Bad Boy/Princess AU

            "Do you have to use such language?" the blonde muttered, disgust in her voice, "At least do it away from my presence."

"You were the one who wanted to follow me... your majesty" the brunette half-Latino replied, saying 'your majesty' like it was the worst insult he could think of.

Star Butterfly, the blonde was obviously a princess; she had shoulder length bright blonde hair tied in a ponytail, smelling distinctly of cinnamon. She stood upright, posing perfectly as she shook her head in mock disgust. She seemed like any other fairy tale princess, except of course for two heart-shaped markings on her cheeks. See, this was no Earth princess; she was a princess from Mewni, another dimension where magic was considered normal. Today she sported her typical royalty clothing, a light blue dress that seemed to match her eyes. Not that Marco was paying any attention of course...

Marco Ubaldo Diaz (none of his friends except Star knew his middle name) had more scars than some of the royal guards on Mewni, and he certainly looked the part. Long ago in middle school, he was known as the safe kid and was always seen wearing his red hoodie. But years of bullying and a certain incident had changed him. Gone was the innocent, caring boy who would get straight As. Instead, he sported a black leather jacket over his signature red hoodie with black skinny jeans. Fingerless gloves, black ear piercings and a constant presence of bandages completed his thug look. Years of karate training had made Marco look bulky enough to be the kind of person you wouldn't normally mess with but it was his reputation as the 'bad boy' that scared people. He wasn't known as a bully, if anything his normal targets were bullies themselves. Marco had caused 3 broken bones, sent 7 different students to the hospital, had more detentions than everyone else put together and that was the things that he hadn't been caught for...

Right then, Marco had been shaking up one his many victims, Justin, for his weekly 'safety bill'. Justin was one of his most hated victims; he had bullied Marco relentlessly for years, bullied many of the smaller students and was Jackie's crush. Jackie Lynn Thomas, the coolest girl Marco had ever and would probably ever meet. He had a crush on her for what seemed like forever and yet he doubted she had ever noticed him before the incident.

Justin however, insisted he had paid Marco the day before. This really didn't matter to Marco; he would happily have beaten up Justin if he were a straight A, glass wearing thinner than thin kid. Marco had called him some... unpleasant things that would have earned Star a mouth washing.

Star Butterfly was something. She was pretty in a princessy sort of way; Marco could name a few who had a crush on her. But she was sometimes a pain in the extremo. She acted like everything Marco did displeased her; she would furrow her eyebrows while her mouth formed a very disappointed frown. His teachers, friends and parents always gave him this look when they found out he had broken a neighbor's window or 'forgotten' a homework assignment. But seeing this look come from Star made Marco feel bad. He didn't know why every time she looked disapprovingly towards him he would a pang in his chest...

"Did you have to beat him up," Star said shaking her head and looking quite upset, "whom am I supposed to go to the dance with now".

Marco stared dumbly back at her, looking like she had just spoken in some foreign language.

"You know. The school dance, which I am required to go to seeing as I am a Princess." Star said, stressing each word as if she were speaking to a child. "Thanks to your moment of intelligence, I do not have a date to the dance."

"Who would want to go with you anyways?" Marco said teasingly. But he noticed that she looked straight down on the floor. This seemed to strike with the princess who hardly let emotions take over her properness. Marco may have been a bad boy and even a bully to some, but he was not a complete jerk.

"I...I'm sorry Star, I didn't mean it like that." Marco apologized, trying desperately to make it up to her. "Look, I'll go with you okay? I mean if you want that is..."

As if by magic, Star seemed to magically cheer up as she lifted up her head with an enormous grin plastered on it. "I thought bad boys don't dance?" she asked teasingly. Normally she would not let emotions get the better of her but this opportunity to make Marco feel uncomfortable was too good to pass.

"Well I did a few dance lessons when I was younger," Marco muttered as his face turned bright red with the realization that he was going have to go to an actual school dance, with Star Butterfly. "My instructor said I was pretty good."

"Well then, I'll have to be the judge of that," Star said, blushing almost as deeply herself.

And thus the two friends continued their way home. Standing just that bit closer together, but no one noticed this. And that was the way they liked it.

Sorry for the superrr long wait. I've been EXTREMELY busy and I apologize for that. This one is a lighter and fluffier one. I have plans to continue this later on so give me some feedback and thanks so much for waiting guys. <3 THESINGHER
