GB POV

I quietly slipped back into my room.
There he was, sprawled out under my covers. His hair was strewn about all across the pillows. It was weird to actually see his face so calm like this. His mouth hung open and a line of drool dribbled out onto the pillow. And his skin was still so sickly pale! I kinda felt creepy just staring at him like this, when he was so vulnerable.

Whatever.

I walked away from him and went strait into my bathroom. I stripped of my swim trunks and my tshirt. They both smelled of chlorine. Urg!

I ran a shower and let it warm up. While it did so, I went out to my closet with my towel around my hips.
I grabbed some sweatpants and a pink sweater.
As I walked back to the bathroom Marshall shifted around under the covers. I walked faster.

After a much needed shower, I felt so much better. My body felt cleansed of all the disgusting germs that manifested in those pools. How nasty.

I walked back out, my hair wet and flopping in my face.
Marshall was missing from his spot in my bed.

"Marshall? You still in here?" I speak to a silent room. That is, till a soft set of footsteps sounded from inside my closet.
Out stepped Marshall Lee, rocking a baby pink long sleeved v neck I had in the back of my closet. I covered my mouth to hold back a chuckle.

Marshall turned around in a circle and looked and me expectingly.
"Well? How do I look?" I burst out into a fit of giggles at that, and he snickered.

"You wear it better than me!" It was true. His filled out shoulders and lightly toned arms made it look very appealing.

He rolled his eyes and smiled, and went to sit next to me on my bed.

We sat in silence for only a moment before my mind caught up to me.
"So, please do tell me about yourself. You seem quite....interesting?"

ML POV

I chuckled and hummed for a moment.
"I'm not really as exciting as everyone thinks, really. I graduated yesterday. I'm a boring adult now." I laughed and continued.
"I turned 19 today too. What an accomplishment, am I right?" He giggled and nodded. It felt so wrong to lie to him. Though I barely know him, it was just an awful feeling. He clearly trusted me. And I don't need to ruin that.
I'll always be 19.

"I just turned 17 last month." He sure looked it. Those puffy cheeks and bright blue eyes definitely said he's never had the true stress of being an adult yet. The poor kids probably never even had any stress at all by the looks of it!

He stared at me for a while, as if searching me.
The silence killed me. Well...it would've. If I weren't already dead.

"Heh..."I laughed at myself. Bubba seemed to be startled back to life when the small noise escaped my lips. He perked back up and raised a questioning eyebrow at me.

"Are....you laughing at me?"
I rolled my eyes playfully and smirked.

"Well there's a small possibility that I am..." he playfully punched my arm and stood up, unamused.
I followed him with my eyes as he walked over to his window. The second he opened the curtains I flinched back behind the covers.
He looked at me weirdly and opened it.

The sun was just setting, barely hiding behind some houses in the back of the neighborhood. I relaxed a bit.
Bubba opened his window wider and hoisted himself out on to his roof. What?
He looked at me from the outside of his window.

"Wanna come out side? The suns almost gone!" He pointed behind him at the sun that still mocked me. I nodded.
I cautiously stepped out off the bed and followed him outside. The sun still made me tingle a bit, but I'm a tough guy.

GB POV

Marshall stepped outside slowly, sitting next to me on my small roof.
I always got a thrill being up here. Pepper would kill me if she knew.

"So, why we out here now then Red?" Marshall looked at me from the corner of his eye.
Red?

"What? Have you never wanted to sit and watch the sun set before?" Marshall must've never lived before.
"And why red? I'm in pink?"

Marshall laughed and smiled widely at me, he teeth pointed at the corners made me cringe slightly. Ow?
"If I called you Pinky it would sound gay." I stared at him,dumbfounded. Did he not know who he was talking to? Hah..

"What's wrong with being gay?" I fiddled with the cuff of my sweater. I don't even know if I said it loud enough for him to hear.

Marshall shook his hands defensively.
"No no! That's not what I'm saying man. I just uh-" I cut him off by hovering my hand over his face.

"It's whatever. But if it offends you, the ground is down there." I stood back up, and gestured to the grass below.

"Uh-no no! It's cool." Marshall defended himself and scratched the back of his head. He looked up at me and frowned.
"I hooked up with this really cute guy years back, totally not against that kinda stuff.." Marshall mumbled to his knees more than me. Awkward silence stood between us for a long while.

A faint clink was heard behind me and I turned. There was Fionna, waving to me from the other side of her window. Oh Fi...
I waved back and gestured down to the sulking Marshall lee that sat next to my feet on the roof.

Fionna opened her bedroom window and she fisted out a bottle of who knows what.
That's the Fi I know and love.
Always wanting to do stupid stuff.

I nodded and waved her back into her house before one of our neighbors saw.
Turning back to Marshall I kicked him lightly.
He looked up at me.

"Do you want to do something tonight?" I knelt down to him. His face immediately burned up.

"Uh-NO! I mean like I know I totally just said I did stuff with a guy but I'm not really uh wants-" my eyes almost shot out of my head and I shook my face quickly, cutting him off again.

"Nah nah not that kinda stuff! I mean, would you like to hang out? Fionna just invited us over, incase you missed her." I pointed to her across the street. Marshall shook his head with a confused smirk.
We both went back inside and I left the window open.

ML POV

After that obviously embarrassing conversation I'm surprised I even felt up for sticking around much longer. Red walked over to his desk that stood on the other side of his room and dialed a number into his phone. He turned back to me and made a 'shoosh' noise as someone picked up on the other line.

He sat next to me on the bed and talked to the person on the phone. But soon hung up and turned back to me with a shit eating grin.

"I'm going to sneak out tonight. Fionna has liquor at her place. Care to join?" I'm taken aback with the offer. This boy has only known me for the past what? 4 hours? And he's asking me to go get wasted with him?
.....but dad did tell me to never turn down free liquor.

I quickly smirked back at him with a nod.
He bounced excitedly on the mattress for a second before he finally came out with the game plan.

"Well like, I'm not allowed over at Fionnas after dark because we got caught drinking a couple summers ago so we have to be REALLY sneaky. Got it?" I laughed and nodded. He was making this out to be some kinda secret mission.
"I'll tell Pepper you're going to stay the night, if that's okay with you I mean, and then we're going to wait for her to go to bed and we'll jump off the roof. Okay?"

               "But why are you inviting me." I raised an eyebrow at him. He shook his head and scoffed.

              "If I have you here I'll have better chances of getting away with it." Bubba wiggled his eyebrows and smirked. What a goof..
