As Fionna walked to Marshall's house, she found herself thinking too much. Gumball having to be "executed"? Doesn't really add up...It must have just been in her head but it still stuck in the back of her mind, constantly reminding her what was going to happen in a month. She had been going to Marshall's to tell him of the news and only that. No more distractions and staying the night in his bed. As she approached the dark cave, she turned on the flash light of her phone, not being able to see anything in the late hours of the night. Once she had gotten into the cave, she looked up to the noise of his front door closing. The two made eye contact and Marshall smiled.
"Well look who it is." he locked the door and slowly walked down his front porch steps to greet his favorite adventuress.
"Marshall, we need to talk." Fionna told him with a serious voice.
"Why don't we talk on the way to a party? Apparently some prisoners of the Candy Kingdom escaped and are throwing a party in the woods. Its going to be freaky nasty." he stopped in front of her and gave her that smirk that fits his mouth perfectly.
Fionna thought for a few seconds. The party sounded dangerous but then again hanging out with the Vampire King was dangerous in itself. Might as well have one last normal night with her friend before everything begins to change.
"Shall we?" Fionna held out her arm, waiting for him to take it and walk.
"Yes, we shall." Marshall looked as if to take her arm but quickly scooped her into his arms.
Fionna giggled and hung her arms around his neck like they used to.
As the two walked through the party, Fionna couldn't help but lightly blush at the light pressure being applied to her lower back by Marshall's hand. His hand would occasionally graze under her shirt to touch the dimples of her lower back. She enjoyed the sensation of his hand casually resting there, as if giving her protection.
"Here we go!" Marshall said.
Fionna looked up at him to see what he meant. She followed his eyes to a group of at least 15 people sitting together and talking. He had a smile on his face as they walked over to the group. As soon as they approached them, they all chimed in with a welcome for Marshall.
"No fucking way! Is that fucking Marshall Lee?! Holy shit!" one very attractive male stood up and went over to hug Marshall.
Upon further inspection, Fionna had seen by the bite marks that whoever this was he was also a vampire. After looking around the group she had realized they all were vampires.
"Is this her?" the attractive vampire looked at Fionna and back at Marshall. Marshall nodded and smiled as the other vampire knelt down to Fionna. "Miss Fionna, it's a pleasure to actually put a face to someone I've been hearing of for a few months now. I'm Alex." Alex continued to stay on one of his knees and took Fionna's hand in his and gave her a light kiss on the top of her hand.
Fionna blushed and giggled at his actions and looked to Marshall who was holding back a laugh. Alex stood and put his hand to her back to bring her to sit by him. Fionna sat in a patio chair by Alex and looked over to Marshall who was across from them, already talking with a few of his friends.
Fionna looked away from Marshall and looked at Alex who was watching her with a smile. She immediately became transfixed with eyes and couldn't help but wonder. He was so distractingly beautiful.
"Your eyes...how is that possible with you being a vampire?" Fionna said with amazement at his pale blue-gray iris' that had spots of light amber mixed in that paired beautifully with his messy blonde hair.
Alex smiled. "My mother was human, like yourself, but my father was a vampire. I know of a few people with my same condition although it isn't only the eyes. Some vampires can have normal skin and not the dead, grayish tint. Unfortunately I am stuck with that." he explained.
Fionna thought to herself of Alex's parents. If Marshall and I had children they'd be just as beaitful...wait, no I'm not thinking of having a child with Marshall Lee...ha ha. "Interesting...so how come Marshall has red eyes? He was once human but since he was turned shouldn't he have his old eye color?" Fionna asked, looking over to Marshall.
"It's a bit complicated but it has to do with the process the vampire chose for his death. Sometimes old human characteristics can be present after being turned but things like eye color are taken over by new genes so quick. It's quite scientific now that I'm thinking about it." Alex thought after his explanation.
As Fionna looked around at the vampires in her current presence, she wondered why they were so attractive. "Why are all vampires so beautiful...I mean I'm just looking at all of you and...wow." Fionna couldn't help but be amazed.
"Oh there are some ugly vampires, trust me." Alex stood and laughed with Fionna. "Would you like a drink Miss Fionna the Human?"
"Yes, thank you." she smiled at Alex as he walked over to Marshall and whispered something before walking over to a cooler.
Alex came back with a large glass of what looked to be Coke. "You look like a rum and Coke kind of gal." Alex handed her the drink and opened a beer himself.
Fionna rolled her eyes and took a sip of the mixed drink. Immediately after the swallow, she could feel the liquid burn down into her stomach and settle with warmth. "Is that vanilla Coke?" Fionna asked after taking another sip.
