A/N: Hello internet, I'm back with another one-shot, this will be one of the 'Star the Stoic' arc. I would like to thank Exotos135 once again for suggesting the prompt and hope he enjoys.

Jacob: to the reviews.

Romantic sloth: I know it's a little dark but I never said there wouldn't be any emotional ones. The genres are there to depict what the fic is mostly about and I believe that I will be using more romance and humor than angst and tragedy. Argue if you want but I don't really care. I did rate it T for a reason.

Exotos135: I'm glad I didn't go full gore either, I've seen what other people have done with stuff like this and I could never enter that place… *shivers* anyway here's more of Star the stoic and I will start your suggestion after a couple other chapters.

Lupus Boulevard: Thank you for the thumb, but I have to ask if your okay, its almost second nature for me to help others and this is no exception. So I'm gonna ask again, are you okay?

Starcoshipper13: I will keep it up as long as I can, thank you for the encouragement.

To the fic.

After Marco had his little shopping spree after school, Star had decided she would head home and catch a few Z's. Once the two were far apart enough Star pulled out her phone and dialed a number. A few dial tones later someone picked up and began to speak in a rasp voice, like they had been gargling nails.

"What is it Star… Is the boy aware of the situation?" The voice questioned

Star sighed and replied, "No mom, but he should at least be one my side. He's shown he is willing to give up his friends for time with me… its actually kinda sweet…" Star brushed some strands of hair behind her ear and continued with the call.

"Star, what have I told you about these boys? They're only there to get in your pants or your wallet!"

"Yeah… but something's different about Marco… I think he might actually like me…" she blushed a bright pink, her heart marks glowing a little brighter.

"Star! We are only using Marco so we can protect earth from the enemy! Don't tell me your might actually feel the same way!"

"No mom, I just think he deserves a little better than this… I mean what were gonna use him for is a little harsh for humans. Mewmans are biologically stronger and have useful fighting methods so why must we use Marco?" She asked her voice raising slightly.

"Because Star! While Mewmans may be stronger, we do not have the advanced intelligence of humans and that leaves them with very efficient ways of dealing with there enemies, we need Marco because he was the smartest boy we could find with fighting experience. Now no more questions, you tell Marco what's happening and you get him on our side or you don't come home at all!" Stars mother exclaimed and hung up in anger, she was never really the loving type.

"Damn bitch…" Star muttered, she put her phone away and walked back over to Marco, he hadn't moved since he too was on the phone with a parent. Star stepped closer and tried to hear what he was saying…

"No dad… we haven't gone on a full out date, we only started dating like, 3 days ago."

Star had to admit, she was a little surprised he told his father about their relationship, he wasn't how-you-say… open. She continued to listen.

"Well I don't know if I wanna go that far yet… I wanna ease her into the idea, that way I won't force her to do anything she doesn't want to do."

She gave a small smile in his direction, she then bit her lip to stop it from moving without her approval.

"I don't know if she likes me that way dad… it could just be a crush for her… but…"

But? But what? What was he getting at!?

"I… think I like her… a lot… like… we-have-a-future-together like…"

Star gave a happy squeal, then she punched herself in the jaw, stop it! She thought, but her mind argued with her.

You like him too, you know you do!

"No! He's just a human!" she whisper shouted.

Tell that to his face! Then we'll see who's right!

"Maybe I will! You may be my brain but I can still beat the crap out of you!"

Not without giving yourself a concussion!

"Listen brain! I-,"

"Star?"

"HOLY SHIT!"

Star jumped in fright, Marco had just given her a metaphorical heart-attack. She calmed down when she realized it was only the Latino boy, but that didn't stop her from scolding him.

"Dang it Marco! You scared me!"

Marco raised his hands in innocence, "Sorry, I was just talking to my dad and I saw you over here arguing with…" he did a little spin and didn't see anyone else, "No one…" he finished, giving Star a questioning look and a sweet smile.

Star blushed a deep red and looked straight into his eyes, "I was… Talking on the phone! So why don't you mind… your own…" Her words slowed as she continued to gaze into his light brown orbs.

Marco waved his hands in front of her eyes but she just continued to stare. Marco chuckled at her strange antics, she had certainly changed since they started dating, well… around him anyway. Star still beat the life out of bullies and stole frequently, she was also still picking on Brittany Wong but Marco couldn't stop them fighting even if he tried.

Marco snapped his fingers in front of her nose and Star blinked a couple of times before realizing she'd been staring, she blushed once again and shrunk in embarrassment, "S-sorry…" she apologized. Marco smugly smirked and softly nudged her with his elbow.

"Hey, why don't we go hang out some more? My parents won't be expecting me till six and I got some cash left over." He pulled out a few notes and fanned himself with them. Star giggled softly,

Was I right or what?

Star mentally slapped herself

Ow! Hey!

She sighed and looked down at the concrete sidewalk, she wondered what Marco would think after she told him… could she even do that?

"Marco... I need to tell you something…"

Oh no…
