After the little exit that (Y/N) did during lunch, she was basically avoiding both Star and Marco. No matter how many times Star tried to engage a conversation with her, she would always just nod, shake her head or just shrug her shoulders and then going away to do something else.

It was finally after classes and Star had the brilliant idea of walking home with (Y/N) together with Marco but being the quick person (Y/N) is, she's already outside of the classroom and walking away. ''A-Ah, (Y/N)! Wait up!''

Star frantically packs her things and slings her bag over her shoulder, running to catch up to (Y/N). Marco followed behind Star with a look of worry and concern visible in his face.

''Wait, Star.'' Marco places his hand on Star's shoulder which caused Star to stop. ''What is it, Marco? You can tell me while we're trying to catch up to (Y/N)!'' She was about to run once more but Marco stopped her.

''I'll go catch up to her and talk to her. You can go ahead and go home.''

''But...'' Marco gives her the puppy-dog eyes look to which he knows that Star can't resist. She gave off a defeated sigh.

''Fine. But, you better make sure that she's back to normal by tomorrow so that we can go to the smoothie shop after classes.'' Star crosses her arms at her condition. Marco simply grinned and gave her a thumbs up.

''You got it, Star!'' Marco runs off to catch up to (Y/N) while Star is left behind. She looks down to the ground and sadly smiles before walking home alone.

In the distance, Marco finally caught up to (Y/N). ''Hey, (Y/N)! Why didn't you wait for us?'' There was no response. (Y/N) just kept on walking without looking into his direction. Marco didn't feel like giving up so he just told (Y/N) some other stories that happened in his life while they walk home.

''Can you please stop?'' (Y/N) stopped on her tracks and finally began to speak. Marco, on cue, stopped talking and looked at her with curiosity. ''Oh, is the story not too pleasing for you? Don't worry, i got--''

''I wasn't talking about that!'' (Y/N) shouted with a hint of anger in her voice.

''(Y/N)? What's wrong? You can talk to me, you know?'' Marco smiles and starts to walk closer towards (Y/N).

''We're friends.'' (Y/N) gritted her teeth at the words that Marco spewed from his mouth.

''What's wrong? What's wrong?! Everything is!'' He stopped on his tracks and listened to whatever (Y/N) had to say.

''I knew that i didn't have a chance. I knew that i wasn't good enough. I knew that there really is something wrong with me but you don't have to torture me like this! Every time, every time, every time, every time, every damn time, Marco Diaz! You know how i felt all this time yet you just ignore it like my feelings are just meant to be thrown away! You built my hopes up and you just broke it down like it's nothing! You knew from Jeremy that i like you but what did you do? You straight up acted like you don't even give a single damn care at all! What happened today at the cafeteria? Yeah, don't act dumb! You said that you wouldn't hurt my feelings and you won't ever hurt me again but what did you do today, huh? Yeah, you know what? I'll just tell you this...!''

(Y/N) turns around with tears streaming down on her cheeks like waterfall and her eyes are both filled with sadness and anger.

''I love you! I really really love you! I love you from the bottom of my heart! I love you more than i love myself! I love you more than the entire world! I love you more than the entire universe! I really love you, Marco Diaz!'' She screams out and crumbles down to the ground in defeat. (Y/N) held her face with her hands.

''Please... Please tell me the truth. Please tell me how you really feel about me. Please be honest with your feelings. I want to hear the truth coming out from your mouth. I will leave you alone if you don't like me because i understand. I am too difficult to handle, even as a friend.''

Silence. The breeze simply flowed through the two. Marco just stood there and (Y/N) just knelt there. Neither of them said anything but only hiccups and the small sobs that came from (Y/N)'s mouth.

''(Y/N)...'' Marco softly spoke up and (Y/N) tensed up. He begins to walk towards her with his eyes covered by his brown hair. Then, he slowly kneels down and cups both of (Y/N)'s hands. She felt the warm touch that emitted from Marco's hand and moved her hands away from her face.

