The two of them had walked back to Marshall's house in silence, their fingers entwined with one another's. When they went inside, Fionna took off her hoodie, tossing it on the couch. Marshall floated into the kitchen, opening the fridge, "Hey Fi, you hungry?" She shook her head, walking into the kitchen and hopping onto the counter, "Nah. I'm good."

Marshall shrugged and shut the fridge, floating over to Fionna and sitting down beside her, shoulder to shoulder. They both sat there quietly for a moment, thinking over what happened. Fionna stared down at her feet, "So um...how long have you uh...y'know..."

Marshall let out a short chuckle, "Uh, it was a little after my 17th when I started. Stuff just started coming up and I uh...I didn't know how to handle it. So I did this." He pointed to his forearm.

Fionna nodded slowly, "Oh..."

Marshall took her hand in his, turning his head to look at her, "It's gonna stop Fionna. I don't wanna have to do this anymore. I wont."

Fionna lifted her head, looking at him. She nodded and gave a small grin. Marshall grinned back, pulling her closer to him and leaning his chin on top of her head. He let out a sigh.

Fionna smiled a bit, "So... you kissed me."

Marshall blushed, chuckling, "Yup."

She giggled, "Y'know... I kinda liked it...sorta."

His grin widened, "Only sorta?"

"Yeah," She grinned.

"Hmm. So, if I did it again, you wouldn't think much of it?"

"Maaayyybe maybe not. Hehe,"

Marshall slid off the counter, moving in front of Fionna. He wrapped her legs around his hips a bit, leaning his forehead onto hers. Fionna's face flushed and she giggled, "Marshall what are you doing?"

He smirked, "Nothin. Just kinda..." He leaned forward, planting a soft kiss on her lips and closing his eyes. Fionna kissed back, her cheeks a bright rosy color. Marshall deepened the kiss slightly, having Fionna straddle his hips. Fionna cupped his cheek with her hand.

Marshall's heart was going crazy. The butterflies in his stomach were fluttering like never before, and his cheeks flushed. He'd never felt so happy. Just being there with Fionna made him feel great. But this? This made him feel like he was in another world. He wondered what she was thinking right now. He wondered if he was feeling the same thing he was feeling. He hoped she was.

Whatevs. I'll ask her later.

Marshall slowly pulled away, breathing hard. He chuckled, smiling up at Fionna, who had leaned back on the wall, breathing harder than he was. Her face was flushed a bright red color, "Whoa..."

Marshall chuckled, "How was that?"

Fionna nodded her head quickly, "That was...really math." She giggled and Marshall chuckled along with her. He gave a small kiss on her forehead, unwrapping her legs from his hips, "Thought so."

Fionna smiled at him, hopping off the counter and leaning on the edge, "So whaddya wanna do?"

Marshall shrugged, "I dunno. We could chill on the couch and watch a movie or somethin?"

She grinned, "Okay. Sounds cool."

Marshall grinned, "Awesome. Heh, bet I can get there faster."

Fionna grinned, glaring a bit, "No way dude."

"Yeah."

"Nope."

"Race you."

"You're on."

They stared at each other for a second, glancing at the entryway to the living room. Marshall smirked at Fionna, then took off. Fionna started laughing, running to get through the doorway, "Hey no fair you cheated!"

He was hovering over the couch, "I'm a vampire Fi. I didn't cheat." he smirked and Fionna rolled her eyes, "Whatever man."

Marshall lowered himself to the ground, then wrapped his arms around Fionna's waist from behind. She grinned, turning her head to look at him, "Hey there."

He grinned, leaning his chin on her shoulder, "Hey, how's it goin?"

Fionna smiled, "Pretty good."

Marshall's eyes met hers, and both of them smiled at each other. Marshall gave a good look at her, taking everything in. She was stunning. Her eyes seemed to glow even more than they did before, and her hair seemed just a bit more golden.

How is that even possible?

Fionna's cheeks dusted over with a light pink as he stared at her.

"Fi...you're really beautiful, y'know that?"

She turned her head away, grinning, "Stop. No I'm not..."

