Nintendo High Drabble — Supportive Squad

After seeing this episode of Nintendo High, a single thought kept racing through my mind…

Wow, those 3 are the untilmaye hype-squad! I wonder if Nastasia actually did her job as a guidence counciler normally if she could have introduced them to Luigi normally?

And so here we are!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“D-Do you ever wish you were someone else?” Luigi asked, tearfully. “Anybody else? Anybody but…Well, you know.”

“You?” Nastasia, Nintendo High’s Guidence Councler, raised an eyebrow.

Luigi nodded, sniffling a little.

Nastasia nodded understandingly. “You’re not the only one to have felt that way, believe me. There are hundreds of students I speak to everyday about the exact same subject. You are not alone.”

“I-I wanna be cool and brave, just like my brother Mario!”

Nastasia stood from her desk, gesturing for Luigi to follow her out of the office.

Luigi’s hands gripped the strips of his backpack tightly, as Nastasia led him through the empty halls of Nintendo High. It was eerily quiet, as classes were in session and the only people roaming the halls were a student or two taking bathroom breaks or using a hall pass. Luigi himself was missing Geography class with Mario, but Nastasia assured him he would be excused and offered an extension on any missed assignment. The only question left was: where was Nastasia taking him?

“You’re probably wondering where we’re going,” Nastasia said, as if she had read his mind. Maybe she had.

Luigi nodded nervously.

“Everyone is special, Luigi. And everyone has amazing qualities to them, valuable qualities. But sometimes we just can’t see them outselves.”

“R-Really?”

“You said you want to be Cool and Brave like your brother, correct?”

Luigi nodded.

“Well it seems to me that you already are, and so much more! You just can’t see it. And from what you told me you don’t have anyone to help you see it either.”

Luigi was very lonley. While he had Mario, and Mario had loads of friends himself, Luigi had no one. He liked Daisy(really liked her)but didn’t want to be vunerable with his insecurities with her. He wanted to impress her not give her reasons to dislike him.

Nastasia and Luigi began to approach the door to a gym. It was a much smaller gym than the main one, used for storage for sports equipment and afterschool sports practice like wrestling. It wasn’t likely to be hosting a class during the school day, but there was a loud pounding noise being heard from inside. 

“Well I’d like to introduce you to some students I think could really benefit you. And you them!” Nastasia smiled.

“H-How?” Luigi flinched as the pound was heard again. He didnt want to get beat up by more bullies.

“You see, the 3 students in here are incredibly confident and self assured. And I just know they could help you see the best of yourself and build you’re confidence!” Nastasia put a hand on Luigi’s shoulder. “But they lack simple paitence, and polite speaking. Not to say they are cruel or mean, just the opposite! They just come off that way due to a lack of manners. I believe you could help them in that catagory. See?”

Luigi nodded. “I-I’ll do my best, Nastasia!”

“Wonderful! Please, in here!”

———

O’Chunks rammed himself into the punching bag for the sixth time, getting stronger with each collision. 

Dimentio was practicing a card trick with MiMi, who was currently painting her nails. When Dimentio asked her to pick a card, she’s use a dried finger to point to one.

The three we’re currently on their free period, and came in here for the quiet and solitude. They didnt like being in crowded and loud areas when they didnt have to be. 

The doors to the gym opened, and their school’s Guidence counciler walked in with a shy boy in green beside her. Mimi and Dimentio grinned, while O’Chunks didnt notice right away.

“Hey Nastasia!” MiMi, waved her hand, greeting the teacher and drying the nail polish.

“Would you like to see a Card trick?” Dimentio asked.

“Maybe you can show Luigi here,” Nastasia pushed the boy in green forward.

Time skip to the part of the fic i actually wanted to write lmao:

Mario trudged into the crowded hallway, Peach and Daisy behind him. Luigi wasn’t in class today. Luigi never skips class, and he knows hes not sick. So where was his brother?

A commotion in the hallways interrupted those thoughts though.

“Oh great,” Mario rolled his eyes. “Its Bowser and his Goons again.”

“Except,” Peach stepped in. “I don’t think its Bowser this time…”

A giant muscular student stomped on the floor. “Step aside, you wee blubbery piggys!” He bellowed in a scottish accent.

“He’s coming! He’s coming!” A strange jester-boy used magic to push aside students.

“Yeah! Shut it Whiskers! He’s almost on his way!” A girl with pigtails cruelly snapped her whip on fellow students.

The three students agressivly cleared the way, parting the crowd.

“What? Who’s on his way?” Mario thought aloud to himself.

“You guys, stop it!” A familiar voice called out, chuckling.

Luigi walked through the parted crowd, a pink blush and giddy smile on his face. He helped up the fellow students knocked over in the chaos.

“You guys, I’m flattered. But please be more gentle!” Luigi insisted on the 3 trouble-making students.

“C’mon Luigi,” Dimentio slung an arm around Luigi’s shoulders. “You deserve respect!”

“A red carpet!” MiMi giggled, grabbing Luigi’s hands.

“A PROCESSION OF BAGPIPES ANOUNCIN YER ARRIVAL!” O’Chunks swooped Luigi into the air and placed him on his shoulders.

