You'd Never Hurt Me...Right? (A Fiolee Story)

Chapter 4~ Stay

*Fionna's POV*

When we got to the tree house I ran to my room and closed the door and let myself cry. I couldn't believe it. I was crying over boys. I've encountered monsters and demons and didn't bat an eyelash. But then there's boys, who are the worst monsters of all. 

"Fionna? We gotta talk baby," Cake said through the door. I didn't say anything. I turned towards the door and saw that she had shrunk down and came under the door. 

"Sometimes I forget you can do that," I said flatly. 

"Well I can," she replied. "What happened, girl? Do I need to kick some vampire butt?" 

"It wasn't Marshall Lee, Cake! Glob, not everything is his fault!" I yelled. I didn't mean to come off defensively but I couldn't help it. 

"Oh," was all she said. 

"It was Gumball. He's always had a crush on me but he can't accept that I wanna be just friends. He and Marshall must have been fighting over me. Gumball knew Marshall was watching us and we kissed," I divulged. Cake was listening, her eyes wide. 

"You kissed Gumball?" 

"Mhm. I was really mad at him and he said he didn't wanna end things badly and he asked if I would kiss him," I said. 

"Was it good?" She laughed. 

I chuckled. "Yeah. Yeah it was. But that's aside from the point. Now Marshall hates me," I said. Before I knew it, Marshall Lee was sitting next to me. I let out a small scream to which he laughed. "Marshall! How long have you been here?!"

"I got here before you did," he said quietly. "Ah the power of invisibility." 

"Imma let you two talk. I'll have BMO cook somethin'," Cake said and left my room. 

There was an awkward silence after Cake left. I decided to brake it. 

"So...you heard all that, huh?" I asked. 

"Yep. Every word." He said. I nodded and layed on my bed. I was truly exhausted. He spoke again. "I don't hate you, Fionna." 

I was on the verge of falling asleep. "Really?" I asked tiredly. "That's good." I gave him a small smile and he gladly returned one.

"No matter how mad I get, I can't hate you, Fionna. But I just need to know one thing." He stated. 

"Hm?"

"Was Gumball a really good kiss?" He asked awkwardly. I looked up to him and he actually looked cute. Marshall Lee the son of a demon and the Vampire King: cute. 

"Pretty good, yeah. Why?" I was so close to falling asleep until Marshall Lee's arms picked me up and sat me on his lap.

This was so unlike him. I've never seen him act like this. Ever. His usually dark eyes were now a dark shade of brown. His sharp teeth were still visible, but not in a threatening way. 

"Oh. Better than....this?" He asked before leaning in and kissing me. I froze and he pulled back. "I-I'm sorry Fionna I-" 

I cut him off and kissed him. His mind registered and he kissed me back. His lips seemed to melt with mine perfectly and they weren't as cold as I expected. Marshall even smiled into my lips and I could tell he was happy. He wasn't forceful, he was quite gentle. We pulled apart and we both smiled. 

"No." I said. 

"No what?" asked Marshall. 

"Gumball could never top that. Not even in his dreams." I said. He smiled, exposing all his sharp teeth to me. 

"I like you, Fionna. I feel so weird being all emotional or whatever but here's my offer: we go out on one date. If you hate it, we can just be friends. If not? Then we'll see what happens." 

*Marshall Lee's POV*

"I like you, Fionna. I feel so weird being all emotional or whatever but here's my offer: we go out on one date. If you hate it, we can just be friends. If not? Then we'll see what happens." I said. I had no idea why I was doing this. She could be in danger. But I was the one who loved her so I didn't have a choice. 

She thought for a moment and smiled. "I like you too, Marshall Lee," she said in the voice that got me every time. If I could, I would blush. "A date sounds fun. One thing though."

"What?" 

"Don't tell Gumball. I'll get him back for what he did."  We laughed together and she layed down again and fell asleep. 

"Marshall Lee?" She said again. 

"Yeah, Fi?" I asked. 

"Stay here?" 

"Sure," I said. Glob, how could I say no!?
