#luigi asks

"Now, what the— How the fuck—"

Luigi twists and turns, his back facing the mirror as he tries to coat the last unpainted stretch of his skin in blue. He groans loudly in the living room, contorting his body in an attempt to get the brush to the middle of his back.

"Fuck," he mutters, struggling.

You roll backward in your desk chair, out of your room and into the common area.

"You good?" you ask, startling him.

"Shit—"

"Oh— Sorry, I thought you knew I was here."

Luigi exhales, catching his breath. "I thought you were already at the rally with Cassy. You're good."

"No, I stayed back to study. Sorry, Lu."

"You're good, you're good." He cracks a light smile.

Luigi is your roommate, along with two others. Your best friend, Cassy, is Luigi's best friend's sister. Before Penn, you and Cassy were dead set on rooming together. Her brother, Sam, mentioned he was looking into an apartment-style dorm with his best friend, Luigi, and now the four of you rent it together. Cassy and Sam are siblings, you and Luigi are their best friends. You and Luigi are friends and roommates to each other, but nothing more.

"You need help, though? I just heard you huffing and puffing."

Luigi chuckles, rolling his eyes. "Huffing and puffing, damn." He hesitates. "To be honest, yeah. This paint..." His words trail off into a sigh, admitting defeat.

"School spirit, am I right?" you say sarcastically, getting up and walking over.

Luigi laughs. "Yeah, yeah."

"Everything good?" you ask, noticing his short, semi-awkward answers.

"..Yeah, it's just all this twisting and turning..." He gestures to his lower back. "Y'know, spondy."

"Right, right." You sigh before holding out a hand. "Brush?"

He hands it over, and you step onto the towel he laid out. "You're such a nerd."

"For cleaning precautions? Do you want to scrape blue paint out of tile grout?"

You laugh. "Absolutely not."

"Exactly."

You shake your head, about to start painting, but then you pause. Up close, his back is broader than you realized, his physique stronger.

"Everything alright?" Luigi asks, noticing.

"Yeah... yeah," you chuckle awkwardly, brushing it off. Of course you've always known Luigi was attractive—anyone with eyes does—but you've always shrugged it off. No point in stirring up drama between roommates or complicating things with your best friends. Besides, you're all swamped with school 90% of the time anyway.

"Wait, wait. Before I get my hands dirty, do you want Advil for your spondy?" you ask.

Luigi chuckles.

"What?" you ask. "Did I say it wrong? Not cool enough for the medical slang?"

"No, no. It was just cute, the way you said it. I've never heard you say it before." He moves on quickly. "Uhh, yeah, actually. Thanks. I would get it, but—" He gestures to his feet.

"You fucking painted the bottom of your feet?" you ask.

"Well, no... but close enough. I'm scared to leave my towel island."

You giggle, shaking your head as you search through the medicine cabinet. "Holy shit, didn't know you're a druggie, Luigi."

He laughs. "Yeah, my back is a real addict."

"If any of these go missing, I definitely didn't sell them for noodle money."

"Honestly, a couple of those pills could probably get you about forty packs of instant noodles."

"I want the good stuff, y'know, Huang's Noodle House?" You close your eyes dramatically at the thought of your favourite spot.

"I didn't know you like Huang's." Luigi sounds genuinely interested. "We should go."

"Yeah, and Cassy and Sam—"

"Ehh, Sam doesn't really like noodles."

"Oh. Then Cassy... I'm not sure if she does, actually."

Luigi hums in thought. "We could just go, then." His voice is casual, but something about it lingers.

You pause, fingers wrapped around the Advil bottle. Then, shaking it lightly, you ask, "Is that an invitation?"

Luigi glances over his shoulder, smirking. "Only if you wanna go. Otherwise, you heard nothing."

You let out a small laugh, trying to ignore the way your stomach flips at the idea of going to Huang's alone with him. This is just food. Just noodles. Just roommates grabbing a bite.

"Why not?.." you say, tossing the bottle toward him. He catches it in one hand, shakes two pills out, and dry swallows them. "...If you're paying." you add. Luigi huffs a laugh. "Wow. First, you steal my drugs, now my money?"

"Roommate tax." You tap the paintbrush against your palm. "Alright, turn."

