Tomco AU

...

A/N: I want to apologize for I have lost motivation and ideas for this. I don't know why but I have the suspicion that since it's my first ship book I get writer's to block faster...this is the final chapter and it's only half which doesn't help with my apology...BUT I promise I will make another which is a little bit better and actually involves the blood moon and how it works. Please forgive me!

Tom's Pov

I walk into the great dining hall and take a seat. One of the servants leaves a plate in front of me and I began to eat not acknowledging what the food even was. It had a strange taste but I ignored it. My mind was focused on last night. Why did I dream about Marco that way? It was so strange. I felt like I wasn't in control of my own mind...I was snapped out of my thoughts when a butler placed a piece of paper next to me saying it was a note from Zelia. She was busy seeing Marco off and clearing things up with Star. I picked up the note and read it.

"Morning, Tom~"

"Typical Zelia sounding energetic in her written words than spoken words." I chuckled.

"I wanted to inform you that our cousin is going to visit!"

I nearly choked. I swallowed my food and reread that first sentence. "You have to be kidding..."

"Also I'm not kidding. You two need to try and get along. I know you have differences but she really wanted to see you. She would have gone to the gala but...you know how she is. She hates lovey-dovey things. Other than that hope you enjoy your breakfast!

Your fav sister

Zelia!"

I lean my head onto my arm. "This is gonna be a long week..." I said with a sigh.

Star's Pov

Marco and I said our goodbyes to Queen Zelia and hopped through the portal into my room. Once we were there I turned to Marco with a deep, deep, deep, deep frown. "What were you thinking?!" I shout. He was taken aback by the shout. "What do you mean, Star?" he asked. "What do I mean? I'm talking about you being all nice and sweet to TOM!!!" Marco began to look a little angry after I said that. "Yeah? And so what?! Aren't I allowed to be nice to people who's been publically embarrassed twice by the same person?!" we then began to argue about Marcos "gOoD dEeD." Until I finally asked, well yelled, "You were the one who said guys like Tom never change so why are things different now?!" "BECAUSE THE ONLY REASON I THOUGHT HIM LIKE THAT WASN'T BECAUSE HE WAS A DEMON BUT FROM YOU TOLD ME!!!" I was shocked. He was huffing from the yelling he did. "I only judged Tom because of what you told me about him. You told me he was a jerk who couldn't control his anger and was a possessive and obsessive demon...but after what happened last night, I was able to see the side you never mentioned. He blamed himself for what happened."

I just stared. Shocked that Marco shouted at me. We fought after a dance once but even that wasn't as bad as this. "He was crying, Star. He was crying because he thought he ruined the first gala his sister was able to hold in eight years when it wasn't his fault. Zelia thinks it's your fault, Tom said so." My mind was blank. I didn't know what to say. "M-Marco I-" "I don't need to hear your apology, Star," he said firmly cutting me off. "The person who needs to hear an apology from you is Tom." Marco began walking to the door to leave. "Marco, wait!" the door was open but he hadn't stepped through yet. "I'm going to my room to nap. Please don't bother me for the rest of the day." then he left. I fell to my knees and broke down in tears. This wouldn't have happened if Tom controlled his anger. (Really? You're still blaming Tom for your mistakes? Grow up, Star!)

Marco's Pov

I shut the door and flopped onto my bed. I turned on my back and stared at the ceiling. Was I too harsh? I thought to myself. I mean...I did have a point. Tom really did regret what happened and feels it was his fault, so maybe I wasn't that harsh...I think... "Arrrggggghhhh!!!!!" I grabbed my pillow from under my head and stuffed it in my face. "Why does this have to happen?" I asked through my pillow. I slid the pillow to the top of my head and remembered what I told Tom. 

"We all do and say things we don't mean when we're mad, and sometimes we can't control how or when it happens."