Luigi let out a laugh

“L-Luigi?!” Mario gasped. “What are you-“

“Hey Mario!” Luigi waved at his older brother. “These are my new friends! O’chunks, Dimentio, and Mimi!”

The 3 waved, looking a little too happy after having treated the students behind them like cattle in the way of the road.

“You’re friends?” Mario couldnt belive it. No way his sweet, kind little brother would ever be friends with these jerks.

“Yeah! Look, MiMi did my nails!” Luigi lowered his hands to show Mario the glossy red manicure.”

“Ooo!” Daisy squealed. “Slay Luigi!”

Luigi blushed.

“See?” MiMi smirked. “I told you you’re fabulous!”

“Luigi, you can’t be serious!” Mario exclaimed. “These jerks can’t be your friends! What about—“

What about your other friends? Thats what Mario was going to say. But thats when he realized he’d never seen Luigi with anyone else. He was either always with him, or waiting with Marios friends for him to arrive. Luigi didnt have any friends, and Mario had been so caught up in his own life he didnt even know. He didnt know his precious brother was all alone, and he didnt do anything about it.

THE END

im tired

LoliRock Drabble — What if Iris didn’t hide her Shanilla?

 I always wondered what it would be like if Iris wasn’t embarrassed by her Shanila Hair, and went about as usual(well, as best as one can when they’re extra weak due to magical puberty lol). What would she say when asked about it? What would others think?

OK LETS GOOO!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At first, Iris was not happy. What happened to ber beautiful golden locks?! The ones her aunt compared to Rapunzel as a child, making her feel like a princess before she knew she actually was one? She was devistaed to lose it! 

But then she saw the grins on Ariana and Talia’s faces. Their eyes sparkled in pure joy, a look she wasn’t used to seeing on Talia at all. They explained that she had basically reached Magical Princess Puberty, and that it was a great acomplishment and cause for celebration.

Once she heard that, Iris began to feel a little of that joy herself. She was experiencing something from her true home, Efedia! She felt a deep connection to her parents in that moment, even if she never met them. 

“We have to throw a party!” Ariana cheered. 

“We can’t,” Talia said.

“Awwww! Why not?!” Ariana whined.

“Because this,” Talia gestured to Iris’s hair and then Ariana and herself “Is supposed to be a secret! Remember?”

Ariana sank sadly.

“Aunt Elen thinks you two are exchange students, from small Countries…” Iris thought aloud. “If we just tell her and everyone else that this is a tradition from your “countries” that I’m honored to take part in, then it should be fine!”

Iris and Ariana made puppy dog eyes at Talia.

“I…suppose that could work.”

“YAY!” Ariana cheered.

…

“Shan-what now?” Doug looked confusingly at the invitation in his hand

“Shanilla!” Ariana cheered. “Its a super special time in a girls life where me and Talia come from! And Iris is taking part!”

“That sounds really cool!” Nathan smiled. “Its so cool of you guys to share your culture!”

“So will you come to the party?” Ariana gave Nathan the puppy dog eyes, but she didnt really need to.

“You bet! I don’t wanna miss Iris’s special day!”

“Even though we’re not sure why its so speical…” Nathan elbowed Doug, cutting off his muttering.

———-

Iris’s short golden locks were decorated with beautiful ornaments, glittering and jingling as she walked. It was a tradition from Volta, where Ariana was from. She grinned as she accepted congratulations from the party guests, who didn’t understand what exactly they were congratulating her on but meant it sincerely all the same.

No one was expecting the sudden haircut, especially Aunt Ellen. But Iris gave a glittering smile, explaining that part of the “tradition” was a special hair mixture Ariana and Talia had that would improve hair growth.

Nathan thought Iris looked beautiful. Her hair was just as shing and golden as before, but she had a whole new glow to her. And her smile was bigger and more joyful than he’d ever seen before!

Iris had entered Shanila, and she couldnt be more proud

THE END

Sorry this was just a drabble i wanted to write down lol :)

Super Mario Bros Drabble — Bowuigi— Omegaverse AU (but also not???)

 Don’t ask me what this is, its 4 minutes til’ midnight so idk what im doing.

Its Omegaverse but also not? Im giving the koopas(aka BOWSER)omegaverse traits but not limiting him to just omega/beta/alpha traits

Ok lets gooooo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bowser’s nest was missing something. He wasn’t sure what though. He had his best sheets, blankets, and pillows. All of his beloved children were cuddled within, waiting for their father to join them. King Bowser was a different Koopa Species than them, so when his instincts made him suddenly pick them up from their own rooms and into his they didnt protest. Besides, they liked the extra attention.

So what was missing?! Bowser was getting increasingly frustrated, growling to himself.

“Now, Now, your highness!” Kamek hoveree close on his broomstick. “Everything is alright. Everyone is here!” He reassured the thing.

Everyone is here

No. Someone was missing.

With this realization, Bowser sprinted out of his bedroom, out of the castle—out of the KINGDOM!—to go find him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The mushroom kingdom was in chaos. Bowser had never attacked at such a late hour, let alone like this. There was no army, Bowser was by himself. And yet, according to the villagers reports he was completely feral. On all fours, setting buildings aflame, roaring like an animal.

Currently, Mario was trying to defeat him before he could reach Princess Peach. He left Luigi behind to comfort the Princess, who was terrified.

