Star laid there on the bed, next to Marco, completely silent. Having to contemplate how to put her thoughts into the right mix of words was always an uncomfortable task on touchy subjects like this. Not so much because she was afraid Marco would think worse of her, but that she would think worse of herself.

"Star?" Marco asked softly to the girl who wasn't even looking her in the eye at the moment. "Are you okay?" She finally looked back up at him, her face contorting with conflicting emotions. "I didn't mean anything by that, you know...I was just joking-"

She silenced him with a quiet kiss on his lips. "Marco...can we talk?"

"Of course. What's wrong?"

She took a deep breath and scooched closer to him, cuddling next to him. "Everything that happened yesterday...and then our kiss earlier...I think...you know..."

"What...?"

"I think it...awoke something in me."

"What do you mean by that?"

She nuzzled her head against his chest. Conversations like this were never easy, no matter how comfortable she felt spilling her guts to the boy. "I felt...I felt tingly. And not like I normally feel, this was..."

"More?"

"Y-Yeah." She looked up at him. "Did...did you feel the same way?"

Marco hesitated. His eyes locked on hers. They had convinced themselves they had looked forward to these conversations unapologetically. And while that was technically true, there was that small part of them that was fearful of the outcome of said conversations. "...I think I did. It was...it was wonderful."

"Wasn't it?"

"But what made this one different?"

"Well...remember I said I wasn't wearing anything under my robe? A-And neither were you, right?" The boy nodded silently. "Please don't be mad, but...but it got me to think about what it looked like under the robe, and...I gotta tell you, I liked what came to my mind."

He looked down at the bed sheets, but a smile crossed his face. "Can I tell you something?" He looked up to catch her nodding. "I did the same thing with you. A-And I felt the same way." Any concerns that they made have had were temporarily evaporated, giving in to the feeling of relief & joy filling their heads. They embraced & shared a kiss. "You are so incredibly beautiful, Star. I-I'm very lucky."

"So am I. I just can't stop thinking about you. You and your gorgeous bod."

"I don't feel very gorgeous, at least compared to you."

"Marco..."

"Come on, look at you. You've got an adorable smile, gorgeous hair, perfect curves, and an incredibly beautiful butt that I can't stop thinking about or wanting to look at or hold. What do I have?"

"I'll tell you what you have." She gently caressed his face, kissed his cheek, and ruffled his hair. "You've got the cutest dimples I've ever seen, I love that mole, your hair is beautiful, I absolutely adore your slim figure, and stop knocking your tush. It may not be like mine but that's hardly your fault, and I love it anyways." She leaned in to kiss him again.

"Thanks, Star." A brief awkward silence followed their kiss. "So...what do we do now?"

"...I was going to ask you the same thing."
