How "us" began; Starco 🌸//

Chasing after you💍

Marco's Point Of View:
"Star. What could I say about her, that I like? Well, everything. She is the sweetest, silliest, thoughtful girl with a strong heart and a bright mind. I pretty much like everything about her, except when she's sad or upset. I worry about her, yeah, but should I be worrying all the time? I think it's best to say, that I am very caring and overprotective about Star. She's the other half of me, she's my home away from home. I'm safe with her and I enjoy her company lots. I wouldn't give a day from being with my best friend. My best friend."
I felt my face get warm, just a bit as Star's hand touched my cheek. I urged myself not to turn away, because I knew she enjoyed this feeling. I enjoyed it too. I placed my hand on hers and slipped my fingers intertwined. I looked up into her shining blue eyes, as blue as the clear sky. So bright, so colorful. It feels like I could see the future in her eyes, and her in mine. She gazed past my thoughts and she was the only one I thought about. Only about her. My main priority is to protect Star and to keep her safe and happy. I touched her hearts on her face and moved closer to her, I felt her heart beat like crazy. I reassured her that I was here for her for as long as I can.
"Marco..?" She paused for a bit, before I had the chance to answer her.
"Ye..." She leaned in and kissed me before I could even stop her.
I couldn't comprehend what I was feeling inside, my heart was burning, warming up a fire inside my body. I closed my eyes and felt myself let go of everything. I let myself free. I feel Star releasing from my touch. We sat in silence, until we both came in unison.
"Star!" "Marco!"
Another breach of silence came in and then a comment left by one another left them both speechless.
"Marco.. I.. I think I like you." Star shyly said, in a light murmur, noticeable to hear by both.
"Star, I.. I didn't know you felt this way, but I didn't know how I felt myself."
"Marco.. Wh-"
"Star, I think I have feelings for you too. Real, growing feelings. I've never felt this way about any girl before, and it took me tonight to realize how strong they were, for you. After all this time, I've only called you my best friend, but I lied, knowing this now that I do like you."
"Really? I didn't know you liked me back.." Star, shocked but proud.
"I've also noticed how much you stay close to me, or even wanting to be near all the time, guess I am the safe kid now, aren't I?"
Star giggled, "I guess so, Safe Kid ahah."
"I'm glad you're my home, Star. My shining star."
"I'm glad you're mine, me being yours always."
I laid down onto Star's bed with her laying next to me, I brushed her hair with my hand, she smiled up at me. I smiled back at her and kissed her forehead. I held her hands, giving her satisfaction like a prince would, to treat Star like the beautiful princess she is.
"Wouldn't it be great to visit Mewni as a queen?" I said to Star.
"I guess so, I mean, whenever I plan to go back, not anytime soon I hope." She said in a sighful whisper.
"I think it would be cool, maybe even being your prince, my Princess Star of Mewni." I said to her, gripping her hand tight as she grips mine back.
"You're right, my Prince of Mewni, sir Marco the Safe Kid." She giggled.
"I think you would make a very good prince, or king, Marco."
"You think so? Yeah sure I can fight monsters and make rocking nachos, but I could never live up to be a king."
"I believe you can one day, I know so." Star reassured me. I trust her judgement.
It was about 3 am, and the thought of school worried me a bit. It was pretty late, staying up for about 5 hours straight. I wasn't ready to let go of this feeling, because in my head, if I fall asleep, everything leaves me when I wake up, but I knew I had to let us both sleep.
"Hey Star, we should head to sleep." I told Star, she nodded.
"Do you want me to stay here tonight? I don't want to leave you tonight." I asked her.
"I don't mind. I don't want you to go either, Marco." She said, as I laid back down right next to her.
She rested her head on my chest, as I laid my head on hers. I kissed her forehead and held her hand as she fell asleep. I was actually happy. I love my best friend, and she loves me back. I didn't want any more than this. In all forgotten memory, I realized that Jackie was no more than a friend, a mutual pal. I love Star Butterfly, and Star loves me back. I love her with all my heart and I will never leave her for anything in this fatal world. She's my only home, and I hers.
"I love you, Star Butterfly. You have my heart."
