“Luigi, why do you always wear those same overalls? Don’t you get bored of them?” Peach asked, folding some of her stockings.
Peach and Luigi found out they had quite a lot in common after Luigi was saved from Bowser. And after Bowser managed to escape and grow back to his original size. Next time, they need to make sure Bowser can’t get broken out by his magical henchman. Not great, but nothing the Super Mario Brother couldn’t handle!
Speaking of Mario, he was probably with Donkey Kong right now. Luigi wouldn’t say that they’re friends, but they both have the same ambitious good nature. So that left Luigi and Peach in the castle.
It’s was a calm day, just the two of them doing quiet and mundane tasks, to recover from the excitement of their past adventure.
“Well Peach, they may not be as nice, but when you’re getting spray with toilet water, you wouldn’t want to be wearing that,” Luigi gestured to Peach’s pink gown. “And to add they’re like the most comfortable clothes I have.”
“Explains why you wear it even to the royal court,” she sighs “I wish I could get away with wearing overalls.”
“Well why’s that princess?” Luigi examined his hat. On him and Mario’s latest adventure to the desert, his hat got caught on fire, causing a few holes. He’d have to sew it up later tonight.
“Do you know how uncomfortable these clothes are? Jeez and these heels. Imagine doing all that work in these. And I have to ‘look presentable’ and all that,” she said using air quotes, “and dressing up is fun unless when I have to,”
“Oh man it can’t be that bad,”
Peach instead of getting defensive had a mischievous look, “Wanna find out?”
“Huh?” Luigi looked up from his hat.
“We could switch clothes! Oh and I could do your make-up! And hair! Oh yes!” Peach started to get giddy and started to glance around the room, grabbing various objects.
“I actually take bad what I said I’m a bit scared.”
Peach waved him away, “Oh don’t be! I’ll make sure the corset isn’t that tight,”
“The what.”
——
Luigi was awkwardly standing in front of Peach’s mirror while she styles her dress on him. She pull on the hem of the dress excitedly.
“Sorry, I guess- I guess I’m just a bit excited to have someone else to do this with. The toads don’t have hair, and definitely wouldn’t fit into any of these,” she explained while fixing the dress on Luigi.
“Oh Peach it’s okay, I’m just surprised you have a wig of your own hair?”
“Yeah, I’m not sure why I have that either?”
Peach scrunched up her face, focusing very hard on Luigi’s eyeshadow. She had never done make up on anyone but herself, add to that being self taught. But when she pulled away she was genuinely impressed with herself.
Luigi gazed at himself in the mirror, “Gosh Peach you made me look exactly like your sister!”
“Oooh! I’ve always wanted a sister! Gets lonely being the only lady in the group” Peach said.
“Well, I may be no lady, but you’re always a part of the family!”
“Awww Luigi,”
Luigi looked back at his reflection, “You know, I think the only thing that makes me not look like you is the mustache.”
“Hmm, I think I have a solution,” Peach rummaged through her drawers, and found a white face mask. “Here! This’ll cover your mustache,”
They glanced at the full size mirror in front of them. He… honestly kind of looked like her. He was a bit shorter, even with heels, but he could see the resemblance. Like sisters, just as they said.
“Man, you should take over for me sometime,” Peach teased.
He teased back, “You wanna unclog some toilets?”
“Oh- You know I do,” she nudged him.
He took a good look at her, she didn’t put as much effort into her ‘disguise’ as she did his, but he also didn’t put too much effort into his appearance on the daily basis.
“I don’t think Mario would buy your disguise,”
“Well maybe cus you didn’t let me have your hat-“ Peach folded her arms.
“This one is my favorite hat okay!” Luigi gestured.
“What if I give you my crown?”
Luigi paused. “… okay sure.”
They traded their head pieces.
Peach pulled the hat over her hair, tucking it in, and Luigi fixed the crown atop his head “Now all you’re missing is the mustache!”
Quickly grabbing some make up, she crudely rubs some brown eyeshadow on her upper lip.
