The Song of The Serpent (Luka Couffaine x Reader) MLB

"(Y/N)... Your father and I... Have to go away for awhile."

"What do you mean for a while?"

"She means for a long time, my love."

Your father kisses you on the forehead tenderly.

"What happened? Why are you guys leaving?!"

"Something came up with one of our projects and we have to go immediately."

"Why can't I come along?"

"It's too dangerous sweetie... You're going to be staying with a family friend for the time being... We'll try to come back as soon as possible..."

Your mom says as she gives you a big hug. 

"We'll be back."

~~~~~

They say, walking through the door... But they never returned. 

A few days after they left to god knows where, an explosion took place in their lab off the coast of  Barbados. There were several casualties accounted for, two of them were your parents. They were scientists for the French Government and had always gone away for months on end working on projects for the Prime Minister. But this time their project obviously didn't go as planned. 

It's been several months since this happened, and you'd been staying with your grandparents in Catalonia ever since. You were allotted time to cope with this incident, but now it was time to blend in with society again. It was the week before your senior year of high school, and you were finally 18. Though you had the choice to do whatever you want, you decided to finish off high school for your parents' sake, since they always wanted to see you walk to get your diploma. Luckily enough the family friend your parents wanted you to stay with was more than willing to take you in again. But the problem was you would have to move to Paris, a place you've never been to before. 

~~~~~

You took a leap of faith and are now standing in the middle of Paris, in front of the Eiffel tower. Mrs. Couffaine couldn't meet with you immediately because of prior obligations, but she did give you an address and told you to take a look around the City of Love. Which you happily did.

You walked all over, talking to different people and trying different things. You stumbled upon a little bakery called Tom and Sabine and had the most delicious macarons you've ever tasted. Though you were tired from walking around a whole lot you were super happy and excited to explore more.

~~~~~

You decided to take a little break from walking and sat on the edge of a lake walk. Today had been fun, and the sun was starting to set. Out of nowhere, a little melody started to play, which soothed your tired soul. You'd never heard something so beautiful. Being the explorer you are, you decided to search for the source of the beautiful tune, and lo and behold a beautiful boy was the culprit. You stood there in awe staring at him, he was in his own little world, playing on an old fender. Then he starts to sing.

"Loving you isn't the easiest thing. I wish you'd recognize me, recognize the love from me. Every day that goes by, the sadness in your eyes dims the light. All I want to do is wipe your sorrows away."

He continues to strum.

"Sometimes I wonder if you'd ever feel the same. Or just look the other way, towards him. You mean the world to me, but he means the world to you. And sometimes I wonder if he's the one for you~?"

You start to sniffle, you could feel the sadness through his lyrics and couldn't help but cry. He opens his eyes and looks at you startled.

"O-Oh hi! Sorry, didn't mean to scare you, I was just listening to your song!"

You laugh nervously. He gives a small smile.

"It's fine, I didn't expect anyone to be listening to me."

He laughs. 

"Sorry... It's a great song though! Did you write it yourself?"

"Yes ma'am!"

He smiles, you couldn't help but blush. The boy was pretty darn cute.

"I'm Luka, nice to meet you, miss?"

He sticks out his hand.

"(Y/N)."

You take his hand and shake it. A loud sound comes from your pocket scaring the both of you. It was your alarm to start heading for Mrs. Couffaine's house. 

"I'd love to stay and chat longer, but I have to skedaddle, I'm meeting someone soon."

You chuckle.

"No problem! I was just about to head out myself, nice meeting you (Y/N)!"

~~~~~

You were caught a little off guard by the traffic at night but managed to make it to the building alright. The picture she sent you and the address match up so you decide to knock on the door. 

"One sec!"

A voice yells from the other side of the door followed by an array of falling things and tumbling. The door swings open.

"Sorry! I was in the shower can I-"

You come face to face with Luka
