A/N: I wanted to try something different for a change. This here is my first Mario fanfic and I really hope you guys like it. If you do, tell me. Bowser's a babe so I decided to try out the experiment of a character x reader fanfic. I will write more chapters if this does well. Enjoy!

Your [f/c] heels clacked against the marble floors of the burning castle. You were all dressed up in your [f/c] dress and approaching the throne room to see your husband of 6 months. He wasn't just a regular ol' guy. He was a koopa. The King of all Koopas. Yep, you were actually married to King Bowser. You aren't really sure of how this all started, but you could remember your wedding day right off the top of your head.

You remembered walking down the aisle in your stunning white dress and veil, catching the attention of everyone in the room. In front of you was your stepson, Bowser Jr., littering the red carpet underneath you with fire flowers. Once you'd made it to the alter, you were welcomed with the appealing sight of your soon to be husband in his white tuxedo. He gently took your tiny, frail hands into his and the rest is history.

Just the thought of the kiss you two shared to seal the deal was beyond nostalgic. Underneath that tough, scaly exterior was a kind, gentle koopa. What he saw in you, you didn't know. Maybe it was how you were always laughing and were as sweet as a lollipop, but when you were intimidated, you spewed fire in every direction. That was probably another attractive characteristic about you. You were pyrokinetic. You possessed the ability to create and manipulate fire as you pleased. Bowser could blow it, you could create it. The two of you were made for each other.

As you approached the two, tall steel doors to the throne room, you were stopped by two red koopa troopas. They held their hands up to you in an almost frightened manner. You placed your hands onto your hips and tapped your foot impatiently.

"What's the big idea? Let me in." you demanded, wondering why they were blocking your path.

"Sorry, Queen [y/n]!" the one on the left exclaimed. "We've been given orders from King Bowser not to let you in!"

"And why's that?" you questioned, crossing your arms over your chest. This was ridiculous.

"He's kidnapped Princess Peach again and doesn't want you ruining things for him!" the koopa troopa on the right followed up, holding his ground.

A small gasp escaped your lips. You'd completely forgotten about his obsession with conquering the Mushroom Kingdom. Ever since the two of you'd gotten married, he hadn't really gone back to commit another kidnapping. You spent nearly ever hour of the day with him. Perhaps he'd gotten bored and decided to try again. With out thinking, you attempted to pass the guards, only to have your legs grabbed by them.

They'd awoken your pet peeve: being touched without permission. It was one thing if any of your stepchildren touched you or if Bowser wanted to get handsy from time-to-time, but to be touched by a minion was beyond sickening. Your [e/c] eyes lit with flames and your bore your sharp teeth down at the koopas. Your hands glowed with fire and a growl rumbled at the back of your throat. The guards jumped and gave a yelp, releasing your legs and hugging each other tightly.

"How dare you?!"

Bowser eyed his latest prize, wondering just what it took to break her. He paced back and forth in the throne room, each step booming with authority. Peach held onto the bars of her cage and huffed with frustration. She was pretty much fed up with being kidnapped. This could be assumed by the scratches on Bowser's left cheek and how the tips of her gloves had been dotted with blood. She'd actually fought back this time, but it was of no use. The Princess's eyebrows dipped between her eyes and her plump, pink lips were curved into a frown. She wanted to go home.

The large Koopa's booming steps came to a halt and Peach shifted her ocean blue eyes over to her kidnapper. He rubbed his chin with a clawed hand and thought briefly then, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Beefcake~!"

Bowser's jaw dropped as he witnessed Peach's surprised expression. He spun around as quickly as he could and came face-to-face with your adorable smile. You had your hands on your cheeks, excited to see him for the first time today.

"[y/n]?! How'd you get in here?" the King growled out. "Those lazy idiots didn't do as I told them to!"

"Oh, they did!" you grinned. "They just failed at it."

From beyond the doors wobbled two burned koopa troopas, mumbling their apologies to their king. They fell on top of one another, rubbing the black patches on their faces, arms and legs.

"Forgive us, your nastiness!" one of them whined out. "She nearly turned us to ash!"

