*Author's Note* Hey all; this is a new story I'm doing for Star Vs. The Forces of Evil, a show I can't stop watching. For real, Marco and Star have crazy chemistry together. Consider this my "Gone in a Flash" for this show. I hope you all enjoy!
Star was curled up on the couch, the blanket pulled up to her chest. She smiled at Marco as he entered the room with hot chocolate, pouring some into her mug.
"What did you say this was again, Marco?"
"Hot chocolate, Star."
She tilted her head. "But… it's a liquid. Chocolate is in bars and stuff."
"Well," Marco said as he finished pouring the steaming drink into his mug, "we're creative like that."
"But-"
"Just try it, Star. You'll love it," he said with a smile, sitting down.
She leaned over and sipped the drink. "Oooh! Hot!"
"You okay?" he asked, leaning forward concerned.
She smiled at him toothily. "Yeah, I am! It's really good, so sweet."
He smiled at her. "Told ya you would like it."
She turned back to the window, peering out at the snow falling down outside. If it wasn't so dark out, they would be running around out there.. instead, Marco had other plans for their night.
"And… there we go!" she heard him say, and rolled back over excitedly.
"What we watching, Marco?"
He hit play. "Elf, it's a holiday movie."
She smiled, pretending to know what holidays were.
"They're special days we celebrate for each season."
She nodded, still slightly confused.
"Am I supposed to be celebrating something specific, Marco?" she asked quietly.
"Nah, just enjoy the season." He gestured towards the fireplace and cocoa in front of them.
She made a silly face. "Is the season always so coooold though?"
"Normally, yeah!"
Star hopped out of her cocoon of blankets, and grabbed Marco by the arm, startling him as she did so. She pulled him over to the couch, and sat him down.
She snuggled up next to him and pulled the blankets over them. Marco still looked stunned, as half a second ago he was sitting on the couch.
Star smiled softly to herself as he relaxed and she eased into his side.
She liked this time of year after all.
I hope you all liked it. I will not be accepting requests for this series, but feel free to give some suggestions. Thanks for reading!
