Author's Notes: Hey guys! Yeah it's Halloween, but I still didn't have a lot of time to write a super long one lol. This was originally supposed to be serious and scary and stuff then it turned fluffy and then... yeah I don't know.
Well, enjoy the fic!
"I'm not going," Marco said flatly.
"Awwww, C'mon Marco! Why not?" Star pouted as she waved her stuffed paws in the air.
It was the day of Halloween and the two were currently in Marco's room. A few days ago, Star had asked Marco what Halloween was, since she had been hearing the term passed around the school recently. Marco had excitedly told her all about the national holiday, explaining how it was a time for people to dress up as anything they want and get free candy at the same time. Of course, this made Star thrilled for Halloween as she thought of the endless possibilities. There were so many things she could dress up as, and make Marco dress up as as well. And for the past few days, she spent a lot of her free time picking out the right costumes for them both.
The only problem was, well, Marco wasn't exactly thrilled with the costumes.
Star had somehow obtained two giant, stuffed teddy bear costumes that coincidentally, fit both of them perfectly. Hers was a pink one with a red heart in the middle and Marco's was light brown with a yellow belly. While Marco had been taking a nap a few minutes before, she had magically zapped the costume onto him.
"I can't go like this! It's embarrassing!" Marco exclaimed gesturing to himself.
"Embarrassing? But you look adorable!" Star claimed as she took the stuffed ears on the sides of his head in her hands and wiggled it.
Marco scowled and batted her hands away. "That's just it! It's too... fluffy. No one's going to be scared or intimidated by this costume!"
"Why should people be scared? I thought you could dress up as anything!" Star shouted.
The boy face palmed. "Yeah but usually, people dress up as something scary, not... this."
Star scrunched her head for a second before an idea popped into her head. She took out her wand and waved it, zapping a pair of fangs into existence in her hands. She waddled over to Marco in her giant bear costume and, without warning, stuck them on his teeth.
Marco quickly spit it out. "Star!" he yelled. "What the heck?!"
Star shrugged her shoulders. "I thought you wanted to be scary. Fangs are pretty scary right?"
Marco groaned and shook his head. "I didn't say that. What I meant, is that dressing up as a giant, cuddly teddy bear is not going to help my reputation," he explained.
"But- you promised you would go with me on my first Halloween!" Star argued. "You can't just back out now!"
Marco recalled that memory. He thought it would have been a fun activity to do a few days ago to join her in trick-or-treating. Now, he was starting to regret his decision.
"Well, yeah, but I didn't think you would choose something like this! You fight monsters everyday! Couldn't you have chosen something a little bit more, impressive?" he said.
Star gasped. "But these are impressive! Do you know how long it to me to find costumes like these?! I had to go to at least 5 different shopping dimensions just to find these!"
Marco turned and crossed his arms. "You should've gotten someone else's opinion then," he mumbled.
Star caught his words and flinched. "Are you saying..." her eyes started watering and her lip started quivering. "...You don't like it?"
"Maybe I... am," Marco stopped as he turned back around to notice that she was on the verge of crying.
Star turned around, not letting him see her cry, and waddled towards the door. "FINE!" she yelled angrily. "I'll just go by myself then! I don't need you to help me!"
Marco felt bad and reached a paw out to her. "Wait, Star, I-"
He was cut off as she slammed the door shut. He heard her crying loudly while walking away from the door, angry but determined to go in her costume. Marco felt kind of like a jerk. He didn't really mean for it to come out like that.
He looked down at his costume. Well... she did go to at least five different dimensions for it Marco thought guiltily. He sighed and approached the door to exit his room.
"Star!" he called. "Wait up!"
Time Skip
Star bursted through the door paw-in-paw with Marco as she happily swung her basket of candy around.
"Look at all the candy we got!" she squealed as she dumped her basket on the nearby table.
Marco chuckled as he took a seat on the couch in front of the table. After Marco followed Star to apologize, she had been reluctant about forgiving him and tried to ignore him as she was walking out the door. It took Marco a good 5 minutes of coaxing and apologies to get Star to forgive him. It wasn't like it was very hard though. She could never stay mad at him for a very long time. Sure, Marco had been kind of embarrassed as some people snickered at his costume, but he felt comforted as halfway through trick-or-treating, Star decided to hold his hand/paw. No one was laughing at Marco after that.
"Yeah, thats the most I've ever gotten!" Marco exclaimed. "It'll take a whole month to eat this!"
Star smiled slyly at him. "Want to bet?"
Marco and Star grinned at each other and started munching on the delicious, bite sized, candy. They spent half the night talking, eating candy, and just overall enjoying each others presence. At last, when they finally felt the urge to sleep, they were too tired to go to their room and decided to just hit the hay on the couch. Oddly enough, the bear suits served a dual purpose as a costume AND a giant sleeping bag. So, being as tired as they were, cuddled up together lying on each other's comfortably, stuffed suits, and fell asleep. They slept through the night nice and peacefully.
Until Marco woke up screaming since Star had fallen asleep with her lips resting on his face.
