Alone
Chapter 6
The Truth
Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake. I do own the story/plot line because I made that all up with me, myself and I.
I ran to Marshall's house, tripping over tree roots. But I don't care my one priority right now is getting to Marshall. It all makes sense now, how could I have not seen it earlier? He's always there for me. He was there when I was bummed about Cake spending more time with Lord M. He was there to wipe the tears away when PG constantly broke my heart. He was there to pick me up and set me straight. He made me see me the way he sees me. Beautiful. Proud. Kind. Loyal. A warrior. And he's been in love with me all this time. How could I have been so oblivious to it? Especially since I've always loved him that way but gave it up because I thought nothing romantic would ever happen between us. I guess that I was wrong. So wrong. And because of my not telling him my real feelings, I may not get the chance at what could be.
"Marshall?!" I yell as I run up his porch steps.
He opens the door lazily, "Glob, Fi, do you mind? Trying to sleep here." he said groggily.
I blushed in embarrassment, "Oh, I'm sorry I just wanted to know if you saw the paper yet. You know the one with the story about me." I asked him.
He paused in swiping a hand over his face, "Oh? That one? Nah, I don't read the paper Fi." he said with a lazy chuckle.
I tried really hard not to let the disappointment on my face with a nervous laugh.
"Oh. Um, well. Here, please read it." I asked him holding the paper out for him to take it.
He raised an eyebrow at me in skepticism but said nothing as he took the paper.
"Alright, how about you come in while I read this. Or would you prefer standing out there like a goon?" he asked me with an amused smile. I rolled my eyes at him and followed him into the house.
He started to float lazily as he read while I sat on the couch trying not to panic or anything. Biting my nails with the wait. Ugh! Pull yourself together Fionna! You're acting like such a girl right now! You fight demons and monsters for Christ's sake, you shouldn't be afraid of what Marshall has to say! I tell myself as I mentally slap some sense into me. When Marshall's done he rubs the back of his neck and sighs.
Wow." was all he said.
"Wow? T-That's it?" I asked doubtful.
He shrugged, "What do you want me to say, Fi?" "I want you to tell me the truth, Marshall. Is it true, what Sally wrote. Do you have a secret love for me?" I asked him as sincerely as I can get.
He sighed, "Fi." I slouched.
That tone of voice. I hate that tone. The one that lets you know the opposite of what you want to know and he's trying to be nice about it to spare your feelings but unknowingly crushing your heart even more.
"Oh. I-I get it." I said quietly.
But before I could leave my lips are pressed against his in a gentle yet fierce kiss. When he pulls away he pulls some of my breath with him.
"Every word, Fi. It's true, I'm in love with you. But there is so much more to it than that. You make me warm again. You have no idea how long I've gone frozen. You make my un-dead heart flutter again when I thought that it was gone for good. I love you, Fionna. I always have and always will. And I'll be here for you, if you'll have me." He confessed, his forehead to my forehead.
I reached up and pulled his lips down to me for a kiss giving him my answer. "I love you too, Marshall Lee. It just took me awhile to realize it." and for the first time Marshall Lee Abandeer The Vampire King smiled.
Writing this story was really fun and I hope you all loved it as much as I do writing it. I am honored by all my fans for supporting me in writing this and those who kept motivating me to get this done. Thank you all for your love and support, it really means a lot to me. Now, on to the next story.
