A/N: I debated whether or not to post this as a separate story or not, but ultimately, it's pretty short and plotless. This is a dialogue-only story. I do them sometimes - they're quite relaxing and simple to do!

(On a side note - I am always open to suggestions/requests! I can't guarantee I'll do them, but suggesting prompts gives me more ideas to work off of, so feel free to do so!)

'I don't understand.'

'Huh? ...Don't understand what, sweetie?'

'Why someone like you would ever want to be with someone like me. It just seems so unbelievable, like something that was never meant to happen.'

'Weegee... We've talked about this.'

'I-I know, but-'

'What's causing those feelings to come back? Did Waluigi say something to you? Because if he did, I swear to the Stars that I'll knock his-'

'N-no, it's nothing like that! It's just... I don't know, Daisy. I just keep thinking about how you could find better people to be with than me. People who are stronger, braver, smarter.'

'Are you trying to say you know what's best for me better than I do?'

'Uhm...'

'I sure hope not, Luigi, because I make my OWN decisions, and I decided a long time ago that you're the one I really want to spend my life with.'

'But I-I'm not-'

'Everything you just said about yourself is wrong. You think you're not brave? You literally stormed a haunted hotel armed with nothing but a vacuum cleaner, to save Mario, Peach, and the Toads from a freakin' army of ghosts. Even I wouldn't have been able to do that. If I'd been there, I probably would've gotten captured just like the others and you would've had to heroically save me.'

'No way! I bet you would've taken the Poltergust and wiped out every single ghost in the building all by yourself. And you wouldn't have gotten scared, like me.'

'Luigi, I might be good at a lot of things - but ghosts aren't my speciality. You've fought King Boo so many times and you were completely terrified every time, but you never gave up and ran away. You fought him even though you were scared. That's what real courage is, in my opinion.'

'...I... ah...'

'And the other things you said were all wrong, too. You are smart - in fact you're probably one of the most intelligent people I know! You're so fun and engaging to talk to because you know so much and have so many opinions on everything. Heck, even Mario probably isn't as smart as you are. The guy only thinks about food and Peach.'

'Well... Mario makes up for that in plenty of other ways.'

'And you make up for your flaws in other ways, too. Everyone has flaws, Weegee - nobody in the world is perfect, no matter how much they want to be, or how much other people expect them to be. We're all a little bit messed up, and that's OK.'

'E-even... even you?'

'Especially me, Weegee. C'mon, you know I have all kinds of flaws. I'm stubborn and reckless and I don't think before I open my mouth.'

'But I like all those things about you... Well, I'm not sure if I like the 'reckless' part. Especially since I have to worry about you getting hurt all the time.'

'You see? Everyone has flaws. On that level, we're all as bad as each other.'

'Hmhm...'

'So, d'you wanna stay up a bit later and watch a movie or play a game or something? Cuz I'm not sure either of us will be able to go to sleep straight away, after a conversation like that.'

'Oh... sorry. I should have remembered how late it is...'

'Don't sweat about it. I love staying up with you. The only reason I don't more often is because I don't wanna deprive you of sleep. I know how often you get woken up by dreams.'

'It's getting better.'

'Huh? What was that? I didn't hear you.'

'I said... the dreams... or nightmares, rather... they're better when you're around. Being near you seems to help, somehow. Maybe it's just from knowing that you're here and you'll hold me and talk to me about it afterwards. Or maybe I just don't have nightmares because, when you're here, all the bad stuff just seems to fade away.'

'...Weegee?'

'Y-yes?'

'That has got to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard anyone say, especially about me. Come over here.'

'H-hey!'

'Let's just watch a horrible cheesy romance movie and snuggle together, OK? There's nothing I want more than to spend time with you right now.'

'W-well, I'll never say no to something like that. What should we watch?'

'Hmm, I dunno, what do you feel like seeing?'

'How about... The Mushroom Miracle?'

'The first movie we ever watched together? Are you just trying to make me get emotional? Cuz I'll end up crying on you if we watch that, Luigi - just like I did the first time, remember? When we'd only been together for a week and you got all freaked out because I couldn't pull myself together? I cried on your shoulder for at least ten minutes.'

'I guess I'm just craving nostalgia. Don't worry, I'll hug you when you start bawling your eyes out like a baby again.'

'You're lucky I'm scared of hurting you, or I'd have pushed you off the couch for that.'
