Her Song {A StarCo Fanfiction}

Chapter Eight

It only occured to Marco when he woke up in the hotel room the next morning, lying alongside Sear, who was still out cold next to him. She was breathing in and out steadily with an unusual small smile on her face.
"No, Marco~!" She mumbled despite being in her deep slumber. "You can't be so rough~! Geez, you pervert~!"
The bruenette that was in reality smiled weakly at his partner, not really sure if he should question what she was dreaming about, as he quietly got of bed; not wanting to wake Sear from whatever kind of dream she was having.

Marco wandered over to the bathroom that was suprisingly a sterile, white color; despite the fact that the rest of the room being smothered in a collection of dark colours.
The Safe Kid had to shield his eyes from the brightness of the room, before walking over to the sink and running the cold water.
'Now that I actually have the time to think about it..." he thought to himself, as the bruenette splashed his face with the cold, running water. 'Haven't I done it with both Star and Sear?'
A happy smile crept across the bruenette's face. 'It was amazing, I love the both of them so much!' He thought, happily; looking into the mirror.
"So, then doesn't that make you a two-timer?" Came a little, nagging voice from somewhere inside of his head. "You're playing with both of their hearts, Marco"
Despite the bruenette not having the foggiest idea where the voice was coming from, it seemed to be awfully overconfident!
'What're you talking about? I'm not a two-timer! I love both Star and Sear equally!' He replied, using his thoughts to communicate, because the bruenette really didn't want to end up talking to himself in a love hotel's bathroom at 10 in the morning.
"That's just your excuse" the voice continued. "How would you like it if Star was in love with Tom as well as you?"
'Well, I-I'd feel-'
"Betrayed, right? Nobody wants to have their lover be in a relationship with somebody else, other than them!"
'But I-'
"Think about it like this: How would you feel you were making out with the same lips Tom was doing the same to 10 minutes earlier?"
'I'd feel played...'
"Right? That's how Star and Sear feel right now! So just saying you're in a love triangle with them is just a convinient lie!"
'No way...Then that means...I have to go and apologise to them both...'

"...And that's why I'm really sorry about two-timing you, Star! So feel free to hate me, hit me or whatever; but I just wanted to aplologise!" The brunette said, finally feeling like he'd gotten something off of his chest.
The Safe Kid had already extended his apologies towards Sear and darted out of the love hotel, before the half asleep blonde could say anything!
Star titled her head to one side, like a confused puppy with the big innocent blue eyes to match.
"Marco, what're talking about?" She asked, being simple and straight-forward with her boyfriend. "You were talking so quickly that I could barely understand what you were saying..."
"Oh, sorry...I'm just a little on edge right now, because...y'know...I'm admitting to two-timing you..."
"With who?"
"S-Sear..."

The princesess stared at Marco for a few moments, still looking totally confused. The fact that they were just looking into each other's eyes, silently in such a serious situation made Marco feel like the tension was coiling around his neck and suffocating him, like a Boa Constricter.
'Oh god, Star's gonna murder me!' The Safe Kid thought, bracing himself for a slap or a kick or maybe even both, if he was really unlucky.
But the bruenette dashed those thoughts immeadiatly when he saw the princesses's face crack into her usual smile.

"Hate you? Why would I ever do that?" She giggled. "Geez, you have some funny superstitions, don't you, Marco?"
"Wait, what...? Why're you laughing, Star? Shouldn't you be mad at me? Aren't I'm two-timing you!" The bruenette replied in suprise, not expecting Star's reaction to be so cheerful and laid-back.
"You aren't, Safe Kid! Sear and I decided to stop our little competition ages ago! We're both just happy being by your side and receiving the love you give us!"
"Y-you guys..."
"So there's no need to get all serious and melodramatic, okay?"
"Y-Yeah..."
"We both love you equally. Do you regret falling in love with us, Marco?"
"No! I've never even considered that once!"
"Then isn't that all that matters?"
"Yeah, you're right...I was an idiot..."
"You sure were, but it's okay now"
"Hm? Why's that?"
"Because you're our idiot" Sear finished, walking through the front door, just as the three roommates came together in the middle of the room for a warm, loving grouphug...
"I love you guys so much" Marco smiled, as they all enjoyed each other's company...

But unfortunately, according to their fates, things weren't always going to stay this carefree and pleasant...
