A/N: Hey hey! Well, I guess it was just a matter of time before I started writing fanfics for this fandom as well (huge shout-out to jolleIQ for giving me the main reason to actually watch this show). As always, I hope you enjoy them, guys!
I don't own Star vs. the Forces of Evil. Star vs. the Forces of Evil belongs to Daron Nefcy and Disney. That applies to every chapter.
Let's be honest - he didn't like her at first.
From the first moment Marco saw Star, he could tell she was weird. Not that he minded - he was best friends with Alfonso and Ferguson, who weren't exactly typical people themselves. But she was a different kind of weird... As far as he remembered, when he saw her, she was biting something.
So at first, he was rather skeptical about becoming friends with this hyperactive, terrifyingly optimistic, non-stop-grinning blonde. She was always excited about literally everything: electricity, paperclips, phones, locks, music boxes, billboards, magnets, new people... and this was just the tip of the iceberg. Besides, apparently she was a magical princess from another dimension, and as the "safe kid", he preferred to be cautious. Who knew if it didn't mean danger? So, he simply acted neutral towards her, hoping the situation would quickly solve itself.
Marco's attitude changed quickly. To be specific, he found Star at his house, announcing happily she was going to live with them. He would have to deal with this rainbow-loving girl every day? How come?
But then, she created those laser-eyed puppies.
And then, she cast some weird spell on his room.
He. Was. So. Done.
So he just left, to let off steam, but kept reliving recent events. How could she... burst into his life like that?! Without any warning, just... appear out of nowhere?! He was cheesed off, and the worst thing was, that's how he thought it would end - with mutual antipathy, awkward "good mornings" and "good nights", and quarrelling over who spends too much time in the shower. He rolled his eyes at the mere thought of it.
But then, at the supermarket... was the first time he saw her without her signature grin. It was an indescribable change... As if some light went off inside her. And it was his fault. Yes, he felt guilty - he didn't realise he had been so harsh and ostentatious in his behaviour. All in all, Star didn't do anything wrong. Chaotic, yes. Wild, yes. Sudden, yes. But not wrong. She seemed like she had good intentions... he guessed. So, he decided to apologise, but he wasn't able to.
Because then, to make this situation even weirder, they had to fight a bunch of monsters who showed up out of the blue. He, along with a magical princess from another dimension, fought monsters.
Can this day get any wilder? he thought as he knocked down another enemy.
But every cloud has a silver lining. Apparently, a good battle with evil creatures can be surprisingly bonding; because when the duo defeated them, Marco looked at Star in a completely different light. Suddenly, he saw a confident (maybe even dangerous) girl, capable of handling the most peculiar situations; a picture so glaringly different from what he had noticed at first. How could he ever not tell her that he wanted her to stay?
Of course, hearing this, she burst out with joy. No, it wasn't the right word. She literally beamed with happiness; he had never met anyone whose feelings were so... real, almost touchable.
Well, this is going to be interesting, he thought as he watched her grin.
"Hugs!" Star suddenly exclaimed and threw herself at him, squeezing him. Marco smiled. It seemed that the situation was finally settled. Much to his surprise, he realised he was glad she wasn't leaving. It was going to be fun, living with this tornado of positive energy under one roof. He was still a little uncertain as to what this decision would bring, and what consequences he would have to face because of it.
But now, no matter how many times he recalled that choice, he never regretted it.
Thanks for reading and please review, I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
ElleFreak is out, peace!
