You trudged through the snow, a cloak covering your body as you made your way to a small village close by a destroyed cake tower.
The villagers were minding their own business when they spotted you, not reacting until they see that within your hood was that horned crown. They reacted in shock as you stopped before them, removing your hood to show yourself.
“Don’t worry, Cookies. I’m not here to take over your village. Instead, I am here for one Cookie, and one Cookie only. Said to have the beauty and grace that of a princess! I ‘ve come for her.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, please show us mercy, your majesty. We’re only trying to survive through the harsh winters. We will bring you the Cookie you are seeking.”
“You won’t have to look far!”
You turn your head to see Wind Deity Cookie.
Tumblr media
“It’s one of the Deities! Our prayers have been answered!”
“I sensed your evil presence approaching the village, the sky god doesn’t think your arrival is worth her time.”
“Ah, there you are! I’ve been looking for you!”
You approached her as Wind Deity stances herself, ready for what you’ll throw at her…
“Wind Deity Cookie…”
You reach into your cloak and spring right for her as Wind Deity braced herself!
Just for you to stop before her and present her with an array of snowy flowers?!
Tumblr media
“What?”
“Will you come to my castle for a wonderful, romantic dinner!?”
“Don’t get your hopes up, you’re still here to cause trouble.”
“Hm? I said I was only here for you, did I not?”
“And why would I said yes to you?”
“Are you busy?”
“I…well, no. Not right now, but…”
“Great! We can head back right now, I’ve got so much prepared!”
“Are you even listening?!”
“Oh, your majesty! If you’ll accept any substitution, I’d be honored to go in the Deity’s stead-“
“HEY! They were asking me, land dweller!”
“Forgive me!”
“So…is that a yes? Hmm~?”
“No. YES! Wait! I mean…! UGH, let me talk with the sky god first! Don’t go anywhere!”
“Take your time~!”

MORE STANLEY URIS OR I WILL EXPLODE 🙏🙏
seduction and stutters
Tumblr media
sum: "One of your characters is very flirty and overtly sexual and the other is shy and bumbling and awkward."
very very suggestive guys. also reader is female.
tw: heheh sex jokes lolz (this was a richie impression pls laugh), also i mention abuse AS A JOKE but just a lil tw (no but srsly guys #savestanleyhedoesntdeservethis)
Tumblr media
best. couple. ever.
im so serious. hottest couple in town. bowser was also rejected by you, the hottest girl in town.
you guys are so couple goals. someone has come up to you two at least once and said "you guys are my favorite couple by the wayyy"
no no if your very flirty and overtly sexual you're childhood friends with none other than than richie 'trashmouth' tozier.
oooh and stanley does not love that you guys are best friends.
cos when you and rich are together you tease stan, then he hugs you to hide away, then he gets teased more. its a horrible cycle of abuse.
#savestanleyhedoesntdeservethis
but when you guys are alone he's so sweet and quiet, you guys just cuddle mostly.
he layed like on top of your boobs once and like he wasn't even doing it for perverted reasons, solely to be closer to you and your face
he moved to lay his head on the tops of your boobs, though they were completely covered with a shirt you couldn't but snicker.
"if you wanna touch 'em all you have to do is ask baby?" you say with a smug smirk
he turns red. red i tell ya. he is redder than a stop sign. he moves his head back to your arm and you burst out laughing.
poor boy just wanted to kiss you, stop playing with his emotions like this you cruel cruel woman.
you're mostly never nice to him, and he's always nice to you.
it's always one joke after another.
one time he tried to snap back... never again.
"mm since when are you such a prude?" you pout at him.
he sighs, "why are you literally richie? i didn't want to date him. i wanted to date a pretty girl that was nice to me."
you smile and your eyebrows are raised. he groaned immediately, going face first into your neck.
you laugh in response, your smile growing wider, "no no sweet boy, come out of hiding. what were you saying? you're dating richie? and you want to break up with him? does he know about this? i think i'm gonna tell him you're planning to break up with him, and trust me. it won't be a pretty sight."
he sighs and presses a peck to your neck, cheek, and lips, before going right back to your neck and shutting up.
you're usually only nice when you want something, are jealous, or sleepy.
contrary to popular belief i think he likes when you're jealous. it reminds him that you want him and as long as you don't get crazy he kinda enjoys it.
cos you get all pda and loving and say nice things to him that you normally wouldn't do.
but when that happens he has more hickeys soo.. ya win some ya lose some i guess.
yeah you had to buy him a real good concealer cos you like to leave hickeys but he doesn't like people seeing them...
so you taught him how to color correct and to use orange and then the concealer. sometimes foundation if it's real bad.
he lets you doodle on him wherever though.
someone asks him about the doodle?
"hey i like the drawings on your arm and hand. that flower is really pretty!" the girl in front of him said as she turned around in her desk. she was whispering so the teacher wouldn't hear but she had a big flirty smile on her face.
he smiled real smug and scoffed, "thanks yeah, my girlfriend drew it. uh, you might know her, it's [insert readers name]" and then he flipped her off.
no, no. your sweet boy wouldn't do that. that's just what you wanted him to do and what he thought to do in his mind. here's how it actually happened.
he did the weird awkward smile but its really line with your lips and said, "thanks."
sigh.
he's usually oblivious to flirting but sometimes people make it real obvi. when he knows he's just giving out one word responses. when he doesn't know he's just giving out one word responses.
babe he's real awkward what do you expect?
you're the only girl he's been able to have a good conversation with besides his mother.
no but don't let him being awkward and shy fool you. he is SO sassy.
if you make fun of him he eye rolls you. let's not forget canonly he unironically puts his hands on his hips.
this boy is so sassy. but also very very sweet.
even when you mess with you're still sweet to him every day when you guys get tired.
you both usually take naps together when you hang out. he wraps his arms around your hips and you bury your face in the crook of his neck.
anyways 9/10 boyfriend. -1 point because he's so sassy.

ok. can we talk about going with ellie to the mall because i think it would be… interesting.
(fluff ‘n a little bit of smut so mdni! 🎀 also wrote this ages ago and it’s so bad so excuse me!!! and reader is v fem)
Tumblr media
౨ৎ when it comes to ellie williams— i believe she will throughly let you walk her like a dog. quite literally following you around the shops hand in hand— to the point where you’re merely dragging her around. at first, she’d be super chill and relaxed, but one hour later after seeing you try on the same dress three times already— she’d start groaning on and on. “babe… do we really have to go fucking zara again?”, when you tell her that you just regret not buying a certain top, she’d be so adorably pissed off, her eyebrows all furrowed together, just thoroughly confused. she would probably want to stop and eat some food every 5 seconds. “zara… or mcdonalds” ,weighing the two options on her hands and clearly placing the mcdonalds option way higher.
౨ৎ if there’s an arcade— you know her ass is fully stopping in her tracks, begging you to come and play some games with her. obviously, you oblige, because she’s giving you the biggest and cutest puppy eyes you’ve ever seen, and maybe she’d stupidly jump up when you say yes. she ends up beating you in every single game— and it's so painfully obvious that she’s been there about 17 times already.
“ellie, you’re only winning because you’re here every single day. you’re like a totallll loser” you defend, after she’d been gloating about her winning streak for 5 minutes straight. unsurprisingly, she just denies it. 
“i swear— ive never been here before, babe”
“els, be honest” you warn.
“okay— been here like once with jesse”
“once?”
“once… plus like five” and at that— she turns around, and places her hand behind her back, so you can intertwine it with yours. she’s sooo beating you in bowling.
౨ৎ while you’re browsing through clothes — shed be hugging you from behind tightly, as she kisses on your neck and silently begs for your attention.
“this skirts super cute, right?” you chirp, pointing at the plaid mini skirt and slowly tracing the soft fabric with the pads of your fingers.
ellie has her chaste lips right on your pulse point, and she’s barely even looking.
you pick it up, and she moves closer behind you with her hands still clinging on to your waist. “cute, right?” — you can feel ellie’s smile slowly form on your neck.
“yeah, babe… you’re very cute. thought you knew that already, though”
౨ৎ when you pull out two pieces from the rack (amethyst purple & floral purple) and ask her which color will fit you better, she just rolls her eyes and huffs. “babe… you cannot be serious they're the exact same”, to you, they are NOT. but ellie fully doesn’t get it at all.
౨ৎ put her in a gamestop— and it’s like she won the lottery. browsing through the different controllers, now its your turn to tease and tell her they’re all the exact same. put her in a NINTENDO shop and its literally over. her eyes are twinkling and sparkling, and shes borderline skipping through the store trying to find cool figurines. when she sees a bowser plushie (her mariokart main, duh) she picks it out so fast, and then tries to find you a plushie too— a princess peach or a kirby or whatever you want. she goes to pay, and when you leave the store with your two adorable new plushies inside the bag— ellie fully side eyes you. she has something to say, and you know it. she sighs deeply— “think theyre fucking in there?”
“if they’re anything like us… theyre fucking in there— oh my god, babe… bowsers humping her ass, look” —
she’s literally moving them inside the bag.
౨ৎ okay, so you’re done paying at zara (with her credit card but let’s not… talk about it), ellie left about 15 minutes ago because she was tired of looking at the clothes and she said that place looks like a mental asylum. you’re walking out of the shop with the bags in your hands, and you see her sitting on one of the random mall couches with a random grey haired middle aged man. weirdly, they seem to be in the midst of an incredibly intense conversation. you twist your face because what the fuck and;
“waiting for the wife, huh?” she asks him, manspreading on the chair with her hands resting on her thighs. they’re both staring at the store’s entrance, both sighing heavily. “that i am…” the old man huffs, and ellie chuckles to herself. “me too man… me too”
౨ৎ five minutes later — you find them talking about fucking bathroom tiles.
“i told her i wasn’t going to do marble— but she fucking insisted on it”
you walk a little closer, and ellie is still heavily rambling about floor stuff (?) you have absolutely no clue about.
“els…? ready to go?” you chirp, smiling warmly at the stranger. “gimme a sec” ellie looks at you from the corner of her eye, and keeps going. they’re exchanging numbers because they need to start thinking about how to build a new patio, and he has some “awesome fucking tips, man”
౨ৎ ellie places her hand on your shoulder as you’re walking away, and squeezes. “he was such a cool dude” she remarks, with a stupidly dumb, satisfied smile.
“ellie… he was like, sixty five”
“so? we bonded, babe” she shrugs.
“about floor tiles?” you ask her, and she begins rubbing little circles on your shoulder as you both stray further away from the shop.
“amongst other things” ellie chews on the inside of her cheek. should she say it?
“what things?” you smile sheepishly at your girlfriend, who’s seemingly nervous for some reason.
“you know… his wife…” she bites her cheek even harder now. she should definitely not say it. “my wife” okay— there it is.
her wife.
ten whole seconds of absolute radio silence pass. ellie thinks she might have said too much, but ellie doesn’t know you’re fighting for your life trying to hold on to your tears that are threatening to erupt.
her wife.
“you’re proposing here then, i assume?” you’re trying not to sound emotional, trying not to sound like your hearts about to burst out of your chest and start doing cartwheels on the malls pavement.
“nah… definitely somewhere way classier. like… bora bora, or the food court”
“food court?”
ellie has to stop. ellie has to stop and hold your hand.
“yeah… so i can hide the ring inside your burger n’shit. then you like… choke on it, then i save you… then not only am i a fuckin’ hero, i also get to like… marry the most beautiful girl i’ve ever seen. and she has to say yes—” there’s no point in swallowing down your toothy smile now. “cause like… i saved her life, y’know?” as much as ellie’s joking, ellie’s cheeks are burning up.
“will you… say yes, though?” she balances her weight from leg to leg, and averts her gaze. mmhm— what an interesting sign!
the way you place your hand on the back of her neck and kiss her hard— that’s definitely a yes.
ellie won’t propose to you in the food court, though. in fact, she has this elaborate plan she has been thinking since about a month into your relationship. that, you’ll never guess.
౨ৎ mall ellie is ALL pda. she doesn’t let go of your hand like ever and constantly needs little kisses on the cheek. she bought you a cute new top? kiss on the cheek. cute dress? kiss on the cheek and on the nose. she doesn’t want you to say your thank you’s, she’d much rather you show them.
౨ৎ when you’re at a lingerie shop… suddenly she comes fully alive. its literally as if someone infused her with seven shots of caffeine and she can’t seem to be able to stop handing you different bra’s, panties, and sexy little nightgowns.
“that’ll look so fucking hot on you” & hands you the sluttiest thong youve ever seen. “that— will drive me fucking crazy” & hands you a sheer bra she can imagine your nipples poking out of.
“wanna eat you out in that” as she hands you a little nightgown and you’re like “ELLIE!” and slap her arm her because a 60 year old woman literally just heard her and looked like she was about to have an aneurysm.
“actually— wanna eat you out in that… and in that too… and in that— oh my god look baby they’re crotchless” wiggling her eyebrows and swaying the fabric in the air.
౨ৎ obviously… she wants you to model them for her. it’s funny, how she didn’t give a fuck when you tried a cardigan on or a hat or saw a cute purse, but now she’s demanding to go inside the dressing room with you and stare you down in the mirror like a perv. she watches you strip out of your clothes and you purposely do it extra slowly, taking your time removing the bra… and now, she’s just leaping out of her sit.
