"Marecy up" ciaran said lightly shaking me. I batted my eyes open and was blinded by the sunlight that came through my window.

"Why are you waking me up so early?" I asked sitting up in my bed. "I went to a cafe earlier and they have an open mic at 3, i thought you would want to do that" he said and i smiled.

"Well, thank you" i said. "Okay out im nakie" i said and he laughed. I pulled my gray hoodie over my head and slipped on my black shorts.

I walked downstairs and filled up a mug with coffee. "Hey wanna come grocery shopping with me?" I asked ciaran as u walked into the living room.

"Sure" he said getting up off the couch. "My car" he said grabbing his keys. I opened the passenger side door  and got in.

"Grab a cart please" i said as we entered the store. "Okay first thing ee need is bread" i said and he started pushing the cart in front of me as we walked to the bread isle.

I put two loafs of bread in the cart and   walked to the cereal. "Can you get that for me please?" I asked pointing at the cereal that was on a higher shelf.

"Oh my god ciaran look!" I said excitedly as i stopoed in front of the jewelry to look at the matching skull necklaces with the words "best friend' on them.

"We have to get them and we have to wear them everyday and everywhere" i said and he smiled as i put them in the cart.

As i went to grab a candle ciarans hand went for the same one and that made for approximately 5 seconds of eye contact until i nervous moved my hand away. "Uh-uhm go ahead" i said walking to grab the cart.

"You okay?" He asked. "Yep. Never better" i said.

What the hell just happened.

We got the register and scanned all yhe items we had in the cart. I pulled my wallet out of my bag and ciaran shook his head. "No no marcey im not letting you pay for all this" he said swiping his card on the machine. "I hate you" i said.

"You love me" he said and i smiled. We put all the groceries in the trunk and as i went to close the trunk, oncd again his hand met mine and. "You're shaking" he said softly and I felt my cheeks heat up.

He closed the trunk and got in the car and i stood for a second to think to myself.

What the fuck is going on with me today?

The car ride was filled with an awkward silence until we pulled up to the house. "Marce are yoy sure you're okay?"he asked. "Im fine" i said getting out of the car and grabbing bags from the trunk to bring inside.

After putting away all the groceries i went up to my room, locking myself in. "Come on marceline what the fuck is going on in there" i said to myself as i paced around my room.

I heard a knock on my door and i sighed before opening the door just enough for him to see my eyes. "You're being weird marceline, tell me whats wrong?" He asked.

"Uhm uh im just...nervous about the gig at the cafe" i lied.

(Ciaran's POV)

I knew she was lying. "Dont be. You're amazing" i said. "Oh, here" i said handing her the side of the necklace that said 'best'. "Can you put it on me?" She asked.

I moved her hair to the side and put the necklace around her neck. "You should go get ready, its almost 3" i said and she nodded her head.

I walked back downstairs to sit on the couch. Sometimes i wonder what it would've been like without marcey, i probably wouldn't be here to be honest.

Shes saved me more times than I'd ever admit to her face. "Hows this?" I heard from behind me and i felt my face turning red.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

She wore a mid thigh white dress with sunflowers crocheted on the bottom. "Its cool" i said. Its fucking amazing. "Okay im gonna grab my things then ill be ready to go" she said.

(Marceline's POV)

I tuned my guitar and walked onto the stage. There was a fair amount of people in there. About 20 maybe. "This is a song called long sleeves" i spoke into the microphone.

Packing while you're asleep
You were the catalyst
I don't know what it is about how you breathe
About how you breathe

I want to be alone
Hate it that no one knows
You're good to everyone
All them but me
All them but me

And if you hear me
Leaving in the morning
Could you just pretend that
It was only wind?
'Cause I can't love you
Even if I want to
Got a lot to work through
You don't know where I've been

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming

Say something sweet to me
It never meant a thing
Used to the turbulence
I wore long sleeves
I wore long sleeves

I fought 'til you tethered me
Swept under surfaces
Never enough of it
You didn't think
You didn't think

If you hear me
Leaving in the morning
Could you please pretend that
It was only wind?
'Cause I can't love you
Even if I want to
Got a lot to work through
You don't know where I've been

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming

I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down

I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down

The people clapped and a smile spread across my face when i saw ciaran, clapping and cheering louder than anyone.

"You were amazing marcey" he said wrapping his arms around me and i smiled.
