Eclipsa floated above the steep, towering steps of the Lucitor Family Castle, carried by her Umbral Umbrella. She'd be damned if she had to make this visit while drowning in her own sweat by the fatigue and the already intense heat of the Underworld.
Her heels clicked towards the massive stone doors of the castle. Just short of entering, the doors had already begun to part, as if the castle itself was expecting her. Though the same couldn't be said by many of it's denizens, save for one.
"Queen Eclipsa?" The King of the Underworld, Dave, happened to be walking by when she had entered. He looked surprised, yet ecstatic to see her. They both exchanged the usual greetings of bows and hand lifts. "To what do I owe the pleasure of having you here, your majesty?
"Oh, just a friendly visit." Eclipsa replied. "Your son called me over here."
"Tom?" Dave asked, puzzled. "Oh right, he went to see you yesterday, didn't he? How did that go?"
"Err." The Queen hesitated, her mind playing back the rather sordid details of their meeting from the day prior. She wasn't sure whether to giggle or shudder. "It was... eye opening to say the least."
"Uh-huh." Dave nodded. "Well, Wrathmelior and I have been noticing our son's relationship with Star is... well..."
"Sinking harder than the Titanic?"
"Yeeaahhh." Dave sighed. "I mean, I wasn't sure why he even chose to see you to begin with, but I didn't debate him. I thought maybe you could've knocked some sense into him. Make him see what everyone else did."
"Oh, he saw alright." Eclipsa couldn't suppress her smile.
"And that's the thing." Dave folded his arms. "When he came back home yesterday, he was shockingly tight lipped about what happened between you two. Like, he didn't even tell Wrathmelior. And he usually tells her everything!"
"Really now?"
"Indeed. In fact, he seemed as depressed as he was when his relationship with Star ended the first time. And when that happened, he spilled everything to us. But now? Nothing. Not a single word."
The Queen of Mewni simply nodded.
"So I have to ask. What happened between you two that made him behave this way? Because this is completely unheard of."
"Weeellll..." Eclipsa spoke half-teasingly and half hesitantly. "I don't want to get too deeply into the details, but. Are you familiar with the term, 'NTR'?"
Dave raised a brow in confusion. He shook his head. "Can't say that I am, no "
Eclipsa smiled again. "Do me a favor. Perhaps you should look that up at some point. Ask me again once you have. In the meantime, your son is waiting for me."
"Of course." Dave called for a couple of demon servants to show their esteemed guest the way.
It took longer than it should have the traverse the castle. It was labyrinthine to some extent and Eclipsa's escorts have gotten lost on a few occasions but they managed to find Tom's room eventually. Its door distinguished itself from the others in that it had the usual edgy teen flair with band stickers, skulls, and "danger" or "keep out" signs.
"Thomas?" Eclipsa called out as she lightly tapped the door. Music faintly slipped through the cracks. "It's Eclipsa. You wanted to see me?"
"Eh, just a minute!" He replied. There was some indistinct noises before Tom slowly opened the door. The music became much clearer, revealed as some kind of death metal.
"Hey there, Eclipsa." The Prince greeted casually.
"Hi." She was let in and brought to a plush red couch. She was surprised to see his room as neat and tidy as it was.
However, something less than clean caught her eye. A waste bin piled high with balled up tissues, some resting on the floor. Tom noticed her looking at it.
"Before you say anything, I was actually..." Tom stopped himself, embarrassed and averting his gaze.
"Masturbating?"
"What!? No!" He nearly shouted. His purplish face burned red. "Crying! I was crying!"
"With that many tissues, you could've been doing both."
"Arrgh!" Tom threw his face into his hands in frustration. "Why did I invite you again?"
"You tell me. Why did you ask me to come here?"
He didn't answer at first. He kept his face buried in his palms. Low, annoyed groans leaked through his fingers.
After a while, he raised his head and gazed at Eclipsa with sad, yet determined eyes.
"Can the All Seeing Eye show things in the past?"
Eclipsa blinked a few times. "Well, yes actually. Why?"
"I need you to show me what they did on the night of the wedding."
"Before I do that." Eclipsa gripped her wand and kept it to her chest. "Can we talk about what happened yesterday?"
"There's nothing to talk about." Tom replied coldly.
"There is a lot to talk about."
"My girlfriend is cheating on me with my best friend. End of story."