“nope— doing that for you…” she unclasps it, stands behind you and immediately gropes your tits. she gives you sweet little kitten licks and kisses on the neck, whilst maintaining full eye contact with her hands on your boobs from the mirror, and you can’t help but whimper when she takes your hardening nipples between her fingers and rolls them in her thumb. “ellie… were in public” you hiss, bucking your ass onto her crotch.
“we’re not in public, were in a dressing room…” she whispers, like she knows best.
“plus, i gotta test these little panties out… s’for you, y’know?”
ellie makes you sit on her lap to watch it up close, until she’s fully satisfied and is sure that they fit just right, and that she can see herself peeling them off of you. “give me a little wiggle, babe”, she rasps, as her hands roam over your naked waist.
“a wiggle?” you giggle, and burry your face in the crook of her neck.
“like… grind yourself up against me. gotta test the fabric, make sure you’re… comfortable” and— of course you do. you grind yourself up against her thigh until you forget what you even came to the mall for.
ellie’s eyes are fixated on you, taking in your little silent whimpers as you “test the panties” out.
“think… fuck— think we gotta buy them now… soaked ‘em all up, huh?” ellie pants, as she helps you grind your body back and forth. when ellie looks down on her thigh, truly just to watch how your pussy lips swallow the drenched material, ellie comes to an extra conclusion as well. there’s a sticky wet patch, almost heart shaped, over her denim jeans.
“shit… babe, look at that mess…”, she holds you by the back of your neck, and guides your head down. “mhm… gotta buy me some new jeans” your breath cages inside your throat as you begin to stutter, “sorry, el… didn’t mean to”
“oh fuck no… it’s… shit— so fuckin’ hot”
anyways, mall ellie is a menace.

secret rhymes - 42. no need for allat (half-written)
a/n: my go to in mario kart is yoshi and I feel like minji would 100 percent be a yoshi main as well and dani would def be peach or toad or smth cutesy… also yeah it’s getting real Now guys.
Tumblr media
you barely have time to knock before the door swings open, revealing hyein grinning up at you.
"y/n! what are you doing here?" hyein asks, stepping aside to let you in.
"oh, hanni invited me over... you didn't know?"
"no," hyein closes the door, then shrugs. "but I don't mind, it's nice to see you during such a busy time. okay, let me bring you over to hanni."
you follow her down the hall, passing by the soft hum of a tv where haerin sits cross-legged on the floor, her phone in her hands. on the screen is the nintendo switch homescreen, but you can't really take in anything other than that before walking down the hall and meeting hyein at hanni's door.
she pushes it open and inside is hanni sitting on her bed lazily scrolling on her bed. she immediately perks up when she sees you, a small, knowing smile tugging at her lips.
"you should've texted me," she says, feigning annoyance.
you raise an eyebrow. "you invited me over. what, did you forget?"
she lets out a small laugh but doesn't deny it. for a moment, you just look at each other, smiling like idiots. neither of you says anything, but the warmth is mutual (and obvious). and then, as if deciding simultaneously, you both move forward, with hanni getting up to meet you in a tight hug.
"missed you." you murmur quietly, feeling her squeeze you just a bit tighter.
"missed you too, idiot." she says, her voice softer than before.
hyein, still standing there, groans loudly.
"okay, wow," hyein suddenly interjects, earning a reaction of you two pulling away comically fast. hyein crosses her arms with a smirk. "cute and all now break it up. y/n, come play mario kart with haerin and I. hanni promised she'd play too."
hanni blinks, her expression shifting as if she just remembered. "oh, right... i did say that."
you chuckle at her sudden realization, but before hyein can drag you both away, hanni stops her. "wait, wait—give us a second. we need to eat first."
hyein sighs dramatically. "fine, but hurry up!" she trudges away, leaving you alone with hanni again.
hanni turns to you, nodding toward the bags of thai food she ordered. "come on, let's eat a little before they start complaining."
"you're so lucky i haven't had dinner yet." you joke.
you follow her to sit at the kitchen peninsula, the smell of the food already making your mouth water. you glance at her as she opens one of the containers, her face relaxed, content. it's familiar. it's comfortable.
when the two of you finish eating, you both meet hyein and haerin on the couch. hyein says something snarky about you two taking forever, to which hanni responds with an eyeroll. haerin greets you with a small smile, to which you respond with a toothy grin.
"okay, okay." hanni starts, giving everyone a controller. "don't cry when I beat you all."
haerin scoffs. "right..."
the four of you are now squished together on the couch, controllers still in hand as the mario kart lobby loads up. hanni sits beside you, her knee brushing against yours, while haerin and hyein occupy the other side. you scoot closer when you feel her knee brush yours again.
"mind you, we've never played together." you remind her.
"we'll see then." hanni says with a slight cockiness, making everyone laugh.
everyone chooses their character: hyein chooses dry bones and haerin chooses bowser. without thinking much, you pick luigi, but right at that moment hanni clicks on daisy. the two of you glance at each other, blinking in surprise.
haerin and hyein exchange a glance of their own before subtly eyeing both of you.
"interesting." hyein hums.
haerin just raises an eyebrow, smirking.
"what?" you ask, looking past hanni and between the two.
"nothing," they say in unison, far too innocent to be believable.
shrugging it off, the game starts. the first round is fairly normal—chaotic but nothing too different from the rounds you've played with your university friends at the student lounge. hanni dominates the race, breezing past like she was born for this (or has played too much mario kart to the point that she has most maps memorized). you manage to secure second place, while haerin and hyein trail somewhere between seventh and fifth place.
"wow, you guys are terrible." hanni teases leaning back smugly.
"i literally came in second." you point out.
"exactly. you still lost to me, what did I say?" she grins, nudging your shoulder with hers.
you huff, but there's a smile on your face as you nudge her back, a little harder this time. she giggles, the sound light and easy.
then the next round begins. this time, you manage to get ahead, gripping the controller tightly as you take the lead. the finish line is just within reach—
"what the fuck?" you exclaim after hanni throws a turtle shell at you, your screen flashing red as you spin out. luigi drops from first to third in an instant. "are you serious?" you groan, turning to glare at her.
she just laughs, eyes crinkling in amusement. "oops." she giggles.
you don't think. you act.
in one quick motion, you throw an arm around her, pulling her close as you use that same hand to cover her eyes.
"hey!" she yelps, squirming in your hold. "that's cheating!"
"should've thought about that before throwing a shell at me," you grin, keeping your grip firm while still managing to steer your character with your other hand.
hanni is determined to win. she smacks your hand away and leans over you, practically draping herself over your upper body as she tries to shake you off fully. the two of you struggle—her pushing against your side, you keeping your grip on her while barely paying attention to the game anymore.
neither of you notices how close you are through the shared giggles, too wrapped up in the playful competition to care.
haerin and hyein do notice. they share a long, knowing look, silently communicating through raised eyebrows and smirks. they look over now, barely caring about the game while hanni barely fights out of your arm around her, pushing her down against you in a position that looks more comfy than annoying.
"i'm telling danielle and minji later," hyein mutters under her breath.
haerin nods. "please do."

blue lock boys playing mario kart
Tumblr media
summary: hc’s of bluelock boys n’ how they play mario kart!
warnings: none
includes: rin, sae, nagi, bachira, chigiri, reo, isagi, shindou, kaiser
Rin:
He plays as blue shy guy! He doesn’t play often, only when you force him to, and yet he wins every single race. At first, he wasn’t competitive while playing at all, acts all chill and claims he “doesn’t care” if he wins the game or not. Although the more you guys play the more heated he begins to get when objects are thrown at him….he hates those damn bananas.
Sae:
He’s so lame and plays as Mario. He literally does not care to play. Does he win at all? Absolutely not. He best stick to soccer. The poor guy absolutely sucks at mario kart. He’s lucky to get in even 5th place. When you first asked to play, he was very “how hard can it be?”. He would never admit that the game is growing on him and the more he plays the more he wants to win. Just like his brother, he can’t stand those damn bananas.
Nagi:
He plays as dry bones! Mr. gamer is so not competitive yet wins every single game. He’s like rin, except he is actually chill and doesn’t care if he wins. The game is “too easy” for him and he gets board after 2-3 races. He’d buy you the expansion packs if you’d ask! It pisses u off how good he is, you can’t seem to win a single game. :(
Bachira:
He plays as toadette! He’s so competitive it’s not even funny. He always tries to mess up your race and things it’s hilarious to whip you out on shells. He 100% sticks his tongue out while playing. His concentration is crazy and no amount of distraction will get to him. Does he ever win? Absolutely not.
Chigiri:
He plays as princess peach! (obvi). His favorite map is rainbow road and he insists you play it every time. He’s not the best player, he never switches his kart and never cares to switch the stats on it, then gets upset when he loses yet again. He whines and makes a scene when he’s knocked down a few places by other players. How often does he win? 50% !
Reo:
He plays as Waluigi! He has a whole set up and is lowkey a crazy mario kart player. He buys controllers specifically for the game and buys all the expansion packs and new tracks. He’s not all the good but will spend hours playing and “practicing” during his free time. He loves when you will go over n’ sit on his bed and play with him for hours. He calls it “bonding time”. (I hc him as a very shy lover and is afraid to let things get awkward so it’s a good way to break silence and keep eachother distracted!)
Isagi:
He plays as toad. He is SO competitive. Also sticks his tongue out while playing. He takes a long time to choose a cart and customize it to each track he plays. He truly thinks it makes a difference for every track. When he falls behind or looses he will always blame it on the kart and not his actual skill. How often does he win? 50/50.
Shido:
He plays as bowser. He claims he isn’t competitive but you can see it in his focus on the game. Yells at the screen when players pass him. He’s broke too many controllers to count. You’ve had him start to bring his own controllers so he doesn’t break yours :( He’s honestly not good at all but likes to think he is! He’ll blame his loss on something stupid then say “one more game”, for the twelfth time.
Kaiser:
He plays as king boo. Honestly could care less about the game but plays it to make you happy. It’s infuriating how good he is at the game, how did he get so far ahead? He plays in complete silence, doesn’t say a word while maintaining the most straight face the entire time. After he wins, he’ll make some snarky comment and ask if you’re ready to give up. Twenty races later, you finally win. He didn’t let you win did he?

Crowning Desire — Bowser x Reader
f!reader, spicy tension, emotional intimacy, fiery romance, playful banter, humor, Mario Universe, unexpected moments, nonchalant Mario
The fiery glow of Bowser’s castle was a mix of overwhelming heat and eerie stillness. You weren’t sure how you ended up here—one moment you were going about your day in the Mushroom Kingdom, the next you were swept away by his minions, carried into this molten fortress.
What you hadn’t expected was… him.
When you were first brought to the throne room, your heart pounded in your chest as you took in the towering figure of King Bowser himself. His presence filled the space, his horns casting long shadows on the walls, his sharp teeth glinting in the dim light. But there was something about the way he carried himself—his shoulders slightly hunched, his tail swishing in what looked like nervous energy—that made you pause. “You’re smaller than I imagined,” you blurted out before your brain caught up to your mouth. Bowser’s jaw actually dropped slightly before he let out a booming laugh, his eyes narrowing in amusement. “Small? That’s what you notice about me?” “Well, yeah,” you said, standing your ground despite the way his voice rumbled like an earthquake. “Everyone talks about how terrifying you are, but you’re… different up close.” His laugh faded, replaced by a curious tilt of his head. “You’ve got a mouth on you,” he rumbled, stepping closer. “Most people are too busy screaming to notice anything about me.”
“I figured screaming wouldn’t get me anywhere,” you replied, crossing your arms even as your heart raced. His eyes softened, the fiery glow dimming slightly. “Huh. Interesting.” That was how it started—an odd sort of dance between the two of you. Bowser wasn’t as terrifying as the stories made him out to be, and you quickly realized that behind the gruff exterior was someone… complicated. The days passed in a strange routine. He didn’t lock you up or chain you to the wall as you’d half-expected. Instead, he gave you a room—an actual room with a bed and a view of the lava pits below. He let you wander the castle, though there were always a few of his minions lurking nearby, keeping a watchful eye on you.
And Bowser? He was always watching, too.
It was subtle at first—a glance here, a lingering gaze there. But then it became more obvious. He’d find excuses to talk to you, to sit near you in the grand dining hall, to ask you questions about your life in the Mushroom Kingdom. One evening, as you stood on the balcony of your room, staring out at the molten horizon, you felt his presence before you saw him. “Do you miss it?” he asked, his voice low and gravelly. “Miss what?” you replied, glancing over your shoulder to find him leaning against the doorway, his massive arms crossed. “Your kingdom,” he said, his gaze flicking to the horizon. You turned back to the view, the glow of the lava casting a golden light over the castle. “Sometimes,” you admitted. “But… it’s quieter here. In a way.” He stepped closer, his heavy footsteps reverberating through the stone. “You’re not scared of me,” he said, almost accusingly. “Should I be?” you asked, your heart racing as he stopped beside you. His gaze bore into you, his eyes glowing like embers. “Most people are.”
You tilted your head, meeting his gaze head-on. “I think there’s more to you than what most people see.” For a moment, he didn’t say anything. Then, his lips curled into a grin, sharp teeth glinting in the dim light. “You’re bold,” he said, his voice low and filled with something that made your stomach flip. “Maybe,” you replied, your voice steady despite the way your pulse quickened. “Or maybe I just see the real you.” The weight of Bowser’s gaze lingered long after he left your room that night. There was something in his eyes—a mix of curiosity and uncertainty, like he was trying to figure out what you saw in him. You found yourself wondering the same thing. He wasn’t what you expected. Fierce, yes. Intimidating, of course. But he was also attentive in a way that caught you off guard. He listened when you spoke, remembered the little things you said, like your favorite foods or how sunsets in the Mushroom Kingdom looked different depending on the season. Over the next few days, your conversations grew longer, his walls lowering little by little.
