Months have passed since I've been here. It's been probably about six months. I've grown very fond of the children here. Bowser Jr and I are sitting in the den talking. I watch him happily paint on his canvas with a huge smile, each stroke with more excitement.

"Ah Finished!" He exclaimed as he sat hai brush down onto the table next to it and he revealed a messy, Child-like drawing of myself, "I painted you!!" He smiled big and handed it to me happily

"B.J. that's incredible, I'll be sure to hang it on my wall kiddo," I smiled and ruffled his hair as he gave me a big hug.

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" He smiled and ran away giggling and skipping happily as he rushed out of the room to carry on with his day.

I had sat there in the room alone as I heard the children playing in the background. Today was a great day. I looked down at the painting Junior had made of me and grinned happily.

Ludwig jumped in the room and looked at me with a mischievous glare. He giggled and walked towards me.

"So I hear you have a thing for Papa," He slyly chuckles

My face turned red and I looked at him in shock, I was lost for words until Bowser entered the room behind him. He was wearing nothing but bright red jogging pants that were pretty loose, and made of extra soft material.

"Oh leave him alone," He chuckled and sat down next to me. His smile was big and his eyes creased with it, "I can handle I myself, Now go play." Bowser demanded playfully.

Ludwig nodded and ran into the other room with the others, Leaving me and Bowser.

"What's that?" he pointed to the painting of myself.

"Something B.J. did for me," I shook my head and blushed a bit, "He did a portrait of me." I smiled a bit and looked at it more

"Seems he has taken a liking to you." Bowser grinned as he ruffled my hair, "He usually doesn't like people, But I guess he has a soft spot for you, Be grateful." Bowser put his arm behind me, And rested it on my shoulder, He chuckled as he turned the TV on.

We sat in silence for a moment, And I watched the TV happily. My mind raced of thoughts of Bowser. Ever since Ludwig asked if I had feelings for Bowser, Bowser has now flooded my head. Just those red eyes and that smile, Catches me every time, the way his hair lies perfectly on his head, and that damn smile. Never fails on a bad day that makes me feel better. Bowser poked my shoulder and chuckles quietly, and he smiles at me.

"Get out of your head," He gently sighed and smiled more, "Whatcha thinking about?", he pet my head gently and I nuzzled into them softly

"I'm just thinking really, Nothing specific," I sort of looked down at the floor, "It's been just a little bit of a rough week in this little area." I point to my temples with both hands

Bowser looked at me and sighed, "Yeah, I understand that feeling sometimes, But it's better to not be in there 24/7." He smiled a bit, "Whatever's on your mind you can tell me, Friend", He patted my shoulder gently and lifted my head up.

I smiled at him and paused, I wasn't expecting him to be this soft and tender, Due to his demeanor most of the time. I looked into his eyes and my cheeks got warm quick, His face inches from mine.

I chuckle and hug him. He gasps in surprise but returns the favour.

"Well alright you big softie," I chuckle and rest my head under his and I let go of the hug as he does.

Something about that hug felt right, In my gut I just knew that it was official that I had feelings for him. I didn't understand how or why, But all I knew is that I liked him.. a lot.
