Enjoy the third chapter.
The two teenagers walked through the front door, panting as sweat ran down Marco's face. Marco looked at the half monster girl and slightly smirked, "Did you have fun today?" Star slightly smiled and silently nodded, "Good…and…I'm sorry Brittney acted that way. She thinks she's the most important person in the world and-"
"It's fine, Marco," Star assured and Marco slightly frowned, "Thanks for standing up for me and keeping me out of trouble…I probably would've accidently killed her if you haven't had stepped in." she sighed and shook her head, "And that would've played into the monsters are evil stereotype…and I'm not like that,"
"I know…we've been hanging out all day yesterday and all day today and you haven't killed me, or done anything remotely evil," Star faintly smiled and nodded.
The two sat on the couch, watching TV before the loud clap of thunder roared and shook every window in the house. Star looked up as raindrops began hitting the window. Her eyes narrowed as she growled, baring fangs, "Easy Star, it's just a thunderstorm," Star ignored him and hissed as a bolt of lightning flashed across the darkened sky, illuminating the streets below.
Marco sighed before he rubbed the top of Star's head, catching the half monster girl's attention, "Bad experience involving thunderstorms?"
"Why do you care!" Star hissed and shook her head, "No one cares about a freak like me! Everyone is out to kill me! They just want-"
"If that were true, do you think I wouldn't have welcomed you to live with me? Do you think I wouldn't have turned the heat on last night if I wanted you dead? Or maybe that's just me trying to be nice!" Star narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms before looking away, "Look…I know you had a rough childhood, we both did, but I'm not like your mother. I won't turn around and want to kill you,"
He stood up and began walking away, "And…and where are you going?" he stopped and looked back in confusion, "Are you leaving? Did I offend you or-"
"I'm just going to make sure the windows are closed," Star arched a brow and Marco took a deep breath, "Unless you want to sleep in a room that smells of mildew,"
"Well I stayed in the dungeons for the first fourteen years of my life, so…I guess it'll be nice to stay in a room that doesn't smell of mildew," Marco nodded before he turned and began walking away.
Star walked up the stairs and down the hall. Poking her head in Marco's room, she saw the half Latino teen sitting on his bed, his shoulders slumped over and his head down, "Marco?" he looked up as Star walked into the room and sat down next to him, "I thought you were closing the windows?"
"Uh…yeah, they're closed," Star slightly frowned as Marco groaned and laid back on the bed with his arms behind his head, "Anyway, you want to order out? I'm not in the mood to cook anything and-"
"Is something wrong, Marco?" Star laid down next to him and slightly frowned, "Are you upset? I didn't mean to offend you if that's the-"
"Star, like I said, I know you had a rough childhood, so did I, but you don't have to get all defensive like that," he looked at her and Star avoided eye contact, "I'm not like your mother. If I was, do you think I'd turn the heat on last night? Do you think I'll welcome you into my home, tell you a secret that was so personal and not say anything when I woke up with you next to me?" Star slightly nodded and Marco inhaled slowly, "So…why were you growling and hissing? Bad experience with thunderstorms?"
"Like I said, I was stuck in a dungeon and no one was there to comfort me. I was frightened, I didn't know what was going on. The lightning flashing, the thunder roaring, the rain, the cool wind…I wasn't sure how to handle it and my monster instincts started to take control and I did what felt natural and started growling."
She frowned and Marco sighed and narrowed his eyes, "I'm sorry," Stat took a deep breath and slightly nodded, "Why don't we go back downstairs, play some games and see where the night goes from there." Star nodded and the two teenagers stood up an walked out of the room and down the stairs.
A small does a filler here. Sorry, but my advisors and I are planning something in the next two or three chapters. Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
