After the vent session, the guys were still at his house. They had basically forced Marshall to go to his bed and sleep.
"Poor guy we need to do something for him," Danny said twirling a drum stick.
"Yeah but Fi isn't going to do anything with him while she's with Princy."
Brice flicked his head, "Kyle...not every solution to a problem is a girl..."
"It works for me."
"Guys, back to Marshall, please," Danny said not wanting to hear any more of that topic from Kyle.
"You're right we should do something for him. He's been running on practically nothing lately."
"Should we get him some more food?"
"Wouldn't hurt and while we're out we can check on Fionna and see how she's feeling."
They grab their stuff and quietly head out the door so they don't wake up Marshall. They decided the first stop should be the treehouse. They knocked on the door and a normal looking Fionna opened it.
"Hey, guys what's up?"
"We just came to check on you," Danny said waving.
"You're looking good," Kyle stated.
"Thanks, that's sweet guys. So Marshall told you I was sick?"
"Yeah he would've come by but he didn't get much sleep last night an-" Brice started but was elbowed by Kyle.
"What happened last night? Is he ok?"
"He's fine just overworked himself we think."
"Yeah, we were actually on our way to pick up some food for him since he seemed kinda low. You wanna come with?"
"Sure, got nothing else planned for today. Just let me grab the stuff he left here last night."
The group makes their way to a small food store and start looking at red stuff.
"Hey Fi does he like peppers?"
"I don't think so. Everything he usually gets is sweet."
"Ha! Lee has a sweet tooth."
"He does though! I tried to get him to try some tomato soup and he hated it!"
"What can we get him?"
"Follow my lead." She goes over to the berries, "Grab some raspberries and strawberries, I'll get some apples and cherries." The group works together fairly well until Kyle decided he was going to get a watermelon...He dropped it on his toe.
After a lot of laughing, they bagged everything up and headed over to Marshall's.
When they got to his house all the lights were still off so they knew he was still asleep. They quietly put everything away and chilled on the couch for a little while.
"It'll probably be a while before he wakes up so I think I'll head out," Danny said with Kyle following him.
"Ok bye guys be safe."
She and Danny were left.
It wasn't that she was uncomfortable with him, just she knew him least out of the group.
"So, Danny, what was Marshall working on so much?"
"He was in the writing zone and completed a song last night."
"That's all?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I've seen those bursts and he's usually really energetic after he finishes a song was that really all that happened last night?"
"Maybe you should ask him. I don't know the full story." He lied. The entire band knew exactly what happened but he was not going to be the one to tell her.
"So you do think something happened?"
"Like I said ask him."
Fionna decided to stop there and change the subject, "So can I ask why you're staying here?"
"Got nothing better to do."
"Ah."
"You?"
"I just want to talk to him and make sure he's doing ok."
"Ah."
...
...
...
Yep. They definitely aren't uncomfortable being alone at all together.
Eventually, Danny asks a question he never really got an answer to, "So you and Princy, how did that start?"
She smiled, "It was kinda a spere of the moment thing. I just woke up one day and said I'm going to confess to him and he accepted my feelings."
"Hmm, did he check on you?"
"No, he has a big thing about germs and getting sick."
"Dang, well has he done anything for you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like make you feel special. Do you feel that your relationship with him has really changed?"
She was a little nervous now, "W-what do you mean?"
"Ok so I'll be the first to say I don't really know what your relationship was like in the first place, but from the outside, it doesn't look like you guys are a couple."
"What does it look like then," She sounded extremely annoyed now.
"It looks one-sided. Everyone can see the way you look at him, be he never looks at you like that. You go out of your way to make him happy but has he ever done that for you? Has he done anything since the party that shows how he feels?"
"W-why are you asking me this?"
"I want you to start really thinking Fi. And you-" His phone started ringing. He answered, "Yeah?... Oh damn, I forgot I'll be there soon. Sorry, Fi I have to run."
He practically flew out the door leaving Fionna all alone.
She decided to walk upstairs to Marshall's bedroom and check on him.
He was in the same clothes from last night and not even under his blanket. She moved to his drawers to try and find an extra blanket to throw over him. She started to tuck him in when he started to move.
"Fi?" He said not even half awake.
"Shh go back to sleep."
"I must be dreaming cause you're the one supposed to be restin'."
"I'm 100% today, you need some more sleep."
He reached out for her hand, "Fi come 'ere."
She did only to be quickly pulled into bed with him.
"Marshal wha-!"
"Shh nap time." He held her close.
She wanted to argue with him. She wanted to say that she shouldn't do this. She could still say that Gumball wouldn't like it, but...she didn't.
She was so comfortable and at ease she found herself drifting quickly to sleep.
