"I can't believe you were actually serious!" Gumball marveled staring at the pale sand sliding between his toes, warm for the temperature which was steadily rising as the sun rose and Marshall smiled. He had set up their large beach blanket, some food, and a large umbrella and Marshall's special sun screen.

"Come on, baby. When aren't I serious?" Marshall asked before struggling with his sweatshirt and jeans. Gumball, who had his back to the vampire, had truly no idea the vampire behind him was disrobing quicker than last night. "Now come on! Let's swim!"

Gumball turned around looking at his boyfriend only to feel his face burn a bright red at Marshall's cutely grinning face. "Marshall Lee when the hell did you take your clothes off?!" He demanded staring at his boyfriend in a faint wave of awe before he looked away before staring long.

"Just now~ Come on, I'mma get my sunscreen on and we'll swim together!" Marshall chirped sweetly, ever bit the innocent boy he was trying to portray. Gumball took a look at him shyly through his fingers, which he'd covered his eyes with and marveled just a moment at Marshall's body.

Now, Marshall was a twig like his clothes could be lead to portray, but he wasn't completely ripped with muscles. His arms and body were smooth, almost thin, but he could see the muscles that held unimaginable strength and Marshall did have a little four pack going for him but nothing defined. Gumball felt like a squish gummy worm compared to Marshall and he blushed at the prospect of taking the borrowed sweat pants and shirt in public, though the beach was clearly private as they were the only ones there but still. It's public.

"Marshall, how is it you undress so easily in public?" Gumball asked with a sigh when Marshall grinned planting his hands on his hips proudly. He blushed dropping his hands finally and sighed out staring at his rather proud looking boyfriend. "It's public and anyone can see."

"Come on, baby. We're spending the whole day here! I'll have to remember to keep applying the sunscreen but it should last four hours every use right?" Marshall asked tilting his head when Gumball nodded and he smiled widely. "Then we're good! We'll go home around five, so since it's twelve now, it's gonna be five fun hours!"

"And you swear no one else is here?" Gumball asked with his blush staining his cheeks still, staring at Marshall then at the sand when the vampire smiled, rubbing his chest and stomach with the sunscreen then his arms making sure it covered everything and bent squirting more of the sunscreen in his palm and rubbed it up and down each of his legs carefully and then stood up holding the bottle out of Gumball smiling.

"I'm positive, baby. Now, come and put this on my back like we're in some bad girl on girl porno!" Marshall chirped happily turning when Gumball took the bottle sighing but smiled widely shaking his head. He shivered when the cool cream was slathered on his back good, no spot was missed and he then turned the bottle after a moment then squirted some on his fingers and coated his face just as good as the rest of his body. It took a few moments for it to soak into his skin, as that was what it was designed for.

"You're something else, Marshall Lee." Gumball sighed but smiled still staring at the vampire who grinned. "I noticed you've started calling me 'baby' rather than Bubs now." The vampire looked at him curiously and cocked his head to the side almost like a puppy.

"Does it bother you? You didn't seem to care for the whole Bubs nickname so I resorted to that. It feels right too since you are my baby after all~" Marshall playfully replied reaching out to lightly stroke Gumball's cheek with the back of his fingers and the pink prince smiled. "So, take your clothes off and let's go swim, 'kay?"

"Okay!" Determination filled Gumball's voice as he stared at the vampire then pulled the hoodie up and over his head putting it on the towel to avoid getting sand on it. He felt the warmth hitting his skin instantly and enjoyed it immensely when he got to the sweats, looked at Marshall who nodded encouragingly, and pushed them off.

"How the hell did I know they'd be pink?" Marshall asked looking at Gumball with a soft laugh reaching out as the rest of the sunscreen eventually soaked into his skin. It was both a quick and short progress, as Marshall only put the stuff on when he wanted to bring Gumball on a date like today, so it was a bit irritating to put it on. He did feel grateful that for the next four hours he'd be able to swim and play and then one hour under the umbrella until the sun.

"Shut up," Gumball mumbled but smiled when he was tugged close to the vampire, his skin soft as an effect of the sunscreen and he smiled. He created the sun screen specifically for Marshall, so that the vampire could go out during the day, but he barely used it unlike days like these when he didn't want ot drink his "drink" before leaving the house. "At least you're not naked."

"You wish!" Marshall got out squeezing the pink prince gently then wiggled his eye brows."You up for some swimming and work off those 'calories' you always whine about?"

"They are a real thing, Marshall! I have to watch my calorie intake and work them off so I can stay slim!" Gumball protested when his cheek was pressing against Marshall's chest tight and he grinned playfully. "You're just gifted with a fast metabolism, when you bother eating, and if not you only drink red colors so what do you have to worry about?"

Marshall snorted then pulled, spinning the prince, out of the hug and ruffled his pink hair. "Come on, you nerd!" He cheerfully prodded, rushing to the water, the sun warm on his skin thanks to the sunscreen and it was pleasant. It felt more like stepping into a warm bath rather than painfully scalding.

"I'll show you who the nerd is!" Gumball shouted back rushing after the vampire who was laughing cheerfully as he ran into the water surging up to his knees and dunked under the water just as Gumball's toes hit the water.

"It's so cool swimming at night!" Gumball all but squealed as he spun lightly, grinning widely looking down at the dark water and how clear it was. How his pink skin glowed in the dark water and Marshall smirked at him, his scarlet eyes glimmering wickedly and happily. Happily wicked? He wasn't sure but his hair slid back against his face, the water was still warm despite the cool chill of night time.

