Starco Oneshots

Slow Dance

Marco walked down the stairs of the Monster Temple. He had the hood of his hoodie over his face and he was a crimson shade of red as he sat down at a table. Eclipsa was getting herself ready for the ball tonight. Another unnamed ball. Sigh... she noticed Marco was sitting down looking very awkward and ashamed.

"What's the problem, dearie?" She asked sweetly.

"I... I made a mistake..." he groaned.

"What mistake did you make?" She asked.

"So... sigh... you know how you, Star and Globgor are getting ready to go to this ball?" He asked shamefully.

"Yes...? Why?"

"I saw Star in her dress... and like an idiot, I called her pretty!" He said painfully.

"What's the issue?" She asked.

"That's... embarrassing!"

"For me, no... but considering you and Star seem to be a complicated pair right now I won't question it..."

"Yeah... I don't know what to do..." he sighed.

"Well... how did she respond?"

"She blushed a little and said thanks... God, I feel like such an idiot right now..."

"You were being a gentleman, Marco. You were just complementing her looks is all!" Eclipsa argued.

"Pretty is a strong word when it comes to complimenting girls..." he sighed.

"Gorgeous is stronger. C'mon, Marco... what's bugging you? Surely complementing Star isn't that big of an ordeal"

"It is! I sounded like I was entranced by her or something!"

"You were, were you not?"

"I mean... yes... but that's not how I want to let a girl know I like her..."

"I see... you'll be fine. I'm sure she just appreciates it as a friend..."

"I hope so... I don't want her to get the wrong idea..."

"Well... yes you do because you like her..."

"Well, yeah... but I don't want her to think I'm a creep for staring is all..."

"She won't. She dresses up for a reason, no? To impress..."

"You're right..."

"Of course I am. Marco, I think it's awfully sweet how desperately in love you are with her... you get flustered at the mere sight of her!"

"It's just... god... she's so pretty, Eclipsa... I-I don't know what to do! It doesn't even matter if she's just woke up or is all dressed up for a night like this... she's always so beautiful and happy and I can't stop my face from going all warm and hot and and-"

"Wow, Marco... you've got it bad...your crush is getting worse..." Eclipsa teased.

Marco nodded

"I wish you could come, dearie... so you and Star could have a nice time, but unfortunately it's for royals only..."

"Yeah I know..." he sighed.

Suddenly, Star came down the stairs wearing a beautiful Prussian blue dress.

"Heya!~ Are you ready to leave?" She asked Eclipsa,

"Me? Nearly... Globgor... not sure... you look nice, Star" Eclipsa complimented.

"Thanks, Eclipsa! And- whoa... Marco are you okay!?!?" She asked nervously as she looked over to her friend Marco.

Marco was a dark crimson again. He was right... he couldn't stop his face from heating up.
