Hi, it's me again! It's been a couple weeks, oops.

Not to fret though, I've brought another story for you all! This is kinda similar to the last one, but now with Luigi and Daisy! I've also written this one in first person in Daisy's point of view as an experiment, so forgive me if it's not the greatest, I just wanted to try something new out. I still think the end result is alright for what it is, and I hope you all will agree with me.

Either way, please enjoy.

It's been about three years since Luigi and I have started dating and it has been the absolute best three years of my life thus far. He's such a kind-hearted, brave and lovable man not just towards me, but to everyone around him. He's like an angel that came from up above to bring love and laughter and joy to everyone who meets him. I never thought I would be able to find someone like him, even though I'm supposed to be a princess and people are supposed to fawn all over me like a celebrity… that never happened to me, and until I met Luigi, I was completely fine with that, because thinking about stuff like that annoyed me to my core back then.

The funny thing is, I don't think I would have ever met Luigi if it wasn't for his older twin brother, Mario… a celebrity in his own right if I'm completely honest.

You see, a few weeks after I took over ruling my kingdom also known as Sarasaland, I was essentially kidnapped by this stupid space alien creep known as Tatanga, who tried to take over my kingdom by hypnotizing all of my citizens and making them do whatever he pleased, while also having the goal to marry me and make me his queen, which was already gross and annoying as is… I had just become princess and this had to be happening to me NOW? Either way, I had gotten kidnapped and I was trapped in a stupid spaceship with the freaking monster creep, unable to fight for myself since he had overpowered me and locked me away in a cage… I'm not sure how exactly the events transpired regarding how Mario was able to reach my location and save me in the first place, but he came and beat the ever-living shit out of that monster Tatanga and ended up saving me, which thank fuck, because I didn't know how much longer I would've had my sanity because of that space creep.

After the rescue and several months after, I had grown a bit of a crush on Mario… I'm not too sure if it was a genuine liking to him, the thought that I had to fall in love with him because of the 'damsel in distress falls in love with their hero' trope, possibly a mixture of both…? Either way, I had a crush on him for a little while, and I felt quite guilty about it, especially after I had found out that he was in a relationship with the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach… who would later become a great friend of mine. It was pretty difficult to hold back those feelings for him, it was the first time I felt something like that, something so warm and cozy inside of my heart, it felt like something I wanted to keep, even though it was so new and foreign to me. I wanted to grab hold of that, I wanted it to be mine even though someone else—my own goddamn friend for that matter—had it for herself.

But boy, did that quickly change once I met Luigi.

It was an early autumn day, the leaves hadn't quite turned red and orange and yellow just yet, but you could tell it was autumn considering how the air felt crisp and cool. Peach had invited me to her castle and wanted to head out on a little shopping trip, saying that she wanted to pick out some new fall clothing that wasn't in her usual color of pink. Shopping wasn't really my thing back then, and it still isn't really, despite the fact that I own a shopping mall (that's a story for another time), but I literally had nothing else better to do that day since it was a weekend holiday in Sarasaland, so I ended up heading out to see her. Once I arrived there about an hour or so later, I headed inside through the castle doors and was greeted by Peach, Mario and a man that looked almost identical to Mario, only his outfit consisted of green and not red. The three of them waved as I came in, Mario and Peach smiling at me while the man in green looked away in the opposite direction.

"Hey, Daisy! I'm so glad you made it!" I hear Peach say in her usual gracious manner.

"Perfect timing, Daisy… I have someone with me here who would like to meet you," Mario tells me, as he and the green man walked over to me.

"Meet… me…?" I whisper softly.

"Mhm! Daisy, this is my twin brother, Luigi… Luigi, this is Princess Daisy, she's the ruler of Sarasaland, about an hour away from here," Mario says, introducing the two of us.

"H-Hi… n-nice to m-meet you, Princess Daisy… m-my name is L-Luigi…" he softly spoke. Awww, he seemed like the shy type, I thought that was cute.

"It's nice to meet you too, Luigi! Let's become great friends, okay?" I say enthusiastically as I reach out one of my hands, hoping that he would reach out for mine with his own.

