ILU GUYS SO MUCH

Who: Lemmy, Kamek, Bowser, and Wendy.
What: Lemmy presents gifts to his family members!
Where: Some courtyard on the school grounds, idk.
When: Backdated to November 11.
Warnings: LOVE. SO MUCH LOVE.

The day was crisp, clear, and cold, and the trees were beautiful shades of reds, oranges, and yellows. The well-tended courtyard's grass was slightly damp from the morning dew, and Lemmy's circus ball was a little slippery from rolling around in the droplets. Lemmy hopped up and down eagerly on his ball, waiting for his family members to arrive for their gifts. They were going to love the things he bought for them!

Bowser showed up. He was... interested to see what Lemmy had decided to buy for all of them. For some reason.

He was also concerned and slightly worried and also almost certain he wouldn't like it. Because Lemmy had terrible taste.

But Lemmy was his son, and fathers were required to do certain things, one of them being, he supposed, letting his children shower him with gifts.

"Lemmy," he said, acknowledging his child.

Lemmy waved his father down vigorously. Then suppressed a shiver. He knew his father wasn't too fond of him, and Lemmy tried to act like he didn't care what his father thought of him. Even then, he still hoped to impress his dad.

He glanced behind him at the clumsily wrapped gifts. He didn't have any wrapping paper at the time, so he had used ~~his homework~~ regular sheets of blank paper, and colored them with crayons. The misshapen packages were mummified with tape, and the ribbon was just some simple string he bought with the little money he had left.

Kamek, like Bowser, didn't hold high expectations for what Lemmy was about to present for them. He also felt a bit guilty; he should be the one getting things for Bowser's family, not the other way around. Still, he supposed he grew to be more than just a nanny in the Koopalings' eyes.

Kamek hopped from his broom and unto the wet grass. Kamek would accept whatever gift Lemmy had for him, and not just because doing otherwise was disrespectful. Receiving a gift from one of the kids was no small matter to Kamek.

In the end, Wendy didn't really care who was the one buying presents for her as long as there were presents being bought for her. She just hoped Lemmy had enough sense to make it really shiny and really expensive. But when she saw the lumps that vaguely resembled packages, she instantly grew skeptical.

She also didn't like that she had to come all the way out into the wet cold outdoors for this.

"This better be good."

Lemmy bit his lower lip in excitement as Wendy and Kamek showed up. He hopped off of his ball and gathered the lumpy parcels in his arms, struggling a bit since he couldn't carry very much in his small arms.

It was when he turned back around to bring his family their presents that he began to feel nervous. What if they didn't like their gifts? What if his dad was disappointed in him again? It would be just like the Dinosaur Land incident all over again. What if Wendy hit him?

He gingerly held out one of the packages to Bowser. "I-I hope you like it.."

Bowser reached out with a claw for the gift and ripped off the crappy homemade rainbow paper it was covered in.

((WHAT IS IT))

((TADAAAAA))

...

...

"Pink, Lemmy? You expect Great Evil King Bowser to wear pink?"

Oh-Oh no! Lemmy recoiled a bit. He knew he should have thrown the pink one out. Again, he had disgusted his father while trying to please him. No amount of hugs would seem to fix this.

"S-sorry dad... Maybe you could... throw the pink one away..?" Lemmy stuttered nervously and began nibbling one of his claws.

"Nothing's wrong with pink, King Dad." Wendy crossed her arms, eying the collar with envy (not so much because she liked it but because it was given to someone that was not her. Even if it was Bowser.). "Roy knows that. He's the only one who does." Besides herself, of course.

"Then give it to Roy," he said, throwing it at Kamek's head. "Because I don't wear pink."

Sorry, Wendy.

And seriously, baby blue? Lime green? Ugh, Lemmy you had the worst taste in everything.

And then he looked down and saw Lemmy's terrified face. Ugh, Lemmy, you're such a wimp. Was Bowser going to have to say something nice to keep you from crying?

Yeah, he probably was.

"I like the red one," he said.

What was that his dad had said? He liked the red one? HE LIKED SOMETHING LEMMY HAD GOTTEN HIM. Lemmy felt a warm joyous feeling erupt inside him. Or perhaps that was him getting too excited and almost spitting up a little fire. Either way, Lemmy was happy.

"So you like it?!" Lemmy almost screamed. Whoops.

"Parts of it," admitted Bowser. "Now CALM DOWN," he ordered ~~kindly~~.

Kamek caught the pink collar with one hand. He was...amused, to be honest, but he refrained from saying anything lest Bowser whack him on the head. He'd just store the collar for Roy. Or Wendy, if she badgered him for it.

Lemmy happily obliged to Bowser's command, and grabbed Wendy's present. He glanced at Wendy with an eager expression.

He walked over to Wendy and held out the package in an earnest way.

Oh, she would definitely be badgering Kamek for it. But for now she was too preoccupied with the fact that she was finally receiving her presents! She should have got it ages ago. Didn't her family know the "Ladies First" rule?

She snatched the package up and tore the paper off as fast as possible.

And inside the wrapping was:

A new bow! Wow, something Wendy was actually interested in. Lemmy was a little smarter than she'd normally give him credit for. He probably just lucked out.

Was that a look of delight on her face? It vanished as an instant as she remembered that just because Lemmy was being nice didn't mean she had to. Especially not with Bowser watching. She humphed and turned the bow over with her claws.

"Ugh. It would be rainbow. But I guess it's okay. My other ribbons are getting old, anyway."

Lemmy squealed with delight, for he knew Wendy had liked it. Her short look of happiness had told all he needed to know.

He ran over and hugged Wendy hard. "I knew you'd like it!"

And then Lemmy discretely stuck a "Kick Me" sign to Wendy's back.

Kamek saw this, but wasn't going to say anything about it. He may not excel in the field of being a....second parent-like figure, or wherever he stood with them now that they were old enough to not require a watchful, constant eye. But he knew there were times when he shouldn't get in the way of kids being kids.

Lemmy whirled around energetically to face Kamek. "Your turn, Kamek!"

He ran over and thrust a package into Kamek.

Yes, Lemmy was sure Kamek would love this gift.

Alright, if the first two gifts were any indication, his present would be something of multicolor as well ~~(Lemmy what is it with you and rainbows seriously)~~. With a breath of anticipation, he tore off the paper wrapping off the package.

oh please don't let it be a multicolor robe for all that's good in the world don't let it be that

Da na na naaaaa:

Bowser stared.

And stared.

And stared.

And then started laughing his tail off.

what is this i don't even

"Thank you, Lemmy. It's real...nice," he said, inspecting the rainbow glasses. He can't think of an occasion where he'd even think to wear these. At a disco bar, maybe. "I'll treasure it always."

"He'll wear them tomorrow," said Bowser. "And every day," he added, looking at Kamek and daring him to say otherwise.

Oh man, greatest gift ever, Lemmy. Maybe you don't suck so much after all.

Lemmy gasped in disbelief and clenched his fists eagerly.

"Really Kamek?! Will you?!" he squeaked.

Kamek glares at you back, Bowser, but said nothing nonetheless. He turned over to Lemmy, something of a forced kindness in his voice. "I'm not sure if they're even the right prescription, Lemmy..." Maybe he could still worm his way out of this one. He didn't want to be flying into trees, after all.

"They're fine, you're wearing them tomorrow," said Bowser, staring at the withered old magikoopa.

Have fun flying into trees.
