Saw your how Mario would react if he saw Bowser hurting Luigi post (https://www.tumblr.com/multicolour-ink/722130625330577408/how-would-you-think-mario-would-react-if-he) and I loved it. But it also got me thinking: How would Luigi react if he saw Bowser hurting Mario?

If we assume that Luigi didn't already see Bowser beating Mario up in Brooklyn when he was hiding in the dumpster - then not very good.

Listen. These bros would fight to help to each other. Even if Mario is the more physical, impulsive fighter than Luigi...that doesn't mean that Luigi would not lose his mind over the idea of Mario being hurt.

If the roles were reversed (if Bowser was holding Mario in his hand and Luigi was being held back) Luigi would lose it. He would scream and cry, begging Bowser not to hurt his brother. He would try to run up to him, try to wriggle out of the grasp of the minions holding him back.

I also believe that when Mario feels helpless, the more desperate he becomes. But the more helpless Luigi feels (especially if his brother is in the hands of an enemy), the more angry he gets. Luigi is the more emotional of the two, and wears his heart on his sleeve. The second Bowser's claw comes close to Mario's throat, the more Luigi's rage builds...He screams louder than anyone in the room has ever heard him.

Bowser laughs at this display. But he also can't help but feel a little afraid...

Afterwards, when all is settled and right, the bros hug each other tight and Luigi's rage submits into full wrenched sobs ;_;
