Before the book club and the other events of Galaxy, there was music.

And basically, it does start with Luigi trying to be friendly with Bowser as to begin with his reform.

Luigi brings food. Bowser doesn't want it - thinks that Luigi is pitying him. Luigi waits. Bowser begins playing the piano as a distraction but then Luigi begins humming and you know what, Bowser actually doesn't hate it.

The first time they make music together, Bowser really likes it but he doesn't admit it out loud (yet). Luigi eventually keeps coming back for musical visits where the two of them will just have little sessions where they play together - Luigi singing/humming, and Bowser playing piano. (As well as Luigi bringing more food with recipes from his nonna).

Eventually, Bowser starts catching feelings and boy does he hattte it because no wayyyy is he falling for this guy. And he wants to kiss him and THINKS about kissing him but a) Luigi is giant and b) NO WAY.

But you know what, the size difference helps a bit because Luigi is sort of out of reach this way.

Then Luigi surprises Bowser one day by taking a blue mushroom! (Which Bowser doesn't really think twice about at first since you have to take damage for the effects to wear off).

He's like "Now we can hang out together without it being a little awkward!"

He wants a tour of the mini castle and everything, but most importantly - to make music. Together. Where they can be in the same room together, side-by-side without any extreme size differences due to only Bowser being under the effects of the blue mushroom.

This is a little one shot based on @gustygardns Diner AU should there ever be a rude customer that an anon asked about.
