Wild Leafs, Thick Ice
No one seemed to notice how they jumped out from the depths underneath the table due to the chaos spreading around. The girl and the vampire were quite surprised by the view, as the ice blocks were just laying everywhere, guests tried their best to either run or hide and snow poured from the sky. It was all kinds of weirdness. As they reached the nearby group of candy people with Cake and the prince stead amongst them, they planned on acquiring some information, even though the person responsible was quite obvious.
"Um. Dudes, what happened he..." Fionna asked, but before she could finish, someone interrupted her.
"Out of my way! I know what happened, like, the best of you! I seen it all!"
Lumpy Space Prince emerged from the crowd, feeling quite in the battle mood apparently. Although knowing him, it was yet another time for his implausible stories.
"So, like, it was Ice Queen, obviously." He used his hands to show how she swooped down from the sky. "I screamed, I mean, I fought her bravely, but she was all powerful, and like, started to drag the prince away. I was like oh my Glob no you won't do that you power-hungry witch, so I started to wrestle with her and was all like, 'let him go you piece of nuts' and she was like 'na ha you brave individual' and then..."
"Alright, alright. That's enough info..." Fionna said, looking at all the ice shards just laying everywhere.
"No it's not enough! I, like, told you, it was an assault, and I was just about to tell you how brave I were, charging in like that, at the Queen, you know, that takes courage, you should admire that, and all..."
No one listened to him anymore however, as the girl and the rest started to search around. It would seem that the trail of ice lead in two different directions, almost as if the Queen planed it through. Complex planning and her, now that was something rare. And dangerous.
"We have two ways to cover. Cake, you and Monochromicorn go west. We'll head east. Someone will hit the spot!"
"On it baby gurl!"
She jumped quickly on his back and as they fly away following one of the trails, Fionna started to run her own course, marked by the cold shards on the ground.
"We?" Marshall raised his eyebrow curiously as he began to follow her.
"Well what? You don't have other plans, don't you bad boy?" She chuckled. "Or maybe you plan to stick around here? Tables aren't as fun without me around you know."
"If you put it that way."
As they disappeared somewhere in the forest and as the rest of the guests started to do their own bidding, apparently not really concerned about the prince as much as they were concerned about the free entertainment they still could have, the two girls came out of their little hideout. Their clothes seemed to be creased and their hair were pretty ruffled.
"Well well now, see what happens when we're not around?" The vampire straightened up the collar on her skirt.
"Terrible things it would seem..." The princess fixed up her crown.
"So what now, brainlord?"
"Now? Now it's when it gets interesting."
"Well, it did caught my interests from the very beginning." She looked closely on the princess curves. "Oh, you mean the girl and... Ooh! Yeah, that too. Interesting."
"Yeah right." The princess rolled her eyes. "You listen to what I say as always. Just like that time when I tried to advise you about your band..."
"I'm always listening." She interrupted her and smirked. "We'll see, one way or another. Probably another, knowing things." The vampire giggled. "Plus I think I'm winning, don't I?"
"Well well now, let's not jump ahead. The percents may be in your favor for now. However, I still have my wild card up my sle..."
"Slender waist, Bonnie?" Marceline placed her hands on her hips and smirked. "I don't see any cards here. Although maybe if I'd ventured deeper?"
###
The two just walked through the forest, passing by numerous smaller and larger pieces of ice, indicating that they in fact are on the right track. Those kind of abductions were hardly a new thing, what was strange however is that the Queen apparently tried to drag the prince somewhere else than just into the chasms of her frozen palace. As they ventured onwards, the vampire hardly seemed to be happy however.
"I still don't know why we're after him." Marshall sighted loudly and slowed down.
"Hm?"
"Well, we're doing fine on our own and you know..."
"As it happens to be, I like prince as well." The girl shrugged and still walked forward.
"But you like me more I hope?" He grabbed her hands.
"Depends."
"Depends on what."
"On many things." Fionna flicked him on the cheek.
"Bah, why am I even walking with you." The vampire let go of her. "It's obvious that I hardly care about the outcome."
"You know..." She pulled her shirt a bit, revealing her bare shoulder. "Although you're bad boy and all, I think we can... negotiate some reward at some point."
That made him smile. As he came closer and kissed on the exposed part of her body, he leaned to her ear.
"How about some payment on account?"
"Oh, I don't know, I don't know." She pushed him back and covered herself. "Will that pay off?"
"I can repay a lot of favors."
She giggled and disappeared behind a tree. Marshall simply smirked, as he was the type that enjoyed games, especially the ones that lead towards something else. As he looked behind, much to his surprise, she wasn't there.
"Fionna?"
She seemed to disappear and just as he started to ponder, a huge cone felt right on his head. He looked up, only to see her playfully whistling while sitting on one of the branches.
"One step ahead of you, dude."
