Marshall Lee and Gumball

Part Six

Gumball faltered and rubbed his arm sheepishly. "I'm sorry Marshall. I ruined the party for you. It's just....seeing Fiona with him...." He sighed. 

Marshall glanced up to him with a hard face. "So you...like Fiona?"

"Well..." He shrugged. "I did. But now....I'm not so sure...." 

"They're no good for you anyways." Marshall whispered and floated over to his bed and sat down. 

Gumball didn't quite understand what he meant by 'they're' but he just shrugged again and sat down next to the vampire. 

Gumball rested his head on Marshall's shoulder and they sat there for a while in silence. 

Marshall didn't even push bubba away when he did that. He kinda...liked it. He liked being this close to him. 

He felt protective and...warm. 

Like the warm in the stomach type of warm. 

What were these feelings? 

He was straight and he knew gummy was too but....did bubba have the feelings also? 

He sorta hoped so. 

Suddenly they both interrupted each other. 

"Marshall?"

"Bubba?"

Gumball blushed at that. "Oh, um, you go first."

Marshall was about to say it but then shook his head. "Nah...it's not...important... What were you going to say?"

"Um...can I stay over again?" He asked. 

Marshall smirked a little and nodded. "Of course you can your majesty." 

"Oh stop it. Don't call me that." Gumball rolled his eyes. 

Marshall chuckled. "Well you do have the crown." He took off gummy's crown and held it in front if them. 

They both laughed softly then he put the crown down. "Wanna sleep now? It's getting darker..." 

Gumball nodded and yawned like a cute little puppy and stretched his arms. 

He didn't bother changing again and crawled right into Marshall Lee's bed and wrapped himself in the blankets. 

Marshall smirked at him and floated around the bed and took off his shoes then went into his sleeping position in the air. 

Before he was going to shut off the lights Gumball spoke up. "Marshall? C-can you sleep next to me?" 

"Aren't I already?" Marshall questioned and looked down to the lump in the purple sheets. 

Gumball shook his head. "No. I mean like in the b-bed...." 

Marshall raised his eye brows and blushed but nodded and floated down on to the bed next to bubba and slipped under the covers. 

Now I can't sleep, he thought, or else I'll float. 

He sighed lightly but shut off the light and went on his side facing his gumwad. 

Just then Gumball shifted closer to him and wrapped his arm around Marshall's arm. 

And after a few moments, Marshall finally asked what he was going to ask before, "Gumball, do you like me?"
