Marshall's POV
I opened my eyes to utter darkness. I heard Marceline mumble in protest and her voice vibrated through my ribcage.
Hmm, we must have fallen asleep earlier.
Marcelines' head was on my chest and her arm was wrapped around my side tightly, preventing me from moving at all without disturbing her.
Instead, I ran my fingers through her raven hair and settled back into her pillows.
Everything has been so crazy lately, I wish I could just have a day off. Suddenly I got an idea.
I nudged Marceline softly, she was so not a morning person.
"Marceline." I whispered.
"Marshall…" She whined, she then turned on her side giving me space to move as if that was what I wanted.
"Wake up sleeping beauty!" I yelled, and turned toward her, blowing in her ear.
"Ugh! Marshalllll…" She slurred, waving her hand by her ear and smacking me in the face.
"WAKE! UP!" I pushed her off the bed and leaned over the bed to stare down at her. She flipped me off but stayed on the floor.
"It is too early in the fucking morning for you to be such a jackass, Marshall Lee." I laughed and flipped upside down.
"Marceline Abadeer, would you like to go on a date with me?" I half expected her to laugh again but her face got serious.
"A date? Like a real one with romantic crud and dinner?" I nodded.
"Since when did you become such a romantic?"
"I'm trying to make up for hospitalizing you. Anyways, meet me over by your friend I saw you with the last time, the one with the treehouse…"
"That's Finn, and his best friend or brother or whatever is Jake."
"-Right, meet me over by them at 3." I shot her the most demonic smile I could manage, which by the way, considering I am demon, was very demonic. demonic.
"Why am I suddenly very worried?" I flashed her a grin.
"You should be. Very, very worried." I flashed a grin again and set out to make preparations for the day.
Marceline's POV.
After Marshall left I sighed and crawled back into bed. I slept until a loud buzzing that was my phone woke me up. I blindly reached for it on my nightstand and unlocked it. I saw that I missed a call from Marshall at 2:43.
I don't remember giving him my number…
I started to call Marshall back but he called back before I could press the call button.
"Yo!" He greeted, his voice sounding a little distant and was that the low whistle of wind I heard?
"Sup? Where are you?" He snickered on the other side of the line.
"Can't tell you. Anyways you should walk outside. Just saying. Don't bother changing your clothes. Just go outside." He hung up on me before I could ask any questions. Frowning, I made my way outside after slipping on some sandals and grabbing my umbrella.
On my doorstep was a little apple with a little note attached to it. I read the note while sucking the red out of the apple.
'Hey you :P So go on over to the Candy Kingdom, Princess Bubblegum is waiting for you –Marshy'
I pressed my lips together tightly willing myself not to cry. Nobody had ever done anything this nice for me, ever. I tucked the paper away in one of my valuables boxes along with the red ribbon from our Hambo's. Then I made my way back outside and over to the Candy Kingdom.
The Candy Kingdom was oddly more crowded then usual so I skipped the streets and flew straight into Bonnies' veranda.
I knocked on the door hesitantly. The Princess opened it immediately as if she had completely expected me to come in this way.
"Marceline! Finally! Quickly we don't have much time before you have to be on your way!" She leaded me hurriedly into her royal bathroom where a makeup station, curling iron, and clothes covered in plastic awaited.
"Wait, wait. What is this? Are you helping me prepare?" She nodded enthusiastically and hugged me tightly.
"I am so glad that you are alright, Marceline, I was so worried…" She trailed off. Then looked up at the display she had on the counter.
"So! Let's get to work." She said and plopped me into a chair.
By work she really meant work. Bonnie started by doing my makeup nothing too heavy after a heated argument over it, a touch of eyeliner, smoky eye shadow, mascara and a deep red lipstick. Then she moved on to my hair which she curled slightly making my hair very wavy. Finally, she unwrapped the clothes from the plastic and help them up for my approval. I tried not to ogle.
"Where did you get such an amazing dress Bonnibel?" I asked holding it up to myself and looking in the mirror, only to swear in frustration.
Of all the times to not be able to see my damn reflection.
Bonnie, noticing my distress, added cheerfully, "Don't worry Marceline you look amazing and I'm sure that dress will look absolutely stunning on you. Go ahead and try it on, I'll be back in a moment, I'm going to go get the shoes that go with it.
