Dark Memories of a Returned Hero

*Finn's Age: 23*

Marceline's P.O.V

Finn has come back from a rather long journey away from Ooo. To be honest, I was sad to hear that he left. He really made me smile when he was around. It was about 3 years ago and life since then has been pretty boring and uneventful. But, now he's back and we can have fun again. I personally can't wait to do a lot of the fun things we used to do, like pranking people, jamming out together, or just hanging out and talking like close friends. I only hope that he's still interested in that stuff and hasn't grown out of it, since age can really change a person's interests.

I dress myself in a long gray shirt that reaches down my legs. Mind you, I'm still wearing shorts underneath the shirt, I just like wearing long shirts cuz they feel like dresses. I pick up my well-known axe bass and float out my front door. I then shut the door and make my way towards Finn's treehouse. Finn's been living there by himself ever since Jake decided to move in with Lady Rainicorn. I kinda feel bad for him, cause I know that it can get lonely being by yourself. I've had more than enough experience with that than I'm willing to admit. But that's why I'm coming out to visit him. After all, that's what best friends are for, right?

I pause and hover in place. Am I sure it's because we're best friends? Or is it my crush on the adventurer that's really talking? If I'm to guess, it's my crush on Finn and you know what, I'm perfectly fine admitting it. I have to at some point right? I continue floating in the direction of Finn's place. When I get there, I'm surprised to see that all the lights are off. Frowning at the odd sight, I fly to Finn's window and peek inside to see what might be going on. I breathe a sigh of relief as I see Finn putting on his pajamas, nothing else out of the ordinary going on. I blush ever so slightly when I see a brief glimpse of his underwear. Not wanting to wait any longer, I tap lightly on his window. I see Finn turn and walk towards me, him smiling as he opens the window. But I can't help but feel that his smiled is forced.

"Hey, Marcy. What brings you here?" The young adventurer asks.

"Is that any way to greet your best friend after being gone so long?" I smile at him, opening my arms for a hug, "Bring it in, Hero."

I fly through the open window and hug him, the boy turned young man easily hugging me back with a strength I haven't seen from him before. But it's one that makes me like him even more now.

"Oh, and I thought I would stop by and see how my favorite human in all of Ooo is doing" I reply, smiling at Finn as I fly past him and sit down on the edge of his bed, "Assuming that's not a problem?"

"Not at all" He replies, trying his best to keep a smile on his face for me.

Finn then closes the window and comes over to sit next to me. It's cute how he chooses to be so close to me, our hips almost touching. He can be such a romantic at times it's a wonder how he didn't snag a girl that'd want to stay his girlfriend for years and years into the future. But then again, that's what I'm hoping to be, so I guess it's technically working. 

"So" I say, placing my hands over each other on my lap, "How are you doing, Finn? Are you..... feeling alright?"

".......I wish I could say yes, but I'm really not" Finn answers, sounding tired, "Though it's not something I want to burden you with."

"Are you getting sleepy, Hero?" I ask him, frowning and turning more towards him.

"No, it's not that" Finn responds, shaking his head, "I just...don't like thinking about my time out there in the Wastelands."

"Why? What happened out there that was so horrible for you?" I ask, wanting to know what's bothering him.

He looks down at the ground, indicating that he doesn't want to talk about it. I now feel bad since I've probably resurfaced some bad memory in his head that he's probably tried to forget and that I'm more than likely appearing to be too pushy in his eyes.
