Chapter 4: Gumball's POV
Marshall pushed me down on the bed, "God, I've missed you, Gummie."
"M-Marshall… We can't do this right now! Everyone will still be awake!"
"So?" He smirked, "That just means that you need to be a little bit more quiet."
He kissed me softly, but I needed more than that. Being away from him these past few weeks had been killing me, I couldn't let him get away without getting my fill of him.
I pulled him down, gaining the upper hand as I pinned his arms to the bed. I kissed down his cheek to his marks, knowing all too well how weak his sweet spots made him.
"Gumball," He froze, looking up timidly at me.
"Yeah? You okay? Am I hurting you?"
"No... but I'm about to hurt you."
He sat up and pushed me down with incredible strength, wrapping his hands around my neck til I could barely breathe.
"M-Marshall.. What... are… you doing?" I choked out.
"I can't stop it, Gummie, I'm sorry!" He cried, tears falling down his face.
"Gumball!"
"Gumball! Dammit! Wake up!"
I sat up coughing, trying desperately to catch my breath.
"Fionna bring the baby some water!" She yelled, "You okay, Sugar? You must've been having a terrible nightmare."
I took a few deep breaths and collected myself. "I'm okay, Cake. Fi? I think I'm good on the water, too. Sorry to make you guys worry… It's probably just stress over Marshall being gone."
"When did I fall asleep?" I asked, stretching my arms.
"You've been asleep since this morning. You came over to talk about Friday, but you were so worked up you fell asleep. I didn't wanna wake you up, you seemed exhausted," Cake replied.
Fionna sat next to me and took my hand, "I'll get him back, you know. He's probably fine and just wants to be all melodramatic like usual. He likes to scare you, remember? It's just… more elaborate this time!"
"I feel like this time is different, Sugar.." Cake responded, "It's not like him to go to the Nightosphere for a prank. He hates it there.. Plus, after the last time he was there and his mom tried to kill him, I'd think there's something bad going on for him to return home."
"I'm with Cake, I have a really bad feeling about all this."
"You guys are such Debbie Downers! He's probably fineeee!"
Cake and I exchanged a look and Fionna sighed, "Yeah, I couldn't sell that either. Should we really wait two more days? What if it really isn't a prank?"
"Then we should go tomorrow, we need the rest. Plus, I need to go get the ingredients to summon the portal," Cake stated, matter-of-factly.
