Nine
((3rd Person POV))
Marshal brought Y/n to the Candy Kingdom where Gumball is waiting for them to arrive in his Laboratory.
"Hello your highness" Marshal bowed in a seemingly sarcastic way laughing himself calmly from Gumball's annoyed reaction.
"Another human?" Prince Gumball asked Y/n, happiness were taking over his face and it's cleary because of a plan on hand. Which is multiplying the number of human beings in the land of AAA..
"Yes I'm a human.. " Y/n answer with a slight doubt in her eyes.
"Good cause I recently found a male human. Fionna doesn't want to date him but you can" Prince Gumball informed all of them with excitement, yet this brilliant plan of his went downhill after Marshall involved himself in the conversation.
"Your highness sorry to ruin your expectations but this girl is currently going out with me" Marshal suddenly pulled her towards him, wrapping his arms on her shoulders and at the same time,
Y/n's having second thoughts whether to agree with him or not, since they both just met each other. She's about to reject Marshalls plan, when a familiar figure presented himself from the other room..
"Y/n?" Finn questioned while holding onto his wounded arm.
"Oh right Marshal and I are dating!" She suddenly said clinging onto Marshal Lee, changing her decision to finally agree with the plan.
"Is he the reason why you're escaping?" Marshal whispered a question towards Y/n..
"Yes he is. I'm now under your care but no seriousness involved, alright?" Y/n whispered back..
Finn's eyes grew wider before it shuts close, looking away from the two.. But then Finn realized he needs to support Y/n about her new found relationship since he is one of her friends.
"Y/n Don't you think it's too early for that? Not like I disapprove of your relationship with a vampire but.. I'm just worried that you might be having a wrong decision since you two just met each other a while ago, right?" Finn said with worry.
"I.. I fell in love with Marshal at first sight!" Y/n covered the doubts with lies pretending to be a woman who falls in love with Marshall at first sight.
"And I was the same." Marshal shown his usual devilish smirk, kind of mocking Finn from his successful action.
Y/n and Marshal both laugh at the same time with a hint of awkwardness.
"Y/n.. Let me talk to you for a minute.. And Uhmm Marshal please lend me
Y/n for a while" Finn asked the vampire politely as Marshal nodded his head for approval. Finn dragged the girl into a vacant dark room.
"Y/n.. I really wanted to apologize for what happened. Y/n .. I was disappointed knowing that my most trusted friend lied all along and my mind turned bonkers without allowing myself to hear you out first.. It's wrong on my part. I should have listened to your explanation earlier.. I can see why you need to cover your true identity. It's because of your tough past, a reason why it became hard for you to trust others.. I understood.. Now that I heard everything, all the disappointment turn to myself. I'm really sorry!" Finn bowed in front of the listening girl.
"It's alright. At least you understand the reasons now. To be honest I wanna punch your face whenever you're giving me the cold shoulder and ignore my presence. I can't even start a conversation with you back theb. Luckily you understood.. Thanks Finn"
"Say Y/n are you really going out with a stranger?" Finn asked changing the subject.
"Hmp he's not a stranger anymore, he protected me a couple of times without even knowing me!" Y/n covered for Marshal, it is the truth after all. But then Finn's expression grew more lonelier as he lift his hand, cupping Y/n's cheek, stroking her hair gently.
" I should have protected you... " Finn said in a sad tone with pain written in his eyes. Then the door slammed open, revealing Marshal so Finn immediately retreated his hand from Y/n's face.
"Y/n. Let's go have some lunch" Marshall entered the room interrupting the two.
"Oh sorry Finn. Wanna come with us?" The vampire added to avoid suspicion of whether he intentionally ruined the moment or not.. But he did.
"No thanks , but Y/n?" Finn asked .
"Yes?"
"Can we still be friends?"
"Of course we could!!" Y/n sent him a heartwarming smile before Marshal started pulling her out of the room.
As the two comes out of the door, they both see Fionna entering the room where Finn was in.
"Finn!! I'm going to tour you around the land of AAA!!" Y/n and Marshall can hear Fionna from a distance.
---------------------------------------------------------
((Finn's POV))
After all the incident, my disappointment towards Y/n disappeared, just like that. She's right, why did I forgot the fun times with her? I've only seen the bad sides and I regret all of it now..
