Chapter 2
Gumball opened the door to his house with a slam, immediately plopping himself down on the couch. Gumball's dad, Richard, walked out from the kitchen with a plate full of food and noticed the boy. "How was school Gumball?" The rabbit humanoid asked, sitting down on the couch and munching on his chips.
"Sooo... loonnggg.. Why do we have to go to school dad? We don't use any of this stuff in the real life anyway! Especially Geometry! What good is that for? You graduated without having to do this stuff, right dad?" Gumball sat up, looking up at his dad with hope-filled eyes.
"Not true, I did have to take those classes." Richard said. Gumball scowled and rolled off the couch.
"But I don't remember any of it." Richard said, looking thoughtful.
Gumball sat up from the floor. "See? Useless!" He growled, throwing his hands up in the air and then landing on his stomach, using his feet to slide himself into the kitchen.
Nicole walked into the house and noticed Gumball. Her tail twitched. "Gumball! Walk like a normal person! And Richard! I thought I said no eating all the junk food!"
"Abort Mission! I repeat, abort mission!" Richard yelled, setting the food down on the couch and flailing his limbs, attempting to run up the stairs to hide. However, the big rabbit simply fell on his face. He began swimming up the stairs, pretending that he was in a pool.
"This family is so strange." Anais said, walking out from the kitchen with a popsicle. Anias looked down as Gumball slid past her and went into the kitchen, sliding up into a chair and sitting down.
She gave him an odd look. "How did you do that?" Anais asked.
"Gravity doesn't work on me." Gumball said, shrugging.
Anais just shook her head and went into the family room.
Nicole walked into the kitchen and pulled out some lettuce from the fridge. "Gumball, go see how Darwin is doing."
"Fineee." Gumball sighed, flicking his tail as he went over to the back door and went into their yard. He didn't want to see Darwin at the moment, especially because of the dream he had the night before. Nervously, he walked over to the edge of the pool and crouched down, his ears back against his head.
Before he could say anything, Darwin's head popped up a foot away from him and smiled.
"Hey Gumball! How was school?" He asked.
"It was fine.." Gumball mumbled nervously.
Darwin cocked his head. "Everything ok?" He asked.
"Y-Yeah, it's fine!" Gumball jumped, not wanting to explain himself to the fish.
Darwin flicked his tail fin in and out of the water as he watched Gumball.
"Soo..." Gumball sat at the edge again and looked down at the humanoid fish. "Don't you ever get bored?"
"Bored?"
"Yeah, like bored of just being in this small pool all day and all night."
"Hmmm..." Darwin put a finger to his lips, and looked thoughtful. Gumball's eyes slid down to his lips and his breath hitched. The boy's lips looked so soft... He could almost feel the boy's lips on his from the dream.
"Not really." Darwin finally said after a moment. "I mean, yeah, I don't get to go anywhere, but you're all so nice to me and I get to see you all before and after you get home." Darwin smiled.
Gumball tapped his chin in thought. "Well my fami- er, our family, is planning a trip to the beach this weekend. Are you OK with salt water?"
Darwin nodded. "My type is able to be in both kinds of water easily."
"I see. I wonder if there is a way we can take you with us." Gumball said. Darwin looked hopeful and then his eyes lifted from Gumball's face to look above him.
Gumball lifted his head backwards and saw his mom standing behind him.
"Of course Darwin is coming with us dear." Nicole said, smiling and setting down two plates filled with chicken alfredo.
"How are we going to bring him?" Gumball asked, craning his neck uncomfortably.
"Your father is going to get a fish tank that we can set in the back seat. It may be a bit uncomfortable, but at least you will still be in water, so you should be alright." Nicole smiled warmly at Darwin.
Darwin's ear fins wiggled excitedly. "Hooray!" He threw his hands up in the air and arched his back, slipping into the water and doing twists as he moved elegantly under the water's surface.
Nicole smiled. "I am so happy to welcome him into the family. It may be hard since he has to be in water, but I am sure that it will work out for all of us." Nicole looked down at Gumball and smiled brighter, before walking back into the house.
Gumball grabbed his plate of food and started munching on it, before realizing they didn't have drinks.
He watched as Darwin continued to swirl and slide underneath the water's surface before he popped up again near where Gumball was.
"I'm soo excited!" Darwin said, his face so lit up it made Gumball blush.
"Y-Yeah me too. Hey we don't have drinks, you want anything?" He asked.
Darwin rested his elbows outside of the pool and rested his chin on his hands. "Anything is good with me!" He smiled.
Gumball turned completely red, earning a raise of an eyebrow from the fish. Gumball stood up abruptly and turned around. "O-OK then!" He rushed through the backdoor quickly and shut it hard, pressing his back against the cold door as he panted.
H-He was so cute! What am I suppose to do? He is my brother! I mean half-brother, so it isn't like it's incest or anythi- NO! I can't be thinking like that! All because of that stupid dream!
Gumball sighed and leaned his head back, pressing his long blue cat ears hard against the door.