“I’ve never seen him like this!” Peach shook. “I am so scared of what he might do to me!”

“There There Princess,” Luigi held her hand. “Mario and I won’t let anything happen to you!”

In that moment the giant doors opened and Mario slid across the floor. He was in bad shape, and Bowser came stormimg in after him. Princess Peach screamed and Luigi rushed to his brother. 

Luigi looked up at Bowser, ready to fight. Bowser leaned down to meet his eyes, and then sniffed. His eyes dialated, and suddenly be began to purr. The tension in the rampaging monster lifted and he collasped to the ground like Mario. He continued to sniff Luigi, while Luigi was just very confused

I obvi have more but me sleepy bye

Super Mario Bros. Oneshot -- Bowuigi -- The Princess and the Turtle

Hey Everyone! I got this idea when I first got into Bowuigi, and I'm finally sitting down to writer it! I'm taking it easy and not trying to put a ton of effort into this. Just gonna try and have some fun! ٩(^ᴗ^)۶

🏳‍🌈🐸🏳‍🌈

Credit: https://bowuigi-real.tumblr.com/post/715664478370430976

Without further ado,

LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before Mario and Luigi discover the warp pipe and all that:

Luigi discovers a shrunken Bowser from some pipes, thinks its a talking turtle. The turtle claims he's a powerful and handsome king from a faraway land. And that if he kisses him--thus returning him to his true self--he will repay Luigi with a life of luxury and riches. Luigi doesn't believe him, but humors him and kisses him regardless

They eventually reunite in the mushroom kingdom, while the bros are trying to rescue peach for probably the first time. Bowser recognizes Luigi and remembers his promise, instantly dropping everything to fufill it.

Luigi had seen plenty of strange things in pipes before. Not just the gross waste and fatbergs. He'd seen wedding rings, goldfish, even false teeth! However he never expected to come across a talking turtle. 

"I am not a turtle!" shouted the reptile, in an angry voice that simply sounded too adorable for its tiny stature. "I am the Mighty King of the Koupas!"

Luigi giggled as he lifted the turtle into his hands, careful of his sharp spikes. He had never seen a turtle with spikes, but this was New York. 

"You are the cutest!" Luigi squealed, lifting the squirming turtle to his face. "La tartaruga più adorabile di sempre!"

"How dare you! I am not cute, I'm ferocious!" it let out a roar, which had it not been for its tiny vocal cords would have been very scary. 

It actually startled Luigi just enough to snap out of his cooing-trance and actually listen to what the turtle was saying. 

"I'm sorry," Luigi apologized, setting down the reptile. "I got carried away."

The turtle stood up bipedal, and shook the dust and grime from the pipes off of him. "I am King Bowser ruler of the Koopas and Darklands!" he declared. 

"The ruler of the what and where?"

"Luigi!"

Luigi gasped. Without thinking he grabbed Bowser again, this time holding him behind his back as his older brother apprached.

"Mario!" Luigi faked a smile.

"I'm all done with the pipes over on the left side," Mario wiped the sweat from his brow. "How you doing over here?"

Bowser squirmed and wiggled, tryingto escape Luigi's grip.

"A-Almost all done!" Luigi tightend his grip.

"I'm going to go start up the truck, meet me outside?"

"S-Sounds good!"

Bowser nipped at Luigi's fingers, sharp fangs startling the green plummer.

"AH!"

"What was that, Luigi? Stai bene?"

"A-Awesome! Awesome Job today!"

Mario grinned, and left the area.

Luigi dropped Bowser back to the ground, cradling his hand.

"That hurt!" he cried.

"Thats what you deserve! You should have known no one can hold the mighty Bowser at bay!"

"What kind of mighty king is so tiny?" Luigi didn't mean it as an insult. He was genuinely curios, he had never heard of a Koopa before today.

"I'm not tiny!"

"Uhm..."

"I'm actually a tall and handsome King!"

"Really?"

"Uh, yeah! But I was cursed and now here I am." Bowser crossed his arms. 

"Well, how do you break it?"

"Kiss me!" Bowser commanded.

"What?!" Luigi jumped back.

"You must kiss me! That will break the curse."

"I-I'm not kissing a turtle."

"Koopa!"

"I'm not kissing a Koopa."

"Do you know who I am?! I am King Bowser! I am the most powerful person in the world! How dare you defy me--"

Luigi lifted Bowser up into his hand again. "You were saying?"

Bowser growled. "Fine."

Luigi giggled again.  "Mario is waiting, c'mon!" Luigi put Bowser in his pocket.

"Where are you taking me?! Wretched Human!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turns out Luigi was taking him home. Bowser would have preferred his massive castle, but he had to admit Luigi's home was cozy. A step up from the dark and damp sewers. Luigi's spaghettis was also a much better than the weeds he was forced to feast on while on the pipes as well. And the soft cloths he rested with were a blessing after waking up soaked overnight.

Every night, Bowser would tell Luigi the same thing: "If you kiss me, I will give you millions in gold and a life of luxury in return." 

And every night, Luigi would chuckle and say he didn't need it. 

At first Bowser thought Luigi was annoying. The way he treated Bowser like he was a harmless pet. But slowly he began wanting to hear his giggling laughter. He began yearning for Luigi to stroke his finger through his hair. He became desperate to be held in his warm hands. He wouldn't mind if things stayed like this forever...

