The Color pink Pt. 21

The Color Pink Pt. 21




Marshall sighed as he sat Gumball down on the outside bench. It was quiet, except for the babbling water coming from the beautiful court yard fountain behind them. The only light shining on them was the stars and the full moon. He was extremely nervous about what he was about to tell him. He gently took his princes hand, preparing to tell Gumball the truth.


“Gumball I..” Marshall tried to say, but couldn’t finish. He took a deep breath as he looked down to his feet.
“Gumball I casted on you!” He breathed quickly, looking up to the prince.


The prince looked at Marshall confused, raising an eye brow.

“You..Casted on me..?” Gumball asked.

Marshall stood up and sighed, pacing back in forth in front of Gumball. He ran his fingers through his hair before answering.


“Im not sure how to put this...” He sighed.


Gumball said nothing, looking at Marshall still confused.


Marshall sighed again and stopped pacing. He gently shrunk to his knee’s in front of Gumball as the prince was still sitting in the bench. The vampire gently took his princes hands in his, before looking up into his eyes.

“When a vampire is born, they automatically are given a vampire that is called their promised. No matter what, that they are bound to for life. They are their anchor, to hold them to this earth. Without finding your promised, a lot of the time a vampire will become a killer, a crazed blood seeking monster..”


Gumball bit his lip as he tried to comprehend what Marshall was saying. He nodded for him to continue.


“Usually, your promised is another vampire. But every once in a while, a persons promised is something different. Something more fit for them..”


Gumball felt his cheeks blush at the realization of what Marshall was telling him.


“When you turned 13…” Marshall felt a lump in his throat thinking about what he was about to say, and tried to swallow it down.
“When you turned 13, I casted on you. Which is what happens when you see your promised for the first time or one comes of age.”


Gumball cheeks heated.  
“So..so you knew I was your promised when I turned 13..?” the prince asked.


Marshal sighed embarrassed and looked down to the ground.
“I still remember the day like it was yesterday. You were being officially crowned of age in the Candy Kingdom. Everyone was there, cheering your name. I heard the cheers as I was walking by in the forest, and got curious about what was going on. I went to the ceremony, and looked up and it hit me. As soon as I saw your young smiling face..my body went limp. It was almost as if I was hit by a truck. I had heard so many times through my royal family growing up about being casted. So many vampires go throughout their whole lives without meeting theirs. They always have said as soon as you see them, you know it. They say it’s the most passionate feeling you could ever feel. And it was. It was almost an out of body experience. Except I was furious, and confused. I knew it had to have been a mistake. I wasn’t attracted to men. I never had been. I tried to simply ignore it. Act like it never happened. But ever since that moment, every single time I saw you, or heard someone mention your name Gumball... I swear. I could feel my un-beating heart race. I tried to lie to myself deep down. Date other people. Sleep with other people. But I could not stop thinking about you. I finally realized that my whole being really was bound to your soul. You ended up controlling my life. My whole world revolved around you Gumball, and I didn’t know how to deal with it. Whenever I saw you, I got angry. I got angry at you for doing this to me. For controlling my life. For making me have such perverted thoughts for a man. But I still wanted to talk to you. Deep down, I wanted to tell you. To hear you felt the same way about me.."


Marshall took a deep breath, and gently laid his head in Gumball’s lap.
“You know I was betrothed to Madeline. I had been before I met you. I had just put it off for so long, because I knew she was not the one. I knew one day I would find my promised. Like my parents found each other. But so many hundreds of years went by. And I didn’t find you. So I was arranged to marry. Years after that, I casted on you. I put it off for as long as I could, but eventually a date was made. I knew I could not marry her, knowing I was so madly in love with you Gumball.."
"Do you remember the night I came to your house in the pouring rain..the night I confessed my love for you..?” The vampire asked, looking up into Gumballs eyes.

Gumball looked down at Marshall with tears in his eyes. He couldn’t speak, so he just nodded yes.

