A/N: Look at that, I am back with Part 2! Oh whoa! Is this one long! - But a few things before I get to the rest of the story.
/Look, I am not forcing anyone to like Tomco alright? If you don't like the ship, then leave. Don't waste your time commenting just to spew out your hate, and your not making your ship fanbase look any better (Talking about the Starco shippers in the reviews) I like Starco too alright? It's just that I like Tomco more,, so please don't waste your time here, just to get butthurt later on that the ship you wanted isn't here. And the title should be the biggest thing, I am only posting Tomco in this little series! So please, just stop it.
Now back to the last part of the prompt- Some things I didn't mention. Firstly, the dresses they are wearing are on my Tumblr. If you want to know the dresses Star and Marco are wearing, then I'll see if I can move that ask into my (Fanfictions) slot on there. And another thing, Star and Marco are a little bit older here. Let's say between 16 - 18. And oh, I just love making puns.
Hope you all enjoy this part!
Marco quietly walked around the large patio, patiently waiting for the return of his friend. The cake was going to be cut and served soon, so he didn't want to show up without Star beside him. He tried to be careful and watched wear he stepped, since he decided to remove the heels he was wearing fully but the grass he walked on was soothing the soreness he still had going on. The brunette sighed in relief at the feeling, standing in place.
He then looked out for the blonde, yet seeing her no where in sight. From the time she excused herself to the present, ten minutes had passed, which really worried Marco. It made the male feel uneasy, and he hoped once again the Star would show up real soon.
The voice of the birthday girl's mother caught his attention and he listened carefully to her words. She announced that in the next several minutes would be cake time, in which she received cheers coming from the other little girl's at the party, including her own daughter. Marco slightly panicked. Star had not returned yet, and there he stood in the middle of the party, debating whether he should go find her or that he would see her face before he has a breakdown.
Tom let out a struggled grunt as Star pushed him forcefully against one of the corridor walls, gripping him by the collar of his shirt. Anger was noticeable on her facial features, but also noticeable due to the amount of force she used on him. The blonde's dress literally made a cover up if he tried to escape, in which he surprisingly didn't decide to do so. Star pulled out her wand, quickly thinking of some sort of spell, and flashed it around his face.
The demon then put his hands up in his defense, trying to force out a smile, but only to show a nervous expression. "H-hey now, S-star . . . Let's not do anything violent!"
Star raised an angry brow at him, surprised that he didn't refer to her as 'starship', something he usually does. She kicked that thought out of her mind, focusing back on him, still holding her wand up at the male in a threatening sort of way. Tom coughed quietly as Star's grip on him grew stronger, and more force overwhelmed him, feeling as if the wall he was being pushed against would quickly collapse. He felt the force grow a little weaker, however not too much, making eye contact as Star as she stared at him.
"Alright then, if you don't want to this to get violent, why don't you explain to me as to why you are here then?!" Star's wand brightened up dramatically, striking panic into the demon in front of her. "I swear to the stars above that if you only came here just to try and get me back i'll-"
"N-no! I promise that's not what I am here for! I just g-got lost alright?" Tom had cut her off, trying to push her wand out of the way. Star struggled to keep the male in place, still believing he was trying to pull something. The girl was able to regain her grip on him again, and also her wand. She pointed it at him again, looking anger driven with her bangs falling over her eyes.
"Got lost? You better have an explanation in the next five seconds before I turn you into star dust!" It was at the point Tom tried to calm Star down, but it looked like trying to get her to listen only made things worse. And of course, he didn't want to hurt her either, but he didn't want her to do anything drastic because it would not only affect him, but her as well. As Tom tried to communicate with the blonde girl, a voice was heard.
"Star?"
Star suddenly snapped out of her raging trance, the light from her wand slowly fading as she turned her attention to the familiar voice calling out to the her. She tensed up nervously as she saw Marco standing at the end of the hallway, looking back at her. During this moment, Tom gently undid Star's grip on him, exhaling in relief before turning his attention to Marco as well, obviously thinking . . . that the 'girl' wasn't Marco.
