Everyone had completely lost track of time, whenever they checked how late it was the sun had already gone down. "We should get you home soon.." Luigi said to Junior. 

"I think it's too late, I'll just sleep here!" He replied happily. 

"I don't know..."

"Please?" Both Junio and Daisy asked. Wait why was she asking? That didn't really matter though, since before Luigi could actually give an answer Junior had gone over to a couch and made himself comfortable. It wouldn't be that bad if he spent the night Luigi thought, Bowser already knew where his son was so he wouldn't get worried, though Luigi still felt bad about not talking this over with Bowser first. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Bowser finished cleaning up the mess with help from Peach, he got ready to head over to Luigi's to get his kid. Bowser made sure to grab Luigi's hat (which he had taken off when he saw Peach coming) before leaving. He thought over what Peach had told him about earlier that day, it wasn't right for Mario to speak to his brother like that. 

When Bowser got to Luigi's house he knocked, the door was answered by Daisy. "Oh hey." She smiled. "Junior fell asleep, but come on in." She said, moving over so that Bowser could come inside. He didn't know Daisy lived with Luigi, he had honestly assumed Luigi would live with his brother. Makes comin over easier though, since Mario wasn't around. Bowser found Luigi as he finished picking up the last of the games. 

"how is your arm?" Luigi asked once he noticed Bowser. 

"It's feeling a lot better, thank you." He replied. Luigi smiled happily and nodded. "Oh, and you left your hat at my castle." Bowser added, handing the hat back over. Luigi patted his head, not even noticing the missing hat. 

"Thank you." He said with another smile, Bowser smiled a bit back. Behind them, Daisy cleared her thought not being able to help herself.

"So are you here to get Junior? Or just chat with Luigi?" She playfully asked Bowser. He paused, he was here mostly to talk to Luigi admittedly, since Junior would probably be upset with his father for cutting the 'sleepover' short. Understanding this, Daisy excused herself saying she forgot to tend to her plants. 

Once the two were left alone, Bowser decided to apologize to Luigi about the fight with Mario. "It's okay, I'm used to it. Mario does that kind of thing a lot." Luigi shrugged.

Bowser paused. The nonchalant gaze of Luigi showed that he truly was used to such a thing. Bowser couldn't fathom it. " That- That isn't something you should be used to Luigi. It's unfair and unright and unnecessary and unwanted and unneeded." Bowser was pressed. Luigi shrugged again. 

"It really is fine, just like anything else he does." 

"It shouldn't be fine you need someone to treat you well (** like me**) and settle for nothing less"  Bowser voiced.

"I can't change who my brother is, and since I technically work for him it's just easier to let Mario have his way especially with him being the number one. Besides, I'm really not the confrontational type."

Bowsers eyebrows furrowed. He was confused what did Luigi mean by Mario was number one? He couldn't understand how someone he thought so highly of could think so little of himself. "You are not any less than he is, how could he be number one. Even if you doubt yourself you will always be number one to me you've always been the one in the spotlight!" Both of them stared at each other in shock. The words that he said.. there were not anything close to a lie but he didn't expect him to say such things in the heat of the moment. Luigi looked as surprised as him. 

"what do you mean I've always been in the spotlight?" Luigi asked. Bowser stumbled back as he heard his words repeated back to him. His face slightly reddened and he felt the urge to defend himself but he was reminded himself that he was ready for this. He was waiting for a moment just like this to say what he really felt about Luigi.

However, Bowser was in fact not ready for this as the opportunity was just sprung on him by his momentary flash of angry passion. Bowser desperately tried to think of something to say...
