Marceline's P.O.V
As I wake I find myself alone in the room with a headache and swollen eyes. I take a deep breath as I get up and remember everything that happened last night. I feel fresh tears creep into my eyes but I bite my lip to hold them back. I don't have time to mourn Simon right now, I need to find Bonnie. As I walk through the castle there is no one to be found. As I make it down the stairs I find Peppermint Butler at the bottom of them talking to another candy person.
"Oh hello Marceline." He says as he quickly excuses himself and meets me at the bottom of the stairs. "If you're looking for the Princess, she is in her lab. Follow me." I nod and smile as we walk silently to a room with large steel doors. Peppermint Butler knocks twice and then opens the door. I mutter a thank you as I walk into Bonnie's lab.
I find Bonnie sitting at a desk with papers all over it and a bottle of something in front of her. I watch her pick the bottle up and drink from it before she finally addresses me. "Hey, how are you?" She asks with a very small slur.
"I have been better." I say as I walk over to her. "How are you?" I ask as I get close enough to smell the liquor that she smells of. I quickly pick up the bottle and read what it is; vodka.
"I am okay… Hey give that back." She says as she reaches for the bottle in my hand. I pull it away from her and grab her hand softly.
"Bonnie… What's up?" I ask as she tries to grab the bottle again.
"Nothing!" She quickly says as she hides her embarrassment.
"Yeah, because I really believe that after I find you drinking." I say. "How much have you drank?"
"The equivalent of about three shots so nothing bad." She says as she gives me a small smile. I sigh and unscrew the cap of the bottle. I feel the fumes hit my nose as I close my eyes and take a swig of it.
"I needed a drink" I say as I sit down on the floor next to her desk. I watch her slide out of her chair and onto the floor as well. "You never answered my question of what's up." I say as I take another swig.
"I just feel terrible for telling you." She says as she takes the bottle from me and takes a drink.
"Why?" I ask as my mind flashes back to what happened. I hold my hand out and Bonnie hands me the bottle.
"It was bad timing, and I am not sure if you were emotionally ready after your accident." She says as I nod and take a drink.
"I am glad you told me." I say as I put the lid on the bottle and set it behind me.
"You deserved to know." She says as I lay down on my back.
"I guess." I say.
"I always secretly drank after you cried in front of me." She says as she lays her head on my chest as I slip a hand behind her back and pull her close.
"Why?"
"Because it hurt me, and it was such a rare thing I just have no idea how to handle it myself, especially when I was the one who caused you to cry." She says as I tighten my hold on her. I lean in and kiss her forehead as we continue to lay there.
"This isn't your fault." I say.
"Whose is it then?" She asks as she scoots her body closer to mine and wraps her arms around me as well.
"The crowns." I say. I feel her raise her head off my chest; I look down to find her staring at me. We look at each other for a moment before she leans up and I feel her lips on mine. She slowly pulls away as a smile forms on my lips. She lays her head back down on my chest as she moves a hand up to rest on my stomach. I move my hand to the small of her back as we lay there together. "What do we have planned today?" I ask.
"We're going to go with Finn and Jake to LSP's place in about an hour." She says as she leans up and kisses me again.
"We should probably start getting ready." I say as we kiss again.
"Can we just lay here for a bit?" She asks as she snuggles closer to me. I give her a small smile as I hold her tighter. I lean down and kiss her before I lie down and close my eyes, enjoying the only person who can make my life seem as if everything is okay.
