F is for Finger
Peppermint Butler stood on Candy Kingdom's beloved ruler's doorway, staring at the princess who was walking around and digging with her stuff. Princess Bubblegum was near to panicking. The documents she just finished yesterday went missing -or rather- she misplaced it. But she preferred the word 'missing' rather than 'misplaced'.
"Peppermint Butler... I looked everywhere!" she said and turned to the peppermint.
"Princess, you need to calm-"
"Calm down!? How am I supposed to calm down if I can't find that important paperwork! The whole kingdom depends on it!" she reasoned. Peppermint Butler sighed, and then walked towards the stressed princess. He patted her back gently.
"Maybe a stroll in the garden will calm you a bit, princess." He suggested.
"But how about the docu-"
"I'll handle that, your Highness. Now please, go to the garden and relax yourself." Princess Bubblegum smiled and then patted the peppermint's head. "Thank you, Peppermint Butler."
"I am just doing my job, princess." He replied with a reassuring smile.
Princess Bubblegum stood up and then walked out of her room and headed to the castle's garden. Upon passing by a window, she glanced at the sky and stopped to cherish it for a while. She walked towards the windows and rested her head on her palm.
"I miss those days wherein all I did was play outside and have fun." She muttered.
The young princess abruptly blinked and then continued to walk towards the garden.
Upon reaching the rose-filled garden, she touched the arc and sniffed the sweet smell of the flowers around her. She smiled, and walked inside. "How nostalgic... this is where I usually have my tea parties." She said to herself. Princess Bubblegum walked even further and decided to gather some flowers. She went to a batch of roses and picked one but, a thorn pricked her. She retrieved her hand immediately upon feeling the sting of the prickle.
"Ow!" Instinctively, she placed her injured finger to her mouth and tried to suck the blood in. She stared at her finger and saw a little blood still coming out. She was about to suck the blood again when she felt some movement behind her.
"Who's there?" she asked firmly. She heard more noises and shuffling but there was no one behind her. She narrowed her eyes and decided to take cautious. Suddenly, just above her, the Vampire King came floating down beside her.
"Don't you think that it's my job to suck your blood and not you, princess?" he said with a smirk. Princess Bubblegum stepped a few steps back upon seeing Marshall Lee. "Marshall?" He adjusted his hat and then floated near her.
"You look so surprised to see me." He said. Princess Bubblegum fumbled and then walked a step backwards. "You did have a surprising entrance." She replied. Marshall snickered and then gazed at her wounded finger; there was a trickle of blood. He grabbed her wrist, which caused the princess to feel a bit scared.
"M-Marshall, what are you-"
"I'll heal this up for you. Don't worry though." He said reassuringly. The princess tried to wriggle her wrist away from the vampire's grip. He held her wrist firmly but not too strong—princesses are quite fragile.
"Stop it!" she demanded as he leaned his head on her hand. He completely ignored her and then continued to getting closer. Seeing that there is no use in provoking him, she closed her eyes shut and prepared herself.
Marshall Lee can smell the drip of blood on her finger. As small as it is, he can smell the sweet bubblegum of the red seed. He smiled, opened his mouth slightly, and then gently sucked the contaminated blood on her tiny index finger. It sent a shiver on Princess Bubblegum's spine. She closed her eyes tighter as she felt a fang grazing on her finger. The blush on her face went deeper in color as well.
After a few minutes of intensity, the Vampire King stopped and then released the young princess's hand. She stepped away from and then looked at her wounded finger and was a bit surprised.
"I-it's healed." She muttered. "Blood is not coming out anymore."
"Well duh. I am a vampire after all. Blood is... my thing." He said with a smirk. "But don't worry. I didn't suck it all. Just enough to make it stop bleeding." He explained. Princess Bubblegum smiled, and then looked at the young vampire sincerely.
"Would you care to accompany me for a cup of tea, Marshall?" she asked. Of course, that sincere look that the princess gave him was enough to make him blush. He cleared his throat, and then floated down so that he could reach the ground and walk. He placed his hands on his pockets and looked down, to hide his crimson cheeks. "Well... why not?" he replied with a smile.
I have nothing to say for today. Peace ya'll. Let the Bubblee love live on forever.
