It was actually the most productive day Gumball had seen in years. Not only did he finish one of his most difficult theorems, he created a cure for the Ick virus plaguing the fluffy people, and sent Fonna and cake with doctor prince to deliver and disperse it. He finished all his paperwork, Blew through his meeting with flying colors, and even had time to bake everyone in the castle a five tier "thank you" cake. Oh he was on cloud nine. He felt lke the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulers, and it was Marshall Lee who had done the lifting. He couldn't beleive it. It felt as if the previous night had been years ago. Although he was productive that day, he found himself wanting the vampire near him again. Tomorrow was going to be a rest day. Just him and his king. But now, there was still a bit of work to do. Bake a bit of this, fix a bit of that. Little things he did to keep himself busy, but all of the busywork added up at te end of the day. By the time the sun had set and the moon had risen the candy prince was exhausted. He had not heard from the vampire or the adventuress all day, so he assumed they were together. Good thing too, perhaps FIonna was not thinking about how they had sort of blown her off and had gotten over it, at least, thats what the prince hoped. He didn't want to be scolded by Fionna. He was in too good of a mood for that.

As he finished washing the dishes he had mae from his latest baking escapade, he began thinking about the undead teenager. He knew Marshall was much more thoughtful than he would let one beleive. He was such a great guy, he was actually kind underneath all that hardcore punk-rock attitude. Gumball enjoyed everything about him. His hair, his smell, his attitude, his voice, all of it.

He especially loved how sensitive the vampire could be, Marshall had held on to Gumball like his life depended on it the previous night, like Gumball was the only thing in the world that could protect him. He liked that feeling. The feeling of protecting the vampire, the feeling of Marshall being submissive and showing weakness, proving he was not a stone cold creature of the night. He had to see him. He decided he would go visit him that night, once everyone was asleep.

Marshall landed in front of the wooden door under his umbrella and knocked, waiting for the blonde girl to answer. "Even though this was my house first" he mumbled under his breath as the calico cat opened the door. "Heeeey kitty. Where's Fionna?"

" Fionna doesn't want to see you paste-face" Cake said as she crossed her arms.

"Everyone wants to see this beautiful paste face." The vampire announced as he floated into the tree house. "Fifi!"

A voice came from upstairs.

"Go away Marshall Lee! unless you have food. If you have food leave it with cake and leave!"

Marshall flew up the stairs to FIonnas room and closed the curtains. "Fionna look I know we were supossed to have boys night last night, and me and Bubs kinda left you hanging."

"We were out there for half an hour before mochro and cake just took me home! Were you two fighting again?"

"Kinda."

"Kinda?"

"Sorta"

"Sort of?"

"Kinda sorta"

"Marshall!"

"Alright! Alright! Look we weren't fighting we just ended up talking about a bunch of lump that we didn't wanna bother you with. Besides we could have a lot more fun without princess. He's got busy work all day let's wait until night, and you and i can go looking for the forest beast. come on it'll be fun." Marshall Smiled, elbowing the girl in her side hoping to get her to smile.

"Sorry Marshall but I had plans with flame prince tonight." the young girl crossed her arms and looked at the vampire.

Marshall didn't like the sound of Fionna and the flambit boy spending time together at night. Exploring a dungeon or building a house is one thing, but nothing good ever happens at night. "I don't think that's your bet idea Fifi. I mean come on just ditch him. Why hang with prince pouty when you can hang with the vampire king? Not really that hard to choose." Marshall didn't like to share anything with the flame prince. He didn't like FP's attitude, he was always pouting and being too quiet.

"You're a butt Marshall Lee. I'm not going to just blow off my boyfriend because you're bored."

"But come on! Who am I going to hang with?" Marshall had been gone for a long time and hadn't spent too much time with Fionna, he missed her.

"You can hang out with prince Gumball and we can hang tomorrow night! Everybody wins!"

"Ugh but he's so...science...ey... He doesn't want to adventure!"

"I bet if you just asked him he'd go on an adventure with you."

"Fine. I'll hang out with him but I won't like it."