You discovered that he had a wicked sense of humor, dry and sharp, and you couldn’t help but laugh when he teased his own minions or made sarcastic remarks about Mario. “You’re surprisingly funny for a ‘terrifying villain,’” you quipped one evening, sitting across from him at the massive dining table. “And you’re surprisingly sassy for someone who’s technically my prisoner,” he shot back, a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Technically?” He shrugged, leaning back in his chair. “Let’s be real. If you wanted to leave, you’d probably just walk out. Not like I’ve locked you up.” You smiled softly, playing with the edge of your napkin. “Maybe I don’t want to leave.” Bowser stilled, his amber eyes flicking to yours. The air between you shifted, the playful banter giving way to something deeper. “Why not?” he asked, his voice quieter than usual. “Because it’s… different here,” you admitted, your cheeks flushing. “And I guess I don’t mind the company.” For the first time, you saw a crack in his usual bravado.
His grin softened, replaced by something more vulnerable, almost unsure. “You’re full of surprises,” he murmured, his gaze lingering on you a moment longer before he looked away, a faint redness creeping up his cheeks. The turning point came one evening as you wandered the castle’s halls, unable to sleep. You found yourself in the throne room, the massive space bathed in the warm glow of lava. Bowser was there, sitting on the steps leading to his throne, his head bowed as if deep in thought. “You look like you’ve got the weight of the world on your shoulders,” you said softly, stepping into the room. He looked up, startled, before letting out a soft chuckle. “Something like that.” You hesitated, then crossed the room to sit beside him, the heat of the lava warming your skin. “Want to talk about it?” He sighed, his claws resting on his knees. “Do you ever feel like… no matter what you do, people only see one version of you? Like you’re stuck being the person they think you are?” His words hit closer to home than you expected. “Yeah,” you said quietly.
“All the time.” Bowser glanced at you, his expression softening. “Guess we’re not so different after all.” You smiled, leaning your head against his massive arm. “Guess not.” The silence that followed wasn’t uncomfortable. It was the kind of silence that felt safe, like you didn’t need to fill it with words to understand each other. “Thank you,” he said suddenly, his voice low. “For what?” “For… seeing me,” he said, his gaze fixed on the glowing lava. “For not running away.” You reached out, your fingers brushing against his arm. “You’re not as scary as you think, Bowser.” He let out a soft laugh, shaking his head. “Don’t let the others hear you say that. I’ve got a reputation to uphold.” You smiled, the warmth in his voice wrapping around you like a blanket. “Your secret’s safe with me.” The emotional tension simmered between you, each shared moment deepening the connection that neither of you dared to fully acknowledge. Yet. But the way Bowser looked at you—like you were the first person to truly see him—it made your heart race.
And you couldn’t ignore the way your hand lingered on his arm, or the way his eyes softened when you said his name. It wasn’t a question of if the tension would break. It was a question of when. The castle was quieter than usual, the sounds of Bowser’s minions fading into the background as you wandered the halls. The throne room, warm and glowing as ever, called to you. It had become a space where you and Bowser shared quiet moments, a place where the lines between “villain” and “visitor” blurred. You found him standing near the balcony, his massive frame outlined by the fiery glow of the lava below. He seemed lost in thought, his usual confident demeanor replaced by something softer, more contemplative. “Couldn’t sleep?” you asked, your voice cutting through the stillness. Bowser turned, his eyes meeting yours. “Neither could you, huh?” You shook your head, stepping closer. The air felt heavier tonight, charged with something you couldn’t quite place. “Something on your mind?” you asked, stopping a few feet from him.
He let out a low chuckle, running a clawed hand over his spiked shell. “You.” Your heart skipped a beat. “Me?” “You’ve been in my head since the moment you got here,” he admitted, his voice low and rough. “I’ve been trying to figure out why you stayed. Why you don’t look at me like everyone else does.” “Maybe because I don’t see a monster,” you said softly, taking another step forward. “I see someone who’s been misunderstood. Someone who’s more than the stories.” Bowser’s gaze darkened, his chest rising and falling as he stared at you. “You really mean that?” You nodded, your voice steady despite the way your heart raced. “I do.” He closed the distance between you in two long strides, his massive hand cupping your face with a tenderness that took your breath away. “You’re dangerous, you know that?” he murmured, his thumb brushing against your cheek. “Why?” you asked, your voice barely a whisper. “Because you make me want things I shouldn’t,” he growled, his fiery eyes locked on yours.
“Then take them,” you said, your breath hitching as his gaze flicked to your lips. Bowser didn’t hesitate. His mouth crashed against yours, fierce and demanding, his sharp teeth grazing your lips as he pulled you closer. His massive hands spanned your waist, lifting you effortlessly as he carried you to the throne, his movements both commanding and careful. He sat down, settling you in his lap as his hands roamed your body, tracing the curves he’d only dared to admire from afar. “You’re so small,” he muttered, his voice filled with awe as he looked at you. “So perfect.” Your fingers tangled in his fiery mane, pulling him back to you. “And you’re not as scary as you think,” you teased, your lips brushing against his. He growled low in his throat, his claws digging gently into your hips as he guided you closer. “Careful, little one. You’re playing with fire.” “Good thing I like the heat,” you shot back, a grin tugging at your lips. Bowser’s laughter rumbled through his chest, the sound vibrating against you.
But his amusement didn’t last long—his hands tightened on your hips, his lips finding yours again as the tension between you finally snapped.
His kisses were fierce, almost desperate, but there was a surprising gentleness in the way he held you, like he was afraid you might disappear. He moved with a deliberateness that made your heart race, his fiery eyes watching your every reaction. “Tell me you’re mine,” he growled, his voice rough and commanding. “I’m yours,” you whispered, your nails digging into his shoulders as he pulled you impossibly closer. “Say it again,” he demanded, his lips trailing down your neck, sharp teeth grazing your skin. “I’m yours,” you gasped, your voice trembling as he marked you, his touch igniting a fire that burned hotter than the lava below. The tension between you reached a fever pitch, Bowser’s growl reverberating through the throne room as his hands roamed your body. The throne’s cold stone contrasted with the blazing heat of his touch, sending shivers up your spine as he claimed you with a fervor that left no doubt of his intentions. “You’re mine,” he growled again, his lips brushing against your ear as his claws pressed into your hips.
The pressure was firm but careful, a reminder of his immense strength and his restraint. “I’m yours,” you whispered, threading your fingers through his mane and tugging gently. The action earned a rumbling groan from him, his fiery eyes snapping back to yours. Bowser shifted, lifting you effortlessly as if you weighed nothing, laying you across his throne with a commanding ease. The throne’s hard edges pressed against your back, but you hardly noticed, too lost in the intensity of his gaze as he loomed over you. “You have no idea what you do to me,” he muttered, his voice rough as his hands slid down your sides, his claws leaving a trail of heat in their wake. “Then show me,” you challenged, your breath catching as his lips curled into a sharp, predatory grin. “Oh, I plan to,” he growled, his hands gripping your thighs and spreading them with a possessive urgency that sent a thrill coursing through you. His mouth found your neck, his teeth grazing your skin as his kisses grew rougher, more demanding. You arched into him, your nails scraping against his arms as the fire between you built into an inferno.
“Bowser,” you gasped, your voice trembling as his lips trailed down your collarbone, his claws digging into your thighs just enough to leave a faint sting. He paused, lifting his head to meet your gaze. His eyes burned with an intensity that left you breathless, but there was something else there, too—a flicker of vulnerability, as if he was waiting for you to pull away. But you didn’t. Instead, you reached up, your fingers brushing against his cheek. “I’m not going anywhere,” you whispered, your voice steady despite the heat coursing through your veins. That was all he needed. Bowser’s restraint snapped, and he claimed you with a passion that left you dizzy. His movements were rough yet deliberate, every touch and kiss sending you hurtling closer to the edge. “You’re perfect,” he muttered against your skin, his voice rough and low. “Every inch of you.” His claws traced patterns across your thighs, the heat of his touch leaving you trembling as he explored your body with a reverence that belied his rough exterior.
His strength was overwhelming, his hands gripping your waist as if to anchor you to him, but his touch was never cruel. “Tell me what you need,” he demanded, his lips hovering just above yours. “You,” you gasped, your hands fisting in his mane as you pulled him down for a kiss that was all teeth and fire. “I need you.” Bowser growled low in his throat, his hands gripping your hips as he pressed against you, his size and strength an intoxicating reminder of who he was. “Say it again,” he demanded, his voice rough as his teeth grazed your jaw. “I need you,” you repeated, your voice breaking as he claimed you with a possessive intensity that left you breathless. Every touch, every kiss, every growl sent you spiraling deeper into the fire that burned between you. Bowser moved with a confidence that left no room for doubt, his hands and mouth exploring every inch of you as if committing you to memory. “You’re mine,” he growled again, his voice filled with a raw, unfiltered need that left you trembling.
“Always,” you whispered, your nails digging into his shoulders as he pushed you over the edge, his name falling from your lips in a broken cry. The throne room blurred around you, nothing but fire and shadow, heat and Bowser. His name fell from your lips like a prayer, each syllable cracked with the force of your gasps. His strength surrounded you, his hands gripping your thighs, his claws pressing just hard enough to leave a sting you welcomed. “You take everything I give you,” Bowser growled, his teeth grazing your ear, his hot breath a contrast to the cool air of the room. “You’re perfect.” His praise sent shivers down your spine, a mix of heat and something deeper pooling in your chest. Your nails raked over the hard muscles of his arms as your body arched into his, his every move calculated to drive you higher. “I need more,” you gasped, your voice breaking as he smirked against your neck. “Greedy little thing,” he teased, though the roughness of his voice betrayed how much he loved it. He adjusted his angle, pressing even closer, drawing a broken cry from your throat.
“You want more? Take it.” The world narrowed to the two of you—the heat of his touch, the weight of his body, the possessive growl in his voice as he drove you both to the brink. His amber eyes locked onto yours, glowing with a fire that mirrored the one burning in your chest. “I’m yours,” you whispered, your voice trembling with the force of your confession. Bowser stilled for a moment, his expression flickering with something softer, almost reverent. “Damn right you are,” he murmured, his voice rough with emotion as he pressed his forehead to yours. When you finally fell apart beneath him, your cries echoing off the stone walls, Bowser followed, his growl deep and guttural as he buried himself in you one last time. His body shuddered, his strength momentarily faltering as the fire between you reached its peak and exploded into a blinding light. The aftermath was a blur of warmth and breathlessness, your bodies tangled together on the throne as you both came down from the high. Bowser’s massive frame surrounded you, his touch softer now as his claws traced lazy patterns along your back.
“You’re incredible,” he murmured, his voice still rough but filled with a tenderness that made your chest ache. “You’re not too bad yourself,” you teased, though your voice lacked the strength to carry the usual sass. Bowser chuckled, the sound rumbling through your body as he held you closer. “Not too bad, huh? I think I deserve more than that after… all that.” “Okay, fine,” you said, smiling against his chest. “You’re amazing. The best. Happy?” “Very,” he said, his grin softening as he kissed the top of your head. The room grew quiet, the fiery glow casting long shadows across the stone as you rested against him. Bowser’s hands never stopped moving, his touch a grounding force that kept you tethered to him even as exhaustion pulled at your eyelids. “Hey,” he said softly, tilting your chin up so you could meet his gaze. “You good?” You nodded, your lips curving into a small smile. “Better than good.” His grin widened, his sharp teeth glinting in the dim light. “You sure know how to keep me on my toes, little one.”
“You love it,” you replied, your voice barely above a whisper. “Yeah,” he admitted, his tone softer now. “I do.” Bowser shifted, standing with you still cradled in his arms. He carried you to the balcony, the cool air a stark contrast to the warmth of his body. The view of the molten horizon stretched out before you, and for the first time, it didn’t feel intimidating. “It’s beautiful,” you said, leaning into him as he held you close. “It’s better with you here,” he replied, his voice low and filled with sincerity. You tilted your head to look up at him, your heart swelling at the way his gaze softened as it met yours. “I’m not going anywhere, Bowser,” you said, your voice steady despite the emotions swirling inside you. His arms tightened around you, his lips brushing against your forehead. “Good. Because I don’t think I could let you go, even if I wanted to.” The two of you stood there in comfortable silence, the fiery glow of the castle surrounding you like a cocoon. For all the chaos and heat, there was a surprising sense of peace in his arms—a quiet rhythm that felt like home.
The fiery glow of Bowser’s castle began to fade into the quiet hum of contentment as you rested against him, the both of you standing on the balcony overlooking the molten horizon. His claws traced gentle circles along your back, his strength now a source of comfort rather than intimidation. “You’re trouble, you know that?” he muttered, though his tone carried a warmth that sent a pleasant shiver down your spine. “You started it,” you replied, tilting your head up to meet his gaze. “I just… finished it.” Bowser’s deep laugh rumbled through his chest, his sharp teeth glinting in the dim light. “You’re lucky I like trouble.” You smiled, leaning into his warmth. For all the chaos that brought you here, this moment felt right—like it was always meant to happen.
