A Waleigi short because life is tough and I found my Waluigi hat recently
Warnings: Sadness, bad family memories
The starry night sky was slowly going away, the tip of the sun just barely visible over the hills, who also seemed to be sleeping. Judging by their closed eyes at least. Waluigi happened to be up at this time, a habit of his that started because of a messed up sleep schedule.
Usually what he'd end up doing would be getting out of bed and getting a small snack. Maybe a sandwich. Then he'd sit on the couch for awhile, sometimes watching TV if he felt like it (on low volume of course, he doesn't like to admit it but he cares for his two housemates enough to not wake them up super early in the morning). He'd also sometimes water his rose garden, though not often.
So, that was exactly what he planned on doing. He wasn't expecting to already see someone sitting on the couch.
At first he thought maybe he was just tired and seeing things, happened before. Once he heard the sniffles though, it confirmed that he was, in fact, awake, along with someone else. He walked around the couch, intending to see who this person was.
"Hello?"
"Gah!" Walexi jumped in her seat, whipping her head around to give Waluigi an upset glare. "Jeez, do you just enjoy sneaking up on people?!"
"Yes actually, it's my favorite pastime." He smirked, teasing her a little. Usually she'd be angry but tease him back, they'd rag on each other jokingly all the time. This time however, she simply scowled at him, hugging her knees and turning away from him. Well, that was...different.
"What's gotten into you?" He asked, a little annoyed before having a playful tone again. "Am I just too witty for you?"
"No, I just wish you'd buzz off and never come back." She replied, her voice kind of wavering. Despite the angry tone, he could tell it wasn't exactly all anger there. Something was wrong.
"Wah, you feeling okay? You're-a acting different."
"Oh, I'm just peachy." She began to say in a sarcastic voice. "I'm being bothered by a freaking purple tree who won't leave me alone!" She gave him another angry look, to which he simply stayed silent. He narrowed his eyes at her for a moment, when walked away.
Walexi continued to sit there, hugging her knees and grumbling a little. Quickly however, her anger melted into sadness. Great, this just added to what she thought of herself. Her family was right, she was unlovable and a monster. She was just horrible to the person she loves the most, what a greaaat person she was. Why did they even bother with her and her annoying, mean self?
Then, movement happened in the corner of her eye. Before she could fully react, she felt something soft wrap around her, a blanket from her room. Confused, she looked up at the person who did this: Waluigi.
"What are y-"
"Here." He interrupted, his voice a little softer than usual. Held carefully in his hands was her childhood plushie, a koopa troopa with faded colors. With a mix of confusion and hesitation, she told and plushie from him and set her legs back down, holding the plushie close.
"Why d-"
"I-a saw the tears on your cheeks and put two and two together." He replied, interrupting again and taking a moment to take off her glasses, setting them aside on the side table next to the couch. He knew tears getting on your glasses was annoying.
"Figured you needed comfort. I'll-a leave you alone now." He turned around but barely even took a step before he felt a hard tug on the back of his overalls. Turning back around, she was met with Walexi's eyes, tears now streaming down her face.
"D-don't go." She begged, her voice cracking. "Please."
He was surprised admittedly, not only had he never seen her this sad, this vulnerable with him, he also never had anyone need him for comfort.
Nonetheless, he sat down next to her, even picking her up a bit so she could sit on his lap and be able to be held. Kind of like hugging her. She sniffled again, snuggling up a little closer.
"Thank you..." She quietly said, the tears slowing down.
"Eh, don't mention it." He replied, a small smile on his face as he softly rubbed her back.
