Update 5 FEB 20- So glad to be working on this story again!

The next day

Star was the first to wake up, her back facing Marco as he held her tight to his body. She blushed feeling something poking at her butt. The last few hours seemed so unreal to her, but she wasn't one to overthink things.

Marco started to stir with one of his hands squeezing down on her breast while she moaned from the contact. "Good morning beautiful, how'd you sleep?" He takes a deep inhale of her hair and neck through his nostrils as she giggled.

"Well! Somebody really gave me all they've got last night! My hips are killing me right now!" One of his hands passed over her rump as she hissed in pain.

"Sorry about that… I couldn't hold back on giving you all I had!" The Princess turned over to look deep into his eyes.

"I'm not complaining, but I think somebody is ready for another round?" She reached down to grab his member, which led up to Marco moaning and kissing her.

"More than ready when you are, but we need to call Tom about this… we can't do this without telling him what happened." Marco really hated to be the voice of reason, but even if Tom wasn't on his good side right now, this couldn't go on any longer.

"You're right… maybe I should turn you back to normal first?" She passed her hand through his long hair as Marco shuts his eyes and smiled.

"Maybe we should have some more fun with these outfits later!" Marco blushed at the thought, but last night was amazing for him also.

"Consider it done, Pinky!" She pokes at his chest and giggles.

"Yeah, yeah… let's head over for a shower and get the day started… it's going to be interesting." He jumped off the bed and pulled Star up bridal style.

"Mmmmmm! I love this feeling?" The Princess wrapped her arms around his neck as she closed her eyes and let her little feet wiggling in the air.

Later That Day

"Call Tom…" Star held Marco's hand tight and was worried about how this was going to come off.

They were back in their normal attire again with Marco wearing his red hoodie with chest plate and sword to protect his Queen.

"Calling Tom..." The mirror repeated.

"Don't worry… I'm right here, we can do this…" Marco placed a kiss on her forehead as she held his hand tighter.

The mirror came to life showing her soon to be ex. "Hey there St- why are you holding Marco's hand like that?"

Well, that's one way to have your girlfriend call you up...

"Tom… we need to talk…" Star started off and cleared her throat.

The demon readies himself for what's to come.

"I'm not going to sugarcoat it and I don't want to hurt you, but me and Marco confessed to each other last night…" Better to go with that rather than telling him they fucked like jackrabbits.

"YOU WHAT?!" There goes that anger thing again.

"I need to you to stay calm… I'm really sorry about this, but I can't stop myself on the way I feel about him." She had to be strong and push through this messy part.

"How… how could you do this to me?" Tom could feel his heart snapping in half all over again.

"Tom… this isn't all Star's fault, we never wanted to hurt you-" Marco wasn't going to let Star take the whole blame for this, but the demon didn't want to hear a word out of him.

"How dare you stand there next to her and think I wouldn't be hurt about this!? Do you have any idea what Star means to me?! Do you?! I've been working so damn hard on making myself better to be with her again, just to have you come in and smash everything to pieces and you think I'd be fine with it?!" Tom was visibly shaking with anger.

"Maybe that's the problem… you tried to change for me and not for yourself. I knew this wouldn't be easy, but we couldn't live like this without telling you the truth." The Princess still wanted to be friends after all this.

"And is that so wrong?! To want to be better for someone I cared about and wanted to be with?! Being with you again has been a dream come true… but I guess I've been lying to myself thinking it would last…" He was starting to settle down now.

"The Blood Moon Ball has been sitting in the back of my mind, whispering that you'll end up with Marco one day… I didn't want to believe it, but I was fooling myself this whole time..." Tom looked at the ground.

"I'm sorry for all this, but our souls are truly bonded… I never meant to lead you on, but I can't stop the way I feel about him… I really love Marco with all my heart and more." Star didn't want that to be a stab at him, but it really hurt Tom to hear those words out loud.

"Why… why couldn't you feel the same way about me, Starship… I could have given you anything you wanted, what can Marco do that I can't?" That was a hard question to look into his eyes and answer.

"It's not about what I can or can't do… it's about the way we feel for each other and this feels right to us… I hope we can all still be friends after this…" Marco said without thinking, she couldn't bear to watch Tom anymore as she wrapped her body around the one she truly loved.

"How could I ever possibly forgive you after I had already given up on us, you dragged me back into this false world of yours for what? I told you back at the Silver Bell Ball… I put all my feelings about you behind me, but here we are with you making me regret these last few months... I'm sorry Star, but that's asking too much of me right now... I might not ever be able to forgive you..." The call ends…

Star started to whimper quietly, Marco held her tight and was petting her head. This hurt for the two of them, losing Tom's friendship was a blow to both of them. "I… I didn't want to hurt him… I just love you too much Marco… I swear, I'llnever do this to you!"

Marco shuts his eyes and placed a kiss on the top of her head. "I know Star… maybe he'll forgive us one day, we just need to give him space to heal…"

She knew this wouldn't be a simple task, but seeing the hurt in Tom's eyes was more painful than she could bear. Star removed her tears on Marco's shoulder, she had to be strong and move onto the next plan.

"I hope so… can… can we invite Kelly to come over?" The blonde had to thank her for all this, if it wasn't for her. Star may have never realized her feelings for him.

"Ummmmm maybe we should have a little talk about that?" Well, they did just come clean to Tom so maybe he should do the same about Kelly?

"Did… did something happen with you guys yesterday?" She pulled her head back, but still held onto him hoping nothing happened.

"Nothing really… I mean, we kissed a few times and I was going to go back to her place last night…" Star was smirking at him as he was scratching the back of his head.

"Go back to her place last night, huh? Guess I'm glad I sunk my teeth into you before something like what we did last night, would have happened with her." She gave his arm a playful punch.

"OUCH STAR… at least I'm telling you the truth… can't you be thankful for that?" Wait… so are they officially together now?

"Yes, I am grateful for that!" They shared a kiss.

"But… do you like Kelly? You can tell me the truth, I won't get mad." Oh, that was bad…

"I mean, she's great at listening when I was feeling down and we had a lot of fun sparring yesterday… we got along well, but I think it would have been too soon to say I have feelings for her like that…" Okay, that's good, be truthful… and good thing he left out the part about what happened on the couch

"I appreciate your honesty, Marco Diaz… give her a call would ya?" Star stepped away from him as he pulled out his phone.

"Hey wait a second… are we… you know? A thing now? Like together, together?" I mean, it should go without saying.

"I would hope so after I told you I love you and you said the same, now quit stalling and make the call!" There was much to be discussed with the female in question.

"Okay…?" Just what was her angle anyway?

Reaper- I know, I know… Tom got the short end of the stick on this one, but I swear I'll make it up to him. Everybody will get their happy ending and I mean EVERYBODY. Just stick along and find out what happens!

Nicki Plague- I'm so sorry Tom! Goddess I feel soo bad for him...things will get better...but damn the guilt...remember to leave a review and tell us what you thought!
