Mario X Reader one-shot.

Mario walked beside you, holding your hand. You had just recently gotten out of the hospital after suffering from a very bad dizzy spell the other day. The people who were there for you were only the Mario Siblings and the Princess. Your family didn't bother visit, because they never cared.

This always seemed to upset the hell out of Mario. He despised your family, always telling you how different you are from them.

"Mario, you don't have to hold my hand... I can walk." Your hand was feeling sweaty from behind inside Mario's gloved hand. He looked up at you, an expression of uncertainty on his face. "Are you sure, Y/N?"

You nodded before he hesitantly let go. You played a kiss on his cheek and continued walking by his side. You honestly weren't worried, because you know Mario would pick you right up and run back to the hospital if anything were to happen.

"Y/N, I learned the other day that dizzy spells can be caused by extreme stress..." Uh oh. You bit your lip and glanced to the side. Mario was always making sure you were okay emotionally and mentally as well.

"Mario... I'm alright. I promise, I'm not stressed." Mario stopped walking. You stopped as well and looked down at him.

The Italian-American looked back at you. "Y/N, are your parents bothering you again?" You bit your lip before nodding slowly. "Yeah... they want me to move to Florida with 'em. But they know I love it here!"

You put a hand to your head and sat on a bench that just happened to be there, Mario sitting beside you. "I've been living in this kingdom for what's about to be two years now... and all of a sudden they want me to leave?"

Mario grumbled. You glanced at him. "As your friend, I say you forget about them. But then as your fiancé... I say you need to have a serious conversation with them." "Mario, I've tried—" "No. I mean a real serious conversation. Not the stupid arguments they make up so that they can hang up."

You blinked. You didn't consider the arguments stupid.

He noticed how silent you were and sighed. "They can be stupid, Y/N. Admit it..." You thought for a moment. I guess he's right... "Fine, you're right. I will talk to them, but you have to be with me... okay?"

Mario placed a kiss on your lips before nodding. "Okay, love. I promise. Just... don't be surprised if I throw some... Italian words at them here and there."

"Trust me, I wouldn't mind."