I regret being weaker, I regret not accepting the food she made, I regret avoiding her and I regret being mad at her...
"Say Y/n are you really going out with a stranger?" I asked, hoping they were just pretending a minute ago.
"Hmp he's not a stranger anymore, he protected me a couple of times already!" Based on how she reacted, she's definitely telling the truth.. As a friend I need to support her..If she still thinks of me as a friend though...
Without thinking my hand found its way to Y/n's cheek.. I don't know why but since the moment I've seen Y/n's true form, I can't help but to admire her.. She's strong and all but knowing she's a human, I want to protect her. No matter what the circumstances.
" I should have protected you... " The words slipped from my mouth..
Soon Marshal took Y/n and I was left in the room alone. Glad to be friends with her again but....
Why does my chest ache so much?...
----------------------------------------------------------
((3rd Person POV))
"Finn!! I'm going to tour you around the land of AAA!!" Fionna came barging in the room with Cake trailing behind.
"Thank you but can we do it tomorrow?"
"Why Finn?"
"I'm a bit exhausted"
"Oh I see.. Hmm.. How about you live with us Finn? We can hangout for a while till we figure out how to bring you back to the land of OOO" Fionna offered some help to Finn who kept spacing out now and then.
"Okay Fionna. That's a good idea" Finn forced a smile on his face.
"Woah you really do need some rest Finn" Fionna pulled Finn by the hand noticing the pretentious smile he gave her.
After an hour they arrived in Fionna and Cake's tree house. The two owners of the house immediately offered their favorite food and Finn gladly accepted.
While consuming the food on the table, Cake asked a few questions about the land of OOO especially Finn's brother, Jake. Since he is her opposite gender after all.
One thing caught their attention for a really long time, is the fact that this handsome boy Finn seems so emotionless. Fionna noticed it first so she dragged her somewhere silent, outside the tree hous and near a small pond , where only the sound of crickets breaking the silence. They both sat down on the grass, looking at their reflection through the water.
"You know Finn. I'm really happy to finally meet my other self from another dimension and can't believe I was as handsome as Marshal.. Shhhh don't tell him though.."
"Hehehe thank you Fionna"
"But obviously Finn.. I know myself, means I know you too.. And I'm sure something is currently troubling you.."
Finn did not respond, instead he maintained his own silence, hugging his knees while looking down into the grass.
"Hey Finn. What do you think about Y/n? What are your thoughts about her?"
"Well.. She's a nice friend.. She's beautiful, smart, strong, funny and... I can't seem to appreciate a day without her... Without her I felt so misplaced"
"I think you love her.."
"W-what?!"
"Have you ever felt like you wanna play BMO with her, eat pies with her, hug her or kiss her?" Fionna hit the bullseye..
Finn remembered the time when Y/n was lonely, he tried comforting her till he end up hugging the girl. Then another memory flashed in his mind, Y/n's trying to break his curse by kissing her.. He remembered how he kissed back.. Those moments when he thought Y/n left, Finn was so happy to be with Cherrina as if he had given his full trust on the cherry girl without knowing it was Y/n in disguise. Probably the reason why Finn realized Fp's stubbornness is because of the fact that he wants to protect Y/n and he likes her...
Everything already proves the fact that he already loves Y/n for a long time.
"Fionna, you're right!" Finn's fighting spirit went back, appreciating Fionna's comfort.
"Go to her now Finn! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Fionna cheered for him as he gave her a real smile now, before running away to find where Y/n is..
----------------------------------------------------
((Finn's POV))
How can I be so blind?! I liked her all along yet I never realized it till now. Currently my mind is filled with her and all the emotions she has shown me.. I just need to tell her.. No matter what reply I get.. Even if she rejects me, I'll just have to try again till she finally notice my affection, even if it takes forever.
I knew exactly what direction leads to Marceline house, but this is the gender bent dimension of my world so it means the places are the same.. I may find Y/n there..
At long last, Marcelines boy version or should I say, Marshal Lee's house finally appeared into view but before I could arrive there, I need to pass through the garden of yellow flowers.. I suddenly hid behind a tree. Cause..
