The Couple We've All Been Waiting For

Chapter 8: An Unexpected Visitor

Luigi was peacefully awoken by the light chirping of the blue birds that sat in the tree by his bedroom window. The first light of the morning sunrise started to peek through his green curtains, creeping its way across the bedroom floor. He started to sit himself up, but he found it more difficult than usual, chuckling to himself when he realized it was due to the beautiful brunette nuzzled by his shoulder, his arm draped along her side and his hand resting on the small of her back.

He smiled to himself, dancing the tips of his fingers along the dimples on her lower back.

I must be in heaven because I never would've expected to have been woken up to this beautiful sight...

Ever so slightly, Luigi carefully pulled his arm out from under her. Daisy stirred just a little, but the deep, slow breathing indicated that she wasn't close to waking up from something like that. He smiled again, thinking about last night as he searched for his boxers that had been thrown somewhere onto the bedroom floor.

Slipping them on, he tossed on the first pair of pajama pants he could find and tiptoed to the door, slipping his way out without a sound. As he made his way down the staircase he could hear Mario and Peach conversing in the kitchen.

"I'm not sure, love." Mario's faint voice could be heard saying. "Did you look by the pool?"

"I told you already I looked there and I went to her bedroom and she wasn't there!"

Peach turned her head as Luigi entered the room.

"Oh! Luigi! Perfect. I was trying to find Daisy because we had to talk about some plans we were making for the weekend. Do you know where she is?"

Luigi stopped right in his tracks. He gulped. Peach was a little...traditional when it came to relationships. As long as her and Mario had been together before they married, she saved herself for him and that day. Sure they shared a few kisses and maybe some "similar" to what Luigi had experienced last night, but he had a feeling Peach would ring his neck if she knew what Luigi did with her best friend. She was very protective of Daisy.

"Little brother what the heck is wrong with you?"

"I...she.."

Peach raised an eyebrow as him as she sipped her coffee. As she placed the mug on the counter, she stood up and walked up to Luigi.

"Where is she? Is she okay?" Peach asked

"Yeah! Oh yes yes she um...she went to the Mushroom square."

Peaches eyes lit up. "Oh! What a great idea. I think I'll go meet her there!" Peach hurried out of the kitchen.

"Don't wait up Mario!" She exclaimed as she hurried up the staircase.

Luigi breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He wasn't quite ready to be so open with Peach about what had happened last night.

Now I have to figure out how I can get Daisy to town square without Peach noticing...

He turned to make his way to the fridge for breakfast, but his eyes were met with his brothers. His look was mischievous, and Luigi started to feel a little uneasy.

"You know you're a terrible liar, right?"

Luigi raised his eyebrows this time. "What are you talking about?"

"You and Daisy slept together didn't you? She's in your room right now I bet."

Luigi tried to put on a face for his brother, but that stare was burning right into Luigis conscience. No matter how hard he would try sometimes, he was never good at hiding things from his brother.
