(WARNING: This chapter has angst, but is also important to the story and the characters relationships. So if you don't like angst then please dont get too invested- there's gonna be a ton of it.)
Luigi sat in his 'room'.
He couldn't stop thinking about the maid dress situation from earlier. He was embarrassed of what happened.
But something about Bowser's reaction made him question..
Why.. did he react like that?.. he didn't seem mad.. He didnt seem to want to humiliate me..
He shook it off and hoped the next time they'd talk, it would be less awkward.
Bowser paced back and forth in his room.
Am I really in love with him?...
He questioned himself..
Everytime they'd talk his heart would thump faster than it had the day before.
A terrifying thought crossed his mind.
If im in love with him.. and he doesnt know.. he could fall in love with someone else! which would mean I'd loose him..
His eyes widened.
Just like I did with peach...
he'd sigh sadly.
Maybe if I- marry him I'll have him forever! and- I wont be lonely!
He didnt even think about it too much. He didnt want to be lonely anymore..
Luigi would write in his journal, he had dreamed of becoming a writer. So he practiced by writing in his journal so one day, he could publish his life story into a book.
The thought of it made him so happy.
Though in order to do so he'd have to make progress.
A knock could be heard on the door, interrupting Luigi's thoughts.
Luigi opened the door.
"Oh! Bowser.. What brings you here?.."
He chuckled nervously.
Hoping he wouldn't mention their last encounter.
"Luigi we need to talk."
Luigi let him inside.
He didnt have a good feeling about this..
"Luigi. Junior needs another parent, will you marry me?"
Luigi froze.
What?..
"You want me to.. marry you?.."
"Well yes, Ive gained feelings for you-"
"Bowser.. I-.. Im sorry but I cant.."
Bowser would fume with anger.
"WHAT?!"
Luigi would step backwards, startled.
"Bowser, I cant just marry you.. I barely know you enough!"
Bowser would growl.
"You can get to know me when we're married.. THEN I CAN FINALLY BE HAPPY-"
"HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IF I'D BE HAPPY? ABOUT MY FEELINGS?!"
Luigi would cry out.
Tears in his eyes.
Bowser hit the wall with anger.
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DIFFERENT. THAT MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T REJECT ME LIKE THAT- UGH!"
"Maybe she wouldnt reject you if you didn't be so cruel to everyone! including me!.."
"WELL HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THE REASON I HAVE BEEN SO CRUEL IS BECAUSE IM SCARED TO BE ALONE?!"
He snapped.
He realized what he was doing and sighed.
"I'm.. sorry.. I dont know how to deal with people.. everyone always sees me.. as the bad guy.. Even though I dont mean to be.."
Luigi put his hand on bowsers.
"Bowser.. I know now you mean well.. But if you try to force others to love you.. you wont heal.. Let others slowly find trust in you."
Bowser's eyes widened.
He pushed his hand away.
"Why are you being nice. Im a bad guy. Im your brothers arch nemesis for Pete's sake!"
"Because your not a bad guy, your just seen as one and believed it. Everyone deserves another chance."
This made bowsers heart ache, no one had ever said those words to him.
Bowser felt tears well up in his eyes.
"I'm sorry... for yelling at you.. trying to force you to marry me.."
He said, genuinely ashamed, he looked down at the floor
"It's alright, you just got to control your anger, if someone rejects you, dont take it personally.. And I'm sorry too."
"What are you sorry for?! You did nothing wrong!.."
"Well.. I was quick to judge you.. Especially at the very beginning when we first met, I barely knew you enough to have a good opinion. So im sorry.. Can we start over as.. friends?"
He lended his hand out for him to shake.
"I've never had a friend before.."
"Well that changes now."
Luigi gave a reassuring smile.
Bowser smiled slightly too.
They shook hands.
"Well- I should be getting some sleep, you should too."
Bowser stood up and nodded.
"Sorry.. about earlier."
"Again, its all water under the bridge."
Bowser smiled, and walked out the room.
Luigi sighed tiredly, glad that was over, but also glad he finally understood his true feelings.
And so did bowser.
Luigi got into his Pajamas and slept.
"Mario, its no use, we cant find bowsers ship.. Everyone is tired and needs rest."
Peach told mario.
Mario would sigh.
"Fine, I'll search alone.."
"Mario, you need rest too, you cant go alone!"
"And who says I cant?"
"Mario, its dangerous out there, ESPECIALLY alone! If something happened to you I couldn't forgive myself! Please stay.."
Peach had tears in her eyes, pleading mario.
"Im sorry peach.. But I couldnt forgive myself if something happened to my brother.."
He said, he then left the camp, peach watched him leave the camp. .
Tears in her eyes.
"Stubborn man.. why wont you listen?!"
She cried her eyes out.
(This chapter was so sad .. Welp, bowser and Luigi have healed their relationship, and turned it into a friendship. Their chances of being lovers are slowly building up! So please be patient as they build their sweet relationship )
