QBH: Another chapter done. I feel bad about the slow updates, At lot has happened.
Luigi: You have been using that excuse for months. I get that the world is still locked up but you are not paying enough to your story at this point.
QBH: I admit this isn't my priority anymore. I was so busy writing with enthusiam but that was back in college.
Luigi: That was nearly a decade ago. You have plenty of time to at least reach halfway of the plot.
QBH: I can't spoil out where are we on the story and deep down I want to finish. Even if I apologize now, I assure you readers that it will finish.
Luigi: Considering you are still working on this story, I am surprised you haven't given up on this.
QBH: Like I said before, I am too stubborn to quit this. I really want to have some sort of closure for this. Anyway, I present you guys this chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 85: Getting Ready for Bed
Back to Luigi, he quickly took a shower and got ready for bed. Dressed in his pajamas, he quickly lied down in his bed staring at his ceiling having mixed feeling in his latest foray with Zelda again.
"Is Zelda really like that deep down? I mean why would she be upfront with lewd suggestions? I thought she was so calm, composed and gentle." Luigi admitting
"Then again …." Luigi after reminiscing the drunk episode and the numerous times whether intentionally or not she would slip a teasing remark
"No! Get those thoughts out of your head. You are the gentleman here. You should never take advantage of any woman." Luigi
Ironic that he did slept with someone else when she confessed. Luigi feels absolutely lost in this dilemma instead of the ongoing tournament.
Meanwhile, after talking her time from her long bath, Zelda is able to get dressed for bed and routinely entered Luigi's bedroom
"A nice long bath soothes any day." Zelda as she entered the bedroom
Luigi surprised by her entrance but lying down in his bed just replied
"Isn't it impolite to just walk into someone's bedroom?" Luigi
"Oops. My apologies. I thought you are okay with me sleeping over in the same bedroom." Zelda
"There is already a guest bedroom though." Luigi
"True, but this is a sleepover. I am okay with us having a sleepover." Zelda
Luigi sighed but relented
"Well … its fine. Though tomorrow I need to train for my match." Luigi
"I understand. Do you want me or Sheik to be your sparing partner?" Zelda
"Actually, I am not sure. Why do you ask?" Luigi
"Because you maybe well rounded but are you ready with both close quarters combat to dealing with long ranged ones?" Zelda
"You have a point. We will plan that tomorrow. Thanks." Luigi
Luigi did over course sat up as he thanked her only to blush afterwards.
"Uh … Zelda. Can I comment you about something?" Luigi
"About what exactly?" Zelda
Luigi couldn't help staring at Zelda dressed in a pink babydoll
"About … uhm… your PJs?" Luigi nervously
Zelda realizing what Luigi said sheepishly replied
"Ah. I did try to put on other pajamas that are in Peach's closet but they felt too loose." Zelda
"I am having seconds thoughts about both Peach's choice of clothing and you having to actually move in part-time." Luigi
Zelda just smiled sweetly as she sat next to Luigi on the bed.
"I am sorry. I guess my body isn't like Peach's at all." Zelda as she blushingly admits
"While it is true you are kind of … flat for a young girl." Luigi
"Are you saying I am flat!" Zelda pouting directly at his face
"No! No! No! You still have a slender figure, Zelda. You are still very cute." Luigi closing his eyes while panicking
Zelda noticing his reaction and still peeved did what she thought was payback. She pulled Luigi close and shoved his head towards her chest and yelled.
"This is for calling me flat!" Zelda
Luigi still with his eyes closed, starting to panic even more.
"(This isn't helping at all, Zelda!)" Luigi mentally screaming
Luigi hoped that Zelda would get over being upset quickly but the whole situation only ended after Zelda let go about 2 minutes later. Luigi awkwardly turned away from Zelda and faceplanted in his pillow hiding his disbelief on what happened.
After calming down, Zelda lies besides Luigi and whispered in his ear
"I am truly sorry. I went overboard back there. I'll go back to the guest bedroom, if to make up for it." Zelda
Luigi turned over so he can speak out
"No, it's fine. Let us never bring this act again as long you are not comfortable with it." Luigi
"Right … ehehe." Zelda as she turned away from Luigi hiding her embarrassment
After trekking past a few stages, Link and Samus finally arrived at Link's home stage.
"Finally, that was sure a long walk." Link
"Still, your castle is always amazing and beautiful." Samus
"Does it ever fulfill your inner princess fantasies?" Link
"I never actually had such fantasies. Remember that my backstory is a little complicated." Samus
"Sorry for even asking." Link
"Its fine. It is nice that you can stay at such a luxurious place like this Castle." Samus
"Well, we still need to get settled in for the night." Link as he now leads them inside
Back at Luigi's bedroom, silence descended in the room for a moment that is until Luigi spoke up
"Do you really want to move in here?" Luigi lying left on side facing away from Zelda
"Why not? You all by yourself in this big empty mansion. … Well, the ghost doesn't count." Zelda likewise lying and facing the opposite direction
"Wouldn't that leave Link behind in the big empty castle temple?" Luigi
"Link already has multiple incarnations of himself as company. Besides I doubt he needs me anyway." Zelda
"I don't know. The castle may need a bit of a feminine touch and isn't it supposed to be your castle?" Luigi
"Just because I originated there doesn't mean I own that place." Zelda
"Still for you being a princess to take up residence in this creepy, dusty and scary looking mansion, I have my doubts." Luigi
"I am not a shallow princess. Looks aren't everything for me. Though despite the foreboding atmosphere, I never find this place scary. This is still your home." Zelda
"That's why I don't want you to move in here." Luigi
"I am not deterred by your excuses. I will be taking semi residence whether you like it or not." Zelda
Luigi didn't say a word as he quickly drifts to sleep. Hearing his snore, Zelda also quietly drifts to sleep.
