Marco's Favorite Star ➵ A Collection Of Starco One Shots

One Shot #16: What Is This 'Cold' You Speak Of? [Part Two]

Marco's P.O.V.

I looked over to the sick Star lying on the bed as I blew on the steaming soup so that I could feed Star. After some of the steam went away, I took a scoop of the warm soup with the spoon, drawing it close to Star. Star looked at it in curiosity. She took a whiff of the scent, before looking at me again. "I don't understand why I should eat this.. I can't smell anything.." The princess grumbled, crossing her arms before letting out a sneeze. I rolled my eyes. "Oh come on, Star. Do you want to get better or not?" She thought for a moment, then nodded reluctantly. I smiled, then put the spoon to her lips, as she gradually sipped the warm soup. The hot liquid sent shivers down Star's spine, making her quiver in slight delight. "I can't taste it, but it makes me all warm inside.." Star sighed blissfully. After a few moments, the bowl was completely empty. An awkward silence filled in between us. 'Great, just when it's the perfect time to speak, my mouth goes dry and I have no idea what to say.' I thought to myself, quite displeased. "Uh.. Marco..? Thanks for taking care of me.." Star mumbled, looking away as she clutched the blankets. I could of sworn her unnatural blush caused by the cold turned ten times redder. "Y-You're welcome.." I replied softly, taking a sudden interest to the floor. And that was the last I heard from her before she fell to peaceful slumber. I looked at her figurine, and she looked perfect, even if sick. Her room looked like a dollhouse, and she was the doll. I stood up, kissing her forehead. "Night, Posa.." I murmured, stealing one last glance at her before leaving, closing the door slowly, making sure not to make it creak.

Three Days Later

I felt Star out her hand on my burning forehead before letting out a shriek. "MARCO, Y-YOU'RE SICK!" I just grinned at her, before sneezing. It was because I kissed her, well, not on the lips, but on the forehead, three days before. Star still had that worried expression on her face, until it was replaced by a smile creeping upon her face. "Hey.. I think I know why.." She mused, looking at me. I gulped, my face heating up even more. I would of done a spit take if I could. Does she know? I suddenly felt a pair of lips on mine, but it only lasted a few short seconds. I
widened my eyes, looking at Star. She just giggled. "Y-You're going to get sick again.." I stammered. Star rolled her eyes, before patting my cheek. "Look who's talking, you kissed me three days prior and now look at you," For the second time that day, I almost did a spit take.
