** I apologize for lack of updates, I went on a huge cosplay spree and I spent my days fawning over a picture of a Namine Ritsu outfit. Ever heard of Hellocosplay? Yeah, people say they've got nice clothes/service/shipping. Yeah. So enjoy this if you can, please and thank you. **
"Move, move, move!" People were shoved aside, gaping after a man in a red hat, red shirt, and messy looking overalls running through the crowds of the hospital parking lot.
The security at the doors quickly opened the doors for him, doing their best to keep others out of the way – the man ignoring the shouting coming from behind him.
"M-Mister Mario!" A nurse quickly ran up beside him, "Y-you must –"
"Sign in? Can't it wait? I want to see my brother!" Mario spat at her, approaching the elevator and hurriedly mashing the upwards button in frustration.
Meanwhile, on the floor Luigi was currently on, Peach and Rosalina both rushed out of the elevator they shared, dresses sloppily put on and hair not the best – but who cared? As much as it bothered Toadsworth, who followed the princesses in his own – not as – messy attire while rambling on in how much of a "miracle" this was.
Upon entering the room, the three all looked upon Daisy, hugging Luigi whilst crying as hard as her small body would let her, the man still blinking around in a daze from under the pushed up head bandage at the same time.
"Luigi…oh my goodness…" Rosalina quickly moved and sat at the edge of the hospital bed, "You're awake…"
"R-Rosalina? What're you doing here?" Luigi asked; voice hard to hear over Daisy's sobbing.
"Don't mind that!" Peach approached the other side of him, trying to hug him as best as she could, "You've had the entire kingdom spazzing out ever since you've been admitted!"
This was the point where Mario entered the room, almost knocking over Toadsworth in the process, "Luigi…"
Daisy, finally, leaned back and released Luigi from her hold, acknowledging the presence of everyone else around her – squinting at them all as they properly embraced the Italian with tears flooding their eyes. I was still the first one to see him awake, she thought, hiding her smirk, That at least happened, didn't expect the news to get around so soon.
After everyone had a chance to hug Luigi, they all silenced and looked at him, in case if he had something to say.
Which he did, "W-what's the huge fuss? What happened?" he blinked back, "All I remember is that I was angry…"
"Oh, my statue wasn't the sturdiest material… a part broke and hit you." Peach smiled at him, "We've had it repaired since, even though Mario doesn't think it should be in the main room –"
"Well, maybe if it was outside this wouldn't have happened!" Mario snapped at her, pulling his brother closer to him.
"W-well, I wasn't the one who placed it in the first –" Peach began before Toadsworth gave a loud cough to silence her. "Anyway… you've been out for three months. Some sort of coma thingy."
Luigi blinked back at her, "Okay... um, well, this is, interesting…"
"And I've been in this room everyday since week two!" Daisy piped up, "I've stayed from the hour you could visit to the hour visiting stopped!"
Giving her a surprised look, Luigi muttered to her, "You're crazy, girl, really crazy. But I guess it was worth it, if everyone was really that worried," He looked around the room one last time, "Wow, I've been here for three months? How bland."
Mario shook his head at his brother's comment, "Well, at least they didn't end you. They wanted to after two months, because you were taking up too much of their time, they said," he gave his brother a playful punch, "But you showed them, eh?"
"Yeah," Luigi eyeballed across the room, "And you all just had to wake up and rush in here? You all look kinda messy except for a couple…"
"Well, how could we wait until morning?" Rosalina also looked in the direction Luigi was, nothing but an empty chair and blank wall.
"Agreed, I think it'd be rude if we waiting until we were refreshed and perfect to come see you, as miserable as you are." Peach ran a hand over her make-up free face, wishing she had put on just a little for this moment.
"Okay then… what did I miss while I was out?" Luigi asked, squinting in the same direction.
"You missed everyone flipping tables over how the second most important hero of the kingdom was out of his game, the cancelation of the Mushroom Cup kart race, and the town cook moving to Sarasaland." Mario rattled off.
"Anybody new move in?" Luigi scooted back against the wall, Daisy leaning forward to hold his hand, "Like, an unknown family member we had or something…?
"N-not that I can think of, why?" Mario now noticed his brother staring, trying to figure out what was so scary of an empty chair and table on the other side of the room.
"T-then, who's – who's – who's that man?" Luigi pointed to where he had been staring, everyone else finally turning their heads, "Aren't you going to introduce him?"
"I-introduce, who?" Peach questioned, "We're the only ones in here."
"No, there's a guy over there, do you not see him?"
Daisy cocked her head, "Luigi, there's seriously no one there. Is this one of those side effects?"
"No, I'm serious! There's some guy over there! Do you not bloody see him? He's frightening!" Luigi's arms shook as he tried to scoot backward even more, "Please tell me you see him, I'm being serious!"
Mario tried to hold his brother down while Rosalina got up, "Let me go get a doctor…"
"No! No doctor! Get police! This man shouldn't be here!" Luigi's shouting got louder and louder, horrified by the soft laughs of the man sitting at the table, his limb like arms only grabbing the armrests of the chair as long legs crossed, empty eyes glaring back at him under the dark shadow made by his dark violet hat.