But Bowser had a Kingdom to run. Bowser had a world to take over! And a child to take care of! So he continued to ask every night, "If you kiss me, I will give you millions in gold and a life of luxury in return."

Until one night, Luigi agreed. He let out a pitiful chuckle, eyes sad. "I don't think my kiss will help all that much," he sighed. "But if you really want it that badly, I'll give it to you."

And so, Luigi's kissed him. His lips were soft and warm, but gone in an instant as Bowser was transported back to his kingdom in his regular size. 

The curse was broken! The Koopa subjects rejoiced at the return of their missing King, and were more excited than ever to continue their mission to take over the world. So excited they didn't think twice about why Bowser wanted a third of his treasure to be locked away in a secure vault. They didn't even question when Bowser introduced a new protocol called 'Code Green' let alone why it entailed what it did. They were just happy to have their king back!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TIME SKIP||MANY YEARS LATER: MARIO'S SECOND MISSION TO RESCUE PRINCESS PEACH, LUIGI'S FIRST

The Darklands were just as scary and just as hot as Mario had always described them to be. Luigi had removed his gloves, using them as sweat rags. Mario however didn't seem affected, as he marched determined to rescue Princess Peach. Luigi knew his brother really liked the Princess, he could see why! She was beautiful, smart, and brave! But even she was no match for this Koopa King, who kept kidnaping her in an attempt to form a political marriage. And so Mario was once again going to rescue her, this time with Luigi by his side.

Luigi wasn't sure why his brother wanted his help, what help would Luigi be?! But Mario insisted that Luigi was the only one that could help him, and how could he say no to his brother and best friend?

After fighting their way through the castle they reached the throne room, where Peach was placed in a cage, swinging from the ceiling. And below her on the throne sat King Bowser, the one who kept kidnapping Peach.

"Mario!" Princess Peach cheered, seeing her rescuers. "And Luigi--"

"MARIO!" Bowser roared, cutting off Princess Peach. "You're too late! Soon, the mushroom Kingdok will be--" Bowser stopped mid-sentence, finally noticing the man in green.

The entire room was silent, and very very awkward. 

"Uhm, you were saying?" Mario motioned for Bowser to continue.

"CODE GREEN!"

Koopa servants and solders flooded the room in a frenzy. Mario went to fight the soilders, before realizing they were releasing Princess Peach. Princess Peach looked confused herself, not sure what this code green was or why it meant she was being set free. Meanwhile the servants were surrounding Luigi, laying out a fancy red carpet from exactly where his feet stood to the throne. They also began lining it with vases filled with treasure. In minutes, the result was princess peach standing free on Mario's left, and Luigi on Mario's right surrounded by treasure and servants standing at attendance.

"What's Happening?" Luigi whispered to Mario.

"How should I know?!" Mario hissed, panicked. 

"You're the one that's been here before!" Luigi waved his arms franticly.

Bowser approached Luigi, and bowed to him. 

"Luigi, I have anxiously awaited the day we reunite." the King said.

"Wh-What?" Luigi gasped.

"As promised, I have prepared hundreds of fortunes worth of gold, the vases you see before you being filled with just a sampling of it." He motioned to the red carpet and the treasure along it. "As well as best servants the koopa kingdom can offer, all loyal to you and shall service you for as long as you shall live."

"It is an honor to serve you, Luigi." the servants declared.

"Wh-What are you talking about?!" Luigi cried.

"In return for breaking my curse, I promised you millions in gold and a life of luxury in return."

Luigi's jaw dropped. This was Luigi's pet turtle, from years ago. The one he swore could talk. The one who disappeared right before his eyes, a few weeks after he had adopted him. The one who claimed he was a a tall and handsome king, cursed to be tiny. The one who wasn't lying. 

"Luigi, what is he talking about?!" Mario shouted. 

"I-I can explain!" Luigi turned to his brother.

"Princess Peach, I regret to inform you that a political marriage will no longer be available." Bowser said.

Princess Peached rolled her eyes. "Oh no, I'm so disappointed." she said, sarcastically. 

"Thank you for your understanding."

"Wait, your just giving up?" Mario turned back to Bowser. "After everything you've done?!"

"I must, as now that the one I am in love with is here I refuse to peruse any political marriage. I will be focusing my efforts and resources on courting Luigi for a genuine marriage."

Luigi fainted.

THE END

Again, all of this was for MY enjoyment. and I enjoyed it! So IDC that the ending in unsatisfying! But thank you all for reading, and I hope you still enjoyed it regrardless!

VLD LANGST Oneshot -- Lance's Birthday 2023 -- Happy Birthday To Who We Want You To Be

ヽ（≧ω≦） ｛☆HAPPY★BIRTHDAY☆LANCE｝（≧ω≦）/

Its been such a busy July, and yet Celebrating Lance's birthday is still a priority. Not to be a classic 'AO3 A/N' but Gramps(my Grandfather)is literally in the hospital/rehab for re-occuring cancer issues right now and I prioritized THIS DAY over him...(-_-;)

Anyway, MAJOR THANK YOU to my Discord Friends @Idkjustaname & @applejuice463 for helping me come up with this idea, you two are the bestest!

