D is for Dirt

After hours of writing and research, writing and research and research and writing, Princess Bubblegum was certain that her research paper was enough to be presented at her upcoming Science Convention. She was proud of her work, and decided to get some afternoon snacks with some of the candy people as a reward for herself. She placed her paperwork on her desk, and then proceeded to her plans.

As she walked out of her lab, she stopped on her tracks and thought for a while. "Should I leave my research paper inside the lab or inside my room?" she asked herself. She pondered for a while, trying to reason with herself. Until she came to a decision to go back to her back to her lab and place the papers in her room instead.

"My room is probably safer." She said. She took the papers from the desk and continued to walk away from her basement laboratory.

On her way to her room, she came across Peppermint Butler and decided to tell him a favour. "Peppermint Butler, if it's not much to ask, could you please prepare me an afternoon snack?" she asked gently. The peppermint nodded at the princess request. "Of course, your Highness. What would you like to eat?"

"A sandwich, I guess. With milk." She said. Peppermint Butler again nodded "Would that be all, princess?"

"If you may, add some cookies and other pastries. I am sure the candy children would love it." She answered. The peppermint nodded once more and then made his way to the castle's kitchen. Princess Bubblegum continued with her walk as well.

Halfway through her room, she started to day-dream. She glanced outside the windows and her thoughts took her away. She remembered the days wherein Finn would swoop in and save her from Ice King, the days wherein she could rightfully call him as his hero.

And in the middle of her thoughts, she remembered that Marshall Lee was willing to be her hero. The thought of the vampire, filling in Finn's role somehow brought a smile to her lips.

"Well, well, well! I never thought that Bonnibel could smile like that!" Marshall Lee sneered at the window where the princess was staring. Seeing the young vampire surprised her.

"Shut up, Marshall." She said and continued to walk to her room. Without her noticing and because of the fluster feeling that's in her stomach, a candy was in the middle of Princess Bubblegum's way, causing her to trip on it. The papers in her hands were thrown in front of her like confetti. Marshall Lee abruptly took action but, it wasn't abrupt enough for the princess' delicate face already smacked the floor.

"M-my research papers!"

"Bubblegum!"

Both exclaimed in unison and both of their arms reaching out, as if trying to grab something. Princess Bubblegum was helped up by Marshall Lee. She hurriedly ran to her papers, dusted and gathered them. He helped her of course.

As they were gathering the papers that were thrown on the floor, the great ruler of the Nightosphere couldn't help but glance at Candy Kingdom's beloved princess. She was busy and worrying at the same time. He smirked and then noticed that there was some dust on her face. He scooted over her closer and placed a hand on her cheek.

Princess Bubblegum froze as she felt the cold touch of Marshall Lee on her cheek. She felt the blood gush up her cheeks. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"There's dust on your face. I am just cleaning it off." He replied. She blushed even more when she realized that she can't retort to him. This made him grin. "Geez princess, you're such a klutz."

He continued on removing the dust on her cheek when he saw some on her lower lip. Without any hesitations, he transferred his hand to her chin, a thumb grazing her lower lip. "There's some on your chin, Bon."

"W-what?"

He stroked her lower lip with his thumb gently, which made Princess Bubblegum redder and redder. As he was near finish, he pressed down his thumb on her lip and then glanced at her eyes. "My thumb can't clean it all up, princess." Before she can react, Marshall Lee leaned closer and pulled her towards him, closing the gap between their lips.

At a corner, there stood Peppermint Butler with a tray on his hands that contained the refreshments the princess had ordered. "The food is getting colder by the moment..." he whispered to himself.

S'okay, Peppermint Butler. I can have the food XD
