Marco had screwed up. Definitely. He shouldn't have touched Star's wand. He shouldn't have tried to make Tom act nicer to him. Because he screwed up, and he had no way to fix it.
"Um, Star?" He mumbled awkwardly, trying to ease his way out of Tom's ion clad grip. Tom only huffed slightly and tightened his arms, causing Marco to sigh.
Star glanced up from the huge spellbook that sat in her lap, giggling when she noticed the odd sight before her. Tom clung to Marco like the latino male was his only way of surviving, a lovesick expression plastered over his face. A low pink faze covered his cheeks, as of which, one was pressed flush to Marco's own left cheek. Marco looked mildly unamused, arms crossed over his chest, though there was a certain hint of embarrassment in his mostly steely gaze.
"Have you been in my spellbook again Marco?" Star asked, pressing her hand to her mouth to stifle her laugh.
"I was trying to find a spell that would make Tom nicer to me, it kinda backfired now because now he's like this." He gestured to the demon, who smiled calmly and made to capture his lips in a kiss, which Marco dodged.
"I can see that." She began to fan through the aged ages of the book, leaning over it. Her recently shortened blonde locks brushed her cheeks, the cut faded from blonde at the roots into a shade of blue that matched the skirt that she tended to dawn, she had stopped wearing the dress once she turned eighteen. Her outfit was still similar, but more colours had been added to it, and her hair hardly reached her shoulders.
Marco had changed from before as well of course. He still wore the red hoodies, however, he had also expanded his outfit choices, and walked around the house either without a shirt or in a white tank that had been gifted to him by Star a few birthdays ago. He was taller, at the least five foot ten, the most being six foot three or so.
"I found it, I think." Star mumbled, popping a stick of gum into her mouth as she hunched over the pages. Her eyes scanned the words, while Marco stood over her, trying to read as well but being prevented by Tom's grip. "What gave you the idea to choose this one?" She asked him once she had finished.
"I'm not sure. But when I was flipping through this one kinda glowed a bit, the symbols on the edges I mean, so I picked it. I didn't get to read over it because when it started glowing I couldn't see too well. The next thing I know, I was holding your wand and Tom was there and then he's like this all of a sudden." Star clicked her tongue, eyes not leaving the script.
"Well, you have to wait this one out Marco."
"What! Why?" He squeezed out of Tom's grip, falling to her side and peering over shoulder. Tom shuffled to follow him, narrowing his eyes at Star as he wrapped his arms around a flustered Marco once again.
"Well basically." She slammed the book shut, facing Marco, who had jumped which had caused Tom to growl. Star sent him an odd look before she focused back on Marco's face, with an unreadable expression. "This is one of those spells that I was supposed to avoid, it's pretty much an obsession spell, in a sort of way."
She set the wand on her lap and spun her hands in the air a few times, hearts on her cheeks glowing faintly. A low blue haze erupted from her fingers and she began to speak.
"A long time ago on Mewni, there were two people. Two guys to be specific. Same sex relationships were looked down upon at that time, so one refused to give in to the love and adoration he had for the other, causing the other to fall into a state of depression."
As Star spoke, the haze grew large enough to show what she said, figures moving around in the space following her words. Marco watched with curious eyes, not surprised because she had begun to do this quite frequently, after traveling around enough to create a deeper connection to her magic.
"The male refused to ignore his feelings, and during his depression, scoured the lands to find ingredients for what he believed would be able to create something that would allow the man he loved to cease ignoring his true feelings. Weeks turned to months, and months become years before he was able to create something successful."
The image became a masculine figure holding up a fuming bottle that was filled with a suspicious looking liquid.
"He took his potion and hid it carefully, wanting to keep it safe from prying eyes. He then began another journey, this one instead to find a spellbook with one specific thing in it. He had found it before, many many years ago, and no longer knew of its whereabouts.
The page he required had tell of how to turn a potion into a spell instead of it's liquid form. He managed to find it, after exactly two months had passed. He appeared in public enough times for people to not grow suspicious of his actions, but still spent a good amount of his time working through the transition.
In the end, the man was successful and seeked out the man he loved to act it upon him.
He lured the man out to a small social gathering, getting him alone before he cast it. However, instead of only love, the spell caused an odd version of obsession and over-protectiveness instead. The man was completely fine with that, except, he and his "lover" were shunned from society for being gay.
The spell, since it was created by potion, had no way of reversing it, and the effects may last from three days to three weeks. Depending on their relationship beforehand."
Star's hands faded and she shook her head before turning to face a sheepish Marco.
"Okay, so I just have to deal with it, that seems fine." Star smirked in response, as if she knew something that he didn't, which was probably true.
"There's some other things that could happen, but I'm not going to tell you because I want to see your response for myself." Marco frowned a bit at that but nodded nonetheless.
"Alright, we're just gonna head to my room so that I can take a nap."
End part one!
okay so like, I ah, should probably be focusing on my multi chapter fic but I had an idea and Idk if I want to continue it or not so I wrote it out and i put it here and i may add like other parts to it to show like the other days with Tom under the influence of the spell, and maybe further explain or point out the differences of them from the show and them in this story. Or, I could create my own chapter that I tell the differences between them if that's what you guys would prefer, just comment i guess... ignore my stupid grammar mistakes and chiz... bai!