WARNINGS//NOTES:
- Angst With a Happy/Hopeful Ending
- Langst (Light)
- Klance if you squint

Without further ado...HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANCE! 

LETS GOOOO!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lance awoke naturally, with no emergency alarm or Shiro knocking on his door to wake him up for training. It felt nice to sleep in and not feel guilty about it for once! Lance stretched for a good few seconds, feeling well rested--Which was not often when your in the middle of an intergalactic war.

Lance took his time washing off his facemask and doing his morning skin care routine, before getting dressed and making his way through the Castle of Lions.

Lance was the one who had pushed for days off on Birthdays. It was quite the fight, as Alurra and Keith insisted there was no time for such celebrations when the Galra could attack any moment. But after being given their own Birthday Celebrations by Lance, they agreed to his request.

"I suppose having Birthdays reserved for celebrations couldn't hurt," Alurra had said. 

"I guess Birthdays are fine," Keith had rolled is eyes. "Besides, it counts as bonding and stuff."

And now, it was Lance's birthday. Lance was very excited! He couldn't wait to eat Hunks' delicious cake and open all the gifts the team will have gotten him! What can he say? Lance was a Material Gurl!

...

Lance entered the kitchen, to see the room decorated in...Red? Normally the team decorated the room in the Guest of Honor's favorite color. And that wasn't necessarily their Lion's color either. Shiro's favorite Color was purple, and they had all decorated accordingly. But Lance's favorite color was Blue, and he was sure they all knew this...

"Happy Birthday Lance!" everyone cheered.

Lance smiled. Who cared about the decorations, he was just happy to be celebrated today! He rushed over to the team and gave each of them an extra tight hug. They quickly sat him down at the head of the table, and presented him with his gifts. Lance was so excited! He couldn't wait to see what his Space-Family had got him; maybe some new skin-care or face masks? Or a new attachment for his Bayard's sniper-rifle? Whatever it was, he knew he would love it! 

First was Corran's gift: A Custom Blue key to the Custodial Closet.

"What do you think my boy?" Corran smiled. "Now you won't have to use my keys when cleaning the pods! You can get the supplies all by yourself!"

Lance wasn't sure what to think, to be honest. But Corran was giving him such a proud smile. He was Altean, and probably didn't know that on Earth practical gifts weren't really for Birthdays.

"Thanks Corran, this is reallt thoughtful of you!" Lance gave Corran a hug. 

It really was, it Corran's own way. Lance complained about never being able to find Corran, having to look all over the castle for him just ask for the keys so he could get a wash-rag.

Next was Pidge's gift: An alarm clock

"I made it myself!" Pidge grinned. "What do you think?"

The homemade alarm clock was shaped like a planet with rings surrounding it, resembling saturn. However it wasn't painted or anything, and was clearly made from different scrap parts. But it still managed to look like something and stand upright. 

"An Alarm Clock?" Lance asked, not really sure what to say yet.

"Yeah! This way we don't have to wake you up every morning when you sleep in!" Pidge laughed.

The rest of the team let out a laugh too, and Lance faked a chuckle. 

Was this a gift for Lance, or a gift for the rest of the team? Was he that much of an inconvenience? If he had known he would have worked harder to get up on time himself. Pidge said that it could record a custom alarm, so it didn't have to be a loud scary ring, which was nice. But Lance still didn't feel too happy about this present. However he didn't want to appear ungrateful, so he faked another laugh and thanked Pidge.

"Oh! Oh! My turn!" Princess Alurra clapped her hands and gave a little hop or two. 

Alurra's gift was a sword.

It was very beautiful, colored with the traditional altean blue and a bright red--seriously, what was with all the red? It wasn't a bayard of any kind, so this was its own weapon.

"Isn't it lovely?" Alurra said with glee. "You can train to master the blade, how exciting!"

What the hell was this?! Lance was the Sharpshooter of the team! It didn't matter if he gave himself that nickname, it was clear to everyone that he used a gun, not a sword. The only one who used a sword was...

Shiro's gift was last, the most insulting of all: Fingerless Gloves. 

"To go with the sword," he put a hand on Lance's shoulder. "They improve grip and keep your hands from getting cold."

Keith wielded a sword. Keith wore fingerless gloves and ran cold. Keith's favorite color was red. It was all so clear now: These gifts weren't for Lance, they were for who the the team wanted Lance to be. The team wanted Lance to be more like Keith. Of course they did, why would they want a flirty goofball from Cuba when they could have Keith, a focused prodigy practically made for Voltron! 

This was supposed to be Lance's day, where he was celebrated for who he is. But instead, it became Keith's day, reminding Lance of everything he wasn't.

Hunk walked into the room, carrying a delicious birthday cake covered in red icing. Lance's eyes blurred at the sight of the powerful flames upon the candles, and whatever Birthday song the others sang him was muffled by Lance's own dread. He didn't even register blowing out his own birthday candles, and only snapped out of his own head when the others cheered and clapped.

Lance stood up from the table just as Hunk was cutting him a slice.

"Lance, where are you going?" Hunk asked.

"I was just going to go put these amazing gifts in my room!" Lance lied with his fakest smile yet. "I'll be right back for a slice of that delicious cake!"

The others nodded and all began digging into their own slices. 

...

