Bowser's POV

Today was the day we would finally test out the airship. I spent the last two weeks overseeing its progress. It seemed to be coming along pretty well. If we got it to fly, Luigi would be able to stay here and visit his friends anytime.

Part of me couldn't believe that he agreed on staying here. Heck, I could hardly believe he kissed me last night.

Knowing he felt the same way I did made me feel at ease inside. To think all this time I was chasing after Peach just to fall in love with Mario's brother. I was just so drawn to Luigi.

He was the sweetest guy I ever met. He's the first person who reached out to me and actually made an effort to understand me. He talks so fondly of me and makes me feel good about myself.

I never thought I'd find a human who didn't fear me for my outer appearance, but then I met him. I felt comfortable being me around him. I never felt judged whenever I hung out with him

He was my friend and he made me feel loved. I never had a connection like this with anyone. I just hope things could stay like this.

Though It was only a matter of time until Mario would comes back for his brother. I know he wouldn't be okay with just letting his brother stay here.

What if I lost him? I can hardly bear the thought of him leaving my side to never return. This place wouldn't be the same without him.

I would hardly have a relationship with my son if it weren't for him. I don't think Junior would take Luigi leaving that well either. To Junior, he was practically part of the family.

Sure, Luigi could try explaining that to Mario that we were friends now but what are the odds that he'd believe that? Heck, if someone told me that I'd end up falling in love with Luigi a month ago, I would think they were crazy.

Maybe Luigi would be able to come up with something. My head perked up at the sound of a knock on my door. I got up from my bed and opened the door to one of my henchmen.

"Your presence is requested outside, sir. We believe the airship is adequate enough to test fly." He saluted.

"You got the parachutes, right?" I asked.

"Yes. Everything is set. We're just waiting on you sir."

"Very well. Could you make sure to get Luigi on your way back? I'm not sure if he knows where we're setting up."

"I'll get him from his room." He nodded before leaving.

I shut my room door before grabbing my comb off the dresser. I stood in front of my mirror staring at my red hair.

I began combing my hair to the side to make it look neater than its regular spiked up look it usually has.

I found myself just staring at my reflection in the mirror. I never thought highly of my outer appearance. I used to not think of it much since I was so busy.

But now that I have more free time, I found myself looking more often than I should and I always found something to nit pick.

Whether it was the spikes on my tail. My sharp claws. The spikes on my shell. Or my sharp fangs. This would normally be the part where I picked another part of my body to pick apart.

However, today was different. I found myself smiling at my reflection. The words Luigi spoke to me yesterday were sticking to me and it made me feel good about myself.

He thought I was handsome. He said I had nice eyes. He clearly sees something that I don't. Maybe it sounded silly but, I guess it made me feel happy hearing a guy talk about how handsome he found me. His words were enough to comfort my negative thoughts. After getting my hair to stay in place, I smiled at my reflection one last time before leaving my room.
