That Blasted Blood Moon Ball (Tom Lucitor x OMC)

by Auribus Tenere Lupum

Sol Butterfly, Star Butterfly's elder twin brother, is only on earth to keep his sister from blowing things up. But things get beyond his control when Star's old flame (no pun intended) shows up with the desire to take her to the Blood Moon Ball. The course of events that follow lead Sol to masquerade in her place and go as the date to the demon he hates most of all...or does he?

GOODBYE, FOURTH WALL

"What was that?" Marco demanded as soon as the carriage door closed. "You just agreed for Star to see him again!"

Sol rolled his eyes and turned to his sister. "I know you set this up, Star," he whispered. "This whole thing. Didn't you?"

A devilish smile spread across Star's face. "Maybe~" she said in a sing-songy voice. "I'm just surprised that it took you this long to realize that you're the reason we broke up."

But that thought had never occurred to Sol. "What?"

"What?" Marco echoed.

Star took off the candy skull mask and nodded. "Eyup. Tom never liked me, he liked you. As in, like-liked. He only dated me because I was the closest he could ever get. Or so he thought."

"Oh, gods, Star―" Sol started.

But she waved him off. "I'm over it. Besides, you two are SUPER cute together!" She let out a little squeal.

Sol flushed. "We...do?"

He shook himself, realizing that he was acting like a schoolgirl. "Quick question: have any of you seen Ludo today?"

"No," said Marco.

"Uh uh," came Star.

"Have we seriously gone an episode without Ludo trying to steal my wand?" Star asked, dumbfounded. "Wow!"

Sol frowned at her. "Star. What did I say about breaking the fourth wall?"

She giggled. "Sorry, Sol."

And, not for the first time, Marco had no idea what they were talking about. "Whaaat?"

"Nothing, Marco," the twins said in unison, laughing.