“I went to your house so many nights before that as you were growing up. I would just watch you in your window, sleeping so peacefully. The night you turned 18, I had a dream about you. A dream I was kissing you, and feeling your beautiful body. It felt so right. I woke up with chills in my body. My hollow chest physically hurt. I couldn’t take it anymore. And at that very moment I knew that there was no way I could marry someone else if for one chance, you could love me too. You were of age now. And I had to tell you. So one night, at 3 in the morning. I confessed it to you. When you started crying, I couldn't help but pull you in my arms. I had imagined doing that so many times Gummy... Every single time I saw you stressing out about your duties, or seeing you upset I just wanted to pull you against my chest. And I finally got to. I wish I could explain how right it felt..And I realized, I cannot live without you Gumball..I don’t know why I ever tried..”


Marshall gently brought Gumballs hand to his face, closing his eyes and sighing at his touch.
“Everytime you touch me Gumball..I feel alive. More than I ever have..” The vampire whispered, looking up a to his prince.
“And when you kiss me..”
Marshall couldn't help but be drawn to Gumballs sweet pink lips as he looked up at him. He cupped his princes face in his hands, and kissed him passionately, feeling a tear roll down his cool cheek. He would never get used to the way Gumball affected him. He gently pulled away, pressing his forehead against the princes.

“Gumball I just had to tell you this. I didn’t want to scare you away, but I couldn't live my life without you knowing any longer. It’s not fair to you..”

Gumball shook his head in tears at Marshall’s words.

“Marshall I don’t even know what to say..” He sobbed.

Marshall felt like he had been stabbed at the sudden words, and looked away pained, starting to stand up.

“I understand..I’m a monster..I can understand how you’re frightened by all of this..” The vampire breathed, trying to hide his pained dark eyes.

Gumball looked to the vampire confused, and quickly pulled him back down to him.

“No Marshall Lee, you don’t understand.”

Marshall looked up to Gumball silently, confused.

“Im at lost for words because I can’t believe it..” Gumball said, looking down into his vampires now wet eyes, cupping his face in his hands.
“I can’t believe that this beautiful creature..was chosen by something I will never understand, to be bound to me.. I don’t know what I ever did to deserve any of this Marshall. But I am so lucky, to be your promised.”  

Marshall looked up to Gumball shocked.

“So you’re not afraid of me..?” The vampire asked.
“Of how…dominated I am by you..?”

Gumball laughed through his tears, and shook his head.

"Marshall Lee Abadeer, you know I feel the same way about you..”

Marshall sighed and shivered slightly at the sound of Gumball saying his full name. He wiped his princes tears away, shaking his head.

“Gummy, honey..” He whispered, looking to the ground.
“You will never know how strongly I feel for you.. I was made for you. My whole life revolves around you. Gumball I am entirely obsessed with you..”

Gumball felt his heart race. He gently tilted Marshall’s head back up to eye level with him, and whispered.

“Show me then..”

Marshall Lee felt his whole body tremble at Gumballs words. He quickly brought Gumball’s face to his, kissing him hard, like he had been waiting forever. Before he knew it, he found himself unbuttoning Gumballs suit, wanting to feel his skin against his. But he quickly remembered something, and pulled away from his lips.

“Wait.” The vampire panted.

Gumball looked to the vampire confused, as he tried to catch his breath.

“So..you’re accepting the fact that you, Gumball, are my promised..? That I myself am casted to you for life..?” The vampire asked embarrassed.

Gumball felt his cheeks turn red, as he nodded.

“Yes..I mean I still can’t believe all of this..but of course Marshall.” He breathed.

Marshall bit his lip, and took Gumballs hand in his as he was leaned down in front of him. He reached around to his back pocket.

“Then, there was another part to me confessing this to you.. I have a question Gumball.” He stammered, slightly embarrassed.

Gumball looked to the Vampire confused, with his heart racing.

“My Prince Gumball, w-“

“OH GUMBALL I FOUND YOU!!”

Both Marshall Lee and Gumball stood up, at the sudden yell of a young girl.

“I was looking forever! I need to talk to you..Now.” Candy said, crossing her arms as she stood in front the startled men.
