your day so far has been going very well. it started off with you waking up not as early as you would have liked, getting ready in a hurry and leaving without having breakfast, and then you were almost late to your meeting. now, happy that it was finally over, you were getting excited for lunch, considering all the possible food options in the area.

you got on the elevator, barely even noticing a guy getting on after you. you pressed the first floor button absentmindedly, and he must have been going to the same level, because he didn't press another button.

in your peripheral vision, you could see him giving you a once over, but you were too busy with your thoughts to get a better look at him. you were almost fully decided with getting japanese food for lunch, when the elevator started weirdly shaking.

you brushed it off at first, but then the lights started blinking, too, and the elevator came to a halt. it stopped sharply, so much that you lost your balance and you bumped into the guy who was there with you. he gentlemanly tried steadying you with his hands, and after you've caught your balance again, you finally took a look at him.

"sorry, i'm... what's going on?" you've asked, so very confused.

the man tried pressing the buttons, to no avail. they were no longer lit up and they weren't reacting at all.

"power outage, maybe?" he took out his phone from the pocket of his slacks. "do you have any service?"

"no, nothing," you've checked your phone as well.

getting stuck in an elevator has never happened to you before, and you were hoping it would stay that way as it seemed like something from your worst nightmares. 

and yet there you were: the elevator stopped between floors, and you were stuck inside it with some random guy for god knows how long. it sounded like a scene from a really bad movie, and you couldn't believe that it was your reality, adding to your already bad day.

"does that mean that we can't call for any help?" you've asked him again, trying to make it seem like you're not panicking too much.

"we can't, but i'm sure they will notice that the elevator is not working and they will find us."

it didn't sound right to you at all. not only stuck, but also with no way to call for help? your vision started blurring, your breathing getting heavier.

"hey, hey, it's okay. breathe," the man said to you, noticing you were getting anxious.

"i'm just. what if no one finds us? what if we're going to be stuck in here for a really long time? what if we have to pee? are we going to run out of air soon?" you were blurting all possible things that came into your panicked mind one after another, forgetting that you didn't even know the guy.

"please breathe. deep breaths for me," he said again, and you were trying very hard to listen, leaning back on the wall of the elevator and closing your eyes, letting out ragged breaths through your nose. the reality of being stuck in a confined space for god knows how long started hitting you hard.

"they will notice. i'm sure they will. this is a very busy building. they probably noticed already. they will call someone, and we will get out very soon, i'm sure of it," his voice, deep, low, and sultry, sounded like the most soothing thing in the world right now.

you've opened your eyes to take a look at him. his face was inches from yours, and he was looking at you with furrowed eyebrows, clearly concerned.

only now you were starting to notice how handsome he was. his hair was dark and curly, and he seemed to be freshly shaved but the shadow of some dark stubble was already showing on his skin. he was much taller than you, buff and broad, and nice muscles seemed to pack under his dress shirt.

"and we won't run out of air. i promise, i'm an engineer. a computer engineer, but still," he smiled at you. he looked so beautiful when he smiled that it almost took your breath away, and you were trying very hard to remember how to breathe in the first place.

"my name is luigi," he said. "we're probably going to be here for a little while, so we might as well get to know each other."

"getting stuck in an elevator was not a part of my plan for today," you've answered. looking at how gorgeous luigi was and how buff his arms were calmed you down and made you feel a bit better about your current predicament.

"it wasn't a part of my plan either, but i'm sure we'll be fine. are you feeling better now? you worried me there for a second," he continued the conversation.

"yes, i'm sorry. i got a bit freaked out. i do hope that they will get us out soon," you've answered. your heart melted a bit hearing that the handsome stranger was worried about you.

"they will, i promise. if getting stuck in the elevator was not your plan, then what was?" he asked.

"i was just getting to lunch. there's this nice japanese place nearby and i..."

"yes, i know it," he interrupted you, all excited. "they have these lunch sets and they're really good, i go there often."

"yes! i always get the one with karaage chicken."

"no way! me too, that's my favourite one," he said.

you smiled at him, mirroring his grin, his excitement over your fellow love for the japanese restaurant so adorable.

he was cute. undoubtedly cute. both cute and handsome. he had long eyelashes and sparkly brown eyes, his curls were falling on his forehead, his nose was… really big, and your sight couldn't help but drop down to his lips. they were pink and thick, and they looked as if he could be a really nice kisser. you also noticed how big his hands were, and you wondered how they would feel touching you.

he seemed to be eyeing you as well, awkward silence falling between you two. you both were glancing in each other's direction without saying anything.

"so, um...," he cleared his throat, "i have another meeting soon, but i don't know if i will make it on time. i would love to join you for lunch, though," he looked down, shyly, his cheeks dusted in pink that matched the colour of his lips.

"i... i would love that too. maybe some other time, then," you've answered.

"some other time, yes," he raised one of his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously.

"in the meantime, maybe..." you started talking, and then drifted off.

"wanna make out to pass the time?" you decided to be bold and go for it. he already expressed some interest in you, you were stuck in this elevator which was already weird enough, why not get some advantage out of it by kissing a handsome stranger?

normally, you would never think of asking someone you've just met to make out with you, but nothing about this situation was normal. the attraction between the two of you in that broken elevator was hanging in the stale air.

luigi paused and looked at you, curious, doing a cute tongue in cheek expression.

