The sweet kiss of death - a marshall lee x prince Gumball fanfic

14. The ball

Gumball: Marshall & I walked down the stairs, hand in hand towards my people. In the next few minutes, I would either improve or destroy my life. But it had to be done. Marshall is the best thing I have ever had, and I want my people to know that. As we reached the 4th step from the bottom, I felt Marshall give my hand a light squeeze. I looked over to him & he was smiling at me. "Now or never" I muttered, and smiled back.

Marshall: "screw that. I have you now & I intend to keep you forever.  Whatever happens,  you always have me." We reached the last step & Gumball let go of my hand, approaching the microphone that had been placed on the stage.  Glob, I hate serious shit. But this is how Gummy works. Serious. By the book. and I find it adorable with him. When he doesn't work too hard that is...

Gumball: I took the mic & the crowd fell silent. I glanced back at Marshall who was standing on the last step, out of veiw of the people. "My loyal citizens, I have bought you all here to make an important announcement." I waited for the attention of the last few, still filling glasses or finishing drinks. Once I had all eyes on me, I continued. "Firstly, you all expect me to take a wife when I come of age, correct?" I get a few nods & shrugs from the crowd. "Well, this is not the case. I hope you will all be very understanding of what I am about to say, and will listen until the end of my announcement"  I took a deap breath, and prepared myself for what comes next. "I am not interested in taking a wife. For the simple reason... I am gay."

Marshall: he said it. He finally said it. Half of The crowd gasped, some nodded & cheered in support, while others stayed silent. This was my cue to step out of the shaddows & stand beside my boyfriend. As I came into view; people started to gasp once more, and chatter between themselves. Pfft, losers. They're just jealous of how fabulous I look. I take Gummy's hand & he gives me a nervous look, before turning back to the mic.

Gumball: "and so, I would like to formally introduce my boyfriend, Marshall Lee, vampire king of the night-o-spheer"   I looked into Marshall's eyes, Ignoring the crowd for a moment. But soon we both turned our attention back to the sea of people. Then, something incredible happened.

Marshall: they started clapping & cheering. The entire crowd was smiling up at us. Minus the few homophobes in a corner who seemed to be disgusted by us. But I'll sort that lot out later. I felt my fangs dig slightly into my bottom lip. For now though, I intend to enjoy the party, and I can't wait to show off to the crowd just how much fun I can be.

Gumball: I'm so relieved.  Most of them seem happy for me. For us. I squeeze Marshall's hand in mine, before dismissing the crowd to enjoy the party.  Suddenly Marshall grabed my other hand, bringing me towards him.

Marshall: "So now I can kiss you in public without having to be invisible. you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this..." I pulled him closer & pressed my lips against his. I heard LSP call something out, and Gumball pulled away. Way to ruin the moment, Lumphead!

Gumball: "save it for later Marshall. Let's go join the party!" I couldn't help but blush. LSP had called out  'get a room you two, like ohmyglob!' And for a moment there I thought Marshall might try dragging me inside to do just that!  I grabbed Marshall's hand & intertwined our fingers, leading him down the few steps to ground level with everyone else.

Marshall:  Gumball was so eager to party tonight. Maybe this could be interesting. It's time I started leading the way, instead of letting him drag me around.

Gumball: as I was leading Marshall towards some of my people to introduce him, he suddenly dragged me in the opposite direction. Towards a table full of pre-filled campaign glasses. "Marshall, no..."

Marshall: "lighten up Gummy. We both need it after this torturous announcement.  I still don't know why we couldn't just let them figure it out" I winked at him so he'd know I was joking with the whole protesting attitude thing, and then I picked up 2 glasses off the table.

Gumball: "Marshall, I'm under age! Come on, I shouldn't drink & neither should you!" I tried to protest for real this time but for some reason, even I knew I wasn't being entirely serious.

Marshall: "oh come on, live a little. So what? You're not quite 18 yet. Surely nobody is going to care. And besides, it's 1 year early....why bother waiting?"  Pfft, If I could tell him half the shit I did at 17.... 

Gumball: "oh alright fine, ONE drink. Just one." Marshall smirked at me & handed me a glass, then wrapped his arms around my waist, still holding his own glass in his left hand, and lifted me up. We were now flying around towards the back of my castle. "Marshall what are you doing?!"

Marshall: "too many people down there. Besides,  I have a surprise for you"  Gumball was kinda right, he couldn't risk getting caught drinking around all those people while he was still technically under age. So I may have set something up earlier. Just for us...

Gumball: Marshall set me down on my balcony, and landed behind me. He put his glass down & placed both his hands lightly over my eyes. "Oh come on Marshall really?!"  I head him giggle as he started to turn me around.

Marshall: "okay. Open your eyes!" I removed my hands & he slowly opened his eyes, and looked around. "Surprise, Gummybutt!"

Gumball: there was a picnic rug set out on my balcony, with a basket of food, and 2 bottles sitting in the center. "Marshall! Wow. I-I don't know what to say!" ... wait... what did he call me? .... "but, Gummybutt??... why?"

Marshall: "because, you are my gummybear... and you have a sexy butt." I winked at him & slapped his ass lightly, making him jump. I couldn't help but laugh as I took a sip of my champaign.

Gumball: "shutup! Ugh you are so embarrassing sometimes Marshall!" I could feel my cheeks burning as a thick blush covered most of my face.

I took a small sip from the glass that he had given me before. "Hmm, Not bad... but not great either"

Marshall: "Ha, just drink it... don't be a wuss" I sat down on the blanket & flipped open the basket. I grabbed out an apple for me, and some pie for gumball (prepared by that chirpy lil peppermint maid)  

Gumball: "I am not a wuss!.... I just don't normally drink." I sit down beside Marshall. The food looks great & the veiw is amazing up here at this time of the evening. Everything was perfect.
