"So, what should we do now ?" Marco asked
It's the most normal question a normal person would ask in that specific particular situation. Star and Marco were inspecting their surrounding intensly as every citizen, knight, and any other mewman whose body was baloonified were returning to their previous form. Sign of relieve and happiness were shown on their faces. But reality struck back at them,
"What will happen now ?" He asked again, this time he locked his eyes to Star's eyes. Expecting some real good answer from her. Silence then joining them at that very moment until she started to move her lips
"I don't know" It's not the answer he wanted and she knew that very well. She wouldn't given him some random respond if that could turn everything much worse than it already was.
Wind blew around them as they tried to accept the reality they took part in. Their faces are facing into each other, eyes were locked not straying to other place except the person they cared the most. Hope, wish, desire are poured into that awstruck stare for like an hour. Right now they almost lost everything they had, and to close their distance is the only thing that would calm their trainwreck heart. And by close, it means to remove any obstacle between their lips.
"Eh guys, I'm still here" Tom appeared out of nowhere,or maybe they just didn't see him existed
Realization hit them so hard that they jump and almost tripped from the debris around them. Red blush were shown on their faces as they tried to hide it with some nonsense babble to distract Tom's attention, and they're clearly fail at it.They're really bad at it
"Ehtomwhat'supmygoodfriend" Marco's speech are turned into some kind of gibberish. Tom raised an eyebrow to his statement and confused by it.Of course he is
"Yeahwhatcanwedoforyou" Star added additional words to directly defend Marco. That surely didn't help at all and Tom just stand still, calculating the best way to approach his friends.
"Something's obviously are happening between you two and I want you two to come clean, now" Tom just threw away his deep calculation and asked them the most logical question a boyfriend would have
"I uh...we...were...hugging?" Marco raised his shoulder and peek to his side to search for backup from Star, but she was blacked out after retrieving the memory she had just done.So much from a friend
"Uhuh...that doesn't sound very convincing" Tom narrowed his eyes "Speak clearly" He tried to intimidate him and pull the answer he was waiting for
"We're going to kiss, Tom. I'm sorry" Star took Marco's place in that almost frightening conversation...ok it was really terrifying. Instead of a fire ignited face and lava watery eyes, Tom's face turned into a calming smile but accompanied by sad eyes
"Nah, no need to be scared. I know this all along anyway, especially after that bluff-turned-truth Marco just did" Uncomfortable peace joined them right after that "Well this is getting awkward, well I'm just gonna leave you two here and ... do my stuff back in the Underworld. Uhm...bye" and he left
"That was real anticlimatic" Marco rated this low-rating ongoing story
"Yeah, I agree" Star agreed "I mean what will happen next, it's not like my mom will suddenly come back from who knows where. And every problem we have will be solved under a day" she laughed over a somewhat high-probability sequel to the story
