Fuck Royalty (WaluigixOC)

Secrets

They eventually made it to the house she was renting. It was a cute little home, perfect for one or two people, but no more than that. She invited him in as she walked to her room to grab her phone. The house was fairly undecorated, considering she had just moved in, but it was nice. He made his way to her bedroom as well and looked around. She had light blue bed covers and paint on the wall, he figured it was her favorite color. There was the occasional hair brush or perfume here and there, but no messes of makeup or product anywhere. Her room was fairly clean. He looked at her walls and noticed a plethora of acrylic paintings, most likely painted by her. "So you're an artist?" He asked, looking around.

"Haha no, I just like to paint in my free time," she said. She'd love to do it as a job but being a princess was demanding, she didn't have the time for it usually.

"Well it's really good," Waluigi inspected one of his favorites so far. He never usually gave out compliments, but he couldn't help but admire the artwork. The paintings conveyed strong emotions, and were adorned with pleasing colors. Some were dreamy and peaceful, while others were forlorn and depressing.

"Thank you," she smiled giddily. She hadn't given many the opportunity to see her art, so the feedback was rare. She was glad to know he enjoyed it. She grabbed her phone and walked out, calling for him to follow. Before he left the room he noticed a dive knife sheathed in a thigh strap on her desk. Usually you would wear that kind of thing if you were diving and needed to cut lines, but she never mentioned diving. Before she had the chance to yell for him again he walked out the door and followed her. "You alright?" She asked, she could tell something was on his mind.

"Wah? Uh no I'm fine, just not concentrating haha," he nervously scratched the back of his head before returning to his laid back self. "Come on let's go before Peach has a fit," he huffed before walking over to his bike. Aria felt as if he was lying, but shook it off. Once again she gladly wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head. Waluigi couldn't help but continue to wonder as to why she had weapons in her room, just laying around like that. They made it over to Peach's castle and were met with the group of people Waluigi hated. He was reluctant to hand her over, but never showed it.

"Well thank you for taking your time Waluigi," Peach said sarcastically. Daisy crossed her arms and glared at Waluigi.

"Ah don't get your panties in a twist Peachy, she's here and alive ain't she?" He retorted. This only caused Daisy to growl at his rude response but he didn't care. As much as he used to like Daisy, he couldn't stand her. Day by day she became more pissy and spiteful towards him. Aria hopped off the bike and waved to the princesses and their counterparts. They gave her a small wave and smile back before returning their attention to the purple plumber.

"Thanks for the rides, and for last night," Aria waved to Waluigi. She was referring to him lending her a house and clothes for the night, but it came off quite differently. The group looked at each other with worried looks.

"No problem, see ya around princess," Waluigi put on his helmet and sped off, trying his hardest not to look back at Aria. He knew he would see her again, just not soon enough in his mind.

"Are you ok???" Peach questioned in fear.

"Yeah? Why?" Aria answered.

"Because you had to spend the night at his house! Did he force you to go home with him?" Daisy answered. "I swear if he touches you that little dirtbag-"

"Hey now," Aria interrupted. "He helped me get out of the rain and treated me very respectfully. He's a lot sweeter than you guys make him out to be."

"Sweet?" They all said. "I'm sorry Aria, but Waluigi is the furthest thing from sweet," Daisy added. Aria had enough of people trying to tell her what's what.

"Just forget about it ok? Let's just move on and play some tennis please," Aria said, obviously frustrated with the crowd. They all kept quiet as her request and started to head towards Peach's private court.

Aria stood awkwardly and tried to make idle conversation with the group. She wasn't very good at being sociable or holding a conversation, especially with people she couldn't act herself around. If she was with Waluigi she could act however she wanted to. She'd have a lot more to talk about than the weather or the state of the Floating Islands. Her turn was up and she went to tie her hair back, but when she felt her wrist, her favorite red scrunchie had disappeared. Where could she have left it? Waluigi's place probably. She tried to feel annoyed for leaving it behind but she couldn't help but feel happy that she had an excuse to come over to his house and bug him. She decided to play without one for now, but was eager to go over and retrieve it. Time passed by slowly, but surely enough the game was over and she excused herself from the group.