"i'm... are you sure?" he asked, licking his lips.

"yes," you replied. "i'm already bored, we can at least make the time count."

he approached closer, caging you with his body against the wall, and put his hands on either side of your waist. you circled your arms around his broad shoulders in response.

the warmth was radiating off his body, adding to the already stuffy and humid air in the closed elevator. his warmth and how hard his muscles were felt really comforting.

luigi kissed you, very softly at first, almost as if testing if you would change you mind. only after you've reacted enthusiastically, he got bolder. 

his kisses were getting more and more desperate, and he slowly parted your lips with his tongue. he really was a great kisser, just as you suspected.

you were making out passionately using your tongues now, right there, in the broken elevator, your flavoured lip balm making your kisses taste like blueberries.

luigi’s big hands were holding on to your waist tightly, almost as if you would turn out to be a dream and disappear on him, but he didn't want to let you go. his thumbs were rubbing slow circles into your sides, and all of sudden you heard noises coming out from the outside.

you parted reluctantly, and the noises didn't stop - someone must have been fumbling with the elevator on the floor above you.

you looked at luigi and his lips were red and bitten, wet with spit and shiny with leftover lip balm of yours, his cheeks coloured angry pink. and you must have been looking just as bad yourself. on top of that, if you weren't mistaken, his pants were slightly tenting, too.

you looked at each other and started giggling, as it would be very obvious to anyone seeing you right now what you've been up to. 

the elevator door finally opened, right above you. the repairmen, two of them, took a look inside.

"you okay in there?" one of them asked. "we're gonna need you to pull yourself up a little. sir, can you help the lady? then we're going to help her get up here."

you were going to protest because you weren't some damsel in distress that needed to be saved. you could have perfectly pulled yourself up alone, finally putting the hours you've spent at pilates classes to good use, thank you very much. 

before you were able to say anything, luigi put his big hands on your hips and lifted you up, almost effortlessly, and helped you get on the higher level of the opened elevator door.

he was so strong and manly that it would be a lie to say that it didn't make you horny. the way he lifted your entire body just like that caused a rush of heat to go straight into your lower belly.

the repairmen helped you get up on the floor above, and while you were securely on the ground luigi pulled himself up too. you both thanked the repairmen for saving you, and you went in the direction of the staircase to get downstairs. 

"see, i told you," he said, when you were on the first floor, about to leave the building. "it wasn't so bad in there, was it?" 

"it was pretty nice, i must admit," you looked up at him, happy to finally be rescued from the confinement of the elevator.

"would you mind giving me your number? maybe i could take you out on a real date sometime. and we could continue what we've started in there," he smirked, unlocking his phone and handing it to you.

"yes, i would be happy to," you replied, putting your number in his phone along with your name. 

"thank you. i have to run now, but i will see you soon. enjoy your lunch," luigi said.

you really didn't want to see him go, and it seemed he was feeling the same, because he lingered in place for a little while longer looking at you and pursing his lips. 

finally, you said your goodbyes and he left. you were hoping with your entire being he's going to give you a call as soon as possible because of horny he made you, and also because of how kind and handsome he was.

💘 He doesn’t announce that he’s taking care of you. He just… does. Suddenly there’s water next to you. Suddenly you’re wrapped in a blanket. Suddenly the lights are dimmer. Like magic.

💘 He’s not big on empty reassurance. “You don’t have to be okay right now” is probably one of the most comforting things he’s ever said to you.

💘 It’s honestly insane how much he remembers. Your coffee order at three different places. The vitamins you buy. Which mug you always reach for first. Half the time he remembers your preferences before you do.

💘 He’s very touchy. He’s always touching you if he’s around. A hand on your waist in the kitchen while you’re making breakfast. Holding your hand when you cross the street. Legs touching when you sit somewhere. Hand on your thigh while he drives.

💘 He has very grounding energy. Anytime you’re upset or tired he’s there to help and genuinely wants to help with anything you’re struggling with.

💘 Food is one of his love languages. He loves making you dinner. He relishes hearing you praise his cooking. It makes him blush sometimes too.

💘 One day you realize you’ve never walked on the traffic side of the sidewalk when he’s with you. He switched places so naturally you never even noticed.

💘 When you go out to eat, he orders for you. Not in a patriarchal or controlling type way. But he knows what you like and is really good at picking for you. And he usually get’s something you want to try so you eat some of his too.

💘 Luigi will help you beat bosses in video games, but he won’t do it for you because “That’s cheating, you can do it! I believe in you!”

💘You never have to carry anything, but Luigi will put his stuff in your bag and then carry it for you. 🤣

💘 Luigi loves animals. Anytime he sees literally any animal, he’s yelling, “LOOK! ITS A (animal)!” He loves your pets and considers them his children as well.

💘 He never makes you feel like you’re talking too much. Tell him about your day, your hobbies, workplace drama, your newest hyperfixation, your celebrity crush—he wants to hear all of it. And in return, you find yourself genuinely invested in whatever book he’s reading, game he’s playing, or project he’s working on. Loving each other means caring about the things the other person cares about.

💘 Luigi has strong opinions about oddly specific things. Not important things. Things like chairs. Or the optimal spoon size. Or which grocery cart is the best grocery cart.

💘 He reads reviews before buying literally anything. One day you ask for a new toaster and discover he’s spent three hours researching toaster technology.
