Luigi's POV:
It was now 12:30pm, half an hour before we told the Mushroom Kingdom that Mario and I are gay. I helped Mario get ready, putting the finishing touches on his outfit. He had on his red plaid shirt on, with navy blue jeans, and a pair of black Converse. They didn't have red at Mickey's, so he went with black. I wore the same thing, except my Converse were a dark green, and my shirt was green as well. We both decided to comb our hair out, since we sometimes like it out, not hidden in our red and green hats. Also because we felt that it was more appropriate.
I was surprised by how full Mario's hair was. It was long and gorgeous, the back of it went down to his shoulders, and the front of it sometimes went over his eyes and face. My hair was like his too, only shorter, to where I wasn't blinded by it.
"Hey Weegee… you are looking real good right about now," Mario complimented.
I blushed. "Thank you. You look real handsome yourself too, Mar," I said.
"Awww, thank you," Mario said. He then checked his watch. "We should head out. We don't want to be late for it."
I was still nervous as hell, but I knew that this was something we had to tell the citizens of the kingdom. "Yeah… let's go," I said.
Mario turned back to me. "Are you still nervous?" he asked.
"Yeah…" I sighed.
Mario came closer to me and gave me a small kiss on the lips. He stared at his me with his sparkling blue eyes. "Feel a little better?"
"Yes. Thank you, Mario…"
"Let's go." Mario softly grabbed my hand and we walked out of the house. We looked around the area to see if we saw anyone we knew, but since our house was practically in the middle of the woods, we didn't see anyone, which I was fine with. He quickly locked the door and we advanced towards the castle.
My heart was still pounding, but it wasn't as bad as before. Mario made me feel a lot more comfortable. I'm just very grateful that he's in my life, not only as my brother, but also as my true love. I turned my head back and saw our little house get smaller and smaller. I turned back and we could see more rays of sunshine peeking through the trees. That meant that we were getting closer to Toad Town and the castle. The sunshine got brighter and brighter and several moments later, we were in Toad Town.
I felt a lot more nervous again, we were getting stared at. I don't know if it was our hair that was getting all the attention, since it is pretty long and out for a change, or the fact that Mario and I were holding hands. Either one could have been a possibility. We continued our way to Peach's Castle, but it was hard for me to walk since everyone was staring at us. Soon we both heard a lot of footsteps. The toads and others were following us to the castle.
Thanks guys, you just made me a nervous wreck.
I'm just happy that Mario is walking right beside me, calming me down as we got closer to the castle. Soon enough, we were there. We saw everyone had gathered around the tall white podium. Princess Peach, Toad, Toadette and Toadsworth were the only ones standing on the podium. I felt more secure that Peach was still there, since she knows about us, but then I started to worry how Toadsworth might react, and obviously the rest of the kingdom.
But Toadsworth was now my problem. He's the kind of toad who overreacts to almost everything he hears. What if he didn't allow us to speak or see the princess ever again? I had a feeling that this was very unlikely, since Peach always reasons with Toadsworth, but at the same time, it's still very possible. I wanted to shake off this negative thought, but I was still paralyzed in fear to do so.
"Weeg?" Mario whispered.
I turned to him. "Yes, Mar?" I asked.
"Are you ready?" Mario looks at me, waiting for my answer.
I had to take a deep breath. I needed to stay calm, this was very important. "Yes. Yes, I am," I replied.
Mario nodded and we climbed the steps onto the podium. We see the princess walk up to the microphone as we sat down at two empty seats near the three toads.
"Um, attention? Attention, everyone," Peach said into the mic. Everyone shut up and looked up at her. "I'm so happy that everyone has gathered here today for what I believe is a history-changing occasion here in the Mushroom Kingdom. Uh, Mario? Luigi? Why don't you two explain what that is, hm?"
Peach started the applause and quickly everyone else was clapping and cheering like crazy. Mario and I got up and walked over to the microphone. I looked down at everyone and I realized how many people live in the Mushroom Kingdom. A lot, and I felt sick. I had that feeling that after we told them that we are gay, they won't be cheering and clapping like they are now. Mario let go of my hand so he could get the mic off the stand. I gulped hard, I wasn't ready at all.
