Him?! (Tom x Marco AU)

Tom's POV

After weeks of trying to contact him and him basically ignoring me, I noticed that he only did that when Star was around him, so, I think I should talk a more direct approach, and I mean I can't lose anything, I've already lost Marco, so... what else is there to lose. I sat down at my table and started writing, but nothing worked, but why write down what I'm feeling and instead meet up with him and tell him the truth. The next day I walk into the classroom and him the note, which said:

Hey Marco,
We need to talk, I fell so lost without you and I really can't live without you around, and you have to tell me what happened all of a sudden.
Meet you in the toilets after the bell.

  After the bell rang I left the class first going to the toilets and waited for Marco, I know he read the note because I caught him glancing over at me. And just as expected he made it to the toilets, fidgeting with his hoody's zipper, I look at him, but his gaze was cast downward, apparently finding his shoes really interesting.

"Marco?" I ask, taking a few steps closer to him.

He looked up at me and took a few quick steps back, away from me, "I'm sorry, I'm just a little nervous, I... was just made to think about the people in my life... and apparently I was hurting someone I love..."

"But do they love you back?" I ask, taking a step closer to him.

"Y-yeah... and apparently more than I thought..." he says, picking at the hem of his sleeve.

"Then, shouldn't they be happy with you being happy?" I ask rhetorically, grabbing his hand and using my index finger and thumb to lift his chin up to make him look at me, "do you see what I mean?" I added.

His eyes well up with tears, I let go of his chin and pull him into a tight and comforting hug. He just cries into my shoulder, and even though most people are ugly cryers, Marco certainly was not. I didn't mind giving him a shoulder to cry on. I understand that he needs someone, and I'm more than happy to be that someone and I cannot help but comfort him... I mean I love him, so seeing him like this just brakes my heart.

We stay like this for a while, I wish we could stay like this forever, but unfortunately, that's not an option.

He pulled away from the hug first and I couldn't blame him we've been away from each other for a while, and he hadn't had the best time around Star and the others: eyes have had been red and puffy for the longest time, I notice sometimes him looking at me, but if Star ever catches him looking my way, she'd yell or whisper yell at him, then he'd disappear for at least 20 minutes.

So that's that, fun right? No, really? Oh well, I thought that was fun.

But anyway I hope you all have a good afternoon/evening/night/morning!
