(A/N) holy heck. There are a lot of you. Thank you, I guess? Wow. Holy heck! Wow.

(Bowser) He liked me back? He loved me? He told me he loved me? What was I supposed to do? Tell him he was one of the best mistakes I ever made? That would be stupid!

"Ha, good one!" I said.

"I wasn't joking."

That wasn't the answer I wanted. I wanted him to laugh right back and tell me that he didn't love me cause that would be normal! No man could love me, that would be ridiculous! I wasn't attractive, I was a dad!

"You mean you really love me?"

He nodded. "You're pretty cute."

This wasn't good. He couldn't like me. Daisy put him up to this! How could she do this? Causing me such mental anguish!

He grabbed my face. "You're even cuter when you're confused. Don't worry, it's not a dream!" He gave me a peck on the nose.

That was not how I wanted that day to go. I mean, I did want it to go like that, but I didn't want it to, if you know what I mean. Like, wanting to be scared in a horror movie, but also being terrified. I liked him in a romantic way and wanted him to kiss me, but I also was scared of him. He just seemed so cool, and I was just a king. Come to think of it, it's stupid that I admired him. But that's what love does to you! It takes you and tells that this person is the best person ever in the history of the world. Forget about your accomplishments, this person is the real deal, even if he is a stupid plumber.

My face was hot. I couldn't say anything. Luigi tried to get off of my lap but I wouldn't let him go. I held him close to me.

"Are you alright?" He squeaked.

"You are amazing. I love you."

"O-okay! You're kinda crushing my ribcage right now, but okay!"

I let go of him instantly. He was so small and delicate. "I'm so sorry."

"It's alright, I think. Just as long as I don't die!" He said while starting to walk away. He was sweating. "I'm going to go watch the kids!"

Dang it, Bowser! You scared him away. I mean, you were right. He could never love you. He was using you! But yet I still loved him. Ugh! Love was stupid and gross and for girls! Girls got this stuff. They knew how to romance boys. Wait, I had been hearing rumors around the kingdom that Princess Daisy was sneaking around here. She could give me relationship advice! I just had to catch her. But how?

Well, I could catch her in the act. Increase security so that she has to get caught. Add extra guard around Luigi's room. Maybe add extra guard around the kids' rooms. Just more guard all around. Maybe I should just--

"Bowser boy! We're going home!" Luigi screamed.

"Oh my, has it gotten that late already?"

"Bowser, it's raining."

I was so deep in thought that it had started raining, hard. By the time we got back to the castle, we were all drenched. You know what is really hard? Having to dry off 8 kids. At least I had someone to help.

Day had turned to night by the time all the kids were dried off. After that fiasco, I had almost forgotten about Daisy. But I didn't and I increased security. I put the children to bed and it was time to say goodnight to Luigi.

I knocked on his door. "Luigi, are you in there?"

"Uh, give me a second!" He said. I heard the window shut. He opened the door. "Hey Bowser boy!"

"Did you have the window open during a night like this?"

"It sometimes feels good to have the rain fall on your face."

"Anyway, I wanted to say goodnight to you."

"Really? How sweet!" He paused. "Do you want to come in?"

"Oh no, I have work tonight."

"It seems wrong for a married couple to sleep in different rooms."

"You know that we're not really married!"

"Really?"

"The work is really important and I can only do it tonight."

"Ah. I see." He said. "Well, goodnight!"

"Goodnight." He closed his door. Just then a Goomba ran up to me.

"Sire, Daisy has been caught sneaking around with Birdo!"

"Really? Birdo is an accomplice?"

"Yes, they were caught outside of your husband's room. It seems as if they were either going in or coming out."

"Ugh, I just have to talk to Daisy. Birdo, just make sure they don't escape."

"If you're trying to extort info from me, I'll let you know that I am very defiant."

We were in a small interrogation room. Daisy was in handcuffs. I said, "Well, I'm not trying to extort information about the Mushroom Kingdom."

"Oh really?" She leaned back in her chair. "Then why did you bring me here?"

"I want to ask you about love!" I said. "Like, how to romance your special somebody!"

She cringed. "Oh, is that right? Well, have you ever thought that they might," She looked for the right words. "Swing for the other team?"

I had never thought that Luigi might be straight! I guess his flamboyant nature made me think that he must be gay. That wasn't good. I could be trying to seduce a straight man!

"Uh, well, um, what do you do for the person if they swing for the team you're on?"

"Well, one, did you kidnap this person? If you did, you should let them go. Did you ever heat that frase? If you love it, let it go? And if it loves you it'll come back?"

"I guess."

"Two, if they come back, buy them nice flowers. I hear there are some nice flower shops round these parts."

"Okay. Th-thank you for the advice, Daisy."

I guess that was the ultimate test. Let him go, and see if he comes back. But what if he didn't? That was the problem.
