#he's not quite dad shaped (unless you're floyd) but definitely gay uncle shaped

[duckapus]

I like to think that with Amitie working at the flower shop the other Primp Town kids start sort of gravitating towards it, so now Luigi's sort of become the surrogate Weird Gay Uncle to a bunch of magical teenagers. He doesn't mind, of course, even if sometimes he has to break up an argument between Klug and Raffina (or worse, Klug and Feli) that's getting too heated, or tell Sig for the third time this week that while he's sure his bug friends are very polite and won't cause trouble the customers and health inspectors probably won't be as understanding, or deal with the fact that now their Puyo-related crises get brought to his shop along with the usual Meme-related ones.

At first he figures that it's just because their friend's there most of the time, but after a while they start sometimes coming over even on Amitie's days off. Usually just as a place to meet up before they go off and do whatever brought them to the city that day, but sometimes they'll be seeking him out for one reason or another (usually Lidelle caught up in her anxieties, or Tartar feeling left behind, and he understands those all too well so he gladly lends a sympathetic ear), and eventually without realizing it he shifts from thinking of them as "Amitie and her friends" to adding them in with Floyd as "my kids," even the older, more independent ones like Lemres and the local Arle, or the less frequent visitors like the Suzuran Physics Club. Not his kids in quite the same way as Mario and the SMGs have theirs, but still his.