He shifts carefully, and you notice how aware he is of his movements. Cassy told you about his back, and while he never complains much, you've caught him stretching, adjusting his posture, rolling his shoulders when he thinks no one's looking.

Your eyes flicker down his back as you dip the brush into the blue paint. His broad shoulders. The way his muscles shift under his skin. The sharp, clean lines of his shoulder blades.

This is fine. Totally normal. Just painting your roommate blue.

You start with broad strokes, trying to be quick but even.

"How the hell did you do this last year?"

"Badly."

You laugh. "Why do you even do this?"

"Sam and I started first year, a few frat guys joined in, and now it's tradition. Plus, we always get free drinks."

"Ah, so it's a scam."

He grins. "A hundred percent."

You keep painting, working your way down his spine. His skin is warm under the paintbrush, and you have to focus hard to keep your strokes even.

"You're really dedicated to school spirit for someone who called our mascot 'a corporate sellout' last week."

Luigi laughs. "I stand by that. He's got three sponsorships, that's insane."

You shake your head. "Alright, turn a little, I gotta get this side." You tap his ribs lightly, and he follows your instruction. The movement draws your eyes to his jaw—strong, slightly stubbled.

You swallow.

What the fuck have I gotten myself into?

"So," he says lightly, "what were you studying?"

"Just some readings. Hard to focus."

"Yeah?" He smirks. "Because I'm here, or because you're thinking about noodles?"

You press the brush into his shoulder a little harder.

"Ow." He winces dramatically. "Abuse."

You snort. "You're literally covered in paint and complaining about a brushstroke?"

"Look, I'm delicate."

"You're insufferable."

He laughs, and you try to ignore the way your stomach flips again. You sigh, pulling back. "This brush is too small."

Luigi smirks. "You calling me fat?"

Your eyes widen. "What? No, you're just—" You pause. "Big."

Luigi blinks. "What?"

"Like... broad."

His smirk deepens. "You think I'm broad?"

You roll your eyes. "Objectively."

He chuckles, stretching slightly. "Use your hands. Might be easier."

Your hands?

You stare at his back for a second like it's suddenly an entirely different thing.

This is fine. Totally normal. Just painting your friend blue. With your hands.

Right.

"Okay," you say, a little too quickly, setting the brush down. You press your palms into the cool paint, spreading it across his back in slow, deliberate strokes. The texture is strange—thick, slightly tacky as it glides over his skin—but what gets you more is the warmth beneath it. His muscles shift slightly under your touch, solid and strong, and you have to focus hard to keep your movements steady. You let your hands glide from his upper back to his lower, fingers spreading the paint in slow strokes.

Luigi exhales, deep and slow. "You're being so gentle." His voice is teasing, but there's something else underneath it—something softer.

"I don't want to hurt you," you murmur. "Your back—"

"You're not hurting me." A pause. Then, with a slight turn of his head, he grins. "It's actually really nice."

You swallow, pressing your fingers into the dips of his shoulder blades, blending the paint with smooth, even pressure. The moment stretches, quieter now, filled only by the soft sound of your hands working over his skin. His breathing is steady, slow, like he's letting himself relax into it.

You clear your throat, "Well, I'm almost done. Just gotta make sure it's even."

Luigi hums in response, tilting his head slightly like he's considering something. "You're really good at this."

You scoff. "What, painting?"

He smirks. "Ever considered a career in body painting?"

You roll your eyes. "Didn't you know? That's why I'm at Penn."

His chuckle is low and warm, and you can't help but smile as you take a step back, running your eyes over your work. The blue paint covers his back smoothly, deep and even, accentuating the defined lines of his shoulders and spine.

"What do you think?" you ask.

Luigi twists slightly to check his reflection in the nearby mirror. "Damn," he smirks, flexing his arms just a little. "I look clean."

You roll your eyes but laugh. "Alright, you need help with anything else?"

He catches your gaze in the mirror, his smirk softening just slightly. "Nah, you've done enough. Seriously—thanks."

You wave a hand dismissively, suddenly feeling warm. "Yeah, yeah. Go win the school spirit award and drink cheap beer, or whatever."

Luigi snorts, then—before you can react—reaches over and swipes a blue-painted finger across your cheek.

