Luigi, My Brother - Chap. 6

     Luigi stood in the shower, and he let the warm water relax his body. His shoulders were spread out and his head was tilted back. His wet hair glistened from the lights of the bathroom. He could feel the tension being pulled off of him.  He inhaled the hot steam, and exhaled out the problems within. He began to drift to a different place; a place where he was worshiped. A place where he was appreciated. A place where no foul beast or demon could get passed the Kingdom he so protected to his death. He smiled and chuckled slightly. He then opened his eyes, which resulted in being filled with hot water in a matter of 3 seconds.

     "Geeeeoww!!" Luigi yelped. He rubbed his eyes with a nearby washcloth and blinked a few times to make sure his eyes worked properly again.

     Luigi curiously peeked over at some body wash on the side of the shower. He reached for it and held it up to his face so he could read the label. "Hm," he thought, "'A Girl's Pleasure', eh? We'll see about that." He smirked to himself while opening the cap and squirting a few drops into his hands. He put the bottle down and rubbed the soap between his hands and spread it over his body, making sure it covered every inch. As he finished, he smelled himself, and made a disgusted face.

     "Eww," he complained, "I smell like a girl! This isn't guy's body wash!" He quickly washed off the excess soap. "But then again, is there even a guy's body wash at all?" he wondered. "Yeah, I guess I walked into that one..."

     Seeming undesirable to the shower once and for all, he turned the shower knob, and the water stopped flowing. He let his hair drip water for a second or two, and shook his head so the water would stop. He raised one foot out of the shower, onto the floor of the bathroom. As he raised his other foot, he slipped out of control, and fell on his chest onto the bathroom floor.

     "Geez, what else is gonna happen? Am I gonna break my leg next?" he asked himself. He pushed his naked body up to his feet and walked to the countertop, where he stepped onto a rug. He looked down, smiled, and wiggled his toes, knowing that he was secure this time. There was nothing like walking on a soft rug after a shower, especially a custom one for the princess... it felt like heaven.

     He looked at himself in the mirror. Some wet brown hair, a wet mustache, a big round nose, and a pair of large blue eyes stared back at him. He reached for his towel and began to dry off his body. He only rubbed his 'stache dry for a few seconds before it became poofy again. He then put down his towel and reached for his underwear. As he picked them up, he groaned inside; they had little mushrooms and stars all over them. What was he, five? He didn't remember wearing these pair on that so-called "adventure"...

     He put those and his socks on rather quickly, and poked his head out through his shirt. Just as he reached for his overalls, he looked over and noticed that they had vanished. All he reached out for was a white marble countertop.

     "Oh no!" Luigi said to himself, "Where are my overalls? They were right here! I remember seeing them!" He looked under the countertop, on the shower rack, and even in the shower itself, but no overalls did he find. "Aw man! Those were my lucky pair, too!"

     He opened the bathroom door slightly, just so his head could be seen, "Daisy? Are you there?" He heard giggling down the hallway, but no answer otherwise. "Daisy, do you have my overalls?"

     "Maybe," she answered. Although she spoke, she was not visible to Luigi. She must've been hiding, he thought.

     "Well...can I have them?" Luigi asked.

     "Sure," she replied, "But you'll have to find me, first!"

     Luigi's eyes widened, then he looked down at himself, "But I'm in my underwear!!!"

     Daisy giggled and finally said, "That's only part of the fun!" The only thing he heard after that was the scurrying of her feet, most notably her socks.

     Luigi sighed and opened the bathroom door slowly. He looked down once more and thought to himself, this is ridiculous! Chasing a Princess around in my underwear. What am I, a pervert? Nevertheless, unless he wanted to look like a fool (which by this point he probably already did), he had to search for Daisy and his missing overalls.
