Marshall x Gumball: Sick Gummy

Chapter 1: Date Night Fever

Waiting by the entrance of his shadowed home, Marshall was floating above the cooled grass that surrounded is sun protector; the cave. Tonight, like the other once a month nights, was his and his boyfriend, Prince Gumballs, date night.

Once night a month, Prince Gumball would not have any work and spend that one night relaxing in the company of his cool skinned, dominating boyfriend; Marshall Lee the Vampire king. Both Marshall and Gumball appreciated the one night that was truly theirs to share together. No paper work, no pressing matter to deal with and no meeting to attend to with the other prince's.

The date night started at 7:30pm, where Gumball would be dropped off by Monochromicorn outside of Marshall's cave, and he and Gumball would set out to their date destination. And each date night Gumball would reach Marshall's cave at 7:28. This gave him 2 minutes to straighten out his wrinkled clothes and smooth out his hair.

But this night was different from the other date nights he and Gumball had had. Taking a look at his pocket watch (which he had received from Gumball on their anniversary of dating), he took a quick glance of the time, which was now 7:43, but soon moved his gaze to the picture that was placed on the inside of the watch. The picture was of himself and Gummy. Sitting in a small clearing next to a small river with the sun setting behind them. They had taken that very photo on Marshall's Birthday when he had received the watch. And Marshall had insisted that they had to take a picture to go inside the watch, remembering the romantic date that Marshall held close to his heart.

By now Marshall was starting to worry.

'Gummies never this late.' Marshall thought to himself.

'I'd better go to the Candy Kingdom and check on GumGum.'

And so of flew Marshall, heading to the Candy Kingdom and to his pink Prince. And after flying no more than a few seconds with his super speed, Marshall gracefully landed on the balcony that he had visited many times before. Marshall new that the balcony doors would be unlocked. Gumball made sure that they were always unlocked for Marshall. In case a lonely Vampire needed company on lonely nights.

But what Marshall saw was a lot different from what he was hoping for. Marshall was expecting Gumball to be hunched over his baby pink desk, furiously scribbling away at some Chemical notes or important Candy Kingdom documents. But there was no sound of pen on paper and no light mumbles of Chemical formula's that were coming out of Gumball mouth to fast to write down.

But what Marshall got instead was a worried Peppermint Maid standing beside the Prince's king sized bed, gently dabbing away small beads of sweat off of a darker pink face.

"Peppermint?" Marshall's voice brock through the silence of the room and startling poor Peppermint maid.

"Oh, Marshall, it's you. Haha. You startled me." Peppermint Maid said, nervousness clearly in her voice.

"Sorry Peppermint. Is Gummy okay?" Marshall was staring right in her eyes.

"Please, do not worry Marshall. Gumball is okay. He just over worked himself and has a fever. But I do apologize about you date night tonight. Gumball was very much looking forward to it." Peppermint said, a tinge of sadness in her voice. She then took the cloth off of Gumball's forehead and dripped it into a medium sized bowl of water, rung out some of the water and replaced it back onto her Prince's head.

"Yeah, he's okay now." Marshall smiled to himself.

'Yes. Now that I'm here.'
