A/N Thank you to everyone who reviewed and followed my story J and I'm so sorry for taking so long to update I had the worst writers block for this story and I had so much homework and tests that I just couldn't find the time to write and I also started watching Sherlock and Supernatural and I was writing this Marball one shot (Which by the way if you want to read is called lips of an angel) and ughh so much stuff, but anyways sorry for the rant, here you go hope you all like this chapter!
Marshall Lees POV
"Marshall Lee what are you doing! Someone could have seen us! I would have been humiliated in front of my whole kingdom!" the words repeated in my ears as I flew over the candy kingdom to get home to my cave. The look PG gave me when he said that broke my heart, was I really that much of an embarrassment to him? I knew he was shy about showing his emotions and needed to act all prince like in front of his people but no one even saw us when we kissed. Maybe it wasn't the people he cared about; maybe he just doesn't like me. As I thought about what happened tears began to roll down my cheeks and fly off into the sky while the cold air hit my face making my eyes water even more. "What the heck! You are Marshall Lee king of the vampires, tough demon, butt kicken, awesome bass player! Why are you crying over some little candy prince? Why do you care if he yelled at you or if he likes you?" because you love him. That's right Marshall Lee vampire king had fallen head over heels for the candy prince in a matter of months. He can still remember the first time they met.

"Let's go see what Fionna is up to today!" It was a beautiful day out, cloudy, gloomy and cold with no sun peeking through the sky what so ever, my favorite kind of day. Since I didn't need to be cramped in my house until dark like usual I decided to go to my old tree house and see what the squirt and her cat were up to. As I approached the house I saw two white bunny ears sticking up from Fionna sitting outside on the grass next to some pink guy with a crown on playing a game on Bmo while cake played her dulcimer and talked to this long black horse? Who are these two? I decided to have a little fun with them. I turned myself invisible and floated down in between Fionna and pink dude, but just when I was about to turn myself into a monster Fionna said "Hello Marshall Lee" I turned myself visible again and noticed the pink guy jumped a little at the sudden appearance of a vampire next to him so it wasn't a complete failure. "How did you know I was here?" I asked Fionna a little peeved my plan didn't work on her. "I saw you up their flying duh! If you're going to try and scare me you should really be sneakier!" she said while laughing at the annoyed look on my face, I just stuck my forked tongue out at her. I then floated over her and her pink friend and decided to hang out for a while "so what you doing?" I asked. "Playing adventure master with PG" Fionna said concentrated more on the game then the conversation. "PG?" I asked still unaware of whom this pink guy was. Fionna paused the game and set down her controller "OH! Sorry Marshall this is Prince Gumball of the candy kingdom, I figured you guys have met since you've been around for so long." I looked at the candy prince but he had his face turned the other way looking at Fionna as she spoke "Ya I've been around for a while but I usually don't spend a lot of time in one place remember I was traveling all over Aaa and I rode those giant goldfish, I've heard of the candy kingdom before but I've never really visited it, only flew over it, it seemed a little too sweet for my taste." The prince turned to face me at that last comment. "I will have you know my citizens are the best people you could possibly meet!" I was about to utter a witty remark back at this new guy but when I saw his face I was at a loss for words, he had these big beautiful violet eyes and pink smooth skin that I so desperately wanted to suck the red out of, I had no idea what these feelings were or why I was suddenly feeling, especially for someone I just met, and it was a dude, but I had lived to long to care about stuff like that. From that moment on I was hooked on the candy prince. I didn't even realize I was staring until the pink prince cleared his throat and looked at me with a face of confusion. "Oh sorry, umm I was just uhh thinking about stuff" I said as I scratched the back of my neck. Great first impression Marshall. Once I got my composure back I replied to the prince's comment. "So you're saying the candy citizens are the best people I could meet?" I asked "because I've met quite a few people in my day and candy people just don't sound that exciting" "of course they are! I wouldn't want to spend my time with any other people or rule over any other citizens" he said with confidence and a look of pride. "Have you ever left the candy kingdom?" I asked already knowing the answer. "Well umm technically no but uhh I