Marco sighed as he adjusted his hat. Of course Star had gotten into another mess, it wasn't Unusual but he'd prefer to not have to save her (Even though it would get him closer to her on his counting sheet.).
He looked around silently it was surprisingly easy to sneak in undetected especially with the mask his father had given him which for some reason made it hard for anyone to figure out his true identity. It didn't take him long to spit them, considering
that Star stood out the most from where she was dancing with Tom on the dance floor. 'dammit Tom...' He thought his fists clenching, it wasn't that he had a crush on her, no...He thought about her like she was his sister. His crush on Jackie had
even been a rouse he wasn't exactly what you'd call straight, but we should get back to the story at hand.
Marco moved slowly slinking around the crowd quietly trying to remain unseen, which wasn't hard most people that were in the room didn't want anything to do with him and he didn't have a problem with that, it just made it easier to get Star away from
Tom.
"Thank you for coming to the dance with me Starship..." Tom said with a small smile as he danced with the blonde.
As soon as he made it close enough Marco had slipped Star away and into a small dance. "Star." He said softly to her.
"Huh?" Tom blinked a few times in surprise at the loss of the girl in front of him, as soon as he processed what had happened he snapped his gaze to the two. "Hey!" He yelled as his gaze hit Marco, he didn't recognize the Mexican teen.
Marco glared at him through the mask and stopped dancing. "Star its me Marco, and I need you to stay here."
"Marco?"
"Yes now don't move." Was all he said before turning to face the three-eyed demon.
Tom frowned and approached him. "What do you think you're doing? I was dancing with her!"
Marco just glared at him standing his ground. "She doesn't like you anymore Tom. Can't you just deal with that?"
"Marco..." Tom growled. "Of course it would be you to ruin everything!"
"And you're the one trying to force Star into a relationship!" Marco yelled back.
"why you little..." Tom grabbed Marco by the collar of his shirt and his eyes turn white.
Marco tensed and swallowed had, he was scared even trembling. 'this is it...Im gonna die...' He cringed waiting to be hit. Tom raised his fist, he was about to hit Marco when something odd happened. The light from the Blood Moon shone on the two, Tom
stopped mid-punch and he lowered his fist setting Marco down. His eyes went back to normal, his expression. Softening.
"T...Tom?" Marco asked wide-eyed, fear present in his voice.
'What the...' Tom was quiet, he didn't even know what was happening he moved his hands, one resting on Marcos hip while the other took one of his hands.
"Tom what a-are you doing?" he asked tensing a bit.
Tom only ignored Marcos question pulling the other into a dance. After a second Marco relaxed a bit resting his free hand on Tom's shoulder, as they danced a small unnoticeable smile crossed onto Tom's face.
Marco himself ended up falling into the dance he closed his eyes at one point, Star smiled as she watched even she had to admit it was cute.
That is until the kiss.
At the end of the song Tom dipped Marco with a smile, his eyes seemed to be glazed over with what could only be described as love, and Marco, who was caught up in the moment leaned in causing Tom to do the same and they kissed.
Marco rested his hands on the others chest as they stood straight, Tom opened his eyes only to see Marco and immediately push him away. Marcos eyes opened and his face flushed beet-red as he came to terms with what had just happened.
Tom on the other hand was only worried about Star. "what the..." he looked around and spotted her, she was smiling and clapping silently. 'No...nononono!'
"YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" Tom yelled his eyes going white as he stared at Marco.
Marco himself was visibly trembling. "t-Tom I'm sorry I just..."
Tom balled his hand into a fist as Marco winced punching him straight in the stomach, Marco stumbled back and fell into stars arms. She looked up and shook her head disapprovingly at Tom, she was staring narwhals at him. Tom painted out Of anger as Star
looked down at Marco.
"Marco? You OK?" she asked only getting a pained groan in reply.
"BOTH OF YOU LEAVE NOW!" Tom spat, he didn't want to look at them, not even Star.
They obliged star helping Marco up as they left to Ball...
