Bowser's POV

I was silently lying down in my bed. The storm seemed to have past by and the sun began to rise. While I've been up for at least a half an hour, I couldn't bring myself to move. 

Not because I didn't feel like it, but because Luigi was still silently resting on my chest. I couldn't help but smile at the sight of him resting. 

It's crazy to think that things were so different 3 weeks ago. I was so different 3 weeks ago.

Luigi has been nothing but kind to me since he got here. He never gave up on me even at my worst. 

He was so understanding and patient. Seeing how much he cared about me made me feel loved. The words he spoke to me last night stuck with me and for once, I actually felt excited being the king. I didn't feel lonely anymore.

Knowing that Luigi wanted to be here by my side and was going to keep helping me made me feel like I was wanted. The fact that he spent the whole night making sure I got rest let me know that I was loved by him. 

I had someone who I could depend on. I was no longer alone in ruling over this place. We'd be in this together.

From the way he spoke last night, he sounded like he wanted to stay here with me. Maybe there was a chance that he reciprocated the feelings I have for him. He means so much to me.

He was sweet, patient, and it felt like I could be honest with him about anything. I liked the way he comforts me in my times of need.

Whether it was him holding my hands, or him placing his soft hands upon my cheeks. I liked the way he would comfort me with his sweet words. 

 Being able to just lie here beside him and hold him close to me made me feel good. I just wish he knew how much he meant to me.

I lied down silently beside him until Luigi slowly started to wake up. He looked up, a smile immediately forming on his face. I couldn't help but smile staring into his drowsy yet beautiful blue eyes.

"Good morning Luigi." 

"Good morning. How did you sleep?" He asked as we sat up.

"It was the best sleep I had in a while." 

"That's good. You look well rested. Much better than you looked yesterday." 

"Yeah. Uh, thanks for spending the night with me. It was really nice having you here." I said.

"Of course." He smiled as he rubbed his drowsy eyes.

"Well how did you sleep Luigi?"

"I slept well. I guess you could say I was really..... warm?" He shrugged, trying to find the words to describe it.

"You weren't too hot were you? I know my body heats up pretty fast."

"N-no! Not at all!" He stammered seeming flustered."It was perfect. I felt very comfortable being cuddled by you. I'm not sure how to explain it but, I had this safe and secure feeling when you were holding me last night." He blushed with his arms crossed, seeming to have a hard time keeping eye contact with me.

"Oh, well I'm glad you felt comfortable around me." I scratched the back of my head, feeling flustered by his words.

He looked back up at me with a small smile before letting out a chuckle.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"I don't know. I guess I'm just thinking about how much has changed. I mean, we went from trying to freeze and burn each other to- Well, this." He said.
