M-M-M-Mario!" Luigi stammered he could feel his heart breaking at the sight in front of him his brother always brave and reckless in the face of danger never showing any signs of weakness ( At least not in front of his little brother) Mario was curled up into a ball on the floor his whole body shaking as he was no doubt crying.
M-M-M-Mario!" Luigi said again much quieter at his brothers voice Mario's head up so fast that Luigi was sure it gave his big brother whiplash.
Lu? Mario said as he continued to cry this is a trick and I want it to stop your dead and I just want it to stop I....
Mario this isn't a trick I'm here I'm right here Luigi cut his older brother off pulling him into a hug and you have to wake up
But just then Nikki, Lindsey, and Ginny surrounded him under their hats he buried his face in one of his hands as the hats spiraled around him

The floor beneath his feet changed as now instead of being in a room he was in a circle with no doors and no walls Luigi looked down and into the dark abyss one drop meant certain death. His broken body from the fall had healed it was like that moment never happened but he knew Mario would never forgive himself for letting his brother fall
The triplet ghost magician's started to get closer to Luigi he jumped up avoiding being hit by Nikki, Lindsey, and Ginny causing them to hit each other giving Luigi enough time to grab Nikki's hair slamming her against the ground sucking her up with his Poltergust G-00
Only Lindsey, and Ginny remained and a bomb in the place where Nikki was the blast as Nikki threw the bomb sent Mario flying he barely managed to grab onto the side of the floating platform
Lu! Mario screamed causing Luigi to look around wildly before he slid towards the edge grabbing Mario's hands
Mario looked at his brother teary eyed Lu my hands slipping I told you you were always braver than me Mario smiled
Don't you dare let go Mario
Mario listen to me you have wake up none of this is happening you just need to wake up
Luigi said just as Mario's hands slipped from his little brother's iron like grip.
Mario woke screaming as he frantically looked around the room eyes darting wildly around the four corners of his room seeing his brother halfway off and halfway on the bed but before Mario could grab him Luigi fell off the bed entirely hitting the floor
Mario definitely heard the snap of bone
"Son of a nutcracker!" Luigi swore before swearing profusely in Italian.
Luigi was aware of someone's hand on the back of his head, lightly playing with his hair.
Lu ? Mario screamed trying to blink away the light as he threw of his covers scrambling over to his brother who Mario could tell was about to cry
I told you you were always braver than me Mario smiled proudly as he pulled Luigi into a hug lying his brother's head in his lap.
Your the brave one Mario your brave and reckless in the face of danger while I'm cowardly I just want to be like my hero I just want to be like you Mario laughed before he said and I want to be like my hero..... I just want to be like you....
Luigi scoffed
It's true Lu Mario rushed too add
Luigi scoffed again his big brothers words going over his head
Why would you want to be me? Why would you want to be a cowered? Why would you want to be considered NOTHING LUIGI asked
Why would you want to be considered AN EMBARRASSMENT
Why would you want to be considered a DISAPPOINTMENT
Why would you want to be considered a COWARD
Why would you want to be considered A LAZY LITTLE BUG!
Why would you want to be considered WORTHLESS
Why would you want to be LOVELESS
Why would you want to be considered garbage? Something nobody ever wanted and nobody ever loved
I love you Lu
But Luigi didn't hear as he continued to rant. Why would you want me to be your hero? Why..... This time it was Mario's turn to scoff cutting his younger twin brother off your not any of that you deserve love especially mine
I want to be like my hero..... I just want to be like you.... because your not afraid to tell me when you're scared
Your not afraid to tell me when you're panicking
Your not afraid to tell me when you're being bullied
Your not afraid to tell me when you're having a bad day
Your not afraid to tell me when you're you feel like crying.
Your not afraid to let me in.
You've saved me more times than I can count without you even knowing it your braver than you know your braver than you think
I'm the one who's too afraid to tell you when I'm scared
I'm the one who's too afraid to tell you when I'm panicking
I'm the one who's to afraid to tell me when you're being bullied
I'm the one who's too afraid to tell you when I'm having a bad day
I'm the one who's too afraid to tell you when I you feel like crying.
I'm the one who's too afraid to let you in. Your enough for me Luigi it's always been you and me against the world and that's how I like it .
You'll let me in eventually right? Luigi sniffled I promise Lu Mario whispered
Luigi's voice was quite as he asked If I go to sleep do you promise me you'll be right here Luigi yawned. His grip loosened as sleep claimed him
I promise Lu Mario whispered running his hand through his brothers hair
Like always Mario drifted off to sleep to the soft snores of his little brother. As promised Mario was there holding him tightly in his arms when Luigi woke the next morning.
Luigi tried to move but a sharp pain shot through his now broken leg tears fell onto his brother's head waking him
Oh Lu let me see that leg
I'm fine Luigi lied you're not fine Mario snapped Mario could tell black was beginning to form in his brothers eyes
Gently Mario grabbed Luigi's leg it's definitely broken Mario said
Doctor Trotter put Luigi's leg into a hard plastered blue cast which Mario signed
Angry that his plans failed Kamek felt the need to hit something he shouldn't have doubted the green clad plumber Kamek had pushed him to the sidelines thinking he wouldn't have been much of a problem
Kamek found the man cowardly to scared to be much of a problem but he was wrong Kamek knew everything between the super Mario Brothers was very far from over.