At the middle of a huge flower bed.. I can see Marshal Lee and Y/n.. Marshal's playing a guitar for her when he plucked one of the yellow flowers before putting one on Y/n's ear then they both started laughing. She seem really happy.. Her smile looks genuine... Is it possible for Marshal to give her more happiness than I could ever provide? Maybe fate shown me this scene in front of me cause of a painful sign ... That I....
I love Y/n but she will never be mine..
And because of my love for her, I need to let go of the tie...
Maybe I will always be her friend and not a partner in life..
I clutched my chest as I feel the pain. This might be what jealousy really feels like. It hurts till I feel tears finally fall from my eyes..
If only I realized and said it earlier.
"Hey pretty boy. Why don't you join me in my castle" I turn to face the girl who was talking to me and was greeted by Ice King's girl version.
"Ice Queen?!" I let out a shout. Tried looking for my sword but I remember how I left it back in Fionna's tree house.
"Finn?!" Y/n and Marshall approached us since my shout was loud enough to have caught their attention.
I tried escaping from Ice Queen's tight hug but then she freezed my body, lifting me up, flying away from the two, probably bring me to her cold castle .
-------------------------------------------------------
((Y/N POV))
After the talk with Finn back in Prince Gumball's castle, me and Marshall went straight to the flower garden, hanging out. Luckily Marshal's house is a few feet away from it so he can retrieve his guitar. Marshal let me sing while he play the instrument, it sounded like we're in a complete harmony.
"So that must be your boyfriend, Y/n?" he asked me after he stopped playing for a while.
"Huh? No we're just friends!"
"Really? Cause you seem like you're trying to make him jealous, so I helped you some more"
"Yeah for that thank you. You're an amazing new friend of mine"
"You surely need to treat me as a Boyfriend right? Since you did declared that an hour ago"
"I told you not to be serious about it, silly" I hit his arm while he's floating
"What if I told you I'm serious" Marshal Lee floated closer towards me and I can't help but to feel surprised about it.
"Just kidding" He then laugh hysterically and I ended up laughing along with him.. He started playing the guitar again, picking up one flower and he gently placed it on my ear.
"Now you look like a flower vase" He said and we started laughing again.
Soon we heard a scream from a distance .. To my surprise it was Finn. We both immediately head to his direction but we're too late. The Ice Queen already brought him somewhere.
"Finn!" I shouted.
"Y/n.. Stay here. I'll go get him."
"No. I think it's best for you to stay here. She might end up marrying both of you.. Right now the most possible solution is to fight her magic with magic.. And that's what I have, not that powerful but enough to free Finn.."
"Can you really do it?"
"This is the right time to brag about myself. All I want you to do is bring me there. Alright Marshal?"
"Okay . You're such a pain sometimes"
"Sorry I'm born with it" I grinned at him before he stooped down to carry me along the way.
After a minute we arrived inside the castle, I forced Marshal to leave, since I can't let Ice Queen see him cause I have this strange feeling I need to roleplay my part for Finn's freedom.
"Hey Y/n.. Take care, alright? Make sure you come back in one piece" Marshal strokes my hair before leaving.
"Does that dude has a crush on me?" I said blabbering nonsense before searching Ice Queens castle.
Luckily I found them easily. Finn is locked up in one of the strong cages, while Ice Queen's trying to attract him with her song but to be honest it doesn't sound nice.
"Hand over Finn , you crazy Pedophile old hag!" I screamed barging through the door with style.
"And why would I do that?.. Finn is seriously single and I by far the most beautiful girl in this dimension"
"Oh I see but I hate to disappoint you Ice Queen but Finn is already married. He has four sons and 5 daughters.. " I tried my best lying , just to make her lose interest of Finn.
"Is that true darling?" Ice Queen asked Finn who is currently blushing like a tomato after hearing what Y/n said.
"Y-yes!" Finn answered with embarrassment in his expression.
"Oh well then. I shall give you more children darling" Ice Queen tried kissing him but Finn continue to dodge her kisses.
"Hey Ice Queen, I'll tell you now.. I'm his wife.. We have nine children but you know what's disappointing? Everynight Finn would Pee on the bed like a child. He always vomit whenever he's having a meal with someone and his sweat smells like shit.. Just wanna warn you about those before you plan on marrying him. Since I did gave up on him cause of those reasons.. Oh wait, there are more.."
"Stop!! Alright go and take this nasty fella out of my kingdom!! Before it gets smelly here!!" Ice Queen gave up without me even activating some of my magic.
