Marshall Lee x Reader x Prince Gumball Part 7

It was now 4o'clock on the dot, you guys had been setting up the ball for a couple hours and had finally finished! Fionna and Cake had just left to go get make up and hair supplies from the treehouse, so Fionna and you could freshen up.
You took a seat at one of the many pink seats and let out a sigh and lightly wiped a small amount of sweat from your forehead, "So Gumball, what's this ball for anyways?" You looked up at him as he fixes his gummy hair.
He lightly puffed his hair and then used his thumb to straighten out his eyebrows, "The Biennial Gumball Ball!" He made his way over to you and sat next to you, his smile wider than ever. "By the way, I don't think I ever mentioned how ravishing  you look this evening." He gently grabbed your hand and brushed his lips against it.
You blushed a deep crimson and pulled your hand away, clasping it in the other. "Well thank you! Um this ball seems to be a large event huh?" You were curious as to how much of the kingdom was invited, or was it only those of noble standing?
"Oh yes (Name)! So. Very. Large." He lifted his forearms up and down, as though to show how large it was. A certain vampire's ears perked up at this sentence and floated his way over to stand behind where you were sitting.
"So very large huh? Please do tell me 'Prince' just what might be so very large? Other than something I have right in this room..." He grinned devilishly, as he said that last word you swore you felt him lick your neck. You blushed furiously and shivered, even if he hadn't licked you, you got chills, knowing what he meant by that last sentence.
Gumball's face was red from anger and embarrassment. "How dare you speak that way in front of a lady! Then again..." Gumball squinted his eyes, "It is to be expected from a child of the nightosphere." Gumball spit his words out like poison.
You looked to Gumball and stood up. "Don't. You. Dare. Don't speak to him like he is scum of the universe! He is just as much a being as you are! Maybe he isn't a candy person, or human or anything else, but he is still here! He still has feelings and I will not let you talk to him that way!" Your nostrils flared a bit, Gumball looked astonished.
He was extremely embarrassed to be yelled at by a girl, but above that he couldn't believe what he was thinking. 'Look at her... She's so sexy when she's angry... What the fling flong am I thinking?! She's sticking up for that brute!' He thought to himself. He stood up, his brows furrowed and leaned over, getting in your face. "Well I'm sorry! Sorry that you are okay with this... This... This barbarian talking around you like you're trash!" Marshall threw his arms into the air as he yelled at you.
You couldn't believe your ears... You didn't mean to get Gumball this mad, you just wanted him and Marshall to get along. Your eyes teared up a bit and your breath got shaky. You backed away, bumping into Marshall. "I didn't mean to upset you.. I... I just..." A single tear rolled down your face, you quickly lifted your hand to wipe it away, but Marshall caught the tear before you could.
Marshall turned you around and pulled you into him, the finger with the tear was being smeared on Gumball's face. "And I'm the barbarian? I may be inappropriate but I could NEVER make a girl cry." His words pierced Gumball, making Gumball's stomach drop. He turned around and walked away, his gummy body beginning to heat from anger. You lifted your face from Marshall's chest, his eyes gone batty and a low hiss leaving his mouth as Gumball left the room. "Fucking coward..." Marshall lowered his face to yours and lifted your chin to look at your eyes. "Well your eyes aren't watery anymore so that's good." A soft smile on his lips, he pushed your bangs out of the way and placed a light kiss on your forehead. "Are you okay?"
You blinked at him for a second and just nodded your head. "Um is my makeup messed up?" You look up at him trying to see your reflection in his eyes.
He let out a chuckle and wiped his thumb under your eyes. "Well just a little hehe" he showed you his thumb, which was covered in black eyeliner and silver eye shadow.
You let out a low grown and tilted your head back, "Good thing the party doesn't start until 8." You smiled at him and walked over to a mirror and wiped the smudged makeup off with a tissue and threw it out. You took off your heals and walked around the pink carpeted ballroom, doing a couple twirls and giggling. After 20 minutes of talking with Marshall, Gumball came in with Fionna and Cake.
Gumball came up to you and looked into your big (e/c) eyes and held your right
hand gentley. "I'm sorry for yelling at you, and Marshall," he lifted his eyes
and directed them towards Marshall. "I'm sorry for saying such vulgar things to
you. We may not be the best of friends but you deserve more respect than I give
you." He let go of your hand and reached it out to Marshall. Marshall raised his
eyebrow and cautiously shook the hand hanging before him.

~Unknown POV~

"So that little thing thinks it can steal Marshall AND Gumball from me? I'll
make sure that never happens... No one comes between me and what I want..." An
evil cackle left the pale and chapped lips that were outside a window.
