Description
Eyes fluttered open, finding themselves staring into gray, flawless skin. Slender, strong arms were wrapped around her protectively, and she knew as well, possessively. She smiled, remembering how long it took her to convince her partner to actually lie in bed without floating. Her work had taken at least a month, and it was a tough feat especially for the vampire, seeing how it was a habit. And now, now she found herself rewarded every morning.

She looked up, her fingers gliding over the cold skin. Her jaw, chin, perfectly sculpted cheeks...beautiful lips. Fingers lingered there, running across the bottom lip, remembering how they worked wonders during the night. They would always bite, nibble and smother her passionately, hungrily. The vampire was always the impatient, hungry one. But last night...last night was different. She was gentle last night, taking it slow to build up the intensity, the passion, the meaning. It was rare, and the princess loved it.

She rested her hand on the vampire's cheek as she leaned closer to press a gentle kiss on cool lips. They were soft and tasted like...bubblegum. Perhaps they had a little too much fun last night. When she pulled back, she found dark eyes watching her through heavy eye lids. They sparkled with amusement, pleased to find something they liked the first thing in the morning.

"Now that's the ideal way to wake up," the vampire said, her morning voice croaking the way Bubblegum liked it. It sounded like her regular voice during the day when her sentence would end it a low croak, a tremble in the last word that made her heart flutter just the tiniest bit.

"Good morning, Marceline."

"Good morning, Bonnibel."

A kiss was placed on a pink forehead, and Bubblegum stroked a cool cheek with her thumb. Marceline ran her hand through the princess's messy hair, a result of her work last night. She grinned in remembrance, running her leg up against Bubblegum's that were entangled with her own beneath the covers. She was rewarded with a blush.

"Marcelince..."

"Come on princess," the vampire said. "It'll help you wake up."

Bubblegum pinched Marceline's nose who pouted at her. "No, it'll make me tired. I have a lot of work today, Marceline."

"Work shmirt," Marceline huffed as Bubblegum let of of her nose. "Take a break for once."

"I did," the princess pointed out.

"When?"

"Last night."

Marceline rolled her eyes and snuggled closer to her princess, stealing her warmth with a content sigh. The girl needed to learn how to cut back and relax sometimes.

"Peppermint will come in soon," Bubblegum said, trying to pull away from Marceline who only held her tighter.

"Tell him you're sick," the vampire muttered, her cool breath tickling pink skin.

Bubblegum held back a shiver, not wanting to encourage the girl further. She had work to get done no matter how much she wanted to stay like this. A hand shifted from under the covers, running along her hips in a soothing motion. She shivered. So much for holding back.

"Stay," came the whispered word.

Bubblegum sighed. She couldn't deny it. She liked staying here this way. All she wanted to do was to lie in bed all day and do nothing for once. It was all because of Marceline.