have read about other populations of people and umm…" the prince said knowing he was losing the argument now. "So how can you know they are the best people if you've never met anyone else huh?" I asked with a smirk growing on my face knowing I was winning this argument. "Well I don't know for sure but" the prince tried to think of a response but I cut him off "See you don't know, I win!" I said in his face with a chuckle. I then floated over him and Fionna and stuck my tongue out to the prince knowing he was annoyed that he lost the argument; he didn't say another word he just huffed and sat there while fixing his crown making sure it was perfectly center on his pink hair and continued on watching Fionna play adventure master with his arms crossed over his chest. I laughed at his annoyance. I decided I would hang out here with Fionna and watch her play since I didn't have anything better to do, and I could stare at the prince and try and find out more about him, but after that argument I don't know if he will really want to talk to me. I floated their outside for what felt like hours just watching her play, it was so boring how could her and the prince not be bored, the only thing keeping me entertained was looking at the prince and all the little faces and moves he made, but even that was beginning to get boring I was about to just float away when suddenly the temperature dropped and it was freezing and snow started falling around the tree house. "It's Ice Queen!" Yelled Fionna as she jumped up and pulled out her sword ready to fight. Cake sprinted to Fionna's side and turned her tail into a flail also ready to attack. The Prince had this horrified look on his face, I wonder why? I mean I know Ice Queen can get kind of crazy but he looked like he had just seen a ghost or something he ran and hid behind that long black horse and just sat there. Just then the snow cleared up and Ice Queen appeared on a wave of ice laughing and shooting snow into the air "Where is my pink prince?!" what the heck? Ice Queen liked that pink guy? No wonder he was hiding. "You can't have him Ice Queen!" yelled Fionna as she ran towards ice queen swinging her sword around. I can't help but feel bad for just sitting here and watching this all go down but I don't entirely understand either. "Quit ice-blocking my man Fionna!" Ice Queen yelled as she shot ice shards everywhere, one barely missing me. I decided to just go sit with the prince while Fionna took care of everything with Ice Queen and that way I wouldn't get hit with ice. "What's going on?" I asked the prince while tapping his shoulder; I startled him since he was looking over the horse at the fight and he jumped and fell back on the grass. I laughed at him and he just glared at me. "Can you clearly not see? The Ice Queen is trying to take me and make me marry her! She does this like once a week!" the prince said in an annoyed voice, gosh it wasn't like I knew what was going on with him and the Ice Queen "Whoa what, she takes you and tries to force you to marry her? Why don't you just tell her no, don't you have candy police in your town who can arrest her or something?" I asked obviously not as accustomed with this situation as much as he and Fionna were. "Obviously I can't just tell her no if she is forcing me and my candy police don't really stand a chance against her since she has powers and all, but luckily I have Fionna to fight for me but it still gets annoying with her trying to take me every week." "Hmm I see, I think. Well I have an idea if you really want to get out of here. Have your horse thing or whatever it is go one direction and Ice Queen will think you're on it and follow him but really I can just float you back to your kingdom safe and sound." "That could work, but how do I know I can trust you, I just met you today and all you've done is laugh and argue with me." "Do you really have any other choice?" the prince scrunched up his face in contemplation and decided to go with the plan he crawled over to lord monochromicorn and whispered in his ear telling him the plan and asked him if he could tell cake so she could tell Fionna when they follow after him fighting the Ice Queen. He responded in Morse code and waited for us to fly off before he left. "So how are you going to carry me? Should I just climb on your back or?" the prince asked "Nah I got a better idea" I said with a smirk, I scooped up the prince bridal style and shot up into the air before Ice Queen could see us making a run for it. As we floated away I heard Ice Queen yelling in the distance "Get back here princey!" as I floated higher up in the air the prince decided to turn and look down and instantly yelped from fear of how high up we were and threw his arms around my neck, I blushed at the close contact but luckily you couldn't see it being dead and all. I looked down at the pink prince and noticed he was blushing as well at the close contact with me but didn't take his arms away; instead