Under cover love

Bowser's Castle

Mama Mia...

"Security's tight.. We'll have to sneak in a windo-" I start, but Mario cuts me off, typical

"Security is strict. We'll go in through a window" he said

"but.. that was my idea.." I say, a little disheartened that he completely cut me off and stole what I was saying for the credit.. Mean. 

We end up going into the nearest window. Mario picks up Princess Peach bridal style, as usual. Then.. they just ditch me high and dry.. I sigh and tense up as I hear footsteps.. 

Mama Mia..!

Bowser walked in. I couldn't help, but tremble a little. This man was tall.. Intimidating.. I've never actually seen Bowser before, as silly as it sounds.. I've only been told stories about him from Mario. That he's a hostile, ruthless lizard man, with dry, ugly scales, matted maroon hair, and teeth and claws that could

But.. what I saw was the exact opposite.. Beautiful maroon hair, pearly white teeth, well kept nails.. smooth, soft-looking skin and some scales, but they look smooth instead of dry and rough.. He looked like a well respected man. Honestly, he looked quite nice, if I don't say so myself. 

"Hey, Peach, are you hungry? I'm making pasta for dinner" Bowser said, I LOVE PASTA. 

I nod quickly, almost knocking the wig off but I manage to stabilize it. 

"Oh! I'd just LOVE some pasta! Thank you very much!" I say, I don't even care if it's poisoned, pasta is pasta! 

Bowser seemed to be taken aback.. As if I had already failed the mission. Mama Mia! If I messed up already.. No, no, no! I'm so dead

Bowser just smiled, "Glad you finally warmed up to me Peach" He kissed my forehead.. I froze up and turned a deep, bright red

"M-Mama Mia..."  I whisper, completely flustered. I wasn't expecting that.. 

Then he left the room, going to make the pasta he had mentioned previously, I can't wait until the pasta is done! 

I start to bounce a little at the thought of pasta, my skirt going up a little. When I noticed I turned red once again and straightened it out. I leave the room and go exploring the manor since I've never been there before. It was so large and it was a maze! I immediately get lost. 

I wander aimlessly around the mansion-castle- Whatever this place is!! I ended up bumping into someone, I try to apologize, but they were quick to shut me up. 

"I am SO So-" I start

"What's a little girl doing here. All alone. Without your precious Bowser?" They hissed, I backed up, bumping into some old armour and knocking it over. They looked like I had just stabbed their mother in front of them.. they were so upset. Did that piece of junk mean something? 

"HOW DARE YOU KNOCK THAT OVER!? THAT IS THE ARMOUR OF OUR ANCESTORS, YOU UNGRATEFUL, SPOILED BRAT!!" They yelled at me. I know I shouldn't let emotions get the better of me, but their words hurt.. maybe I am that sensitive.. 

I get up and try to run away. How does anyone run in a dress!? I don't know, but I can't. It was.. difficult.. to say the least. I was so blinded by the tears that welled in my eyes by the other's words, I bumped into someone. I fell down and hurt my wrist a little, just a small sprain, probably. 

I look up to who I had bumped into.. It was Bowser! And I had gotten Pasta all over his shirt.. Mama Mia..

"I AM SO SORRY" I say as I get up, "IREALLYDIDN'TMEANTO,YOUSEE-" that's when he cut me off. In a soft, gentle voice he told me;

"Shh, shh.. It's okay, I'll just go change my shirt, there's plenty more food where that came from, I'll just dish you up another plate" he smiled softly. 

"That.. was for me..?" I ask, wiping away the stray tears that had fallen. He nodded and helped me up off the floor, then he bandaged my sprain. I still don't see how people call him heartless.. He just needed a little love in his life! And I am determined to be the one who gives it.. to.. him.. what am I thinking!? I am only here until next week's ceremony. Nothing more. I have to get my head on straight and look at the end goal. 

"Feeling alright?" He asked me. I nod softly

"Thank you.." I look down, slightly embarrassed. He kissed my wrist softly 

"Now let's get you some food in you, shall we?" Bowser said, leading the way to the kitchen. I sat down and as soon as that plate was in front of my face I started eating. IT WAS THE BEST PASTA I'VE EVER EATEN 

"Oh- oh my.." I murmur as I eat the pasta, practically shoveling it into my mouth. I am shocked that he hasn't noticed the mustache yet, maybe he has bad vision..? I doubt it, maybe he just doesn't care? No.. that can't be it either.. Maybe Peach has put on fake mustaches to try and sneak away? That must be it! Definitely.. makes perfect sense.. Totally.. 

"Is it good?" Bowser asked. I could only nod as I started to eat as much as I could, who knows when the next time I'll eat if I'm caught.. May as well make the most of it! 

"Good" Bowser said, seeming content for now. He started to eat with me. Once I was finished being an absolute pig, as my brother calls it, I pick up my dishes and go to the sink. I may not have any dignity, but I do have manners, so I start to clean my dishes when I hear a confused voice behind me 

"What are you doing?.." Bowser asked, starting to get up. Didn't Peach clean up after herself? Well, never mind, she is a Princess after all, she has maids to clean up for her, she doesn't need to clean up after herself.. But I'm not her and my mama raised me better! 

"Just.. cleaning my dishes?" I say, sounding a little confused due to the questions running through my head. I think I'm starting to get a headache

"You don't have to, I'll do it myself, it's fine I promise" he reassured me. 

"It's really no problem, I can do it myself, I wasn't raised in a barn I was raised in Brooklyn, New York!" I say before shutting up, realizing my mistake.. What if Peach had already told him where she was raised and it was different!? Mama mia..

Bowser only chuckled "I know you weren't, you're way to pretty for that" he says in a low.. deep.. voice as I turn red. Was.. Was he flirting with me!? Why!? 

Apparently he's found my reaction amusing because I felt a hand on my lower back and a presence behind me, it was obviously him because I heard his.. highly attractive.. chuckle behind me as his hand started to wrap itself around my stomach. He was being oddly considerate; not going too high or low, so he didn't keep the padding on my chest to replicate breasts or.. anything below the belt.. 

What have I gotten myself into..?
