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

17. Returning to hell.

Gumball: We had only just gotten dressed, when Pepper knocked on my bedroom door. She handed Marshall a red envelope that was addressed to him. Then, she left. "Marshall, what does it say?"

Marshall: "it says.... I'm going to hell." Why must she do this to me now? She's never had any part in my life. But now the bitch is getting too old... so she comes running to me for help.

Gumball: "What do you mean Marshall? Baby please explain" he had tensed up as soon as he started reading that letter.

Marshall: "My mother requires my presence in the Night-O-Spheer. When she calls on me, I have to go." I scrunch the letter up & burry my face in my hands.

Gumball: "What?! So you're leaving? How long for?" I'd never even heard about his mother before. I guess they must be on bad terms or something.

Marshall: "yeah, I gotta leave for a while. But I'll be back in about a month... I'm sorry Gummy... There's no way for me to get out of this" I sighed deeply as I felt Gummy sit on the bed beside me.

Gumball: "A month. Why? Why does she need you there? Why now?!" Marshall had become 90% of my life lately. I still attend my duties, but he is everything to me. Now he has to leave for a month. And I'll be alone.

Marshall: "she's getting too old. As the heir to the throne, I have to help her. You see, Although I am king, she's been handling everything for years. Since my father died. I don't want the kingdom. Who wants to rule a firey hole full of undead blobs anyways. But she insists."

Gumball: "Okay, when do you have to leave?" I just hope I get more time with him before he goes away. An entire month without him ....

Marshall: "As soon as she calls upon me. I have no idea when." I stand up, heading for the window.

Gumball: "where are you going?" I follow Marshall.

Marshall: "Home. I have to grab some things." I grab gummy's hand & float up & out of the window, holding him tight.

Gumball: It's been 2 days since Marshall got that letter. We've been at my place mostly, after he picked up his bag & stuff. I havn't been feeling the best, but Marshall had too much to think about. It's probably the flu or something. So now I'm sitting on the edge of my bed, watching & Listening to Marshall play the guitar.

Marshall: I'd been trying to write a song, but it didn't sound right. So I'm just strumming random chords, and picking up what sounds better together. Then, suddenly, A portal opens near the balcony windows. "Shit. Gummy.... I'm being called. I have to go" I set my guitar down, and grab my backpack, throwing it over 1 shoulder lazily.

Gumball: "but..." I sigh. "Okay. Bye Marshall" I hug him, taking in that scent of apples & strawberries I love so much. He kisses the top of my head. Reminding me again that he is taller than me. Then, he steps into the portall without another word. The portal closes, and he's gone.
