We do not own SVTFOE

"Always getting stuck with the crappy jobs to do around here…" Marco was cleaning up the mess after Star's birthday party. It wouldn't have been bad if everyone didn't bail out on him…

It was a little over 2 am, the group left one by one back to their own homes, well all but one.

"Hey Marco… you need some help?" Kelly asked as she picked up a cup from the ground.

"Oh h-hey… I thought you left already?" Marco looked up the green hair girl with a tired look on his face.

"I was thinking about it but had to ask Star a few things and then I saw you down here still" She walks up to him as he pulls on a ribbon that was hanging off the ceiling.

"What… grrrrr… were you- aaaaahhhhhh!" The ribbon was tougher than he thought, pulling it with all his strength wound up with him falling back and landing on top of Kelly.

"Ugh, why did Star have to use magic on that…" He was trying to rub the back of his head and felt something warm and soft behind him. Marco couldn't put his finger on it, whatever it was and decided to cup and squeeze it a few times.

"EEEEP!" Kelly nearly jumped out of her skin as her cheeks turn red, seeing how he kept feeling her up, she was lying on her back on the ground with Marco between her legs as he was laying on his back also.

His head was smack in the middle in the valley of her breast, Marco was trying to use his right hand and rub the sore area behind his head. It didn't really work out seeing how something got in the way and he couldn't figure out what it was until he grabbed it a few more times.

"Wait… that's your…" Marco jumps off her and slips on some cake that was on the ground.

Kelly sits up holding her chest tight seeing Marco covered in cake, she starts to laugh at him, "You okay? Looks like it hurt."

There's a good chance he's going to have to see a chiropractor after this, he looked up to her as she was upside down in his view. Then he realized his feet were in the wrong place. "This hurts a lot more than it looks… could you lend me a hand?"

"Okay," She giggles a little more and helps him back on to his feet, there was cake all over him.

"Oh man… it's even in my ears…" Marco pulls off his hoodie and starts to clean himself off.

"You still got some back here." Kelly pokes at the back of his head.

The hoodie was useless now, without thinking, he pulled off his shirt to get the rest of the cake off. "I quit… you need me to open a portal for you?"

He turns to the girl, her face was redder than before. She got a good look at his back muscles, but the front was even better seeing how his chest was coming in nicely with his six-pack.

What really got her was the V lines showing with how his pants were hanging a little loose off his body.

This last bit of cake is removed from him and he sees her almost drooling, "Ummmmm… did I do something?" Marco looks around him and checks to see if his fly was open.

"OH SORRY?!" Kelly yells out loud and turns around.

"It's okay, so about that portal?" He pulls out his scissors.

"Ummm if it's alright with you… I would like to spend a little more time with you…" She couldn't believe she was going through with it.

"Hey wait up Star!" Kelly runs up behind the Princess before she walks into the bedroom.

"What's up? Marco is downstairs opening up portals for you guys to head back home, something happen?" Star asked really wanting to do nothing more than to lie on her bed.

"I wanted to talk to you or more like ask you a few questions…" Kelly kicks at the ground not understanding why this was such an issue to her.

"Sure come on in, what's on your mind?" The blonde jumps on her bed and looks up at her friend.

"Look… don't get mad when I say this, can you promise me that?" This could end badly for the girl wearing glasses if she didn't set up ground rules.

"Why would I get mad? How long have you known me now Kelly?" That was a true statement, it takes a lot to get Star mad, but she could never feel like that with a close friend.

"I know, I know it's just… this might be crossing the line. Look… are you keeping Marco around just in case things don't work out with you and Tom?" Star's eyes fired wide open as she was about to say something.

"Just hear me out first… everyone knows how close you guy USE to be and I say use as in the past tense. Lot of us were sure that you and Marco were going to be together one day, some of us even called you guys Starco." The Princess face softens up a little after hearing that.

"But after he got with Jackie and then you tell him you had a crush and that whole Ludo thing… something changed with you guys. Marco doesn't have that fire in his eyes anymore when he looks at you…" Kelly was running of the list with her fingertips.

Star looks down at the ground knowing everything she said was true.

"You do understand Marco put his life behind him to be with you, right? I guess he figured out his feeling too late, I don't know what happened on the beach that day we all went out. It had to be something to make him feel this way now." Kelly looked away from her.

"What do you mean by that?" Star raised one eyebrow in the air.

"When you gave him that hug today, he looked so uncomfortable about it. I guess when it was just you guys, he didn't mind the closeness but seeing how you're with Tom now. It puts him in a bad spot and it doesn't help that you guys don't really hang out anymore and Friendship Thursday isn't even a thing anymore"

Each word was hitting Star's heart, she knew everything was true but if she didn't put space between them.

"Marco understands that I want to be a better Princess for Mewni-" She thought she had a great way to fight the conversation off.

"Which is why you made him your personal squire which is a fancy word for slave with the way you treat him. You guys used to have so much fun just by doing normal things, now it's more of you telling him what to do… where's Marco at right now?" Kelly knew she was right when Star jumped at the question.

"He's cleaning up the mess we all made because you told him too… I just wanted to ask if you would mind me spending more time with him? Marco is a great guy and I don't want him to regret coming here… besides hanging out with you, only other person that even knows who he is Hekapoo and me… that can't be good for him…" Star didn't know when she started to hug he knees but everything that was said hurt so much to hear.

"Kelly…" She hated having someone else tell her the truth about what she's doing to him, she was trying so hard to make things work with Tom but the way Marco makes her feel.

"I would understand if this makes you mad but if no one tells you, then one day he just might leave without a word said to anyone" She turns to the door knowing her answer.

There were tears in Star's eyes "Kelly… if… if you hurt him…"

"I'm not planning to do anything… I just want to get to know him more and hang out, I'm still rooting for Starco" With that, the door is closed behind her.
