The room was empty, except for the numerous personal belongings and furniture. But person-wise, it was as empty as a desert. It was dark too, with the only light coming from the moonlight that made its way through the blinds that covered the window. All in all, it was empty.

Until a man-sized portal appeared dead center in the room with a sound similar to that of someone ripping a piece of paper. It also gave off a bright light that vanquished the darkness of the room.

Seconds after the portal materialized, a boy clad in a red hoodie, dark jeans and sneakers stepped into the room from the other side of the portal. He was later joined by a blonde girl who wore a sea green dress with a skirt, pink and orange leggings and a pair of magenta boots, she also had a pair of pink heart marks on her cheeks.

Once the girl fully stepped into the room, the boy turned to the portal and stuck a pair of scissors that he had been carrying, on the top of the portal, then bringing it down to the bottom as the portal closes like a zipper.

The portal fully closes, and the pair are left in the darkness that once filled the room. The boy carefully manuevered his way around, putting his arms out in front of him as to not accidentally bump into something or someone. After bumping his shin onto a dresser and cursing under his breath, he made it to the light switch by the door and flicked it up. The lights flickered to life and the darkness was once again vanquished.

"Man, Pony Head should really lay off that 'magic juice' stuff." The boy said as he rubbed a hand on his left cheek that was red all over and had a noticable point that drew a bit of blood.

"Yeah, sorry Marco. I forgot how Pony Head can be a bit more... 'Pony Head' on magic juice." The girl said with a shrug. Once the words left her mouth, she stretched her arms outward and let out a loud yawn. Marco grinned, he forgot how cute the girl in front him could be-

'No, bad Marco! You're not going there again. Star and Tom are together, and you're her squire. You're over her, you shouldn't be thinking about stuff like that-'

"Hey, you okay, Marco?" Star snapped him out of his thoughts. He hadn't notice that he was staring longingly at Star with a hint of sadness on his face.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." He waved his hand in a dismissive manner. "Just spaced out a bit, heh."

"You sure?" There was genuine concern on her face now, one he knew all too well.

"Yeah, I'm sure. You should probably head off to bed, it's kinda late." And with that, Star nodded and headed for the door. She stopped halfway and glanced back at Marco. The amount of times she glanced back at him when she got concerned gave him the confirmation of the wordless question she was asking.

"Again, I'm fine, Star. There's nothing to worry about." He ended with a smile, which she gladly returned before stepping out of the room and closing the door.

Once the door closed, his smile fell to a frown as he stared longingly at the door.

'No, I'm not fine.'

It has been months since he decided to stay in Mewni. Ever since, things have changed. One he didn't expect was the sudden reunion of Star and Tom. There were two reasons why he decided to come back to Mewni, one being that he just cannot go back to the way things were before Star showed up, and the other one being the magical princess herself.

Ever since that day she had revealed her crush on him, he felt a number of emotions regarding the princess. But one in particular stood out the most, and that is love. Though he didn't want to admit it, he had developed feelings for her, and he had the idea of coming to Mewni and announcing to her that he returned her feelings. But that plan shattered when he found out about her and Tom.

It hurt him, though not to the point where he would cry himself to sleep every night. She revealed that she liked him only to be back with her ex-boyfriend. Marco thought that she was playing with him, that what she said was just a huge joke. But it's Star, she would never do that, right?

But what hurt him even more was the subtle and creeping notion that she didn't want to be best friends with him anymore. He called himself an idiot for not seeing through the lines earlier. Being squired to Sir Lavabo, how they weren't hanging out as much as they used to, and how nowadays she treats him more as a servant than her best friend.

'A servant. That's all I am to her now.'

He didn't even try to fight back the single tear that rolled down his cheek. He left his life on Earth; his parents, friends, everything, all for something he couldn't have and to be treated lower than he had been. His single tear now turned into streams as he sat down on his bed and covered his face with his hands, his tears slipping through his fingers.

He sat there for a long time, crying all the pain away. He sometimes wished he hadn't been so stupid and stayed in Mewni. Hell, he sometimes wished he hadn't gone after Star when she revealed her crush. But what's done has been done, and there's nothing he can do about it. It's only a matter of time before he breaks down and decides to leave Mewni for good, either announced or unannounced.

He hadn't noticed that he was slipping into unconsciousness and fell back onto the bed, face and hands wet from tears and breath ragged from all the crying. His eyes were almost closed, only allowing a small amount of light to seep through. His mind replayed a few words he had thought before finally succumbing to the sleepiness.

'I'm not fine.'
