Under my Shell { a bowserxluigi fanfic }

Chapter 20: Terrorist ?

"Bowser, bowser...." I whisper softly looking over the bed on the floor where he sleeps. He slept on the floor rather than sleeping next to me, only I would kick a king out of their own bed. I crawl across the giant bed until I reach the side with the empty floor. Kicking my legs over the side of the bed and standing up. He must have really been delicate with me. He didn't even take my shoes off before putting me in his bed. Or perhaps he was also very exhausted. I make my way over to the other side stopping when I get to Bowser. I kneel down close to his face before gently shaking him and whispering his name.

"Huh, wha- oh.... Luigi"

"Hello Bowser..." my face turns scarlet thinking about the dream I just had. Good thing it's dark in here for else he'd probably ask me if I was okay. "Thank you for taking care of me, you can have the bed to yourself now. Get some actual rest" I pat his head just as he does mine in the past.

"Of course." He says as he slowly gets onto his feet. I watch as he stretches his arms behind his head opening his mouth for a big yawn. I give him a hug as his arms are up, his yawn was cut short by his surprise. I feel in his chest his arms coming back down and slowly wrapping around me.

"Thank you for everything..." I mutter out softly, I hear him chuckle softly before rubbing my back.

"I'm glad I could help."

"Okay... I'll leave you alone so you can rest in your bed. Sleep well"

"I was sleeping well just knowing you were here keeping me company, the floor felt as comfortable and the bed knowing that you were safe and comfortable." Oh gods bowser don't start that... I cannot fall in love with you, at-least not in this world.

"I'm sure you'll forget all about the floor once you lay down on that cloud you call a bed. Sleep well." He let's go of me and I back up a little. He pats my head once more before laying down. With one last smile I say, "goodnight." Before opening the door and shutting it behind me. Two guards smile at me just outside of the door.

"Lord Luigi." They both whisper in unison nodding at me.

"Hello guards, do you know where my brothers room would be ?"

"Right next me Jr's room my lord. " he says pointing to the left. Juniors door was decorated with art he's done himself.

"Thank you." I nod to them before making my way towards Mario's room. I get closer to Juniors door and notice the art. Is that me...? The newest addition to the wall seems to be a picture of me holding his hand... and bowser holding mine. Junior must want a mother figure so badly. Bowser is a good father but he can only do so much. I place my hand on the door knob turning it before pushing the door open. There he was in bed asleep. I can't help but smile... the same feeling I get watching the frogs. Watching the simple life of a child. I walk over to his bed patting his head gently. His eyes open half way.

"Momma ?" He mutters half asleep. My eyes widen as I feel a soft blush come. I hope he doesn't see me as his mother... I smile at the half sleeping Junior before turning and walking out of the door. Of course he's back to sleeping soundly before I even reach the door. I close it slowly before making my way to Mario's room. I knock softly, quickly Mario opens the door with a cold expression. I'm guess he was expecting it to be a guard maybe, but his eyes lit up once they connected with mine.

"L ! Come in" he says excitedly before shifting his body letting me go past into his room. He closes the door as I sit on his bed and look back over to him.

"I suppose you have some questions." I ask in a curious tone. I watch as he walks over and sits on the bed next to me.

"Do you know who your royal guard is ?" He asks his eyes wide.
