Bad Enough For You (Gumlee)

Chapter 5: Vampires Don't Exist

Marshalls POV

I woke up before Gumball, I stayed in bed a little while longer just watching him. He was so cute cuddled up against me, hair falling slightly into his face. I reach down and move his hair to tuck it behind his ear. I have to go though, before he wakes up. The truth is I really am a vampire, just as I told him but I get that he doesn't believe it. I would think it was just a little joke too, how do I tell him I mean it? He needs to know if we're going to be together and I want us to be together forever, no matter how long his forever is. I get dressed and slowly creep out the door, I'm going for breakfast.

The part about vampires needing blood is true, at least in my case. I don't think I've ever met another vampire, you can understand my loneliness. I walk my way to a clearing far in the woods from Gumballs house and spot a deer. God do hate this, but I have to do it to survive, I need both blood and human food to survive. It's a struggle but its my life and its what I'm accustomed to.

I'd like to say that I have powers and can fly and such but that'd be a lie. Well apart from this sort of hovering thing I can do. I'm not sure if I can actually fly, but the hovering is just fine for me. Apart from that and pretty noticeable fangs, I'd say I was perfectly normal, I guess. Okay fine, not normal, but I've never been normal so it's just my life.

I creep towards the deer, slowly making my way through the brush. Suddenly when I'm close enough, I strike the deer, fangs first. I hold the creature until I've had my fill, I then let it run into the woods. You didn't think I murdered poor animals like that did you? I'm pretty bad but I'm not cruel, there's no use in senseless killing. And before you even think about it, no that deer is not going to turn into the living dead such as myself. It doesn't work on animals, but I'm not too sure about people..I think it works? I've never tried and that's why I'm so unsure about Gumball.

I don't want to hurt him and I definitely don't want this life for him do I? We could live forever but the main question is would he want that? How am I sure he even loves me for sure, why would he. I've always been so sure of myself before, he just confuses me. I'm so unsure about love and everything about it. Nobody ever told me how to do this, I'm just winging it but I feel like we're fine. I did just wake up cuddled into his arms this morning, he must feel something for me. I need to go back to him, I wonder if he's up yet wondering where I am.

I dust off and straighten up my clothes before walking back into the house. I hear shuffling and he walks into the kitchen still wiping the sleep from his eyes. "Now where did you run off to?" He asks me, I guess the time to tell the truth is right now.

"I went for breakfast," I took off my coat and walked toward him "vampires..need blood to survive." He giggles at this making my face red "vampires again huh? Funny but how long is this joke gonna go on?" He grabs my wrist, but quickly let's go when he sees and feels a red spot.

"What's that?" He asks looking fearful, a look I don't ever want to see on his face. "Is that blood? Marshall please..." He stumbles backwards almost falling. "Yes it's blood, but its not human if that's what you're you're thinking, its deer. I told you I need blood to survive."

He looks at me with fear and confusion, he's obviously skeptical, who wouldn't be? "So let's say you are one.. prove it to me." How does he want me to prove it to him? I could show him my fangs but that doesn't exactly prove anything, I have to be drinking for them to really show. I decide it's worth a shot so I ask, "Do you wanna see my fangs?" He walks towards me "I've seen your teeth..they're kinda big but nothing too unusual, those don't prove anything. You couldn't had them filed or something for all I know."

His lack of trust in me was pretty disheartening to say the least but I understood. This all has to be a bit much for the poor guy, but if I truly loved him I would have to keep pushing this.

"Okay, okay how about I fly, or more or less float for you? Will that prove something?" He answered this with a slight nod of his head. Okay now I just have to, ah, okay now I've this. I'm now floating a few inches then a foot off of the ground. I don't think I've done this since before I met him, it doesn't take any energy to do this, it's just natural. I used to float all the time when it was just me, I don't have the most comfortable furniture so it helped out. I imagine this has to be pretty weird for him so I decide to ask him what he thought. "Does this prove anything?"

He just looks at me with wide eyes and whispers quietly "So you're really a..vampire? This is insane I just, I'm good this is fine. Haha this is fine!" He seems to be taking this weird..but at least he believes me.

"So you're okay with this?" I laugh and that's when I hear a thud. I go over to Gumball, who's now on the floor "babe? Are you alright?" Seems he's passed out, fuck.
