Starco Fanfic

Chapter 10

After Marco told Star everything was alright, they got set up for movie night. Star brought some fluffy pillows downstairs from her room and tossed one at Marco. She threw a super fluffy blanket at him, too. They both plopped down next to each other on the couch. They were going to watch the Book of Life. Marco started the DVD player. Marco expected to fall asleep with Star's head in his shoulder, but he didn't. The many feelings he had for Star were keeping him up. Star didn't fall asleep, either.

At the end of the movie, Star and Marco just stared at each other. "Um, Star," Marco said, biting his lip. "I couldn't fall asleep because I.. I.." Star looked at him, waiting patiently for him to say what he had to say. "I couldn't fall asleep because the feelings I have for you were keeping me awake," he blurted out. Star looked at him. She fidgeted on the couch. "Well, I.." She said, twirling her hair. Marco noticed that was a habit of hers. "I couldn't fall asleep either for the same reason," she whispered. Marco looked at her, wide eyed. "I have kept my feelings for you secret for a long time because I didn't want to make anything awkward between us," he confessed, looking down. "Me too," she said, smiling at him. "I love you so much, Star Butterfly," he whispered, crashing his lips onto Star's. He cupped her face in his hand. "I love you, Marco Diaz," she murmured. They quickly pulled away, realizing what they had just done. "I, uh, gotta use the bathroom," she said, rushing upstairs. Marco put his head in his hands. "What have I done?" He whispered, crying softly into his hands.
