long.
We'll be our own song" she sang. Marshall bit his lip. It turned him on that she was singing those lyrics. To his surprise, Marceline sat right up against the tree he was in. He was afraid that Marceline was going to smell him soon. Marshall Lee decided to just go ahead and make his appearance.
"Love me like it's the end of the world" He sang. He completed the phrase of the song. Marceline jumped.
"Damn, I didn't know you were into sex songs, kid." He said as he sat down right next to her. Marceline was still trying to accept the fact that he was there.
"Hello? You just gonna ignore the fact that I'm talking?" he softly bumped her shoulder.
"No, I'm- I'm not ignoring you I- you aren't even-"
"Marcy, do I make you nervous?" he asked with a cheeky grin on his face.
"No!"
"Well, I think I do cause, you never have complete sentences when you're talking to me… But, I understand. I'm kind of a sexy guy." He winked. Marceline made a face that made her quirk her lips together.
"Marshall, don't even get me started." She hissed back as she pressed Marshall's back up against the tree. Her hands still hung on his chest. Marceline meant it in a forceful way, that she hoped would hurt him, but, Marshall took the push differently. He grabbed her hands and held them on his chest and, brushed his nose against hers.
"Girl, don't start something you know you ain't gonna finish." He warned. Marceline rolled her eyes. Marshall Lee let out a puff of laughter as Marceline snatched her hands away.
"I swear, one of these days, I'm gonna kick your ass Marshall Lee." She threatened. Marshall got up from the tree and stood up straight. He was still smiling a cheeky smile.
"Yeah, and I'm gonna turn into a fairy." He said it in a sarcastic tone.
"You know Marcy, aggressive chicks are really sexy." He said as he reached for her axe bass. Marceline thought that he was reaching for her butt, so she punched him in the stomach.
"Ouch! Sorry, sorry… Damn, I was just tryna play you a song."
He said, holding his hands in the air as if he were about to be arrested.
"Yeah, that's what I thought. You better be sorry."
"Oh? And what if I wasn't sorry? What would you do about it?" he teased. He came up behind her and placed his hands at the sides of her waist. She reached out to push him away, but she missed. Marshall Lee was too fast. He laughed as he flew up into the air.
"I don't know why you fight it Marceline!" he called as he flew off into the night sky. He disappeared into the darkness. Marceline sighed and, decided to head off to the Candy Kingdom once more, mostly because she was hungry, but she wanted to go to a place where she could think about things. Marshall was what was on her mind; she hoped she would start thinking about something else. The Candy Kingdom was the closest place, only a few miles away.
