The Couple We've All Been Waiting For

Chapter 4: Planning

Daisy was the first to awake surprisingly since she was kept up for nearly three hours. As she stretched out her arms and let out a yawn, she hopped out of bed, making her way downstairs. She was still in her yellow silk nightgown, hair a little messy and bags under her eyes. But at this point, she didn't care.

"Ooo coffee!" Daisy headed straight for the coffee machine she saw just finishing a brew. The Toad servants were cooking up the works. A mixture of aromas filled her nose, making her stomach grumble. She grabbed herself a plate, piling it with all she could find.

Not long after Daisy woke, Luigi was up too, hopping out of bed and making his way to the bathroom for his morning routine. After using the facilities, showering and trimming his mustache, Luigi made his way down stairs still in his light and dark green striped boxers, a towel around his neck.

Tossing the towel into the hamper in the downstairs laundry room, he strolled into the kitchen, jumping a little at seeing Daisy.

Mama. . .Mia.

She wore a silk yellow nightgown, thin straps, and it fell just about mid-thigh. Not wearing a bra, she was bent over the kitchen bar, sipping her coffee. Luigi felt his lip twitch and his palms sweat. Taking a gulp, he walked in further.

"Daisy. I didn't expect to see you up this early!"

She spun around, startled by his voice.

"Oh Luigi, my goodness you scared me."

He gave her an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's no problem at all." She said with a smile.

Luigi froze when he realized what he was wearing.

Oh boy, he's only in his boxers!

"Oh Daisy how silly of me! I—I'm sorry, I'm not used to having guests in the house overnight. Let me go grab a shirt and pajama pants. . ."

Daisy stepped forward, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"No no no it's alright, this is your home, you have every right to be. .comfortable."

This man will be the very death of me. I mean really, look at his chest! Who knew Luigi was that fit.

Smiling hesitantly, Luigi sat down on the kitchen stool next to Daisy's, grabbing a cup of coffee of his own.

"So are Mario and Peach awake yet? I'm usually the last one to get up."

Groaning due to the memories of last night filling her head, she started to rub her temples.

"After last night, I really don't think they will be up anytime soon."

Luigi gave her a confused glance, until he thought about it for a moment, his face twisting in disgust and pretending to gag as he realized what she was getting at.

"And you were. .next to their room. Oh Daisy I am so sorry!" Luigi started to chuckle, then began laughing more and more until he could barely control his laughter.

"What is so funny about that Luigi Mario?!" She put her hands on her hips, looking down at him as he was practically on the floor from laughing so hard.

Calming himself down and wiping a tear from his eye, he got back up.

"Oh Daisy, I- I'm sorry, it was just the look on your face and I can totally picture what you went through. .trust me."

She smiled at him, shaking her head to get rid of those lingering sounds in her head.

"Let's just not talk about it for now."