Marco finally noticed Tom, slightly panicking on the inside. Until he noticed the way the demon was eyeing him . . . not in an angry way but . . . in a flirtatious one? Marco tensed up at the thought, pushing it out of the way. What was Tom doing here anyway? Had he tried to come back for Star again? At that thought, the brunette tried to get angry, but couldn't actually make an expression and he didn't know exactly why. However it actually . . . didn't seem like Tom was even interested in Star since, his attention was still focused on Marco . . . The Spanish boy slightly flinched, getting nervous at the demon's gaze. He was hoping that Tom didn't recognize him at all, just like other who communicated with him earlier that day.
Star quietly put her wand away, fixing her dress and her hair before giving Tom another threatening look. Tom stepped back a little when he noticed the expression on her face, but calmed down after she walked away from him, going towards Marco. Marco let out a quiet but confused grunt when he felt Star take a hold of his arm, taking him with her down the stairs to the host's living room. On the way, he turned his head to face up the stairs, Tom in his view. The brunette's face went hot when saw Tom still staring at him until his figure disappeared as a brick wall came in between their views.
The pair of 'princesses' made their way back into the party's center, where everyone was gathered. Star had let go of the boy's arm, walking towards a table that had a large punch bowl on it. Marco watched as she served herself a drink, crossing his arms. She turned around to face him, noticing his expression. Star gulped down the drink before finally speaking.
"Look I don't know alright . . .? I just want nothing to do with him anymore. Let's just, forget about him alright and, put our minds on the party . . ." Star said, finding a place to take a seat. Marco sighed out loud, walking towards another direction. He recollected his thoughts as the sound of voices mixed in with music slowly started to fade away.
If Tom wasn't there for her . . . then why did he show up? Maybe . . . he was plotting something . . . bad? Marco didn't know, but he did fear for his friend. However it seemed like Star just forgot about the whole thing, since she was having a conversation with of a couple of other girls. Well, that can be good he guessed. For the time being. But that didn't stop him from having his own thoughts about Tom, and was still little worried. The brunette heard that one mother's voice again, saying that it would take a longer to cut the cake since the father who was bringing it got caught in traffic. Hearing this made Marco hum in great relief, knowing that he was able to get a much longer break.
He slowly made his way around a corner of the large house, walking into a dark patch. There was a bench and a small fountain as well, and the only light to be seen was coming from the moon. The brunette sat himself on the bench, lifting the skirt of his dress halfway to get to his ankles again. Damn, they still felt really sore. As he was trying to soothe the soreness, he dipped his fingers in the water from the small fountain, using that instead. He suddenly felt a little more relief, sighing once again in content.
"Ugh . . . why did I even wear those? Stupid . . ." Marco told himself in a whisper.
"H-hey . . ."
Marco quickly jumped up gasping in surprise, after suddenly hearing a familiar voice next to him. Once he made out who it was, he stepped backwards in fright, one of his heels hitting the edge of the fountain behind him. The brunette then lost his balance and knowing his fate, he decided to brace for impact, shutting his eyes tight. That was until he felt a hand grasp his own, and another being place behind his back, gripping his waist.
It was then when Marco quickly opened his eyes again, making complete eye contact with . . . three. Tom's red eyes stared down at him, making him tense up a whole lot. Marco mentally panicked, as he tried to release himself from the demon's grip. The demon noticed this, helping Marco stand up straight. He also noticed Marco's frightened expression once he helped him up, an actual expression of worry showing up on his face.
"W-whoa I am so sorry . . . I didn't mean to scare you like that . . ." Tom said reassuringly in a quiet tone. Marco stared nervously at the other male, heat spreading all over his face. He tried looking away, feeling the demon's gaze right on him. Tom was eyeing him up and down, taking a small step towards him. Marco flinched at his sudden movement, trying to think of an excuse to leave but instead, he just decided to leave on his own without any word. However, as Marco tried to step out of the way to leave Tom alone, he felt the demon carefully grab his arm.