"Yeah you are. You're like...crazy beautiful. Like the kinda beautiful that makes my stomach do like twelve flips every time I see you."

"Shut up Marshy..." Her cheeks warmed.

"No, I'm being serious. You know that you're beautiful right?"

"No..."

"Why not?" He frowned a bit.

" 'Cause I'm not...beautiful." Fionna furrowed her eyebrows, looking down at the floor.

"Don't say that...you really are. To me you are...and I'm sure to a bunch of other people you are too."

Fionna craned her neck slightly to look at him again. She grinned, then gently placed a kiss on his cold cheek.

Hmm. I should compliment her more often.

Marshall smiled, then kissed her on the forehead, "C'mon lets watch a movie."

Fionna sighed, grinning, "Alrighty."

He let go of her, then moved to his DVD rack, skimming through his movies. He had a lot of movies for someone who didn't come out of his cave very often. Most of them were gifts from Fi, but the rest he had from the Nightosphere. He loved movies. He loved how he could just escape from the pathetic world he lived in and enter a new one by just the click of a button. And all the more, he could enjoy it by sitting down and enjoying a huge bowl of movie theater butter popcorn. Though, when he was watching movies with other people, he liked to pretend that he was seriously un-interested in the movie. He thought it made him look cool. At least, he hoped it did.

"So, whaddya wanna watch?" He asked, still looking through his collection of films.

Fionna shrugged, "Doesn't matter to me. But, a horror movie sounds super cool right now."

Marshall grinned, letting out a quiet chuckle, "We just watched a horror movie like two days ago. How about something different, huh?"

Fionna plopped down on the floor beside the couch, sitting with her legs crossed indian style, "Uh...Ooh! Got any lame rom-coms? They're stupid but fun to watch."

The other turned to look at her, "So, basically you just admitted to me you watch romantic comedies in your spare time," He flashed a sarcastic smirk in her direction.

She blushed, stammering, "I uh….well...no I…sorta…"

Marshall laughed, "Calm down Fi, rom-coms are some of my favorite movies."

"Huh...well that's something i'd never thought i'd hear from you." Fionna grinned.

He cleared his throat, "Yeah...anyways i might have something lying around here somewhere," He continued to shuffle through his movies, finally picking out one of Nicholas Sparks' finest, and plopping it into the DVD player. He made his way over to Fionna, sitting down besides her and wrapping his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close to him. Fionna rested her head on his chest, wrapping her arms around his waist. A bit into the movie, Fionna fell asleep on his chest. Marshall smiled down at her, watching her in her peacefulness. He wanted to be able to hold her forever. To keep her in his arms and never let her go.

But sadly he realized, that probably wouldn't happen. So, for the time he did have her, he would make sure to appreciate every moment of it. He nudged her gently, slowly waking her up. She groaned a bit, and he chuckled, "You tired?"

She nodded sleepily, "mmhhmm…"

"Okay. You can sleep in my room. I'll sleep on the floor or somethin, " He carefully picked her up, carrying her bridal style.

"okay…" She muttered, her eyes stilled closed.

Marshall chuckled again, then floated upstairs into his room. When he reached his room he gingerly set her down on the bed, "Fi, you gotta take your shoes off."

She grumbled a bit, kicking her shoes off of her feet and curling up into a ball. Marshall pulled the blankets over her, then sat down beside her on the bed. He stroked her hair gently, causing her to grin to herself. He then stood up, leaning down to plant a soft kiss on her head. Before he could completely move away from her she grabbed his arm, stopping him, "Wait…stay with me," She said.

The vampire shrugged, "Alright." He moved around to the other side, sitting at the edge of the bed and kicking off his boots and removing his beanie. He climbed in next to Fionna and she scooted closer to him, manually wrapping his arms around her waist and linking their fingers together. Marshall grinned and pulled her even closer. He exhaled, leaning his head on hers while she fell into a peaceful sleep again. The two of them lay there comfortably in the quiet, and Marshall listened to the sound of her steady breathing. It calmed them, knowing in their minds they had each other. And Marshall Lee couldn't have asked for anything better.