Bowser only face-palmed, realizing just how stupid they really were. He'd told them ahead of time about how they shouldn't lay a claw on you and that your rage was not to be trifled with. Perhaps they learned their lesson now. You watched Bowser's reaction and gave giggle, before noticing the scratches that were on the side of his face. You grabbed his maw with both of your small hands and tilted his head back to get a better view of them.

"Honey," you began. "You're hurt..."

"That's nothing." the King replied, shooing your hands away from his face.

"Who hurt you?" you asked, your fingers unknowingly crackling.

Peach hid her hands in her lap, attempting to avoid your wrath. Bowser denied that he was in pain and said that he'd gotten hurt while kidnapping the pink princess. You turned your head to the monarch in the cage and gave her a smile. Without a word, you stepped over to the silver cage and reached beyond the bars, grabbing one of Peach's gloved wrists. You held her hand up to the light, your smile suddenly snapping to a murderous glare. The tips of her fingers were dotted red with the blood of your husband of 6 months.

She had to die.

"You… y-you… hurt my…. Beefcake…."

"I was baking a cake when he showed up and..." the Princess began, twiddling her fingers. "It made me very upset."

"You hurt my beefcake!" you shouted, raising a flaming fist.

Before you plunged said flaming fist into Peach's face, a pair of big hands grabbed you from behind and lifted you up into the air. They pulled you away from the cage and set you down. Your face was given a few licks by a rather large tongue and your anger melted away, leaving behind happiness. You turned around and gave Bowser a soft hug, a blush rushing to his face. As much as he somewhat hated this "mushy" love stuff and the quick kisses you stole while in public, you actually weren't that bad to have around.

You never told him what to do unless it was necessary and whenever he wanted to be bad, you wanted to be bad. You were down for anything and everything he wanted to do. Another quality that drew him to you.

"Beefcake-"

"Don't call me that in front of Peach!" the King retaliated, holding his claws up to the sides of his face to hide his embarrassment. "You're going to ruin my reputation! A King needs a good reputation!"

"Don't you mean a bad reputation?" you questioned, tilting your head a bit.

"Well, yeah. I mean, no! Look, what do you want?!"

"I wanted to see you!" you smiled, finding his confusion adorable.

"Not right now! Maybe later!" Bowser grumbled, sneaking a peak over at the blonde Princess. "When Mario shows up, I'll call you back in!"

"Can I fight Mario?" you asked, excited to be able to meet the red plumber who always caused trouble for your Koopa. "I'll finally be able to burn him to a crisp and serve him for dinner!"

A light gasp erupted from the other side of the room. You and Bowser turned your heads to a pale Peach. Her dainty hands were up to her mouth and her blue orbs were wide with disbelief. You sent a smirk her way, the look on her face bringing you joy. She was nothing but a pretty girl in a dress. You'd crush her if you needed to.

"Hey, [y/n]." Bowser piped up and you turned your attention back to him, turning off your murderous gaze. "Get out."

"But I wanna stay!" you whined. "You don't love me, do you?"

"I do!" the King exclaimed, holding the sides of his red face again. "A King can't have his woman ruining his reputation, ya know?!"

"Fine." you sighed in defeat. "I'll leave."

It was then that you leaned over towards the Koopa and tapped your cheek teasingly. His face lit up with shock again.

"Not here!"

"Then I'm not leaving." you huffed, crossing your arms over your chest.

You were also stubborn, another quality of yours that was attractive. Everything was always about getting something in return. If you saved someone's life, they owed you. If you made someone food out of the goodness of your heart, they owed you. If you did anything for anyone, they owed you. If they didn't pay you back, you turned them into a pile of burning ashes.

Bowser stared at you with disdain. After a couple of seconds, he realized that you were indeed serious. He needed you out of the throne room in order to do his business and the only way to get you out was to give you a kiss. Or a lick. Either one worked. Without a second thought, he leaned over towards you and extended his tongue out of his mouth. He licked your cheek and you squealed with delight. You turned around and began to take your leave.

"Bye bye, Beef- uh, King Bowser!" you smirked and left into the halls of the castle.

The King of All Koopas covered his face with a single clawed hand and sighed. If anyone beyond these walls knew about you, his reputation would be shot.

"You two make a cute couple." the pink princess said from her cage and her kidnapper scowled at her, a blush bridged across his face.

"Silence!"
