J is for Jacket

It was a fine morning in Ooo's Candy Kingdom. The candy attendants inside the castle were busy arranging and organizing around; some were dusting the palace, some were carrying heaps of plates and some were in the palace's dining hall, preparing the tables and chairs as if a grand ball is about to take place. The whole kingdom was busy, if one would look at it.

As their beloved princess went down the stairs from her quarters, the servants greeted her respectfully, which she returned with a polite nod. Only one servant questioned her attire though.

"Your Highness... why are you wearing that jacket?" The small peppermint asked. The young ruler could only avert her gaze as she answered.

"I don't have a dress that is suitable enough for a weather like this." Princess Bubblegum muttered. Peppermint Butler raised an eyebrow, as if not believing what the princess just said.

"But your Highness, the winter season just ended."

"I... I have a cold." She countered.

"Is that so!? Then please, rest for a while, princess!"

"What about the preparations for tonight's conference? At least let me help-"

"Please, your Highness. You might not be able to host the conference if your cold worsens." The peppermint said, gently guiding Princess Bubblegum back to her quarters. The princess decided to do as the small butler suggested, realizing that nothing could stir his decision. As they reached her room, Peppermint Butler helped her to her bed and assisted in removing her jacket.

"D-don't! Don't take off my jacket, Peppermint... it got... a bit chilly, so I want to keep my jacket on." She said.

"Then your cold must be worse than I thought! Please wait here as I prepare something to ease your cold, princess."

Peppermint Butler scurried out of her room, leaving Princess Bubblegum to sigh in relief. She took off her jacket, wiping the sweat on her forehead in the process.

"Good glob, it's so hot." She muttered. She didn't want to wear the jacket in the first place. It was only because she was trying to hide all the kiss marks planted all over her neck and through her shoulders. And it was all because of a certain vampire king.

"If only that idiot didn't... got carried away last night, this wouldn't be an issue." She muttered, feeling a bit mad. Though she secretly admits that she like it.

The two were inside Princess Bubblegum's room, having their usual conversation. And that usual conversation was usually arguing. Somewhere in their conversation, the Vampire King instinctively leaned towards her and clashed their lips together. They kissed for a while, until he pulled away and smirked at the princess.

"A-ah! Marshall! What the glob did you just do?!" Princess Bubblegum asked as she felt the vampire's fangs gently graze her neck.

"A hickey. Haven't you had one?" He asked teasingly. Despite the young ruler's protests, Marshall Lee leaned towards her once more and placed kiss marks on her neck and shoulders, making her involuntarily moan. This made him smirk as he went on and planted more butterfly kisses on her. With his hands on her shoulders, he pulled her closer, giving her more kiss marks.

"M-Marshall... I have a conference... tomorrow...I- ah! S-stop it already!"

Marshall Lee gently bit the skin on the tip of her shoulder and sucked it softly, creating another kiss mark. He pulled away and then faced the princess as he snickered in victory.

"I couldn't help it. You were so sweet. I just had to suck all the red in you." He said, sounding a bit seductive. Princess Bubblegum didn't seemed to be amused.

"What the glob will I wear tomorrow then? I can't just show everyone these... these... kiss marks!"

Marshall Lee flopped down the bed with his arms placed on the back of his head.

"Just wear a jacket or something to cover those up."

"Don't be ridiculous. It's a formal event, I can't wear something so casual."

The young vampire sighed deeply as he gave out a reply.

"It was just a suggestion, princess. And those kiss marks are there for a reason."

Princess Bubblegum transferred his focus on him, her train of thought stopping for a while. Marshall sat up and floated towards her. He gently bumped his forehead on hers as he spoke.

"Those are to show everyone that you belong to me." He whispered ever so gently. He held her hair so that her right ear would show. He leaned in and whispered something in her ear.

"You're mine, Bonnibel."

Just by remembering those words sent chills down her spine and her cheeks fluster in deep crimson. Her face felt so hot. As she heard a knock on her door, she hurriedly placed her jacket on and lied down on her bed. Peppermint Butler entered with a tray of hot soup in his hands. Upon noticing how flushed the princess was, this only worried the peppermint even more.

"Oh my! You are burning up, your Highness! Please have this soup!" The peppermint said frantically.

"T-thank you, Peppermint."

Now that she was feeling hotter, the jacket wasn't helping her anymore. She sat up and opened the zipper of her pink jacket and took it off her, placing it on the side of her bed, revealing the kiss marks she desperately hid. The small peppermint almost dropped the tray with the soup upon seeing the red marks all over the princess' collarbone. It left the poor servant speechless.

Princess Bubblegum finally decided to wear the dress her servant prepared for her for the night's conference, instead of wearing a jacket.

JUST GOT BACK FROM THE GRAVE GUYS! I told you I'd finish this ;)