"Hey—!" You gasp, stepping back as he grins mischievously.

"Oops," he says, absolutely not sounding sorry.

You narrow your eyes, pointing a warning finger at him. "You're dead."

Luigi just winks, stepping carefully off his towel island. "Catch me after the rally, then."

And with that, he grabs his shoes, flashes you one last playful grin, and heads out the door—leaving you standing there, heart pounding, with a blue streak on your face and a whole lot of thoughts you probably shouldn't be having.

part 2?😇😇

Thank you! 🙏 Quick reading I did ( I got the same/similar energy I’ve gotten in past readings from him in this regard ) I hope this answers most of the questions I’ve been getting in relation to him lol

Warning/Disclaimer: Only for entertainment purposes / all is alleged- take none of this as factual information.I simply read cards. Explicit content. ( not really lol, I kept it as classy as I could)

How he is in bed: main energy

Six of Cups

King of Wands

Page of Swords

To start off my interpretation of this is that he needs to set the mood and feel safe/ comfortable with the person he’s with. He likes feeling that bond closeness with his partner. Six of cups is all about nostalgia trust and warmth. So the overall atmosphere seems to be important for him. King of wands indicates passion/ confidence. Show off energy. Confident. This card reads as someone who may like to perform in bed , he wants his partners to think he’s good/ be remembered. Learning more towards taking the lead/ dominating. Ego is involved with this card. Full hands on passionate. Very present. Bold. Strong touch/ strong eye contact. Page of swords adds a bit of curiosity to this. He may like to experiment or learn his partner’a body and what they respond to most. Big student energy here. Observant. Can be a little awkward/ nervous energy because he may overthink on what to do/ watches for reactions a lot. Maybe prone to trying new moves or positions. Teasing/ playful energy. Mental stimulation.

What are his possible kinks:

Eight of Swords

King of Pentacles

The Lovers

Okay chill. Chill. I know you see eight of swords and are thinking bondage and restraints. And maybe he is because I did get that card like twice but eight of swords could also indicate mental restraint like subtle power dynamics and wanting your partner to surrender to you mentally/emotionally. He might be into mental dominance or liking the idea that his partner can’t stop thinking about him/ obsessed. But yes it can also mean bondage/ tied up/ blindfolded. Now with King of Pentacles this is more sensual energy, earthy vibes. Likely into long foreplay a lot? Again slow build up energy. Massages. Generous. Lots of sensual touches. Turned on when partner is turned on. Steady and slow. Strong eye contact. Whispers. Erotic. Again emphasis on control here too but more softer/sensual overall. The lovers again brings passion/ deep intimacy , could even mean he’s into transformative/ spiritual type of sex. Maybe high sex idk. Feeling like it’s fated/emotionally bonded. Raw and open mutual desire for each other. Could possibly signify a little forbidden taboo sex or “ we shouldn’t be doing this”. Complicated dynamics. Ride or die dynamics. Mutual pleasure. “ your pleasure is my pleasure” vibes.

Hey so Luigi has mario ever hurt you or someone else in that form like he lost control of his body even if it was an accident?

Luigi: "…"

Relationship Dynamic:

Eight of Pentacles

The Moon

Knight of Cups

- it seems like one person in this dynamic was likely putting in more work than the other, one sided effort. This also points to wanting to “fix” issues within the dynamic so perhaps one of them viewed the relationship as more of a project than anything. It could also point to the relationship in general needing constant improvement or I wonder if they repeatedly tried to fix things within it and stayed longer than they should’ve in it (?) . Overall it does point to a bit of imbalance here bc I am sensing one put more effort than the other to try and make it work.

- Lots of illusions, confusion and a bit of fantasy here. Could point to hidden stuff or hidden motives. Perhaps one of them or both were not fully honest about their feelings towards the relationship or towards each other (?) This to me feels like a relationship with no clear foundation or grounding, relied heavily on their feelings/general vibe to build it. Projection. I’m wondering if again one or both of them tended to project onto each other quite a lot or only saw what they wanted to see of each other . This is just foggy emotional energy, lots of misunderstanding perhaps or general confusion regarding this dynamic.