“Ah yes, I am mister Luigi, the manly brother of mansville,” Peach imitated his voice.
“You gotta do the mamma Mia,”
“Mamma Mia!”
“You got it!” Luigi chuckled.
“And I am princess peach of the mushroom kingdom!” Luigi exclaimed in a high pitched voice. He laughed, but stopped when he heard a loud crash.
“Yeah I know you are.” Bowser said.
“Wait wha-“ Luigi heard crumbling. He looked up to where he heard the voice.
Bowser stood proudly, grinning madly. “Hey Peaches, Sweetheart, glad to see you finally away from Mario,”
“What?! Bowser? I’ve told you to leave me alone!!” Peach yelled. She grabbed an axe from a knight figurine. “Now if I have to-“
“Okay Linguini! You wanna be left alone? Okay fine. You’re not my priority,” He shut her up. His guards started to surround her.
Luigi started to back up, why wasn’t Mario here. No- he could handle this himself, he just had to get a weapon, or a plan. “Stay back!”
“Please hun, save the sweet nothings for when we get back home okay,”
Luigi sat there stunned in silence. What? Why was Bowser talking to him? Is he going to use him as bait again? Really?
Oh. Oh…
Bowser thought he was Peach.
“Okay, to avoid what happened last time, Kamek! Just grab the princess, I already know she’ll say yes, so let’s leave the proposal to later.”
Kamek the sorcerer, pointed his golden staff at Luigi, making his whole body float. Oh god not again. “H- Hey! Put me d-!”
Kamek raised his other hand, effectively silencing him. His whole body was restrained.
“Luigi, no!! Bowser… you will never know peace if you follow through with this!” Peach yelled for him, fighting off small swarms of dry bones and koopas.
“Sorry! Luigi, not Linguini, jeez I’m sorry.” He shrugged, “I’ve never been good at names, but I never forget a face”
Both Peach and Luigi looked at him in disbelief.
“Well Linguine, I’ll see you at the wedding!”
He laughed maniacally, and Kamek dragged Luigi back into Bowser’s ship. Luigi kept squirming and trying to speak, but to no avail. He made eye contact to Peach one last time as the ships doors slowly closed.
“Kamek, bring my princess to her quarters. Ooh I have to get ready! Goombas! I need hairspray, and a tuxedo!”
Luigi froze (well, was already frozen, but would freeze up if he could) at the sharp contrast between the Bowser that broke into Peach’s castle and the Bowser sheepishly fixing and hair. It was jarring, to say the least.
Bowser turned to Kamek, “is there anyway to just keep her silent? I don’t want her to say no until we are already legally bonded to each other, I already kinda paid for the flowers”
Kamek thought “Hmm well, I could just put a silencing spell! Though it only lasts around an hour-”
“Do that! Oh peaches my sweet, you thank me later, on our honeymoon!” Bowser gushed. “Take her to the quarters and sdonf you DARE let anyone or anything near her,”
“Of course King Bowser-“
“No you don’t get it.” He got closer to Kamek, making him make eye contact. There was an aura that radiated from him. “If anything goes wrong like last time, none of you are going to spend the last seconds of your life in peace. I need this to go right, so make sure it does,” Bowser fixed his hair. Luigi couldn’t be more glad that Bowser’s attention wasn’t on him at that moment. “Take her to her quarters,”
“Well, Princess, you heard him. To the quarters!”
“MMRFHHH-“
“Well, okay. Would love to understand that. But uh, I have to just make sure you’re quiet until you decide to say yes, because we are the one who have to deal with the heartbroken koopa king,” Kamek fixed his robe and led Luigi to ‘her’ quarters. “Let’s actually put that silencing spell in you.”
Oh wow. So he was immobilized and silenced. Cool.
All he could do, for a second time, was hope for Mario to find him.
(Or he could do something himself, but if he did then I couldn’t write him getting wifed up and dicked down. So he’ll just suffer for a bit <3)
