At the break of dawn our pink princess had woken up from her beauty sleep. However when she tried moving she felt a tug on her body. Turning over she noticed pale gray arms wrapped around her body, and a cool face laying upon her shoulder. This beautiful creature had midnight black hair and a soft gentle face that was so inviting.
Bonnie had adjusted herself so she could look at her. Something in her heart fluttered when she admired the queen. Her face looked so innocent, so soft, and so childlike. Then she happened to glance upon her lips. Those lips were so inviting, just looking at them reminded the exchanges they shared the night before. She stopped for a moment, felt her lover breathe deeply, and then something pulled her to those lips once more. This time, her small fingers reached over, barely grazing the lips' surface. Her mouth was agape and her eyes focused, she never knew someone's lips could be so enticing. Suddenly she stopped, she felt a muscle move, and she became scared of waking her. Marceline's eyes shot open and looked up to Bonnie, then she grew a smirk on her face.
"Good morning Bonniebel".
Instantaneously Bonnie had turned to a bright red and felt an overwhelming embarrassment come over her. To help her special friend recover from the embarrassment Marceline scooted up on the bed and gave her a kiss on her forehead. Although it did help, Bonnie was still greatly embarrassed.
Waiting for a response Marceline said, "So, are you not going to tell me good morning?"
"G-good morning!"
At her loud welcome, Marceline smiled and gave out a giggle, this calmed Bonnie down and made her admire Marcy for the moment. No one could really make her that happy.
"You know, you getting all red and fluttery is making me hungry for breakfast."
"What do you want to eat, I'm sure I can get one of my ser-"
She was interrupted with a kiss. "May I take a nibble of you my princess?"
Still shocked, Bonnie nodded and let the vampire feed. She knew already that they only fed on color and not anything else. Besides, in what kind of crazy world would Vampires eat anything else?
After getting consent, Marceline sat them both up on the bed and began. She leaned in, took her time, and guided Bonnie to lean a bit back on the pillows to get comfortable. Then Marceline kissed the area on her neck where she planned to feed, this caused a sensation in Bonnie that she had never felt before. There was a slight pain when Marceline put her teeth in, and Bonnie winced at it.
While sucking the color from her skin Marceline made sure not to take too much or else Bubblegum would most likely be upset. When she finished she licked her lips a little and gave Bonnie a little kiss on her cheek.
"Thanks bubs, kinda needed that."
"N-no problem" Bubblegum had a face that looked as if she didn't know how to feel after a feeding like that.
On one hand she wanted to feel Marceline's warm lips and cool body on her once more, but she also knew she had to stay in control. Then the thought came to her that she would have to deal with much more in time, which enticed her, and made her slightly anxious.
There was a knock on the Princess' door. "Princess! Princess! Are you awake? We need to start planning again hurry please, this is urgent!"
Starting with a groan the monarch began to speak, "I know my daily tasks, I'm getting dressed as we speak, and please leave me for the time being."
"Yes m'lady".
Bubblegum made her way up to her vanity. Looking in the mirror she was shocked to how much paler she had gotten and quickly became angry with her vampire.
"MARCELINE! You drank way too much!"
Brushing it off Marceline replied casually "well I was hungry, don't you like to eat too?"
Deciding to ignore the comment Bonnie went searching though her vanity to find something to cover up the bite marks. She eventually decided on a blue choker necklace, very slim and fashionable.
"This will do for now... Gosh, Marcy next time can you please be more wary of what you do to me? I do have to deal with more people than you get to..." Then she mumbled quietly, "at this point I'm almost jealous of you".
Apparently their opinions of how much pink is good enough to drink were different.
Marceline heard every word she said and decided not to reply, instead she was focused on the pretty girl in the vanity mirror. Something made her drawn to her, she was looking at how she brushed her pink hair, how she applied her makeup (especially the lipstick), and how she grew more and more beautiful (not because of the makeup, but of all the little things she did). It was those little things that made Marceline want to be friends with her, it made her drawn to her princess.
"I'm not trying to push you out, but, what are you going to do today?"
Hesitant to reply, Marceline spoke with an indefinite answer. "Um, I kinda wanted to spend the day with you." Then the vampire shyly looked away to her hands laying in her lap.
"But I'm going to be quite busy all day, I mean you can stick around but it might be bore some to you, I don't think picking out colors is your favorite thing."
"Well, you're right it isn't but, I want to spend time with you, and I want to be helpful, so, my lovely princess-" Her voice changed to an almost sarcastic tone, "- may I have permission to accompany you this fine day?"
Catching on, Bonnie decided to reply in the same tone, "of course you can, as long as you remain helpful."
"I will don't worry."
Then the Princess continued getting dressed and getting after Marceline for trying to sneak a peek.