As she jumped down behind him, the girl swiftly nabbed his hat and started to run away from him. The vampire, seeing it as an invitation, changed into a wolf and started chasing her around. Fionna was smarter than that however and as she circled around the trees, she eventually reached a small lea which was like a hole in the everlasting forest. She jumped gracefully right in it's center, the place where he could not follow because of the light. So he stopped at the very edge of the shadows and as he shifted back into himself, he waited.
"What's the matter, bad boy?" She circled around the lighted corners, tossing away his hat so he could not reach it. "Can't get in?"
"Is that meant to tease me?"
"No, of course not." She reached her hand for him and as he tried to catch it, she quickly pulled it away. "But I have it in mind perhaps."
She turned her back to him once again, as she slowly moved back to the center, rocking her hips from side to side. There, she simply sat down on the old log and looked at him closely.
"Such evil, you say you are. And yet. You cannot even catch a little, good girl?" She smirked and winked. "Maybe I'm too good for you dude?"
She took off her shoes and raise up one of her legs. Then, she proceed to carnally and slowly take off her long white socks. As she revealed more and more of her smooth skin and as she waved her fingers a little, all the vampire could do was to stand and watch. And Fionna was hardly in a hurry it would seem, as she did the same with her other leg, tossing her clothes under right before him. When her limbs were finally free, she stood up once again and closed her eyes. The feeling of dew over her bare feet was refreshing, so was the sun shining over her skin. The girl felt immense heat, as her heart once again pumped hard in her chest. She took of her hat and simply started to dance in the solar beams, as her golden hair flew behind, swirling almost like a peacock's tail. And just like that, she forgot about everything around. About the choices, the weird two girls, about Marshall, about the prince. There was just she, dancing in the light. And as the sweet melody poured into her ears, she didn't even thought about from where it's coming. Obviously it was the vampire, gently pulling the strings of his guitar, as he sat under one of the trees, still observing closely with much curiosity. And she, she just danced. But even he, the least observant person in the world saw there was something to her moves, there was something in each step she carefully waged despite her closed eyes. It was all about the choice as usual. He sighted silently. She didn't heard him in the slightest and as the small drops of sweat appeared on her forehead, as the heat started to be unbearable, both the one on the outside an the one within her, she took of the rest of her clothing, slowly tossing each and every part behind. She enjoyed being naked for some reason as she felt so free, without any bindings. Even the most insignificant ones. As Fionna swirled around, she stumbled upon the round hat she previously threw away. Looking at it with much consideration, with a quick gaze at the half-demon, she put it on. It was too big for her small head obviously, but there was his scent all over it which drove her crazy. Once again, a question appeared in her head, the one she could not answer so freely and easy. So she did the only thing that came into her head – she started to spin again, laughing to herself. As her delicate feet swopped around the soft grass, as the tips of her fingers reached the very soil, as her naked frame caught every slightest blow of the wind, as her skin almost glittered in the sun, as she tamed her thoughts just for a while, she felt somewhat happy. Much things waited for her decisions however, not necessary connected with beating things up. In fact, that was always the simplest part. Talking and choosing, now that's something far beyond her capabilities. And just when that notion hit her like a train, the music in her head stopped and soon after, she felt someone's arms tangling around her.
"Pure."
"Wait, how are..."
She seemed to be quite confused by the fact that he's standing near her. He just pointed up in the sky, as the sun was covered in clouds that came almost out of nowhere. And as the shades covered the world, he could walk freely. It was only natural that the first place he picked up was to be near her.
"And what did you meant by..."
"You."
Fionna looked deeply into his two blazing eyes, like two dark embers burning just for her. He didn't move an inch this time however, didn't tried to kiss her, didn't tried to bite her. He just stood there. As she placed her hands on his chest, she felt every deep breath he took. Every sight for her he made. The girl turned her sight away, as her fingers started unbutton his shirt in an attempt to venture deeply underneath it. This time, it was he who stopped her, placing them back on the outside. That made her look at him once again, as he leaned slightly for their foreheads to touch. Standing like that, the girl felt weird, safe, yet a bit uncomfortable for reasons known only to her. And he just watched, as his hands smudged her shoulders and back slowly yet firmly. Finally, Marshall opened his mouth, almost as if he wanted to tell her something. She did the same, as her lips shivered. Still, no words were spoken out loud. It took a longer while before their lips finally touched, with a smudge at first, just by the very tips. It was she that pulled him closer. It was she that tangled his tongue with her own. Finally, it was she that pressed his body so close to hers. In the meantime, his hands slowly caressed her long, golden hair, raveling it on his slick fingers. As their lips dismissed with a trail of saliva just tangling between, Fionna just placed her head on his shoulder. And they stayed like that, just embracing one another. Eventually, he whispered to her little ear.
"I think I'm winning you over."
"Do you?" She asked bit jokingly.
"I sure hope I do."
