Hello it's a pleasure to speak to you I am a big fan of your work!
I heard you write drabbles based on suggestions and if you would be up for it I would absolutely love to see the reunited after a long time prompt with the bros❤️🩹 but with a twist...... they were separated at birth and just realized they are meeting their twin brother for the first time, no need to dwell on things like how they were separated or how they reunited (however you have the creative liberty of course to decide that for yourself I just don't wish to make it difficult for you) I mostly just care about reading about the interaction itself and the thoughts behind it if that would be possible it would make me extremely happy 🥹
Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day/night
Hello, my dear. I’m really thrilled that you enjoy my stories, especially my drabbles. Of course I’m happy to fulfill your request. I love a bit of a challenge.
Based on this Drabble prompt list (I apologise for this but I can’t seem to attach hyperlinks):
Now I’m going to break the 100 word rule because I just couldn’t stop writing. So this will be instead just a short written piece of that scenario. I am also going to include references to my Mario and Luigi dog tags lore post to use as plot devices in this piece. Here’s the link:

I think you dears would be interested and please spread the word if I missed anyone out.
Aaand…so without further ado, please enjoy this short story on how I’d imagine it’d go and is not in the same continuity as my other stories. I hope you’ll enjoy, my dears….
Prompt: reunited after a long time apart
Pairing: Mario and Luigi
Luigi stares at the man in front of him…he looks just like him except he’s just a half a head shorter than him and his rotund stout build reminds him of a teddy bear. As he gazes at him, the younger man feels his heart ache in the most heartbreakingly pleasant way…it’s as if a giant piece is slotting back into his hollowed heart to make it whole again. Their eyes lock to each other’s necks…identical dog tag necklaces in golden and silver respectively…
The other man’s hands are trembling as he cups his hand over his golden pendants, his tearful eyes locking onto him…Luigi shivers under his intense stare…an expression filled with apprehension, fear…hope…and love…
“Nothing can hurt us as long as we’re together…”
Luigi gasps and fumbles with his silver pendants…no one else but him, his family and his beloved princess Daisy knows this particular sentence inscribed on his dog tags…all this time, those hazy dreams he has of this person saying this special creed…they are memories…they are real…without realising it, he responds back with its ending sentence.
“As long as we’re together, everything’s going to be okay…”
It suddenly clicks and Luigi finds himself running towards the other man. Images of them as babies laughing together…playing together…sleeping together…hugging together with unbridled happiness suddenly become vivid in clarity. This man before him has that same smile and the same happy gleam in his ocean blue eyes! It has to be him! His long lost big brother! He finds himself shouting at the top of his voice as he leaps towards him. A familiar name that just sprouts alongside his rejuvenated memories…
“MARIO!!”
The other man chuckles wetly with joy as he easily catches the younger man in his embrace and cups his wet face. He presses his forehead against his own, his tears mingling with his and their pendants brushing against each other…they collapse onto their knees, overwhelmed by a huge tsunami of emotions of this unexpected reunion.
“LUIGI!! My little brother!! I knew it wasn’t a dream!!”
Luigi responds by pressing his forehead harder and finds himself gripping a strong weathered hand, trapping their dog tags within their combined fists. The touch invigorates them and they feel something within them connect them together…pulling them into each other like a warm loving embrace. They both glance down at their necklaces and observe how the sun and moon pieces of their second tags slot together perfectly…all these long years apart filled with emptiness they can’t explain, they are back together as they are meant to be…they are brothers reunited at last…
“Big bro…” Luigi nuzzles against Mario as he buries his face against his neck, his heart impossibly fuller than never as he tightens his arms around his brother, “I missed you…”
It feels right saying it and he feels Mario’s arms squeeze him ever closer to him, so much so that their heartbeats pulse together as one through their chests. He feels chapped yet soft lips press a gentle kiss against his temple, sending welcoming warmth down his spine and he giggles at his brother’s bushy moustache tickling his skin.
“I missed you too, little bro…so so much…”
Luigi smiles happily through the last of his tears and reciprocates Mario’s tender gesture by bringing him back for another fierce hug as he kisses his cheek. They chuckle breathlessly as they help to wipe away each other’s tears with such tender care, wanting to imprint this moment of everlasting happiness of finding each other…
“I have so much to tell you, Mario…”
Mario’s chuckles are now full of mirth and joy, “I know, Lu…and so do I…we have all the time in the world to catch up with each other…”
“How about over dinner for a start, big bro?”
“That sounds good, little bro.”
They release their precious necklaces, having become more valuable and meaningful in their eyes…in the past, they are momentos of something missing in their lives…but they now are a symbol of their everlasting brotherhood…their fratellanza…the golden and silver tags gleam in the glow of the sunset.
Luigi tugs Mario’s hand and leads him back inside his house…a house that always felt half empty until now…his grip tightens on his brother.
“Welcome home, Mario…”
Mario’s weathered hand grips back just as tightly, his ocean blue eyes sparkling and his smile radiant like a Fire Flower.
“I’m home, Luigi…”
That felt good writing again even if it’s just a short piece to answer your request…I sincerely hope that this has lived up to your expectations. Thank you for the ask.
