Star and Marco are sitting on a hill, looking at the sunset. The sky seemed to be melting into the sun, creating an array of orange and yellow hues. The two are silent...just enjoying the sunset. Finally, Marco breaks it.
"Hey Star..."
"Yeah Marco?"
Marco sighed. "Jesus this is hard."
He turned to the blonde and held both of hands with his 2 hands.
"You know how I haven't been feeling well recently?"
Star nods her head.
" I went to the doctor back on Earth...and it's not the flu."
Star's shoulders relax.
"Well that's a relief."
Seeing Marco's sad look, she tensed up again and her ocean eyes began to be filled with concern.
"What's wrong then?"
Marco exhales and sit down on the grass, gently pulling Star down with him.
"Star...do you know what cancer is?"
Star shakes her head.
"You see...it's a disease on Earth that people get where the body basically goes against itself. There are treatments but there is no cure yet."
"Y-You're gonna be fine? Right? Right?!" Star asks, hoping for a yes or simple nod.
"No...You see, cancer is deadly and survival is low especially those in stages 3 or 4."
"They said that I have stage 4."
Star gasps, tears starting to form in her sapphire eyes.
"I have only 2 months to live and-"
Marco was cut off by a crying Star Butterfly hugging him as tight as ever. As Marco embraces hus girlfriend, he feels her tears going down his back. He then starts to cry.
Star then pulls back and grabs Marco's shoulders.
"Marco, I promise you...I will make your last 2 months the best."
"I know you will...because you'll be there with me."
Star trying to hold back more tears, kisses Marco. The two kiss for about 20 seconds and pull apart. They lean on each other as the sunset ends. Both of them were thinking about Marco's last moments of life. And just like the sunset...they were going to cherish every moment.
Author's Note: Going to remind you...they are 16 here. And yes they are already dating.
Bye my Stars!
