The One That Stayed (Luka Couffaine x reader)

~The Music Video~

Luka and I had been thinking about how to do our next music video, it was going to be released as a single, and Adrien helped us get the cover photo. Even though we are singing a duet, Luka wanted me to be the cover because it was my first single with the band. The image came out well, I just released it on Instagram, after a wave of shock came over me, my Instagram has blown up along with my band mates pages as well. 

~Luka's POV~ 

We blew up, I still cant wrap my head around it. All of a sudden my phone pings, y/n posted on Insta? It's the cover image for our new single. She looks beautiful. I like and comment before getting ready for our dance practice. We record part of the music video tomorrow, I need to be ready. 

~Time skip~

I know y/n and I decided to not hop into a relationship because we still have baggage to deal with and neither are ready for a new relationship just yet.  I still ask and take her on dates. Honestly I think she had the right idea, this is amazing, but also torture at the same time, because all I really want is to be with her already. Regardless, I just got to the studio, y/n is already inside practicing, I'm even early. She is so dedicated. 

"Hey cinnamon roll, you ready, I have our vocals and music all set up to play." She asks me.

"Yeah, let's get working on the final touches of Unsteady!" I respond confidently.

"I think you will land it today, don't worry" She reassures me, through this choreography, there is one move I still have not been able to do. 

The music begins to play.

I did it, normally I couldn't pick her up from her legs like that, I would struggle out of fear from dropping her on her head.  

"That was perfect!" She cheered and jumped into my arms. I held her tight while she wrapped her legs around my torso. She looked me straight in my eyes, and I could see she was trying to hold herself back because she hated leading me on, but next thing I know, we are there, kissing and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

"Now we just need to to the actual video" I laugh after our lips separate.

"True, we have another hour before recording, the band told me they were going to spend the morning setting up, wanna walk around a bit?" She asked, her eyes full of bliss.

"Anything for you Princess" I say while playfully grinning at her. A blush spreads across her cheeks. 

We spend the next hour walking around Paris and taking the long way to the shoot, when we got there, all our friends were there waiting, everything was set up and it looked stunning. Y/n and I went to our respective dressing rooms and got into our costumes, the rest of the band was in all black at their instruments, we were doing this weird, we were playing our music live in the video. I walk out in my white suit, before seeing y/n stand before me in the white dress on the cover photo of our single. She took my breath away. Before I know it we begin shooting the video. We did the dance again, but this time while singing into our mic's (that are ear pieces). 

Her voice was angelic, the amount of power and emotion she put behind every word. I was mesmerized. Everything we did completely in sync, our energy was electric, and I cannot help but wonder if the cameras are picking up the same energy the is en captivating this place. That is when it happened, when y/n and I seemed to fade into our own world, about 45 seconds into the song, I could tell we were both feelings like the only two in the world by the look on her face and how we never broke eye contact unless the choreography made us do so. This place, this moment, this girl, is the feeling I have been missing. I love this girl, which I already knew, but I love her more than life itself. 

I swear on everything in my heart, I will marry this girl.

The song ended and at a lost of breathe me and y/n ended the dance as it was meant to end, she stood up and turned around only to be engulfed in a hug by me. Every in the room could see my intentions from a mile away and all scattered out the the neighboring room, some with their own intent to listen in, and some with the intent to purely just give us space. 

"Y/n, I know we agreed waiting was best, but please tell me you felt what I felt back there." I began. 

"Luka I-" She began but the words swarming my head began to flood out.

"I have loved you for years and I honestly could never stop loving you, when my dad... when he left to pursue his career I couldn't understand why until we sat down and he said, he loved us, but he was too scared of messing up. I never want you to feel how I felt when he left, yes I am terrified of messing up, but I refuse to lose you because of it. Y/n I swear on my life, on my music, that I will never stop loving you, I see myself marrying you, having a family with you. So please, don't let fear prevent you, prevent us, from happening. Please." I rush out with tears streaming down my face.

"Lu, yes, of course I am scared of messing everything up, but you're right, I cannot live my life in fear, so yes, yes Lu" She cries, burying her head in my chest. I hold her tight.

"Y/n, Will you be my girlfriend?" I ask

"Yes Lu!" She yells as she wraps her arms around my neck, hugging me tighter than I ever thought she could.

"Hey Juliet" I begin.

"Yes?" She answers.

"Forever and always, you are my endgame." I say while picking her chin up and looking her in her eyes. 

Tears run down our faces while we both lean in, this kiss feeling different that all the other. The feelings of love that were there in the past seem to be stronger, but now it's as if all of our feelings have been unlocked, by one simple kiss, our love, our hesitation, our fear, our need for one another. 

Everyone was listening, some even watching since I began the spiel about my dad and my fear. 

"It's about damn time!" Marinette yells, shocking everyone, because well, she never swears. 

Nevertheless everyone engulfed us in a hug, and we spent the night not only celebrating the new single, and music video being finished, and the new relationship in the group.