Elsewhere…
The Mushroom Kingdom’s castle bustled with tension as Peach paced back and forth, her hands clasped nervously. Luigi sat nearby, fidgeting with his cap, glancing between her and Mario, who lounged in his chair with an unusual calmness. “We have to do something!” Peach insisted, her voice frantic. “She’s been taken! You have to save her, Mario!” Luigi nodded vigorously. “Yeah, bro! Bowser’s probably got her locked up in some crazy dungeon! You need to go now!” Mario glanced up from his snack, raising an eyebrow. “Eh,” he said casually, shrugging. Peach froze mid-pace, her mouth dropping open. “Eh?!” “Eh,” Mario repeated, taking another bite of his sandwich. “She’s not like you, Peach. She’s got… how you say… a temper. I say we wait a day or two. See what happens.” Peach gasped. “Mario! You can’t just—” “Listen, listen,” Mario interrupted, waving a hand lazily. “If she’s mad, Bowser’s the one who’s gonna regret it. You’ve seen her get fired up. She’s probably yelling at him already, and honestly? Kinda curious how this plays out.”
Luigi frowned. “What if she’s in trouble?” Mario gave him a knowing look. “If Bowser’s smart, he won’t try to mess with her. If he’s stupid, well… let’s give it a day and then I’ll go get her. But trust me—she’s not like Peach. She’s got this.” Peach crossed her arms, glaring at him. “And if she doesn’t?” Mario smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Then I’ll swoop in like the hero I am. But something tells me Bowser’s gonna have his hands full.”
Back at Bowser’s castle…
Bowser watched you with a satisfied smirk, his large hand gently cradling your cheek. “What’re you smiling about now, troublemaker?” You grinned up at him, shrugging. “Just imagining Mario showing up tomorrow, ready to ‘save’ me, only to realize I don’t need saving.” Bowser chuckled, his sharp teeth glinting as he leaned in to press a kiss to your forehead. “He’d better not show up too soon. I’m not done with you yet.”

every smash bros character ranked by how good of a cook i think they’d be.
82: piranha plant
eating this dish will kill you instantly. turns out he spit some poison in there while no one was looking. and yeah, that sucks, but if you even accepted a meal from this guy i think you have bigger problems
81: ridley.
let’s be real, if you let this guy into the kitchen, you made a huge mistake. it’s like john mulaney’s horse in a hospital sketch: you never know what he’s gonna do next. you’re too focused on getting him out.
80: king k rool.
king k rool is many things. a king, a pirate, a scientist. but he is not a cook. he’ll try, but he has literally no clue what he’s even doing in the kitchen.
79: yoshi
yoshi will give you a dish and you’ll be like “what the fuck is this” and he’ll talk about how it was made from the finest newborns of his home planet. i’m deciding to ignore it but it’s really nagging at me.
78: sonic
sonic shouldn’t be on this list. because he wouldn’t make you any food. he’ll go to the local sonic and get a burger in about 3 minutes. it sucks. disqualified.
77: pac man
what can i say. it tastes like literal plastic. i don’t even wanna know how he made it. i’ll give it back to him but the nice thing about pac man is he wouldn’t give a shit.
76: bowser jr.
fuck this guy. he rage quit at making a grilled cheese. now there’s a literal canonball in the stove. now no one else can use it!! this is what happens when you spoil kids.
75: pikachu/pichu
these two are in the same category since they’d make the same thing. they’d get store bought french fries and fry them with lighting outside. it’s consistent, it works, just not really filling. and they don’t know how to make anything else.
74. wario
don’t get me wrong: he knows what he’s doing. he’s the burger king of smash. he’s this low because the burger is the most unhealthy shit you’ll ever have. eating it gave you chronic diarrhea, gastrointestinal issues, and permanently damaged your taste buds. but god fucking damn was it a good burger.
73. hero
he gave you a single piece of bread with butter on it. it’s not bad but…really dude?
72: olimar
he didn’t make you a bad meal, in fact it was one of the best here. but that’s because he didn’t make you something. it was the pikmin and he’s trying to pass it off as his own and the pikmin don’t know because they don’t speak english. 0/10: not fucking cool dude.
71: kazuya
honestly? i don’t trust this guy. i was too intimidated to even ask his name. from what i can gather no one even invited him to the party he just showed up and made a mediocre meal. what’s weird: someone came into the kitchen and claimed this guy killed their whole family. we never saw that guy again. needless to say, kazuya wasn’t invited to the afterparty.
70: link (botw)
don’t get me wrong here, link is a five star chef. he’s just really unsanitary. apparently he cut the meat and vegetables with the same sword he killed calamity ganon with. i don’t wanna taste that guy!! have you seen him?? not to mention he pulled the meal out of his pants. i don’t even know how it fit in there.
69: inkling
she made a pancake and i thought it was good! but i absolutely can’t condone this. inkling left so much fucking weird slime and shit all over my house. and got really competitive when she heard i was getting meals from everyone else. i hope they’re all ok.
68: ROB
it was so processed. the most processed food i’ve ever had in my entire life. it’s not his fault, rob is a great guy. but this tasted like literally nothing.
67: ice climbers
when they told me they were making dessert, i trusted them. but i let someone else taste test first. my best friend was sent to the hospital because of tongue frostbite. didn’t even know that was a thing. i made the ice climbers pay for it (they’re fucking loaded)
66: villager
he made isabelle do it. and she made something great! but i’m not giving this cretin credit for having the money to afford a five star chef. you don’t deserve it because you sold a shit ton of tarantulas villager!!
65: lucario.
dude got really mad and destroyed my kitchen. he’s REALLY lucky he got the burger PERFECTLY cooked.
64: male byleth.
like this dude knows how to cook. he can barely make chicken nuggets. he has to eat in the school cafeteria simply because he never learned how to cook a simple meal. but he’s a really nice guy. total himbo. love him.
63: ryu
i asked this guy what he likes to eat. big mistake. he then went on to say that his training regiment doesn’t condone copious indulgence (his words) and he lives off of nothing but protein shakes. you do you i guess.
62-61: fox/falco
these two went into the kitchen and came out with weird alien food. i didn’t eat it but everyone else seemed to enjoy it
60: greninja
when he first came out i was so excited. he came out with the most finely sliced food i had ever seen in my entire life. but it was soooo watered down. everything tasted like celery. how do you make crab taste like celery?? how??!
59-58: simon/richter
these guys both made the same exact fish recipe, came out at the same time, and proceeded to fight each other. i didn’t get to try any 😭
57-49: every fire emblem character.
genuinely, i can’t tell these guys apart. or their food choices. honestly, my bad. i’m sure they’re good. but where do i even start.
48: sheik
she doesn’t know how to cook. she kidnapped someone else. normally i wouldn’t put someone like that this high but a. i have gender envy b. it’s for the greater good (or so she said)
47: cloud
dude made a great sandwich but he kept screaming random noises while he did. personally, i’m just glad he managed not to destroy the kitchen. that’s a first here.
46: captain falcon
he promised he’d pick up some pizza but got into a car crash on the way there. eventually he got there after the car crash was all sorted out, but got into ANOTHER on the way back. i’m honestly kind of impressed
45: steve
steve could cook an absolutely fucking KILLER meal. he’ll even offer to do it for free. but you shouldn’t let him under any circumstances. he took 13 hours gathering materials and while the wait was, arguably, worth it, i never want to experience it again. (side note: we asked captain falcon to get some pizza while waiting which led to the aforementioned entry)
44: sora
sora doesn’t know how to cook but he’s by far the biggest name at this party. everyone fucking loves him. he’s friends with GOOFY. this dude hangs out with GOOFY. this guys has hung out with GOOFY AND jack sparrow. bad food but i could listen to this guy talk for hours about his story. i’m sure i’ll understand it all.
43-40: pokémon trainer
this guys organization is fucking atrocious. if he can actually get his shit together he’ll cook up some nice vegetarian meals, but that’s a big if.
HONORABLE MENTION: sans mii gunner
sans undertale is a world renowned, famous chef. his recipes are simple, but cooked with such love, care, and finess it turns a simple cheeseburger into a masterpiece. sans undertale would easily top this list. sans mii gunner is not sans undertale. he bought the real sans’ cookbook and thinks he’s some kind of cooking genius. and sure he’s got the recipes but none of the skill to actually make it.
39-38: samus/zero suit samus
hooray! we’re out of bad cook options now. samus is a great cook, but she’s so used to her alien delicacies she doesn’t know how to cook on earth anymore. shame, but i trust her to produce something edible.
37: shulk
he is really good at the grill. unfortunately, he refused to put a shirt on and made everyone a little uncomfy. that being said, he showed me the beach boys and i had never listened to them before. so he gets points.
36-35: pit/dark pit
these guys don’t know how to cook but the flew into the sky and killed some mythical bird for everyone to eat. i couldn’t have any, i’m pescatarian, but everyone else loved it.
34: bayonnetta
she opened a portal to a waffle house and a bunch of demons came flying out. she didn’t make anything, but honestly, absolutely legendary experience that was.
33: duck hunt
you’d think a dog wouldn’t bring anything meaningful. this would be false. that is the freshest duck i’ve ever seen in my entire life. (didn’t eat it: pescatarian)
32: king dedede
he made his legendary homemade mashed potatoes. everyone loved them. so creamy… weirdly perfect. too bad i hate the monarchy. sorry bud.
31: meta knight
meta knight is a great cook and should be higher. but i don’t want him to be. because he’s so fucking pretentious. he sliced all the food in front of everyone and wouldn’t shut up about radiohead. hate this guy.
30-29: daisy/peach
these two put all their private chefs together to make something for everyone. great catering, great food, but they didn’t technically make it. love them.
28: mewtwo
as if mewtwo wouldn’t just read someone’s mind and cook something. but it’s not mewtwo’s food…so…. sorry dude you cheated.
27: dark samus
she really surprised me here. she cooked up the most exquisite alien delicacies i’ve ever tasted in my entire life. should be higher. but unfortunately, i had to get a space parasite removed from my system by regular samus. honestly though… it was worth it.
26: ganon
he was rude to everyone about his cooking skills and wouldn’t stop bragging. asshole am i right? but surprised everyone by grilling his god damn heart out. he’s a bad try hard but like go off i guess.
25: isabelle
she’s trying her absolute fucking best and she deserves the world here. amazing cook, we need to save her from the island.
24: little mac
dude went so hard. brought new york pizza ALL THE WAY FROM NEW YORK. ok, not literally, but he made a damn good pizza
23: snake
full disclosure: snake doesn’t know how to cook. also no one knows he’s an agent. but he has to cook to blend in so you BEST BELIEVE this man is going to COOK like his life depends on it.
22-20: young link, ness, and lucas
all these guys are incredibly mature for their age. surprised everyone at this party. i had deep and philosophical conversations with all of them about appreciating life. i fucking cried. oh and they made everyone sandwiches, and even took my pescatarianism into account.
19: rosalina
she brought weird space ice cream and i felt my mind expanding as i ate it. love her.
18: mr game and watch
he feels like everyone’s dad! and he’s one of those cooks who cooks in front of everyone. dude flung his meals onto everyone’s plates expertly. love him.
17: joker
originally much lower on this list, joker showed up at my house and attempted to make a grilled cheese and made the worst thing i’ve ever taste. then he said something about gru from despicable me and stood in the corner for an hour. originally i had him towards the bottom but then he doordashed five gigantic burgers, ate all of them in one sitting, and then made me an expensive curry that tasted fantastic. dude went hard.
it was at this point i realized i made a mistake with the numbers. like hell if i’m going to fix the whole thing.
22: zelda
she made some weird food but damn was it pretty to look at! crystals, magic power, i mean good vibes all around here.
21-20: pyra and mythra
i feel like i should put them here since they’re confirmed to be good cooks in the game. but between you and me, i didn’t invite them. i’d consider some entries before this to be better cooks but at this point i’ve been working on this list for 8 hours i do not wanna go back and fix things please i mean this whole list is a joke no one should take this seriously
19: banjo and kazooie
these guys can fucking cook. they’ve been living on their own for a while so it makes sense but it still surprises me. they made a really big stew and even brought free puzzle games.
18: wolf
GRILL MASTER. dude knows what he’s doing on that thing. i’ve never seen better spatula work. holy shit.
17: kirby
kirby came in with some weird blonde hair and made some FANTASTIC ribs (that i didn’t have bc i’m pescatarian). weirdly, gordon ramsey went missing the same day…. i’m sure it means nothing.
16: mario
dude made some absolutely spectacular spaghetti. but he kept talking about how great he is and it really off put some people. kinda weird dude.
15: dr mario. dude brought 50 apples to the potluck. guess he doesn’t wanna see anyone in the office. and he didn’t because we ate them all. take that.
14: min min

Name: Neo Bowser City (aka Koopa City in PAL regions)
Debut: Mario Kart 7
Do you ever think of all the weird locations we only ever see in Mario Kart games? Despite being the biggest of all of Mario's spin-off franchises, when you really get down to it, remarkably few Mario Kart courses are actually based on established Mario locations!
It's not none, there's the occasional Donut Plains and Tick-Tock Clock and Airship Fortress, but most of the courses are these weird one-off locations we never see outside the context of that specific racetrack.
But have you ever taken a moment to step back and like, think of the Lore Implications of some of these places?