"No please, don't leave . . ." Tom gently pulled Marco in towards him, carefully grabbing his other arm as well. Marco let out shaky breaths as he tried to speak, but he just couldn't make up any words at all, and getting in closer to Tom just made it worse. The human boy felt an arm snake around his waist, making him squeak silently.
Marco kept his own gaze turned away, knowing that Tom was looking straight at him. A light red color was forming on his cheeks and the bridge of his nose, but thanks to the darkness it was barely noticeable. For a few seconds, Marco stayed facing away from the demon's stare, his body shaking softly. He felt Tom close the space between them a little more before the demon raised his hand to cup boy's chin, making the human face him. However Marco still avoided all eye contact, biting his lip.
The two stood in the darkness, their bodies inching closer as moments passed. Tom was still trying to get Marco to make eye contact with him, gently rubbing the human's chin. At that moment, Marco became a stuttering mess, eventually feeling the hand that was on his waist start rubbing his sides too. The brunette tried to step away but Tom's grip on him was surprisingly strong yet didn't hurt him at all. After all of his attempts, Tom was able to look into Marco's eyes, staring deeply into them.
"You look . . . very beautiful you know?" Tom chuckled, his words actually making Marco's heart flutter a little, but made his mind go dizzy. However, the brunette regained himself, pulling his chin away from Tom's grip. A questioned look appeared on Tom's face, yet kept himself quiet.
"Oh yeah, but not as beautiful as Star right?" Marco finally decided to question the demon, gripping the arm around his waist to just push it away, crossing his arms as he waited for the male in front of him to speak. Tom just stared at him, yet decided to reply, stuttering out his own question.
"W-what? What are you talking about and how do you . . .?" Tom spoke before Marco scoffed at him, taking another step back. He was finally able to show some anger, as the expression appeared on his facial features. That was the moment when . . . he finally decided to reveal himself to the demon, who he believed still hated him. But he was only going to do it to get answers out of the other male, no matter if it would possibly kill him.
Then Marco gripped the fake hair that was pinned to his actual locks, smoothly pulling it off. He allowed it to fall to the floor, as he put his gaze back on Tom. At first, Marco did in fact feel a little embarrassed by his reveal, but that was until he remembered the reason why he did it. The brunette never moved an inch, still awaiting the demon's reaction, in which came a very surprised expression.
Tom looked closely at Marco's facial features, making sure his three eyes weren't deceiving him. Oh, they weren't. He kept his eyes on Marco, looking at his face and down to the dress he was wearing. Confusion struck him again, real bad that time. Marco watched the demon's expressions change, crossing his arms over his chest. "That's why you came here, is that correct? You followed us here, didn't you?!"
Marco took step forward, actually making the demon flinch. Tom examined Marco's angered expression, and let himself take a step forward, in which confused Marco a little yet still kept his anger noticeable.
"No, I didn't alright? Look, s-something weird just happened to me a-and, following you guys here made that feeling go away." Tom spoke in a stern tone. Marco's angered expression was slowly fading, as he listened to the demon continue speaking. "I don't know what it was, or what it means but . . . no, I never came here for Star, because I don't have feelings for her anymore."
With this, the brunette sighed, his body calming with him. Tom let out a quiet sigh as well, pulling his hair back with his fingers. He looked back at Marco who still had his arms crossed, however kept his eyes looking down. The demon stared at the other male for a few seconds, but was able to catch his attention when he let out a groan. Marco heard the pained sound, quickly averting his attention to Tom, who had his hand rubbing his forehead. A worried expression appeared on the human's face, making his way towards the demon slowly.
"H-hey, are you alright?" Tom heard Marco's voice quietly call out to him, in which actually . . . soothed the pain a little . . . The demon realized this after the stinging feeling came back to play around in his mind, quickly looking at Marco.
