being a "hero" dad is not as straightforward (bowser x luigi/bowuigi)

you're not good at hiding your feelings, my lord

Bowser continued to write to the princess, and he hadn't contacted the princesses and the brothers in.. forever.. now he was writing to them almost daily, and he was falling... no, no, no! Focus on writing.

Dear Princess Daisy,

I am writing to you to ask for some clarification regarding my children. You said no one new has entered Sarasaland, but I have gained more information. Could you please check again, as there is a high likelihood that one of my sons is there. Thank you.

King Bowser of the koopa kingdom.
_______________________________________

Short, quick, and to the point how it should be.

"Please send this to Princess Daisy."
"Yes, sir."

The koopa troopa scurried off, and Bowser sighed. He hated speaking to the other royals. He hated it in the beginning, and he hated it in the end.. well.. not all of them were bad..

Luigi wasn't that bad.. the kids, even if they didn't admit it, they liked him, he was pretty cute, and he knew how to make Bowser smile. No one had done that since Bee, luigi was sweet, but Bowser was.. conflicted, not like he was with peach, with her he was conflicted on if the alliance it would cause was worth it and if the kids would even like her.. His love wasn't 100% emotional, this.. is... luigi gives him nothing, yet.. he wouldn't mind waking up next to those baby blues.. or hearing that laugh or seeing him in a perfect white dress.. or suit.. or would he wear the dress?? Well.. he did for his marriage to Bee.. that was expensive, and he didn't have a dad bod then.. no, no, he couldn't. That was for Bees' eyes only.. they thought he looked great.. yet didn't he love that dress..

"My king?"
"Kemnek..? What did you need?"
"Nothing, sir."
"I've told you when we are alone you don't have to hold up that hole, 'my lord' 'sir' act"
"Right.. Bowser, I just wanted to ask you something."
"Of course, what is it, Kemnek?"
"Are you thinking about them?"
"Why would you think that?"
"You have that face, the sad, memorable face,"

Bowser went quiet. He was thinking of them.. His Bee..  how funny of a nickname for a koopa, Bee..

"What did you tell him? luigi, I mean"
"Tell him about what?"
"Donkey Kong!"

Kenmek rolled his eyes sarcastically, or atleast thats what bowser thought he did under those glasses, Bowser sighed

"You mean Bee."
"Of course i mean bee."
"I told him how we met.."
"And?
"And how they died.."
".."
"Okay, not 100% how they died.."
"What did you tell him?"
"That they died as a result of child birth"
"You can't keep this from him."
"Why would he have to know! It's not his business!"
"You're in love with him, that's why."
"What -"
"It's clear, most of the castle knows."

Bowsers' faces felt hot. He did know he had some feelings toward him, but.. he didn't know he was that obvious..
