C is for Common Sense
"So tell me, Bon. Thoroughly explain to me what common sense is." Marshall Lee said while floating beside Princess Bubblegum, who is writing and finishing some paperwork on her desk. The princess sighed, and placed her quill down and faced the rowdy Vampire King.
"Common sense, Marshall Lee, is sound and good judgement based on one's simple perception about a situation." She explained. Marshall Lee raised an eyebrow at her. "English, Bonnie?" Princess Bubblegum glared at him and stood up.
"Common sense is something that a normal person should have! Like you for example!" she exclaimed. The Vampire King simply floated towards her, relaxed and calm. "Expand the thought, princess." He sneered.
"I'll give you a situation. A lady is working on some important paperwork that is due tomorrow and she's halfway there. And then, an obnoxious man suddenly barges in and disturbs her! What do you think is the right action that the man should've taken?" she asked seriously. Marshall Lee placed a hand on his chin, as if thinking deeply.
"Touch her stuff?" he said, making the princess go red in anger.
"NO! Leave. Her. Alone!" she said and gathered her paperwork, ready to leave the room. Marshall Lee crossed his arms and pouted, but it was no use. He couldn't stop Princess Bubblegum from leaving. She turned her heel to face him and said; "That's common sense, Marshall. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be retiring to my quarters. See you." She said and walked away, leaving the Vampire King all to himself inside her study.
Time was slowly ticking inside Princess Bubblegum's room. The paperwork she was working on was almost finished, a fine achievement for her. Then, she sighed deeply. She put down her quill and rested on her palm, as if feeling very bored. "I guess I could use a little noise too, huh." She muttered. "It's getting kind of tedious without Marsh-" she paused, trying to ponder on what she just said.
"I did not just miss that obnoxious vampire..."
"Mumbling stuff to yourself, princess?" Marshall Lee suddenly popped out of nowhere above the young princess. She looked up to him and gasped a little.
"D-did you hear what I was saying?" she asked, feeling kind of embarrassed. Marshall Lee smirked at her. "Every word of it. I do have vampire ears, Bonnie." He replied. Princess Bubblegum looked down, trying to hide her blushing face.
"I-it... doesn't... I mean... I didn't mean it t-that way..."she muttered. The young vampire snickered and floated lower, so that he could face the young ruler face to face.
"So you miss me?" he asked. Princess Bubblegum's hands were at her mouth, still in an attempt to hide her face. "N-no..." she replied and averted her eyes off him. This gesture of hers made the great Vampire King of the Nightosphere be all fuzzy inside. He scratched his head and was also in attempt to hide the faint shade of blush on his cheeks.
"I was thinking about that common sense thingy of yours." He said.
"And I think that in this situation, the best thing to do is..."
He leaned a little closer to her face, placing a small peck on her lips. "...to kiss you."
"W-wha... how is that common sense?" she asked, feeling the blood gush up her cheeks. Marshall Lee snickered, and then smiled. "Because in this situation of ours, my good judgement based on my simple perception is to kiss you." He replied. She pouted.
"Well played, Marshall Lee. Well played."
I am deeply, humbly, so, so very sorry for the very short chapter D: C is kinda hard so yeah. Hope you still liked it though :) Am also sorry for always ending with a kiss. Never really expected that. Meh.