"M-Marco . . .? Is it okay if I can . . . I . . . I just want to try something . . ." Tom reached out towards Marco, bringing the human's hand into his. He carefully brought Marco in closer to him, going slowly so that the brunette wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Marco payed attention to Tom's movements, making sure he wouldn't try anything. The only thing that the demon did in fact try, was actually wrapping his arms around the human's waist. Marco blushed like mad once he did this, realizing that his body was fully pressed up against Tom's.
The pain that Tom had suddenly felt not that long before, was starting to fade away, making him release a long relieved sigh. He didn't move an inch after the feeling had left him completely, still having his arms wrapped around Marco's body. Marco was a blushing and breathing mess. Why was Tom, someone who thought completely hated him and that fact that he's the Prince of Hell, hugging him like that? And it wasn't just a normal hug . . . it didn't feel like one. Marco panicked a little as Tom's grip on him grew somewhat tighter. He didn't want to let the human go.
Heat was starting to overwhelm Marco, coming from both Tom but also the feeling on his face. He had already realized why Tom had been getting that strange pain, why he followed Marco and Star to the party and . . . everything else. Whatever it was, it was moving Tom in some sort of direction and it already seemed like, he found what direction he needed to go and what he was supposed to look for. Knowing this, Marco silently exhaled bringing shaky arms upwards, to wrap them around the demon's neck.
This action surprised Tom, but he didn't argue at all, since he didn't want this new feeling to leave and really . . . he just didn't want to let go of Marco at all. Tom smiled warmly, bringing one of his arms up to use his hand to cup the brunette's chin again. Marco stared into his bright red eyes, awaiting either the demon's voice, or another move. "Remember when I said earlier . . . That I thought you looked really beautiful . . .?"
Marco swallowed, nodding shyly as his response. The demon exhaled, silently chuckling. Tom leaned in closer, making the human tense up under his grasp. "I still think so . . ." Marco caught his breath, trying to look away, but Tom's grasp on his chin wouldn't allow him to. The red color on his face continued to spread to farther places, such as the tip of his ears. He heard a chuckle erupt from Tom's throat, as the demon brought his lips to the brunette's ear, his hot breath making the male under him shudder in delight. Marco swore he could feel the demon- smirking.
"You are really impressive, human . . . And you look rather lovely in a dress. How about I get a try at impressing you . . .?" Tom growled lightly, making the human below him squeak, unwrapping his arms from Tom's neck to cover his face. The demon held onto Marco tightly and to the human's surprise, let out a small growl again.
"How cute . . ."
Star roamed the entire patio, calling out to her friend. When her voice grew tired, she had asked a few of the guests if they had seen the other 'princess' but was in no luck. The girl had explored the entire house to look for the human, yet he was no where to be seen. Worry struck her all at once, thinking of the many possible things that could have happened to him. She carefully ran out back to her first location, looking out for other areas she didn't check at all.
It was then when she set her eyes on a dark space, on the side of the house. She grasped the hem of her dress so she'd have more room to run. And well, running in heels was still pretty hard even with the dress out of the way. The princess finally rounded the dark corner, adjusting her eyes so she could have a clear vision. And what she saw, totally cleared up her vision.
There in front of stood two figures, who she made out to be . . . Tom and Marco.
The demon male had the human one tightly in his grasp, meaning his hands gripped Marco's waist and his fiery, rough lips fit perfectly with Marco's soft, calm ones. Tom continued to rub Marco's sides through the corset as the kiss they were involved with deepened. Marco brought his hands up into Tom's hair, letting his fingers tangle with the demon's locks. Star watched the duo quietly, dumbstruck as a pink color started to form on her cheeks. Her best friend . . . not to mention ex-boyfriend, were right in front of her just . . . Ohmygodohmygodohmygod what do I do?! And why am I still watching?!