"Y-Yes… s-sure, P-Princess D-Daisy…" he says, the stutter and nervousness in his voice clear as day… oh. Man, I wanted to give him a hug right then and there, immediately recognizing that his shyness was more like anxiousness and not something I should've called cute. Now I felt bad for thinking like that.

"Blah, don't worry about the silly honorifics, just call me Daisy, I don't mind at all, plus I think it'll be easier for you," I say, quickly toning down the enthusiasm in exchange for assurance… I thought that'd be better for him to try to open up.

And it appeared to me that I made the right call to do so, as he reached out his own hand to grab mine and looked up at me. I wanted to react outwardly right then and there, the way his eyes lit up ever so slightly as he stared into my own… the blue in his eyes was so beautiful, it reminded me of ocean waters, waves coming in so soft and calm, it made my heart feel so warm. I was soon quickly snapped back into reality once I felt him grab my hand and shook it. Even his handshake felt so soft and calm…

"Y-Yeah… D-Daisy… th-thank you… a-and I'd be so h-honored to b-become f-friends with y-you," he whispers in a tone so soft and light that it made me think that he only wanted me to hear it.

It's funny, 'cause I'm not sure what overtook me after he said that at the time, but I pulled him in and gave him a hug… I knew that was what I wanted to do initially to make him feel comfortable but I tried to keep myself under control, I guess that failed completely anyway since my body decided to do so regardless. The best part was not only did he return that hug, but his hug felt warm as well… despite how anxious and timid he was, he had a wonderful hug that could reassure anyone in my opinion… he truly seemed like a great and caring person and I genuinely wanted to become friends with him, not only because I was already friends with Mario and Peach, but also to talk about whatever was on each of our minds.

To me, I already knew that we would become really great and very close friends.

Days and weeks and months went by, and Luigi and I would hang out together pretty often, from simply going to the park to watching a movie that we both liked at the theater… and day by day, I started to understand more and more about him, understand his fears, his role models, his goals in life, and so much more. I also shared that same info with him about my own problems and struggles, especially how difficult it is being the ruler of a kingdom when you don't act anywhere close to how a princess or ruler in general should act. Even though Luigi didn't really understand how those struggles are for me since he's not any kind of royalty, he listened and listened and gave me the best advice he could give… and that meant a lot to me. He slowly started to come out of his shell and I even saw a bit of a confidence boost in him, he looked so happy and he started doing things that he never really did before, and it really made me happy too. His willingness and determination and joy for life, along with how cute and handsome he was, all of it made me start to fall in love with him… it made me start to feel something for him and that feeling was growing FAST.

Fast forward a year and a half or so and it's the start of spring, an unusually warmer start than usual but the new season had to roll out anyway. Luigi and I are as close as two peas in a pod and we'd hang out together every day at this point. Over the past year and a half, he had started to find new hobbies and would let me tag along with him, which I was happy to go with every time. One of his newest hobbies at the time was fishing, and it was like he was a natural at it almost immediately! He'd catch so many fish in a single session that I couldn't keep count of them! It was the exact opposite of how I fished though, I was a disaster holding a fishing rod, and the fish would always take my bait without getting hooked, it felt almost embarrassing how poor my fishing skills were, but Luigi didn't mind at all… he'd always offer me help and he'd never complain doing so. He would always laugh and smile and that made me the happiest too… his smile, his goddamn smile… it was something I looked forward to seeing every day, well… aside from himself, of course. It was something I wanted and needed for the both of us, but I also wanted him to do it just for me too. My feelings for him felt like they were going to boil over, I wanted to confess to him and say how much I loved him… I wanted all of the happiness and kindness he had shared with me for over a year and a half, but I wanted it romantically, and I knew that I had to do it soon.

Then that 'soon' came faster than I was expecting it to, and not in the way I thought it would.

A couple more months passed, and it was the end of June, summer was just beginning but the heat was already packing a punch. It was nearing sunset and Luigi and I were sitting at the lake where we typically went to fish, our feet dipped in the water as we sat on the edge of the little pier, trying any attempt to cool ourselves off. Luigi had caught about ten fish but didn't want to keep any, letting them go after catching them "so they can keep living their lives as beautiful and free fish" … at least, that's what he told me. But I liked that idea for them too, it was definitely something Luigi would say. We were watching the sunset together, it was a pretty spectacular one at that too, shades of pink, red and orange spreading all across the horizon… it was such a beautiful sight, we even took a couple of pictures so we could look back at how beautiful it was. We had such a great day hanging out together and I thought that nothing could make that day any better.