"Um, excuse me everyone?" he started.
Everyone stopped clapping again and looked up at us. "Umm, my brother and I have an important announcement to make… so, just bear with us, okay?" Mario continued. Everyone started mumbling.
Mario turned his head to the princess. I could now tell he was as nervous as I am. "You're doing great, Mario! Keep going!" Peach whisper-shouted at him. I was happy that I wasn't the one talking at the moment.
Mario turned back to the crowd. "Lemme start here, if this'll make sense: Princess Peach and I are no longer a couple," he said softer.
Everyone gasped, as I thought they would. "Mario? Why did you break up with the fair princess? You could've gotten her into a permanent state of shock!" Toadsworth ranted. I'm just looking at the old toad, thinking: does she look upset? Does she look shocked. Oh, that old toad. Sometimes I don't understand him.
"No. I broke up with Peach because I've fallen for someone else… someone closer than Peach to me," Mario answered.
"Who?!" almost everyone yelled.
Mario looked over at me and we both blushed. "I've fallen for my brother," he said calmly. "And... he's fallen for me."
"But I thought he was dating Princess Daisy!" some little boy shouted.
I grabbed the mic from my brother. "Daisy broke my heart, we weren't meant to be. And during the time when I was single, I realized how complicated some girls are and I started noticing who my real true love was, and it happened to be my brother," I explained. "So people of the Mushroom Kingdom, we have hidden it for too long now. We will admit now. Mario and I… we are both gay… and... we love each other."
A gasp spread out throughout the big crowd. No one was saying anything. Mario and I were both becoming very worried and we held hands again, tighter than the last time. Peach came over and grabbed the microphone from my left hand.
"Hey, you guys. You know, this was a lot that Mario and Luigi had to deal with just now, I would be nervous too if I was in their place right now. Don't you agree?" she said informatively.
The sound that was pure silence before started to grow into murmurs, then regular chatting, and shockingly a round of applause. Then they started to chant our names. I was in shock and satisfaction at the same time, and Mario looked like he was as well.
"They're really happy for you two," Peach whispered in our ears. I saw a little playful smirk form on her lips. "You guys don't have to hide it anymore. Go on. Kiss."
I didn't even get a chance to react when Mario grabbed my face and pulled me towards him. And we kissed. He wrapped his arms around me, and I did the same, and I could hear the crowd go wild. This felt like a New Year's kiss, Mario and I standing in the middle of Times Square, while fireworks lit up the sky. It was beautiful, I loved every second of it. We finally let go and stared at each other.
"I love you, Lu-Lu," Mario cooed.
"I love you too, Mar-Mar," I said.
"Can we hear another round of applause for Mario and Luigi?" Peach yelled into the microphone.
The cheering almost got deafening, but I didn't care. I felt so happy, Mario and I are now a couple and the rest of the kingdom had accepted us being together.
"Thank you all for coming out for this wonderful occasion this afternoon, folks! Have a very nice rest of the day!" Peach said, as people started to leave.
"Hey, Peach," Mario said.
The princess turned to us. "Yes, Mario?" she asked.
"We want to thank you for everything you've done for us, because if you hadn't, we wouldn't be together, holding hands right now," Mario sighed happily.
"Oh, it's no problem, you two. I'm just helping my friends," Peach smiled at us.
"Well, we really owe you one, princess. Thank you," Mario said.
"You don't owe me anything. I'm just really happy that you two are finally together, and what more could I ask for?" Peach answered.
I swear, the princess is the most generous person I have ever met. So kind, putting others before herself. Peach turned to Toadsworth.
"Toadsworth… do you have any comments to say?" she asked him.
"Mario, Luigi… I have to congratulate you two for finding your true loves. It's a beautiful thing and I'm not mad about it," Toadsworth said. "Now, I've been hiding it my whole life, I was always scared to say it, but I also… have been secretly gay."
Mario, Peach and I all gasped, while Toad and Toadette just stood there. I wonder if he's told them. After all, they both are also toads.
