Marco's P.O.V.

It was me and Star's one month anniversary of being a couple, and I couldn't be more nervous. Hold yourself together, Diaz, just casually give her a rose and sweep her off her feet, running into the sunset... Yeah that's not gonna work. I was sweating bullets so much, I made a puddle of sweat where I stood.
I suddenly saw Star, wearing a rose colored dress which looked amazing on her which reached just above her knees. My mouth became dry, the dress showing more of her skin than it should. She wore a rose flower crown to match the aesthetic, and she looked like an angel. My jaw was wide open, just gaping at her like a goldfish out of water.
She walked towards me, beaming. "Happy one month anniversary, Marco!" She squealed, hugging me. I hugged back, chuckling nervously. Okay, I can do this. I pulled away and grabbed the bouquet of roses next to me, handing it to her as I grinned like a complete idiot.
She stared at the white and pink roses, and I saw a tinge of pink on her cheeks. She looked at me, her blue orbs as wide as saucers. She looked back to the roses, then to me. She slowly pointed to herself confusedly. "For.. Me?"
I couldn't help but laugh at her confusion, looking so adorable. She glared at me softly, punching my shoulder playfully. "Shut up!" She scolded, looking down. I smiled lopsidedly. "It is for you, Star. Who else is in the room?" I said jokingly.
Star blushed, and took the bouquet, smiling at me which made my heart beat a thousand times harder and faster. I gulped, trying to muster all the willpower I could have to just kiss her.
I saw her thinking for a moment, before she snapped her fingers. "Wait right here, Diaz! I got a gift too!" The blonde grinned excitedly, before running around the room, grabbing some boxes. I raised my grow, scratching my head to see what she was up to. She came back and stacked the two boxes in front of me, and stood on them shakily, about to fall.
I held my arms out near her waist on instinct, afraid she might fall. We were now eye-level, and I felt my heart drop to my stomach. Star leaned closer to me, tiptoeing just so she could reach me. I placed my hands on her waist just in case she might fall down, leaning closer.
First, we touched foreheads as she sighed shakily. She closed her eyes, smiling at me softly. "Marco.." My heart fluttered, and I felt my legs turn to jelly.
"Yeah..?" We leaned closer, our lips centimeters apart. "I... I.. L-AH!" She couldn't finish her sentence, the boxes toppling over, as she lost her balance. I quickly grabbed her, saving her from falling like the boxes. She squeaked, wrapping her arms around my neck. The blonde whimpered embarrassedly, burying her head in my shoulder.
"Damn it.. I wanted to kiss you.."
"Aw.. Well you can't if you stay this short, Star."
"Height isn't an issue if we love each other, Marco!"
"Mhm... Happy one month anniversary, Star."
