Author's note: Before I start, I would like to tell you I am Starco trash. Now that that's out of the way, I felt so happy and satisfied with what happened in Bloodmoon Ball I'm just writing like crazy right now. This one is a cute little one I came up with a while ago while reading some fanfictions about Star and Marco sleeping together. I took a crack at it and this is how it turned out (I had way too much fun writing this one). Also, this is a gift for being 2 days late on posting chapter 6 on my other fanfiction. Anyways, enjoy the fic!

It was dark. Star couldn't see anything. She wandered around in the darkness for a while.

"Where am I?" she said trying to find a light switch or something that would help her see where she was.

As if in reply, the whole room lit up. Well, it wasn't really a room anymore, more of a scene. As it turns out, she was standing in the middle of a war torn Mewni, fires blazing everywhere with a giant, transformed Ludo in the distance wrecking havoc.

"No! This can't be! What happened?!" Star panicked. She patted her dress pockets (Where does she keep her wand?) to see where she had put her wand to find out she actually didn't have it with her.

"Wait, what the?" She desperately looked around her to see if she had dropped her wand. She had to stop Ludo before he caused anymore destruction. How did he transform like that? she thought. I thought he couldn't do that unless... She squinted to see Ludo holding the wand in his hand, now a scepter of death and destruction.

"How did he get it?!" she shrieked. She looked around the battlefield to see thousands of injured soldiers that failed to stop Ludo's rampage. "Is this my fault?" she thought out loud.

"No... it-it can't be," she backed away.

She started feeling light headed and began seeing stars. The world around her was slowly spinning as she slowly fainted onto the hard, war ravaged ground.

"AHHHHHH!" Star screamed as she woke up. She quickly sat up from her bed and took in her surroundings.

Thank goodness it was only a nightmare she thought. It had been a couple of months since she had left Mewni and was starting to get worried about her home. She knew very well Ludo wasn't any threat to Mewni unless he had her wand, but that didn't help her homesickness for her home dimension. She felt the table next to her to find her wand still there.

"Well at least it was only a dream," she thought aloud. She laid back down on her bed and tried to go back to sleep. "Agh! I can't sleep. The dream seemed so real," she groaned. Although being tired and 3 am in the morning, she decided to go visit Marco's room to see if he was awake or could have something that could comfort her. She slowly cracked open the door and poked her head in his room to find him peacefully sleeping. She giggled. She had always thought he was cute when he slept. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head as her hearts on her cheeks changed to lightbulbs. She slyly grinned as she realized how she would get back to sleep. She happily skipped over to Marco's bed after closing the door and plopped herself down on top of one of his open arms. Thankfully, he was still asleep since he was a deep sleeper. She felt at peace here in his arms yet was blushing madly, enjoying the comfort her best friend brought. She curled up into a ball next to him and slowly closed her eyes.

"Goodnight Marco," she whispered with a smile on her face as she fell asleep.

(9 am)

It was a bright and sunny morning in the Diaz household. Marco Diaz had woken up yet was still a little drowsy from sleep.

"Good morning world," he yawned as he tried to get up. However, he realized he couldn't because his arm was stuck under something.

"Huh? What the?"

His eyes shot open as he looked up the ceiling, afraid to see what was lying in his arms. To his horror, he realized that whatever was in his arms was also breathing, curled up against him, and its head strangely smelled like lemons and strawberries. He dared to look at the thing that was cuddling him and realized... it was Star.

"Oh no. No no no no NO! What have I done?!" Marco whispered in panic, trying not to wake Star. He was always prepared and ready for most situations but this, he would have never expected to happen.

Ok ok ok calm down Marco. Think, what happened last night? he thought. He remembered getting into his pajamas and saying goodnight to Star but had no memory of how she got into his bed.

Maybe she came into my room? he thought. No no no that doesn't make any sense. Why would she come in here anyway? There has to be something I'm missing.

