Laying out, the sheets cool against his skin and the pillow warm against his cheek, Gumball sighed as he rolled over to avoid a sharp stinging light that tried to get through his curtains and he sighed gently again. He moved a hand up rubbing his forehead softly before rubbing his hand down across his face and rested his palm over his mouth, his cheeks lightly flushed as he sat up slowly leaning back against the head board. He was used to the sex at night, he enjoyed it even, but it was always lonely waking up to the morning without Marshall even if he understood that the vampire couldn't be in the sun and had to return.
Gumball wished sometimes that he could just turn the sun off permanently so he could be with Marshall whenever possible. He sighed again letting his head fall back against the wall looking up at the ceiling before he straightened up slowly and he slid out of bed, the sheets tangled up and clinging to his waist and legs like stubborn tentacles. He kicked and pushed the blankets away walking across the room, the wind from the window caress his bare skin and he sighed walking to his bathroom. He entered the large, spacey room shutting the door and he walked across the length of the white bathroom to his shower turning it on and sat on the toilet letting his head fall back as he rubbed his neck softly and he shut his eyes softly, briefly. How long as it been? He and Marshall hung out back in...October? November? What if it started in January?
He wasn't sure, but something changed between the both of them over the past half a year, he and Marshall had been coming together sex wise and emotional wise and he had to admit that he'd been hoping for this to happen to them. For the past moths it'd been a dream for Gumball honestly; something he did, rather embarrassingly, used to dream about constantly, but now that it was realized for the both of them, Gumball felt like he was actually dreaming and that he'd wake up any moment now. He stood up stepping into the shower, the hot water instantly soothing over his strained back, neck and shoulders causing hi head to roll back then to the side groaning with how incredibly good it did feel.
He didn't reach for the soap yet, he just stood there enjoying the hot water sighing in happiness and content before he finally started to use the soap, slowly at first just letting his mind wonder when a loud crash from his room had him blinking and tensing a bit before finishing up quickly and turning the water off. He stepped out grabbing a towel to secure around his waist when a wave of nausea rolled over him surprisingly.
He was able to push it down tight for the moment as he toweled himself off and he walked forward, thankful Peppermint Maid left spare clothes in the bathroom, he stopped by the door pulling open a little cabinet pulling out a sweat shirt and sweat pants tightening the string and he looked at the bathroom apprehensively again before opening the door. He walked out of the bathroom, a the haziness of the steam following him, but his cautiousness immediately receded away as is lips tugged into a grin.
"Yo!" Fionna grinned brightly at Gumball, who raised a brow at the grinning female and he walked forward, his feet making soft little padding noises.
"What're you doing Fionna?" He asked raising his brow a bit more ignoring how his stomach was rolling around like he would be sick but also fluttered with a strange feeling. Sometimes when Fionna showed up it was always linked with a message from Marshall but also because he was happy to see Fionna anyhow, they were friends besides it was him who got her and Flame Prince together. Said blonde, jerked up surprising him a bit.
"How're ya doin'?" Fionna asked as she stood up off the bed as she grinned even still at Gumball.
"I'm fine. What're you up too? I thought you weren't allowed to really go adventuring and climbing up walls, through windows and into bedrooms," Gumball said with another raising of his brow and Fionna flushed with embarrassment and a bit of shame.
"Well I wanted to do it one last time, before I start to pop at least!" Fionna's blue eyes shined softly with determination, but it looked like...sadness to Gumball.
Yes, for the next eight months for Fionna, she wouldn't be able to run around for she was pregnant. It was a surprise to him and Marshall when she told the both of them with her wide, infectious grin, how she didn't seem worried in the slightest bit. Fionna hadn't really talked about having kids, being pregnant, settling down into a new life, being a mother or even wife to someone.
She always saved the princes' from the Ice Queen and went on wild adventures with her cat, Cake. But when she met Flame Prince she seemed to change in a way he saw and felt, how she became a little more docile and now that she was pregnant she hadn't truly talked about going on anymore adventures but she seemed sad about giving it up.
"I'm not supposed too but I just..." Fionna's grin slipped as her blue eyes looked down at the window sill with longing even as her hand stroked her belly which would expand in the coming months. Then her wide eyes flicked up to Gumball, a smile widening her lips again. "Do you wanna feel? I'm already getting a bump!" Then she grabbed his hand pressing it to her stomach, which now a soft faint but there, curve that made Gumball's eyes widen a bit, sure his violet eyes held a flicker of curiosity in them.
"Wow. It's already forming? What are you and him hoping for?" Gumball asked as he stroked her faint bump gently and she giggled softly before smiling softer as he straighted removing his hand and her own hand moved down stroking her belly gently.
"I don't care what the gender will be. But he's hoping the baby'll be a girl." Fionna said smiling gently as she continued stroking her stomach a bit before letting a breath and placed her hands on her hips. "By the way! Marshall wanted me to tell you, that you are to come to his house by seven o'clock, he wants to spend the night with you and is kidnapping you for the day tomorrow."
"Ah I see. Well even so, I won't get away with being missing for a day or so-"
"Don't worry! Me and Cake'll cover for you!" Fionna interrupted before placing her hands on his shoulders, her eyes shining with happiness and her usual sparkle. "You are gonna go and enjoy yourself with him!"
He sighed out looking at her tiredly opening his mouth to speak, when his stomach gave a hard lurch and his eyes widened a bit as his hand moved up slapping over his mouth and he turned running to the bathroom hearing Fionna's panicked voice behind him as he stumbled to the toilet but knew he wouldn't make it and grabbed the small trash bin and ended up emptying his stomach contents into the bin. He felt a hand patting his back softly as he gagged. He hated vomiting, very much so, he get's weak feeling and he cries a lot and even after he can't stop crying for some reason and it was very embarrassing to him, for anyone whatsoever to see him sobbing over being sick.
"Bubbs, you should lay down." Fionna said softer now, her tone holding many layers of concern as she rubbed his back softly and he allowed her to help stand up and he found the mouth wash he was thinking of seeking in his hand and he knocked it back swishing it around his mouth briefly before spitting it out in the sick and turned with Fionna's hand on his back walking him to his bed and he crawled back in the bed resting his head on the pillow and looked at Fionna. "I can tell Marshall you don't feel like going out, if you're still not feeling good. Or do you prefer him to come here and you tell him yourself?"
"Just let him come later. I'm sorry to make you leave but I kind of feel like sleeping this off for a bit." Gumball said feeling his brows pull together tightly at how tired he was but then again vomiting does cause a strain on the body so it made sense. Fionna smiled leaning down kissing his cheek making him blush lightly and she nodded walking to the window. 'You should just go through the door, it even makes me as uneasy as Flame to see you going out the window."
"Don't worry, I got my safety net!" Fionna winked lightly when he heard a disgruntled sigh and he laughed gently at Cake's attitude and Fionna smirked. "But I want you to lay and stay in bed for the day, until Marshall comes."
"Yes, ma'am." Gumball said chuckled softly and the blonde smirked at him widely before she crawled out the window and disappeared from his view and he sighed shutting his eyes softly. How many days has he been sick now?
Five, that's a week he's been getting sick now, whether in the morning or even right after eating he would vomit and feel terrible afterwards. He sighed fluttering his lashes softly on his cheeks lightly as he curled up on his side, not wanting to think about it anymore and he sighed out again, before slowly drifting into that place that was dreaming yet not dreaming but he found himself surprisingly pleased to be in that area at all.