I stripped down and pulled on the dress. The fabric was light and airy, the dress was black with a metallic silver shine to it, and it was sleeveless and stopped mid-thigh.
I was toying with a strand of my wavy hair when the princess came back in holding a pair of strappy black heels with the same metallic quality of the dress.
"Wow… and Marshall put you up to this?" She smiled sheepishly and nodded.
"He came over this morning with instructions and I picked out everything and now I have to give you this," She handed me the shoes and produced a piece of paper handing that to me as well.
"I'm not supposed to read it so I have no idea what it says." She looked like she wanted to say more so I prodded, "Is that it?"
"Well Marshall Lee gave me more instructions, but he made it absolutely clear I was not to tell you." I made a face but nodded and took the paper.
It read, So, I hope I don't end up with a fluffy pink ball. The princess and I had several arguments about you wearing makeup or not. I said not. So, I'm waiting for you over by Finn and Jake's. You have some rad friends. –Marshy
"You better get going." Bonnie added with a grin, "It's 4:37"
I thanked her and headed off in the direction of Finn and Jake's house.
When I got there the sun was starting to sink down, turning the sky bright orange with pink streaks. I knocked on the door loudly, wanting desperately to see what Marshall had done in his final attempt to impress me. And impressed I was.
Finn opened the door wearing his regular adventuring clothes with a tie and a chef's hat.
"What's with the getup Finn?" I said laughing. He blushed but ushered me inside.
"I'm both the sues chef and the waiter. Anyways, I take it things with Marshall went okay? I heard you were in the hospital…" Finn looked oddly hurt that I had not been keeping him updated. I gave him an apologetic glance.
"Anyways, Go on up to the roof, I'm sure you'll like it." Finn flashed me a thumbs up and I made my way to the roof.
The first thing I saw was a large umbrella blocking the setting sun and under it two candles and another little note. Internally groaning, I leaned down and picked up the note.
Turn around so I can see how the Princess did.
Suddenly confused and slightly nervous I turned around and saw Marshall sitting behind the ladder, grinning so much that his canines were in full display.
"You… look amazing. Looks like the Princess actually has some taste." I had no idea what to say to that, nobody had ever done anything this special for me and nobody had ever complimented me without the wrong reasons.
"You're an idiot." I choked out. Marshall approached me with a smug smirk on his face.
"I do all this work, and all I get is called an idiot? I'm starting to think maybe you don't like me… C'mon now, reward me properly." I rolled my eyes and shook my head but I still hugged him tightly and kissed him, smiling beneath it.
"That's what I'm talking about." He said grinning again.
"Thanks… for this… It's definitely the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. And don't get too flattered not too many people do nice things for me." Marshall looked very distracted and didn't respond for long moment so I socked him in the arm.
"What? Oh. No problem babe. Anything for you…And sorry, I cannot get over how amazing you look." I rolled my eyes but still smiled. He was in a black vest with a white shirt underneath and a red tie, and had on black slacks. Again, we matched without even trying.
"So when is the food gonna get up here?"
"Hungry are we?" He asked snickering.
"Well, duh you had me running around all day!"
Marshall floated over to the stairs and whistled. Moments later Finn and Jake came up, both holding silver platters with silver lids. Jake was visibly shaking and Finn kicked him in the leg.
They set down the trays and Jake jumped back down the ladder while Finn stayed behind for a moment later and winked at me.
"So, let's eat!"
We ate a variety of red foods including, spaghetti, red jell-o, and a strawberry/cherry mix.
"So…" Marshall said when we finished. "Am I completely forgiven now?" He smirked.
I winked at him and instead of answering, pulled him into a heated kiss.
I played him a familiar line, dripping with sarcasm.
"How come all of our serious conversations end in make-out sessions?"
He grinned and started floating horizontally, he then pulled me into his lap even though I could float myself and pulled me down to meet his lips. I felt the wind rushing around us as he pulled me higher into the air, above the clouds, and closer to the stars that were starting to pepper the skies.
He pulled away long enough to stare into my eyes.
"I love you." He whispered.
AN:/ ERMAGERD THE FEELS. Anyways on a totally unrelated note I am becoming increasing obsessed with Lauren Hoffmans~ Broken THAT SONG IS AMAZING. And becoming obsessed with Ed sheeran... They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator ;3 You cheeky bastard. (Kidding) OKAY SO ON A RELATED NOTE!
