There was a possibility she was imagining him.
There was no way the universe would be so heartless, to mock her this way.
Surely he was real, real and smiling and hugging his brother after travelling so long and so far to reach him.
She couldn’t stop staring at the way he gazed at his closest family with so much admiration and fufilled longing as if everything in his world was right now that he had found who he’d been looking for.
It made her feel an emotion that was hard to describe, but if she had to bring some meaning to it she realized that it could almost be that…
She wanted him to look at her like that.
Mario didn’t think he could be any happier than he was at that moment. He had finally reunited with his little brother and it seemed like everyone was safe and alright. For the first time in a long time things felt like they were going to be okay. After making sure said brother was truly okay and unharmed he noticed another individual coming up to him who rivaled Luigi in looking absolutely relieved and delighted to see him.
“Mario! Thank goodness you’re alright! After you fell I thought…” she looked so happy to see him and Mario in that moment realised just how happy he was to see her too.
“Yeah I’m okay” he stated with joy while holding his hands out.
“I see you’ve discovered another power-up, it suits you.” Princess Peach laughed while messing with his Tanooki cap.
That’s when before either of them knew it they had both reached for the other’s hands until they both had them in a comfortable hold.
Mario felt his emotions stir once more, seeing the radiant princess after having accepted the fact that he may never see her again, it was a lot to say the least. This wonderful woman who had gone out of her way to help him reunite with his brother, he was truly grateful. Quite honestly though, as much as he hated to admit to himself given its supposed purpose, she looked absolutely stunning all things considered in the wedding dress Bowser had picked for her. If there was at least one positive outlook to be had from this whole mess, it would be that. Then again Mario didn’t doubt she would look beautiful in anything she wore.
But of course just like with all good things, it eventually had to come to an end and suddenly Mario felt a blast of heat protrude in his direction, and by instinct held up his hands to try and shield himself.
Bowser was suddenly shouting something about launching a ‘Bommer Bill’? Whatever that was, but knowing Bowser and seeing the look of horror that crossed Princess Peach’s face, shouting a fearful ‘No!’ in anguish, he quickly deduced it meant bad news even before Bowser uttered the part of destroying the Mushroom Kingdom.
And so while any other person would have second guessed putting their life on the line for a place they had only recently come to know, Mario on the other hand, the second he saw that weapon of destruction coming down to destroy everything the princess and her Toads had ever cared for, knew in that moment that no matter if or how he could do it, he had to help them.
So just like that he sped off, uncertain whether he would make it out unscathed but absolutely sure that he was going to try.
A part of him realized, he wanted to try…
This couldn’t be happening.
There was no way this was happening.
Please this had to be a trick or some cruel joke.
But no the minute she saw Bowser’s trump card beelining towards the only home she’d ever known and Mario very quickly following in pursuit…she knew.
She knew that just as quickly as she thought she had it all, it was going to be ripped away from her all once again. And as much as she knew she was going to grieve the loss of her home it was at that moment, what or more accurately who, was at the forefront of her mind throughout the entire endeavour…
This man she barely knew, who had fought so hard to reunite with someone he truly cared for, who had in fact nearly lost his life to do so…was now actually going to lose it all in an attempt to save a place that should have meant nothing to him but meant everything to…
He was doing this for her.
And even if she was wrong and he wasn’t actually doing this for her but just out of the goodness of his heart well…
Princess Peach finally had a name for the emotion this man evoked in her.
Surprisingly that was the only emotion he could resonate with as the flames of Bowser’s furious breath inched ever closer and he had practically accepted once more that his time had come. For good this time.
Love was what encompassed his entire being and what filled his soul to the brim, while experiencing that infamous moment of having his life flash before his eyes, he felt at peace with it. However even between the seconds leading up to his eventual demise he realised that apart from the obvious recipients of his endearment such as his brother, his family, and his close friends, he found it was also towards one person that he realised should have been more surprising to be added to this list but despite everything…he found himself not being surprised at all. To be fair…
How could he not fall in love with the most incredible woman he’s ever met in both worlds.
His only regret was that he never got to tell her.
He promised himself in that moment if by some miracle he got out of this alive he would tell her, one day.
He looked up ready for the end.
And that’s when he saw Luigi with a manhole cover.
“See? I told you I’d get you a pet turtle!”
Not bad at all…because finally after everything.
The Mario Brothers had defeated Bowser and peace could finally reign over the land.
And while in many ways that was a wonderful thing, she eventually came to the conclusion when the adrenaline wore off that it also meant…
The brothers were going to go back home.
Mario was going to go back home.
Would she ever see him again after that?
Mario had been talking to Luigi about possible repairs to be done to the area that Bowser’s ship had crashed onto. Luckily most of it landed on an abandoned construction site at the time so no one was injured. Still it would be a long while before it even began to resemble what it did before. Soon Mario paused what he had been saying after noticing his brother look behind him, eventually detecting the presence of someone coming up behind him as well.
