It's 10:30 pm. Star is already in her pajamas. She was still baffled by what happened today. She couldn't believe Toffee kidnapped Marco and forced her into destroying her wand, her family's greatest heirloom. But that's not why she was sad. It was something else that was bugging her.
She heard footsteps coming from behind her. It was none other than her best friend, Marco. He was holding a really big bowl of nachos.
"Hey Staaaar! Here come my super awesome nachoooos!" Marco called out. But Star stayed silent, sitting on her bed. "I'm not really hungry, right now."
Marco was shocked. She never ever turned down his nachos.
He knew something was wrong.
"Star, what's wrong?" Marco asked as he walked towards Star and sat next to her.
"I... I'm fine." Star answered, who was trying to hide her sadness from Marco.
Marco looked at Star, who was trying hard not to cry. "Star, you know you can tell me anything."
Star moved a bit closer to Marco. Her eyes were starting to get watery. "Marco... About what happened today..."
"Star, if this is about what happened to the wand..."
Before Marco finished his sentence, Star interrupted him. "It's... It's not about the wand..." Star said, unable to hold back a tear. "Marco... You almost died... Because of me." She said, letting all of her tears flow.
"Wh-what? Star, I-"
Star looked at Marco. He had that concerned look on his face.
"I- I'm sorry, Marco. If... If I never came to Earth... You would've never been in trouble."
Marco was shocked at what she said. "Star... It wasn't your fault. I chose to be your friend. I knew the consequences, but I still chose you over me." He said as tears started to fill in his eyes.
"That's just it! Being friends with me just puts you in danger! Someday, y-you'll get killed because of me!" Star said, letting all of her tears flow.
"I don't care! Even if it means I'm putting my life on the line, I still want to be your friend! No matter what!" Marco exclaimed, Also letting loose of his tears.
"M-Marco..." Star said as she wiped some of her tears.
"Star... I-I'm sorry. It's just that... You're my closest friend. And I wouldn't know what to do... If you weren't here." He said, calming down. "The reason... I don't want you to go... It's because..."
Star looked directly at Marco. What WAS it? Why would he risk his own life just to be with Star?
Marco held her right cheek softly. He wiped her tears off with his hand. Marco leaned in to Star. Their lips touched for the first time. It was their first kiss. Both of them blushed slightly, but soon, it felt like it was normal. As if they've done it before. What was only seconds felt like forever for them. It was as if everything around them didn't matter.
They finally broke the kiss. They looked into each other's eyes. It was... Sothing. Making them feel... Safe.
"I... I thought you liked Jackie." She said, now with a slight smile. A happy one.
"I did. But after months of being friends, it faded away."
The rest of the night, they told jokes and laughed all night. They told stories of their adventures. All the fun they had, and what adventures they'll get into next.
After almost an entire hour, both of them were already sleepy. Star fell asleep right away, but Marco was still awake, looking at Star. He took the blanket and fixed it in a more comfortable position.
"Good night, Star." Marco said, as he hugged her, both now fast asleep. Atleast now, they know what they feel. And they will always be there for each other. Forever.
My first fanfic (oneshot, to be exact) that doesn't contain action. I'm also working on a series of oneshots. Sorry if it wasn't perfect. I have never written a fanfic/oneshot that didn't contain action/anyone dying (lol). See you later fellow readers.