"Wow, this sunset is absolutely marvelous, don't you agree?" Luigi asks me, his eyes sparkling in amazement and awe.

"It really is, sunsets as beautiful as this one are quite a rare occurrence," I say, smiling softly at him.

"You know what else is beautiful out here?" he whispers, a small yet goofy smile forming on his face.

"Hm? What's that, you think?" I wonder, as I was completely oblivious about where this was going.

"You," Luigi answers, his face turning red with blush as he glances directly at me.

"M-Me?! D-Did you r-really just say th-that?" I ask, my face turning redder than the red of his striped socks that sat neatly in his shoes.

"Y-Yeah… you…!" Luigi replies, his goofy smile still spread on his face. Dammit, even his goofy smiles were so goddamn fantastic.

"Luigi, th-that's so sweet and y-yet so unexpected from you, I-I'm not sure what to s-say…!" I stammer in surprise. This was new, I rarely stammer.

"Then don't say anything, because there's something really important that I want to tell you, Daisy," he says, his facial expression changing into a more serious one.

"Huh? Y-You wanted to tell me something?" I whisper in curiosity.

Luigi took a deep breath and nodded, I knew that whatever he had to tell me was really serious and I didn't want to disrespect that.

"I'm gonna be honest and say that I'm a little bit nervous to say what's on my mind, but that isn't important right now…" he starts, looking away from me briefly, turning around while twiddling his fingers. "But I, uhm…"

"Hey, Luigi…? Take your time, okay bud? You know that I'll always listen to whatever's on your mind," I spoke softly as I placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to reassure him.

He turned back around and looked up at me again, a small smile on his face. Man, I love when he smiles.

"Thanks, Daisy… I really appreciate it," he says. "But I should probably try to say what I need to say quickly, or I might get even more nervous, so I'll start and end it by saying…"

The suspense is killing me. I'm not sure what he's going to say but I wanted him to say it, because whatever it was, I would be there for him. I wanted to be there for him, and that's a promise I didn't want to break.

"Daisy, I… I love you."

I freeze up. My jaw drops. I'm in utter shock. I'm not sure what to say… and yet, I feel so happy. He just confessed his love for me. ME! I feel super happy, I feel great, I feel—!

"I know that this silly confession is so out of the blue and it's perfectly okay if you don't feel the same about me, but this has been something that I've wanted to tell you for a really long time, almost as long as we first met, and…" he says, his voice drifting off as he looked away, sighing and appearing to look a bit sad… I didn't like that. I didn't like seeing him sad and I vowed that I was going to change that.

I slapped my hands onto his shoulders in an attempt for him to look at me. His face is still quite red with blush but his eyes locked onto mine in surprise. My face immediately turns red as well… I reacted in such a quick and sudden manner that I didn't even consider how I might've startled him.

"Luigi… you love me? Are you in love with me…?" I softly ask, I wanted to make sure that I heard him correctly.

Luigi simply nods, grabbing both of my hands and carefully placing them on his lap along with his own. He then takes off his green cap and places it aside, revealing the dark brown hair that was hidden beneath it. I never even realized how much hair he had, you could compare it to how a fox tail looks but almost double the size of fluffiness. Goodness, even his hair was amazing.

"Y'know, when we first met, I don't know if you could tell how happy I was when you went out your way to calm me down since I was super nervous about meeting another princess, but you made that day so much easier for me. Because of you and your kindness, I've been able to open up to people a lot more, not just with you, but with my brother and other friends of mine… and over the past year and a half or so, I think almost two years now… I realized I was falling in love with you and that love was growing more and more in my heart each and every day… you don't know how much you truly mean to me Daisy, and I'll completely understand if you don't feel the same way, but I just wanted to let you know… I love you, and I'll always love you, whether it ends up being romantically or platonically," he explains, caressing my hand with his thumb.