Since Marshall couldn't really have too much fun during the day, Fionna brought out some board games for them to play. They only played a few games before Marshall left. The vampire floated under his umbrella, debating on whether to go to Gumballs castle, or to his own home. It was a high possibility that Gumball was busy, and would just snap at him again so he decided to float home. Not being able to do anything during the day was a real pain. if he could be out during the day him and Gumball could probably have a picnic, or go swimming in the sunlight. Nice little things like that with Gumball would make him happy. He could sing to him, or just lay there and hold him while he rested his head on that bubblegum hair of his.

Marshall floated into his house through the door and put the umbrella down, and with nothing else to do all say, he took a nap.

...

Gumball walked up the steps to the home of the Vampire King in his pink pants, donning a pink hooded sweatshirt and slip on sneakers, hoping he was home. He wanted to hold Marshall, to kiss him to talk with him, to fuck him senseless. Whatever it was it didn't matter as long as they were together, but something had donned on hm earlier that day. they had made love the night before, so, were they just friends? Buddies? Did Marshall even want anything to do with him? This was something they needed to talk about before anything else happened between them, and the Prince was determined to make it happen. He knocked on the vampires door, and smiled when the floating boy answered. "Hey..." Gumball said, not really knowing what else to say.

"Hey. thought you'd be sleeping by now." Marshall said.

"Well I should but I'm not. I'm the prince I do what I want."

The vampire landed his red chuck taylors to the floor and wrapped his arms around the princes neck before connecting their lips, kissing Gumball gently. Of course, Gumball was taken a bit by surprise, but his hands found their way to the vampires waist as their lips moved together.

Marshall was the one to break the kiss. "Take charge more often Bubs. Power suits you."

"Marshall I need to speak with you. It's a matter of utmost importance reguarding our.."

"Say it. Sex."

The Prince turned red as the vampire began to laugh. "God you're such a prude! It's just a word. Sex. We had sex."

"Marshall cut it out!" Gumball scolded, turning deeper shades of red.

"You're halarious." Marshall said as he floated over to his couch. He repositioned himself in mid air onto his back, floating above the stiff couch. "Anyway, what do you need to talk about. We had sex there's not really much to talk about."

Gumball knew what happened that night. That was not sex. "Marshall we did not have sex last night." The pnk prince stated, crossing his arms and squaring his shoulders. The vampire looked at him, confused.

"But, last night you-"

"I know."

"And I had your-"

"Yes, marshall I was there."

"In my MOUTH. That wasn't sex?" Marshall knew that it wasn't just that, but he didn't want gumball to know.

Gumball walked over to the vampire and pushed him down onto the stiff couch, putting his hands on the vampires strong shoulders and looking into his eyes. "Marshall Lee, I love you. it took me forever to realize it but being with you," gumball rested his forehead against marshalls."I felt happier than I had in my entire life. I was on cloud nine. Even now just feeling your skin against mine makes my heart skip a beat, you make me melt."

"In my mouth and not in my hand?"

Gumball rolled his eyes and groaned. "Marshall i'm being serious! This feeling isn't going to go away. I don't want to worry if you're... going to be with someone else, or leave me."

Marshall stared into those amethyst eyes that trapped him every single time. "Bubba I'm not going to leave. Look, I know that's not really something that's easy to believe," Marshall said as he puts his hands on the prince's own."But I have nothing to run from now."

"I want a real relationship Marshall Lee. Last night's lovemaking-"

"UGH" the vampire groaned. "do you have to say it like that?! It sounds so... mushy."

"Well whether or not you like the words, I made love to you last night." Gumball sat next to the vampire, and pulled Marshall to lean against him. "And I missed you all day." The gummy prince wrapped his arms around the vampire, resting his forehead against the vampire's neck. "Be my other half Marshall."

Marshall closed his eyes and rested his cheek on gumball's hair. "You're asking me to be your boyfriend? You actally want a relationship with a monster like me? You really are insane." Marshall's eyes opened when he felt Gumball hold him tighter.

"You're not a monster Marshall...you're a wonderful person under all the dirty hair and sharp teeth." Gumball took his forehead away from Marshall's neck and looked him in the eyes, moving his onyx bangs out of his face." I don't know why you speak of yourself this way. A King should have the utmost confidence in himself."

Marshall was speechless. He wasn't shocked, or in awe. He just had nothing to say. So he kissed Gumball instead. It was soft, sweet and quick. "So you want a relationship with me. I dunno, I can get more emotional that a teenage girl."

