Chapter Text
A leisurely stroll through the Mario Kart tracks led the pair to a hill overlooking Peach's castle. Night had fallen and stars sparkled overhead.
"Golly." Felix uttered as he looked up. "So many stars. I don't think my game could ever render this many."
He let go of Mario's hand and darted forward, his face alight with joy.
"A shooting star! Oh, make a wish, quick!"
Joining him, Mario took his hand again. "Already got my wish."
Felix's blush deepened as Mario caressed his cheek, his hand coming to rest on the heated skin.
The two gazed at each other, hearts pounding as they drew close.
The kiss was gentle, Felix's eyes closing as he reached up, this time not to push Mario away but lightly hold his shoulders as Mario wrapped his arms around him.
The warmth became a heat, the tenderness turning to a passion that left both breathless as they parted.
"M-Mario," Felix's eyes were nearly glazed over, "I'm not the kinda fella to say this to anyone but I mean," he peered out from under the bill of his hat, a look Mario found endearing, "the penthouse does get awful lonely at night."
Taking his hand, Mario silently led him back to the tram. Slipping past the still going party, they quietly made their way to Felix's game and up to the penthouse.
Had anyone been outside, they would have seen that up in the Penthouse bedroom two shadows met in a passionate embrace.
The next morning...
Mario awoke and sighed contentedly. Felix was curled up in the crook of his arm, his head resting on his shoulder as he slept. A tender kiss to the forehead woke him. He stretched, letting out a mewling yawn like a kitten before giving Mario a bleary-eyed smile.
"Mornin'." he mumbled.
A chuckle. "Mornin', sleep okay?"
A sleepy 'mmmhmm' as Felix closed his eyes and put his arm around Mario. "You were incredible."
Warm fingers caressed his cheek, trailing down to lift his chin and give a light kiss.
"So were you."
The two snuggled up together, enjoying each other's warmth. The quiet of the morning was broken as the bedside alarm clock went off. Felix groaned as he turned it off. "Forget to turn that thing off last night."
"I'm awake now, how about we get some breakfast?" Mario sat up and Felix turned red.
"Oh, um, you, you got some scratches there. On your back." he sat up and began looking for his tool-belt amid the scattered clothing on the floor. "Hang on, I can fix em for ya."
He let out a yelp as Mario pinned him back down with a sly grin. "Leave em." the plumber purred as he leaned in close to Felix's ear.
"I like trophies."
His warm breath made the other shudder with pleasure.
"Mamma Mia." Felix breathed in a daze.
Later at the castle track in Mario Kart, two figures were at the starting line having a discussion...
"So what happened? Mario and Felix work things out?" Daisy asked.
"Sure seems like it, Mario didn't come home last night and Ralph said he saw them both holding hands and sneaking into Felix's game." Luigi smirked. Daisy kicked her feet, giddy with laughter.
"I love it! But I wonder something."
Luigi tilted his head, raising an eyebrow. "What?"
She grabbed him, pulling him in for a passionate kiss that made his head spin.
"I wonder," she resumed, letting him go, "is he as bold as you in the bedroom?"
He blushed hotly and then groaned as he pulled his hat over his eyes.
"Euuugh, I do not need to picture that!"
Daisy's laughter traveled over the racetrack. She stifled it but continued giggling as Mario wandered over, eyebrow raised.
"What's got you two goin'?"
"Oh, nothing." Luigi said innocently. "Just didn't think I'd ever see my big bro with a hickey on his neck."
Daisy rolled in wild laughter as Mario frantically checked his neck in the reflection of the nearby kart.
"I'm kiddin', Mario!" Luigi wheezed, tears rolling down his cheeks.
The princess laughed even more as Mario began to playfully chase his brother around, threatening to tickle him in revenge.
Across Game Central Station, Felix whistled happily, tossing his hammer and catching it again as he did a small dance across the floor. Spotting Ralph and Vanellope, he gave a wave.
"Mornin' you two!" he beamed as he approached.
"Well someone's cheery this morning." Ralph said, raising an eyebrow.
Vanellope got a wicked grin that Wario himself would have been proud of.
"Yooooou spent the night with Mario, didn't you?"
Turning pink, Felix folded his arms and refused to look at her. "A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell."
"Fix-It, you're wearing his hat." she deadpanned.
Panicking Felix yanked the hat off his head only to find it was his own, the look on his face sending Vanellope tumbling over in hysterical laughter.
"I knew it! You just gave it away!"
Ralph nudged her arm. "C'mon kid, that's enough." he gently reprimanded. "Seriously though," he smiled warmly to the other. "It's nice to see you happy again, buddy. You deserve it."
Felix practically glowed, a shy smile at the kind words. "T-Thanks, Ralph." he turned towards the Mario Kart port. "It... It doesn't feel so lonely anymore."
Deep within the code vaults of both Fix-It Felix Jr, and Mario Kart, the codes hidden behind the golden hearts of both heroes changed and a new icon appeared. Mario's now held a red heart with Felix's face, and Felix's had Mario.