"And you're getting off to it."
Tom mentally took a step back to process what she had just said. His expression was like that of someone whose cereal was just pissed on.
"What!?"
"You heard me."
Tom bared his teeth, low growls seeping between them.
"I do not."
Eclipsa scoffed. "Then explain that stain in my bedroom only visible via black light. Explain why you were masturbating to the sight of those two mating like wild animals."
Tom was at a loss. His face burned a deep red and he did everything in his power to avoid eye contact with the Queen before him.
"Face it, Tom." Eclipsa drew closer, her face contorted into a scowl that would shake the most stoic of souls. "You know deep in your countless souls that you can never replace Marco in her heart."
Tom sprung to his feet, standing tall above his guest. His teeth bared and his fists were balled. She looked up at him, far from intimidated.
"You know your relationship with her is cursory at best. And yet you cling onto an illusion that everyone but you can see through." She continued, also standing up, and looking eye to eye with her hotheaded host.
"And now that the veil has parted, you seek solace in living vicariously through him, hoping that would be enough to keep things as they are without actually having to face reality."
By Tom's will, his bedroom had immediately become a world of peerless fire. The sky, the ground, the air, everything was in flames. As if he had taken them both to the very heart of Hell itself.
"I..." The Prince of the Underworld spoke in his distorted, omnipresent voice as he stared down the Queen with an immolated body and blank, white eyes.
Despite the fact that she was burning all over, the Queen of Darkness stood her ground. She got into his face, silently daring him to try something as well as warning him that she'd retaliate with much worse.
"I...I..."
"You what?" Eclipsa goaded him. "Deny it? Right, because that's been working out so well for you, hasn't it? That why your girlfriend sends more time with someone other than her actual boyfriend?"
"...KNOW!" Tom screamed in his normal voice. The fire surrounding them faded and his bedroom as well as he had returned to normal.
He fell back onto the couch, his face immediately dropping into his hands. A storm of sobs gave way to torrential tears.
Tom felt a pair of arms wrap around him. A hand rubbed circles on his back while a curly-haired head nuzzled lovingly against his.
"Shh, shh, shhh. It's okay, child." Eclipsa's soft, motherly voice embraced his ears. He felt himself gradually resurfacing after drowning in sadness for so long.
"I try..." He struggled to speak through his slowly softening sobs. "I try so hard, but... it's not good enough. It's never enough... why?"
The Queen of Mewni sighed. "Simply put, it's just a case of, 'too little, too late'. Perhaps you've just been thinking that it's a run of bad luck. But in reality, the game was rigged from the start."
"It's not fair."
"C'est la vie, Tom. I can't really fault anyone for any of this. Yet at the same time, you're all to blame."
"How am I partly at fault for this? I'm the one getting cheated on!"
"Yes, but you should know by now why."
"Well yeah, but-"
"And you've known for the longest time, right?"
"Y-yeah."
"And yet you did nothing about it. Why?"
Tom stayed silent, leaning forward as his eyes moved to the floor. Eclipsa simply shook his head at him. She stood from her seat, her wand kept firmly in her hand.
"In any case, I suppose we should get right to it. You wanted to see what they did on the night of the wedding, right?"
Tom immediately perked up and vigorously nodded his head.
"You seem strangely excited for this." Eclipsa chuckled.
"Oh uh, do I?"
"Yeah. Anyways."
The orb of the wand began to glow brightly as the Dark Queen's omnipresent voice shook the air once more.
Once the last word was uttered and the wand's shine reached its peak, a purple rift materialized in the air, giving way to a few seconds of static before it dissipated and displayed a clearer image.
Star and Marco were sitting in the booth, looking as though they had both heard quite the revelation. And judging by the general mood between the two, that seemed to be the case.
They seemed to be talking about Star's confession from way back when. Marco mentioned how things haven't been the same since then. Then they talked about how their guts felt for some reason. As weird as it was, Tom found it kinda cute.
"Last photo." Star briefly stared at the lone five dollar bill sitting between them. "Anything you need to tell me?"
"No. But there's one thing I need to do." When those words were uttered, Tom sensed a fire in Marco's eyes that he's never seen before.
"What's that?"
Marco squeezed that lone dollar bill in his hands. "Take the photo the booth is waiting for."
"Go gettem, Tiger!" Star smiled as she hooked the air in excitement.
