The Little Jar // Bowuigi

Don't Give In

[This chapter has mentions of eating disorders! Reader discretion.]

Kamek stood on the other side of the door, he heard everything, so it was true, Luigi was making Bowser weak? Bowser was the strongest, harshest, selfish, ignorant king he knew, and as the Koopa that practically raised him, he knows that this is nothing like Bowser, I mean to beg for forgiveness? The old Bowser wouldn't beg he would force the forgiveness out, if he would even want any! He usually wouldn't even care what another person would have to say, he wouldn't even care if he had upset them, but this time was different, he listened to the worry in his voice, he watched Bowser retreat from hurting Luigi, the look on his face... he was for once doing something kind for another person, it was absurd! Kamek didn't want Bowser to change, he feared if Bowser was to change he would lose his touch, and everything they had ever worked for, the reason they built their entire army up, would be useless! They had a plan to rule the world and Kamek did not want this little human man in the way of what Bowser has spent years working towards. Not only that but Bowser had an army to train, what if Peach tried a counter attack? It's unlikely, since knowing the Princess she is probably happier that they're gone but still! He had so much work to do! He couldn't be following Luigi around like a schoolgirl with a crush! He refused to let this happen. Any chance Kamek gets he will get in Luigi's head, convince him Bowser is no good for him and try to push him further and further away. He refused to let Bowser be in love with such a softie. It appeared both Bowser and Luigi had another who didn't approve of their relationship... Although Bowser has no idea Kamek disapproves and even if he did know he wouldn't care what he has to say! Unlike Luigi who cares a great deal what his brother thinks and fears for his life that he may upset him. Why did their relationship have to be so complicated?

Kamek decided he would leave the snooping for now, he got all he needed, he left the door to go back to his quarters, they were finally home after what felt like so long! He may as well get comfortable again.

Bowser walked over to his bed and picked up the tray of food, he walked back over and sat beside Luigi, he placed the dish on the coffee table and pushed it closer to Luigi's side, he was worried about him, he noticed how slim he looked in his cheeks, was he starving himself? Why did he react so abruptly when he asked Luigi to eat back at the mushroom kingdom? If Luigi is struggling mentally Bowser wouldn't allow it, he will do everything and anything he can to get his love to eat.

"Eat, you need it, it's been a long day." Bowser spoke calmly as he lifted the lid off the tray.

Luigi started down at the food, his stomach was tied in knots, just the smell made him feel ill, it wasn't that it smelt bad but he had become accustomed to hating the smell of most foods as it reminded him of his eating habits, he just couldn't bear it. He pushed it away and shook his head.

"No." Luigi spoke bluntly.

"You have to eat, look at you, you have hardly any meat on you..." Bowser frowned.

Luigi didn't answer, he stayed silent.

"Luigi... please?" Bowser scooted closer to him.

Luigi grunted and turned away from Bowser.

"If Mario can't get me to eat what makes you think you can-" Luigi snapped.

Bowser raised his brows then his look drooped to sadness.

"You... don't eat at home either?" Bowser questioned.

"I- I do! I... do... heh, forget what I said... I'm tired, that's all, let me sleep." Luigi muttered under his breath.

Bowser shook his head, he didn't believe that for a second.

"Luigi... do... you have an eating disorder...?"
