Jealous (Lukanette)

Luka's POV

1 week later...

It's been one week since I met Marinette, and my life has changed. I feel like she has awoken something inside of me. It's a feeling so new, I've never experienced it before. It feels pure but feigns the tiniest bit of innocence. It's raw and heartfelt, it honestly brings me to life.

I've noticed my actions changing around her, the way she makes me feel whenever we are near each other. She makes me feel complete, like is the puzzle piece that I have been missing my whole life. There has been a change in the way I feel about her, it's become more than just a friendship. I know it's not love because it's way too early for that, but I think it could be with time. She's miraculous and so unexpected, over this past week we've come to know each other on a deeply emotional level. I feel as if I could trust her with my life. God what am I thinking, I only just met her a week ago, but I can't deny that it feels like I've known her my whole life.

We have been hanging out almost everyday after school since we met, whether she comes to the Liberty or I go over to the bakery. We study, talk about life, and just enjoy each other's company. I don't know how to explain it but she is different. I've never met anyone like her before, she's like a ray of sunshine constantly lighting up my life. She's expressed to me her feelings for Adrien Agreste and I can't help but feel a little jealous. They haven't talked more than a few words since school started and she told me that they didn't talk over the summer. I know she's hurting because she's in love with him and he loves someone else. I wouldn't know what it feels like because I've never been in love, but I want to help ease some of her pain. I know she isn't a charity case, but she's my friend and that's what friends do. Adrien doesn't deserve someone as nice and caring as Marinette. He's low and only cares about himself and his money. He lets his so called friends push Marinette around and bully her. What kind of friend does that, honestly she's causing herself more pain by holding onto some hope that he could have feelings for her. I mean it could happen but he's with Kagami. I wouldn't put it past him to cheat but you would have to be a grade-a douche to do that. She deserves someone who is kind, has a pure heart, and can love her for everything that she is. Marinette is an extraordinary girl, and I would hate to see her get heartbroken by someone like Adrien. He doesn't deserve her love or affection, frankly I don't think he deserves anything. Ok calm down Luka you're getting worked up over nothing, just go to sleep and you'll see Marinette tomorrow at school.

*Cue Luka's dream*

It's a Friday and school is almost over, I'm counting the minutes waiting for the bell to ring and signify the end of the day. I just want to get to Marinette and ask her if she would like to go to our favorite study spot. It used to be her place to go whenever she would design but now it's where we go to hang out and have fun. Ever since the first day we talked I've noticed that she has changed up her style a bit, and I'm not the only one who noticed. According to all her friends she used to wear the same pink jeans, white floral shirt, and weird gray-brown coat everyday. I think it had something to do with me complimenting her on her brilliant designs but I can't take the credit. Alya thinks that Marinette is finally coming out of her shell. She talks more and doesn't stutter as much and she seems overall more outgoing. Alya insists that it has something to do with me, but I just believe that she has finally gained her confidence and found herself. I'm suddenly startled by the bell sounding and I'm off. I rush through the halls and make it to the entrance where I wait for Marinette. I see her walking with Adrien and something inside me lights up. It's not my place to tell her who she can and can't hang out with but she shouldn't be with him. I feel that if I were to tell her that he will only cause her harm, that she would take back our friendship and leave me. I can't bear to see her hurt, but I keep my mouth shut as Adrien walks away. I see Marinette walking towards me and she just radiates an energy so pure and light, it's intoxicating. As she reaches me we pull each other into a swift friendly hug, the tiny things like this I cherish. "Hello Marinette, would you like to study at our spot today?" I ask secretly hoping she doesn't have any plans since it is a Friday night. "Actually I have to do something with Alya till around seven, but we can meet up thereafter if you would like." She has this sparkle in her eyes as she talks to me, it's utterly captivating and draws me in. I feel as if I could get lost in her bluebell eyes forever. "Of course, yeah that's fine. Well I guess I will see you later." She gives me a soft kiss on the cheek that makes my heart melt and then says, "Goodbye Luka, I'll see you later tonight." Then she's off, I watch her as she walks away admiring how she now carries herself. She holds her head high and walks with an air that shouts 'I am confident.' I slowly make my way to the Liberty, and I can't help but think about what tonight will be like. The sun will be setting with colored streaked across the sky, then the Eiffel Tower will light up once night falls. I can imagine how her eyes will reflect the dozens of twinkling lights and how she would just stare at them with a look of awe. The next thing I know is I'm in my room and then black takes over.