He scanned his memories trying to think of how he could have possibly gotten into this situation, then gasped in realization and fear. In his desperate attempt to avoid the obvious, he had thought of an absurd idea.

What if... I started sleepwalking while I was having a dream of Star but I just don't remember it! he thought crazily. Lately, he'd been having dreams of him cuddling and kissing his best friend that he just couldn't shake off. Marco thought he had dragged Star over to his room and started cuddling her, all in his sleep.

Oh gosh I can't let her see us like this. She's going to freak out and hate me for making this so awkward! he thought. Marco started to formulate a plan. First, he would try to slip his arm out from under her. Next he would slowly inch away until he was off the bed and go make her waffles to apologize. Finally, he would move out of the country, change his name to Pedro, and live off the rest of his life selling nachos.

It sounded like a solid plan to him so he decided to take action. Careful not to wake her up, he slowly started wiggling his arm out from under her. It seemed to be going relatively well as his arm was almost free until the situation became even more complicated. Right as Marco freed his arm, Star, who was still asleep, wrapped her arms around Marco's entire body as she snuggled up closer to him.

Well this is going terrible he thought on the verge of panic. Both his arms were now locked at his sides in Star's giant hug. It's okay though I can still make it out of this alive. I just got to get out of her grasp.

Marco every few seconds tried to wiggle his way out, but in vain. Every time he tried, Star's grip would tighten a little bit more. Also, the fact he was actually enjoying his little cuddling session with Star didn't help his resolve at all.

Oh gosh what do I do now?! Now I'm going to have to tell Star the truth when she wakes up! This cannot possibly get any worse he thought. That was when the front door opened.

"Hey Marco your parents let me in a-" Ferguson walked in and stopped, his eyes widening and jaw dropping at the scene before him. He stood there frozen trying to take in what was happening while Marco stared at him in surprise and embarrassment.

"I'll just wait downstairs," Ferguson said after a few moments of silence, still stunned about what he had just seen.

"Ferguson hold on! What are you doing here?!" Marco hissed at him. He was cursing everything in the known universe at what terrible luck he had.

"Me? You said we were going to visit the video game store today!" Ferguson exclaimed.

"Yeah but why are you here so early?!" Marco whispered. "And keep it down you'll wake Star!"

"I thought you'd be awake already and wanted to go the store early, but never mind that. Now tell me what are YOU doing HERE?" he said baffled as he pointed to the position Marco was in.

"Marccooo," Star mumbled in her sleep with a smile on. Marco blushed a very bright red.

"Look Ferguson it's not what you think!" he said.

"Sureee it isn't," Ferguson said sarcastically. "You know if I'm interrupting something, I can just wait downstairs until you guys finish... whatever your doing," he said looking at the pair weirdly before turning around.

"Ferg hold up!" Marco cried out desperately.

Ferguson stopped right before he stepped out the door. "Yeah?"

Marco sighed. "I'll tell you what happened but I need your help."

Ferguson closed the door, turned around, and walked back in the room with his arms crossed and a sly grin spreading across his face.

"Ok ok so I went to bed last night like normal right?" Marco whispered.

Ferguson nodded smiling. "Go on."

"Well I'm not sure what happened that got me in this mess, but I think I dreamt about Star and dragged her from her room to my room in my sleep," Marco said ashamed.

Ferguson looked at him confused. "Er are you sure she wasn't the one came into your room? Your story sounds kind of ridiculous," Ferguson said unsure.

"Ferg that's crazy talk. Why would Star come into MY room?" Marco whispered rolling his eyes.

Ferguson thought about it for a second then nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah why would Star like you?" he chuckled. "She's a princess, you're a normal guy. She's popular your not. She's hot and your-"

"OK ok I GET it," Marco said annoyed. "Hold on a minute, did you just call my best friend hot?" he said raising his eyebrow.

Ferguson rolled his eyes. "It's not like I like her that way or anything. Every guy at school admits it except you."

