Gumlee (Marshall Lee × Prince Gumball)

Chapter 12

Gumball's pov

Hmm. Cake seems oddly not sick. She's definitely faking it, but why? "You in school right now Cake?"

"Yea, still in college," she responds and I look at her suspiciously.

"Any tests today?"

"None at all."

"Any problems at school."

"None," she smiles, well she definitely looks truthful.

"Well you have no fever and I can't seem to find anything wrong with you.

"Oh." Is all she says.

"What are you playing at Cake?" I question still suspicious. I know she's been wanting me to relax more but what is this?

There was suddenly a knock on the door.

Marshall was spacing out. Again. He needed to stop that or else I'll have to put a restriction to kisses he gets a day.

So I offered to get the door and quickly walked over. "Hello?" I open the door.

It's... Mono?

"Monochromicorm? What are you doing here?" I questioned.

He didn't really speak, I mean he never did. He just couldn't so he used sign language although fluent in morse code. Know from experience he would generally do inappropriate morse code in class and only I would know what it meant.

He then signed to me, "I came to see Cake, she told me she was terribly ill, so being her boyfriend, I came."

I nodded, understandable. Yet I still felt awkward being near him, ever since... Well never mind, that's a story for a different day.

"Well come in," I smiled.

He gestures his hands towards me, what was he doing. He kept a doing it.

Finally he shoved me out of the doorway with an aggravated look, then realized he asking for me to move, I forgot... To do that, "oh... Um... Sorry," I mumble, almost is if making sure no one heard.

I closed the door and walked back to the room where everyone was surrounding Cake.

I heard Mono tap his fingers making a click noise on the wood so Cake could hear it, "babe, you alright? Do you need anything?"

"Oh I'm fine just need some rest," she responded.

Mono nodded and gave Marshall a look. He used sign language. "Um what?" Marshall looked confused at this.

Fionna whispered to him in a not so quiet way, "don't worry I don't understand It either."

I walk over, "he's introducing himself, this is monochromicorn." I smile at the too long of a name.

"M-m-mono- krome- what?" Marshall questions confused.

"You can call him mono," I reassure him.

He nods, "well hi Mono, I'm Marshall, Gummy's boyfriend," he starched that word out, but why?

Mono nods and stares at me and gives me a thumbs up and winks. He then taps his fingers: "good job bubba, never thought you'd get a boyfriend, let alone one that looks like he can give you a good time." He winks again and I start blushing, MONO. I don't respond though but Cake chuckles and Marshall and Fionna look very confused.

But the room then went quiet and Marshall was giving me a very strange look, he up to me and put an arm around me. "Sooo how do guys know Mono?"

"Oh," I smiled happily, "he's my childhood friend, we met ages ago. We did everything together." I smiled more remembering.

I hear Mono's fingers: "Everything."

I blush again and give Mono a stern look, not the time Mono.

I look back at Marshall, "and then I met Cake and Fionna and I introduced them."

Marshall nods as if he's in deep thought.

Oh glob, what if he already knows!

((Special thanks to _hardcoreKid_ for giving me motivation to keep writing this story and giving me an idea for the plot!!! Genius idea to include Mono!))