Finn immediately approached my direction, grabbing me by the hand, pulling me along.
"Y/n .. You owe me for the embarrassment a while ago"
"Well Finn let me just remind you that I saved you"
"Let's call it a truce then" He laughed while running.. His grip on my hand feels tight but kind of gentle, I can feel respect in his actions..
We finally got out from the castle and at a distance I can see Marshal waiting for us..
"Hey Y/n, and Finn.. Fionna called. She said the two of you should stay in her tree house. Sorry Y/n, she doesn't want us to sleep together" Marshal winked at me.
"Stop joking Marshal" I punched his arm again.
"Ow! You're too strong" Marshal squirmed.
"Good night Y/n"
"Good night Marshal"
"Good night, the two of you" Finn said as he walks away from us.
"Wait Finn!" I followed him behind..
------------------------------------------------
((3rd Person POV))
Y/n and Finn's currently eating the food, Cake made for them. They were all having a great time talking to each other. They cleaned up the dinning area before preparing their beds.
"Hey Finn and Y/n.. Uhmm is it alright if you two sleeps here in the living room? The bed rooms are quite full tonight since we're arranging some stuffs" Fionna asked with concern.
"It's okay " They both said in unison.
"I'll get you some pillows and sleeping bags. Wait here" Fionna said before climbing upstairs.
"Thank you for saving me a while ago" Finn give his thanks to the girl beside him. They both sat down the floor, leaning their backs against the sofa while Finn eventually hugged his knees..
"I brought your pillows and sleeping bags" Fionna said placing the items on top of the sofa..
"Good night Fionna" They both said in unison again.
"Good night Finn and Y/n" She giggled before climbing upstairs again..
In the meantime Finn is preparing the sleeping bags for the two of them, he arranged everything and turned off the lights.
"Thanks Finn"
Finn smiled for her in return. He removed his hat, laying down on the sleeping bag before facing Y/n's opposite direction. Y/n lay down her sleeping bag , facing the ceiling.
"Y/n?"
"Yes Finn?"
"What do you think about the land of AAA?"
"It's as amazing as the land of OOO. Only difference is that the citizens likes me here in the land of AAA."
"I see. Are you not planning to return in the land of OOO?"
"Finn. I'm not sure. Except for Marceline, most of the girls there hates me and it's probably cause of you Finn.. They all likes you. Maybe they're jealous of me"
"But you don't have to worry about that Y/n. I'll protect you from them"
"Finn what am I to you?"
"Well you first. What am I to you Y/n?" Finn already knows the answer yet he's still hoping for a different one.
"You're a very amazing friend Finn" Y/n knows Finn treats her as a friend.
"Then Y/n.. What do you think about Marshal?"
"Well. He is handsome, cool, talented, friendly, a little sweet, matured and he's manly"
"How about me? What do you think of me Y/n?"
"Well you are in fact friendly, caring, sweet, playful, optimistic, but mostly cute and childish. Sometimes I think of you as a little brother hahaha" Y/n laughed hysterically even though they can hear snoring coming from upstairs, everyone is already sleeping except for them , yet Y/n still have the courage to laugh like that.
"Little brother huh?" Finn towered upon Y/n, his knees on both sides of
Y/n's legs and his hands are placed on both sides of the ground near Y/n's face. He trapped her, staring at her face as his yellowish hair sways with the wind, making him more dazzling under the moonlight and the stars reflected on his blue eyes...
Y/n is panicking a bit, her heart is drumming like crazy and she can't move out of pure shock..
"So I'm your brother huh Y/n?" Finn slowly leans forward on Y/n's face.
The girl cant move at the moment, as Finn's face went closer and closer,
Y/n's eyes unintentionally shuts close. She's a bit suprised thinking Finn might try to kiss her.
Soon she heard a chuckle coming from Finn so she finally open her eyes. He was smirking at her as if he won a battle.
"You should have seen your face!" Finn started laughing but then Y/n grew annoyed, she kneed him but just like what happened to Marshal Lee, Finn also fell on top of her.
They were both surprised to notice their faces being an inch far from each other.
Finn immediately stood up scratching the back of his head.
"Sorry" Finn apologized to Y/n before laying back into his own Sleeping bag..
This time Y/n can't probably sleep..
