The Color Pink Pt. 6

Gumball gasped at the taste of Marshalls lips. He had almost forgotten how intoxicating they were. He tangled his fingers in the vampires hair pulling him closer, pressing his body against his. He needed him. All too soon, Marshall pulled away. He pushed the hair that had fallen in Gumballs eyes away, and looked in his princes eyes tenderly, painfully.
"Gummy, I'm so sorry. I love you so much. Please forgive me for everything."
Gumball felt a tear roll down his cheek as he stared into his beautiful lovers eyes. He simply pulled the vampires lips back to his, letting him silently be known that he had forgiven him. The love they made that night was perfect. The prince rested his head on Marshalls chest and sighed, closing his eyes.
"Marshall, never leave me."
Marshall felt his eyes weld up with tears at the words his precious prince had said.
"Never." He replied.

Gumball woke up with a familiar pain in his chest. He grabbed the nearest pillow and clutched it to him, trying his hardest not to cry. This was the fourth time he had had this dream since he had told Marshall to leave him. It was killing him inside to be without him. Everyday, all he could think about was Marshall. What he was doing, how badly he craved his touch. He caught himself many times wanting to go to his house, just to see him. But he knew he couldn't. He wasn't strong enough. As soon as he seen him, he knew all of those feelings would come rushing back, and he would not be able to contain himself. He was doing what was best. His kingdom needed him, and he owed it to them to settle down one day with a princess and start a family so that there would be an heir to the thrown. His stomach turned at the thought of being with anyone else but Marshall. He sighed and looked out the window. It was almost getting light outside. He knew he was awake now, so he decided to go ahead and get up. But all he could think about was Marshall. He decided to go for a walk. Maybe that would calm his nerves a little.
Silently, Gumball tip toed down his stairs, trying not to wake up Peppermint maid. He didn't want to answer any questions. He walked out of his kingdom, passing his Gumball Gaurds.
"Just going for a walk." He simply told them.
He decided to walk around in the woods. They were always calm at this time of day. He was enjoying the scenery when he heard a noise. It almost sounded like tin being smashed together. Alarmed, he walked towards it to find out what it was. As he got closer, he noticed a purple figure in front of him.
"Prince Gumball, is that you?!?" He heard a very familiar voice say.
"Oh My Glob!. What in the world are you doing here?" Lumpy Space Prince said.
Gumball sighed out of relief that it was just him.
"Oh, hello LSP. Good morning. I was just talking a walk." Gumball replied.
"Oh, well thats.. exciting." He replied.
"I just found this lumping can of beans! Can you lumping believe that?! They were just sitting there in the dirt! I am So Pumped! Would you like some?" LSP asked.
"Oh, no thank you Lumpy Space Prince." Gumball answered, a little disgusted. "I appreciate it though."
Gumball looked a little closer at LSP's attire. He seemed to be wearing a sparkly purple suit, with a golden broach in the shape of a star on his chest.
"May I ask what you are dressed up for?" Gumball asked politely. He couldn't possibly wonder why he was dressed so nicely, just to be in the woods.
"Well DUH! Isn't it obvious! I just had this outfit made. Isn't it lumping gorgeousl!" LSP bragged.
"I had it made for Marshall's reception party. Pretty bummed that we can't go to the actual wedding and all. Not that I would want to go to the Night O Sphere though. Yuck!" LSP continued.
Gumball felt his heart drop. He shook his head. He had to of heard him wrong.
"Ma…Marshall's wedding..?" He choked out.
"M…Marshall Lee..?"
LSP looked at the prince like he was stupid.
"Yes Marshall Lee! Who else?! How haven't you heard? It's going to be the biggest thing since.. Since anything! Mhm, he met  himself a nice vampire princess I heard. Heard she's gorgeous too-"
LSP kept rambling on but Gumball wasn't listening. His pulse was accelerating, and his knee's weak. He should have known this would happen. The only reason he had called off the wedding was because of himself. He all of a sudden got extremely jealous, which he had no reason to be. He was the one that broke it off with Marshall in the first place. But the thought of him in the arms of another made him sick to his stomach.
"LSP WHEN IS THE WEDDING?" Gumball heard himself blurt out, cutting off LSP's rambling.
"It's lumping today! That would be the reason I'm wearing this lumping beautiful ensemble. Duh." He replied.
Gumball turned around and ran. Tears were pouring down his face as he ran through the woods. Branches slashing him in the face, making little cuts. But he didn't care. He didn't even seem to notice. He ran to his castle, opening the doors and slamming them shut. He fell to the ground, burying his face in his hands, bawling. How could he get Marshall back now? Even if he begged for him back, he couldn't go to the Night O Sphere. Just the thought terrified him. He was crying so hard that he was gasping for air. He about fell over when he heard a voice, and footsteps running down the stairs.
"Prince Gumball? Is that you? Oh sir, what is the matter?" Peppermint Maid came rushing down the stairs to Gumball. She came to him and wrapped him up in her arms as if he were a small child.
Gumball cried harder, burying himself in her arms. He needed the comforting from someone. He needed to talk about it. He didn't even care what she thought of him anymore.
"M…Marshall is getting married." Gumball managed to choke out.
"Mar…Marshall is getting married, and I love him!"
Peppermint maid looked down at Gumball shocked.
"You... love him?" She asked confused.
Gumball blushed and tried to calm himself.
"Y…yes." He managed to say.
"We were together, but.. but I broke up with him because I didn't want the kingdom to judge me because I was gay. But now I don't care, and it doesn't matter because he is getting married!" He sobbed.
She was quiet for a few moments. She continued to hold him, rocking him softly, and finally sighed. She walked away for a few moments, leaving Gumball confused and alone. When she came back, she motioned for him to follow her. He got up, and followed her into the cellar below the kitchen. He gasped at what he seen, and slowly backed away.
"W..What is that?" He asked, staring at a portal in the wall.
"This will take you to the Night O Sphere." She said softly, almost regretfully.  
"Marshall will be getting married there today, soon. If you love him as much as you say you do, then go my prince. Just please, be careful."
Gumball was speechless. He wasn't expecting this kind of a response from her. He suspected she would go off on him for choosing to be with a man. But she loved him regardless. He ran to her arms, and hugged her tightly. Tears falling from his eyes.
"Thank you so much." He said as he hugged her.
"You have no idea how much this means to me."
She simply smiled and hugged him back.
"Ive raised you since you were a baby Gumball. Did you really think something as silly as you being gay would chase me away?"
He couldn't help but laugh at this. He never really thought about it that way. He owed her so much, and somehow he knew he would repay her.
"Now, here. Take this with you. It is an invisibility cloak. They don't just let anyone into the Night O Sphere." Peppermint maid said, handing a strange looking fabric to him.
"Go in, go past the bone guards. Keep going straight, do you hear me? No matter what. You''ll find a tall castle with a red flag. That is where Marshall's wedding will be. Go in, find him, and come home. He will be able to bring you back here."
Gumball nodded nervously. He couldn't believe he was doing this. He wondered why Peppermint maid knew all of these things, how she even opened the portal in the first place. But it wasn't important right now. He kissed her on the forehead, and put on the cloak.
"Thank you so much again." Gumball said before he walked into the portal, into the Night O Sphere.
