Marshple | Forgiveness

Object_Paradise Here ya go, hope u like it!!!


Apple's POV


Wha...? Why is Marshmallow here? Hopefully she's just here to talk... Then again, she threw a rock at my window. I'm just hoping for the best.


"M-Marshmallow?" "Hi Apple! Hey, could you come down here? I want to talk to you..."


"Oh, um, s-sure!"


Ok, so far so good. Just a talk. Nothing more. Yep, just a regular, friendly talk! Nothing special- oh, who am I kidding!? I really want this talk to be something special. Ok, I love Marshmallow! I loved her ever since we became friends again, I didn't want to lose her!! And then Marshmallow started to hate me again in, what? Episode 6? Yeah, episode 6! I was heartbroken! I didn't know why, or when, or whatever! And then she hit me with a mop in the very next episode, and she looked so happy to see me gone! Nothing could ever hurt more, not even when I was cut in half! But I kept holding on to her. In the hope, when one day, I could apologize for whatever I did to make her so mad at me. I think that day is today. Or tonight.


I don't think I was thinking, I just jumped down from my room. Oh, and might I mention, my room is, umm, 7 floors up! Yeah, that was a dumb move.


Before I hit the ground, I feel something catch me, and there's a soft, high pitched grunting sound. I open my eyes, and I see Marshmallow holding me, bridal style.


"Ermm"


"Hi..."


"Well this is awkward.."


"Heh heh, umm"


"I think you can put me down..."


"Oh yeah, right."


Good thing I'm red, or else Marshmallow would see me blushing like crazy! Blushing, she gently set me on the ground, and I got back my balance.


"So, wh-what did you call me down here for?"


"I just want to talk."


"Ok, what did you want to talk about?"


"This might still be a touchy subject for you, but it's about how I treated you after episode 6. I know I accused you of betraying me, but I've recently found out, um, the truth. I-it turns out Bow possessed you, made you say all those things to me. A-and then I w-was, I was so awful to you!! I bl-blamed you for something you di-didn't do, and, a-and..."


Suddenly, Marshmallow falls to her knees in front of me, crying and sobbing, I can't even make out half the words she's saying anymore! Marsh... No, don't do that to yourself, it's not your fault Marshmallow...


"Apple, I...I...I'm so sorry Apple, I was so mean a-and horrible, a-and you di-did nothing wr-wrong!! I'm so sorry Apple, I-" "Marshmallow, please." I kneel down beside her and hug her. Not too tight like last time, but tight enough so that I hold her close to me.


"Marshmallow, no, it's not your fault, it's okay, I-"


"NO!!" She suddenly cries out. "NO, IT'S NOT OKAY!!! I WAS SO MEAN, I WAS SO HORRIBLE TO YOU, AND YOU DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!! I'M THE WORST FRIEND IN THE WORLD, I DON'T DESERVE A FRIEND LIKE YOU, YOU ONLY WANTED TO PROTECT ME, AND I........I......."


Slowly, she lifts her face up, her eyes have a red tint in their outsides, and tears are streaming down her soft, white face. I can feel myself tearing up too, my vision is getting blurry.


"I don't deserve anything."


I broke. I can't stand to hear Marshmallow talk like this!! No, she's worthy of so much more, don't talk like that!!


I collapse onto Marshmallow, sobbing and holding her. I feel my tears swiftly sliding down my shiny, red surface. I don't want Marshmallow to be soggy, but I can't help the tears falling from my eyes. I feel a different set of tears running down my side and a soft, high pitched wail. Marshmallow.


I clutch her, not wanting to let go, in fear of losing this moment, in fear of losing Marshmallow again. Like all those other times I held her. Yes, caring for her and fear of losing her were part of the reason I always did that, but there was another reason too.


I love Marshmallow.


Wait, did I already say that?


We stayed like that for a while, holding each other tightly, until I heard Marsh stop crying. She looked up at me, eyes really red, and said this.


"Apple, why do you still care about me? After all my accusations, you still treat me like a friend. Why?"


"Marsh, I," Ok, this is it. Before wasn't the right time, but now is.


"Marsh, it's because I, I, I love you."


I don't know what came over me then, but I did something that I normally wouldn't do.


I kissed her.


I brought my body closer to hers, and I kissed her with as much feeling as I could. She looked surprised at first, but she kissed back.


Eventually, I let go. We were both blushing madly, I even prepared myself for a storm of shouting! What Marshmallow said next, I was not expecting.


"I love you too Apple."


Oh. My. Apple juice. She loves me back!? I feel so happy right now!! Actually, happy isn't even the right word for this! Uhm.... OVERJOYED!!!! Yeah, that's right! I'm overjoyed!!


And so, I sat there, smiling like a goofball. Marshmallow was smiling too, but then she said, "Hey, Apple? Can I ask you a question?"


"Yeah, sure!" "Would you like to, uh, move into Purgatory Mansion with me?" Move in with Marshmallow? Absolutely!! Duh!


"Of course!! I'd be happy to!"


"Wait, really!?"


"Yeah! We're technically girlfriends now, right?"


Marshmallow chuckled, oh my apple juice, it's the sweetest thing I've ever heard, and said, "Mansion's this way. Let's go!"


She stood up, and held her hand out to me, smiling. I took it gladly, and we walked to our new home, hands clasped tightly together.
