With Marco

It's been 3 months since Star came to earth and Marco had grown quite attached to the inter-dimensional Princess. He loved her friendly attitude, her warming smile, how childish she was. Pretty much everything about her was perfect to him. He loved how they would always go dimension hopping and fight random creatures along the way.

Before she was around, he was labeled as the 'Safe Kid' who never took risks and was always cautious. Kids would make fun of him just because he too safe. Weird huh? Getting bullied just for not taking risks. He never liked how boring and safe his life was, but ever since she tagged along, his life changed. For the better. Now, he was fighting random creatures from different dimensions for fun. That's right, Just for fun!

Star hated bullying. She would always keep kids from picking on Marco. He never told her to do it, but she did anyway. The bond those two had was nothing anyone has seen before. Even when they fought monsters, or fought off Ludo, they would be in perfect sync. Like they knew what they were gonna do before they even did it.

But now, here he is, in his room. Thinking of a way to tell Star how he really feels about her. What he's been hiding from her for almost 2 months.

"Hey Star, I've liked you for a while now and... No, to stupid. Star, there's something I want to tell you, I think I like you... No that's to stupid too." Marco clenched his fist in frustration. "Why does this have to be so difficult!" He shouted. Star heard Marco yelling so she decided to go see what was wrong.

Star knocked on his open door. "Marco?" Marco turned from his desk to see Star in his doorway. "What's up?" Star walked in and sat in a chair near his desk. "Something bothering you?" She asked in a rather concerned voice. "Actually, yes. But I'm trying to figure out a way to tell you... Without sounding weird."

"Need any help?" Marco turned back turn his desk and leaned his head on it. "Yes, but I can't get help from you. Not this time." Star frowned. "Well why not?" The princess questioned. "Because.. Because, I don't know." Star scooted closer and began patting his back to try and comfort him.

"Come on. You can tell me anything." She pleaded. Marco turned to face her. "Can I tell you after diner?" She nodded. "Sure. But You have to tell me, ok?" He smiled. "Trust me. I will." She gave one of those warm smiles that just melts Marco from the inside. She got up and skipped out of his room happily.

"Gosh, why can't I just tell her." He sighed. "Maybe if I take a quick nap, It'll help?" He said as he lied on his bed. "I'll tell her after diner." Was the last thing he thought before dozing off.

With Star

"I wonder what he wants to tell me. Maybe he'll actually tell me he loves me?" She thought. Little did Marco know, Star has liked him for a while too. "I don't want to make things awkward between us, just because he might not like me back." She sighed.

"He keeps me safe from the bad things. Even though I have a magic wand, he'll protect me. Just like the day we met... He willingly threw himself in front of me and took down the monster running at me. He might not have thought too much about it, but I loved every second of it." She smiled.

She walked to her bed a lied down. "Why does love have to be so... So weird?" She thought. "Why can't it be as easy as fighting?" She closed her eyes. "Maybe I'll confess to him after diner."

Not long after, she fell asleep.

With no one

Star was awoken by Marco about two hours later. "Star. Come on, my Mom finished setting the table." She opened her eyes and turned towards him. "Can you help me up?" She asked, obviously still sleepy. "Sure." He walked over to Star and helped her to her feet.

Both looked at each other. "Carry me?" She made a pouty face and reached out her arms. He chuckled. "Sure. Why not?" He picked her up cradle style and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I could just kiss her!" He thought.

Both had wide smiles on their faces. Marco carried her down the stairs and to the table. "Thanks Marco." She said as he set her down. Marco's parents attention directed towards them. "Is something wrong Star?" Mr. Diaz asked.

"No. Why'd you think that?" Mr. Diaz smiled. "Marco carried you downstairs so I though something was maybe hurting you." Star shook her head. "No. I just asked him to carry me, that's all." In front of Star and Marco, were plates full of pancakes Mrs. Diaz gave to them.

"Best! Diner! Ever!" Marco shouted. He poured syrup over his mountain stack of pancakes and began eating. Star looked at him and smiled before taking a bite out of her stack of food.

Star finished eating before Marco so she decided to head upstairs. She was in her room, waiting for him. "I have to tell him." She was pacing across her room.

Marco just finished so he quietly walked upstairs because he heard Star talking. He planted himself near the doorway, perfect listening distance. "I don't care if he might not like me back. I have to tell him." Marco's eyes widened. Without hesitation he walked into her room and pulled her into a hug.

"M-Marco?" He released the hug and they looked into each others eyes. "You know, I thought what I wanted to tell you would be harder to do, but now I know." Marco said, still lost in her ocean blue orbs. Star blushed. "A-and... What did you want to tell me?"

Marco smiled. "This." He leaned in and kissed her. Star didn't expect what she got, but she loved it. Especially since they both ate sweet, syrup covered pancakes.

Marco pulled away from the kiss after a while. Both were visibly blushing, but they didn't care. "You know, you still didn't tell me." She said, teasing. Marco smiled. "I love you Star Butterfly! From your gorgeous smile to your childish ways, I love you!"

Star's face was completely red now. "I... I love you too Marco!" She said pulling him into a hug.
