Starco Oneshots

Shorty

Marco had always been short. It was his curse. He was basically like a child in the eyes of most people including girls. His best friend and magical princess roommate Star Butterfly, however, was the complete opposite. She was tall. Tall and beautiful. She towered over small Marco and he thought she was amazing. A real sight for sore eyes. However, Star was a tease. She'd always been ever since they became friends. She called him all kinds of things like 'Shorty' and her favourite: 'Micro Diaz'. It was torture. She'd also call him 'cute' or adorable' just to get a reaction out of him. It worked every time.

Marco sighed as he opened his locker. He shoved some books in there and slammed it shut. He suddenly heard familiar footsteps.

"Heyyyyy Shorty!~" Star teased

"Star! What have I told you about calling me that? It's embarrassing..." he groaned

"What? It's funny to see you so annoyed and flustered" she laughed

Marco rolled his eyes as they both began to walk home. As Marco looked at Star, he realised how painfully obvious their height difference was. Marco was basically next to her waist! He groaned and trudged on towards home.

"What's eating you, Micro?" Star asked

"Ugh... nothing..."

"C'mon, we're best friends. You can tell me..." she reassured.

"Well... I just feel like we aren't really a good match, y'know Star?" Marco sighed

Star looked a little hurt by this.

"What makes you say that?" She asks.

"Well... isn't it obvious?" He pouted.

"C'mon, Marco. Height difference means nothing. It's about the quality of character!"

"Yeah, I guess. But that's not really all. I'm just short in general! I can't even get girls to take me seriously..." he moped.

"Marco don't worry about girls! You have me, and I'm one of the most important girls in your life"

Marco couldn't argue with that. She really was super important to him.

"I guess... but I want a real relationship! A girl who wants to spend the rest of her days with me despite my height!"

Star giggled to herself for a moment. She fit the bill exactly. She'd always liked Marco. She, for some reason, had a thing for deathly short and shy boys like Marco. She thought he was adorable.

"Well, Marco. Maybe you'll get lucky one day. Who knows? Maybe the girl you really want is right around the corner..." she laughed.

"Fat chance. Unless the girl is super short like me I'm done for. I'll be a girlfriendless loser forever!" He groaned

"Just stop complaining and maybe you'll get better karma"

"Okay, okay! Let's just get inside..."

When they both got inside they threw their stuff on the ground and sat on the couch.

"Ahhh!~ isn't that better?" Star asked Marco.

"Sure is..." he sighed.

Marco looked over to Star. God, she made him feel nervous. She was so attractive and pretty... She didn't even realise it. Marco then realised something. He was totally crushing on Star. How didn't he realise it before? He was so dumb...

Star looked over to Marco. He was twiddling his thumbs and looking like an adorable idiot... again. Her crush on Marco was now unbearable. She needed a sweet little petite boyfriend like him. In fact, she only wanted him. Only he fit the bill so perfectly for her kind of guy. A guy she could completely smother with affection.