"I know, it's super cool! I can't believe you've never gone night swimming!" Marshall replied, his hair also dripping wet when that wicked gleam seemed to overbear the happiness in his eyes. "I bet there's something else you haven't done, Bubs."

Gumball looked up from his body in the water and looked at Marshall only to blush fiercely at how close his boyfriend had gotten to him so noiselessly. "Um, what else?" He finally got out but his stomach tightened, it seemed, and squirmed like he'd just dropped from a rather high height. His heart picked up, not fast, but thumping audibly and even physically against his ribs, nearly making his skin just above his heart pulse with each beat.

Marshall reached out grabbing his waist pulling him closer and smiled laying his hand over his heart enjoying the thumping against his finger tips. "Damn, Bubs. I've barely touched you and there goes that heart of yours." He remarked leaning in and pressing a soft kiss to the fluttering pulse in Gumball's neck and the prince nearly fainted, he swore, from how hard his heart thumped and the strange electricity of touches, harmless as they were.

"Marshall, let's go home!" Gumball got out in a whisper when he yelped at how he was spun and lifted up, his legs wrapping instinctively around Marshall as the vampire sloshed out of hte water with Gumball. "Marshall! I'm being serious!"

"You know, Bubs, I bet I know what you haven't done before." Marshall repeated his earlier words, grinning widely at the prince as he walked up on the sand and towards their towel. He found it curious how hard Gumball's heart was beating, when he'd barely touched the prince and tilted his head. "Your heart. Are you alright, Bubs?"

"No!" He hissed at Marshall desperately, it seemed, when he was put on the blanket, Marshall pushing him to lay and then laid out on top of him. "Marshall, I don't do sex outside! Someone can see and it'd be like a scandal to the Candy people! How do you think it'd reflect on me if they knew their ruler was having sex with the vampire king on a beach?!"

Ah. So that's what was bothering him. "It's okay, Bubs." Marshall soothed stroking a few locks of pink hair from Gumball's face gently. "No one's here, just you and I. No one but us two."

"Marshall!" He squirmed staring up at his boyfriend and jerked at the soft touche of Marshall's finger casually circling his right nipple, pushing on the nub like it was a door knob and it sent little jolts of electricity to his groin. "Please, let's just go home."

"Come on, baby. Let's make this a first of ours!" Marshall got out looking at Gumball from under his lashes, a look he'd mastered and knew worked on the Prince. "Say no, baby. Even if it's not sex I can do something even better."

"Are-Are you saying that you'll-" He got out when Marshall grinned at him nodded at him looking rather happy, strangely, and Gumball stared up at him. "And I-I can say no?"

"Of course, baby! I won't push you to do something you don't want to do!" Marshall rushed to assure the prince, staring at his boyfriend in surprise. "If you say no then it ends right now. I won't push you to do this, I'll take you home and we'll do it there if you want."

Gumball felt a rather strange surge in his chest, heat searing his veins with a desperate edge flooding his chest and he whined loudly with Marshall's surprise becoming confusion. He opened his mouth to speak but Gumball reached up twisting his fingers in the black locks of hair and clung to him, pressing his lips against Marshall's in a deep kiss. He felt it took a few moments for the vampire to response. And when he did, he did so with a low growl as his fingers dug into his hips and yanked him closer, moving between his legs, and rolled his hips in a circle motion down against the prince's making a raw, rather loud moan leave his throat when they separated.

"Do you have one?" Gumball asked staring up at his boyfriend who smiled sheepishly, like a little boy getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He shifted to his knees dragging the beach bag over and reached inside pulling out the familiar box and lube.

"I'll have to buy more after this one." Marshall replied thoughtfully pulling out the last condom, tossing the empty box in the bag. He pushed his swimming shorts down to his mid thighs and sat, crossing his legs, and tugged Gumball up to his knees and tugged at the brim of his pants. "Take'em off."

Gumball did so, without being told twice even, and he watched Marshall do the regular routine of opening the condom with his teeth and roll the slippery thing onto his erection then apply a coat of lube. He squeaked when the familiar two fingers slid inside him, unaware of when one of his hands became free and he whined loudly looking at Marshall. Why? Why was he so desperate? What was the switch? What was the cause? Was it a simple question? No. No it wasn't the question, this surged up from...from something. Some cause and he took a breath when he was yanked onto Marshall's lap.

He felt the fingers slid out of him with a rather slick sound and he whimpered when he was pulled onto Marshall's lap. He gritted his teeth lightly when he slid in easily enough, the scratchy feel of the condom something he was both accustomed to but did not like even with the lube. He then looked at Marshall grinning when he curled his arms around his shoulders and gave him a deep, but rather plain, kiss as they were the type to really french during sex a lot of the time.

"Did you plan this?" Gumball asked raising a brow when Marshall smiled that same little boy smile. "You did. Of course you d-id!" He squeaked in between speaking when Marshall gave a sudden thrust and he scowled. "Don't do that!"

"Then stop talking if you know the answer." Marshall retorted with a smile, his eyes as dark as the ruby ring on Gumball's finger and the pink prince sighed then smiled a soft pulled into another kiss, clinging to the vampire tightly and rocked his hips downwards, temporarily forgetting where they were, why they shouldn't be doing it, and he clung to Marshall tighter and tighter. Like he could physically keep the male with him.