Marco took a quick breath before his hand slowly inched its way towards the bill slot of the booth.
Star and Marco took their positions and prepared their faces for the camera.
Upon the first flicker of light, they made a simple first photo. Just two best friends sitting next to each other and smiling. Though, Tom and Eclipsa can sense that Marco's expression belied a tiny bit of nervousness.
On the second flash of light, Marco turned to Star. That determination from before returned at full force and eliminated all the anxiety from seconds prior.
Star noticed Marco looking at her and her eyes flicked towards him. The boy gently rested a hand on her arm before she completely reciprocated his gaze upon the third flash of light.
"Oh dear." Eclipsa immediately recognized the looks those two were exchanging. She can sense that at that moment, Star and Marco have become one in mind, body, and soul. Tethered by that one, shared feeling. Another hand reached out to grab another arm. Their eyes closed as their faces drew closer.
Once the light from the camera flashed its fourth and final time, that was it. The moment that Tom dreaded when Marco told him and Star confirmed it. He felt like a knife was plunged into his heart and twisted the very instant their lips united. He was hurt. Betrayed even. Yet at the same time, he wasn't surprised.
Tom could see that Star and Marco were anticipating this moment for the longest time. They wanted it, craved it even. Especially Star. Tom can sense a blatant fervor radiating from her that was never before seen for as long as he knew her.
It was like she was the happiest she had ever been in her life.
Though their consummation wasn't that long, it felt as though Eclipsa had frozen the image when it happened. When they parted, the afterglow was so brief that it was nonexistent. If anything, the kiss left them shaken and confused. Suddenly confetti, festive music, and an obnoxious goblin popped into the scene.
After having a little talk with said goblin and getting pushed back into the Booth, they were presumably being taken back to the wedding. While that was going on, Star and Marco ended up looking like the ending to the Graduate. Regret and confusion were etched into their horrified expressions.
"We... kissed." Was it just Tom or did it look like her lips said something different than what her voice said?
"I thought the Booth was magic!"
"You're my squire."
"Which is a job I take very seriously!"
"I have a boyfriend! His name is Tom!"
"Not even the first thing that came to mind..." Eclipsa uttered beneath her breath. She thought Tom might've heard her because his third eye glanced at her for a second.
The memory continued playing out as it happened. Tom couldn't help but cringe the moment he saw himself enter the scene with that damn pie. He had to admit, he was starting to regret spending so much time eating it rather than spend it with Star.
The scene became empty once Star dragged Tom off screen after getting that call from Ponyhead.
"Huh." Tom leaned forward and squinted as he noticed something. "She forgot the photo."
Though he found that he spoke too soon when Star came back into frame and snatched said photo. She didn't leave right away, however. Instead, she stared at it. Stared at it far longer than she should have before finally exiting stage right. Tom couldn't see her face because her back was turned, but he could only imagine she had the most longing look in her eyes.
"Oh man..." Tom thought back to what happened two days ago. When he and Star were about to discuss her and Marco's kiss. He remembered what he said as she walked out into the storm. "It really did mean something to her, did it?"
He groaned as his head fell back onto his hands for the nth time that day.
"Okay, stop." the teen demon demanded with a hefty sigh. The image paused by the caster's will and the Eye itself was kept in existence.
"So... what'd you think?" Eclipsa asked.
"Just... why?"
"Well, when you tend to spend that much time with someone and go through a lot, you tend to-"
"No, I get that." Tom shook his head. "I mean, what's with all the excuses?"
"Uh, what?"
"You saw them right?" Tom arched his palm towards the Eye. "It's sooo obvious that they want each other. And yet they were trying to push each other away. Totally different from what we saw yesterday."
"Perhaps they were just trying to make sense of what happened between them."
"Hmm." Tom's finger rubbed under his chin as he pondered. His gaze returned to his guest with an idea. "You think you could take us to a couple hours later? Like maybe sometime past midnight?"
"Uh, may I ask why?"
"Well, I doubt something like that would let 'em sleep easy."
Eclipsa shrugged. "As you wish."
The footage began to fast forward once more until Eclipsa found an appropriate place to stop.
"Wait, stop." Tom extended a hand as he said it. "Right there."
On command, Eclipsa froze the Eye. It was the interior of Butterfly Castle. It was almost pitch black save for a few dimly lit torches here and there. Marco was standing in the middle of a hallway, continually staring at a door that Tom deduced was Star's.