"Toadsworth, you're gay too?" Peach asked. "Yes, madam. I always thought guys were the match for me. But alas, I never found love, and I probably never will, as I am too old to love," Toadsworth sighed. The old toad soon started to cry. Loudly.
"Oh, Toadsworth… you never know if your true love is surrounding you, and you're not too old to have love. Mario and Luigi are the perfect example, you know, after I influenced one to tell the other. You can always sign up for , as they say in the commercials: your true love may be several clicks away," Peach assured.
Toadsworth's crying soon became soft sniffles. "Thank you, princess. Thank you," he whispered.
"No problem, Toadsworth," Peach smiled. She checked her watch. "Ahh... well, I guess we better start going. Got more princess stuff to do. Bye, guys!"
"Bye, Peach! Thank you for everything!" Mario shouted as him and I & Peach and the toads went our separate ways.
"So what was that dream about, bro?" I ask.
It was almost 10pm, 9 hours since the big announcement. Mario and I were getting ready for bed.
"Huh?" Mario looked at me.
"Remember? At breakfast? You said that you had a dream last night, and you were gonna tell me later, which also happens to be now," I tell him.
Mario then smiled that gorgeous smile at me. "I'll tell you. Get into bed," he said.
I was really curious, so I almost ran into bed and under the covers. Mario laughed and followed me under.
"So, what did you dream about, Mar-Mar?" I wondered.
"I… I dreamt of us… spending the rest of our lives together… not only as brothers, but as broyfriend and broyfriend… and maybe even husband and husband," Mario explained. "I was dreaming of all the adventures we could possibly go on, how I would possibly propose to you, how you would propose to me, if we wanted to get married, and how we would. I dreamt of us, Lu-Lu, standing at the altar, giving the most important kiss of our lives, the first kiss as a married couple. I kept dreaming of how we could spend the rest of our lives, even when we eventually grow old, and I loved it."
I felt like I wanted to cry in joy. "Really? You dreamt of us getting married?" I choked. I felt too happy.
"Yes, Weegee. I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you," Mario confirmed. "I can only imagine my life with you, no one else."
I smiled brightly, and kissed him, which lasted fifteen seconds. "I feel the same way, bro. I love you, and only you," I said.
Mario pulls me closer to him and we kiss again, the kiss lasting twice as long. Closing my eyes made the kiss feel so much better. I loved kissing my brother, he made it feel comfortable and wonderful at the same time. The next thing I knew was him trying to peel off my PJs. He unbuttoned everything and took off my shirt. He climbed over me, blushing, and I immediately started blushing as well. He starts kissing my chest and damn, did it feel good. I could feel myself moan, I was in pleasure. Mario started to take off his own shirt and he rested himself on top of me. He felt nice and warm. I loved how his skin felt on mine. I didn't want him to let go.
"Lu-Lu?" Mario whispered in my ear.
"Yes, Mar-Mar?" I asked.
Mario smiled at me again. It was such a vibrant smile. "Are you ready for the rest of our lives together?" he wondered.
"Yes, yes I am," I reply immediately.
"And I am too," Mario nodded, squeezing my nose. I blush harder, where I thought I was beet red. "Hey… you feeling tired yet?"
"Yeah, I am, but I don't want this night to end yet," I sigh, yawning.
"I know, Weeg, but guess what? We always have tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, and every next day. And you know, every day I'm with you makes things special, because you're special. I love you so much, you are my everything, and I really appreciate you being my brother and my broyfriend," Mario said softly. He got off over me and laid down next to me.
"You're right. Thank you, Mario. Thank you for being a part of my life," I told him. I felt myself yawn again. "Well, good night, bro."
"Good night, Weegee. I love you," Mario says, kissing me one more time for the night.
"I love you too," I answer.
I watched as my brother immediately fell asleep. I guess he was tired as well. Right now, I felt really happy. I was finally with my brother and the kingdom had accepted us for being gay. The past few days had been an adventure on its own, and I felt grateful that Mario was there to support me all the way. I couldn't wait for our life together to begin.
I had a really good feeling that it was gonna be a nice one.