"What are you doing?" A small voice asked. Gumball jumped high into the air and landed on the table on all fours; his long blue tail puffed up like a raccoon.
"Y-You scared the crap out of me, Anais!" Gumball snarled, baring his fangs at the young bunny.
Anais just scratched her left ear and gave him an all-knowing smirk. "You were thinking about something, and your face was super red. Is it about Darwin?" She asked, hitting the nail on the head.
Gumball stuttered and got off the table, trying to act cool and looking away, crossing his arms. "No, of course not. Why would I get all red because of him?"
"Because you like him?"
Gumball took a step back and looked at her in shock. "W-What are you talking a-"
"Don't play dumb Gumball, I can tell you have feelings for him. You started acting weird ever since last night. I'm guessing you had a dream involving him or something." She crossed her arms, looking at him with a raised eyebrow. Gumball gaped at her.
"H-How did y-"
"Oh, it's so obvious Gumball. I can read you like an open book." Anais laughed slightly.
"This isn't fair!" Gumball growled, his ears still back in defense."
"You don't need to get angry at me, I won't tell mom or dad." Anais said, sitting down in a chair.
"I can't talk right now, Anais.." Gumball said, noting the look from Anais that was all too clear. She wanted to talk about it. "I need to bring drinks out for Darwin and I."
Anais sighed, flicking her rabbit ears back and forth. "Fine, but I'll be waiting to talk to you later." She jumped off the chair and walked away, leaving Gumball to relax from his shocked state.
Gumball quickly shook it off and went to the fridge, grabbing two orange sodas and bringing them outside.
Darwin was already halfway through his dinner, when he looked up and saw Gumball with the drinks.
"Took you long enough brother!" Darwin chirped, grinning at him. Gumball's heart jumped at the word 'brother' and just laughed it off.
"Sorry, Anais wanted to give me a lecture for not cleaning my room yesterday."
Darwin laughed. "Is your room really messy?" He asked.
"It's like a tornado hit it." Gumball replied. Darwin broke out into a loud laugh, sending shivers down Gumball's spine.
Darwin wiped at his eyes and grinned. "Wish I could see it."
"I do too..." Gumball said, almost in a whisper. Gumball blushed a little and turned his attention to his food. Gumball had to blink before he realized what he said, and he blushed as well.
Both boys ate in awkward silence until they finished. Gumball gathered up their plates and the empty soda cans, then stood up. "Well, I'm gonna head to bed." He said quietly, looking away. Darwin looked up and him and gave him a small smile.
"Alright, goodnight Gumball." He said cheerfully.
Gumball looked down at him and nodded, the blush seeping back into his cheeks. "Goodnight!" Gumball walked towards the backdoor, fighting the feline urge inside him to flee quickly away from the scene.
Once inside, Gumball placed the dishes in the sink and walked slowly up to his bedroom; dragging his feet. He walked into his room and slipped his shirt off, before turning towards his bed and seeing Anais sitting on it.
"Ahh!" Gumball yelled, falling backwards.
"I told you I was going to wait and talk to you later, did I not?" Anais said, crossing her arms.
Gumball signed and crossed his legs as he sat on the floor in front of her, crossing his arms in front of his chest defensively. "You scared me! I was getting ready for bed!"
"It isn't like I haven't seen you shirtless before, brother." Anais said, rolling her eyes.
"Whatever." Gumball said, baring his teeth slightly.
"Anyway, the reason I'm here is to discuss you and Darwin."
"There is nothing to discuss..."
"Clearly there is, you have feelings for him."
"I do not!" Gumball growled, standing up and glaring at her.
"Really? You're going to deny it after what I saw in the kitchen?" Anais questioned, raising an eyebrow.
Gumball slumped and walked up to the bed, collapsing face first on it.
"Fine, continue." Gumball mumbled, his voice muffled by the sheets.
"Thank you," Anais said, leaning against the foot board. "I could tell you had feelings for him after you woke up this morning. So, what kind of dream was it?"
Gumball sat up and looked at her. "I think my dreams are personal,thank you very much."
"So it was dirty?"
"NO!" Gumball practically shouted, glaring at her.
"So tell me."
"Fine..." Gumball sighed and explained his dream to her. After a few minutes, Anais nodded. "So ever since that kiss, that was suppose to basically save you from drowning, you have been feeling love for Darwin, correct?"
"I wouldn't say love." Gumball blushed, looking away and flattening his ears back.
Anais chuckled. "Alright, so you like him then, right?"
"A little..." Gumball blushed.
"So why don't you just tell him?"
"It isn't that easy!" Gumball gaped at her.
Anais smiled. "Yes it is, here, I have a plan. But you'd have to do it on our trip to the beach in order for it to be successful... hopefully." She leaned up to one of his cat ears and whispered into it. After a minute, Gumball perked up.
"That might just work." He said.
Anais jumped off the bed and walked towards the door. "Good luck Gumball. And goodnight." She grinned and closed the door, leaving Gumball on his own.
Gumball curled up under his covers and turned off the lights.
It just might work... Gumball thought, shoving his face into his pillow.
The weekend could not get there fast enough.
