The next morning, Fionna stretched. Her hands came against something she didn't expect. Marshall's chest.
She sat up slowly, groaning. Marshall still slept on; a smile lingering on his lips. She glanced at herself, taking in her naked form with a small growl of frustration. Same flabby tummy. Rolls of "baby" fat. She pinched them, willing them away.
"Hold on there, cowgirl." Two hands snaked around her chest and pulled Fionna back next to him. "No negative thoughts until we've had lunch." She giggled as he tickled her neck with his tongue.
"Why is that?"
He thought for a moment, hands lacing behind her back. Finally, he smiled and kissed her.
"That's why."
She giggled again and rolled over to face him. He tightened his hold on the human girl as she wove her arms around his neck. "How about we stay here, hm? Just me and you." Pulling her leg over his, the vampire lowered his head to her chest, worrying the skin. She gasped, cheeks flaming red.
"M-marshall…" A small grin and then, sighing, he brought his face back to hers. Marshall chuckled at her red cheeks.
"Fine, we'll stop….for now…."
In another part of the castle, Marceline wandered with a smile on her face. Finally. All that UST was making me sick
She floated on, humming to herself and trailing a hand on the walls. As she turned a corner, she heard a husky voice singing something softly. Marceline turned shadow and watched.
So I look in your direction,
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me,
'Cause you say you see straight through me,
Don't you?
Gumball walked around the corner, glaring at the floor. He stopped to lean against the wall where Marceline was hiding.
Shoot shoot shoot…
Sighing, the candy prince slid to the floor, his head resting on his knees. He murmured something under his breath. Marceline unintentionally leaned closer to hear.
"Marceline….
Do you even know me?
If you did I wish you'd show
Cause I'd sure love to know it
What kind of boy can't look a girl in the eyes
And ask her to compromise
Can't you tell that I love you,
I'd shout it to the world to prove you.
Marceline,
Why did you break my heart?
It's cold now,
I can't get it to restart-
Agh, that was stupid. Heart? Restart? Weak, man…" Gumball slapped his forehead angrily. "Why can't I just tell her…"
Marceline quietly slipped away, her cold heart palpitating with a new feeling.
