short chappie guys but still a chappie

MARSHALL'S POV

Please, oh please say you love me –or at least take what I said seriously! But… she's Marceline…. The densest person in the world.*sigh*

"Love you too bastard" she smiled at me "but why in the world do you smile like that?"

"What a way to ruin the moment" I muttered to myself *sigh* "I wanna stop by a snow cone shop before we get home, k?"

"K" she said. What now? She didn't get I was being 'sincere'… should I tell her I was?

"Hey, ya know I was being serious, right Marce?"

"Of course, you're my best friend! I love you just like I love Kris and Leeum! –and I guess I have to say I love Alex too!" she said while hugging me. O-of course… she loves me as her best friend! Nothing else…

MARCELINE'S POV

"of course, you're my best friend! I love you just like I love Kris and Leeum! –and I guess I have to say I love Alex too!" I hugged him.

Why's my heart aching now…? I told him the truth, didn't I? I really do love him, as my best friend; Nothing else… right? I can't be in love with him, I just can't… besides, I bet he doesn't even like me in that way, so I can't be in love with him! But whenever I say I love him I get this feeling of hope, and then it crashes back down on me when I say I love him as my best friend. Why's this so complicated, I've never felt this way before… I don't know if I'll ever feel this way about anyone ever again… but if I feel this way why can't I just tell him!? Why does this battle have to be this hard!? Plus… there's Ashley and Fionna to deal with.

*sigh* this isn't me anymore….who am I to care if I like someone!? I'm sure of some things though: I am not a mushy person, I am not a girl that twist her skirts into knots just because of seeing a boy (a deryn sharp line), I am not weak and I am not a person that gets depressed and emotional because of how they feel! So now I'm gonna have a fun time with my best friend. Best friend!

"I'll take a strawberry on, how 'bout you Marcy?" Marshall's voice said. I snapped out of my mental war between myself

"Eh? I'll have the same!" I said. I saw Marshall smiling at me and I smiled back. I have to stop thinking this way! He's my best friend and he will always be my best friend! I decided I would figure my feelings out when we got back home. My heart, felt lighter now. Hmm… maybe I should just say that all the time *heart ache* no, no –I promise I'll figure this out when I get back to ooo *heart ache gone* phew! Stupid emotional crap, it's gonna kill me someday!

"Something wrong Marce?"

"Eh? N-nothing!" I said happily

"ya sure?"

"Of course I am!" I said "we should go to the car soon!"

"Sir" the old man in the stall said, handing Marshall the snow cones

"Thank you" Marshall said "let's go"

"k!" I said. we went to the car eating our snow cones, we were still dragging our shopping bags around. Once we were inside the car we finished our snow cones.

"hey Marce, when we get back to the house what do you wanna do?" he asked, I looked at him "i-I mean, since we still have a lot of time before dinner what do you wanna do to kill time?" he said quickly

"Hmm… I dunno maybe shower?" a said sarcastically

"Oh yeah…" he laughed. Me and him… I think we're better as best friends, but still… I think there's still a chance of us being together… just maybe…. Even if there's only a small chance it still made me smile. Guess this settles it then… I love the bastard. I smiled at him creepily, he stiffened. This is fun~

"Please stop smiling like that" he said terror seeping through his voice

"No" I said frankly

finished!
