Candy - a gumlee fanfic

1- The dark forest

Gumball stumbled through the thorny brambles that were on the floor of the dark forest , the sky had turned a strange purple hue and it was getting cold. He had no idea how he got here but he was determined to get back to his kingdom , surely his people would be missing him!
His hot pink clothes were easy to spot from a mile away against the dark vegetation,  but the trees were so tall and thick even a bird's eye view wouldn't locate him , He had decided to seek refuge knowing how dark it was.
He began to scramble through the forest tripping over sticks and dead foliage on the ground , the forest was completely dark and gumball could only rely on his sense of touch now to navigate where he was going..one tree..two..trees..
.Aaaaah! Gumball suddenly felt himself fall forward, plunging into the darkness! He hit rock at the bottom and scraped his legs elbows and hands ,  "Ouch" he muttered gazing up expecting to see the sky , where was he? , some kind of pit or chasm where he was forced to spend all eternity in darkness?!?! Well probably not , he stumbled to his feet , he heard a faint rip noise , he gazed at his puffy pink sleeve , " What?! You gotta be flipping kidding me! He said tugging at his silk sleeve "I'll sew it once I get out of here" he sighed.
A faint chuckling could be heard in the distance , gumball frantically turned around "who..who..goes there" he stuttered as he heard a swoosh behind him. "Chill dude your so tense" a cool crisp voice laughed, a razor like object brushed against gumball cheek , and he felt a sharp pain "looks like I left my mark on you" the voice whispered into his ear , Gumballs cheeks became hot and he froze in the spot "wh...who are you?..I only seek shelter" he announced,  "well a sweet thing like you wouldn't be caught dead around here... would it? The voice laughed motioning Gumball forward,  "go on" the voice stated "my house is down here...see?" It said as a light came into view , Gumballs eyes widened as a tall pale raven haired boy approached him with a lantern. He looked at gumball with a conniving grin "don't you trust me?"
"It's not like I have a choice in this matter" Gumball said standing tall.
"Alright then Mr. Rock solid" the boy smirked "follow me"
The duo walked through the dark , damp caves paths with only a glimmer of light to guide them.
"How do you live down here?" Gumball said in disgust
"I guess its second nature to me" the boy announced mischievously
What on earth does that mean? Gumball thought to himself before letting out a scream "AAAAH!"
"Huh? , what?" The boy asked.
"D...d..did you see that?" Gumball asked in horror
The boy looked around , "are you talking about that rat?"
"Oh GLOB yes!" Gumball said , grabbing onto the boy's flannel shirt.
"Wow dude , chill" the boy laughed
"NO HE IS GOING TO DEVOUR ME!!!!" Gumball screamed
"Rats don't eat humans" the boy said stifling a laugh
" I'm not a human" Gumball protested "I am prince Gumball , ruler of candy Kingdom"
" what an honourable title" the boy smirked.
"I'm at least 90% candy" Gumball announced.
The boy brought his face closer to Gumballs ear "does that mean you taste sweet?" He whispered
"Oh my glob!" Gumball muttered turning bright pink , "exactly that's why I need that rat as far away from me as possible"
"Alright I'll protect you ,prince pink" the boy grinned grabbing Gumball's puffy shoulder a as the two walked ahead.