he nuzzled closer into my chest from fear of falling and had his eyes closed tight so he wouldn't see the ground anymore. "Getting nice and cozy now aren't we? What's wrong you afraid of heights?" the prince blushed even darker at my first comment "Afraid of falling." "Well don't worry I won't let you fall" I said with a wink and tightened my grip on his body, but he didn't seem to notice, or just didn't care. "I know what will calm you down, just don't freak out okay." I flew up higher into the air through the clouds and then there it was, full moon out with stars, beautiful. "See look, isn't that beautiful?" I asked but he still had his eyes closed shut. "Hey! Princey open your eyes! Look!" He relaxed his face and let one eye crack open just a little bit and then saw the sight I was talking about and immediately shot both his eyes open and had his mouth in a 'o' shape. "Wow, it's so beautiful, I've never seen the moon up this close, it's almost like I can touch it." A smile crept up on his face and it made me smile seeing his reaction. "Thank you Marshall for showing me this." "You're welcome princey" I said with a actual smile, a smile I hadn't really showed in years. "You know you don't have to call me princey you can call me PG like Fionna" "What does PG even stand for?" "Prince Gumball" "Wait so you're telling me you're made of gum?! "Well yes, hence the name Gumball" "That's pretty rad princey, but I'm not calling you PG, what's your first name?" "Bubba, but nobody calls me that." "Well I'll be first, I like that name, Prince Bubba Gumball." "and what is your full name?" "Marshall Lee Abedeer, Vampire King." "Vampire King?!" I knew that part would scare him and I figured he would be all freaked out about it now and be creeped out by me but what he did instead shocked me. "Hmm Vampire King, well I guess I'm in the presence of another royal, pleasure to be in your acquaintance Marshall." He said with a smile and nod of the head. "the pleasure is all mine Bubba." I replied with a wink. "So how much longer until we get to the candy kingdom, it's getting a little chilly up here." "Shouldn't be that much longer bubba" "Well I think I'm going to take a nap for the time being, all the commotion has rendered me quite sleepy" and with that he closed his eyes and turned his body towards mine and nuzzled into my chest, not even caring about how close he was to me and having no idea what kind of effect he had on me. He looked so peaceful and innocent, sitting here in my arms, all I wanted to do was hold him and protect him, I decided to fly a little slower so I could spend more time with him, but all good things must come to an end and before I knew it we arrived at the candy kingdom. I wasn't quite sure where to take him so I shook him awake "Hey Bubba, Buuubbaaa, wake up, waaaake up…" "Hmmm what Marshall what is it?" the prince said waking up with his eyes half lidded and letting out a yawn. "Where am I taking you exactly?" "Oh well the castle is straight ahead but if you could take me up to my balcony that would be great" "Sure thing Bubba" I floated on and went up to the tower balcony, the prince had already dozed back to sleep in my arms so I figured I would just lay him down on his bed instead of waking him back up. When I floated into the room a noticed a color pattern that matched the princes outfit, Pink. Everything was pink down to the color of the door knob to the all the walls, but I guess if that's what he likes. I floated over to the bed in the room and let go of his legs and set them down and lowered his body but when I did so his arms were still latched around my neck and didn't let go so I tumbled down onto the bed with him and he woke up with a start. "Umm, sorry Bubba, I was trying to lay you down since you fell back asleep but your arms were kinda glued to my neck and I fell." Gosh, I was so close to him now we were face to face, I could feel his warm breath hitting me. The prince just stared into my eyes not realizing his arms were still around my neck and our legs were now intertwined from the fall, we were basically cuddling. He kept staring and his face turned as red as a tomato until he came back to reality blinked his eyes a few times and pulled his arms back and straightened out his legs. "Ummm, Sorry about that, I don't know what came over me, uh thanks for the ride again and saving my butt back there, I owe you one" I got up from the bed and went to stand in front of him "Anytime bubba" I started to walk off but then the prince yelled something and it made me turn and walk back over "Hey Marshall! You think you might wanna, I don't know hang out sometime or something?" "I'd love to" I smiled at him and then grabbed his hand and let my cold lips graze across his knuckles and planted a small kiss on his hand. "Goodnight my prince" And with that I flew out of his window and into the night sky not knowing what would happen next but I knew I had to get some more of that candy prince.
