💘
☆ - Again it came, the most unexpected form of a well welcomed act. Here he was satisfied in ensuring that not a hair was harmed upon her head, that her radiant form of a smile could prevail despite the insane number of difficulties that enjoyed plaguing her. What had been a plan to keep her spirits strong with a round of small talk as they sack up to head off were flipped by a complete reversal. Never did he want to himself greedy in this regard, to this day he’d try his damn best not to be. Yet when the moments transpired..? Was it wrong to experience that rush of emotional that stormed in him more than any fight--
Whenever her lips graced his cheek in the form of a earnest kiss?
It felt as it a power shot through him that easily triumphed the might of any star that melded with him. Jumping well off the Kingdom’s grounds and the planet at that easily scoped into the realm of possibility. It made him happy. Happy in a way that in one way or another he knew was there, simply hadn’t bothered to vocalize, bother or fear? It was a balance upon those concepts that he paid no mind too. He’d much rather just smile in full and revel in this sensation of his heart melting. Already feeling that firm heat of a blush dust at his cheeks, not a moment was wasted in order to peer towards her.
To get a firsthand look at the beauty of princess who managed to smile strong through whatever grip of despair aimed her way. Mario couldn’t help but admire that about her, that strength unspoken of more than anything to not end up pulling her hair out from these ordeals. Conjured within his spirit was that relentless need to protect. To make sure that he was someone courageous enough to stick by her side when things truly got rough. In more ways than one, they long since kindled this friendship into a teamwork of sorts.
Always was it a unspoken goal between them and their many friends.
Keep this world safe.
Was it truly wrong to want to extend that just a bit more? As he felt how his heart jumped with a lightning bolt’s ferocity in his chest, the thought couldn’t resist dancing in mind. The much more selfish wish of personally wanting to protect that smile as well. Just the thought caused a swell of determination to wash over him, a form of contentment at being one of the important people within the circle of her life. These rare occasioned kisses in a way served as a miniature reminder. One he always found himself set in a guilty form of anticipation to receive. Jeeze. He’d have to be sure to knock those thoughts out post haste!
