[SVTFOE] Royalty For The Mind, War For You.

Breakfast Chaos

     General POV

    Both Star and Marco sat silently at the table. None wanted to say the wrong thing, but the silence was deafening. As much as Marco was trying to be quiet, he muffled the words he wanted to spill. "Star!" he blurted. As soon as Star swung her head to him, he smacked himself for being an idiot. "Umm, you have an amazing voice? You never told me you could sing," he gulped, trying not to get on the princess's bad side. Star stared at him blankly before giving an appreciative nod. The room fell silent after that.

      Marco picked at his breakfast while Star just ate hers slowly. With bad luck by his side, he unfortunately flung a piece of food at Star while messing with his food. It hit Star right on her cheek. "Oh my gosh I am so sorry! Please forgive me, I will never do that again just ple-" he rambled before getting cut off. He couldn't think straight with that beautiful noise running in the room. It was Star's laugh. She was laughing. "Don't lie Diaz. This just became war!" she laughed. Using the fork she had in her hand, she flung some of her waffles at him.

    They stayed like that for half an hour. Throwing food, dodging it , laughing. "Ha! There is my reckless Star!" Marco cheered, picking up some eggs and throwing it at Star. Star laughed as she dodged it and hit Marco with toast. "Gah! I have been hit! Someone....avenge...me~" Marco cried, faking a death. Star giggled before realizing what she has just done.  She just threw food around the house. She laughed. She....let him lower her walls. Immediately, she grabbed her wand to fix the mess. "Huh?" Marco asked when his syrup-stained clothes disappeared, to be replaced by clean clothes. Star didn't fix her clothes since Marco couldn't land a hit on her.

    When the room was clean again, Star turned to Marco, doing her best 'Cold' princess voice. "That was a one time thing, Marco Diaz. I am heading up to my room, and we shall talk later," she said, before walking upstairs to her room. Before she could grab the doorknob, Marco grabbed her wrist, a determined look rested on his face. "Star, what is going on? One moment, you are my best friend, another moment, I have no idea who you are," he said. Star merely answered with. "Its complicated." "What is complicated?" "Mind your own business!" "Star!' "Marco!" "Star, what is going on?" "I said its none of your business! Why can't you let me help you!?" Marco froze at Star's last line.(Steven Universe Reference XD)

     Tears threatened to stream down her eyes, but she wouldn't cry in front of Marco. Jerking her hand away from him, she pushed her door open. "Just...let me do this for you." She slammed the door, slumping down and crying silently in her arms. "I-is it that m-much to protect y-you?" she cried, but not loud enough for Marco to hear. For all she knew, Marco probably hated her.. To Marco, she was not fine, and she needed help. To Toffee, the time to strike was soon.
