Popstar and the Bad Boy(StarcoAU)

Court

Song: Death of a Bachelor by Panic! At the Disco

Marco's POV

I woke up around 8 in the morning, and I looked to my side to find a snoring Star right next to me.

She's so damn cute

Carefully I wiggled our of the bed trying not to wake her up, and went downstairs to make some breakfast. I decided to make some pancakes and bacon, mmm, BACON

A little bit after I got the batter ready I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. "Looks like somebody's up."

"Sadly. My bed was all nice and cozy." Star sighed.

I laughed a bit at the half awake girl now next to me. "What woke you up?"

"The smell of bacon, duh." She rolled her eyes, trying to make it sound obvious.

The pancake batter sizzled after I poured it into the pan. "You ready for today?"

The only response that I got from the blonde was a loud groan.

"I'll take that as a no." I flipped the pancake with the golden side facing me.

She groaned some more and sat down at the wooden table in the middle of the kitchen. "Toffee was really nice to me, but now he's such a pain in my ass." She blew a piece of hair off her face. "I bet you he'll get his lawyers to get the judge to think he's innocent.

"Yeah, because kidnapping a famous singer and lying about it definitely won't get him 20 years or more in prison." I rolled my eyes.

"True, but still. You never know. Oh, and today, can you wear something nice?"

"Of course." I gave Star and kiss and put the fresh pancake on a clean plate next to the syrup.

She licked her lips and dug right in, leaving me chuckling at the silly girl. After about thirty minutes of talking while eating our breakfast, we decided to get ready.

I got changed into a red dress shirt with a black tie, and gray dress pants. Once the top of my hair was combed to the right side, I put on my black shoes to finish the look.

Star had on a navy blue loose dress with white polka dots all over, and sleeves that went down to her elbows, and white flats to accessorize.

She took in a deep breath before talking. "Let's go."

...

We stopped in front of the city's courthouse and looked up to the top of building. "This is going to be a long day."

I nodded in agreement and we walked into the building, not known what is going to happen in the next couple of hours.

There was a nice lady at the front desk, who lead us to where the trial was being held. She had asked us to sit outside of the room until we were called.

...

Star and I had supposedly fallen asleep with our heads resting on the other's, because next thing I knew we were being called by the judge to have our statements be heard.

When we walked through the aisle to go up front, next to us was Toffee with hand-cuffs and his lawyer. Star had seen him also and her grip on my hand tightened.

He lunged forward making Star gasp and jump backwards. My arm went around her waist, directing the both of us to where she was supposed to sit. She sat down and looked up at me with puppy eyes.

"Don't worry I'll be right behind you Star, the whole time." I gave her a warm smile and a small kiss on her cheek. "Let me know if you need anything."

A smile appeared on her face and she nodded, her head turning whence judge slammed his hammer on the table. "Order in the court, order in the court. We are here to see if Toffee Litterman (I honestly don't know this is the best thing I came up with lol) is guilty for the supposed actions of kidnapping Star Butterfly."

Star had walked up to the podium next to the judge as the Police officer motioned her there.

"Now, Star Butterfly, can you tell me your side of the story of how it happened."

"Well, after I had sung at The Stop and Slurp's fundraiser, I went to go exit the stage, and there was Toffee standing there, blocking my way to see my friends. He shoved a piece of cloth in my mouth covered by duct tape, and tied my legs and feet together.

"Next thing I knew I was being carried out on his shoulder, and he escaped the theatre with Marco lost somewhere in the building. Toffee forced me to do many chores for him, and if I didn't do it for them, he'd either threaten my family and friend's lives, or beat me.

"Eventually Marco and Janna were able to find me by a trail of clues that Toffee left for them to try and find me, and got me out of there, with the hospital as my next trip. And... that basically leads us to where I am now." She sighed looked over to me with worry in her eyes.

"Thank you, Mrs. Butterfly. You may head back to your seat." The judge cleared his throat before speaking again. "Mr. Litterman, it's your turn to tell what happened that day."

Toffee stood up from his chair and walked up next to the judge, where Star was just sitting.

"Star Butterfly, as you know, had been singing. But what you didn't know, was that she had been drunk. I wanted to talk to her about an argument we had, and she came up to me all wobbly, and asked me to give her a ride home. Of course I didn't think she'd be safe at her friend's house, so I took her to mine.

"She thanked me for what I did when she was drunk, and in returned, Star offered to do some chores for me. I did need some help around my theatre, and said yes. While she was helping me dust, she fell down one of the stairs and got some bruises and minor injuries.

"That's when I called an ambulance to make sure Star was okay, and two of her, friends showed up." He spat out friends like the word was dirt.

"And if that is all, then we are going to give each witness questions with a lie detector." The judge slammed the hammer into the table once more before people started to get up our of their seats.

The devious smile that was plastered into Toffee's face shrunk down to a frown.

Star rushed over to me and gave me a tight hug, almost making me fall backward. "How did I do Marco? I was so nervous up there with all of the beast little eyes watching me in the audience."

I chuckled a bit before responding. "You were fine. This lie detector test will show everybody what Toffee's actually like."

We kissed but then a speaker same on over our heads. "Star Butterfly, please report to room J-19. Star Butterfly, please report to room J-19. Thank you." There was a click noise before the blonde looked at me.

"Guess I got to go Marco, thanks for everything." Star said.

"All I wanted was for Toffee to go to jail for the things he's done to my Star." I said wrapping my arms around her waist. She gave me a quick kiss before jogging out of the room.
