Bowser x Luigi

Chapter 48: Mario's Big Day

[Mario's POV]

It's been some months since Bowser and Luigi had already gotten married. Peach and I haven't talked about that kind of thing in our relationship yet... but I've had the rings for quite some time already.

I looked at the calendar. Today is Peach her birthday. The day I'll ask her.. to be mine. I got up much earlier than usual, just to plan it all.

I still had a neat suit which I wore to Luigi's wedding. Hm, no. I need one special for this. I walked through the castle and looked around.

My mind was racing, and so was my heart. Today's the day. I'm giving her that ring. The one I've been holding onto for so long.

I took deep breaths as I put some nice clothes on. A black and red suit. I made a quick breakfast for Peach and went into our room.

"Good morning~" I whispered as I put the food on her nightstand. I gave her a kiss on her forehead. She yawned and smiled at me, "Good morning, Mario.."

It took some time before she started eating the breakfast I had made for her. "Do you remember that cherry blossom looking tree a little further in the kingdom?" I asked as I sat on the edge of the bed.

She finished the piece of food she was eating before she nodded, "What about it?" I looked at her with a smile. "Would you like to go there again today? Just the two of us?"

I watched as her eyes lit up, and her smile grew bigger. She nodded happily. "Of course! You know I love that spot!" I smiled back at her. I did know that. The perfect spot..

Just before the afternoon, we went to that spot. I had the ring with me and felt my heart pounding faster than ever before. We sat down near the tree and talked for some time.

"Hey.. Peach.. do you see those toads over there?" I asked. She looked over to where I pointed while I got onto one knee with the ring up beside her.

"I see a lot of toads there, which do you me-..." Her sentence was cut off when she saw me with the ring. Her eyes teared up. "Princess Peach... would you like to be mine.. till death us do part?" I asked, my voice cracking slightly due to being emotional and nervous.

She hugged me tightly and nodded yes against my chest. I hugged her back and gave her a kiss on her cheek. Once her quiet crying calmed down, I gently placed the ring on her finger. She hugged me tighter again.

We stayed there for some time, talking about how we'll want the wedding to go. My hand held hers as we continued talking. She was already talking about wedding dresses and a whole party.

I listened while also staring into her eyes.. her beautifully blue eyes. She turned to me as if she asked something. I shook my head out of my thoughts, "Did you ask something?" I asked.

She laughed and started getting up. "We need to invite people!" She said as she pulled me to my feet as well. We walked back to the castle, talking about who we'll invite.

We agreed on most invitations. She thought about inviting King Boo, but I quickly took that thought away. "King Boo literally tries hitting on Luigi whenever he appears. Let my fratello have rest." (Sorry if Fratello means something else, Google translate said it meant: brother)

She nodded, and we continued making our list. "Should we invite the koopalings?" She asked. "Well, I am their uncle.." I replied. She quickly laughed, "Alright, they'll be invited."

We spent the rest of the day celebrating her birthday.

The next day, we both woke up around 12 pm. due to our alarm. "We slept that long?" I yawned. She giggled, "Well, we did make it late last night." Right. I didn't want her special day to end too early.
