"What a day!" Star sighed and leaned over to rest her head on newly discovered lover's shoulder. She gazed up into his eyes as he beamed down at her.

"Best day ever..." he trailed off as Star wrapped her arms around him and squeezed her body against his.

"I love you so much, Marco"

Her eyes glistened as she told him those special words again.

"I love you too star"

Marco leaned back to rest his head on the arm of the couch and Star pulled herself onto him, her arms around his torso and head tucked snugly under his chin. She had never experienced being this close to someone before and hadn't realized how badly she was missing it. Marco placed his arms around her and gave a gentle squeeze as she nuzzled into his neck, lightly kissing it before relaxing and closing her eyes. The pair lay in silence for a moment, Marco stroked Star's shoulder as Marco's soft breathing threatened to lull her to sleep.

"I can't stop replaying it in my head" Marco giggled with a jokingly frustrated tone.

"Mm?" Star mumbled looking up.

"You know..in the pig goat pen...it was just so...perfect" he explained giving his sweetheart a gentle squeeze.

"Oh yeah...me too...the look on your face when I asked you to kiss me was priceless!"

Star readjusted herself so she was on top of him, gazing up into his eyes.

Marco brushes his hand along her cheek feeling her warmth against his fingers. "I'm such an idiot Star, we should have done this so much sooner!"

"Hey, don't beat yourself up! At least you didn't spend half a year stuck with someone you weren't even in love with! I'm an idiot too! And I had to look at this the whole time and pretend I wasn't interested" she ran a hand from Marco's neck to his lower belly to illustrate what "this" meant. Marco blushed at her gentle touch. "If anything we're both idiots! A couple of cute idiots" she smiled sweetly at him. "But the journey makes it all that much sweeter in the end right?"

Marco just grinned at how she could see the good in any situation. "I guess your right, waiting out for each other did make me realize how much I really need you"

Star lifted her head and gently pressed her lips to his. She could barely stop smiling long enough to kiss him. Star Butterfly was positively in love with her best friend.