Lance entered his room, and set his gifts on the floor. He numbly sat on his own bed, tears falling down his cheeks. He let out quiet hiccups as he hugged himself tightly.

He remembered all the gifts he gave the others for their birthdays: He gave Pidge a special neck pillow. So that she could code late into the night in comfort. As he hated her staying up late at night coding, he accepted that it wasn't something he was going to stop her from doing. Pidge had gave him a look that said, 'I appreciate your understanding even for something you hate'. He had surprised Hunk with a garden in Kaltnecker's room, growing all sorts of Alien vegetables and fruits he had never worked with before. Lance had spent a month growing it, and gifted Hunk with the special alien gardening guidebook he used so Hunk would be able to take care of them too. Cooking Tools were all fun and good, but being able to have ingredients at his disposal made Hunk cry from joy. He had given Shiro his headphones, because he knew Shiro was suffering from PTSD night terrors and hoped they would help him, calm him with music and meditation tapes. For Alurra and Corran--Alteans have a single holiday in which the royal family celebrates all their birthdays together, and Corran practically became a member due to how close he was with the royal family and Alurra--he gave them both an expensive space-internet subscription to a space-internet encyclopedia service. They were overjoyed to have the resources to catch themselves up on 10,000 years of history they missed while in the Pods. And Keith, Lance had worked tirelessly to find something the grumpy emo would genuinely appreciate. He ended up getting Keith a set of elbow/kneepads, so that he wouldn't have to wear his entire paladins armor while training. He used to not wear it, but after getting hurt one too many times Shiro instead on full armor or no training. It pissed Keith off to no end, having to get his heavy armor on just to exercise. So Lance spoke with Shiro before hand and got approval that Keith could train without his armor if he wore the Elbow/Kneepads Lance gifted him. Keith had looked up at Lance, whom always teased Keith about his endless training, and actually smiled.

It was while he thought of Keith that Lance noticed the crate on his bed next to him. That wasn't there this morning? It was black and made of metal, the BOM logo on top of it.

Lance opened the lid with a squeak, and found an assortment of 3 or 4 bottles/jars, and a peice of paper. Lance raised an eyebrow and read the note:

I know its not much, but some alien was selling a bunch of this stuff at a market while I was on a mission. I don't know exactly what it is, but the lady said it was the skin-care basics and I know you like that kinda stuff. You probably already got some of this or better stuff from everyone else, sorry. Happy Birthday, and I'll try to visit soon

-- Keith

Lance didn't think such a basic note could make him tear up. Keith had taken the effort to get him a birthday gift while on a mission and write him a note! And it was an actual good gift! It wasn't some sort of gift for his benefit, or something he wanted Lance to want. No, it was the perfect gift for Lance. 

And if Keith could appreciate Lance for who he is, Lance knows that he's enough.

Lance wiped his tears and left his bedroom to go back to the kitchen. Red icing or not, Hunk's cakes were always amazing and not even Zarkon could stop him from eating his Birthday Cake!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tonight was the largest Pro-Hero Gala in Japan. Only held once a year, the gala celebrated Pro-Hereos; those who have become the highest ranking, those who have become legendary and made history, and those who are just up-and-coming. Just its entrance's Red Carpet was known to make-or-break a stylist's carrier, if they could even get that far to begin with. All this to say, it was a very big deal.

Tenya Iida, also known at #6 ProHero Ingenium 2.0, was of course attending. However this year he brought a date, his girlfriend of one year.

Molly was a civilian cosmetologist, and Tenya Iida had met her when a villain fight ended up crashing into her salon. She had defended her patrons by burning the villain with a curling iron when they got too close. It ended up defeating the Vilian, as it pained them enough for Tenya Iida to finally tackle and incapacitate them. From then on, Iida would find himself in her salon for his hair/barber appointments. And soon enough he found himself in her heart too. 

