Prompt- things you said at 1 am

"You won't tell anyone the things I said tonight, will you?"

Luigi rubbed an eye and yawned. His blurred vision wandered over to the clock ticking away on the wall. It was almost daybreak by then. He turned his attention back up to Bowser who had a light yet protective grip on him.

"Ngh. I promise. I can't remember what you told me either..." The Italian let his head fall back into the crook of the king's arm. "Mi dispiace. It was a long night."

A soft whine was heard but from where Luigi was, it sounded like rumbling. He smiled as Bowser spoke. "You'd better be lying. I said that in confidence." The Koopa king's tail flicked uneasily. "Repeat it."

Luigi suppressed another yawn with by widening his smile. "You said how much you liked my kindness. That my quiet attitude was your thing, and that you'd want to spend your time with me instead of kidnapping the Princess..." The Italian gave a chuckle, his eyebrows furrowing. "My fratello would be very angry."

"I know."

"Other than that, I never thought you were so sentimental."

Even in the sheet of darkness over the bedroom, a thick blush could be seen over Bowser's muzzle. He dipped his head to touch his mouth to the little Italian's forehead.

"Yeah, well... Just don't go telling anyone."

Luigi nodded and pressed into the little peck.

"Prometto."