Tumblr media
Like okay! Bowser just owns this whole dang cyberpunk city and we only ever see it in the context of Kart Racing! How messed up is that?!
One day Mario and Friends were looking for new places to race, and Bowser must have said something like "Gwah-hah-hah! I bet you puny punks could NEVER beat me in a race in my cyberpunk metropolis!" and right then and there it was established that Bowser owns a cyberpunk metropolis. Neo Bowser City is a city that exists in the Super Mario World and aside from returning in other Mario Kart games, it hasn't been acknowledged before or since.
Tumblr media
Neo Bowser City first appeared in Mario Kart 7, as the third course in the Star Cup. Despite its flashy visuals, it actually doesn't really have a whole lot going on. It's a difficult track with some tight turns made more difficult by the rain making things more slippery, but besides that it doesn't really have any of the Wacky Obstacles that define so many Mario Kart courses.
Tumblr media
Then it returned in Mario Kart 8 looking more gorgeous than ever! The bright colors really pop out, and the whole track is just oozing with detail that really emphasizes the scale of this city!
But like, the emphasized scale really only further raises the question of where this exists in the Mario World. Clearly, the fact that Bowser is plastered all over the billboards and the fact it's named "Neo Bowser City" helps us deduce that this city probably belongs to Bowser. Is this located in Bowser's Kingdom? Just how big is Bowser's Kingdom? And why does he own so many separate castles?
Maybe Neo Bowser City exists in the future? Is this a bad timeline? I mean, Mario Kart is allowed to have time-travel shenanigans. There's a Splatoon battle arena and that exists thousands of years in the future so sure, dust off Mario's Time Machine and head to the bad future where Bowser wins. Should've pressed that New Super Mario Bros. big yellow P-Switch!
I asked my friend Mod Chikako for their input and their theory is that Neo Bowser City isn't the future of Mario's world, but of our world. Clearly Bowser just couldn't take Wreck-It-Ralph losing the Oscar vote!
Tumblr media
But in that case I guess it's a cooler cyberpunk future than the one we're living in right now. Corporate monopolies that run mass-surveillance with little government intervention due to their extreme wealth giving them extensive political power? No thank you! Neo Bowser City has bright neon colors, and flying cars! If I'm going to live in a dystopia, I want it to be a fun one. The only advertisements I want to see plastered everywhere are ones advertising Bowser!
Tumblr media
Boo! That's the bad guy! Thumbs down!
Tumblr media
The course returns again in that pitiful mobile game with another redesign, this time letting us see his Coney Island Disco Palace off in the distance. Does Bowser live in his Neo City? Is this worldbuilding we've been missing out on for decades, finally answered by a kart racer? Is this the capital city of Bowser's Kingdom? Am I once again falling victim to my perpetual hubris of overthinking the Mario franchise?
Really, I can't offer too much in terms of wacky fan theories, because I'm still thinking about this location existing in the first place. I'd love to know the Lore and worldbuilding here, but I guess the nature of Mario's canon is that it doesn't need to be over-analyzed. Bowser simply owns a cyberpunk metropolis, we'll only ever see it in the context of kart racing, and maybe that's okay.
Tumblr media
Of course, this post wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention Dinohattan from the 1993 Super Mario Bros. Movie, which we've barely talked about on this blog somehow. You see, when the meteor hit, some of the dinosaurs escaped into a parallel timeline where they then evolved into humans, and then they built Dinohattan instead of Manhattan. Get it? Yeah, that movie is all sorts of bonkers. I wouldn't say it's very good, but I kinda love it. I'd recommend checking it out, if only to see a vastly different take on Mario than you'd be used to.
Anyway I bring this up because it's a completely separate instance of a version of Bowser building a large cyberpunk metropolis, and it actually predates Neo Bowser City! Do you think they could be connected? Are Dinohattan and Neo Bowser City one and the same...?

[ 9:36pm ] opening your eyes slowly, the first thing you saw was the oscar-winning movie you had been watching.
snuggling closer to mingyu, who already had wrapped an arm around you, you closed your eyes again in attempt to reassume sleeping.
mingyu let out a chuckle, causing your head resting on his chest to move a bit. you peeked an eye open and stole a glance at what was he watching. an animated movie?
“oh, sorry. did i wake you up? m’sorry” he mumbled, pressing a kiss onto your temple.
“what are you watching?” you asked, lazily shifting on his chest. your flight was quite long and you decided to use the opportunity of having a small screen with some movies on it but you fell asleep.
“the super mario bros movie” mingyu grinned and placed one of his earphones in your ear. then, mingyu started drawing shapes on your hip while explaining the lore “see, the big dinosaur-crocodile looking thing is bowser. he’s after mario because–“

Mario Bros: Take the Pain Away AU
Set in the Movie-verse, an AU to my usual works. WARNING graphic depiction of migraine pain and anxiety under the cut:
   After saving the Mushroom Kingdom, the Bros learned from Peach that the star spirits, powerful magical beings in this world, wanted to meet the heroes and grant each a wish as thanks for stopping Bowser. Gathering at Star Hill, they meet the eldest of star spirits...
    "Step forth, and speak your heart's desire."    Luigi took a step back, nervously wringing his hands. "M-Mario, you go first." he urged. "You deserve it." The older twin gave a bright smile. "Thanks, Lu. I've got something big I wanna ask for."    Retreating back to where Peach and Toad were waiting, Luigi watched as his brother stepped before the star spirit.      "Mario," the voice was warm and gentle, "you of brave and kind heart. What is your true desire?" Mario was quiet for a moment, glancing back at his little brother before turning back to the spirit with a determined look.      "My lil bro has always been there for me. I wanna do something for him. Can you grant my wish to take away his migraines?"    There was a choked gasp from behind him and a whimper. "M-Mario..."    The spirit looked sad. "I can do as you wish, but there is a price, my child. Pain cannot just be wished away. It must be taken on by another. This means all of it. All the pain of the past will be given to them in the breath of a moment and they will bare all the pain of the future from henceforth on. Do you know a soul willing to claim this burden?"      "I will." Mario spoke with no hesitation.    Luigi's scream was lost as a flash wrapped around both him and Mario. The older twin swayed. His body felt as though he had been lugging around a sandbag. His skin was clammy, chills made him shiver and nausea swept over him. As a haze wrapped around his mind he could faintly hear his little brother sobbing, begging for the wish to be reversed.
   Luigi, was this what you saw? he wondered as ribbons of lights danced all around his line of sight. The burning sensation over his skull was next, a building heat that made him break into a cold sweat and his stomach lurched, sending him to his knees.    A rush of fear and anxiety swept over him, sensations so intense he felt his mind was being ripped apart as Luigi's thoughts became his own.    Not again, not another one, please, not again...    I'm going to let everyone down.    They're going to hate me... I get sick so much....    Gotta get this done! Gotta help Mario before this starts!    Can't get sick can't get sick, we're on a job, I gotta keep going...    What if this never goes away? What if it never stops? Another wave of nausea, fear and stress squeezing his throat.    A night back at the apartment, staying after Sunday dinner because he was too sick to return to the Mushroom Kingdom. Then he was in a hospital bed, rushed to the ER in the middle of the night from the pain. He could hear Uncle Tony nearby, begging the doctor to run scans and citing his own medical history.      "Please, doc, kiddo's been so sick with this. Ya gotta check, make sure he doesn't have what I had..." The memories and echos swirled through his mind's eye, clouding his thoughts along with the thick brain fog.
   Then the pain hit.
   Mario hit the ground and curled up in the fetal position, trembling violently. He couldn't open his eyes, even the gentle glow of the stars all around were as bright as strobe lights. His head throbbed, pulses rippling down his spine before tearing up into his jaw and burrowing into his eyes. A sharp stabbing and it moved, burying into his temples before squeezing, a belt strapped round his head that threatened to pull and snap his neck. He gasped, shuddering breaths as tears streamed down his face. Was this what Luigi had always felt?    Another wave of pain and Mario did something he had never done. He screamed at the top of his lungs. His chest burned, tears like fire trickled down his cheeks as he broke, shivering and weeping as he gasped. The attempt to get enough air in his lungs to scream again was stopped as he felt arms pull him close. A warm chest beneath his head, the sound of a heart beating beneath his ear. A loving caress to his cheek as tears joined his.      "Pl-Please," Luigi pleaded, "reverse this, use my wish to make him better, anything, please!"      "L-Lu... N-No..." he mumbled. Luigi let out a sob. "I never wanted you to feel this." he wept. "Please, please give it back to me."    Lu, you call me brave but you've lived with this for years. Let me take it, you don't deserve this, Mario's inner thoughts reached the star spirit and they spoke with sadness.      "A wish granted to protect another cannot be reversed, cannot be wished away. Your brother's soul was bared with his wish, and it will not be taken from him."    The pain grew to be too much and Mario blacked out. The last thing he heard was Luigi crying softly.      "I have my wish."
   Mario was never sure exactly what Luigi had wished for that day. All he did know was when he was stricken with a migraine, hiding with only the dim night light to break through the darkness, he was able to sleep peacefully as long as his brother was with him.    Recorded in the history of the star spirits were the brother's wishes. Beside Luigi's name read "I wish to always bring him comfort."

Who wants to hear a story about Luigi x Donkey Kong that also has a large side of angst Bowuigi?
Because after being very inspired by @cbfanart, I sure as hell want to talk about it! :D
Y’all know the drill: Part of the story is under the cut because my dudes, this story is so long I have to split this into multiple posts.
Read Part 2 here!
********************
So one thing I want to emphasize in this story/idea is that in the beginning, Luigi has feelings for Bowser. However, the kicker in all of this is that while Bowser is completely aware of Luigi‘s feelings towards him, Bowser is just dealing with a lot of insecurities and fears that he honestly doesn’t know if he even feels the same way. Hell, every time Luigi tries to make a move on Bowser (in an attempt to let him know how he feels), Bowser accepts Luigi‘s advances at first, but this only last for about 5 seconds before Bowser realizes what he’s doing and quickly rejects Luigi’s advances.
And this cycle of Bowser leading Luigi on goes on for 6 whole months.
I don’t think I need to describe to you how much pain and heartbreak Luigi goes through during those 6 months.
So at the end of the sixth month, Luigi starts to realize that Bowser is never going to have feelings for him. However, just because Luigi realizes this doesn’t mean that it’s easy for him to accept. In fact, as soon as Mario steps foot into his and Luigi’s house later that day (he just came back from a date with Peach), he could tell that something was really, really wrong. Sure, nothing in the house looked out of the ordinary, but the atmosphere just felt…sad. Sad and broken.
When Mario checks in Luigi’s room, the very first thing he noticed was his baby brother on his bed with his back towards him. At first, Mario thought that Luigi was sleeping, but as soon as Mario heard a distinct sniffle from Luigi, that was when Mario realized that his little brother was not sleeping but actually crying.
When Mario gently asks Luigi what’s wrong, this would be when Luigi tells Mario everything. From having feelings for Bowser to Bowser rejecting all of his advances, Luigi makes sure no stone is left unturned as he tells Mario everything that’s happened over the past six months. So many emotions are racing through Mario’s head after hearing Luigi’s confession. As much as every part of Mario wants to go to the Dark Lands and throw Bowser in a lava pit…, he…can’t. Now, it’s not because Mario doesn’t want to beat Bowser to a pulp (trust me, he absolutely does), but Bowser is not Mario’s  #1 priority right now. Mario’s #1 priority right now is being here with Luigi and helping him with his heartbreak.
After Luigi tells Mario everything, Mario becomes a really supportive big brother for Luigi. However, while he’s helping Luigi, Mario inwardly tries to come up with a plan to get Bowser out of Luigi’s head (ideally, for good). The goods news is that Mario and Peach are actually traveling to the Jungle Kingdom in a few days (because Peach and Cranky Kong/CK are going to sign a peace treaty), so this trip would be a great way to help Luigi get over Bowser. However, the downside is that CK was very specific in only wanting Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, and himself to be in the room where they sign the peace treaty. (I like to imagine that CK just doesn’t like outsiders very much.)
The next morning, Mario tries to convince Peach to bring Luigi along with them. However, Peach is really hesitant with this because of CK’s request. Eventually, Mario does confess to Peach that the reason he wants Luigi to come along with them is because someone (he doesn’t mention Bowser’s name for Luigi’s sake) broke Luigi’s heart by rejecting all of Luigi’s advances and Mario thinks that taking Luigi to the Jungle Kingdom will help him with his heartbreak. Peach ponders this for about a minute and while she does end up allowing Luigi to come with them, it has to be on the condition that Luigi’s there to only to take important meeting notes.
2 days after Mario and Peach’s conversation, Mario, Peach, and Luigi (who was fine with leaving the Mushroom Kingdom once Mario told him he was allowed to come to the Jungle Kingdom with him and Peach) arrive at the Jungle Kingdom. The three of them meet two large Kong guards at the palace entrance. Peach introduces herself, Mario, and Luigi and tells the two guards that they are here for official royal business with CK. The two guards exchange a glance and are quiet for a few seconds, then one of them silently gestures Peach, Mario, and Luigi to follow him. The three humans follow the guard all the way to the throne room where we see CK sitting on his throne. Peach saids the following while bowing, “Greetings, King Cranky Kong. My name is Princess Peach and these two gentlemen accompanying me are Mario and Luigi, the brave heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. I am so glad that we can start a new chapter of peace between our two kingdoms.” CK is completely quiet because his entire focus is on Luigi. Using his staff to point at Luigi, CK tells Peach that the outsider (Luigi) is not supposed to be here. Peach then explains that while yes, they didn’t originally agree for Luigi to be here with them, she thought it would be a good idea to have someone write down everything they talk about during their meeting/signing of the peace treaty. CK continues to stare at Luigi (who starts to get nervous from the attention), but he eventually allows Luigi to stay for the meeting. However, CK tells Luigi that he will keep his eye on him (which makes Luigi even more nervous cause he doesn’t want to get on CK’s bad side). 
