"DODGE!" Lia screams at me as another ball of fire hurls towards me. I roll to the side, barely missing the fire ball and getting my hair a little singed. "C'mon, slugger, hustle!" Lia motivates me again, sending another fireball towards me, this time at my torso. I throw myself onto the ground, the coarse dirt of the training yard digging into the tender skin of my face. I roll onto my back and kick myself into an upright position just in time to dodge another fire ball Lia throws at my feet. "Now we're gettin' somewhere!" I wipe the sweat off my forehead and zero in on Lia's figure from across the training yard, sprinting towards her with everything I've got, simultaneously dodging fire balls in the process. I crouch down a few feet in front of her and launch myself over her head, successfully nabbing the Mushroom Kingdom flag hanging over her head, and land in a super-hero pose, one hand steadying myself on the ground, the other clutching the flag off the enemy. "Alright, putting some finesse into it, I see, way to go, slugger! That's your best time yet!" She said, holding out the stopwatch for me to see. 7:35. Holy crap! I shaved off two minutes!
Lia pulls me to my feet and pats me on the back, "Only two weeks at this and you're already faster than me!" I laugh softly, trying to remain humble.
"Meh, purely instinct, my dear Lia."
"Nonsense." Kamek's voice comes from the doorway. "Your health and skill have greatly improved these past two weeks, y/n. You should take more pride in your accomplishments." I scratch the back of my neck sheepishly,
"Yeah, okay... that did feel pretty badass." Lia and Kamek chuckle in response and Lia shoves me towards him.
"Their all yours, magic man." He nods and we begin walking back to the library for another lesson. That's mostly what these past two weeks have been. Drills with Lia, lessons with Kamek, troubleshooting with Luigi, and family time with Bowser and Jr.
And it's been great.
As we walk through the castle halls, we pass by mine and Bowser's room. "Hey, is it okay if I take a quick shower before our lesson?" I ask Kamek, but he knows it's not really a request more of me just telling him where I'm going.
"Of course, my dear. Take your time. A clean and healthy body is the first ingredient to a sharp mind." He continues on his walk to the library, and I head into my room only to find Bowser sitting in bed, reading. He smiles when he sees me walk in the door and immideatly sets his book down and walks towards me for a hug. I hold my arms up, declining his embrace, and he looks at me like a sad puppy. Gods, he's so adorable.
"I just finished drills with Lia, sweetie. I'm all sweaty." I explained to him with a sympathetic smile on my face. He rolled his eyes and hugged me anyway, lifting me off the floor and into his arms.
"I don't care if you just went dumpster diving or finished a shift at the squid dissection factory, I'm gonna hug ya whenever and wherever I damn well please." He muttered into my neck, making me giggle.
TW: MILD SPICY CONTENT AHEAD, DO NOT PROCEED IF UNCOMFORTABLE
He carries me into the bathroom and sets me on the counter, his hands resting on my hips. He started the faucet in the bathtub, letting the water heat up a bit before pushing the plug down and letting it fill. He takes great care in taking my clothes off, his hands sliding over my skin reverently I sigh heavily as he gently massages my tense shoulders, kneading the stiff muscles into relaxing until I'm basically jelly in his arms. He scoops me back up and carries me into the tub, setting me in his lap so my head stays above the water (the tub is basically a small swimming pool to me since he's so massive.)
"I missed ya, pumpkin~" he purrs in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. Between his voice in my ear, his hands gently washing the filth off my body and massaging my sore muscles, and the warmth of the bath water, I can practically feel myself going into heat.
"You say that every day, Bows..." I reply, leaning my head back on his shoulder while his lazily kisses my neck.
"And every day I miss you even more..." He growls, his voice dropping an octave and taking on a gravelly quality. His hands move down to my hips, squeezing ever so slightly to make me squirm. Gods, he knows just what makes me tick.
"Nnnhh... Bowserrrr..." I groan, gasping softly as his sharp teeth graze my earlobe."Yes... pumpkin~?" He chuckles darkly, his hands sliding up and down my sides, over my chest, back down my torso, over my thighs... fuck.
"You know exactly what you're doing to me, you horn dog, and you also know damn well we don't have time for that right now." I say, looking back at him over my shoulder when my lips are immediately captured by his, his tongue sliding past my lips and claiming every inch of my mouth, silencing any further protests at once. I whine softly, resigning myself to his whims. He growls possessively, his hands sliding down my back and pulling me closer.
He pulls back to admire the love-drunk expression on my face, his lips pulling back in a smirk. "You're so damn precious to me, pumpkin... and so damn sexy... I can't help it if I wanna worship every inch of your flawless body like the future ruler of Bowser Castle you are~"
He pulls me back in for another heated kiss, his fingers tangling in my wet hair. I feel my core getting hotter and hotter until...
There's a frantic knocking at the door.
Dammit.
Bowser growls in frustration, reluctantly pulling away from me. "Gods! I cannot catch a break, can I?!" He rinses the soap off my body and my hair and gently dries me off with a fluffy white towel, covering any exposed skin in kisses. He kisses my forehead, "You get dressed while I go answer the door, okay, pumpkin~?" I nod and turn around to the massive walk-in closet to find something to wear, all while eavesdropping on the conversation on the other side of the door.
Bowser's P.O.V.
I leave y/n to get dressed and shake any excess water from my scales before answering the door, still mildly peeved that I got cock-blocked AGAIN. My eyes widen.
"Captain Spike? What's the problem? Why aren't you at your post?" I say, looking down at the blue-shelled koopa paratrooper in front of me. He swallows hard, his back rigid with professionalism. But something's definitely wrong. He looks panicked. And he's never panicked.
"There's... hundreds of them, your majesty..." He says, his voice shaking.
"Hundreds? Hundreds of what?"
"...Toads, my lord. Maybe thousands." My face pales and my stomach sinks.
"An ambush?!"
"No, my lord..." He says, his hands clenching by his sides.
"Refugees."(1175 words)
