Love struck Gumball X reader {Old Story}

Chapter 8

Nicole Watterson was absentmindedly vacuuming when she heard a knock upon her door. Turning the vacuum off, she leaned it against the couch and went to answer the door. Nicole opened the door, "Good morning Mrs. Watterson."

"Oh," Nicole smiled, "hello (your name)! You don't need to babysit today, so what brings you here?"

"I was wondering in Anais, Gumball, and, Darwin would like to hang out with me."

"That will be perfect! All they have been doing is lounge in their room, let me go get them," Nicole walked over to the stairs, "Anais! Darwin! Gumball! (Your name) is here to play with you guys!" Anais was the first to come down, happy to see you.

"(Your name)!" Anais yelled, enveloping you in a hug, she was such a west little rabbit at times. You smiled, lightly patting her head. Darwin came down not to long after, greeting you with his usual sweet smile and wave.

"While you guys are talking I'm going to organize the fridge." Nicole walked out of the living room and to the kitchen.

"Okay Mrs. Watterson, Gumball?" You questioned, glancing around their orderly home.

"He is upstairs having a virtual dinner date with penny." Darwin happily replied.

You groaned at this, he will never come down! "It is not even dinner time, it is only," you snuck a peek at the clock hanging on their wall, "ten o'clock!"

"You should not by now not to question gumball and his antics." Anais crossed her arms.

"Well, it is kinda hard not to because he practically defies all physics, and lives in a completely different time frame."

"Good point."

"I'm going to go get him, be right back." You told the two siblings before stomping up the stairs. You looked around the new, unfamiliar place that was the upstairs, "hey guys, which room is it?" You yelled down.

"It is the farthest one!" Darwin was quick to reply, he wanted to see if you will actually be able to take gumball away from his virtual date.

"Okay! Thanks!" You continued to stumble over to the door, looking around the area. The Watterson's house was actually really pretty, it was obvious Nicole worked hard to make it be as close to perfection get as possible.

You reached the door, and just as you were about to open it you felt the same odd warmth in your stomach from when gumball gave you the new book. What was this feeling? Your (mom/dad/guardian) must have put something funny in the (favorite breakfast) they gave you. Extending your (paw/claw/other), you twisted and opened the handle.

"Hi gumball." Gumball jumped, quickly turning to look at you.

"Oh," gumball smiled and waved before turning back to the screen," hi (your name)."

"So gumball," you began advancing toward the said boy, "Darwin, Anais, and I will be going to explore something really cool that I found, want to come with us?"

"I can't, I will have to cut my time with penny short!"

"Well gumball, technically, you are not even with penny, considering she is not here and stuff," you smirked, "therefore, you have not actually spent anytime with her, meaning you won't have to cut anything off."

"But (your name)," gumball turned to face you and motioned toward the computer, "I'm texting Penny."

"How long have you been doing it?"

Gumball dreamily sighed "we have been chatting since eight thirty-six."

You hummed, doing the math in your head, "that would mean you two have been talking for an hour and twenty-four minutes, and most studies show children under sixteen years old should get only thirty to forty-five minutes of screen time a day, and my guess is that you have not come out yet today so I think it will be a brilliant time to have you come be with your siblings and I."

You grabbed gumball by the tail and began dragging him away from the computer, the entire time he was writhing and whining. Darwin and Anais watched as you dragged gumball down the stairs.

"I guess this is close enough to getting him away from the computer." Darwin commented on the scene.

"Gumball, your siblings and I really want to hand out with you," you silenced him with a dark glare, "so please cooperate with us."

Gumball sighed, trying to avoid your gaze "fine, what are we exploring anyway?"

You let go of gumball, leading them to the front door, "a haunted house!" You smirked back at them before walking out of the house.