The sun was coming out once again from within the clouds, so she quickly shoved him back into the shadows, remaining in the circle of light. As they both stayed on the very edges of their little words, they smirked one to another.
"Tempted?" Marshall winked to her flirtatiously. "There's a lot to uncover in the shades."
"A bit maybe." She shrugged. "We can taste a bit of your ways dude"
"Nothing bad in having a little fun babe."
"Hm..." Her tottering mood vanished, as she took off his hat once again, to toss it away. "Maybe... Still, a shame you cannot join me here." She added with a sneer.
"I could. Just not at my best around there."
He said and turned his back on her. As soon as he did that, she charged and caught him, pressing herself towards his body hard from behind. And as she started to gasp loudly into his ear, as her bosoms pressed towards his spine, she started to unbutton his shirt without him opposing in the slightest this time around. Feeling his skin on the tips of her fingers was like a bliss to her. As she eventually got rid of the upper clothing, her hands ventured lower just to catch the belt and quickly got rid of that obstacle as well. With few swift swipes, there was nothing more to uncover, as their naked frames comforted one another without any needles contraptions along in their way. What a felicity it was. As they both anticipated the moment it would only appear, they quickly laid on the forest floor and started their playful movements. The dew smudged their bodies with each roll they made, alongside with the dirt and bits of moss that adhere to their skin. They didn't cared about that obviously, as they were quite occupied with themselves. With numerous swirls, flips and bends, eventually he ended up laying on top of her and playfully caught her wrists, rendering her unable to move.
"So what now?"
"Come closer and I'll tell you."
"Like that?" He leaned a bit."
"Closer."
"Like that?" The vampire moved bit more.
"Almost there."
"Like..."
As his face almost touched the ground, she raised her head towards his neck and placed her little teeth right on it. It hardly had any effect on him aside from the new round mark on his skin, that quickly started to fade away.
"Aw. Didn't know this little bunny can bite so hard on the wolf's neck." He chuckled. "Besides, I already have one."
"Getting it was far less pleasurable then getting one from me, huh dude?"
"Point taken, noted and proven correct babe."
They both laughed and kissed passionately, as their bodies raveled around each other almost like wild vines. Despite the fact that their frames had the occasion to clutch together not so long ago, apparently the hunger for more that they felt was beyond that. And as they budged, as they bestir, as they moved, as the pieces of grass flew around them, as the dead leafs surrounding their plays flew aimlessly, as more and more dirt and moss got attached to their bare skin, they just kissed. Their bodies grind in concord to accompaniment the flow, simply longing for more. Was it the heat of this day that drove them to this tenderness? The birds singing cheerfully on the trees, being the only observers? Or perhaps the excitement flowing from the fact that they could do whatever they want, being alone in here? It was hard to tell, but they managed to wait only so little before they strove for pollination of her delicate blooming flower. At least till the part of flowing pleasure. So, being the depraved beast that he was, he started without hesitation. With each thrust, each twitch, they could feel the soil underneath them almost bending to their will. The profound stench of earth only increased their thirst. Only increased the tempo and heat. As the first drops of sweat appeared on their skin, as each and every curve seem to bounce in the motion, it was clear that such famine won't last long, as they both endeavor to their peak. Seeing as no one could hear her, seeing as the only one around was her dear Marshall, Fionna let out a single scream that echoed amongst the trees. As their bodies detached, as the rest of passion quilt through their kindled frames, flowing it's own ways, they smiled one to another. After that, they just laid amongst the leaves and grass, knowing that no one will interrupt them, at least for now. As she cuddled in his arms by the tree, he leaned towards her and whispered jokingly.
"Haven't you forgot about something?" He smirked.
"I... Oh!" Her eyes widened. "The prince!"
###
In the meantime, Ice Queen was strolling slowly, heading to a place known only to her and dragged the prince by his leg with her. His other body parts, aside from his head, were covered in thick ice. It wasn't very pleasurable for him, especially since his face had a tendency to ram into things. She didn't cared all that much apparently, playfully muttering something to herself, while holding a book in her free hand, reading various anecdotes about love it would seem.
"Can you let me go, we all know how this will end. It's always the same..." He said eventually, as his forehead hit yet another cluster of grass with a thistle added for a good measure. "Aw, that will leave a mark!"
"No, this time will be different, I know it, and when I know it, I'm sure of it." She raised her finger, but shortly after she felt doubt. "Almost."
"Can you at least let me walk in a proper matter?" Just as he said that, he caught some dirt into his mouth which he spat out almost instantly. "Bah!"
"Oh no, no dear, if I'd did that, you'd run away, and as we all know..." She started to shuffle around in her little, wise book. "Where was it... ah! Here. 'We accept the love we think we deserve.' Neat quote, huh?"
"That doesn't make any sense."
