Once Bitten Twice Shy (Marshall Lee x Reader)

7: To Listening In!

"I like your black fur." Fionna noted as she handed you your drink. Baring your fangs, you sucked the red out of the liquid and quickly set it down.

"Ugly." You shrugged.

"No, girl!" Cake waved her hands dramatically. "You look so punk! It suits the Vampire Queen!"

"He didn't even ask." You frowned. "He bit me while we fucked."

"Language!" Cake stretched her hands over Fionna's ears.

"I can handle cuss words, Cake!" Fionna swatted her away. "And that's so rude! I'm surprised you said you would marry him then. Why were you even together?"

Are you going to tell them? Marshall Lee thought as he watched through the window, completely invisible.

"I love Mawshee." You side-stepped the question.

No. You won't give him up then. You won't admit what he did to hurt you to someone else. The invisible vampire shook his head. It was frustrating that you would protect him, but at the same time, you afforded him equal rights. But that was starting to not feel like enough. He needed to be the best in your life. So what could he do to convince you to give up everyone but him?

"That's a change in attitude from the last few times we spoke!" Cake noticed.

"Not really. I always loved Marshall Lee. I was just scared of him biting me. And then, he bit me so now there's nothing to be scared about."

So she thinks, I suppose. Marshall thought to himself. I have been doing a lot of... killing.

"I guess that makes sense..." Fionna looked hesitant. "Did you hear about all those banana guards that Marshall Lee found? Gumball thinks it's a serial killer or a wild animal... Now that's scary!"

That's me. Marshall sighed silently.

"No, I haven't heard. I've been trying to learn how to be a vampire. Privately." You avoided eye contact.

"Yeah, where have you been?" Cake asked.

"I was embarrassed." You sighed with your tail twitching in irritation. "I didn't want to be a vampire. And then I couldn't resist Marshall and ended up being one anyway. I should have just said yes all those hundreds of years ago. Waste of time, really."

"Don't you like having dated other people? And you both grew up, right?" Fionna asked, sipping her own drink.

You stroked your tail to calm down as Marshall smiled a wicked smile. It felt wonderful to hear you say that you wished you had stayed with him all those years. He could work off of that. He wanted to make sure you continued to feel that way.

"Yeah, I suppose." You shrugged. "Bring me more juice, please."

"Jeez, YN, fine!" Fionna laughed as she stood up. "What a way to ask!"

"Are you going to have kids with Marshall Lee then soon?" Cake inquired.

Marshall Lee's ears also perked up. He hadn't been brave enough to ask that yet, but he was curious as well.

"It's something to do, isn't it?" You shrugged with ambivalence but your tail gave away your excitement with its happy wagging. "It'll happen sometime."

"Soooooon?" Cake teased.

"Shut up cat." You blushed. "You're embarrassing me."

And me a little bit too... Marshall thought.
