Peach Angsts
(A/N): Sometimes I get in BxP moods that reading fanfics I've already read or writing the slow-moving CoH where it currently is can't satisfy. I get tempted to write drabbles, but rarely do. This is a rare occasion that I did, originally with the intent of adding it to CoH. It's really vague for that purpose...I wrote it months ago. Kind of more like a deleted scene than outtake, but should satisfy any flangst needs one finds oneslef in. ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own Bowser, Peach, or Mario. No one else gets mentioned, mwahaha.
"Bowser?"
Bowser turned around to face the speaker. Peach stood there, looking sadly at her gloves. She looked up again to see him and Bowser could see her eyes shining with tears. Bowser stood up and rushed over to her, putting out his arms to embrace the princess.
In a flurry of emotion, Peach tried to rush back and collapsed into Bowser's arms. She buried her face in his arms as he balanced her. "Bowser?" she repeated, voice cracking.
Bowser tried to smooth out Peach's hair as she inhaled his scent and buried herself further in his arms. "What is it, princess?"
Peach looked up into his loving eyes, searching for the reason for her tears. Eyes glistening, she whispered, in the strongest voice she could, "Do you love me? I.I need to know if you love me."
Bowser started to smile, running his claws through her luscious hair. "More than-"
"No," Peach stopped him. "I don't need romantics. I.I just need to know.need to hear.do you love me?"
Bower bent down and lightly kissed Peach's forehead. "Yes, Peach, I do."
Peach started to smile, but pain stung her heart. No. This wasn't good; this wasn't what she came for. Yes. Yes it was what she came for, but it wasn't what was good for her. She was killing herself by being in his arms. Peach tore her eyes from Bowser's, clenching them closed and burying her face into Bowser's chest. She began to sob.
Bowser's heart clenched. He didn't know what was going on in Peach's mind, but he didn't like her crying. "Peach," he whispered as she clutched herself to his body. "Please don't cry. You hurt me when you cry. I love you."
The words burned Peach as her heart filled with the happy little bubble. This was torture- no, it was worse than torture. As Peach sobbed, her cries muffled in Bowser's chest, the koopa muttered, "Please, please.", begging her to halt her cries, but as much as Peach wanted to, the more he softly, lovingly, cooed for her to help him, the less she could.
Her voice cracking with emotion and tears, Peach cried out, "He doesn't love me, he doesn't love me.Oh, Bowser, he doesn't love me."
"Who?" Bowser muttered in Peach's ear, "I love you." He held his princess tight, trying to ignore the pangs of jealousy searing through his whole body.
Peach's fingernails dug into Bowser's chest as she tried to steady herself against him. She didn't know if his presence, his love, was helping or hurting her. "I don't love him!" She cried, "He doesn't love me and I don't love him! I don't want him, I don't.want him. I need something else.I.I."
Peach sobbed miserably as Bowser rubbed her back. "You what?" He softly asked in her ear, his lip brushing against her earring.
Peach pulled back and looked into Bowser's eyes. "I." Peach gulped and looked away. "I can't be here. I can't. I.just can't." She tried to break out of Bowser's grasp, but his hold was firm. "Bowser," she started, her voice cracking as she tried to hold of sobs. "Bowser, let me go."
"No, Peach, I love you. I won't ever let you go."
Peach sniffed and felt another sob racking through her body. "Bowser," she shouted as loudly as she could in her state, "let me go!" Peach pulled painfully against his grasp, and Bowser released her.
"I.I'm sorry, Peach." He whispered as she tried to gain composure, trying to will herself to move. "I love you. I'm sorry. But.I love you."
Flangsty enough for ya? :P I actually really like the writing, but this would never fit in the story, hahaha. And it has no point, except it did get me over my BP withdrawl I had when I wrote it. ;) Hope ya liked it to- say so by hitting "contact us" and following ideas in the profiles!