CK leads the three humans to the main conference room, but as soon as he opens the door, they all see Donkey Kong (DK) playing some kind of sports game with 5 Kong guards. CK yells, “What the hell is going on here?!” which causes DK and the Kong guards to immediately stop what they’re doing. The 5 guards quickly leave the room before DK explains to his dad that he got bored while waiting for all them to arrive. CK and DK have a small discussion/argument for the next minute or 2, but it eventually ends with CK telling DK that he will deal with “this” (DK and the 5 guards causing chaos in the main conference room) later. Since Mario and Peach already know who DK is (since I imagine that this story takes place after the events of the Mario Movie), CK makes the decision to introduce Luigi to DK (and vice versa) with this specific line: 
“Luigi, this is my son, Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong, this is Luigi, Mario’s brother and one of the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom.”
Everyone is quiet, but the silence is quickly broken when DK starts laughing at Luigi. This reaction kind of shatters Luigi’s self-confidence, which causes Mario to get mad and ask, “What the hell is so funny?!” DK wipes the tears off his face as he explains that with the amount of time that passed since the events of the Mario Movie, DK forgot how much of a weakling Luigi looks. This shatters Luigi’s self-confidence even more as Mario asks DK with a really pissed off tone, “And what the hell is that supposed to mean?!” Luckily, CK was able to stop the argument before Mario could have a chance to start a fight with DK.
The next scene takes place 2-3 hours later. Peach and CK are in the middle of a serious discussion, Mario is intensely listening to Peach and CK, Luigi is writing down important notes from the conversation, and DK is just sitting there looking really bored. He notices a nearby discarded napkin (since earlier in the meeting, a Kong guard brought them snacks) and grabs it. DK then watches Luigi for a few seconds before he gets an idea. DK then crumples his discarded napkin into a ball and, without anyone noticing, throws it at Luigi. The napkin quietly lands on Luigi’s notes, which causes Luigi to look at DK with a confused look. DK silently mouths, “What are you doing?” Luigi switches his attention between his notes and DK for a few seconds, but he remembers how hurt he felt earlier because of DK. Because of this, Luigi silently mouths, “Why do you care? I’m just Mario’s weakling little brother.” For some reason, Luigi’s remark stung DK, but before he can ponder this guilt for too long, CK suddenly smacks DK on the head with his staff. DK screams, “Ow! What was that for?!” To which CK responds, “You need to pay attention, son! I won’t be around forever, and it’s important that you know how to do all this royalty stuff!” DK and CK have a small argument for a while before they eventually go back to the actual task at hand.
3 hours later, the royal meeting is over for the day. As one of the Kong guards is telling some sort of story to DK, DK looks over to his right and sees Luigi and Mario exchanging a goodbye across the room. Feeling guilty about their first interaction, DK tells the Kong guard that they’ll talk later before walking towards Luigi. After Mario leaves, Luigi notices DK walking towards him and while he’s still a little hurt from their first interaction, he decides to stay and hear DK out. The following conversation is exchanged:
“Hey. Luigi, right?” DK asked.
Luigi is quiet for a few seconds, then answers, “That’s my name, or would you rather call me ‘Mario’s weakling little brother’?”
DK nervously laughs while rubbing the back of his head.
“Right…, I deserve that,” DK responded. It’s awkwardly silent between DK and Luigi for a few seconds before DK speaks again.
“Look…, I’m really sorry about what I said earlier,” DK apologized. “This whole peace treaty situation has been…really tense for me. Between my dad wanting me to take on royalty responsibilities to having to deal with your brother being under the same roof as me until all of this is done…, I’ve been really impulsive with my words and actions lately.”
Luigi is silent for a few seconds, then asks, “So when you said I look like a weakling…?”
“That was just me being an jerk and taking my anger out on you,” DK answered.
Luigi is quiet while thinking about what DK said. After a few minutes, Luigi smiles and tells DK, “I forgive you. And I’m sorry for snapping at you earlier. It’s just…things at home have been really stressful for me and Mario wanted me to come along on this trip to get away from it all.”  
DK is quiet as he ponders what Luigi just said. DK then gets an idea and asks Luigi the following with a smile.
“Do you…want to start over…? I know this place where we can get breakfast before tomorrow’s royal meeting, so if you want, we can go there and actually get to know each other better.”
Luigi thinks about DK’s offer for only a few seconds before he smiles, nods, and saids, “I would like that.” 
After that conversation, Luigi and DK would have breakfast every morning before each royal meeting. During each of their meet-ups, Luigi and DK would learn a lot about each other. For example, on their second meet-up, DK learns that Luigi defeated a whole mansion full of Boos in order to save Mario (from Luigi’s Mansion). On their third meet-up, Luigi learns that DK is pretty much immune to hypnosis (from Donkey Kong Country Returns). 
Six days after Peach, Mario, and Luigi arrived at the Jungle Kingdom, Luigi and DK decide to have dinner together (instead of breakfast). Both of them have a really good time at dinner, but the important detail to note is that this was the first and only meet-up that Mario spied on them. The reason for this is because after Luigi told Mario about his and DK’s meet-ups, Mario wanted to make sure that DK’s not hurting Luigi in anyway. However, during Luigi’s dinner with DK, Mario noticed that Luigi is…happy. Smiling, laughing, seeing his brother like this just warmed Mario’s heart (especially since this was the first time Luigi felt happiness after his heartbreak with Bowser).
The morning after Luigi and DK’s first dinner together, Peach and CK have officially signed a peace treaty. However, because the signing of the peace treaty took much longer than Peach anticipated (she expected it to take 2-3 days but it instead took a week), she tells Mario and Luigi that they are going to leave Jungle Kingdom as soon as possible (as opposed to spending the night) because she needs to get back to her kingdom. Even though DK knew that Luigi was going to have to return to the Mushroom Kingdom eventually, seeing the green-clad plumber leave still made DK sad for some reason. After everyone exchanges their goodbyes and right before Peach, Mario, and Luigi enter Peach’s pink plane, DK screams, “Wait!” Mario, Peach, and Luigi face DK before DK asks Peach, “Why doesn’t Luigi stay here for another week?” Seeing Peach’s confused expression, DK further explains that unlike Mario and Peach, Luigi never got the chance to fully see what all the Jungle Kingdom has to offer (from the Great Ring of Kong to the kart workshop). Peach isn’t sure how to respond to DK’s request, but Luigi does make things easier for DK by telling Mario and Peach that he would like to stay at the Jungle Kingdom a little longer. Peach is still a little hesitant with this (because she’s worried that she might needs Luigi’s help back at the MK), but once Mario states that he’s fine with Luigi staying with DK, Peach allows Luigi to stay at the Jungle Kingdom for another week while she and Mario head back to the Mushroom Kingdom today. 
I’m going to gloss over what happens during Luigi’s extended visit at the Jungle Kingdom, but I will point out three very important details that happen during Luigi’s extended visit.
On the third night of Luigi’s extended visit, Luigi decides to tell DK everything about his “relationship” with Bowser. From his feelings towards Bowser to how Bowser rejected all of Luigi’s advances, Luigi just puts it all out in the open. During this confession, Luigi does get really emotional, which makes DK feel both sad and angry because he doesn’t understand how someone could do that to someone as pure-hearted and kind as Luigi.
2 nights later, DK decides to surprise Luigi by making a very special dinner for him. As the two are enjoying the food DK made for them, DK confesses to Luigi that he has feelings for him. To be perfectly honest, DK has had feelings for Luigi for a while (this is the real reason why DK wanted Luigi to stay an extra week at the Jungle Kingdom), but after hearing what all Luigi went through with Bowser, DK wanted to be completely open and honest with Luigi.
Hearing DK’s confession brought Luigi so much joy and relief because after their heartfelt conversation 2 nights ago, Luigi discovered that he has feelings for DK. However, because of his trauma with Bowser, Luigi (up until this point) was really hesitant with accepting his feelings for DK and was also afraid to make a move on DK for fear of DK leading him on.
On the morning that Luigi has to head back to the Mushroom Kingdom, DK offers to take Luigi (his new boyfriend) back to the MK by kart. While Luigi is a little scared (because during his stay, he discovered how…not great of a kart driver DK is), he agrees to DK’s offer. The drive to the MK went very smoothly (much to Luigi’s surprise). As a thank you, Luigi asks DK if he wants to spend the rest of the day & night at his and Mario’s house to rest (since I imagine the drive from the Jungle Kingdom to the Mushroom Kingdom would take a while). While DK wants to, he tells Luigi that he should head back to the Jungle Kingdom because CK wants him to attend some royal meeting early tomorrow morning. Before DK leaves, he kisses Luigi on the lips and tells him that they’ll see each other again soon. 
Unbeknownst to everyone, Bowser had been staking out at Mario and Luigi’s house for the past week because he wanted to talk to Luigi (but had been unsuccessful before due to Mario repeatedly telling him that Luigi wants nothing to do with Bowser anymore). However, seeing DK kiss Luigi just...did not sit well with Bowser…
After their first kiss, DK and Luigi take turns spending every weekend at their partner’s kingdom (week 1: DK spends the weekend at the MK, week 2: Luigi spends the weekend at the Jungle Kingdom, etc.). On one particular Saturday morning (2 months after their first kiss), Luigi and DK are just watching television at DK’s tree house when they suddenly hear Diddy Kong scream, “Donkey Kong!” Luigi and DK quickly go out to the deck to see Diddy Kong running towards the tree house with nothing but panic in his eyes. When Diddy Kong finally arrives at the tree house, DK immediately asks Diddy Kong what’s wrong. Diddy Kong takes a minute to catch his breath, but as soon as he’s able to, he quickly tells Luigi and DK that Bowser and his minions are attacking Jungle Kingdom. Luigi turned as pale as a Boo upon the mention of Bowser’s name, but he tries to remain calm as DK asks Diddy Kong where CK is. Diddy Kong explains that CK and a bunch of Kong guards are preparing an attack on Bowser and his minions, although he doesn’t know how much time they have since Bowser and his minions are pretty much beelining to the palace. DK is conflicted on whether he should bring Luigi with him or have him stay at the tree house, but as soon as he sees Luigi’s nervous expression, DK tells Luigi that he needs to stay at the tree house. Luigi immediately disagrees with DK as he explains that he can’t let DK fight Bowser alone. DK attempts to reassure Luigi that he’s not going to fight Bowser alone because he’ll have a bunch of Kongs (guards or otherwise) helping him. Plus, DK also kind of brags in the sense that since they’ve defeated Bowser once, he’s confident Bowser can be defeated again. Luigi is still hesitant with DK’s decision, but he eventually nods with a worried expression and saids, “Please be safe.” DK kisses Luigi’s forehead and saids, “I will. I love you, Luigi.” Luigi whispers, “Ti amo, DK.” (I love you in Italian) before DK and Diddy Kong quickly leave, leaving Luigi alone.
About 30 minutes pass by and DK still hasn’t returned. Luigi is scared. He wants to respect DK’s wishes and stay put, but at the same time, the guilt of innocent Kongs getting hurt/killed is just destroying him. Suddenly, Luigi hears a knock at the door. At first, Luigi thought it was DK, but then he realized that this is DK’s tree house. There would be no reason for DK to knock on his own tree house door. Even though his brain knew it was a bad idea, Luigi hesitantly makes the decision to open the door. 
*********
But what is on the other side of the door you may ask?
Well, stay tuned for part 2 and you'll find out. ;)

Miraculous Ladybug characters and what character in Mario Kart 8 I think they choose as well as if they’re good at the game, based on the vibes I get from them!
Marinette: Used to play Peach but now is purely loyal to Toadette and Toadette ONLY! Canonically great at video games, so Mario Kart is naturally included.
Adrien: CAT PEACH. If anyone else chooses Cat Peach, he immediately gives them a DEVASTATED look and they swap immediately. Very good at the game, he has three stars on every cup!
Alya: Daisy. She will FIGHT anyone else trying to pick Daisy. Nobody is taking Daisy from her. She’s pretty decent at the game but is mostly just here to have fun and maybe kick some ass.
Nino: Strikes me as either a Yoshi guy or Shy Guy guy, though he’s chill if other people wanna pick them. Also decent but has a grudge against certain NPC opponents.
Chloé: Pink. Gold. Peach. Threatens to sue if anyone else takes her. She’s actually pretty good at the game and tends to be VERY agro. No mercy, she needs to WIN.
Kagami: Has swapped between a lot of different people but settled on Link. Incredibly intense in-game. She’s willing to battle to the death.
Félix: Isabelle from Animal Crossing. Do not let it fool you. He wants to WIN and he will red shell you at the worst time to do it.
Luka: Claims he’ll ‘Choose anybody’ but he’ll go for Rosalina if given the choice. He’s just trying to have fun and is 90% of the reason why controllers are not thrown at the TV. Juleka claims he’s “Going easy” on everyone so less feelings will be hurt. (She’s right, he loses on purpose a lot.)