"Well, you can unpause it now."
Eclipsa scratched her cheek. "Uh, it is unpaused."
"What wha-"
"C'mon Marco..." The boy said to himself nervously. His shaky fist was raised in the air while the rest of his body remained stiff as a statue. Sweat flowed down his face like a waterfall. "No more running away. You gotta set things straight. Make things right again. Then you can go back to sleep and we can move on with our lives."
Marco let loose a deep exhale before his fist slowly moved to the door. He can feel the sweat flooding his palms and could hear his heart hammering as his hand inched ever closer.
"Come in." His heart nearly shot out of his chest the moment the voice from behind the door hit his ears. His mind stressed over how she knew he was there. But now that he had the go ahead to come in, it didn't really matter all that much.
The moment his fingers wrapped around the doorknob, Marco felt himself seduced by the overbearing need to run back his room, bury himself beneath his sheets and forget any of this happened. It would be the easiest path to take. However, he had already told himself that running away was no longer an option.
After swallowing that lump in his throat, Marco turned the knob gently. The door slowly sung open with an elongated creak. He peaked his head in, barely able to make out Star sitting at the edge of her bed.
"Star?" He quietly called out as he let himself all the way in and closed the door behind him.
"Hey." She lazily waved with one hand while the other was kept behind her back for some reason. "Couldn't sleep, too?"
"Yeah." He sighed as he walked up to her giant canopy bed. The moment he sat next to her, Star's body pivoted towards him so he wouldn't see her back. This didn't go unnoticed.
"What's that you got there?" Marco asked, pointing behind Star.
"Uhh, nothing!" She was obviously lying. She raised an open palm from behind her back while also pulling the other hand behind her back. "See?"
"Then what's in your other hand?"
"Umm." With quick thinking, Star raised her body slightly before sitting back down and raising two open palms. "Nothing! See? Toldya!"
"Okay, I know you're just sitting on it now."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She shrugged.
"C'mon Star, don't make me-"
Marco immediately lunged at Star, his arms spread out to reach behind her. Star tried to defend herself by putting her hands behind her back again.
"Wait wait wait, stop! you're gonna ruin it!" She exclaimed as one foot kept Marco at bay.
"Ruin what?" Marco asked with a foot against his chest keeping him from advancing. "See? You were hiding something!"
"Okay okay, I am." Star admitted defeat. "Just...wait."
Marco backed off as Star raised herself again and kept both hands behind her back. She didn't reveal herself immediately, as she let her eyesight linger on the floor for a minute.
The moment she presented what she's been hiding, Marco felt a sinking feeling deep in the pit of his stomach. He felt repelled by it, to the point where he backed away slightly.
"It's... us." Marco said wistfully, staring dismally at the photo strip before him. "Our picture from the Booth. You took it with you?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"Because," Star sighed. It was her turn to have butterflies in her stomach going nuts and longing to escape. "This is the best Best Friend photo we've ever taken."
"Seriously?" Confusion was apparent in Marco's tone. "I really don't think that counts as a best friend photo."
"Marco, do you even know my criteria for an actual Best Friend Photo?"
"Can't say that I do."
"Well here, look closely."
Star shifted closer to Marco, sitting shoulder to shoulder. She handed the strip to Marco. He brought it closer to his squinting eyes, hoping he could see what she did. However, no matter how much he squeezed his eyes or how many details he tried to notice, he just couldn't see it. He handed the photo back to her.
"I'm sorry, Star. "He apologized ruefully. "I just don't get it."
Star sighed while rolling her eyes. She pointed to each section of the strip. "Look at you, Marco. You see what you're doing?"
"Making a dumb decision?"
"No- well actually yes, that was kinda dumb. But besides that. You're being honest, Marco! You're enjoying yourself! And most importantly."
Star placed a caring hand on Marco's, squeezing it. He tensed for a moment. Chills rose in his spine from the look she was giving him. There was something in her eyes that he couldn't identify but could definitely feel.
And he felt the same way.
"You're being my best friend." Star said with such sadness in her tone and her eyes that Marco felt himself tearing apart within.
"Star..." There was a pleading look in his eyes. Desperate even. "I don't... know if I should..."
There was a long pause that gave way to a solidifying silence. Marco couldn't stop shaking, nor could he avert his gaze from Star's.
