Star's P.O.V.

I lay on Marco's bed, my stomach flat on the mattress, just starting a livestream. "Hey guys! Ooh, wow, there sure are a lot of people today.. seventy... one hundred twenty-five, three hundred.. Wow, you guys are multiplying fast. Say hi, Marco!" I called to Marco, who just rolled his eyes and waved to the screen.

I started talking about various things, seeing amazing comments from my classmates and other people, I just smiled, and responded to various comments. "So, you guys, I've ran out of topics, Marco, you got any?" I turned to Marco, who had earphones on, singing along to a Japanese song. I giggled, resting my head on my hand, gazing at the little dork behind me.

I felt heat rising to my cheeks, noticing all the little things about him. His adorable mole, (which he seems to hate?) the way he swings his head while singing.. I suddenly gasped, realizing that the livestream was still going on! I looked to the comments, and every comment was quite.. embarrassing. My whole body turned red, if it was possible, steam would be coming out from my ears.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I zoned out.." I stammered, nervously laughing. Heaven, please help me. They weren't buying it. Marco's song must have ended, since he stopped singing and took of his earphone, turning his head to me, with his little twinkle in his eye. "Were you saying something, Star?" I took a deep breath, trying to regain my composure. "Y-Yeah, I ran out of topics to talk about, so, what do you wanna talk about?" Marco thought for a moment, biting his cheek. "Oh, that's easy, how about your journal you refuse to show m,-" I slapped a tape on his mouth, glaring at him. 

"Marco!"

"Mmmph, lef, mmph, ouff!"

"No way, you better apologize!"

"Argh... Mmph, fime.. I'mph, phorry,"

I smiled, taking off the tape from his mouth. "You're welcome." I looked back to the comments, and one of the usernames I recognized, Starfan13, was asking a question.

"Hey Marco, one of our viewers has a question for you!" 

"Oh yeah? What's it say?" Marco asked before drinking some hot chocolate that I made for him before the livestream.

"It's from Starfan13, she's asking, from the school, which females are the most appealing and or beautiful to you?" Marco choked on his hot chocolate, burning his tongue. "Ack! Marco!" I rushed to him, rubbing his back for support. When I looked to him, his ears were red, and he had a brown milk mustache. I couldn't help but laugh at this, which made him smile back in what looked to be pain and happiness. It sent shivers down my spine.

"So, you gonna answer the question or what? Our viewers are waiting," I gestured to the laptop, the livestream overflowing with comments. Marco sighed, mumbling something I couldn't hear. "Sorry, the question caught me off-guard," He laughed, before licking his lips, thinking about the question. Somehow, a little part of me wanted him to answer my name. What a ridiculous thought. "Hmm.. From the boy's opinion overall, it'd be Jackie, Brittney, Hope and Leah," He answered simply. I sighed, smiling softly. "Classic Marco, always analyzing." I murmured. He softly punched my shoulder, grinning. "Hey, I heard that, Star." 

After a couple more minutes of casual talking to my viewers, I decided it'd be time to end it. "Well, I'll see you guys in the next livestream! Say bye, Marco!" Me and Marco waved to the computer screen, before I ended the livestream, finally lying down on my back, next to Marco.

There was a quiet, comfortable silence between us. When he answered the question, I somehow felt a teeny bit upset he didn't say my name. I'm not trying to brag or anything, I know I'm not the prettiest girl in the world, but I guess I'm decent-looking enough to catch someone's eye at least..? I guess not.. I sighed, frowning. Marco looked to me, and seemed to notice my state unfortunately. "Star? You okay?" I turned my back, nodding. "Mhmm. Just really tired," I said softly. "Okay then."

There was another complete silence between us. I felt Marco turn his back.

"Hey.. Are you upset? Was it because I didn't say your name..?" I froze. I gulped. I didn't respond.

"I thought.. You'd be upset if I said your name.." He turned to me. I couldn't even breathe properly, heck, I couldn't move properly.

"If I said you were a beautiful girl, I thought you'd hit me.." My whole body was stiff. I felt butterflies.

"...I wouldn't hit you.." I mumbled so quietly. I looked to the laptop. My eyes widened. THE LIVESTREAM WAS STILL ON!
