♥ Gumball P.O.V

The multi-colored lights from the chandelier above washed over us as I lowered myself from Marshall's grip to the middle of the dance floor. The candy people -generous to their prince as they were- kindly stepped out of the way and continued their dancing as I took Marshall's hand and pulled him in to the groove. He smiled warmly down at me, and I shivered softly as his canines became visible.

I wasn't one for being confident in situations like this. Attending parties, balls, and other types of celebrations like this was a prince's duty. However, I never really danced unless asked. Dancing freely in front of all of my citizens was a big step. Though, as long as my vampire king stood by me.. nothing mattered.

Trying to gain at least a little confidence, I twirled myself around using Marshall's hand. Over the music, I could hear him chuckling to my attempt. I loved how over and sound, I could easily find Marshall's voice. It wasn't like any other in my opinion. Honestly, it's like a song that only I could hear.

I decided to close my eyes and lose myself within the melody of the music while Marshall finally began to sway with me. However, whenever I peaked from my closed eyes, I noticed that anytime Marshall Lee twirled me..his eyes would dart of to the DJ.

Knowing Marshall, he was up to something, but.. what?

♥Marshall Lee's P.O.V♥

I smiled devilishly at the bubblegum prince as he swayed to the rhythm. His eyes were closed as he gently bumped his hip against mine. I couldn't help but chuckle. He was so lively when he was around me. For the shy bubblegum prince to be courageously dancing in the open like this was impressive. I took his hand and pushed myself against his front side, allowing both of our pelvises to grind as we swayed.

A small blush formed across his face, turning him a rose red. Suddenly, the beat slowed and stopped. Everyone stood quietly as DJ Prince's booming voice came over the speakers once again. "My lovely citizens, will you please take a step from the dance floor and allow our Prince Gumball and Mr. Abadeer have a little space?"

As his smooth voice motivated everyone to clear a way, the circle around us grew bigger, and bigger. Until we were the only ones in the center of the dance floor. I could feel my heart drop as Gumball's confused eyes flicked back at me from the DJ.

'Oh zip.. It's time.'

I cleared my throat and snapped for my guitar. To my satisfaction, someone quickly brought over the bass ax. I took it quietly and waved for the little candy citizen to back away. He bowed, then ran away quietly back in to his spot. After taking one last look at the blushing bubblegum prince, I smirked and rose in to the air.

Thankfully, at that time Cake and Fionna stretched into the castle doors. I could hear Cake huffing as she made her way to the hidden button on the wall beside the chocolate fountain. I awaited for my cue. There was a sudden wave of air as I heard Cake begin the rhythm on the drums. I strummed my bass to the sound, and the crowd cheered in delight.

Out of everyone in the room, my eyes were focused upon only one person. His face was covered by the palms of his hands and his eyes sparkled with tears as I sung to him.

"Your sugar. ... Yes, Please... Won't you come and put it down on me?" 

A smile coiled my lips as I hovered around , stopping above him to hang upside down. His eyes met mine, a hint of excitement sparkling within them.

"I'm right here.. co'z I need. . little love, a little sympathy. Yeah, you show me good lovin'. Make it alright. Need a little sweetness, in my life.."

As the song ended, I hovered down to the dance floor. My feet dropped heavily and I stumbled, but played it off as everyone began to applaud. They cheered my name loudly. Though, I didn't break eye contact with the Bubblegum Prince in front of me. He blushed deeply as I made my way to him, pushing my bass out of the way.

"M-Marshall ..." I heard him say, his eyes beginning to water. "That was sweet and I-" He was cut off by our lips suddenly smashing together. They moved in sync and everyone around us began to roar with excitement. I ignored them and placed my hands against Gumball's cheeks. I could feel his sweet tears against my cool grey skin. Which made me feel alive.

I quickly wiped them away and smiled, breaking our face battle. 

"I love you, Gumball."
