OmegaDelta: Keep reading to see who loses it first.
Star's Keyblade4114: Good to know. Almost every day. I swear it's not even funny.
Enjoy the next chapter, and I'd like give credit to RobLebron for the idea in this chapter.
Darkness covered as Marco sat in one of the guest chambers, a piece of parchment in front of him and a hardened look crossing his face. He took a deep breath and stood up, a smirk crossing his lips, "Okay, I can do this…I've been on my own long enough to know how to get away with this," he folded up the parchment and slipped it in his pocket before he turned and walked towards the door.
Opening the door, he saw Star standing in the corridor, standing outside of the room he was staying in. The two 14-year-olds stared at each other before Marco groaned and pushed past her, "How are you enjoying your stay in the castle?" Marco growled and began walking down the corridor, "Um…listen…for personal reasons, I can't sleep alone tonight and-"
"And for personal reasons, I really don't care," he looked back with slightly narrowed eyes, "So if you can't sleep, why don't you go bother your parents?"
"Because they'll have you executed, you idiot!" Star screamed and panted before Marco stared at her in confusion, "I keep thinking you're going to go up and kill me and my parents, all because of a misunderstanding,"
"You're right, it was a misunderstanding. My parents didn't have to die,"
Star looked at him and frowned, "So…can I stay with you tonight?"
"Are you kidding me? I'd rather run from those damn hellhounds guarding the gates than sleep next to a member of the Butterfly family!" Star flinched and Marco turned and began walking away, "Now if you excuse me, I have important-" he stopped and looked back with narrowed eyes when he spotted Star, with her head down, as her body shook.
He sighed and shook his head, "Look…I…do not want company tonight, it's a bad night. I have my reasons and-"
"And you think that's a decent excuse? You're in the presence of royalty and I can-"
"What? Act like your mother and order my death? Please do, it'll show all of Mewni just how messed up the Butterfly family really is,"
"We're not as messed up as you think! We protect our citizens, we keep order in the kingdom!" Star panted and Marco glared at her, "And I wanted to show you that you can trust us! That we're not going to murder you, you dumbass!"
"You have a weird way of showing that you know. Your first instinct was to point your wand at my throat," Star frowned and Marco took a deep breath, "So, this debate is over, I'm going to take care of my personal issues…and who knows, I might go back to the forest,"
"But…I invited you to the castle to get away from the forest, to give you a bed, a room to call your own and-"
"I…I guess…I mean you are the princess and you were kind enough to invite me to stay here with you and your parents…and it is the Butterfly castle…if you want to stay in the room with me…who in the hell and I to stop you,"
Star softly smiled and nodded before walking into the room, "C'mon Marco,"
"Uh…yeah…give me a minute," Star slowly nodded before she turned and walked into the room. Marco held his chest and growled as he narrowed his eyes, "What in the hell is this? I hate the Butterfly family, each one of them is exactly alike. They walk all over the peasants of Mewni, execute whoever they please and have no remorse about it whatsoever…so…are these strange afflictions I feel part of her magic?"
He patted his pocket and took a deep breath, "This will have to wait for another day…I suppose," he sighed and walked back into the room.
The two teenagers sat in the dark room in silence as time slowly slipped by. Marco looked at the blonde princess, "Shouldn't you be getting to sleep now? Don't you have to address the people with your mother or something in the-" before he could finish, Star leaned up against him, her breathing evening out.
He looked down and saw she had fallen asleep. He sighed and shook his head, "Goddamn it, and I'm stuck like this…whatever," taking a deep breath, he looked out the window with a hardened look crossing his face.
Okay, I changed a few things around, and I'm cutting chapter is because it's hot as hell where I live. Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