She drew closer.
"You don't know if you should what?" She asked, her head tilted to the side.
Marco swallowed a lump in his throat he forgot he had. He felt like he was seconds away from a heart attack.
"If I should... feel what I'm feeling." Marco finally let out. "What I've been feeling for the longest time. I'm not even sure what to call it. And I'm not even sure if it's right."
"Oh my gosh, love. Love!" Tom yelled at the Eye, frustrated at Marco's ineptitude of expressing himself. He dug his hand in a bowl of popcorn provided by his servants. "It's love you're feeling, you idiot! C'mon!"
"Ah, teenagers." Eclipsa spoke with fond nostalgia. She took a handful of popcorn from the bowl and stuffed her face with it. "The most socially retarded of all living things."
"Shh!" Tom shushed while his mouth was full.
"You don't know what it is," Star's breath hit his lips with every word she spoke. Marco didn't notice their foreheads were touching. "or you just don't wanna say it?"
"Eh, I-"
"Marco..." Star called out in a hushed tone. "Y'know, another thing I love about that photo. Is that you weren't really thinking. You let your instincts do the doing. And then you did it."
"Huh." Was all he could think to say.
"So stop thinking about what you're feeling and just...feel." There was a determination in her voice that everyone could sense. "Like you did in the photo."
"Feel..." Marco repeated, his eyes closing to drown out every other sense. Though he wanted to follow through with her advice, he couldn't help but feel the smallest pang of guilt in the depths of his heart.
"But, what about-"
A pair of fingers silenced him. His attention was once again tightly grasped by the girl before him.
"Don't even say it. Don't even think about it. Just do it."
Her words pushed Marco forward. As if they were in sync, Star met him halfway. Their lips locked for the second time that night. The second time in their lives.
They held onto each other as if their lives depended on it. Their kiss lasted longer than last time, with their tongues now engaging in a unified dance. Fingers tightly grasped a handful of Marco's hair, and a pair of hands pulled Star by her lower back.
Their positions shifted in an instant. Marco suddenly found his back to the bed and Star straddling his hips. However, neither of them parted in the slightest, much less realized they even moved.
The snapping of buttons joined the smacking and slurping of their lips. Marco's dark, bare chest gradually peeked into view as Star's hands climbed down his shirt. The moment his top gave way to his torso, Star's hands immediately ran all over it.
"Star..." Marco whispered, parting the two for a second before she dipped right back into his lips.
At the same time, Marco's hands went to work pulling her dress up. It slipped above her panties, but Marco stopped right there. His hands dove beneath, feeling her soft skin slick with sweat.
"Ah! Marco!" It was Star's turn to separate their lips. Marco was surprised to find out she wasn't wearing a bra underneath as his fingers found her tits. Star stood herself straight. The heat inside and out proved too much and she quickly removed her gown. Her pale, lithe body shined beneath the moonlight.
Marco was caught off guard and his eyes froze on her naked chest. Words wanted to come out but his jaw couldn't decide whether it wanted to stay open or closed.
"You just gonna stare or you gonna take yours off too?" Star said, impatiently.
Marco nodded obediently. He raised himself up as he slipped his top off and set it aside.
Star suddenly found her hands clasped behind Marco's neck while his hands returned to her lower back.
It suddenly hit them both that they were almost naked and their crotches were touching through a few layers of cloth. Their gazes locked as they stood hand in hand on the outskirts of new territory, never before explored by either one of them with anyone else.
It was new. It was scary. It was exciting. There were glaring consequences that came with this interaction. They knew them well and they knew there was no going back after this.
Neither made any effort to stop.
"Wow..." Tom uttered beneath his breath. His eyes shining.
"Enjoying the view?" Eclipsa teased with a smile, referring to Star's almost naked body.
"No it's just... She's never looked at me like that before."
"It's like the Booth all over again, huh?"
Tom's eyes sullenly dropped. "Yeah."
Driven by lust, Marco's mouth lunged forward to catch a nipple in his mouth. Star mewled in response, writhing in the sudden pang of pleasure. She rolled her hips instinctively, feeling his concealed erection rub against her.
Star wasn't the only one slowly getting addicted to the sensation. Craving more, Marco's hands traveled lower, gripping his lover by her petite butt.
"Mmmf! Mmrrcfff." She squealed into his hair, a mixture of musk and faint hints of shampoo entering her nostrils.
