Picking Locks

"I'd be careful leaving Mario alone with him, you know." Daisy says as Peach lays down a pink picnic blanket on the wet grass and Daisy keeps a close eye on what Mario and Luigi are doing. Which is basically nothing, they're just sitting on a bench a few feet away and Luigi's shoving a ham sandwich in his mouth while Mario is swinging his legs idly and rolling an apple between his hands.

"What are you talking about?" Peach questions and raises her head up to look at her while she tries to smooth out the wrinkles in the blanket.

"You know, them, those two, over there." Daisy drags out roughly. "There's something weird going on there."

"Oh, don't be silly." Peach says while making a weird gesture with her hand like she's trying to shoo away a fly. "There's nothing weird about it." Daisy looks at her with disbelief written clearly on her face.

"I can't believe you don't notice it!" She hisses and squeezes her juice box by accident. Peach raises an eyebrow.

"Notice what?" Peach says while narrowing her brilliant blue eyes.

"Don't you think that he's sometimes overly affectionate?"

"No, not at all." Peach says with a merry little laugh and Daisy flinches. "Besides, aren't brothers supposed to be affectionate?"

"I said overly affectionate." Daisy admonishes and pinches the other girls arm, leaving a small red mark. "Do you listen to me when I speak?"

Peach just sort of shrugs and takes a popsicle out of the cooler and peels the wrapper off. Daisy's eyes float over to Mario and Luigi again and they seem to be discussing something and Daisy notices a small glint in Mario's eyes.

"Besides, how is he overly affectionate?" Peach asks while making air quotes with her hands around the sentence and Daisy glares at her.

"It's the way he hugs him and stuff like that."

Peach frowns around her popsicle.

"So, Mario hugging Luigi is considered inappropriate now?"

"No, it's not that." Daisy sighs.

"So, what is it then?"

"Never mind, you obviously don't believe me." She mumbles and turns away from Peach who is glad the conversation has been dropped and goes back to her popsicle.

"So, are you having fun?" Mario asks while scooting a little closer to Luigi who is on his fourth sandwich already.

"Umhm." He affirms while taking a bite out of the sandwich and struggling to tear a piece of the bread off while trying to keep the tomato at the end from slipping out.

"Hungry?" Mario asks with a laugh and Luigi nods, smiling around his sandwich while the tomato slips out onto the dirt below unknowingly. Mario slides his hand onto Luigi's thigh casually and it's amazing how Luigi's not uncomfortable right now.

"Yummy." Luigi mumbles and Mario's watching him intently while his hand inches up a little further. "Do you want some?" He offers and works on breaking the sandwhich in half without sending the condoments inside onto the dirt.

"No, that's okay." Mario says in a somewhat flirtatious tone and his hand is now on Luigi's shoulder and his lips on Luigi's neck.

"Ah! Stop it!" Luigi squeaks while trying not to laugh. "That tickles!"

Mario doesn't listen and continues kissing Luigi's neck impatiently.

"What do you call that?" Daisy asks with an 'I told you so' tone and points a gloved finger over at the scene and it looks like all the color has drained from Peach's skin.

"They're just..." She trails off and swallows hard. "Playing around."

"Suuure," Daisy mumbles with a smug grin on her face. "Whatever you say."
