I watched as Fionna ran across Ooo with Cake. They were so carefree… They didn't have any worries, like parents, or loves. They just had each other. Ew, okay that just sounded wrong. Cake had that horse-guy. Oh, I'm Marshall Lee. Call me Marshall or Marsh. Most people do.

Okay, so Fionna may not have someone, but she did have a crush on Prince Gumball. That was weeks past, though. Before it all happened. Maybe I should explain from the beginning.

Prince Gumball's ball sucked like lollipops. I was bored like normal and just ended up floating around the whole thing. I noticed Fionna entering and gave her a "yo" sign before floating on. That's when I noticed Gumball leaving with her.

Out of sheer curiosity where the love of my life was going with Fionna was going, I floated out just a little before flying up to his room. Somehow, a battle between the Ice Queen and Fionna had sprung into action, and things had happened. When Ice Queen was powned, Gumball asked Fionna to go on a date with him. Sure, it hurt me, but I knew it would never work between us, so I said to just sit back and watch.

"I think the reason I got all these guy friends, and no boyfriend, is because I don't really wanna date any of 'em!" Fionna stated happily. I almost giggled at Gumball's reaction. Then, when she went on about the Ice King, Gumball finally started inching towards the door. As he left his room, I floated above the castle to watch where he went.

He went towards the balcony. (A/N I know, too much like my other story. Shut the fuck up.) As he sat to sulk, I flew next to him.

"What's wrong, buddy?" I asked nicely. I knew he didn't really like me, but I had to try. He gave another sigh and explained everything that had happened that day. I wasn't expecting the whole Ice queen thing, but I was still supportive.

"So now you know… Go ahead and get annoying." Ouch. That one hurt.

"I have no reason to. I know how you feel, anyways." He looked at me incredulously. I looked back at him, shoving the answer into my eyes.

'I'm not kidding. I have no reason to lie to you, Gumball.' I seemed to say. His expression changed to one of shock.

"Oh! You- You've been rejected?" I gave a sad smile and asked for his hand. He looked at it with a curious and confused expression.

"I'll explain everything while we get away. I can't say it here." He nodded curtly and took my hand. I wrapped my other arm around his waist and we flew off into the night. When I felt like we were far away enough, I started talking.

"I haven't been directly been rejected, but I know I will be and I already am. This person I love… They like someone else. Of the opposite sex, I should say." I could feel Gumball gasp.

"Yeah yeah… I'm bisexual, but I'm in love with a dude. Shut up…" He didn't seem any different. I sighed myself and started flying down to the edge of Ooo, and the beginning of Aaa. When his feet touched the ground, I let go of him. We sat on the grass. He leaned towards me and started questioning.

"Who is it? Why do you assume it's a no? Are you sure he likes someone else?"

"I'm pretty sure he's a straight as a circle, but you never know. He asked this person on a date, and she was beautiful, so yes. I'm pretty sure he likes her." He stared at me with curiosity.

"So who is it?" He asked impatiently. I put a finger to his lips and smiled sadly again.

"I can't tell you…" He huffed and crossed his arms.

"May I ask why not?" He said between calmly and beyond pissed. My eyes started to tear over.

"Because it'll tear me apart." My smiled remained as a tear slid down my cheek. He quickly backed away from the topic and went straight to comforting me. I covered my eyes with my hand and wept as he tried and failed miserably at calming me down.

"Marshall! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to upset you! Please, don't cry…" He started by holding my shoulder, and eventually enveloped me in a hug.

"Does it really hurt that much?" He asked quietly after fifteen minutes passed. I'd calmed down quite a lot. An occasional hiccup here and there, but no more tears.

"… Yes… Knowing he can't- no, he doesn't love you back… It tears you apart…" He held me tighter.

"Well, I'm always here for you, Marshall… I'll ALWAYS be here for you…" I couldn't believe that I was contemplating this. Before I had a chance to chicken out, I'd blurted it.

"It's you." Those two simple words were enough courage for me to look up to stare into his glistening blue eyes.

"What?" I quickly kissed his lips before getting up and walking away. About twenty yards later, he was sprinting to catch up to me. The gap started to close slowly. We were getting closer to Ooo. The yards came to feet, which quickly came to inches, and then he was right beside me, speeding up slightly to stand in front of me.

He stopped. I stopped. My tears were back, and I was desperately trying to hold them back. My face was downcast. I felt an arm slowly envelope my waist, and a hand rest on the small of my back. His other hand came up to my face and slowly drifted from my cheek to my chin. I felt the pads of his fingers gently tilt my downcast head up to meet his eyes. When I tried to look to the side, his pointer finger and thumb ended up tilting my head back to his gaze.

When I laid my eyes on his face, his cheeks were flushed, he was still breathing hard, his eyes were half lidded, and his mouth was open a little as he panted.

"You never listened to my answer. And that boy you're in love with, he does like a girl, but since she said no, he quickly found someone he was sure would say yes. He's hoping they say yes." He stared through me. I blushed. I also realized that he was doing the girl thing where I'm the female. Aw hell no. I grabbed his face and slammed my lips onto his. I slid my hands down to his waist. He slowly slid his up to my neck.

I pulled away and licked his lip before fully pulling my face away from his. He followed my lips for a few seconds before moving back a little. I rested my forehead against his.

"Well he says yes, but he demands to be the man in the relationship." His face was glazed with happiness and a look that I couldn't read.

"He doesn't care as long as they can continue this later." I laughed and nodded. We walked all the way back to his castle where the party surely died down by now. Our hands were entwined all the way there.

I smiled at the fond memory, and went back to my bass, waiting for Gumball to call me.
