Marco's Pov

I left the room to let Tom change and dry himself. As I waited I saw Zelia coming my way. "Hello, human!" she said. I began to panic. "H-Human?! What?! I-I'm not-t human! Wh-Who said I was human?! hehe...he..." Zelia rolled her eyes. "While you were comforting Tom I accidentally walked in on you two cuddling." my face got hot. "Y-You s-saw that?" she nodded. "Oh..." I began blushing hard. She saw us! I thought. This is soooo embarrassing! "Will you be leaving when Tom comes out?" Zelia asked. I nodded. She frowned a little. "Are you sure? It's getting late and don't you think it would be better to stay the night?" I began fidgeting. I couldn't refuse Tom's sister, what if she has anger issues? I mean, it seemed like that earlier. "You would want to rest after tonight, and I'm sure with the knowledge I have about Star is she won't be asleep at this time and once you arrive she will possibly want you to sit with her and do human things. Don't you agree?" she raised an eyebrow questioning. "You know her better than I do so it's your choice." Zelia wasn't wrong, Star would make us watch a movie or have me make my famous nachos to make up for a bad night out. I sighed. I didn't want that to happen in all honesty. Not because I would be mad at Star for freezing Tom and nearly fighting his sister who rules all seven dimensions, it was because I was really tired from everything, especially trying to stop Tom from crying all over again. 

"Alright, I'll stay the night." "Wonderful!" she said clapping her hands. "You can sleep with Tom in his room." my face heated up again. "Wh-What!? Why? I don't think he'd like that." Zelia laughed. "Don't worry! There's a reason for that!" I raised an eyebrow not believing it. "Ok, so basically, when Tom has a blowup he would have a hard time sleeping because he was scared he'd burn the room to ash in his sleep. So I'd usually sleep with him to keep him calm and relaxed." I was surprised. "Why would Tom get scared of that?" I asked. "Wellllll whenever he gets on fire he would most likely burn something on accident but sometimes he wouldn't and he thought that in his sleep his guard would be down and his fire would start as an ember and turn into flames. But when someone sleeps with him he doesn't fear anything because someone would keep an eye on that." I nodded my head understanding. Obviously, we would go to bed while the gala would still be on and Zelia wouldn't be able to keep Tom company in his sleep.

Zelia then took me to a room where I could change. "Since I will be busy taking care of the gala could you maybe tell Tom why you're in his room?" she asked before leaving. "Yeah, sure." she thanked me then left to run the gala. I closed the door and started changing into a white t-shirt with pale blue rims and leaving my dinosaur boxers on. I can't believe Tom will be seeing what I wear to bed some nights... I was embarrassed because only Star and my parents knew I slept in my boxers. I left the room and made my way to Tom's room.

Tom's Pov

I began setting the kingsized bed to my liking when I heard a knock on the door. I walk over to the door and open it to see someone I least expected to be there. "Marco?" he was standing there and he seemed to be embarrassed since he was avoiding eye contact and was rosy red. "H-Hey...Tom..." he said nervously. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "W-Well...your sister said that you sometimes get scared after a blowup and would have her sleep with you and since the gala is still going she asked me to...to sleep...with...you...i-instead..." he started rubbing his left arm nervously. "What? But-But I never felt scared, the only times she would sleep in my room would be to comfort me since I'd usually be crying or depressed from a blowup." Marco looked up and his eyes widened. "O-Oh...well I can leave and sleep in one of the guest rooms-" "No!" I yelled as I grabbed his wrist. He looked at me and his face started turning dark red. I felt my face heat up and turn a dark purple. "U-Um..." I let go. "S-Sorry. Uh, y-you can stay. B-But only if you're comfortable!" Marco smiled and did a small giggle. "Sure, I don't mind staying in the same room as you. Besides, I'm sure I won't be able to find the guest bedrooms anyway." I moved out of the way to let him in and closed the door. "You can pick any side to sleep on I don't mind." "I guess I'll sleep on the right side..."