"Mhm. I'm surprised thats the only thing you point out after taking a sip of a very strong rum and Coke." Alex laughed and finished off his beer in two more large sips.
Fionna laughed as well and continued to drink. Tonight was going to be fun.
Two Hours Later
"Ok, ok! Everyone listen up!" a gorgeous vampire stood in the group and spoke loudly. "I think its time to channel our inner prepubescent teenage selves and play some stupid drinking game. We've got: Never Have I Ever, Spin the Bottle...um...maybe I'm drunk but thats all I can think of haha." the group laughed and she sat back down.
"I vote Spin the Bottle, its more of a classic than Never Have I Ever." Alex spoke loudly to the group.
Half of everyone nodded while someone argued against the choice. "Come on Alex, just because its a classic doesn't mean we get more drunk. I want a shot game like Never Have I Ever to get me more drunk and not horny."
"Touché." Alex pointed his beer at him and thought for a little.
"Why not both? Spin the Bottle first and we'll play until everyone has kissed each other and we get this big fucking disgusting orgy over with and then a quick game of Never Have I Ever with a certain amount of shots to be taken." Marshall finished saying, earning yeses from everyone.
"Alright well lets get arranged and get to gettin'!" Alex said and a few people moved to get better spots.
Fionna found herself next to an empty seat and Alex. Without much surprise, Marshall took the open seat and smiled at his human friend. Fionna rolled her eyes and took a sip of her drink, knowing this was going to end with her kissing both of these very attractive vampires.
"Fionna, hand me that bottle." someone asked her, pointing to an empty bottle behind her.
She stood to grab it, feeling how tipsy she actually was. She hadn't realized it while sitting so it came as a surprise once she stood. After handing the glass to the 'spinner', she sat back down with a nervous heart beat.
"Alright, only rule is kiss the person to your left. Begin!" the person spinning the bottle twisted their hand around and everyone carefully watched as the bottle spun, slowing down to the opposite side of Fionna.
She was relieved to watch the bottle point towards one of the prettiest female vampires there. The girl turned to her left and began to make out with the other vampire next to her that had also been a girl. The group riled them up and cheered as they kissed.
"Woohoo!" Marshall called with everyone else.
Fionna gasped and playfully nudged his arm making him laugh. Soon the two girls were finished and the bottle was spinning once more. A few more people went and extra spins had to be made to make sure no one went twice. Soon it was spinning slowly and Fionna crossed her fingers for it not to land on her. Don't land on me, don't land on me!
"Fionna!" the spinner called out and Fionna's heart pounded.
She looked over to her left which was Alex and he was jokingly pursing his lips. She giggled and leaned in with him, gaining yells from the group. She smiled just before their lips touched and once they finally did, Fionna didn't want to stop. Alex was such a good kisser that they didn't have just one kiss but multiple. Girls from the group started to whistle at them and Fionna couldn't help but smile, eventually breaking the kiss.
"Damn, forgot how it felt to kiss a human." Alex said to the group while dragging his index finger across his bottom lip.
Fionna shifted in her seat and blushed after realizing her previous action. She couldn't help but giggle at herself as the bottle began to spin again. She took one last big gulp of her rum and vanilla Coke before watching the bottle slow down onto someone else. She was halfway through embarrassing kisses and was hoping to have it end soon.
"Good job, you just kissed one of the hardest vampires to kiss." Marshall whispered in Fionna's ear.
Fionna looked at him confused. What was that supposed to mean. Marshall picked up on her confused faced and explained.
"Girls go crazy for him but he hates it when people only want him for his looks. He hardly ever finds a girl and when he does its basically monumental for us to see. Congrats on probably being the first girl to have ever kissed Alex without a reason." Marshall continued to lean over to her and whisper.
"No way...really?" Fionna asked. Marshall nodded and Fionna giggled at herself. "And what about you Mr. Vampire-King-probably-gets-any-girl-he-looks-at?" Fionna joked.
"See I don't d–" Marshall was interrupted by the spinner calling out his name.
Marshall looked over at the bottle which was pointing his way. "Quit whispering and get to kissing." the group started making kissing noises and faces.
"Ok, ok.." Marshall held up a hand to get them to stop.
