I have been inspired to write a Luigi x Slenderman fanfiction because of @recycledcactus, so now I’m giving it to you, my very small fanbase. Please feel free to state your opinions on what I inevitably got wrong in the notes. Also, this is just chapter 1, and it’s pretty long, so if you want to skip over it, blacklist the tag because I plan on writing more and expanding on this.
Luigi has had enough. He has been in Mario’s shadow for far too long, despite being better than him in most, if not all, areas. When he went for a walk in Bramble Woods that night, he never intended to come back. He had no reason, since his attempts to become in a relationship with Princess Daisy have always resulted in the same six words: “I like you as a friend.” Little did poor Luigi know that his intent to never come back would not be fulfilled, but he would be happier just the same.
About this time, Slenderman was tired. He had never seen a human that wasn’t afraid of him, and just wanted to help them out. In fact, he was upset that he was interpreted as a monster in the games. He yearned for the life that his crush, Luigi, had, where he had friends and popularity because of relation to a celebrity. Slenderman had had enough of being the villain, and decided to head into the woods for his nightly stroll.
When Luigi got further into the woods, he stopped seeing the ever-recognizable circles on the trees. In fact, the further in he went, the more he realized that he was afraid. He didn’t see any sleeping Wigglers, the fuzzys stopped going past this point: It all felt like something out of a horror game. But he had no reason to turn back, since if he left, nothing was waiting for him. So he pressed onward.
Soon enough, he saw what looked like a Blooper, but it didn’t look right. It wasn’t the right shade to be a poisonous blooper, but it wasn’t a normal blooper’s white color that makes them recognizable. Actually, this creature didn’t look like a squid at all, unless squid can operate highly complex machinery that looks like humans.
Luigi was startled by the figure at first, that was without a doubt; however, now he was terrified, because he saw no face where one was expected for the humanoid being. The creature had no mouth, but it was able to speak. It had no nose, but it claimed to smell Luigi’s fear. It had no eyes, but it was able to see Luigi’s figure. All of this would lead Luigi to try to run, but he couldn’t. He was paralyzed with fear.
But the creature never tried to eat Luigi. In fact, it told him not to be afraid, and that it meant him no harm. But why would he do this? Why would this creature, who looked so startling, be nothing to fear? The creature spoke once more, and said its name: Slenderman.
Luigi, now knowing the name of this being, asked it if it knew a place where he could have a purpose, aside from being player two. The next words out of Slenderman were somewhat confusing for Luigi at first, but stuck with him for life.
“My… heart,” Slenderman said. Luigi didn’t know how to respond. Finally, he said, “B-b-but… why? I’m-a just the loser who gets-a nothing. I’m-a player two in a single player game.” But then, something clicked within Luigi’s mind. He remembered why Slenderman was a familiar name to him. Luigi had played the latest Slender game. He remembered who Slenderman was. But with this knowledge, Luigi was not afraid. He was happier. For earlier that night, the figure said not to be afraid and that it meant Luigi no harm. In fact, it had basically said “I love you” to Luigi just a second ago. But did the figure know who Luigi was? did he know how Luigi felt about his life?
“You… are… not… a… loser.” Said Slenderman. He was struggling with getting words out, not because of not having a face, but because he was in front of his crush, who he never thought he would find. Luigi was lifted by these words. “I never thought I’d meet a fan.” Slenderman responded with “I’m… not… just… a… fan… I… like… you…” Luigi was no longer even slightly afraid of this figure. In fact, the more they talked, the more he liked him. Eventually, Slenderman gave Luigi his phone number and told him to call if he wanted someone to talk to. Luigi was happy to give Slenderman his phone number and tell him the same. Slenderman had to get home, because the sun was rising, and Luigi was pretty tired because of staying up so late, so they both headed home with knowledge that their lives were about to get much better.
END OF CHAPTER 1
time for chapter 2! remember, if you ever want to ignore this, just blacklist the tag, because I’m not done until I’ve written all that I can think about.
When Luigi got home that morning, he was surprised to see that there was a group of toads that were looking for them. When he saw that they were all wearing bandanas, he knew that they were the rescue squad. “I’m-a not in trouble, I was justa-going for a walk,” Luigi said. The rescue squad said that, because of his late night walk, Mario was worried sick. Luigi felt guilty now. The rescue squad offered to walk him home, but he declined. He thought that it would be better if went home alone.
Slenderman was just getting home when he saw someone leaving his house. He didn’t know what to do just yet, but when he saw the person holding a bag full of stuff, he knew that his reputation would be ruined. He was being robbed, and the person most likely took at least some of his Luigi memorabilia, and if the media found out that he crushed on Luigi, he would never live it down. But Slenderman was trying to gain a reputation as a good guy, so if he took his stuff back and yelled at the robber, his reputation would return to being a creepypasta. He would have to be quick and silent.
Luigi was just getting into his house when Mario tackled him with a hug. “Where did-a you go?! I was so worried!” Mario said. Luigi responded with “I went out into the woods, and-a I met a nice-a man.” At this point, Mario was curious. “what do-a you mean, a nice man?” Luigi was flustered, because he never told his brother that he likes both men and women. Finally, he was able to spit out a few words: “I made-a a new friend.” Mario was pleased. He knew that his brother was antisocial, so either he found a new friend like he said, or he wasn’t straight and found a potential partner. “Luigi, it’s-a okay if you’re not-a straight. I would accept-a you.” When Mario spoke these words, Luigi breathed a sigh of relief. He could tell Mario all about his encounter.
