Star and Marco were walking together after a long day at had been acting awfully weird lately and Star couldn't help but question why."Hey-um Marco?",Star leaned over his shoulder as they were walking.
"Yeah Star?",Marco replied non-interested.
"Um" Star bit her lip in hesitation."You okay?."Star was unsure what she was doing,she couldn't tell what he might be feeling,then she thought she was the problem.
"Nothing Star,why'd you ask?"Marco turned around to face Star.
Star put her arms behind her back and she began to blush."Well uh,you've been acting very ...what's the word ...moody oh and very distant and quite...you okay?"
Marco looked into her eyes and said he's turned around to continue their following behind him.
Star opened the door"Hello earth home,and hello laser DEADLY puppies!"Star went to her yelled from above "Marco!Ill be doing homework here! Ok?"
"Yeah that'll be fine." Marco always likes to know where Star is and what's she's doing..for safety reasons of reached in the pantry to take out some nachos and have a light snack before his parents came was very quite..never been quite before and Marco mummered to himself."Marco,you're gonna tell her sooner or later,no I can't!You have to! UGH!"Marco slammed is head against the dinner table.
Star called from above,"Marco ?..you okay?"
"Yeah..uh-fine!"
Star went back to doing her homework."Oh dear,he's doing it again..should I be worried?,this is the third time this week..I'm going downstairs."
Star raced herself downstairs and sat next to turned away so she wouldn't see the red mark on his head.
Star frowned,thinking he didn't want to be around her.
"H-hi Marco"Star started the conversation.
"Hey Star,what's wrong need help?"Marco insisted.
Star didn't need help with her homework but she thought it'll make him have something to do.
"Um...yes!,I don't know what the letters are doing with the numbers..are they supposed to be near each other?"
Marco laughed."Haha,yes Star look" Marco reached over Star to work the problem for her and explain it to turned to Star only to find their noses were about to 's face bursted with color,only red in backed up."So um...yeah"
"Wow, thanks Marco!."And Star was off.
Marco said to himself quietly,"Your welcome."
It's been a few hours and Marco still hasn't even started his homework,which was odd to Star.
Marco always does his work before she took his back pack and went surprised he was doing work so walked to his room and closed the couldn't help but face the conflict in his head.."can't keep hiding it forever"
he thought,"She'll find out sooner or later,what am I going to do?"Next thing you know Star bursted through the door,almost knocking it had a half-heart attack due to this.
"Hey Marco!I know you've been acting weird lately so how about going to another..Di-Men-SIOON?"Star mentioned.
"Star!,My parents haven't gotten home yet an-"Star put the dimension scissors in his face,swaying it back and forth.
"Marco..you wanna go to the pixel world?"she mocked.
"Star-I...Ugh ..yes"Marco resigned,He always lost.
"Alrighty!,let's goo!"To another dimension they went.
"Wow,Marco!,that was AWESOME!"
"NO KIDDING!I wasn't a turd at all!"
"Well,Marco I gotta say,it's pretty cool hangin out with you,I'm gonna go to the raining water thing"
"The shower?"
"Yeah..that."
Star skipped happily and Marco was there to watch her.
"Heh she's so cute,"Marco said before he went to his room.
He dozed off to sleep,not even noticing if Star was still showering or did snore a few times,but something awoke him,a terrifying scream.
Marco woke up,"STAR?",he ran to the bedroom she was he saw the girl curled up in a ball,with tears down her you heard close enough,you can hear her whimpering like a pup.
"Hey,you okay?what happened?"Marco sat next to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"I-I had a death dream..",and she snuggled herself up again.
"Sorry ,like a nightmare right?"Marco to be heard was her crying harder."Hey,Star it's not that bad ok?",Marco arms wrapped around hers."I know",she spoke."But I-just-",sobbing began hugged her harder."Hey,Star it's ok,I'll-i won't leave you."Star stopped crying,and broke the hug and faced her."Th-there is bad in this world but-we can't escape from it and y'know?"
Star looked in to Marco's eyes,and saw them gleaming in the moonlight.
"Thanks Marco"
"Your welcome Star"
Today was Saturday and Mrs and Mr Diaz announced at breakfast that they will be gone the rest of the duo turned to see each others reaction in unison.
"Ok mom and dad,I know." "Ey ok Marco I know your a grown boy,but don't forget about tū mojèr",Mrs Diaz said. "What?!",Marco blushed.
"Ok bye!"The both gave them kissed and they left.
"Haha!alright Marco!What do you wanna do?",Star turned towards Marco.
"Well,Star I kinda want a "normal" weekend ok?",Marco said in a shaky voice.