"L-Luigi, I-I…" I'm speechless. I'm absolutely speechless. I stare at him deeply, wanting more words to come out of my mouth and they don't… how did I not realize this earlier? I had a bit of a feeling that he was in love with me like how I am for him, but it never really clicked in my mind. I felt a little silly at that moment, but I was also just really happy finally knowing exactly how he felt. It made me so gosh darn happy…!

"Daisy…? Are you okay…? You're tearing up…" Luigi says as he leans in closer to me, his face written with concern. I started to blink rapidly, I didn't even realize I had started crying until he pointed it out, now feeling the soft tears start to roll down my face. Why can't I say anything, why am I even crying at all…? I felt kinda pathetic at that moment, I wasn't the type of woman to really cry that much, even though I wasn't crying hard at all. Luigi reaches his arm out and gently places his hand onto my left cheek, using his thumb to wipe away the tears that fell down my face. His gentle and caring touch is just enough for me to stop crying as I focused my eyes with his own once again, the ocean blue of them calming me down completely.

"Luigi…" I whisper shakily. Dammit Daisy, pull yourself together!

"Daisy, take your time… tell me what you want or need to say, and if nothing feels like coming out, then that's okay too… I hope my confession didn't startle you or made you think differently about me and I'm sorry if it did, I just felt like I needed to—!"

"Luigi." I say in a more confident manner. That's a lot better. "Don't be sorry, you don't need to apologize for anything, I should be the one apologizing because I kinda had a small mind breakdown right there… that was a little embarrassing, haha…"

"You shouldn't apologize either, you're fine," Luigi assures me, his soft smile returning. Jeez, I simply can't get over how much I love his freaking smile.

"I'm really really happy that you told me how you feel, and I'm even more happy knowing that you feel that way for me… because I feel the exact same way about you, Luigi…!" I squeaked with joy as I felt a big and bright and goofy smile forming on my own face.

"Daisy, you… you really mean that?" Luigi asks me, his eyes glowing and sparkling and his face appearing surprised.

"Hehe, of course I do; I'm literally head over heels for you! I love you too, Luigi!" I reply, grasping both of his hands and lowering them back on his lap. "I've been wanting to hear that from you for a very long time, and I also wanted to let you know too, but I was always too afraid to do so… you really made me happy when you told me that you loved me, even though I had a weird reaction to that, haha… but I'm so happy and grateful, you're the best person ever and I get to have you as my boyfriend, and that's awesome!"

Luigi just smiled even brighter as he held my hands and caressed them both with his warm touch, the two of us staring at each other now with love beating in our hearts. My heart felt so warm and happy, I got to have Luigi even closer to me, all of his platonic love now turning into romantic love… for me! It felt like this wonderful day couldn't get even better than it was already right now…!

But I soon immediately got proven wrong.

Luigi stared into my eyes for a few seconds longer as he carefully let go of my hands and placed them softly on my lap. He then placed a hand on my cheek like he did before as he began to pucker his lips and close his eyes. This was happening. This was happening. My heart started to beat faster as he leaned himself forward even closer to me, the distance between our lips shortening more and more, the anticipation of it all feeling like everything was going to erupt… until it finally happened.

Our lips touched. This was real. This was actually real and this was actually happening.

He pulled me closer towards him with his free hand as we shared our first kiss together. His lips were so soft and sweet, his small movements as he held me feeling so natural, as if he was an expert on physical affection. I felt like my heart was going to explode with all of the love and happiness I was currently experiencing and feeling, this was definitely the best day of my life and nothing would ever change that. He got to be mine, and I got to be his, and that was that… we would be there for each other forever.

We stayed in that wonderful kiss for a few more moments until Luigi pulled back from it with a bright smile on his face, his eyes also sparkling brightly in a matter I hadn't seen before, they looked even more gosh darn beautiful than they already were. For the longest time, everything about him made me so happy, his smiles and laughter and presence… and now I get to experience all of that all over again, our hearts were now one, and I couldn't be any happier.

"I, uh… never kissed anyone before and just with you telling me that you felt the same way about me, I lost a bit of control, I couldn't help myself, heh…" he admitted to me, his face reddened up once again.

"That's okay, I think we both kinda lost ourselves at some point during the past hour or something, so I think we're even," I say to him in a light manner.

