Guess what you're getting? More angst <3

[Luigi's POV]

In the morning, I got woken up by a very loud bang against my door. Right.. they can't unlock it from the other side. I rolled off my bed and hid behind it.

The door broke down, and I saw Bowser entering the room. My heart sunk to my feet when I saw his angered face. "WHERE ARE YOU!?"

His loud voice made me yelp out of shock. He stomped over to the side of the bed where I was. I wanted to hide underneath my bed, but I couldn't move.

Well, I couldn't move besides shaking. I shut my eyes tightly and looked down. He picked me up with one hand as usual. His grip was tighter than normal.

It felt like he was about to do something but got stopped. I could hear by the walk that it was Junior. I opened my eyes and tried to look at him.

All I could see was Bowser's angered face. He the hand I was in while he was saying something. Why couldn't I hear him?..

I could tell by his expression that he was trying not to yell at Junior. All I could hear though was the sound of my quick breath. I moved my head towards Junior, who was now leaving again.

My body was still feeling weak from when he threw me against the wall. I turned my head back to Bowser, who was yelling something at me.

His expression got angrier and angrier. He looked over at the desk, and so did I. He isn't gonna do what I think he is.. right?...

He started walking towards the desk. I shut my eyes tightly so I wouldn't see it. He was about to hit me against that desk.. but he stopped.

He just put me down in the chair, tied me up, and left. While in the chair, I was still shaking. It took a while for me to finally calm down.

[Bowser's POV]

Why couldn't I do it!? Why couldn't I just punish him for what he tried!? Why couldn't I punish him for ignoring me!? He must be doing this on purpose! Playing with my mind like this!

After taking my anger out on Mario, I went back to Luigi's room. I looked at the broken door and picked all the pieces up. Once I threw them away, I asked Kamek to put another door there. (In the same spot as it was before.)

They did as I asked and gave me the key to the door. I unlocked it and thanked Kamek. Luigi was still tied up on the chair, maybe I should just leave him like that.

He seemed much calmer than when I was holding him. I still want answers on why he didn't respond. Maybe if I talk to him privately, it would make him so scared he'd have to answer.

I took the ropes off him, picked him up, and took him to my room as always. This time, I tied him to his chair there. Just as I sat down, I saw how shaky he was again.

Pfft, so scared while I haven't even said anything yet. "So, why didn't you respond a single thing when I was screaming at you?"

He seemed nervous to respond, "I- I didn't mean... I didn't mean to ignore you.."

I raised my eyebrow, what did he mean by that? "You didn't mean to ignore me? Well, then why did you?"

"I... I couldn't.. hear anything.." - L

What? How is that even possible? He's not deaf, that's for sure. Maybe he's lying! Oh, I swear.. if he's trying to lie to me!

Without realizing it, my nails were digging into the desk. "Don't you fucking lie to me!"

He shook even quicker than before, "I-I'm not lying! I promise!" It seemed like he was about to cry.

"Then the fuck you mean you couldn't hear anything!? I know damn well you're not deaf!" - B

"I-I don't... I don't know what it was. I don't know what was happening at all.." - L

His scared face made it seem pretty genuine, maybe he wasn't lying. Hmm.. but I still haven't properly punished him.

Considering how terrified he is of me, what if I force him to stay in my room? I would be able to watch everything he tries and he would also be scared. Win-win.

I cut the ropes with my nail, almost cutting his back. Lucky for him, it was just a small scratch. Though it did make him yelp again, why does he keep making those weird noises?

Does he know that they made me think of him? He's doing it on purpose. If he wasn't, he'd be doing it a lot for someone who isn't doing it on purpose.

He was still shaking in his chair, I just locked the door and went to lie down in my bed. Mhm.. my comfy bed... it still feels like it's missing something though.

[Luigi's POV] (The thing he's missing's POV)

Why didn't he take me back to my room? Strange... very strange. He just laid back down in his bed, maybe he forgot I was here? No, that can't be it.

After minutes of thinking, my body was finally calm again. Would I have to lay next to him? I would do anything to prevent that from happening again.

Though... I did sleep well that night. Hmm, he wouldn't mind it if I laid down next to him, right?

I quietly got up from the chair and went over to his bed. He seemed to be asleep, so I laid down on the edge of the bed. It was rather cold, so I scooted closer to him.

Mhm.. his breath was as warm as before, if not warmer. I got even closer to him, and before I knew it, I was laying in his arms again.

He pulled me close to himself. I closed my eyes, but couldn't fall asleep quickly. My heart was beating too fast. Though... I did feel safe.

Feeling safe in his arms feels weird. But... weird in a good way. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

(The end of Chapter 17)

Yeah.. sorry that this one took long. Even though I have a vacation, I still get distracted a LOT. I thought it was because of school, but it ain't. </3

Hope you guys enjoyed chapter 17! :D I would make Chapter 18 soon, but I've been tired since 9 pm (it's 12:20 am rn) so I'll sleep first. Hope you guys can understand! <3