- the knight of cups is a pretty romantic & flirty card in this context. Points to romance, idealization and sweet gestures. So yes there was likely sweet moments here and an idealistic view of the connection but again this card isn’t necessarily serious. To me it reads as more lighthearted and fling energy, something wasn’t fully established or perhaps with no clear expectations/future. Acting on feelings in the moment and not exactly long term. Emotional inconsistency.

How Luigi felt/viewed Kaitlyn:

The Sun

Queen of Wands

Six of Swords

-The sun here is pretty positive and warm, it’s clear he was fond of her & likely associated her with warm/ happiness. Again a very lighthearted feeling. However the sun here also points to ego so I do think she boosted his ego a lot and he enjoyed how she made him feel about himself. His confidence was very high with her. A genuine fondness here. He likely had a lot of fun with her and she made him feel lighter all around.

- queen of wands to me here reads as pure physical attraction. This has been stated before with how much it seems like they had a lot of sexual chemistry and this card here confirms it. He was very drawn to her entire vibe and physical appearance, he likely saw her as confident/magnetic and something about her stood out to him. She likely had a strong presence to her or atleast that’s how she came off to him. Very attracted her to her.

- this is where it goes downhill, six of swords to me coming out at the end here makes me think that while he was very fond of her & obviously attracted, there’s an emotional distance here. this card in this context is all about creating distance and accepting what can’t be fixed, moving to calmer waters. it’s likely that he either never was that emotionally involved to begin with or that by the end he was just completely detached. I’m kinda leaning towards he was never that emotionally attached to begin with due to the other cards I pulled later in the reading. But yes there was a clear detachment here from him, this isn’t someone who was overly attached on an emotional level to her.

How Kaitlyn felt/ viewed Luigi:

Ten of Cups

The Hanged Man

Ten of Wands

- remember when I said Kaitlyn probably viewed him as a pretty ideal partner long term? Yeah this card pretty much confirms it. There was a lot of idealization from her towards him. I wonder if she was viewing him from an almost sort of pedestal to some degree ? Or just through rose colored lenses in general. She may have hyper focused on some of his most positive traits &/or chose to view him from a pretty romanized version she thought he could be. Since the ten of cups shows a family , I also do wonder if she thought he could potentially be someone she could build a future/ a family with at some point (?) Either way I think she for sure cared deeply about him at one point and he hit a lot of emotional points for her.

- the hanged man here ties into this, because of how much she likely idealized him she might’ve often felt like she was waiting for him to fulfill that future ideal partner she had viewed him as . She was waiting for him to step up to something or to show a deeper understanding of the relationship, possibly more committed (?) some type of clarity that she needed. But he likely wasn’t taking action at all. This is feeling stuck/ stagnant energy, waiting on something that never comes. It can also point to a bit of sacrificial energy from her , I wonder if she sacrificed her time/needs a lot for him (?) maybe put her life on pause to cater to him or the relationship while he seemed more passive/ focused on his own issues/life.

- ten of wands here confirms to me that she was very likely the one that was putting in the more effort in this dynamic ( remember the eight of pentacles in the beginning that described it as likely one sided in terms of effort ) . She was carrying some significant emotional load here & she was exhausted. This connection eventually became quite heavy for her & drained her by the end. She likely felt burdened by a lot of responsibility or carrying the weight of the connection. This also could mean that she viewed him as someone with lots of baggage and he may have stressed her out in general.

Why the relationship ended:

The Empress

The Devil

The Lovers

- yeah one of the factors of this relationship ending could’ve been Kaitlyn realizing she was pouring more into this relationship and wanting better for herself. The empress is very nurturing energy here and this could’ve signified how Kaitlyn was in the beginning of the dynamic, someone who was very emotionally nurturing towards him and gave a lot of herself to him. Likely even at the risk of becoming a sort of therapist for him at some point (?) or just someone presenting themselves as quite healing/patient. Again points to her sacrificing her own needs for him. However by the end she likely began to feel very frustrated with not receiving that same energy back and him not wanting to likely deepen the relationship/ meeting her needs. This points to her thinking she deserved better & getting sick of it eventually.