However, she didn't take her eyes off of the scene in front of her, watching the two males go at it. Possibly in another person's perspective, the pair would look like a heterosexual couple, but since Star knew for a fact that the one in the dress was male, and oh yea, her best friend literally allowing her ex-boyfriend to touch and kiss him in such ways, just made her feel weird inside. Through sudden realization, Star remembered the reason why she went looking for Marco, but she didn't want to get in between the two. Especially since the kisses got rougher real quickly. The princess stood in the same place awkwardly, trying to block out the sounds coming from the pair.
That was until she noticed that Tom's hand had gone below Marco's waist, pulling at the skirt to lift it up and oh . . . she knew exactly where this was going.
"WHOA-OH-NO. OKAY. You got me, just stop! Aahhhh-" Star finally broke the silence, covering her red face with her gloved face, turning around to not face the couple.
"ST-STAR?!" Marco let out a high-pitched squeak, his face heating up more than ever, and heck even Tom could feel it. Star finished her moment, turning her attention back to the pair. Tom had allowed Marco to fix himself up, before the both of them looked over at Star. "H-how long have you b-been there?"
"Oh don't worry, not long enough for this guy to get some panty shots!" Star quickly replied sarcastically, gesturing towards the demon. Marco let out a whine at his friend's remark, as Tom's face showed it's own heat rising. The demon stepped forward, trying to stutter out an explanation. "S-Star look we can explain! Marco and I . . . we j-just-"
"La-la-la-la, I don't want to hear about your kinky episode alright? Ugh, I am gonna have nightmares . . .!" Star said out loud. With that, she grabbed Marco by the hand pulling him away from the demon. "Come on Marco, we got a birthday cake we have to go watch get cut into slices by a six year-old. Get your hair piece and let's go!"
Marco obeyed Star's command and picked up the hair piece he had removed when he revealed himself to the Prince. He quickly fixed it back on, before turning back to Tom. The demon insisted that he leave quickly, since Star stood feet away from them, tapping her foot impatiently. Marco quickly placed a kiss on Tom's cheek, before making his way back towards Star. Tom stood there, bringing his fingers to his cheek as he watched the two leave, before he left on his own as well.
The birthday song ended with everyone cheering for the birthday girl, the celebration getting louder as she blew out her special candle. Star and Marco were standing on either side of her, just like how she wanted. Star helped out with plates and other desserts being served, and she removed the blown out candle from the icing. As everyone was busy with the cutting of the cake, the birthday girl looked up at Marco, noticing something that she wanted to question.
"Hey Maria, what happened to your neck . . .?" The girl asked pulling at Marco's skirt. The question made Star's ears perk up, wanting to listen carefully.
Marco looked at the girl with a confused look, using his fingers to brush over the skin on his neck, only to let sudden realization hit him. He completely froze, stuttering as he tried to come up with an explanation, blush appearing on his cheeks rapidly. "O-oh, it's a- The necklace caught the skin . . . y-yeah!"
From his opposite side, Star snorted, trying to hold in her laughter. "Oh I know what really caught your skin." She joked. Marco's hands balled into fists, trying his best to keep a calm tone.
"Oh- I am sorry, does someone need a time out?" He said through clenched teeth, obviously getting tired of her sarcastic remarks.
"I know who wants to give you a time out . . ." She muttered under her breath, but it was obvious that Marco heard it, since he let out a small whine. He crossed his arms over his chest, the red color on his skin slowly fading.
"Star, q-quit making jokes like that . . . we are in the middle of a kid's party."
"Hah! That's why you didn't get to blow out the candle, heheh . . ."
With that last joke, Marco repeatedly smacked his head against the wall, his hands covering his ears. Star laughed uncontrollably, loving the way she was torturing her friend. He'll get over it soon . . .
Or maybe he'll make those jokes come true.
Note: Hey listen! Stay with me, got more prompts to share! Hope you enjoyed this two-shot ;) Oh god the puns.
