the bros’ first adventure together!

56. Would you just hold still?

How could you call yourself a Mario brother?

Mario and Luigi were in hiding, preparing to time their strike against the enemy. Up until now, Luigi didn’t even know how he was still alive. He felt like he’d half-assed the entire adventure, just barely dodging attacks, getting hits, or Mario saving him at the last second. He wouldn’t even blame Mario if he was fed up by him.

This is why he leaves you at home. You’re too accident prone. You’re always endangering the both of you.

The only other adventure Luigi had been on was that unsettling mansion a while back. He tried using the same coping mechanism to calm his nerves throughout the journey — humming — but unfortunately, it only worked within the so-called comfort of a home. Instead, he was left with trembling beside Mario, clutching his head in a desperate attempt to ground himself while Mario, always so brave, looked on for danger or their target.

Stop shaking, stop whimpering, stop being a coward. Just hold still! Hold still, hold still, hold still, hold-

Luigi’s inner voice was interrupted when he felt familiar hands cover his own. Gently, those hands turned his head so their foreheads could press together. That was all it took for Luigi to settle — familiarity, warmth, solidity. After a few deep breaths, the brothers simultaneously opened their eyes, both mirroring the alertness for the current situation, but the overriding gentleness and love felt for each other.

We’ll be okay, as long as you’re with me.

They parted a few seconds later, sharing a firm nod before heading into battle.
