Chapter Text
Captured again. Luigi almost felt like a princess, even though this was only his second time being held prisoner by the enemy. Everyone honestly thought that Bowser would aim to kidnap Peach this time around.
He’s horrified at the realization that he’ll be thrown in a cage again, and he’s definitely not looking forward to facing the Koopa king in his normal size.
In the middle of the night, Kamek and a blue-shelled Parakoopa managed to sneak into the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue their king and take him back to his lands. They succeeded, and panic ensued the next morning when it was discovered that the large Koopa fled. About a month had passed after Bowser’s escape, and the king finally made a move by ordering to have Luigi brought to him with the hopes of a rematch with Mario.
“Mamma mia,” Luigi mutters as he’s pulled into the familiar throne room, stumbling forward a bit as his Parakoopa captor tugged at the rope around his wrists.
“We’ve captured the green Mario brother, as you commanded!” he announced, Luigi pushes his lips together before looking to where Bowser’s sitting on his throne. The green wearing plumber quickly lifts his hands to his mouth to hide the grin he’s unable to stop, and the sudden burst of air he let out, all the fear he was feeling gone. Bowser stands from his throne with a curious eyebrow raised, “Why is he looking at me like that?” he asked himself mentally. Luigi takes a step back as the king starts to descend from his throne, on the rumble that Kamek floats in his direction, the human quickly turning his body to avert his gaze. The Parakoopa takes the rope off Luigi’s wrists before moving away from the plumber, two “hee-hee”s escaping Luigi before he recovers his mouth with his hands. A mustache, Bowser has a mustache and a bit of a beard growing. Luigi doesn’t know why he finds this so funny and cute.
“Are you laughing?” Bowser asked in a deep voice, sneering down at the plumber as the human’s body quivered with joy. When he doesn’t get a reply, he squats down then leans his face close the Luigi’s… which only earned him more giggles.
“What’s so damn funny?!” the large Koopa snarled as he gripped the slim human’s overall straps to pull him closer. Hopefully, the threat of how close the plumber’s face is to the king’s sharp teeth should get him to be more serious.
“Bowser please,” Luigi pleas as he tries to push Bowser’s face away, still snickering and giggling like a child. The giant Koopa’s nostril’s flare as he feels his fire start to rise, “What the fuck are you laughing about!” he demanded. Luigi meets his gaze with a wide grin, “You have facial hair! I didn’t even think you could grow any since you’re, like, a lizard, but here it is! Oh, oh, oh! Can I touch it? Please? Pretty please? I’ll tell you whatever you want to know if you let me!”
Bowser calmed down in the middle of Luigi’s ramblings, blinking twice as he felt his face. Huh, looks like he forgot to shave; he was pretty busy after getting back to his kingdom and his normal size.
He smirks with a huff, “Is that all it’ll take for you to talk? Well, feel free to touch then, Greenie.”
Luigi hummed happily then started to play with Bowser’s mustache, a pleased smile on his face. The hairs are just as red as the hairs on Bowser’s head, the plumber a little disappointed that he couldn’t take his gloves off to get a better feel of the Koopa’s stache. He hums in a curious tone then presses his lips together as he leans in to press his mustache against Bowser’s, the Koopa king’s eyes widening as his face turned red with blush. They’re kissing, no, their mustaches are. If Luigi were to relax his lips, then they’d definitely be kissing with how close their faces are.
Bowser quickly moves back from Luigi, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?!”
“Hm? Oh,” the green plumber shrugs, “not too sure, but I’ve come to a conclusive conclusion!” he points at the larger with a stern look, “You need to take better care of your mustache; it’s almost as pokey as a cactus! You need to wash it and give it nutrition just like your actual hair, and you need to comb and brush it to prevent it from getting tangled!”
Bowser got ready to retort, but then he felt the eyes of his subjects on him and Luigi. They all had a look of confusion on their face, not sure what the fuck they just witnessed. They’ve never seen their king act so flustered before.
The giant Koopa produced a low growl at them then huffs, “You’re coming with me,” he states as he grabs Luigi by his overall straps again, dragging him out of the throne room.

Bowser huffs smoke out of his nose as he allows Luigi to touch and play with his facial hair some more, his foot tapping in an irritated manner against the floor of his bedroom. That’s where he took Luigi so he could interrogate the plumber more privately, but he ended up on his couch with the human touching his face. He even reached up to feel in his head hair, he took off his gloves too. They’re hanging out his back pocket.
“Have you had your fill yet?” he asked with another huff of smoke, groaning when Luigi hushed him.
“You know, I only agreed to this so that I could get information out of you.”
“Twas a trick!” Luigi beamed as he put his hands on his hips, “I’m not tell you anything!”
He reaches to go back to ouching Bowser’s mustache, but the Koopa’s hands find his wrists. He smirks wickedly, “If you don’t plan on talking, then you can’t mess with my face anymore! I’ll even go shave and make you watch!”
Luigi gasps, “How cruel!”
Bowser laughs evilly, “Oh yes, I will, Greenie! You better start-!”
“Bu-but,” Luigi waves his arms up and down as he talks, “you look so good with facial hair! I mean, you were handsome without it before, but it suits you just like a clean shave does! It’d be a waste; especially if you start taking care of it properly!”
“I look good with it, huh?” Bowser leans back into the cushions of his black couch, “If I recall correctly, you laughed when you first saw it.”
Luigi huffs as he crosses his arms with a cheek puffed up, “Only because it was unexpected! Again, I didn’t think you could grow a mustache since you’re so scaley and reptilian! You do have hair on your head, though.”
The Koopa slowly blinks, “You also said… that you find me handsome with a clean shave.”
Luigi, “I-! Eh?!” he cups his blushing cheeks in his hands after remembering what he said, an amused smirk stretching on the king’s face. Blush suits Luigi, in Bowser’s opinion. The red would bloom on his cheeks and the tips of his ears, spreading down to his shoulders when he blushes harder.
The plumber starts to ramble, “Yo-you… you must’ve misheard me! Why would I think you, the enemy, is handsome! It-it-it-it’s like forbidden fruit anyway which would make it all the swee-!” he quickly slaps his hands over his mouth like Mario does to stop himself from talking, his entire face red. Bowser’s smirk grows, “Why’d you stop? Aren’t you explaining yourself, Greenie?”
Luigi quickly shook his head then turned around to try an escape, but Bowser gently pulled him closer. Before the king can do anything, a knock rises from the door.
“Forgive me for interrupting your interrogation, your highness, but Kamek has urgent matters to discuss with you. He’s waiting for you in the war room.”
Bowser huffs out smoke as he glares at the door then unwraps his arms, Luigi letting out a relieved sigh as the larger stands up to leave.
“Don’t think you’ve escaped me just yet.” Bowser stops at the door then looks over his shoulder, “I still expect an explanation from you, Luigi, there’ll be a… punishment if you don’t talk.”
The green wearing plumber gulps as he watches the Koopa king leave the bedroom, his heart thumping in his ears. He knows, for a fact, that he’s not leaving this castle unharmed. Hell, he might not be able to walk right if he’s not able to come up with a good justification.