"WHA-pff fine Marco,only because I never had one ok?",Star made it spent the rest of the day watching the "magic mirror"or the tv and eating many junk foods.
"Wow..this is what you do?all the time..why do they call you safe kid then?"Marco turned around quickly."Star I am NOT a safe kid"Marco giggled because she likes to see Marcos anger when she mention that it was getting very late for the two,it was about 11:57 and they were on the gave a big did the commercials were on they like to discuss about it,but when Marco turned towards Star,she fell asleep on the couch.
Marco had to carry her to bed,which was very hard for Marco but thought it'll be a good he laid her on the bed and tucked her stood there for a at the peaceful way she slept,how comfortable she was and how pretty she Marco slowly walked towards her,he made a creak in the floor and woke her up.
"Marco?"Star rubbed her eyes."Is something wrong"and a yawn came out of her mouth.
Marco couldn't think of something at first,then he said "I...was just making sure you were ok,tucked in,breathing-"
"Marco,thanks but you don't have to do that I'm fine"
"I know but uh-"
"Marco can we talk about this in the morning?if your so protective here"Star made room for him to sleep in didn't know what to do,but she really didn't care...she was really tired,so Marco got in the sheets and laid there."Good night Marco"
"Night..Star"
When Marco awoke he turned around and saw Star sleeping beside had to pee, so he tried to get out of bed as soon as that didn't "the safe kid" wasn't safe this time.
"Marco?,why are you on the floor?,and why are you in my room?"Oh she didn't remember,Marco thought.
"Just seeing if you're awake,and know I see you're awake so I'll go downstairs"Leaving Star questioned.
"Man..why did I do that?!,it doesn't matter she doesn't know"
"Don't know what?"Star asked,behind Marco.
"Crap"
"Is there something I should know?,wait..do you know why I was still in my bed and not in the couch?i could've swore I slept on the couch."Star blurted with questions.
"Nope,you fell asleep in your bed"Marco quickly responded.
"And you slept on the couch?"Star really had no clue what happened last night,she tilted her head her head like a confused blushed."Nope..hey want nachos?"and Marco ran to the kitchen to avoid the awkward conversation.
"Yeah sure.."
"Ok,triangle food will be made"
Star laughed at the way Marco made the nachos,like he was dancing."And...done!"
"Wow Marco! They look delicious!"
"Yeah well if you had practice yo-"
Star had ate all the nachos."What were you saying?"Star asked.
"Nothing Star,I'm going to do homework",Marco walked up stairs.
"K I'll be down here watching the magic mirror!"
"It's a tv!"
"Whatever!"
Marco had been in his room for approximately 2-3 didn't have to do much but Marco never took that of curiosity Star walked upstairs to Marco's could hear him talk through the door.
"I mean course!Jackie that's awesome!But I have to watch Star,look I can't leave her alone she'll probably do something wrong like she always does...ok bye"Marco hung up a call from Jackie ,Marco's the other side of the door Star felt hurt."Like she always does",kept repeating in her head,making her eyes tear up so she ran outside to the front porch.
"Hey Star!Jackie invited me to go to a party but I said no because you might be doing crazy stuff like always!"
There was a silence..
"Star?..you here?"
Silence..
"Where could she be?!"Marco checked outside her window,only to see her on the front porch sitting down, looking towards the street.
"Star,why are you outside?"
Star stood up."Why would you care?"Star said angry,hurt,he couldn't tell.
"Because I went crazy looking for you?!"
"So?,I thought I'm the reason you couldn't go with Jackie somewhere"
Marco got the message,she over heard the conversation."Star that's not true,she invited me to go to a party but I said no to hang out with you"
"Really?,because it sounded like I'm the problem,"oh I can't because star always does something like SHE ALWAYS DOES!",she mimicked Marco.
"Star that's out of context! by that I meant fighting aliens!,villains,going to awesome dimensions"
Star turned to Marco.
"I wouldn't say anything to hurt you"Marco said."And why would you think I would say that?Am I a turd that means a lot to you?"
"Yeah..I just..I always screw something up and that's the reason I had to come here in the first place..I'm no good."Star turned her head and a tear left her left eye.
"You are the most amazing person I've met"
Marco's dark brown eyes looked into Star's blue couldn't tell what she was feeling when she looked in ,protected,found,scared..Star just didn't know.
Marco came closer to Star.
"Marco I'm sorry, I-"
Without thinking Marco grabbed the side of Stars shoulders,forced her to come closer and gave her a had her eyes open and closed them after a was surprised,both of their cheeks were just realized what he'd done,like his body took control of its self."Oh man,(face palm)Star,I'm sorry I kissed you that happened by itself!"
Star gave Marco a hug.
"It's ok Marco,You're the best."