He turned to Fionna who was struggling to keep her eyes on him for 5 seconds at a time. He gave her a smirk that got her to look at his lips and the fang that was still caught on his bottom lip. Taking the opportunity, he quickly ducked his head to reach her lips and pressed his to hers. Fionna gasped into the kiss but shut her eyes as he brought a hand to her cheek. He wrapped his fingers behind her neck letting his thumb rest on her jaw line. Pulling gently, he brought her closer to him. As they came apart and back together again, she allowed his tongue entry and the hairs on her arms stood up in excitement. He could taste her lips and smell her blood. She was so sweet with a faint taste of vanilla and alcohol. She couldn't help but entangle her fingers in his hair and let her other hand move to his back, eventually roughly scratching at his shoulders. As he massaged his thumb against her cheek bone, Fionna moaned into every kiss, feeling sensations that had been missing.
"Holy shit." one person from the group said as the cheering and whistling had stopped after a few seconds of their first few kisses.
Everyone continued to watch as they made out with reckless abandon. Fionna would arch her back and lean into Marshall while still trying to stay sitting in her seat. Someone coughed, trying to get their attention. Somehow Marshall came back into reality and opened his half lidded eyes while still kissing her. He gently slowed down and eventually came away from her lips while still holding his head close to hers. Fionna bit her lip and opened her eyes.
"Fuck." she cursed under her breath after experiencing some feeling of loneliness even after that.
Marshall let his hand fall from her face and he took her wrist in his hands to pull her off of him. They both silently went back to friends sitting next to each other and the group was more riled up than for the two girls kissing earlier. Fionna looked down and giggled to herself while biting her bottom lip. Marshall wasn't laughing but rather thinking. He clenched his jaw while remembering Fionna had a boyfriend...not knowing she in fact had a fiancé. Everyone started to quiet down and a few more people went, ending the game.
"Looks like its time for Never Have I Ever!" Alex announced.
"I think I want to head home." Fionna leaned into Marshall's ear and whispered to him.
He nodded and stood. "Unfortunately, we have lives and have to go home to actually sleep." Marshall told the group.
Everyone groaned and made frowny faces. Alex stood to say goodbye. "Marshall we need to hang out more often, its fucking brutal in the Nightosphere without you...and definitely without you." Alex smiled at Fionna and kissed her cheek and gave her a wink. Fionna blushed and smiled back at him. The two said their goodbyes and started to walk through the party to go home.
"Marshall, we need to talk soon." Fionna said as her and Marshall stood at the tree house door.
"Fi, I'm really starting to like you." Marshall spoke quietly.
"Wait, what? No, no, you can't...its-but-no!" she thought of Gumball. Marshall doesn't get how impossible this is.
"I know you and Gumball are together but I really like you and I want to act upon my likes...you know?" this was the first time Fionna had seen Marshall like this.
Fionna didn't know what to say, if there even was anything to say. She hated the fact that he had left as she had mutual feelings. It couldn't be worse timing. Fionna began to open the tree house door. As she was halfway through and about to say goodbye, Marshall grabbed her wrist and pulled her back outside.
"Marshall...please." Fionna wanted it to happen but begged him not to.
Not letting her say anything more, Marshall pressed his lips to hers, sending vibrations off of Fionna's skin. She hated how he made her feel. It was the one thing she lacked in her relationship with Gumball. Marshall's arms wrapped around her back and pulled her feet a few centimeters off the ground. She reciprocated her lips and tongue with his motions and fell in love with the way he kissed her. Everything was passionate and felt good. She felt envious of every girl before her that had the pleasure of Marshall Lee at their finger tips.
"I...should...go...in...side." Fionna talked between kisses, leaving her head weightless with lust.
Marshall gave her one last kiss, lightly biting her bottom lip. She looked up at him, panting. He let her go and watched her walk into the house. Fionna quickly shut the door and put her back to it, exhaling deeply. What the fuck have you got yourself into?! Kissing Marshall Lee?! For fucks sake you're getting married in a MONTH. Fionna's self conscious was right. This was a big mess. Glob...
Authors Note: :O Oh my glob. Fi, my dear, you are already in too deep. Ok so maybe I just wanted to get to some juicy kissing and such because I mean, come on, don't we all. Although that kind of screws things up with Gumball who still has no clue Fionna is slowly re-falling for her best friend. Yikes! Fionna has a lot on her plate. Also-for the new character 'Alex' you can picture him as whoever but I pictured him as Sam Clafin. He's super attractive with blonde hair and thats who I thought of. Here's a link you can copy and paste to see what I mean static1. static/f/1295769/24996384/1402004604043/Photo+mag+ ?token=UMbkaUmGYNMx024PnTbEltmQP4o%3D I hope you enjoyed this playful chapter and I will try my best to update on vacation though it may not be consistent. Thanks for reading and see you in the next chapter!