Marco nibbled, suckled and lick. He alternated between both tits as he did so. Every little action getting a greater reaction out of Star. Every time she grinded her hips, he grinded back.
Eventually, Marco found himself above Star, his mouth refusing to let up on her chest. Using his knees, he pushed into her harder, drinking in the tingling feeling in his loins and Star's reactions.
But as much as they enjoyed themselves, they both knew deep in their minds there was more to be had.
"M-marco! Wait! Stop!" She cried out with great difficulty. Startled, he froze and looked up at Star like a deer in headlights.
"Could you, um..." Star gestured for Marco to get up.
"Uh, sure." With a nod, he stood on his knees, his erection made more apparent.
"Nnggh!" Marco's eye snapped shut the moment Star began touching him. She lightly squeezed and rubbed, forcing the boy to make all sorts of faces.
"Feel good?" Star asked, half innocently, half teasingly.
Marco nodded, biting his lip to stifle any more verbal responses. Star's fluttering eyes weren't helping.
"Well, it'd feel better if it's out right?"
Before she even let Marco answer, her fingers hooked both his pajama bottoms and underwear before pulling down. His erection was set free, bouncing a few times before coming to rest.
"Whoa." Star's mouth was agape. She poked and pushed it down with her finger it a few times. She watched intensely as it instantly sprung back to position.
"Never seen one before?" Marco chuckled at her curiosity.
"Not up close." She answered as she lifted it with her hand.
Eclipsa looked to Tom with a questioning look. Knowing what her eyes were asking, he shamefully shook his head.
"I thought you might've- er, nevermind." Marco stopped himself from saying anything he might regret. Unfortunately it was too late.
"Oof." Tom winced, feeling embarrassed for Marco. Eclipsa giggled. "Bad move."
"Marco Diaz!" Star called his name in annoyance. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"I-I'm sorry!" He shook his palms in a "I didn't mean it" gesture. "I wasn't thinking!"
"I know. And now I kinda wish you were."
Marco anxiously rubbed the back of his head. He felt like he had already messed things up and he can feel the mood waning.
He was about to turn to the door when he felt a hand grip him by the shaft, forcing him to flinch in response.
"Oh no you don't." Star's eyes looked more determined than angry now. There was a seductive tinge in her voice that made Marco's skin crawl. "You're gonna make it up to me."
He gulped. "Aaaand how am I gonna do that?"
Rather than answer, Star giggled mischievously. She brought her face closer to his dick, giving the head a kiss before taking the rest of him in her mouth. She felt Marco throbbing and hardening between her lips as she went back and forth on him. Groans of pleasure hit her ears like a serenade. The sounds shifted in pitch and volume when she added her hands to the mix, stroking him and toying with his balls as she sucked him. She hummed with joy when she felt Marco's fingers running through her hair.
As Tom was enthralled with the show his close friends were giving him, his erection ached to get out.
A hand started to rub his groin and his jaw dropped when he realized it wasn't his. That same hand dug under his pants and pulled out his hard, purple member.
"Wow. Even in his normal teenage body, he's still bigger than you." The Queen of Mewni teased in hushed tones, her breath hitting Tom's ear.
"E-Eclipsa?" The young demon was surprised but did nothing to stop her when she began jerking him off. "Wh-what are you-"
"Shhh." Her half-lidded dusky eyes trapped his. Her voice lowered to uncomfortably quieter volumes. "Let me give you a hand this time."
"You... W-why?"
A smile was painted on her face.
"Just keep watching. I'll take care of the rest."
Tom couldn't reply. Eclipsa's masterful strokes kept him from thinking or resisting. Her grip was generally soft and gentle. Sometimes she added a bit of pressure whenever her hand reached the head or the base.
But all in all, her pace matched that of Star's mouth.
"Pah!" Star's lips removed Marco with a smack. She laid back, her head landing on her pillow.
Then her arm spread out, as if asking Marco for a hug. The smile on her face bore not seduction nor suggestiveness, but one of unbridled joy. As if this was a regular thing that two best friends did.
Marco responded in kind. Crawling overtop Star as he peppered kisses all over her face, from her cheeks to her lips.
While they were kissing, Star took Marco's hands and guided them down her body. His sweat mingled with hers as his hands made their slick descent. When they stopped at her hips, Star made both of Marco's index fingers hook the edges of her panties.