Juleka: Dry Bones or Dry Bowser, she thinks they’re both cool. Doesn’t usually get top 5 if everyone is playing but consistently gets 6-7th! Hitting people with red and blue shells is kinda cathartic for her.
Rose: Sometimes picks one of the baby versions of the characters, but other times chooses one of Bowser’s kids, like Wendy or Roy. The former is for when she’s playing to have fun, the latter is for when she’s gunning for top 3.
Zoé: Pretended to be bad at the game until she realized she didn’t need to spare anyone’s feelings. Very good at the game, knows a lot of the techniques to give herself mini boosts. She LOVES Boswer Jr., especially after becoming Kitty Noire.
Sabrina: Genuinely one of the best players… When she’s not playing with Chloé. Otherwise she’s always letting her win, aiding her the best she can, and pretty much always gets whatever rank is directly behind hers. Claims her favorite character is Baby Peach (it’s actually King Boo).
Kim: DONKEY KONG. Also occasionally Wario. He’s actually kinda terrible at the game but he tends to spams items and makes that everyone else’s problem.
Max: Chooses one of the Inkling Kids (he strikes me as someone who also probably loves Splatoon). He’s good at the game but with how many other people are also good at the game, sometimes he gets overshined. He’s better at fighting games.
Alix: Waluigi 100%. She thinks he’s hilarious and while she doesn’t actually care, she WILL bring up ‘Waluigi should’ve been in Smash Ultimate’ At some point, because she thinks it’s funny. Not great at the game, is here purely to spam items and fuck over as many people as possible.
Myléne: Terrible at the game but plays to have fun! Likes to play Boswer because Ivan has cosplayed as him before.
Ivan: Also terrible at the game but likes losing alongside Myléne. Likes to play as Luigi, though occasionally chooses Dry Boswer if no one else has.
Nathaniel: Rarely plays but will choose Rosalina or Lemmy if he does. Likes to play against other casual people but usually dips if too many competitive people are playing at once.
Marc: Surprisingly really good though isn’t always good about asking if he can have a turn or not. Loves to pick the animal crossing villagers if they haven’t been chosen.
Lila: Claims she’s won a championship before. Is actually terrible at the game with the worst luck and very rarely plays. The first time she was gonna play with the class, she selected Cat Peach. Everyone stared at her as Adrien gave her the most devastated look. She panicked and faked an injury to stop playing altogether.

Lads Boys playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Sylus always throws that mf blue shell when you're close to the finish line. His Drifting is great. if you throw a red shell at him, he WILL get you back. And Yes He does Vengeance. Plays as bowser or as other villains. hums along the soundtrack while playing.
Zayne is great a taking the shortcuts. always get the right items at the right moment. He plays as cute characters don't ask him why.
Rafayel beefing with the characters. "Did Donkey Kong just push me off the cliff????" was once attacked by many items in one go "WAAAHT??! ******** JJFFUDBEU *********!" He plays as peach or as sea related creatures.
Caleb this mf.....he plays it just to annoy people. he'd let people surpass him so he can throw a green shell at them. his favorite weapon is lighting. His stomach hurts from laughing a lot from his EVIL deeds. Plays as Mario or as other characters.
Xavier is king of aiming green shells at people. When he plays online, he's always last somehow...pfft! He plays as the cutest character. knows how to drift well. He's here to have a great time, honestly.
Bonus
"Guess who's last again." Rafayel mocked Xavier, then saw his princess peace fell down a cliff. Rafayel squealed in horror.
Xavier bypassed Rafayel. "it seems that i still have a chance"
Caleb laughed at the scene. he was in first place. He was holding onto a horn to block the blue shell at any moment. oh man, he felt cocky. "It feels nice to be in first place!"
Sylus chuckled at that. "Don't get too ahead of yourself, Mario." Sylus was in third place. "Zayne, it seems you had a peaceful ride, maybe too peaceful." Sylus received a red shell.
Zayne was in second place. "There's nothing wrong with a peaceful ride."

Something Goes Wrong and Bowser Jr.'s clown car ends up flying off halfway across the globe with Luigi in tow. They crash-land in a hostile environment which means they can't just wait by the wreckage for rescue, and to distract Junior from how much danger they're in Luigi pulls the two-way radio out of the car and asks if Junior can fix it.
Meanwhile back home everybody thinks that Junior kidnapped Luigi for some reason, which leads to Bowser and Mario fighting, which means nobody notices for most of a day that Junior really should have been back by now...
Surprisingly, Junior does fix the radio, and manages to contact his dad just as Bowser is starting to worry. Junior assures him they're fine, they just don't know where they are, and they're traveling in the direction Luigi thinks people most likely are. Bowser yells at Luigi that he'd better keep Junior safe, Luigi says he will, and that's that.
Until a few hours later when Junior has dropped off to sleep and Luigi uses the radio again to let Bowser know that they are not okay, there's hazards and predators everywhere, Luigi has no idea where people might be, he's just been lying and distracting Junior all day to keep him calm.
Bowser is like, "Good. Continue that." and asks Luigi for more details about where they are so he can mount a rescue team.
But out of spite Bowser doesn't tell Mario that he's heard from his brother.
The next day is more travel and more danger and once again Luigi waits until they've found shelter and Junior is asleep before radioing Bowser to update their actual progress and not just whatever Junior reported at random. This time Bowser listens a little better, and gives advice on the monsters he recognizes. Eventually Luigi actually feels a little bit reassured.
It keeps going like that for days. Luigi is running on adrenaline and fumes, they're foraging for supplies when they're not running for their lives, and since Junior is oblivious to most of the danger he keeps insulting Luigi for being a coward and a wimp. Bowser is sending out search parties to everywhere that matches their descriptions, but they're spending so much time fighting and fleeing that even if a ship flew right overhead they might not notice it.
But every night Bowser and Luigi talk, and though Bowser is still prickly about it he can't help but appreciate everything Luigi is doing for his son. Likewise, Luigi looks forward to those talks as the only time of day he can let out what he's really feeling.
Finally they stumble upon a town. Luigi goes to the first person he sees, asks where they are, reports that back to Bowser, and passes out.
Next time he opens his eyes he's laying in a doctor's office with Bowser, of all people, yelling about how hard can it possibly be to treat a guy for heat stroke?! while Junior, sound asleep, clings to Luigi's hand.
The next next time he opens his eyes he's in Bowser's castle and Bowser is fighting with Mario in the hallway about whether or not Luigi should be moved again. Luigi drags himself out of bed to tell both of them to please keep it down and he's fine and what day is it?
Over the time Luigi is recovering (it's mostly exhaustion and stress but he's not complaining about the meals in bed) he talks with Bowser more and more. About what happened, but also in general, casual conversations. Chit-chat. And Junior likes to come visit him too, even if he's just drawing or playing with toys in the corner. He still doesn't seem to understand how close they both came to dying out there, but it's clear he feels comfortable with Luigi nearby.
And so does Bowser, Bowser realizes, when it's time for Luigi to go. Those evening conversations weren't exactly enjoyable, under the circumstances, but he got used to Luigi's voice. Even with Junior back, without Luigi the castle is going to feel... empty.
Just as Bowser is trying to think of how to ask if he can see Luigi again, Luigi asks for Bowser's number.
"I'm not sure I can fall asleep anymore without hearing your voice."
Choked up, all Bowser can say is, "Sure."

For Mario and Luigi’s birthday. @silenzahra @vulpixfairy1985 @bberetd @itsavee4117 @peaches2217 @megamagimugi @jelly-fish-wishes @roscolate @pianokantzart @keakruiser gets a bit emotional at the end sorry. 😅🎂
“The greatest gift”
The relief both brothers felt when they were reunited was impossible to explain. Mario had walked three whole days through a new world, not knowing where Luigi was or if he was okay. He felt a great fear in his heart that he would never see his beloved baby brother ever again.
Luigi on the other hand, spent his three days above boiling lava, in a hot metal cage, sweat mixed with tears as he wondered where his dear big brother could be and if he’d ever see him again. When Cranky Kong told Luigi that Mario had died on Rainbow Road he swore his heart stopped, he felt devastated, feeling he had no reason left to live.
That’s why, when both brothers finally reunited, feeling all the love, longing, desperation and fear as the two hugged, they made a mental promise to the other that they wouldn’t let anyone take each other away again. All though now, Mario might’ve made his promise a little stronger because the night after they finally were back in their shared bedroom was when everything started to go wrong.
The first night was ok. Mario and Luigi fell asleep in Mario’s bed, Luigi close to him and giving Mario some much needed reassurance. But the next night Luigi went to sleep in his own bed and it was that night that the paranoia started. Mario awoke with a gasp, nearly screaming as he had a horrible nightmare. That he didn’t save Luigi from the lava or Bowser, that he was.. too late. Mario rushed other to Luigi’s bed to check him and the relief he felt seeing that he was okay nearly matched that of when he Saved Luigi.
Mario tried to go back to sleep after that but he couldn’t. Every time he would start to drift off, he would see Luigi dying in his dreams. It was from then on that Mario decided he would keep a watchful eye on Luigi at all times, day and night and of course that meant no falling asleep. Mario barely ever got more than maybe an hour of sleep a night and it somehow got worse when they moved to the Mushroom Kingdom. Every little noise he would hear while watching over Luigi’s sleeping body, he’d immediately assume that a Toad walking by or a broken twig was Bowser coming to take Luigi away from him again.
Mario’s sleepless mind’s one saving grace was that whenever Luigi had nightmares, he’d ask Mario to cuddle him. And before he could even finish asking, Mario would be by his side instantly and pull his body close to his, those were the only times Mario ever got a good nights sleep. Part of Mario always felt guilty that deep down his exhausted mind would secretly hope for Liuigi to have nightmares so he could have an excuse to hold him close and to finally get a good night sleep. But he felt good that he’d always be there the second his little brother needed comforting.
They’ve been living in the Mushroom Kingdom for a few months now, that night was the same as all the others. Mario was sitting on their desks stool, keeping a watchful eye on Luigi making sure he had a peaceful sleep. Instead of sleeping Mario tended to “zone out” until he heard a noise outside or chaught Luigi turning in his sleep.
Mario snapped back to reality as he heard Luigi shuffle under the blankets. Worried he was having another nightmare, he stood up ready to comfort him. But he noticed Luigi’s shaky breaths and movements weren’t necessarily out of fear, since his face was still peaceful as he slept. He went to reach out and touch Luigi’s shoulder. Luigi’s eyes suddenly snapped open and Mario quickly backed up so he wouldn’t see him. “M-Mario?” Luigi asked only lazily moving his eyes around.
Mario sighed with a smile “Mario, you awake?” Luigi asked again in a sleepy tone. “Y-yeah.. I’m awake.” He said as he approached Luigi’s bed again “you okay? What’s wrong?” Mario placed his hand on Luigi’s shoulder “hmmm s’ddnly r’lly c’ld..” he muttered “can.. can I have a hug?” Mario smiled and rubbed his shoulder “yeah of course, scooch over.” Mario climbed into Luigi’s bed and wrapped his arms around him protectively and pulled him close, Luigi snuggling in closer, laying his head on his big brothers chest. Usually Luigi would be very shaky and panicked for the first few minutes that Mario hugged him. But this time the shakes only lasted a few seconds, his breathing calm and from were Mario had his arms wrapped around him could feel that his heartbeat was slow and steady.
Mario sighed in relief and let himself rest ‘Poor Lu..’ Mario thought ‘I didn’t realise how much the Mushroom kingdoms fall season would affect him- wait.. fall season?’ He glanced over at their wall calendar and saw that the last day checked was September 30th. October was starting tomorrow.. wait tomorrow?! Mario and Luigi’s birthday was in October! Mario hadn’t even realised! That’s it. Mario was grateful for this pleasant sleep he’d get because fist thing in the morning, Mario would start thinking of and looking for a good birthday present for Luigi.
~~~~~
The next day while Luigi was off to get some more plant food and seeds for his garden, Mario made his way into Toad Town. He aproached each stall scanning the contents carefully. There were Power-Ups, ornaments, NES cartridges, maybe Mario could get Luigi a puzzle game so they could play together on his NES more often and have Luigi actually have a chance at winning for once. He approached a stall selling different types of pets, some Biddy-Bugs, baby piranha plants and some multi coloured Cheep-Cheeps. Maybe a pet would be good for Luigi to have keep him company whenever Mario was out or visiting Peach.
The Biddy-Bugs and Cheep-Cheeps seemed like the safest choice so he asked the Toad running the stall. “Oh yeah sure! The Cheep-Cheeps are super friendly.” Said the Toad. Mario went to a small fish tank full of Cheep-Cheeps only for them all to snap at him, some spiky purple ones showing him sharp teeth. “Super friendly once you get to know em..” the Toad nervously chuckled. Okay so maybe not a pet..
Mario ended up going to the castle to see if Peach had any ideas. As Mario entered, Luigi was leaving the castle gardens with his new garden supplies. “Oh hey bro!” Luigi smiled “did you need something?” Mario froze for a second “Oh uh- no I just- I was just giving the Princess a visit..” there, that’s a good enough lie. Luigi raised an eyebrow with a big teasing smirk on his face “okaaay. Let me know how your date goes!” Luigi called walking past him “LU!” Mario grumbled as Luigi let out a little giggle before running off. ‘Note to self, get revenge on Luigi after our birthday.’ Mario thought as he walked through the main hall.