- the devil here points to how the relationship likely turned toxic because of this imbalanced energy in the dynamic of one person giving much more than the other. I want to clarify this doesn’t mean abusive but that it simply could’ve turned into just general toxic behavior from one or both of them. Maybe unhealthy attachments/ codependency, power imbalances, manipulation. Staying because something feels intense/ obsessive but not because it’s healthy or productive. I asked for some clarification for this card and I pulled nine of cups and king of pentacles so again this definitely points to toxicity formed due to Kaitlyn giving a lot more in the relationship ( king of pentacles is likely Luigi) this is someone unwilling to change in the dynamic, stubborn energy , he’s getting the benefits of it ( ego boost, emotional comfort and stability from her ) he sits on the throne. Her likely becoming dependent on him to some degree, she orbited him.

-the lovers here at the end just signifies to me the relationship itself ending, especially since the devil came before it. This is them at moral / emotional crossroads. A decision point. This relationship ended with someone finally choosing to walk away from it & realizing it wasn’t going anywhere /didn’t align with their future. Ending something that doesn’t serve you anymore and isn’t good for you.

What were the main issues in their relationship?:

Ace of Wands

Nine of Pentacles

Judgement

- ok so this is pretty straight forward with the ace of wands being the first card, one of the main issues in this dynamic was how the relationship itself was built. It seems like it was mainly driven by lust/ physical chemistry than anything. There wasn’t enough emotional foundation. This is excitement, impulsivity & passion. They likely got together very impulsively and maybe even moved pretty quickly in the relationship but this energy is prone to fizzle out just as quickly without any grounding or emotional support. This a dynamic built on sexual chemistry that can override red flags presented early on. Again this is similar to what I’ve said in previous asks, it seems like they were very compatible on a physical level but it didn’t seem like the connection was built for long term stability.

- nine of pentacles here is interesting lol. I think this points to Luigi in a pretty obvious way. This is someone too independent to merge lives with another. He likely struggled a lot with vulnerability ( well ..obviously he struggles with it in general I believe ) and dependence.He doesn’t like depending on someone else or feeling like he needs anyone else. There’s a focus here on personal comfort/ self-image. Someone who is very focused on their own self and maybe even a bit self centered to a degree. Again this someone who was likely enjoying the benefits of a relationship but mentally he was operating on a very independent, dare I say, single mindset. Very much “I like you and I like this but my life is still mine, the decision is still mine” . So yes another big issue here points to his need for independence at this time in his life taking priority over a partnership.

-judgement here brings a wake up call or a realization within the relationship. They were likely dealing with these same type of issues for a while and those problems were finally brought to the surface for a revaluation. They kept hitting the same issues, repeating the same old wounds/ old patterns. To me this also reads as someone or both of them might’ve started to feel judged or criticized , or even pressured to become “better”. They could’ve likely started becoming critical of each other too. Just in general this points to the relationship itself forcing them to confront the reality of their actions and what they had been avoiding.

Does Luigi still think of Kaitlyn? :

Seven of Cups

King of Pentacles

Two of Wands

- kinda ? But more of in a nostalgic way than obsessive way. She doesn’t likely haunt his mind but he thinks of her in random moments when he’s recalling his life in general & likely associates her with some good/warm memories. This card deals with daydreams , fantasy mental wandering in this contexts so he maybe fantasizes about how things could’ve been if things had gone differently. Since it’s the seven of cups , this also could point to she’s one of the many thoughts in his mind, one of the many ‘cups’ so she’s mixed in there with many of his other memories with other people and situations. This also means there’s a bit of confusion when he thinks of her at times or doesn’t exactly know how to feel.

- yeah he’s not spiraling about her , knight of pentacles here is pretty stable and practical energy. I don’t think he’s obviously forgotten about her completely so she still might have made a significant impact on his life but this card doesn’t point to him dwelling about it constantly. It’s kinda more so he realizes what she was in his life and stores it away in an archive in his mind. I’ve said this before I believe but I don’t think he’s the type to go back to exes or revisit old relationships much, atleast I don’t think he has a habit of doing that. He seems to like to keep chapters closed.

- two of wands confirms this, this is all about future thinking and looking forward. he may consider her now just part of his old life and old self, he again may have occasionally think of the what if scenarios of his future if things have gone differently but it’s not something he’s stuck on. It’s like he thinks about different routes and different people in his life in general as self reflection, not particular stuck on her in specific. Looking at new horizons. She’s not chaining him down in terms of thoughts.