The implications of what they were about to do hit Marco square in the face and he snapped up. Eyes of uncertainty glanced over eyes of desire.
The beholder of said eyes merely nodded before pecking Marco on the lips. The kiss was brief and cursory, yet bolstered by a level of trust that needed no words to express.
Marco's desires rose above his fears and he pulled his partner's panties down. Her legs relaxed as they raised to the ceiling to help him along.
Despite her eagerness just moments before, Star averted her gaze and blushed heavily when Marco spread her legs. She can feel him caressing her with his eyes, bringing forth a mixture of embarrassment and arousal.
"Gosh..." Marco muttered beneath his breath. His eyes refused to tear away from Star's soaking sex.
"T-take a picture. It'll last longer." Cracks started to form in Star's facade.
Marco smiled. "Sure. Maybe when we get the Booth again."
"Sh-shut up."
Marco returned to his spot above Star, his member now resting on her slit.
"Don't you wish you were that close?" Eclipsa's hot breath and biting words slithered into Tom's ear. She applied a mouthful of spit on her free hand. Her palm, now lubed up, rolled circles on the head of Tom's dick.
"Hah... Star..." Tom meekly squeaked. The Eye had switched to Marco's point of view, letting him self insert much easier.
Star and Marco looked below, their racing hearts neck and neck. Marco grabbed his cock, rubbing it along Star's entrance. Anxiety grew within the boy as he fumbled to find the point of entry.
"You uh, need help?" Star couldn't contain a chuckle.
"N-no, I got this." Marco said as he thinks he found the spot. His head dipped a little in her and he gazed at his partner triumphantly. "See? Told ya."
"Heehee. Good job."
"Alright. Phew." Marco breathed a sigh as returned to his spot above Star. He felt himself getting a little deeper, but he knew he wasn't quite there yet.
"Ssst. Ooh, easy there." Star hissed and squirmed as Marco went as deep as her fingers usually got.
"Are you okay?" Marco locked up, worried he might've made an error.
"O-of course. S'all good." Star assured with a wave of her hand. Though her quivering lips and shivering body betrayed her words.
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I've taken hits worse than this. Th-this is nothing."
"Whew. Okay." Marco steeled himself. He released a heavy breath and looked Star dead in the eyes.
"Wanna go on 3?" Her hands reached up to caress Marco's cheeks. The anxiety in his eyes was clear as day and she wanted nothing more than to comfort him.
He nodded.
"Ok." Star sighed before completely relaxing her body. "1."
"2." Marco followed after.
"3!" They both shouted at once.
It was as if, for a second, the entire world turned to white and the only thing that was heard were strained, squeaky gasps from the both of them. It wasn't long before, the scrunched faces of their partners were back into view.
And before either of them realized it, their bodies clung together as closely as they could possibly be. Marco felt all four of Star's limbs wrap around him as tightly as the warmth and wetness surrounding his cock to the base.
They both laid there for a while, bound by the moment. Star tensed immensely and Marco felt her inner walls gripping him like a vice.
"Marco... we..." Star muttered between breaths. The initial pain dissolved into euphoria that spread throughout her body. "... we did it."
"Y-yeah." Marco fought hard not to let this new sensation get the better of him. "We're uh, doin' it, alright."
"This is... a lot better than I imagined." She spoke dreamily, her eyes fluttering. Her body relaxed as it adjusted to her lover's size and shape.
Marco blushed and raised an eyebrow at the comment. He lifted himself on his arms to look at Star directly. "Uh, imagined? You've... thought about this?"
"Haven't you?" Star held him by the cheeks.
"Ehh... few times, maybe?" Marco averted his eyes.
Star giggled. " I imagined you would've stopped to get condoms first. Like, four of 'em."
"Four of them?"
"Four of 'em."
"Why four?"
"I dunno, because you like to be safe?"
"I haven't done that schtick in ages, though."
"Hey, don't question my fantasies. Half of those involve you being all big and muscle-y, too."
"Mmm." Marco thought for a moment. "Isn't that kinda weird though?"
"How so?"
"I'm like, double your age when I'm like that."
"And?"
"And!?" Marco repeated in exasperation. "That's like waaayyy beyond an acceptable gap!"
"Yeah but imagine how much bigger you'd be. Manhandling me in your strong arms and finding things to bend me over."
