“Not… advice per say” she said and sighed softly. She blushed, but gave him a small nod, and he sighed. He was looking at her with a sad but soft look in his face. “Until now?” Bowser completed her thought and she opened her eyes, looking at his small form pressed against the cage’s poles. “They never taught me about romantic love… and I never felt it…” “I only heard of romance through books the Toads found in the woods, probably coming from the pipes… from other worlds and other galaxies… Toads don’t really love like that you know? They don’t have much of a need for families… they are just one big… group, where everyone cares for each other” she sighed and closed her eyes, laying down on the ground. Peach sighed and leaned back against her hands, stretching her legs out in front of her, under the cage, looking up at the ceiling. “I never loved anyone… I don’t know… not like that… I love my toads, they are my family, and I love my kingdom and my home… but romantically…” “No I don’t” she said coldly, looking at him, before she sighed and looked down. “Yes I did… but you don’t love me back so…” “You… said… you loved me right?” she tilted her head and heard him humming above her.
“I…” she huffed and hugged her legs, her feet tapping on the ground. He was a bit taller than her like this but she didn’t care she didn’t want to look at him anyway. She groaned and sat down on the ground, crossing her legs. “No no no, please Peaches, what’s in your mind?” he asked, raising his eyebrow and wiggling it a little bit in a taunting manner. “If you’re going to keep making fun of me, I’ll leave.” “No! My kingdom is perfectly fine” she said annoyedly and looked at him, narrowing her eyes. “Oh Peaches! You make me laugh… let me guess, your kingdom is in ruins and you want to know how I managed to make mine so profitable and amazing?” “Advice?” he squeaked and laughed louder and she puffed her cheeks out in frustration. There was silence for a while, and then Bowser’s weird high pitched laugh. “I came here for advice!” she choked out, crossing her arms and looking at the wall next to her. Part of her was still shocked she had come all this way just to… ugh. “Then why did you come here? To make fun of me?” he asked and she shook her head. He pulled the mini piano seat towards the cage’s edge and sat down as she approached him slowly. “I doubt that” she turned to him and he shrugged. “I promise I will never try to destroy your kingdom if you let me go.” “Ah… make some deal?” he asked, and she heard the cage squeaking as he walked closer to her. It had her face on it… she always thought it was a bit weird. “No” she said coldly and walked around the cage towards the window on the other side of the room. She saw him combing his hair and getting himself more presentable and she was very… confused about it. Peach stared at him as she sighed and closed the door, deciding that yes, she was going to do this… as ridiculous as it was. “Princess!” she heard him squeak with his comically high pitched voice. Still, it was weird to come to him for advice. Nothing like the pit of lava he gave to his captives. She gave him a nice cage, food every day, and even a little piano to keep him company. The room was small, but well lit - she was keeping him locked up but she wasn’t a monster like him. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and opened the door. Well… that wasn’t exactly true, she had one other person she could ask but… A help she wouldn’t get from anyone else she knew. She couldn’t believe she was doing this, it sounded insane… but she needed help. She sighed softly as she stood in front of the door leading to the small room in front of her. ← Previous Work Part 8 of Peach confesses Stats: Published: Updated: Words: 17,808 Chapters: 8/?