Meanwhile back at Hyrule Temple, Link and Samus are getting ready for bed. Link still trying to be a gentleman, led Samus to Zelda's bedroom to which Samus retorted
"How come you have such a big castle and yet you are showing me Zelda's bedroom?" Samus
"I just thought that it would be easy for you to be in a female's bedroom. I mean we haven't had anyone stay the night at the guest room." Link
"I'll forgive you this time, since that room had a lot of dust in it. You have to get that clean before I decide to stay the night here again." Samus
"That reminds me, are you able to be okay with using Zelda's clothes?" Link
"And what do you mean by that? I am sure I can fit in one of many Zelda's spare clothes." Samus
"I could say it but I expect to get beaten up by both of you." Link eyeing Samus' figure up and down
"Are you saying my body is too big to fit?" Samus slightly peeved
"No. I mean you don't like your figure showing up at all. You were upset went you fought without the armor for the first time, remember?" Link
Samus reacted with surprised at first but started to laugh
"Really? Is that your reason? I mean sure, out of all the girls here I am the oldest looking but I thought you have already accepted me even I have such a sexy body." Samus
Link blushed at the way Samus wrapped her arm around him like it is no big deal
"Then are you okay sleeping in the same room?" Link
"Is that even a question for your girlfriend?" Samus
"I thought you are still not ready to be intimate with me?" Link
"Not out in public and not with people who don't know we are already dating." Samus
"Really? I never expected you would be upfront about this. Then again we trust our closest friends to accept this relationship." Link
"Speaking of our closest friends, can you tell me how many times Peach asked you out for a date?" Samus
"To be honest, I lost count. Peach has always been taking me over dates ever since Melee." Link
"Really that bubbly airhead needs to stop asking you out." Samus
"So, you were jealous of her asking me out so openly." Link
"Hey, you could have at least said no to her." Samus
"I tried at first. That 'bubbly airhead' is a persistent flirt. She can be strong enough underneath that demeanor of hers." Link
"I just hope she would now stop asking you out. Otherwise, I am not holding back just to prove my point." Samus
"I hope you don't become too possessive about this…" Link
Samus understood Link's concern and smiled gently
"Of course, sweetie. I'll see you in a bit." Samus as she headed over to Zelda's room to change
Link just smiled that he can trust Samus enough and go to his bedroom to get ready for bed.
Meanwhile, Captain Falcon led Peach near her home stage and stopped.
"Well, Captain Falcon thinks we can split from here." Captain Falcon
"How come? There is still a bit of distance before Peach's Castle." Castle
"You do realize that it is late into the night and 'YOU' haven't told Mario where were you been. He could be worried sick about you." Captain Falcon
"Alright, you do have a point." Peach
"Good. I don't want to deal with a jealous Mario." Captain Falcon
Captain Falcon gave his standard salute and dashed off
Peach watched for a bit and then started walking back home to her home stage
As soon as Peach enter her front door, the door opened followed by a greeting
"Peach, next time just let me know when you decide to hit the city life." Mario
"I am sorry, sweetie. I just went to the movies with some friends." Peach
"Okay, that's fair. I know I shouldn't be too worried but you know how often things can get out of hand around here." Mario
"Is it because of that "incident' back in Melee?" Peach
"Not really since they haven't even made another attempt with the same plan as the "incident". Although I am surprised you were able to battle those two and still able to hold off long enough." Mario
"Despite the two being you know very strong hitters, they aren't coordinated. You should have seen how often they keep hitting each other instead of me." Peach
"That's reassuring. I am already exhausted just keeping up with all this." Mario
"Come on sweetie. Its time to go to bed anyway." Peach
Peach gave a reassuring smile as she patted Mario in appreciation as they head to their bedrooms.
Meanwhile back at Hyrule Temple, Link was just about to finish getting dressed for bed, when he heard a knock on the door.
"Are you ready for bed? Darling." Samus
Link was surprised by the quick knock but replied
"Just a moment." Link
Link quickly answered the door and let Samus in.
"I never get tired of how spacious your room is." Samus as she sat in the bed
"That's coming from someone who lives in the vast cool outer space." Link
"It may look cool but is still empty. It kind of gets lonely at times." Samus
Link sat beside her and hugged her
"I am sorry if you put it that way." Link
"Its fine, sweetie. I am starting to feel sleepy. Can I get a kiss before we get some sleep?" Samus
Link didn't hesitate to give a quick one kiss then went with snuggling with each other as they fall asleep.
Meanwhile back at Luigi's Mansion, while it would seem that everyone is fast asleep, someone is struggling to even do that.
Luigi couldn't shake the ominous problems that aren't resolved ever since he tried spilled his secret to his most trusted brothers.
"I thought by explaining the whole 'incident' to them, it would ease my troubles … though its for the best for those two to should get involved anyway." Luigi thought to himself
As Luigi couldn't shake that uneasiness, he can feel a slight movement and murmur of Zelda snuggling closer to him.
Luigi could only curl up knowing that a lot can happen between them and if despite how close they are now. He wonders if it will be the same back to normal once the truth of the 'incident' is rather lifted out about Zelda's curse.
QBH: I never thought that writing, would have taken so much time than playing.
Luigi: Speaking of which, haven't you been playing anything recently?
QBH: I have been but its no longer consistent. I have now to manage myself day to day stuff.
Zelda: That's no different than what you were doing when you first started writing.
QBH: I would have agreed with you but since I am 30, at lot of responsibilities have taken over my time.
Luigi: But you still love to play games?
QBH: Absolutely, its my hobby. I haven't have any other way with what I like to do. See you guys soon for the next one!