Previously their relationship was kept away from the public eye. Until tonight...

~~~~~~~~~~

Tenya Iida took a deep breath, and knocked on Molly's front door. Molly lived in a townhome in a quaint neighborhood. The Limo stood out from the other mini-vans and SUV's in the driveways. 

This was Tenya's first time attending such a large public event with a date, and he was very nervous. What if Molly didn't have a good time? What if she got overwhelmed? What if she decided she didn't want to date a ProHero, didn't want to keep dating Tenya! Before he could freak out anymore, the door slowly opened to reveal his girlfriend. 

She looked beautiful; with her golden hair done all fancy, and light makeup bringing out her already rosy cheeks and shiny brown eyes.

"Tenya! You're here!" she smiled. 

"Good evening dear," he bowed his head. "Are you ready to leave for the gala?"

"Yup!" she grinned, and closed the door behind her. "Let's go! Let's go!"

Tenya Iida chickled, and led her into the limo.

...

The Limo drove smoothlt through th bust streets of Japan, on its way to the biggest event of the year. 

"I'm so excited!" Molly flapped her hands happily.

"As am I," Tenya Iida said. "However I am also nervous."

"Why?" Molly asked. 

"This is the first time I've brought you to an event like this. The public will now know of our relationship."

"O-Oh..." Molly looked down sadly. "I don't want to embarrass you or anything."

"No, No!" Tenya Iida said quickly. "That is not what I was referring to! I could never be ashamed of you, no matter what the public could say."

"Then what is it?"

"I am worried that you won't enjoy yourself." Tenya Iida hung his head. There are so many strangers and uncertainties, and I fear that you may get overwhelmed or be completly miserable."

"Oh Tenya," Molly said soflty, and held his hand. "Thats so kind of you to be concerned for me. That means a lot to me."

Tenya Iida nodded.

"Well, you don't have to be worried about me getting overwhelmed! Check this out," Molly grinned, and dug into her purse. 

Tenya Iida watched as Molly pulled out a pair of noise-cancelling earmuffs. But they were not like her usual ones. These ones were bedazzled with colorful rhinestones-stickers, which made them look very glamours. 

"What do you think?" Molly slipped them on. "I made them just for tonight!"

"They look just as beautiful as you do," Tenya Iida smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

___________________

The limo pulled up to the red carpet. Cameras were already flashing, and they didn't even know who was in the car yet. 

Tenya Iida warned Molly about the noise and flashing lights, and she nodded. She agreed to tell Iida when they needed to leave the red carpet away from the cameras and go into the gala.

Tenya Iida left the car first to the cheering fans and paparazzi. He gave a polite wave, before reaching into the Limo to help Molly out. The paparazzi went wild over the new face.

Molly was by no means wealthy, let alone as rich as a ProHero. So of course she wasn't wearing any designer dress or fancy suit or whatever crazy fashion would normally be found on the red carpet. However she did her best to find something extra special looking. She wore a silk-like Yellow Dress, which hung off her shoulders. She wore a shiny silver necklace with a blue jewel on the locket, which matched the fake silver diamonds weaved in her hair. She had done her hair in a fancy way, she was a cosmetologist after-all! The dress would show bits of her yellow tennis shoes she wore underneath, because she tried but she just couldn't find it in herself to wear heels. Luckily the dress hid them mostly from the rest of the outfit. 

Tenya Iida wore a dark blue suit, which matched the shade of Molly's necklace. He wore a tie that matched the yellow of Molly's dress. She happy flapped when Tenya wrapped his arm around her waist and smiled at her. Tenya loved that Molly wasn't too afraid of attention, as she waved happily to the cameras and did fun little poses with her hands.

....

However they did eventually find their way inside the Gala. It was giant, with hundreds of heros, sidekicks, media reporters, and event staff. Present Mic was acting as DJ, because of course even at a party for ProHeros like him you couldn't keep him away from the aux. Many ProHeros were on the dancefloor, and many others were scattered around, drinking and chatting. 

"Iida," ProHero Shouto Todoroki approached them. 

"Hello Todoroki, it is wonderful to see you!" Tenya smiled. "Have I introduced you to my date this evening?"

"No you have not," Todoroki said. "However I do remember her coming up in conversation quite often."

"Aw, baby you talk about me?" Molly grinned.

"O-Of course," Tenya Iida blushed. "It ius only natural to speak of you from time to time."

"All the time," Todoroki corrected.

"This is Molly!" Tenya quickly introduced Molly, in order to avoid anymore panic. 

"Hi, its nice to meet you!" Molly held out her hand. "Tenya talks about you and Mr. Deku a lot too, don't worry!"

Todoroki blushed this time, and shook Molly's hand. "I suppose that's karma." he said. "Speaking of Midoryia, I see him at the bar by Bakugou. I am going to go say hello before they break out in a fight. It was wonderfuk to meet you Molly."

Molly giggled again, and Tenya Iida sighed. 

"He was nice!" Molly smiled. "I'm really excited to finally meet all the people you talk about!"

Tenya Iida nodded.

___________________

Molly was having a wonderful evening. She had met the ProHeros Tenya Iida worked with, and talked with Tenya's best friends since U.A. She even got Mina's--ProHero Alien Queen's--number, as they had really clicked and Mina wanted to spend more time together. The food was absolutely delicuous, and while she avoided drinking she had had at least 5 of the gourme lemonades. She had dragged Tenya Iida onto the Dancefloor, despite both of them being horrible dancers.

It was around this time where Molly was getting a little tired, and overwhelmed. She decided to take a quick break by the quieter orderves table and put her nosie-cancelling headphones on. Tenya Iida promised to check on her in a bit, ad gave her a little kiss on the cheek. Molly was now snacking on the deserts while watching the crowd.

Suddenly a large shadow fell over her, and Molly looked up to see #1 Hero Endeavor. She gasped in awe and slight fear. Endeavor stared down at her, inspecting her almost.

"Who are you." he demanded.