As soon as she did, Marco placed his lips onto (Y/N)'s slightly pale lips. He held both of her wrists while kissing the surprised (H/C) haired girl gently and softly. The surprise has been worn off from her face and eventually kissed Marco back.

The two slowly parted their lips and the dullness that engulfed (Y/N)'s eyes went away, life regaining back in her (E/C) eyes. Emotions surged through her body as she placed her hands over her lips with her face extremely red up to her ears. Small tears were still visible in the corner of her eyes.

Marco's face was also extremely red that he had to look away out of embarrassment. ''I choose you...'' He mumbled. (Y/N) rose one of her eyebrows as to what Marco just mumbled underneath his breath. Marco turned back at (Y/N) with a grin and the blush still visible on his face.

''I choose you, (Y/N)!'' He lifted (Y/N) off of the ground and spins her around with happiness plastered on his face. She didn't speak for a second but then chuckled and wiped the tears that were on the corner of her eyes.

''You idiot, i'm not a Pokemon.'' Marco puts (Y/N) down and intertwines his hand with (Y/N)'s, looking into her eyes.

''(Y/N), i love you from the bottom of my heart as well. You captured my heart like a little thief and i captured yours. For that, i am glad that we both love each other as well. To be honest, after the talk that i did with Jeremy, i still had a small crush on Jackie but at the same time, i also had a crush on you. I knew that i had to choose and so, i choose you, (Y/N). It's better to be with someone who loves you than to be with someone who doesn't.''

''No stress, (Y/N). My love for you is never in doubt. I might not be the best boyfriend out there but i'll try to be for you.'' (Y/N) gasps at this and begins to blush tremendously.

''So, you're saying that...'' Marco nods and gives (Y/N) another kiss.

''Yes. I accept your confession and i would love to be with you as well.'' (Y/N) is so overwhelmed by Marco's answer that she threw her arms around Marco. He spins her around while they laugh at each other.

In the distance, Jeremy and Star looks at the new couple.

''Finally! (Y/N) and Marco sure took some time to say it!'' Jeremy stretches both of his arms but smiles nonetheless. ''Well, at least they're happy together. What do you think, Butterfly?'' Jeremy turns around to look at Star who softly smiles and looking at the laughing couple.

''If Marco is happy with (Y/N), then i am happy too. That's really all that matters.'' Star begins to play with a strand of her hair while Jeremy just looked at her for a second.

''Wow, you're not so good at lying, aren't you?'' He crossed both of his arms and Star stumbled for a second. ''W-What do you mean?'' Jeremy sighs and glances over at Marco.

''You like Marco too, don't you?''

That simple question was enough to make Star twitch. She didn't answer for a while.

''I knew it.'' Jeremy closes his eyes and stares at Star who is frowning. ''Let me ask you another question; what are you going to do now that Marco and (Y/N) are together?'' Star didn't answer.

''Are you going to tear them apart? Let them be happy while you drown yourself in your broken feelings?''

''No! I won't tear them... apart... I...'' Star exclaims but her voice died down while she holds her arm. Jeremy glares at Star for a moment before passing her by.

''Star Butterfly. As (Y/N)'s little brother, i would like to request you something. Please don't try to tear their relationship apart.'' She turns around to look at Jeremy.

''If you're happy just because Marco is happy then i am satisfied and happy if (Y/N) is happy. I care for my sister too much to let something like love tear her feelings apart.'' Jeremy turns around and smiles.

''If you truly care about your friends, especially Marco, you wouldn't try to ruin their relationship. As you can tell, Marco is happy simply because (Y/N) is with her. If you really care about Marco's happiness, then you wouldn't dare to tear their relationship apart because Marco's happiness now lies on (Y/N).'' After that, Jeremy walks away.

''See ya.'' And with that Jeremy is out of sight. Star turned back to (Y/N) and Marco who are starting to walk back home once more.

''Marco's happiness, huh?''
