Just my problem (marceline x fem reader)

Chapter 18

"M-marcy" I said, my voice trembling my body starting to match it. "get over here please"

She tilted her head with a quiet hum matching my gaze and softening her expression, her mind clearly preoccupied with a mix of disappointment and confusion. I stumbled to her meeting her halfway and pulling her into an embrace and shoving my face into the crook of her neck chuckling in disbelief. I was glad Marcy was wearing a vest the skin on skin contact warmed me and immediately calmed me.

She briefly stroked my hair before moving past me to see the screen while I just continued staring in the direction she had walked from. I heard her arrive at the desk. Place her hand down on it and squeak trying to contain a cry. And then proceed to smash the icy desk to bits with a pained roar. I squeezed my eyes together not wanting to turn around, to see the state she would be in.

"Hey my set up!" ice king chimed in to be met by a unified chorus of "shut up!!"

I was brought out of my trance like state when I felt a hand on my shoulder slowly turning me around and immediately butting her forehead with mine. "hey sweetheart.." Marcy said quietly

"Hi" I said back not being able to muster anything more than a whisper. Marcy closed her eyes as if she didn't want to say what she was about to say.

"I'm going to go take care of some business" yeah, I expected to hear that part. But then she said in a strained voice as if fighting back tears. "and you're going to stay here with Finn and Jake"

I immediately pulled away from her embrace my face scrunched up in disbelief "W-wha.. what are you sayi- No! no, Marcy that isn't a thing" I said beginning to breathe more rapidly and panic.

Suddenly I was pulled back into the same embrace despite my struggles she spoke. "Yes (Y/N) it is. This is something I need to do on my own. Things are going to get crazy and I am not allowing you to see that side of me... Not yet honey" I sighed. When she had her heart on something there was no changing her mind.

Especially. This.

I stepped back and folded my arms "Fine.. go" I said closing my eyes. I wasn't angry. Maybe a little upset but I've never seen her as driven. I heard her sigh as well. "call me if you get worried. But I promise you (Y/N) nothing bad will happen to me." she said winking before flying out of the window.

Marceline POV

I took a deep breath and shook my head. Dang that was harder than I thought I said to myself in my head. The thought of (Y/N) worrying back there was killer but I cant risk her getting hurt. I picked up my pace as the candy kingdom came into view my eyes narrow and my fists balled. My fists were going to be meeting a certain face very soon.

Not much later I smashed through the brittle exterior of the main castle tumbling on the floor before sliding to a stop in a crouched position. The room was near pitch black but luckily for me that meant next to nothing. I could see just as good as day light.

A speaker from the roof of the building crackled to life before bubblegums voice sounded from them.

"Good evening Marcy" she said smugly causing my blood to boil and my fists to clench even tighter.

"You knew Id be coming" I questioned growling in a low tone before I looked up at the speaker "And its Marceline... to you."

"Now is that anyway to speak to a friend" she retorted maintaining her smug tone.

"youre not my friend!" I exclaimed cutting her off but as soon as I finished my sentence a felt a throbbing migraine like pain shoot in my head. But I simply gritted my teeth unable to show weakness.

"What.. wha.. is this??" I grunted beginning to wobble a little on my feet.

"You see Marcy" she said with extra emphasis "when you do as much research into the mind as I have been doing of late you get pretty good at manip_" she began to trail off as the pain reached its peak and the room around me began to spin and as far as I knew my body hit the floor. Amongst my disorientation I couldn't even tell. Blackness crept away at the corner of my eyes and I was helpless. I began to feel as if I was drifting from my own body and finally the black had enveloped my entire vision.

I had no idea what was happening but I only had one thought in what was left of my mind

I promised her...
