A/N: Fluff? Hell yes. Fluff will be had in this chapter. Enjoy it. More will happen in future chapters. A lot more.

The vampire hissed, making Finn flinch and a terror rise in his chest.

"Wait!" Finn said. "Wait. Hear me out."

The vampire hissed again, obviously saying no.

In a flash, he had transformed from a humanoid into a growling wolf with sharp, menacing teeth, a snow-white and grey pelt, and sharp, ruby-red eyes.

Finn stared in awe at the beautiful creature before him - and he was caught off guard for a second too long.

The vampire pounced on him. Finn had no time to react - he had only started to pull the sword our of his bag when he was jumped on by the wolf. His sword flew across the attic floor, skittering as it went.

Finn saw the vampire's jaw only inches above his neck, felt the hot air of it's breath, and heard the snarling of it anticipating it's next kill. Finn shrieked - he was in trouble. Thinking quickly, he channeled all of his energy into his legs and, with another loud yell, succeeded in kicking the vampire off him and send him across the other side of the attic.

The vampire whimpered.

Finn did a backwards roll, and fluidly transitioned into a standing and then running position, his eyes searching and quickly finding his sword. He slid to it and picked it up, brandishing it in both hands. His expression changed from horrified to grinning, and then he said, "that was cheap. Try taking me on when I have a fair chance, at least." He breathed heavily from the adrenaline and then lunged after the vampire - and he swore that for only a second the expression on it's wolf face said it was worried.

"Gat away from my fort!" said Finn, punctuating the last word with a jab. "Who are you? Why are you here? How did you get here?"

Each one of Finn's attacks were met with the vampire's teeth and claws deflecting them.

Finn swiped at the vampire, and contacted the top of its ear. It yelped and sprang back, blood pouring from the nick.

It transformed back into a humanoid form before Finn had a chance to attack again. Using its hand to put pressure on its ear, the vampire said, "Stop! Let's talk."

It was only at this point, where the vampire started to talk, that Finn realised he was just like any other thing on this planet; scared and searching for their own meaning. Finn had found his own - an adventurer, a force against evil. But maybe this vampire just hadn't found his.

He picked his words carefully. "Okay... we can talk. But I'll ask the questions."

The vampire nodded. "Okay."

"First off... what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm just a traveller passing by."

"How did you find my tree fort?"

"The same way I'm sure you found it. Just exploring."

"Where do you come from?"

"Aaa."

Finn felt a sharp intake of breath enter his lungs. So Aaa really did exist. "...is your name... Marshall Lee?"

The vampire hissed, then winced at the pain at his ear. "How did you know that? Who are you?"

"I'll do the questioning here." When Marshall Lee had winced like that, Finn had felt a twang of guilt in his stomach. He was just like everyone else. "And you're a vampire, aren't you?"

Marshall hissed in indignation. "How dare you sterotype me to be that scum! I'm a hybrid; a vampire-demon. Do I really look like just a vampire to you?"

Finn ignored him. "How did you get here?"

"That doesn't matter."

"Tell me."

Marshall Lee gestured to his feet. "I can float. I traveled across the ocean. I wanted some adventure and I was hoping to find an uninhabited continent so I could start a new life away from the Ice Queen and Fionna and everybody else. But instead? Instead, I found a hostile land with hostile people. Just my luck." He spat on the ground bitterly and winced at his ear once more.

Finn listened to all of this carefully. He was beginning to feel sorry for Marshall Lee. "How long have you been rapping for?"

"What?"

"Just asking."

Marshall Lee was very confused. What is this boy trying to do? Get inside my head? He thought. By now, he wasn't thinking straight, because of his blood loss from his ear. He decided to answer, light-headed. "I've been... rapping for... uhh..."

And then everything went black. Drifting into unconsciousness, the last thing Marshall heard was a gasp from Finn and a call to "Jake"... whoever that was.

"M-marshall?" A voice cut through the calm of the darkness inside his mind. "Are you okay?"

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

A heart rate monitor.

Ugh... what happened to me?

Marshall groggily came to his senses, the darkness at the edge of his vision slowly receding.

Oh... oh yeah... my ear...

He tentatively put his left hand to his left ear. It came into contact with stitches.

"Marshall... please don't touch the stitches too much. It'll make them loose."

Marshall opened his eyes. Hovering a few inches above him was a person with a hat with animal ears. "Fionna?"

The person shook their head. "Finn. It's Finn. Are you alright?"

Marshall groaned and remembered what had happened. He tiredly asked, "What... what happened?"

"You fainted. Because of me... I took you straight to Doctor Princess. You've been out for almost a day." Marshall noticed Doctor Princess across the room and she quickly waved, then after making sure he was fine, left the room. "Blood loss, according to Doctor Princess," Finn continued. "She said that you might have even died if I hadn't brought you here quicker.

Marshall noticed Finn's puffy eyes and tear-stained face. "Were you... crying?" he asked.

Finn blushed. "Maybe."

"What? You've only just met me. I mean nothing to you."

"When I realised you were just like anybody else, I felt bad for hurting you. I want to be a force of good, and not evil. You're not evil."

Marshall smiled. "Thanks. I appreciate you not leaving me to die."

Finn chuckled softly.

Marshall noticed a drying, but wet spot on his cheek. He put his fingers to where the spot was and Finn turned a deep shade of violet. "Huh? What's this? It's wet..."

"I... um..." Finn shuffled awkwardly on the spot.

Marshall gasped as he realised. "You... you kissed me, didn't you?" He stared at Finn in amazement.

Finn coughed. "M-maybe..." he blushed even darker.

"...come closer," Marshall said quietly.

Finn did so, petrified that he'd done something wrong and freaked the vampire out.

But then, Marshall propped himself up on his elbows and then passionately kissed the boy on the lips.

The kiss was magical - Finn felt like the world had stopped. They didn't stop kissing until they had both run out of breath.

After the kiss broke, Finn was stunned into silence. Marshall gave the sign of the horns, winked and stuck his tongue out. "Peace," he said.

With nothing more to say, Finn left the room, completely overcome by what had just happened between the two.