Star felt a throb inside her, reminding them both that they were joined at the pelvis. A cat-like smile stretched her face.
"Ooh, you like that idea, dontcha?" Her grin deepened and the peerless lust returned to her eyes at full force. "I think we've been talking along enough. Why dontcha start pounding your little princess, papi?"
Marco almost wanted to comment on the silliness of being called that, but he didn't want to delay any further. He raised himself on his knees, evoking more squirming out of Star as she felt him fidgeting inside her.
He let a third of his length remain inside her for a few moments. With a deep breath, he made one, forceful thrust, eliciting a breathless gasp out of Star. He stayed hilted inside of her for a few more moments, searching her face for any sign for him to stop.
If anything, her face was more like an eternal green light.
Marco repeated his motions, getting into a steady rhythm and a consistent intensity. With every movement, music was made out of the clapping of his hips against Star's ass, the squishing of her pussy taking him repeatedly, and their duet of blissful moans. Their lips collided once more, their tongues bumping and lashing in time with their love-making.
Tom started bucking his hips into Eclipsa's hand. His attention was deathly gripped by Star's flushed, contorted face shown in full view on the Eye.
"So few would be so lucky to bed a Butterfly woman. " Eclipsa whispered into his ear as her pace matched that of Marco's. "Unfortunately, you're not one of them."
"Ahh. Ah...Star..." The young demon strained to say.
"You don't know what you're missing. Mewberty does a girl's body good. It practically makes their bodies designed for pleasure. To make breeding a lot easier. Just imagine that tightness and warmth milking you on a regular basis."
All that could come out of Tom's throat at that point were guttural groans and gasps. His focus was consumed by the view of his girlfriend getting pounded by his best friend and the slick grip squeezing his dick and moving gradually faster.
Tom felt himself getting close. So dangerously close.
"Hah, haahhh! Mmmarco!" Star cried out. Her arms and legs gripped him tighter as she felt herself inching towards the edge. She bit her lower lip and shut her eyes to brace herself. "I'm. I'm gonna- anh!"
"Y-yeah... me too." Marco's words squeaked out between breaths. His pace grew quicker as he approached the finish line.
"Ma-Marco!"
"St-Star!"
"Marco!"
"Star!"
The Eye showed nothing but their genitals squished together one last time as their shared orgasm passed through them. Tom can see Marco's dick throb as it filled Star with his cum. It flowed down her skin, pooling beneath her rear.
"Cum for her, Tom." It felt like a command. Eclipsa's breath caressed his ear while her words echoed in his mind. She held his head in place, making sure he can see the Eye clearly. "Cum to the thought of your girlfriend being filled with someone else's seed. Maybe she's bearing his child as we speak. Who knows?"
Cum erupted out of Tom's dick, several spurts hitting his pants as well as his bedroom floor. Once again, all the energy had drained out of him. He leaned back on his elbows, his chest heaving beneath the ensuing fatigue.
"That's a good boy." Eclipsa softly spoke as she pulled a handkerchief from her jacket. She began wiping her hands then Tom's dick before putting it back into his pants for him.
Tom stared on at Eclipsa. His expression was unclear, unable to pick just one emotion to convey as many buzzed in his mind. As such, he was at a loss for words.
"No need to thank me. I'm just glad I could help." The Queen shined a smile that was a mix of caring and mischievous.
She got up from the bed, heading towards the door. She bore a visage of satisfaction along the way. She had hoped that Tom finally realized what he needs to do going forward.
"Wait. Eclipsa." The young demon called out, making her stop right when she grabbed the door knob.
"Yes, dear?" She turned her head to the side to look at him.
Tom didn't speak right away. His line of sight veered off to the side for a bit, as if he was in conflict with himself on what to say and do next. The past few days had been rough on him. Seeing and internalizing the truth was a slow and painful process, but he was somewhat glad he went through it.
"They're at your castle, right?" Tom asked.
Eclipsa thought for a moment. "I believe so. Why?"
He simply nodded. "I just might stop by later."
"What are you going to do when you meet them, young man?" Though she asked this, she had a vague idea.
All three eyes turned to Eclipsa, looking far more certain than they ever had since the day prior.
"Something I should've done a long time ago."
"Uh, Thomas? Son?" Dave called out from behind the door. "So I just did a quick internet search. I think we should have a man to man talk."