Slenderman was stalking the thief who stole his stuff, trying to think of how to take it back without scaring them. A tentacle might work, but they make a slight hiss when they move. However, options were pretty limited, because he couldn’t just take the bag from the thief with his hands, and he didn’t have his nightly supernatural powers. So with a tentacle emerging from his back, he slowly reached it towards the bag. he just needed to wrap it around the top of the bag, and he could take it away. The odds were looking bad, but he did it. He got the bag, and had just enough power in the morning twilight to teleport away before the thief could notice the missing bag. All was well for Slenderman.
When Luigi finished explaining what happened in chapter 1, Mario was a bit concerned. He watched the video that Luigi uploaded onto his Youtube channel of himself playing Slender, so he knew what Slenderman looked like. Mario was concerned because his little brother was going to try to date him. However, Mario promised to both Luigi and himself to be supportive of this. So he let Luigi have the phone, and he called the number that Slenderman gave him.
“…Hello?” Slenderman said. “Hey, it’s-a me, Luigi!” Replied Luigi. “Oh… Hello… Luigi.” There was apparent tiredness in his voice. Luigi remembered that Slender games never took place during the day. “I’m-a sorry, I forgot that you probably don’t-a stay up during the day, huh?” Luigi had slight regret in his voice, because he had just realized how different their sleep schedules were. “I’m… alright… just… tired… stopped… robber… stealing… my stuff…” Luigi was suddenly concerned. Did the thief get anything important? did anything get lost permanently? But just as Luigi was going to ask these questions, Slenderman spoke. “I… got… stuff… back… all of it…” At this point, Luigi could sense that it was getting harder and harder for Slenderman to stay awake.
“You can-a go to sleep, you sound-a like you need it,” Luigi said. Slenderman replied with, “Thank… You…” After these words, Luigi could hear startling sounds that, upon closer examination, sounded like distorted snoring. He hung up the phone. He then went onto the couch for a nap, because it was apparent that if he wanted the relationship to advance, he would have to be willing to change his sleep schedule. Fortunately, he was already willing to do just that.
As he started to doze off, Luigi had a thought. “It sure would be nice to go on a date with him, I would think.” After these words floated around in his head, he dozed off, dreaming about what tomorrow night held in store for him.
END OF CHAPTER 2
okay, I had to re-read what I wrote to remember the writing style. apparently, I’m able to write about those subjects in such a way that’s acceptable to read, but I never thought I could write like that. Also, you probably thought that I was done with this, right? wrong, I just took a long break.
also, yadda yadda blacklist the tag if you’re not interested etc. etc.
The night that Luigi had in mind was a perfect fit in three ways. One, Luigi was used to staying up late at this point. Two, Slenderman had nothing particularly important to do that night, aside from way three. Three, a group of indie developers had wanted to create a dating game where you go on a date with Slenderman, but they couldn’t find anyone who would want to record live footage of him to put in their game, no matter how much they were promised. All in all, this worked out well for everyone.
Luigi ordered food from his favorite restaurant. Slenderman picked out a nice spot in the woods, so that they wouldn’t have to go out in public and risk any secrets getting out. When the time came, they were both a little nervous, but knew that they couldn’t get closer if they didn’t try this out. Plus, Luigi signed a contract with the indie developers, so there really was no turning back now.
Slenderman waited at the spot. He wondered if he would need to teleport Luigi over there, because it didn’t seem that far. Fortunately, just as Slenderman was thinking about going home because Luigi wasn’t there yet, he arrived. “Sorry I’m-a late, Mario threw a party, and-a we finished a bit late.” “Not a problem.” Slenderman replied. for the first time, he was able to speak complete sentences in front of Luigi. Luigi himself was proud of this.
Slenderman was about to ask about the camera, but then he remembered that he had agreed to work with those indie developers for some positive light in the media. despite the occasional distraction by this, he was having a great time. Luigi was a great person to be around, and he felt the same way about Slenderman. Although neither of them could wrap their heads around how Slenderman’s powers worked, or how he was able to eat. He put the food up to where his mouth would be, and all of a sudden, it was gone. They decided to sum it up with one word: Magic.
When they were done eating, they looked off into the moonlight. “I can-a see why you would-a want to live in this-a forest.” Luigi said, all the while staring at the beautiful scene that was in front of him. “I feel like it’s-a peaceful at-a night, when nobody’s-a looking to put-a you in bad press.”
“It’s a nice forest, sure, but right now, I feel like it’s what’s in it that’s amazing.” Slenderman no longer seemed to be facing the moon, but rather, Luigi. “And what’s in it... is you.” Luigi blushed. He had felt the same way about Slenderman. “...It’s getting late... you should head home now.” Slenderman was sad that it was already time for them to leave, but without a curse binding the night, time sadly moved forward.
“Okie dokie, but first... I want to give-a you this.” Luigi, still blushing, turned towards the figure. with only slight hesitation, he leaned in...
and their date ended with a kiss.
