Ch 4 Candy and puzzle pieces

"Hey Star." Tom said softly. Marco was curled up on his arm lightly dozing off. He raises his ears to Star as she walked out of her portal. "I was wondering how you and Marshy are." Star looks away nervously. "Marco and I are doing just fine, aren't we Marco." Tom smirked looking down at a surprised rabbit. "You knew!" Star growled. "Brien told me about my rabbit this morning. I appreciate what you two did but you should have just told me." Tom petted Marco's ears as he lightly glared at Star. Marco nuzzled Tom's hand trying to get his attention, but Tom didn't react. "I'm sorry Tom, i just hate to see you upset."
"Using Marco didn't solve anything. It just prolonged it!"
"What else do you want me to do Tom?!"
"Tell me the true Star. Even if it's hard."
Star growled at Tom's response. Marco couldn't listen to this anymore, he stomped his foot against the bed. The bickering couple noticed. "Sorry Marco. Lets change you back. Bunny to Boy blast!" Marco was surrounded by white light and changed in Toms arms. Marco instinctively wrapping his arms around Toms neck, lightly blushed. "Hi Tom." Tom giggled softly. "Hey Marco." Awkwardly Marco removed his arm. "S-sorry we tricked you." Marco said looking down taking glances. Tom smiled, "It's alright. I had a good time. Thank you. Both of you." He looked up to Star smiling. "Hey Marco, would you mind if I talk to Tom outside?" Star asked. "Of course." Marco jumped up. "I'll just wait here..." Marco sat next to the portal as Star takes Tom's hand and walked him out the door. "Well that was amusing." A voice called from the portal making Marco hop up. "Eclipsa!? What?!" The woman giggled. "Star wanted me to come along. I never imagined it would be this fun." She clapped her hands. Marco rolled his eyes before resting his chin in his hand. Eclipsa climbed out of the portal and sat next to Marco. "Did you have fun being a rabbit? I would think so." She chimed. "I actually did. I missed speaking tho."
"You seem upset dear."
He looked at her is amazement. "I..I'm not."
"If you say so." She mocked Marco's position placing her chin in her hand and exaggerates a frown. Marco smiles. "Why would it matter to you?"
Eclipsa perked up. "Because, your special to Star. And She is special to me." His interest heightens. "She's special to you? If you tell me why I'll tell you what's on my mind." The woman smiles. "Alright deal." She held out her hand and Marco shook it. "So, what interest do you have in Star? What are you planning?" Marco glares. "Come now dear, I wouldn't hurt a fly... without a reason." She laughs. "I find Star an intelligent knowledgeable girl. I can definitely see our relation." "So she's like the daughter you never got to raise?" Eclipsa's mood changed. She covered her mouth and closed her eyes. "I'm so sorry Eclipsa! I didn't mean...!" Eclipsa placed a finger on his lips to shoosh him. "It's alright. I lost my lover and my daughter, and yes Star reminds me of both." Marco nodded in response. "I understand." Eclipsa smirked, "don't keep me waiting. Go ahead what's bothering you." Marco sighed before bringing up his knees and hugs them. "Tom was so gentle to me, I thought he was a hot headed jerk. I was wrong and i feel kinda bad about thinking that way." Eclipsa pats his shoulder. "Well now you'll be better friends now right?"
"I...I don't know."
"How do you feel about Star?"
Marco flashes her a questionable look. "She's my best friend. She gets me and know me better then anyone."
"So you love her?"
"Of course i do.."
"Now how do you feel about Tom."
Marco had to think for a sec. "Well he... at first he tried to use me to get to Star. But now we're kinda chill around each other. We still fight sometimes."
Eclipsa is pretty much starring at Marco. Creeped out he continued. "I would like to get to know him a bit more. If possible."
"Of course it's possible. Now I want you to tell me how you would feel if Star kissed you." Marco was shocked. "I um... it would be nice."
"Now what if Tom kissed you?"
Marco's face began to burn bright red. "W..why w..would he?!"
"Answer the question dear."
He swallowed. "I would probably be shocked out of my mind."
"Would you hate it?"
"No. I wouldn't hate it."
"So Tom is like a bowl of candy to you."
Marco tilts is head. "What?"
"So you enjoy the time you have with Tom. Like taking a piece of candy from a bowl. Sometimes it's sour and something it's sweet but you want more. Am I right?"
Blushing Marco nods, "I guess, but then what's Star."
She had to think about it. "Well, she's like a puzzle piece!"
"Um?"
"Well she's like that to everyone. From my own experience with her, the piece of her in our lives makes us feel more whole. "
Marco nods. "I see"
Star and Tom walked in. Star lightly smiling hugs Tom. "I'm sorry for not telling you about your rabbit sooner." Tom shook his head, "No i'm sorry for loosing my head over it." Marco smiles at the two's interaction, Eclipsa as well. "Well kiddos, I better be getting back before the guards notice I'm missing." Eclipsa stuck a leg in the portal and Star grabs her hand. "I'm coming too! Bye Tom! Call me later!" She hops in behind Eclipsa giggling and leaving the scissors for Marco on the floor. Tom scratches his head. "So um... you gonna leave too?" "Do you want me to?" Tom's eyes widen. "No of course not! I mean... I don't want you to go but I'm not going to force you to..." Marco presses his fingers against Tom's lips to shoosh him. "I know you wouldn't. I think we should talk." Tom wraps his arms around Marco gently pulling him closer. He is pleased with Marco's response of a small squeak. "Tom?" Said boy leaned over and planted a small warm kiss against Marco's lips sending shivers up both boy's spines. "Ok, lets have a little 'talk'." Speechless Marco blinks and pinches himself. "Ouch! Oh my god I'm awake!?" Tom giggles. "Hell ya you are."