"And I'll just sit here and help you through it. Besides if we're in a relatonship we can have a lot more sex." Gumball said as he pulled Marshall against him.

"Wait." marshall said. "Making love, or sex? Because Making love is hot and all but sex is so much more fun I mean you got blindfolds and ribbons and ballgags and then theres the edible underwear and whips and chains and-"

Marshall was silenced by a kiss from the gummy prince. His soft lips and hot tongue moved against the cool ones belonging to the vampire, His hand running through the soft black locks before resting his hand on the nape of the undead teens neck.

Marshall had just begun to kiss the prince back, when Gumball pulled his lips away. He curled his index finger under Marshall's jaw, and rested his thumb on his lower lip, gently ghosting his finger over the cold skin. "So? Give me an answer Marshall Lee."

Marshall had trouble focusing, but he knew that Gumball drove him crazy, and Marshall loved him more than he had loved anything before.. "What the hell. I'm in." The vampire said with a sly smile.

The prince chuckled and brought the Vampires lips to his own. "You know," He said between kisses. "I don't have to go back for another hour. I don't have time to really make you mine but we could neck a bit."

This frustrated Marshall. He didn't like getting all Horny just to 'neck a bit'. Why couldn't Gumball just fuck him then go home later? Fucking rules. But hey even making out with the prince had to be amazing. "Why not." Marshall said as he began to passionately kiss the pink prince, leaning forward causing Gumball to lay against the arm rest of the couch.

Gumball ran his hands along the vampire's waist before tugging up on the hem of the Marshall's shirt. He ran his warm pink hands right under the gray cloth letting his palms explore every inch of his chest. Marshall was built so well. It was as if Glob had taken the time and chosen every single piece of Marshall and building him just for the candy heir. As Marshall's tongue began to wrestle and slide slowly against his own, Gumballs thumbs gently rubbed the dark blue nipples on the vampire, hidden by the shirt. Marshall moaned quietly into Gumballs mouth, making their teeth vibrate with the low sounds coming from the vampire. Marshalls limber fingers made quick work of the large zipper keeping the prince's sweater closed.

"Mmn- Marshall..." Gumball whispered to his boyfriend, attempting to slow him down. However, it didn't work. Marshall broke their heated kiss and moved his lips down the prince's jaw, stopping at his neck. He ran his long forked tongue along the candy princes neck, enjoying the sugary taste.

"HAH-Marshall!" Gumball gripped his lover's hair and wrapped his legs around the vampire from the sudden rush of pleasure. "St-ssssst- hah-stop it..."

But he was the vampire king. He didn't take orders from anyone, so he continued to lick suck and nibble on the teens neck, enjoying every sound and every movement he got out of the prince. Gumball set his hands on Marshall's chest, intending to shove him off, but ended up pulling the vampire closer. Marshall Lee let his chest rest against Gumballs, and kissed the prince again. He kept one hand on the princes neck and the other on the arm of the couch for support, as his hips stirred ever so slightly, creating just a bit of friction between them.

It took Gumball a few attempts until he finally pryed his lips away from the vampires, dragging his bottom lip between his fanged teeth. He regained his composure and zipped up his shirt before speaking. "I should go...before this goes further."

Marshall didn't want Gumball to go anywhere. He wanted him to stay with him, even if it was just to wath a movie they'd seen a million times before. Just to be close to him.

"Don't leave...if it's getting home that takes you forever I'll fly you back. It only takes like a second from here to the candy kingdom. Come on we can watch a movie and just sit here. I promise I won't suck the pink outta yer hair or strip you naked. You're my boyfriend you're supossed to make your king happy."

Gumball wondered if anyone was even still awake at the palace, if everyone was asleep then what was the rush? He'd like to just sit with marshall, in his arms watching a movie. Falling asleep there would be nice... "How can I say no to an argument like that? Alright I'll stay. But no more funny business."

"Not promising anything Bubba."

And Gumball didn't expect him to. He laid his back against Marshall's chest, grabbing the cold blue hands and wrapping the vampire's arms around himself before letting his head rest against the vampires cheek. There was nothing in the world that could take away this happiness...

...Almost nothing.