"Every... guy?" Marco's throat became dry. He felt as if he wanted to strangle every single other guy at school who called her that. He knew there had to be a lot of guys who wanted to date Star, she was practically friends with everybody. He also knew that Star has had a few crushes on some guys at school which didn't help his mood. He suddenly felt like he didn't want to move from his position, and instead wanted to wrap his arms around her, to keep her safe.

"Well yeah pretty much every guy I guess, but one thing I know for sure is that a lot of them are jealous of you," Ferguson replied.

"Me? Why would they be jealous of me?" Marco said inquisitively.

Ferguson chuckled. "You haven't realized? You spend the most time with her out of anyone else here on earth. No one sees you guys NOT together."

Marco turned his head to the ceiling and was silent for a few moments. Do we spend that much time together? he thought/ He tried to remember the last time he and Star had been apart for more than an hour, besides sleeping. He found that Ferguson was right, he didn't even know if they had ever been separated for that long. But I'm no one to be jealous! Star could never like me! She likes guys that are buffer, stronger and funnier. I could never be that to her he thought depressingly.

"Marrrcccoooo," she sang in her sleep as she moved even closer to him to the point where her face was touching his cheek and was basically resting on his chest.

"Alright alright whatever Ferg we can talk about this later. Just please help me before Star wakes-" Marco stopped as he looked at him.

"Dude what are you doing?!" he whisper-screamed.

Ferguson was holding his phone up taking pictures of the scene while holding back his laughter.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" he said still attempting to hold back a laugh. He looked at the pictures he took. "But this is perfect blackmail for later!"

"Ferguson!" Marco said angrily. "You better delete those pictures or when I get out of here I'm going to-"

"All right fine then I guess I won't help you, considering I still want my bones to be intact," Ferguson said as he started walking out the door.

"No wait!" Marco said desperately.

Ferguson snickered. "Yesss?" he said elusively.

"Please, I'm sorry! Since your here, I need you to help me!" Marco said in desperation.

"Hm let me think about it," Ferguson said putting his hand on his chin pretending like he was actually contemplating his answer. "All right I think I will." Ferguson smirked walking back to Marco's side. "So what do I do?"

"Ok see if you can pry her hand off from my side," Marco instructed. "If you can get her arm off of me I can escape."

Ferguson nodded then took out his phone and started typing on it.

"Um Ferguson what are you doing?" Marco said.

"Duh, what do you think I'm doing? This kind of situation needs the right kind of music," he explained.

Marco panicked. "No wait! You can't do that! Star will-"

He was interrupted as the theme from Mission Impossible started playing through Ferguson's phone.

"Relax Marco! I've always wanted to do this!" he said.

"Pry a girl off your friend while she's asleep?" Marco said raising his eyebrow.

"No I've always wanted a reason to play this awesome song!" Ferguson said. "Now lets do this!"

Ferguson put his hand on his chin as he closely examined Star's hand while he made sounds to imitate the song that was playing.

"Dun, dun, dun dun, dun, dun, dun dun, dododooooo, dododoooooooo-"

"Dude would you stop that?! All you have to do is help take her arm off me!" Marco whisper-yelled.

"All right all right already! Geez, someone wants to rush things," he muttered.

Marco decided not to respond to that as he tried pulling Star's arm away, but to no avail.

"Don't pull her arm!" Marco hissed. "Take her fingers off of me on by one so she'll release her grip!"

"Ok fine," Ferguson said as he got to work trying to take her fingers off of him. However, every time he took off one finger, it just reset back to the position it was in before.

"Hm, looks like I'm going to need some help," he murmured.

"Huh, what?" Marco said.

"I'll be right back. Just stay there!" Ferguson said racing out the door.

"Stay here? Where else can I go?" Marco muttered.

A few minutes later, Ferguson came back with Alfonzo.

His eyes widened and jaw dropped much like Ferguson when he first came to the scene. "What the-"

"C'mon buddy no time to explain! We need to get Star's hand to stop gripping Marco so he can escape!" Ferguson pointed at her hand.