I wasn't wrong. Like, just now I blew at Star and she blew at me. I didn't mean to yell at her, and I didn't mean to throw her under the bus like that. I was the jerk, not Tom. This whole time whenever Tom came around I acted like a jerk not only to him but to Star also. I pushed the pillow into my face again and groaned. Why must life be so hard when it gets turned into an adventure?

Tom's Pov

I was leaning against the large windowsill staring out at all the different dimensions that lived as one. I was so lost in thought that I didn't sense someone sneaking up on me. I was grabbed from behind and pushed to the ground. I looked to see who did it and saw a face I was not pleased to see. "Hey, cuz," she said in a sly voice. she wore a red t-shirt with a dark red skull with two bones going through it in the middle. Her shorts were black green and looked similar to mine except with no rips on the bottom, on her wrists were long fingerless gloves that had holes in them. Her hair was a mess but she managed to get two small ponytails on the side of her head while the rest of her hair was down. Her skin was a light red, almost like the Rose Moon, and four gleaming violet eyes."Zoe..." I said with a growl.

"Heyyy, that's no way to greet your cousin! Just be glad it wasn't our half-cousin coming to see you." She said getting off me and lending a hand. "And I should still be happy because...?" I said getting up without her help. "Oooh, ouch. That stung. You may be a prince but damn you can burn people without using magic! I'm proud." I rolled my eyes. "What are you even doing here?" I asked crossing my arms. Why do I feel like Marco?... I put my hands in my pockets while she spoke. "Well, yesterday I got a letter from Zelia saying that you were gonna be here and I thought, 'Hey! Maybe I could go see Tom and apologize for what I did.' And here I am!" she outstretched her arms like a ringmaster presenting the circus. I was silent for a moment. "Did Aunt and Uncle tell you to do this?" "What?! No! I moved out, like, three years ago! So they don't even know I'm here! I came because I had a lot of time to reflect on our relationship and I have come to the conclusion to let you burn me with as many fireballs as you please." Zoe stood with her eyes closed as she waited for something to attack her. She opened two eyes, then the other two.

"Wait, you're serious?" I was shocked. Zoe was willing to get harmed for me to forgive her. "Uh, yeah? This is my way of apologizing to you for what happened." I shook my head. "No i-it's not that big of a deal for you to do this!" Zoe rolled her eyes. "Tom, I made you do the biggest explosion that you've ever done! And I never apologized or paid the consequences so...fire away." She closed her eyes again and waited. I sighed. If she really wants me to do this, then so be it. I held out my hand and created a fireball. I reared back and flung it at her. I think I used too much force because she went flying backward and landed on her back with a thump and a crack! Wait...CRACK!? I ran to her and quickly apologized but she began laughing. "Holy shit Tom!" Zoe was treating this like a joke. "Zoe, your back snapped and you're laughing!?" she kept laughing. "That was awesome!" she sat up and began twisting and popping her back until it made a crack sound. "Oh, that's better!" I stared at her wide-eyed. "Tom, I'm an indestructible demon meaning I can feel pain and get broken bones but they are easy fixes so I won't die! And do you really think a fireball would take me down?" Zoe wasn't wrong. My face heated up from embarrassment which then grew to anger. "You couldn't have told me earlier?!" "Woah Woah Woah! Calm down, cuz! I'm sorry, I didn't think you'd get that worried."

I sighed and got up. "Is there anything else you came here for?" Zoe jumped up. "Oh yeah! I was thinking since Zelia was now the ruler of the 7 dimensions that I could get access to the dragon dimension!" her four eyes lit up. "I have been dying to see real dragons! ANd not the rock-plated dragons from the Underworld they're boring! Would you like to tag along??" I scratched the back of my head. I was originally debating if I should see Marco and talk to him about last night. I sighed and nodded. "Awesome! Let's go now before you change your mind!" Zoe snapped her fingers and we were engulfed in dark violet flames (just so you know, I theorized that some of the royal family members of the Underworld have different colored flames).
