Blossoming Blood Roses

Mellifluous

~ Luigi's POV ~

I look at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing my very best pair of jeans and a green sweater. It isn't that cold out, I'm sure. But I find a lot of comfort when wearing sweaters. Backing out of my room, I close my bedroom door. I'm not sure if Mario's home. I slowly walk down the stairs and peer into the living room. It's still clean, so I guess he isn't home. Or maybe he's in his room? I don't know. I grab my keys and, as quietly as I can, open the door and walk out.

"Here we-a go." I mumble to myself. I start to walk towards the town's cafe. He said he wanted to meet there, so that's where I'm heading. Hopefully no one I know recognizes me. Except him, of course. I arrive at the cafe and see Bowser sitting at a table; waiting for me. I walk over and sit down across from him. "Hi." Is all I can manage to say. He's so handsome. Bowser looks at me and his face lights up.

"Ah, you made it!" He says joyfully "I was starting to think you wouldn't show up." He chuckles, and I can't help but smile.

"You and-a I both-a know I was-a going to show up." I look at him, smiling "I wouldn't-a miss this for the-a world." Bowser smiles back.

~ SMG4's POV ~

I turned my head over when I heard Bowser talking to a...very...familiar voice. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped as I saw Luigi and Bowser, sitting across from each other, smiling. SMG3 noticed my reaction, and looked over as well.

"Luigi!" I shouted out, as SMG3 shouted "Bowser?!" Our eyes were wide, but not as wide as the green hat wearing man's was. Luigi looks on in fear, while Bowser is glaring angrily at SMG3. Their red eyes met each other, and i have to quickly snap SMG3 out of it before he lunges and causes a scene...

~ Luigi's POV ~
I turn my head in surprise from the shouts of familiar voices. It's SMG3 and 4! Mama mia! Bowser notices them too, and his face changes to one of anger when he sees SMG3. "SMG3?!" He shouts.

"O-Oh, SMG4! I-I didn't-a know you'd-a be here.. It's-a not what it-a looks like..!!"

"Whenever someone says 'it's not what it looks like' that immediately makes me suspicious..." SMG4 said with narrowed eyes.

I panic. I quickly grab Bowser's hand and try to get him to run away with me. He understands and we both sprint out of the cafe. After a few minutes, we stopped at an alleyway to rest.

"Damn... What happened back there?.." Bowser asks, breathing heavily. I stare at him.

"I-a... don't-a really know.. " And it's the truth. I have no idea what just happened. I sink down to the ground, holding my face in my hands. "What'll happen if they-a tell Mario? He'll-a be so-a mad at-a me.." I start muttering out of sorrow and fear.

~ SMG4's POV ~

I watched after them, clearly suspicious of them.
"OI! GET BACK HERE IDIOTS!!" SMG3 tried to rush after them, but I grabbed him, and held him back by the arm. I put my hand over his mouth.

"Shut up. You're making people give us weird looks." I told him, turning him so that he was facing me. I removed my hand from his mouth, and stared into his red eyes. It took me everything not to lean forward into him- wait...where'd that thought come from. I immediately let him go with a grumble, and sat back down. I brought out my phone, and began to text Mario about the incident. He immediately texted back, asking where his green brother was, and I texted him "Idk, somewhere nearby? How tf am i supposed to know?"

I was about to text him again, until Mario teleported over to me, and stared for a few seconds.

"Where-a is he?" I shrugged in response, and he closed his eyes for a few seconds, trying to locate him. He then teleported away, much to SMG3's confusion.