Alfonzo nodded as they both got to work getting Star's arm off of Marco.

"Alright pull all her fingers off of him on the count of three," Ferguson said.

Alfonzo nodded. "1...2...3!" Ferguson whisper-shouted as they pulled Star's fingers. They were able to get her to relinquish her grip from Marco.

"Yes you guys actually did it! Now I can-" Marco stopped as Star's other hand suddenly snaked its way under his head and held him there, hugging him. Still in her sleep, she used her arm that Ferguson and Alfonzo pried off to grab them and threw the the two friends across the room out the door. She then put the arm back across Marco, a smile plastered onto her face.

Now Marco was on his side facing Star as she hugged him hard enough to the point that their lips were only a few inches away from meeting.

"Guys help!" Marco whispered. "Star is REALLY going to hate me if she sees us like this! You guys need to take both her hands off me now!"

Ferguson and Alfonzo both walked back in the room groaning and rubbing their heads. "And we were so close too," Ferguson mumbled. "We definitely need some more backup. Alfonzo follow me!"

"What? More backup? Stop no, bad idea!" Marco called to them. It was too late though, they had already ran out the door.

This is going to be bad Marco thought.

Soon, the pair arrived with Star's friend Daron (Starfan13), her jaw dropping and eyes widening as she witnessed the scene.

"Really guys?! Is it that hard to just pry her hands off?!" Marco exclaimed.

"Hey it's harder than it looks." Ferguson shrugged. Then they heard a rumbling outside as Ludo and his minions broke into Marco's room through the window. "STAR BUTTERFLY! I WILL HAVE-" Ludo stopped as he and his minions eyes widened and jaws dropped, taking in the sight they were seeing.

"Seriously?! You too?! Could you guys stop making that face!" Marco exclaimed annoyed.

"W-what the heck is happening here?" Ludo said, still stunned.

"Marco thinks he dragged Star here and cuddled her while he was dreaming," Ferguson explained nonchalantly. "Now you going to help us get Marco out of this or what?"

Ludo and his minions slowly nodded, still trying to comprehend what they were seeing.

"Ok guys grab on to Star's hand!" Ferguson shouted as everyone grabbed her hand. "Now pull!" It took everyone's combined effort but they were able to pull both her hands off of him.

"Yes we did it!" Everyone cheered as they presented Star's opened hands to gloat about.

Marco started to get up from his bed. "Yes! Thank you guys! Now I'm finally-"

"Um guys?"

Everyone turned to look where the voice was coming from. Star was wide awake with a confused look on her face. Her friends, Ludo, and his army were holding up her hands as she was lying down on the bed Marco was sitting up in. "What's happening? Why is Ludo here? And why is the Mission Impossible theme song playing?" she said.

Ferguson quickly grabbed his phone and turned off the song, smiling nervously. "W-w-well you see... Er this is awkward. Marco will explain everything. We'll just wait downstairs," he said pointing at the door. Alfonzo and Daron nodded as they followed Ferguson out the door as it closed.

Star then looked at Ludo. "Uh well, I think we'll just come back when it's... less awkward," Ludo said as his minions nodded nervously. He opened a portal in the room in which he and his minions walked in, leaving only Star and Marco the only ones in the room, sitting on the bed.

"Marco what's going on?" Star said arching her eyebrow at him.

Marco jumped out of the bed and held his hands up. "Star I didn't mean to I swear! I was asleep and I didn't know this would happen!" Marco exclaimed.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" she questioned him.

"Ok so I was asleep in my bed yesterday right? I think I might've accidentally dragged you here in my sleep and c-cu-cuddled you," his voice cracking at the end. "And that's how you ended up in my room."

Star looked at him confused for a moment before remembering what really happened last night. Realization of what happened and what situation they had been in struck her like lightning. She thought it would be interesting to hear his side of the story.

"Ok so what happened next?" Star goaded him, trying to hold back a laugh.

