Racing hearts going nowhere

Disclaimer: I don't own Nintendo, if I did, I would've had Bowser and Peach together forever!

Italics in this story will be what they were thinking inside their POV. Bear with the confusion.

This is Mario's POV. With some mixed Bowser and Peach POVs

I just heard that Peach was abducted again. Damn Bowser, can't he take a hint? I was just about to devour a bed of white angel hair pasta with homemade tomato sauce, when I got the message from Toad. A part of me wonders if Peach lets herself get kidnapped. One thing's for sure, she needs better help, those toads are little to no security.

After putting the pasta in the microwave, and having a mental fight with myself about thinking to be 10 minutes late to eat that pasta, I decided to go, though I will admit, I wanted to eat that pasta, I wanted to BAD!

I raced as if Death himself was after me towards Bowser's Castle. While I was running, I couldn't help but analyze my relationship with Peach. I mean, I like her, a lot…she's very attractive, and she's an excellent cook…but she can be a bit bossy….I guess she can if she wants, I've heard royalty does that to you, I mean…look at Bowser..

Peach will always be a friend, but as for a lover, that is unclear…Just thinking about it makes my head hurt as much a Hammer Brother's hammer. Our relationship has always been a bit awkward to me. But I have to be there for her, no way is she going to be with that Koopa.

Bowser's POV

That dream….ever since this morning, it has plagued my mind…she had a dream about how I really truly felt. If Mario wasn't around…I would have my love all to myself, to cater, honor, and love…Mario doesn't deserve her. He doesn't deserve that pretty face, those loving eyes, and SURELY not those kisses! I wonder what those kisses taste like? If they tasted like Peaches, that would be funny! For some reason, I can't help but think of cream or perhaps white chocolate…

She wasn't mad when she woke up. I expected her to be…but no, she was a changed woman…right when I looked into her eyes, it's like I found a new part of her to fall in love with. Everyday, I fall more and more in passion with her. Oh, to hold her willingly! I would feel as if I could do ANYTHING! Like I could even pick up the planet with my own claw! She completes me, and I know that I complete her in some way…I just have to prove it to her…

Peach's POV

Breakfast was quite the eye opener, Bower and I had a very intellectual conversation, about life, and love. I can tell that his feelings for me are genuine, yet I can't help but sense some lust within his heart. Poor tortured Bowser…though, I can't help but laugh wholeheartedly.

Mario will be here soon…I hope the fight won't be too harsh…I can't truly blame Bowser anymore for the kidnappings…I don't know if I want to call it that anymore. I lost my will to fight a long time ago, back when I thought he wanted me for my kingdom…he showed me a different side one night..

Flashback

"Stay away from me, you monster!"

He says nothing, and just comes towards me.

I tried to run to the other room…I barely miss being captured, but I cut my shoulder blade on his spikes….I'll never forget the look on his face when he sees that cut…he looked as if he was going to cry.

"Princess…"

My back is to a corner, and I'm quite surprised by his tone of voice. It's not bellowing like normal…it's gentle, and tender..

He walks towards me, I'm trapped like a mouse…I close my eyes, hoping that he'll disappear.. I feel soft claws on my wound.

I open my eyes..

Tears are falling from his eyes, his claw holding my shoulder, applying pressure…I hear sniffles now and then…not long after, he kisses the wound. Now that I remember that, it's odd that I thought that he didn't have lips…

"I'm sorry…"

I look up at him.

"I didn't mean to hurt you."

I could just stare, not believing what I just heard.

Those words, that kiss…all a first for me. Who is he, and what inner secrets does he hide?

End of Flashback

The sky is clear today, not a cloud in the sky…I happen to look down, and I see a streak of red raising towards this castle…I've been in this castle long enough to know that that's Mario…

Mario's P.O.V.

I know his castle by heart, every hidden corridor, every room…she's always in the same one…He made it look more human for her, complete with flowers, a soft bed, and a bathroom..

"He thinks that he loves her, but he knows no love, only power, control, and lust."

I knock out the guards, dashing and racing towards those great doors.

"Here I come, Peach…here I come…"

Bowser's P.O.V.

I was just informed that Mario was just outside the gate. Honestly, I'm tired of the whole song and dance…Gah, so frustrating…But how can I make it different this time? So far, a few things are…surely this can be one too?

The gate is being pounded, nearly to give way…it's only a matter of time before he breaks it, and only a matter of time before I formulate a plan.