Did Luigi love Kaitlyn ? :

Eight of Swords

Queen of Pentacles

Knight of Wands

- there’s too much emotional blockage here with the eight of swords. This is someone who’s not allowing himself to even go down that path, restricted feelings. Even if he did feel some sort of spark, he didn’t let himself indulge in it or let it grow into something deeper. Mental chains. He was trapped in his own mind, afraid of vulnerability/commitment. So no, this isn’t a love card, doesn’t mean he didn’t care for her but he definitely was too emotionally blocked to feel anything close to love. Too stuck in fear, guilt and mental chaos. Rigid energy in terms of emotional availability.

-however, he did likely see her as someone very nurturing and warm. Someone comforting and reliable for him. The queen of pentacles here can be seen as very motherly energy or even wife material to some degree so he did view her as someone that was valuable and emotionally dependable. This card does show there was affection here for her and he likely might’ve even felt like he didn’t deserve this type of affection from her. But yes I do sense he did care for her and viewed her very warmly in general.

-knight of wands here shows up as sexual energy, again impulsive and passion driven. Fast, chaotic. This either signifies again that the relationship was mainly sexual/ passion filled for him or it signifies himself as the one who was the more inconsistent, passion driven one in the relationship while she was the more grounded/ nurturing one. So even if he did feel something deeper at one point, he never acted on it and his actions were centered on the physical connection and spontaneous energy the dynamic carried. Very sexually driven.

Sure thing! This is the spread I pulled.

The high priestess

King of pentacles ( reversed)

Five of swords

To me this reads as someone who’s initially pretty closed off and detached in the beginning stages of a relationship. It seems like it may take a while for him to fully loosen up or feel safe sharing feelings/any vulnerability. This energy feels rigid. King of pentacles is interesting, since it’s in reverse this could point to control issues or just a tendency towards imbalance in relationships. Maybe he gives too much or too little at times which can be confusing or seen as inconsistent. Or perhaps he can hyper focus on certain aspects of a relationship while neglecting others. Five of swords could indicate someone who may have a bit of argumentative streak or simply that he may struggle with communication at times. It could also suggest someone who’s prideful and doesn’t like to lose arguments.

I asked for some clarification and pulled these two cards.

Four of swords

Queen of swords

How Luigi shows affection:

Strength ( got this twice )

Justice

Six of Wands

It’s leaning heavily towards acts of service/practical ways. Strength can represent showing care in quiet ways, like being your “rock” or shoulder to lean on. Being the stable person in his partners life, handling tough issues for them Practical provider vibes. Justice can lean towards him showing equal effort in things/ can tie into the acts of service . Perhaps equally splitting responsibilities or chores, balancing effort and accountability. Six of Wands could also represent he likes to ‘hype up’ his partner for their achievements, publicly praising/ defending his partner. Having their ‘back’ in social situations or just supporting them in public in general.

How he handles breakups:

The World

Seven of Swords

Ten of cups/ Nine of Pentacles

Yeah I’m not getting he lingers breakups with this spread. The world suggests he likes to know when things are finished for good or have clear endings, he doesn’t like leaving things open? Definitely leans more to cutting ties or closing the chapter ( returning things, getting rid of any lingering memories or objects perhaps ) Seven of cups could lean towards gradual distance/ calculating his exit. He probably may be prone to ghosting or just slowly cutting contact after/ close to a breakup. He doesn’t handle pain outwardly so this card could also suggest he suffers in silence even if the breakup affected him heavily, his partner probably wouldn’t know. Handles feelings in private. Could dodge confrontation as well. The ten of cups and nine of pentacles give me two messages, with the ten of cups he likely does not like messy breakups ( especially publicly) so tends to leave things in a cordial manner. Atleast to the public eye, he wants to remain polite/ respectful. No slandering of his ex partners or anything like that. Nine of pentacles means after break ups he kinda resorts back to his strong independent streak and focuses on himself/ inner work and routines. Curates a healthy and put together image.

How he is in long distance relationships:

Five of Wands

Five of Cups

The Magician