He and Peach ended up sitting in the castle gardens gazebo sharing a cup of Tea with each other. “So I want it to be something really special.” Mario had said. Peach thought for a moment about the ideas he’d told her before forming a small smile on her face “you know Moustache, maybe it only needs to be a simple gift, sometimes less is more.” She smiled. Mario nodded feeling more confident.
“Thanks Princess. Luigi means so much to me and after everything he’s been through this year, he really deserves the best birthday ever..” an idea then started to form “uh Princess?” Mario asked refilling his teacup “do you know any good tailors?” Peach smiled “I think I can help you that Mario. In fact I’m sure I can have them get it done by Friday.” “Really? You’d do that for me?” Mario asked amazed. He started reaching into his pocket to get his wallet “how much will it-“ But he was cut of by Peach holding her hand in front of him “there’s no need for that Moustache. You and Luigi are the heroes of my kingdom, it’s the least I could do” she smiled.
Mario went and tucked his wallet back into his pocket, Peach was smiling at him fondly “W-What?” Mario asked, a blush forming on his face “Oh! Uh nothing!” Peach said looking away as she now started to blush “I was just thinking about how lucky Luigi is to have you as his brother. To him you’re probably the best brother in the world.” Mario’s blush deepened “Th-thank you Princess..” he scratched the back of his head nervously before another idea came to mind. Peach smiled, she could see the cogs turning in his head “I uh, have got some things to get done..” he blushed. Peach nodded “good luck with the gifts Mario.” She smiled as he nodded and left through garden gate.
~~~~~
It was a cold Autumn evening, Mario had got everything ready and should be getting a call from the Tailors by morning. Thanks to the nights being colder, Mario actually managed to got a few good night sleeps since he was cuddling Luigi to keep him warm and Luigi kept asking if it was ok to keep hugging. Mario didn’t need to answer as he slid into bed and would wrap his arms around him before giving him a kiss on the forehead, willing the warmth of the gesture to warm Luigi up on the inside as well as the outside.
Luigi was cuddled up next to Mario, his hands keeping a firm yet gentle grip on Luigi as he felt him self doze off. Luigi’s head was laid on his brothers chest, being lulled to sleep by Mario’s slow and steady heartbeat. He felt Mario take a deep breath then relax prompting Luigi to nuzzle in further. Luigi was having trouble sleeping, mainly because he felt guilty about asking to use Mario as a heater every night, it was probably so annoying. He guessed that Mario wasn’t getting any sleep because of it which made Luigi feel even more guilty because these cuddles with Mario were probably the best sleeps he’d had since moving to the Mushroom Kingdom.
Every night since moving, he’d have horrible nightmares unless Mario hugged him, some worse then others but still feeling guilty whenever he felt Mario slide into bed next to him and pull him close. Why did he deserve such an amazing big brother? He’d seen the bags under Mario’s eyes yet even when he had insisted he wasn’t cold, Mario wouldn’t buy any of his lies and still comfort and warm him. How much sleep was he getting with Luigi’s stupid shivering?
Luigi tried to let his mind wander, glancing around the room until his eyes landed on the calander. October.. wait October?! Luigi leaned over Mario and checked his phone.
10:00 PM Thursday October 9th.
‘October 9th?!’ He thought starting to worry. He didn’t have a present ready! He had been so busy worrying about Mario getting a good sleep and trying to figure out ways to help him along with the plumbing, he didn’t even realise the month! ‘Mario’s gonna hate me if he sees I didn’t get him anything for our birthday!’ Luigi thought frantically. No.. Mario was way too nice to ever be mad at Luigi, but knowing that made Luigi’s guilt feel even worse. His great big brother, who had saved his life, even though he wasn’t worthy of being remembered, let alone rescued was not going to have anything on their birthday! ‘I.. I still have time!’ Luigi thought with a confidence he didn’t really have. First thing tomorrow, he could do this, one last chance to make things right.
Luck was not on Luigi’s side however as all of Toad Towns stalls closed early on a Friday. Desperate he pulled out his phone and did some online shopping. Everything on their was either to expensive (he and Mario shared a bank account, so he didn’t wanna waste his brothers hard earned cash.) or wouldn’t arrive until the day after their birthday. Luigi texted their Mum with worry, asking for any ideas. She suggested getting something from the house or if not that then maybe the thrift shop down the road. She had said that Mario will love whatever he got him and to not worry about getting it to late. Luigi sighed as he realised he’d have to take his mum’s advice.
Luigi settled on a mug he’d seen in the thrift shop window, the store was closing when he got there so he quickly asked the woman closing the door if he could buy the mug in the window. The lady told him that her boss didn’t let anyone in after 4 PM with the colder weather being more frequent but she said she could mark the mug as sold and hold onto for him so he could collect by morning. That would have to do he guessed..
The next morning, October 11th, super early, Luigi carefully crept out of Mario’s arms as to not wake him before sneaking out the kitchen and to the front door. It was half past seven, he had a good thirty minutes before Mario woke up. He rushed his way through Brooklyn, to the thrift shop, bought the ten dollar mug and started heading back to the warp pipe. The Mug was a generic white with big black letters reading: #1 BOSS! Luigi pulled out a red pen from his pocket and scribbled out BOSS! And put BROTHER! Underneath it.
Luigi while holding the mug close started running back home. He ran through the Mushroom Fields, past Toad Town and was almost army the house, only for a Buddy-Bug (presumably escaped from the near by farm) ran in front of him. Luigi tripped just outside the house falling flat on his face from how fast he ran.
When Luigi pulled himself up he felt his heart break into a million pieces just like the mug before him. From wher he held the mug he ended up getting scratches across his top and overalls but only a few scratches. He felt something wet on his hand and looked down to see his right palm was cut from the porcelain shards. He hissed in pain as he took his glove off and then tried to pull the small chunk out of his palm. A tear slipped down his cheek as his hand stung and his other hands glove started to get drops of blood on it. Luigi quickly hid his hand when he heard the front door open. Oh god.. oh no, not now!
Luigi felt a hand cupping his cheek “Lu?.. Lu! Are you okay?!” Mario nearly shouted as he saw specks of blood on Luigi’s gloves. ‘Mario shouldn’t be worrying. Can’t he see that I just ruined his gift?’ Luigi thought sadly as Mario checked his one hand the the slightly bloody one. “Luigi, how did..” Mario stopped his thoughts when he saw the mug shattered on the ground, three big chunks of it were close enough for him to Read the message, his face softened when he saw the: BROTHER! In Luigi’s rushed writing. “N’aww Lu..” Mario smiled softly. He pulled Luigi to his feet then carefully guided him into the house, he sat Luigi on the end of his bed as he went to go grab the first aide kit from the kitchen cupboard.
He removed the small chunk and the smaller (almost like glass) pieces of porcelain before dipping it into a glass of water then putting on some disinfectant, when he saw the blood wasn’t clotting he wrapped some gaze around it before quickly leaving to put everything back and wash his hands. When he came back he climbed onto his bed and scooted close to Luigi. “You okay now?” Mario asked seeing some tears in his brothers eyes. Luigi responded with a little whimper before nodding. Mario looked around trying to find something to take Luigi’s mind off of everything. Then he remembered.
“C’mon” Mario said putting a hand on Luigi’s shoulder “get yourself out of those bloodied up overalls and into something more comfortable.” As Luigi went and got himself some clean green sweatpants to throw on, Mario leaned over his bed a pulled something out from under his pillow. Luigi chucked his overalls in the washing basket before turning around only to be surprised to see Mario holding a present and something else behind his back.
Luigi sat next to Mario and slowly took the gift from his hand. He untied the rope ribbon then unwrapped the green wrapping paper to reveal a sweater. It was the same green as Luigi’s shirt, pn the back in dark green writing was a big number one and on the front.. LUIGI NUMBER 1 BRO! With Luigi’s face next to the writing with a big happy smile on his face. Luigi let out a breath he didn’t realise he was holding when he felt Mario’s hand rest on his shoulder.
“D’you like it Lu?” Mario asked tensing up slightly. Luigi could only nod before pulling his shirt off and replacing it with sweater. It was warm and fluffy “F-Feels like getting a hug from you..” Luigi muttered, a tear falling down his cheek. “Peach knew some really good tailors.” Mario smiled.
Luigi turned to hug and thank Mario only to be surprised at the thing Mario was holding in his hands. A green picture frame with little stick-on heart shaped gems, white lines going through it, shaped like vines then at the top, in white colouring said: MY and at the bottom said HERO and in the middle of it all was a mirror where Luigi saw his own face looking back at him.
Luigi stared at his reflection as Mario handed it to him. Luigi sighed and said “i think you bought this for the wrong person..” before turning it around so Mario could see his own reflection. Mario smiled and shook his head “no you’re definitely the right person, you’re my hero Lu and in more ways then one.” Luigi looked at the mirror then at Mario “I didn’t do much compared to what you’ve done. I picked up a manhole cover and that’s about it-“ was all Luigi got out before Mario interrupted “you saved my life, you’ve always been there for me no matter what and have put up with my brash decisions every time.. you’re my hero Luigi and I owe my life to you. Maybe more.”
Luigi felt his cheeks blush before Mario continued “after all those terrible nights.. I’m so glad I get to give these to you.” Luigi smiled as Mario’s words registered in his brain.. wait. Terrible nights? Luigi glanced up at Mario “Have-Have you been having nightmares too?” Luigi said looking Mario in the eyes. It wasn’t a question and Mario’s stunned silence was enough to answer. Mario sighed “E-Every night.. since IT happened I.. ive has these horrible dreams about me being too late, not saving you and having to watch you die over and over again.. it got so bad I decided that-that sleeping wasn’t worth it but I couldn’t tell you about it because.. you had suffered way was then me and I-I didn’t want to burden with my problems. The only times I ever got a good night sleep was whenever we cuddled knowing I could hear and feel you. Knowing that you were there, y’know?”
Luigi let the words sink in before saying “Is-Is that why you always left the desks stool in the middle of the room? Because you were-“ “watching over you. Yes.” Mario finished. Luigi felt guilty again, how could he not see that Mario had needed comfort? More so than him. Luigi Looked away guiltily. He felt Mario cup his cheek. “Luigi..” Mario sighed. Luigi refused to look him in the eye.. “Lu.” That did it, hearing his nickname got Luigi to Look up at Mario. Luigi started to sob.
“I-I’ma so sorry bro!” Luigi cried nuzzling in To Mario’s collarbone “I-I was afraid th-that asking you for comfort from or nightmare or more re-recently from the cold was keeping you awake! And no, you’re not a burden bro. You deserve the world and more. You saved my life so the least I could do would be to comfort you. I always sleep better in your arms anyway..” Luigi sniffed as he nuzzled closer. “You deserved the best birthday and I ruined it! You had to waste you morning helping me and-and while you got me these amazing gifts, I couldn’t get you one and the one I did get you was trash compared and to top it all off I broke it!-“
“Luigi!” Mario yelled scaring Luigi into shutting up. His face softened and he spoke a lot calmer “Lu.. you don’t have to get my anything for our birthday. The fact that I nearly lost you.. I felt that you deserve this birthday more then me because.. you almost didn’t get to have it.” Mario took a deep breath, pulling Luigi closer before he continued.
“since this month began, the nightmares have been worse because not only do I not save you, not only do I watch you die but these dreams are longer with me having to see what my life is like without you. And.. when our birthday comes around I can’t bring myself to be happy because you’re not there! Sometimes I’d see you as a ghost but you would just stare at me. Sometime sad, scared or angry. And I could never bring myself to say sorry because I didn’t deserve your forgiveness! Every night in my dreams, I’d have to live with the fear that I’d never get to say happy birthday or merry Christmas to you ever again! I don’t need a birthday gift, I just need to know that you’re alive and well, that’s more then enough for me.”
Luigi’s eyes widened before softening to take Mario’s hand “Mario.” Luigi started, staring directly into his eyes “If I had died that day I would never hate you or be angry with you, I know you would’ve tried everything in your power to save me and just being able to know that you didn’t die on rainbow road, that you had a second chance to keep living after my mistake with the warp pipe would be more then enough for me to die happy. I’d only be sad because I didn’t get to apologise myself or say goodbye and if I really did appear as a ghost.. I’d protect you, love you as you deserve to be. I could never hate you Mario even in death and I’d never leave you.”
Luigi gently took Mario’s hand and placed it flat on his chest. He heard Mario gasp as he felt his heart thumping under his palm “Just know that I’m here now. I love you and I’d never leave you. May we have many more birthdays together and.. happy birthday Mario.”
Mario sighed deeply before looking into Luigi’s eyes, pulling their foreheads together. Luigi could see what Mario was thinking through his eyes. ‘I was also afraid I’d never hear you that that again either.’ Mario and Luigi sighed as Mario pressed his palm deeper into Luigi’s chest. Luigi felt his heart give a little jump before going back into a slightly fast but steady rhythm. He pulled Mario up to the head of the bed and they both snuggled under the blanket. Mario moving his hand away and placed his head against Luigi’s chest in its place.
Mario smiled as a final tear slipped from his face. “Happy birthday Luigi.. and I love you too.. you’re the greatest gift I could ever ask for.
-The End.
Phew 😅 that took me longer then I expected it too. But I hope you all enjoyed nonetheless! 🎂