"Well then what happened next was-" Marco explained the rest of the story, spewing apologies once in a while as Star looked on at him with amusement.

"...And that's what happened," he finished. "I'm so so sorry!"

Star giggled as Marco looked at her, confused.

"Why are you sorry Marco?" she said.

Marco was taken by surprise. "Well I thought... you would, I don't know, hate me or something for doing that. I mean, I know you probably have a crush on some other guy and this would be awkward for you."

"Oh? Who do you think I have a crush on?" Star said.

"I don't know. Maybe some of the cooler, more muscular guys." Marco replied, feeling a little upset about the fact she probably liked someone else.

"What makes you think I don't... oh I don't know, like you?" she said innocently.

Marco, being oblivious as ever, laughed, slightly bitter at what he thought was a joke. "Real funny Star. I know you, and I know you like bad boys and stronger guys. Besides, I'm just some normal guy you met and your, well, your every guy's dream girl," he said depressingly.

"Aww how sweet," she cooed.

Marco blushed. "W-w-well it's true."

Star smiled. It was silent for a few seconds, Marco looking down at the ground, feeling embarrassed and a little depressed while Star looked extremely happy.

"Did you like it?" Star said softly.

Marco looked up at her, confused. "Like what?"

"Did you like cuddling with me?" she repeated, a giggle starting to come out of her.

Marco looked at her in surprise. As he looked at her, he found how entranced he was with her, and felt like it was impossible to tell anything but the truth to her.

"Well to be honest," he started. "It-it was nice." He blushed madly turning his head away from her.

Finally, unable to hold it in anymore, Star burst out laughing.

Marco looked at her funny. "What's so funny?" he said.

She wiped a tear from her eye that formed from laughing as she settled down. "Oh Marco, you didn't sleep walk or drag me out of my room," she said.

"What?" Marco said. He was now utterly confused.

Star smiled at him. "Last night I had a really bad dream," she started. "And-and I got really scared and couldn't sleep sooo I went to your room and slept there," she said her voice becoming a little bit more shy as each word came from her mouth.

"But-but-you a-and m-me we-" Marco stuttered.

"Marco I fell asleep hugging you on purpose," she said. "Every time I'm with you, the feeling I get reminds me of home." It was now Star's turn to blush.

"Does that mean you-" Marco started then stopped. His mouth opened and closed but no clear sound came out to finish his sentence.

Star smiled at him then pulled him closer to her as she wrapped her arms around his neck, staring into his eyes.

Marco couldn't believe what was happening. He had always thought he would be the last person Star would like. "But I-I thought you liked those other guys at school," he stammered.

"Oh I used to but not anymore, after I found out about my feelings about a certain someone," she said happily.

"You-you like me?" Marco stuttered.

Star smiled the widest he had ever seen her smile. "No Marco I don't like you. I love you."

She leaned in and closed the distance between her and her best friend, the person that had always been there for her. Marco was still stunned about what was happening but quickly closed his eyes and reciprocated the kiss. They had never felt anything like this before. It was different from any other crushes they've had in the past. The both felt at home with one another, like they were sitting by the fire just enjoying each other's company. It was the best feeling in the world, and nothing could replace it.

Star pulled away from Marco, who was left in a daze, and smiled, like she had just won the lottery. Marco quickly came back to earth and smiled back at Star, thinking about how happy he was at this moment.

They both sat in silence for a second, just enjoying the company of one another.

"Well, we should get dressed and explain things to the guys downstairs," Marco said.

"Yeah, we have a lot to explain," Star laughed.

They both got up and walked to the door, hand in hand.

"Oh Star I forgot to tell you something," Marco said as he stopped her before they got out the door.

Star looked at him questioningly. "Yeah?" she said.

Marco grinned and gave her one more kiss on the lips. From that point on, he decided that he could never get tired of her kisses, no matter how long he lived. As he pulled away, they both smiled at each other again, in complete bliss.

"I love you too Star," Marco finished.