Unfortunatley Molly hadn't taken her headphones off yet, and she didn't hear him. "S-Sorry, what was that?" she asked, as she slipped them off. 

"Give me those!" Endeavor snatched earmuffs out of her hands. He tossed them against the wall and they fell apart completely, shiny rhinestones scattering on the floor.

"Hey!" Molly cried out.

"Those are tacky and disrespectful," Endeavor scolded. "Who do you think you are, coming to an event such as this wearing those eyesores? Especially if they hinder your hearing?"

"Th-They're my noise cancelling earmuffs!" Molly said. "They're supposed to muffle my hearing! I have Autism--"

"Ridicuolus!" the ProHero scoffed. "You don't act autistic. Besides, if you were why would they even let someone like you in?"

Molly gasped in shock and offence: "Excuse me?!"

"I'll ask again: Who are you?"

"I am Autistic! And my name is Molly."

"I've never heard of you. You can't possibly he a hero--"

"I'm not. I'm here with my boyfriend."

"What kind of ProHero would bring someone like you here?" Endeavor looked down at her with distaste. 

"Whats that supposed to mean?" Molly asked, confused and distressed.

"Well, you're not much to look at thats for sure. Afterall other than FatGum people who look like you don't belong here. And you claim to be disabled too, what kind of ProHero would go so low as to assoisiate with you?"

Molly was shaking. "H-How dare you!" she shouted. "I'll have you know Tenya Iida loves me very much! And he said I look beautiful!"

"Ingenium 2.0?" Endeavor laughed. "Now this truly is sad. He has quite the legacy to uphold, and associating with you is surly going to destroy it. I'll have to have a talk with him,"

"You are being ableist, Body shaming me, and--"

"I think its time you left."

"What?!"

"I'm the #1 Hero, and I like to believe my advice is of very high value. And my advice ro you, is to leave as you are clearly not meant to be here."

Molly was crying at this point. And she did want to leave. Not because Endeavor was right about anything, but because she was hurt and upset. She knew she should go to Tenya right now, tell him everything. But hindsight is a bitch, and she ended up leaving in tears instead.

Tenya approached the table where Molly said she would be, but she wasn't there. Only Endeavor stood there, which worried Tenya.

"Ah, Iida!" Endeavor greeted which a hearty chuckle. 

"Hello Mr. Todoroki." Tenya bowed his head. "Did you happen to a women in yellow? I last saw her here."

"Oh, that women." the Flame Hero scoffed. "Don't worry, I look care of her."

"What?"

"Iida, you deserve so much better!" Endeavor put a hand on Tenya's shoulder. "Look around, there are hundreds of sidekicks and heros that could aid you in building your legacy! Why would you ever limit yourself to a stupid-in-the-head pig like that girl?"

Tenya Iida had felt rage once. He's felt upset, determained, and angry more times than he could count. But he had only ever felt rage once, and it was when he was fighting the Hero Killer Stain. And now he felt rage once again, this time aimed at the #1 Pro Hero Endeavor. 

"How dare you!" he screamed. 

"Oh c'mon little Iida, you don't have to defend her!"

"What did you say to her?! What did you do to Molly?!"

"I simply sent her away, she didn't belong at an event such as this anyway. She was wearing trash in her head afterall!" Endeavor gestured to the wall, where the remains of Molly's headphones still remained. 

"You destroyed her earmuffs?!" Tenya shouted.

By now the entire Gala was watching them, along with reporters. 

"Iida!" Mina ran up to the fight. "Iida look at this." Mina handed him her phone, which was open to multiple social media websites. 

A photo of Molly on the red carpet was trending, the one where she smiled brightly and held up a peace-sign with her fingers. The posts, the comments, they were all awful.

Ingenium3.0: what kinda contest did she win to go with inegnium to the gala?

HeroN3rd7075: she's flapping like a r***** lol

Ingenium2.0_is_my_husband_327: she so ugly Inegnium 2.0 can do so much better

And now after what Endeavor had said and done to her...Molly could not OK at all.

"Fuck." Tenya cursed. "Mina, have you seen her?"

"No, Endeavor is right she must have left!" Mina said. "We'll take care of this flaming pile of trash Iida, you go and find your girlfriend!"

Tenya nodded, and used his quirk to rush out of the gala.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Molly slammed her front door close, and immediately tore off her dress. She stomped up the stairs naked to her room, where she immediately put on a sweater and jeans. She went back down and picked up the dress before throwing it into the trashcan. She screamed and shouted out in rage and sadness, before collasping onto her kicthen floor in tears.

She was having such a good time, and now she was back at home crying like a baby, She felt so helpless. She tried to distract herself on her phone, but only kept seeing photos and posts of the gala which just made her feel left out. And it only got worse when she discovered the hate she was getting online. She threw her phone across the room and it landed far away on her living room couch. She shouted and screamed in rage until her voice was gone and her throat hurt. 

She knew Endeavor was wrong, she knew. But it still felt horrible to be called dumb, ugly, fat, and invalidated. She was sure Tenya Iida knew she was missing by now, and she should text him she was back home so he wouldn't worry too much. But just as she was about to stand from the floor, Tenya Iida burst through her front door.

"Molly!" he cried out and ran to her. "Oh My God, I'm so glad your ok!"

Molly cried into his shoulder. "I-I was just about to text you. I'm sorry I left without saying anything--"

"You have nothing to be sorry for," Tenya Iida squeezed her tightly. "I know everything."

Molly let out another sob. "En-Endeavor...h-he said--"

"Shhh...." Tenya cooed. "He was wrong, Nothing he said is true."

"I-I know! B-But--"

"But it still hurts." Tenya finsihed.

Molly nodded. "A-And the people online--"

"Are creeps who don't know anything."

Molly stayed silent.

After Molly was calmer, he went to her trashcan and took out the dress.

"You look beautiful," he told her. "You are beautiful in this dress, You're beautiful in those jeans. You're beautiful when you cry, and you're beautiful when you're happy stimming. I love you in every way you're you."
