Gumlee (Marshall Lee × Prince Gumball)

Chapter 1

Marshall woke up to no sound at all, that's strange his alarm clock should have gone off, he then looked at the clock, seeing 9:00. "Fuck, I'm late!" he yelled as he quickly changed into his uniform for school.

He ran down stairs to grab an apple and ran to school. He looked at his watch and punched himself, "how can I be such an idiot, being late on the first day of school."

Marshall had just been accepted to a school for gifted kids, he told himself and over, that, that didn't mean he was a nerd, just gifted. He was cool and popular, definitely not a nerd. As he ran to school, he bumped into some kid with the same uniform and fell to the ground, "ow, watch out where your going next time." Marshall said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I would have to say the same for you," a kid with pink hair told him, he looked like a complete nerd with his shirt perfectly tucked in and his tie, straightened to perfection. The strange boy then held out his hand to Marshall.

Marshall grabbed the boy's hand and now looked down at him. Marshall then brushed the dirt off him and then stared at the boy. "I'm Bubba, and who might you be."

"what kind of name is that?" Marshall looked at him, "I'm Marshall."

"ah, so your the new kid who's rumored to bring trouble to the school," Bubba smiled

"Whatever, " Marshall replied and started walking to school.

"You know your late," Bubba told him.

"Yea, I know, so are you," Marshall said getting annoyed at the boy.

"I'm just skipping gym class is all..." Bubba said his cheeks turned red from embarrassment.

Marshall chuckled at him and kept walking. "so what's this school like anyway?"

"Well there's the kids who got in the school with money, who think there better than everybody else, but are terrible in class. Then there are the kids who go to the school, with a scholarship and are very smart." He answered.

"So in other words, there's snobs and nerds," Marahall looked at Bubba.

Bubba rolled his eyes at those word not like be fit into one word. "what are you?" Marshall questioned.

"I have a scholarship," he answered.

"oh, okay nerd," Bubba frowned and continued to follow Marshall to school.

"What about you?" Bubba quickly asked.

"I'm Marshall, I don't do these stupid group things."

The rest of the walk was quiet and they eventually reached the school, it was huge. They had just made it in time for 3rd period, which was lunch for the both of them. An early lunch, but whatever. everyone stared at Marshall, everyone looked like Bubba, pathetic, with straightened ties and tucked in shirt. Marshall, for the first time ever felt out of place.

Bubba then walked him over to his friends, who sat on the roof of the school. They were all, clearly,  nerds, they talked about equations, and stuff. Marshall didn't really pay attention until a kid said, "Marshall.... Marshall... you want to play truth or dare?"

Now that was a suprise to Marshall, these nerds wanted to play that game, maybe they weren't to big of nerds after all. "uh... sure..." Marshall reponded.

The same kid then asked Marshall, "Truth or dare."

Marshall thought for a second, considering, they didn't know anything about him he responded with, "truth."

The kid thought for a second until someone whispered in his ear and the kid nodded excited. "is it true... that... you were kicked out of your last school?..." all the kids looked at the boy who asked Marshall and chuckled then looked at Marshall , waiting for him answer.

Marshall sighed, they really were nerds, it couldn't be helped, but Marshall had to tell the truth, "sort of... I was accepted to this school, and expelled from the last, at the same time."

Everyone stared at him shocked, and Bubba held his arm, why was he doing that? Marshall,  really wish he'd stop. "He's so cool," they all muttered to each other, except Bubba. Bubba was now leaning his head on Marshall's shoulder. Marshall looked down at him, not sure what he felt about this boy, "what are you doing?"

Bubba jumped and looked at Marshall. A blush then appeared on the boy, Bubba didn't remember putting his head on Marshall's shoulder, how embarrassing. Bubba kept silent,  not able to think of an excuse. Marshall sighed, "come here."

Bubba slowly stepped towards Marshall, his face still completely red. Marshall pulled Bubba towards him to speed him up and whispered in his ear, "I don't mind your head on my shoulder."

Marshall had made his decision, Bubba was super cute. Well the others looked like just nerds, Bubba, was a cute type of nerdy. Bubba blushed more and put his head on Marshall's shoulder as everyone else seem to be busy, still playing "truth or dare?".

Bubba then grabbed Marshall's arm, smiling a bit. Bubba then looked at his watch and let go of Marshall, as Marshall, then felt the need for Bubba to continue to hold on to him. "oh gosh it's almost time for our next class, don't want to be late," Bubba said.

Everyone got up and scrambled to get to there lockers. The rest of the school day, Marshall couldn't stop thinking about Bubba, it was a shame, the only classes they had together, were gym, which Bubba usually skipped, and lunch.

After school ended though, they walked home together, already knowing from this morning that they lived close to each other. Bubba then asked, "How was your first day?"

"Okay, I guess," Marshall shrugged his shoulders.

Bubba smiled, "well I really enjoyed having you at school today."

"Yea?" Marshall stared at Bubba and rubbed his neck.

Bubba looked at his eyes and froze, "yea."

Marshall just stared at him and kept silent.

"Well... my house is right here," he looked at his house, "see you tomorrow then..."

"Yea see you tomorrow..."

Bubba walked up to his house as Marshall, watched him go in side. After Bubba made it inside, Marshall ran to his house, awfully fast. For the first time in a while...

Marshall was smiling.