The two of us shared a laugh together, it felt so lighthearted and comfortable… this was a feeling I was going to enjoy getting used to real quick. This feeling would be ours now.

"Daisy… thank you for being my friend these past two years, and thank you for giving me the honor to call you my girlfriend for now and whatever comes our way," Luigi says in his typical polite and charming tone. Dammit man, this is another part of why I fell in love with you, you always know what to say and how to say it… damn, I love him so much.

"Thank you for being a part of my life as well, Luigi… I'm so glad I met you," I say gleefully, softly holding one of his hands. "I love you."

Luigi simply smiled even brighter at me as he leaned in for another kiss, this time planting it softly on my cheek.

"I love you too, and don't you forget that," he cooed into my ear. This was going to be our life now, and I couldn't wait for the adventure that we were about to take together.

…And that's where we are now, three years later and we're still together, with every day that passes along even better than the last. I couldn't help reminiscing about how we met and how we got together. Those moments were and still are super important and my most joyful moments I've experienced in my entire life… with today also becoming another one of those most precious moments. I stared up at the full moon that graced the sky above from the window of the bedroom that Luigi and I shared in his mansion, the moon glowing bright in the beautiful night sky while also accompanied by millions of stars. I smile as I raise my left hand and glance at the ring that now decorated one of my fingers. Today became another precious moment because as of today, I'm his fiancée… he proposed to me after a fancy dinner date, and of course I said yes! I couldn't help myself with my joy after he popped the question to me. I was squealing and crying tears of joy, I hugged and kissed him so many times that I lost count, I was just so so happy that I'd get to be his wife and forever love in a matter of months. Today was the best day of my life, and I couldn't ask for any more than what I've already got.

"Darling, is the full moon out tonight?" I hear Luigi ask me, as I turn myself around to face him as he walks into our bedroom.

"You dork, of course it's out, you were the one who just proposed to me on a clear night with the full moon out!" I reply, giggling from his little joke.

"I know, I know, I'm just teasing you," Luigi says while laughing, quickly approaching me and grabbing both of my hands. "But I am quite curious… how are you feeling after that, my darling?"

"Ecstatic… simply ecstatic, hun," I answer, my face still flushing red, I've been red in the face like this since the proposal.

"I'm glad to hear that, amore mio… I'm truly glad," Luigi says softly, a bit of his Italian accent and speech slipping out of his tongue.

"You've grown so much as a person since I met you, I'm so proud of you," I whisper as I pull him closer towards me, wanting to feel all of his warmth and comfort.

"And that's because of you, you were the one who helped me grow and become the man I am today, you were the one who was always willing to listen to me and guide me and push me through every obstacle that tried to stop me… I have you to thank for that, my darling, you and your love and kindness are the reason why I'm here with you today, why we got together as a couple, and in the next few months… how we'll be together as husband and wife," Luigi states as he leans in to give me a quick kiss on the lips. "You're special, my sweet sunflower Daisy… never forget that."

"Aww, Luigi…!" I squealed loudly as I felt my heart warm up immediately. I just felt so happy. This is my man. This is the man I'll be able to call my husband soon… the husband that I've already vowed to spend the rest of my life with. I'm so glad I have him.

"It's getting pretty late, let's get into bed, we gotta tell everyone the good news tomorrow, after all," Luigi suggests to me, holding one of my hands again.

I simply nod and we head to bed and under the covers, with Luigi insisting that he carries me over bridal style even though the bed sat not too far from the window. I let him do it anyway, the gleeful look on his face was always enough for me to say yes to him. He carefully tucks me into bed and under the covers and soon follows himself, pulling the rest of the sheets over us so we definitely knew we'd be warm underneath them.

"Luigi… I love you…! I love you so much…!" I squeaked softly, the warm sheets that covered us already making me feel drowsy.

"I love you too, Daisy… sweet dreams, my sunshine," Luigi whispers, giving me one last kiss on the lips.

"Sweet dreams, my brave knight," I said while yawning as the two of us drifted off into a deep sleep.

Sweet dreams, he said… with him around all the time and in my life, my dreams already came true. We had each other, and we would always have each other… and that was the best and sweetest thing I could ever ask for.

Thanks for being the best part of my life, Luigi. I can't wait to write the rest of our story.