Lo and behold there standing with fidgeting hands and a downward gaze stood none other than Princess Peach herself. She soon looked up to relay what she wanted to say.
Mario couldn’t help but notice she seemed uncharacteristically timid, but chalked it up to simply aftermath nerves.
“Hello princess” he responded in kind.
“Oh please I think we’re past formalities by now, please” she smiled at him “call me Peach”
Quite honestly Mario was flattered, he chuckled softly and rubbed the back of his neck.
Luigi simply looked between the two of them curiously, when all of a sudden his eyes grew a bit wider as if a sudden wisdom had been imparted onto him and out of nowhere he said,
“You two will have to excuse me, there is something I’ve been meaning to ask our parents” he first gestured to him and Mario and then where their parents were talking.
However before he could leave a flash of worry crossed Mario’s face and he quickly grabbed his brother’s hand in a tight grip.
“H…Hold on, are you sure you don’t want me to go with you?” His voice sounded so soft and fragile.
It seemed the effects of the last couple of days hadn’t completely worn off just yet.
But Luigi seemingly already knew what to do. He simply put his other hand on his shoulder and gave him a look that said so much without a single word being exchanged. Most of all however it said ‘I’m right here, and I’m not going anywhere’. And honestly in that moment…that was enough.
So Mario took a deep breath, put on a brave face, and reluctantly let go of his hand while uttering a small ‘okay’.
After his brother left his eyes trailed his movement for a minute longer before shifting his attention back towards the princess.
“Sorry about that prin…I mean Peach” now he was the one who felt uncharacteristically nervous. “I guess I’m just still a bit jittery after everything that happened.”
“There’s no need to apologize, believe me if anyone understands how you’re feeling right now it’s me”
She smiled at him, he smiled back.
“But anyways what was it you wanted to tell me before you got interrupted?”
All of a sudden Peach’s mood seemed to switch back to something more on edge.
“So I suppose now that everything has been resolved you’re probably going to go back home right?”
“Well that would make sense wouldn’t it?” Mario had a feeling that there was more to this, so he waited patiently for Peach to sort through her thoughts.
“Yes I suppose it would.” a sudden look of what could be described as determination crossed her face.
“Unless you and your brother move to the Mushroom Kingdom.” She said it in such a wishful way that it genuinely warmed Mario’s heart. Soon however he actually processed what she had said and completely froze.
“You…you mean actually LIVE over there?”
“Well last I checked that’s what moving meant” she giggled a bit.
Mario still half couldn’t believe what he was hearing but then he actually thought about it. Getting to live in a magical world with floating blocks, magic flowers, mushroom people, talking apes, and…..he looked up…with her.
Suddenly Mario felt sure of his answer
“Obviously I’d have to talk it over with my brother and family but for now if you want just my answer…”
Suddenly all the feelings and emotions that Peach had been bottling up this entire time crashed over her in one giant wave, and very soon she found herself tearing up.
Mario immediately became concerned, apologising profusely thinking he did something wrong. This only made her cry harder. He was so sweet.
Finally she couldn’t take it anymore and lunged forward hugging this short, reality defying adorable man…she had to tell him.
“And…*sniff* and I love y…y…you”
And poor Mario if the previous question had him speechless, this confession had him utterly gobsmacked. That was quite literally the last thing he had expected her to say.
It was clear to her he was at a loss of words meanwhile now that she had started it was hard to stop, she began to ramble.
“I…I…I got s…s…so scared w…when I s…saw you fall the first time *sniff*”
It all came back in full force, after having to keep it hidden for so long, after having to be the brave and strong one for everyone else. She finally allowed herself to just…feel
“A…a…and then y…you flew after that…that thing and I had no idea how you would ever make it out alive *sniff* that’s without even mentioning that fire blast, thank goodness for your brother, you…you p…put everything on the line just for our kingdom and…and…”
She wiped her eyes and pulled back to look at him.
“I can never thank you enough for that…for this…for everything you’ve done for us.” she took a breath Mario still looking at her as if he was in a dream.
“Mario…you are single-handingly the bravest, most kind, most wonderful man I ever met. And I understand given the fact that we’ve only known each other a few days and you don’t really know me that well you may not feel the same but…”
Mario grasped her hands gently cutting her off.
“Princess, or should I say, Peach, you wanna know one of the last things I thought to myself as Bowser’s flames nearly reached me?
“I promised myself that if by some miracle I would make it out of that alive I’d tell you that…”
He looked down smiled and then looked back up to her with a look that said everything words couldn’t. Still it had to be said.
Some would argue that their feelings were simply an accumililation of all the near-misses they had.
But anyone who truly knew them, would know that it wouldn’t have mattered if it had taken one day, one week, one month, or even one year. Time was an illusion and,
Mario and Peach were in love.
And nothing in all the cosmos or galaxies was going to change that.
Hope you have a wonderful day! 😁