For the rest of Bubblegum's day was filled with tedious duties and the only thing keeping her motivated was her special friend keeping her bright and in a pleasant mood. Sometimes when people would become overbearing with a multitude of plans Marceline would make jokes about them to keep them wary from the princess for the time being. Bonnie was grateful for things like this because they allowed her to get a breather.
During lunch they went out to Bubblegum's candy garden to enjoy each other's company and take a break from the hectic schedule.
"Aren't you going to try that red drink I got you?"
Marceline stopped looking at Bonnie for the moment to respond to her. "Um, yea sure. Er, what kind of drink is this anyways?"
"It's something I've been working on recently, it's a drink that is supposed to be suitable for you feeding needs, it turns to water once you suck out all the red. Afterwards the water helps you ingest the red liquid and quenches your color thirst."
"It's not going to make me sick is it?"
"Oh, no no, I've already tested it many times on other color drinking animals."
"What really, well, I guess I'll try it for you Bub bubs."
Although Marceline knew that Bonnie was very clever when it came to science she was still hesitant to try the drink. She sucked the red slowly, Bonnie was so eager she began to lean in to see the results of her experiment.
"Wow, this is not even half bad, good job Bonnie."
"Thank you!" She let out a genuine smile. "I worked really hard on it, I've been practicing a perfect formula for many months now."
Seeing how much effort was put into it really made her feel much better about their relationship. But at that moment something came into her head. What exactly was their relationship? What were either of them expecting to get out of it? It's not like they were together together? Were they?
Are we a couple? What would people think of it anyways? I mean, I'm happy, she's happy what else can I ask for? But what are we?
She became more nervous the longer she dwelled on all the questions attacking her. She knew that they were both happy, but what next? Marceline didn't realize it but her face was showing how much she was thinking about this touchy subject. Bonniebel took notice quickly, then she reached over Bonnie placed her hand on her face to get her attention.
"Are you okay Marcy? Your equilibrium seems a bit off."
"No no I'm fine, I just blank out a bit Bubs."
"Okay, well, if you ever want to talk about something you should already know that I'm here."
"I know, don't worry too much about it."
This comforted Marceline on the subject a tad bit, however the subject stayed in the back of her head. They continued their lunch for a few more minutes only to return to royal planners.
During this time Marceline realized how different their kingdoms were, when she first got her coronation there was just a mob of people and casual clothing. However, with Bubblegum there was a guest list, a tight schedule, and plenty of candy flowers around. Sometimes Marcy even wondered how people could deal with so many colors. She heard the group of royal planners practically interrogating Bubblegum, apparently they were talking about pastels.
What even is a pastel? Is it some kind of food? Sometimes these people are ridiculous just go with some damn solid colors! Is it really that hard? Royal planners... pfft. What even *is* a royal planner? It seems like something someone thought up of just to carry a story along, so unoriginal. But in all seriousness they need to lay off *my* Bonnie.
Marceline could also sense how irritated Bonnibel had become because of all these questions. Just the look on her face made it seem like she was going to punch the next person who asked if she wanted 'cherry red' or 'blood orange'.
"Look, I've already stated many times what color palette I wanted, and what kind of flowers I wanted at each table."
"Yes but princess we need to figure out what color coordination you want."
"Excuse me, but why do you think I hired you all? Its because you're supposed to tell me what colors look the best. Yet here I am dealing with trivial questions that we all already know the answer to. Now if you would please do you actual job we will get much more done. If you need me, the queen and I will be in my quarters discussing guest issues"
Damn Bonnie, you're hot where you get assertive.
Marceline shot a smirk at the planners and floated away with the princess. Once they got into her bedroom Bubble gum let out a deep tiresome sigh and started to rub her temples.
"I really get tired of those people."
"Well that's people for you."
"I don't think people realize how drained I get when I'm around people for so long."
"Well why do you get like that? I really dont understand Bonnie, I mean, yea people are stupid and some are mean, but I like being around people. Just look at how many people come to my shows!"
"How can I explain this to you in a way you can understand... Its more of an energy draining thing. For example, if there was some obsessed fan at your show bombarding you with questions would you get tired?"
"Well yea, wouldn't anyone?"
"Yes, however with me, just being around people for too long makes me feel like that. I need my space, its not like I don't like people, I do, but it just drains me. And I need to recharge by having privacy."
"I think I get it."
"Thank you, it helps that you understand."
"But I have a question now... do you get drained by being around me?" Bonnie saw how concerned she looked and decided to find a nice way to make her feel better about being around her.
"Well Marcy, the only time you drain me is when you suck my pink out" Bonnie giggled a bit from remembering earlier. "But no, you dont, if anything, you're probably the only person who doesn't drain me. I feel much better by having you accompany me."
Marceline's face changed to a much happier expression. In gratitude she placed a kiss on the princess' cheek. Both of them exchanged genuine smiles and after a few more hours together Marceline floated on home. As she flew away some part of her started to feel more whole, it was as if Bubblegum had been the medicine to her illness.