"It does!" The queen screamed and let him go, tearing out and putting the page right in front of his face. "Look, there's even a picture near it!" She vigorously tapped her finger on it. "It's the one that said that! And if there's a picture, it must be true and important!"
"Um..." The prince took a glance. "Why did you draw a yellow hat over it?"
"Oh simple, it's because it was in black and white." She shrugged, "I don't like that, and he wouldn't like that either. So colorless. See? He's smiling now!" She chuckled. "Smiling, smiling, it means he's happy! And soon we'll be happy too, isn't that great?"
The prince looked once again, and as he studied the picture further, he saw a small red line along the person's lips. That, and a writing that said 'this one is quite the hottie as well' along with numerous hearts around. He just sighted.
"You're mad."
"Of course I am... mad in love with you, ah-hah-hah!"
The Queen grabbed him by his free leg and started to drag like previously. Once again, he bumped into numerous objects along the way and as the road had more and more rocks in it, the nuisance was even greater.
"Where are... aw!... Where are you taking... ouch... me?"
"Oh, you'll see, it's a surprise. You like surprises, yes?" She smooched the air, as his head ran into yet another boulder. "I know my gummy would love a surprise from his love!"
"You know..." He thought fast. "I may not... oh for Glob's sake... enjoy your surprise, if my face will be... yaw! All in bruises..."
"You think?" The Queen winked a couple of times, as if that was the thing she didn't thought about.
"I'm sure of it my... augh! for the love of... dear."
She looked at him, narrowing her thin, long eyebrows. He could almost see the cogs in her head working at full speed. Eventually, when she processed the whole notion, she nodded happily.
"Well alright, if you say so!"
She quickly smashed the ice surrounding his limbs, only to tie them up with a rope she had prepared. Why she didn't used it in the first place was beyond for him to comprehend. When the Queen did all her handwork, she just picked him up in her arms.
"Better?" She grinned with her pointy teeth.
"A bit, if I'd say so myself..."
"Good! Off we go then! How about a kiss on your boo-boo's, huh?" She came closer with her lips, but he avoided them as much as he could, shaking his pink head from left to right. "Aw, saving yourself for later I see? Okay!" She chuckled. "I'd love to have you vigorous!"
And she started to saunter once again through the forest. The thing that occupied her head the most at this very point, was that she was unable to read in this position. She stopped once again.
"Can you hold it?"
"I have my hands... occupied."
"Right, right, um... Oh! In your teeth then?
Without asking further, she placed the opened book in between his lips. She apparently didn't mind the drops of sugar sweet saliva on it, as long as she was able to read all the smart things inside. As she started to march onwards, gazing on the pages and quoting them out loud from time to time, the prince felt the need to change this state.
"Fan I msfe yfs sofffinf?"
"What's that dear?" She pulled the book out of his mouth.
"Can I ask you something?"
"What you want to ask? Oh, oh, if I love you? Romantic! Of course I do!"
"Riiight... No, actually, why aren't you, you know... flying?"
"Ah, glad you asked, you'll see now how smart I'm!" She seemed to be so proud of herself, as she raised her head up above. "You see, everyone expected me to fly and to be precise – to fly to my palace. No one expects me to walk in a different place! Besides!" She was so excited she almost dropped him onto the ground. "I made a distraction, they will never know where I'm heading at this very moment!"
"That... doesn't make any sense as well." He rolled his eyes.
"Why not?" She smirked and giggled. "It makes perfect sense to me!"
"Right... to you. Truly, you're brilliant." Gumball sighted.
"So..." She leaned closer. "That means you'll propose to me now?"
"I..." He looked at her once again. "What?"
"Oh, you know, compliment from compliment, commitment to admiration, something like that. And then, bam, ram-pam-pam, ram-pam-pam-paam!"
She grabbed him by the shoulders and started to swirl around with his tied up body, pretending that they dance gracefully. The Queen even bowed from time to time, almost as if she received compliments from her imaginary guests.
"Oh, I can only imaAlerts+gine how swell you'd look in a suit, my sweet, sweet gum!" She pinched him on the cheek. "Are you curious how I'd look in a wedding dress? Huh? Huh?" She slapped him in the face. "No peeking in that dirty mind of yours! You should never saw your bridge before the ceremony!"
"Don't you mean bride?"
"Oh, you called me a bride, I knew it, I knew I wasn't the only one with the surprise!" The Queen whistled. "So, when it's the proposal date, huh? Huh? I need to dress up properly. Or is it a complete surprise? Oh, don't be so mysterious! Is the ring big? I bet, you wouldn't skimp on me I'm sure!"
"Kill me..."
"With love? I will! On your wedding night! Oh I can't wait, can't wait! My charming prince and I, oh what a joy!" She jumped in excitement. "What stockings should I wear I wonder... no, no hints! It will be another surprise to blow you away!" She looked at him. "Get it? Innuendo!"
