"I'm sick and done with this."

"It can't be that bad-"

"Oh, what do you know?"

Luigi slightly felt offended at that last remark, but opted to keep his mouth shut rather than press on. Giving Waluigi another look over, he noted the man's slouching position as he gripped a pillow to his chest for comfort, burying his face into the side. His entire body slightly quivered in anger, his grip on the pillow tightened more and more.

"I don't think its fair, firing a man because of his sexual preference. It's not like I'm gonna have sex with all the other men and give them diseases and shit!" Waluigi shouted into the pillow, curling his spine even more as he started to growl and hiss.

Luigi tapped the toes of his shoes together, squeezing the cushion he sat on as he tried to think of something helpful to say. "W-well you can always get a better…job, right?"

Waluigi lifted his head, flushed from where he had it in the pillow, "Why even bother? Everyone in this damn kingdom is a bloody homophobe."

The shorter make sighed in defeat, still watching Waluigi as his arm dropped onto the couch. His long, slender fingers pulled at the seam of the couch cushion, twitching every now and then from his overflow of frustration.

A few moments of silence gave Luigi the idea. He reached over, gently resting his smaller hand atop the other's-his fingers giving a comforting squeeze.

Waluigi's eyes widened, shooting a glare at his hand as he realized what was happening.

"I could help you, you know," Luigi began, "I know of some friends who really need to hire someone."

For a moment, Waluigi appeared as if he were about to cry, sitting up straight with his bottom lip trembling. Luigi noticed his facial expression and dared to try working his fingers in between Waluigi's.

Suddenly, the taller growled and turned away, digging his chin into the pillow, "Like they'll hire me."

"Uh…" Luigi bit his lip, sighing in anger before devising his next move.

He removed his hand, reaching closer to Waluigi, prepared to put up with a small struggle.

"H-hey, what're you doing?!"

"Relax."

"Heck no, I'm not relaxing!"

"Waluigi."

"Stop!"

"No."

"Ugh."

"See, this isn't so bad, is it?"

"…actually it is, kinda."

"Be quiet."

Luigi tightened his arm around Waluigi's shoulders, forcing him to keep his head against his own shoulder. The taller lamely tried twice to get away, but soon merely sat there and allowed Luigi to hold him.

"I'll help you." Luigi whispered, kissing the top of his head and stroking his arm.

Waluigi merely grunted, allowing himself to freely blush since there was no one else that could have seen it.


** Based on this little manga here: : / / www . pixiv member _ illust .php?mode=manga &illust_id= 32676126 (Remove spaces, the manga is in Japanese).

I saw said manga and got inspired to write this little drabble.

So I did.

May not be the exact thing that was going on in the manga, but I just went by what I figured would make sense.

Good day.
