Music Strings • Luka Couffaine

|Chapter 29|

(Y/N) and Luka were silent the whole way there. It's as if they have something really deep and important that they wanted to say to each other, but didn't know if it was the right time to say it out loud.

Luka wanted to just say it, say everything that he feels. Everytime he's with her, it seems as if the fun never ends. Just being near her, beside her, makes him happy. He wanted to tell her all these bubbling feelings that is just waiting to pop out.

He bit down on his lip as he looks at (Y/N) form, his gaze soft and discreet. She has her arms crossed, her form slumped and tired due to the lack of sleep.

(Y/N) on the other hand, has also been feeling these things. For a very long time now,  actually. Ever since she stepped foot here in Paris, in Collège Françoise Dupont, she's never felt the time. Ever since she met Luka, talked to him, have him comfort her, she's never felt the same.

There's a probability that even when the media has left her alone, she still won't be able to sleep. The thought of Luka just consumes her very being. He's in her thoughts everyday, all day long.

Luka started to think, he started to think real bad. He bit down on his lip, his thoughts swirling like a huge tornado inside his mind.

'Is she mad at me because I was to touchy-feely?'

'Doesen't she feel these feelings I've been feeling?'

'Maybe I should confess already.'

'No no.. she might hit me. Or maybe accept my feelings.'

Lukas thoughts halted to a stop as he hears this familiar voice calling out his name. The voice so chiming and soft that he immediately recognizes it. He looks to see (Y/N)'s gaze on him, her eyes held confusion and her face seemed flushed.

"Luka?" (Y/N) called out his name, giving him a gentle poke in the arm. Lukas head shot up, his eyes became wide and frantic.

"W-what?" He then said, his voice was kinda jittery and stern that it made (Y/N) flinch back a bit. He didn't mean to frighten her, he just got surprised.

He rubbed the nape of his neck and gave (Y/N) an apologetic smile, heaving out a small awkward laugh. "I-i'm sorry I was so lost I'm thought. I didn't mean to scare you!" Luka then reassures her.

(Y/N) have him a confused look, her brows raised as her (E/C) orbs were lingering with amusement.

"Okay then..? I just wanted you to know that we're already here and the girls are already inside." She then said, pointing out the three girls ordering food inside the bakery.

"O-oh! Alright then! I'll just.. I'll just sit here." He then rambled, sitting on a random seat infront of the bakery. (Y/N) looks back at the three girls, then back at Luka. She shrugged and sat on the empty seat beside him.

"I'll just wait here too." She then said.

Luka took a small gulp, he didn't expect her to make that move. He thought that she was furious at him, that she didn't want to be near him. But he definitely thought wrong.

A wave of silence crashed through them, the atmosphere dull and grey. They didn't dare speak, they didn't even bother asking about their days and whatnot. (Y/N) bit down on her lip, she needed some sort of distraction to pass the awkward atmosphere.

She whips out her phone and started to scroll some, trying to seem that she was busy doing something. (Y/N) opens up the 'Ladyblog'. A site that Juleka and Rose insisted on downloading on her phone she she could be updated on the latest hero trends.

She scrolls down an reads some of the newest articles. Nothing too out of the ordinary, just some plain old superhero stuff. But then she stopped on her tracks as she sees this familiar hero. Her cheeks started tinting red, and her heart fluttering the teeniest bit.

He wears a black, teal, and cyan suit, appearing to be slender and muscular. His suit has a snake texture along with the same kind of underbelly like a snake and has a cyan colored mask around his eyes. And his black hair were adorned in green/teal highlights.

His eyes were a beautiful green/teal, they were almost mesmerizing and entrancing. It's as if when you look at it for to long, it'll trap you in it's mesmerizing gaze for forever.

'Viperion.'

She remember that very eventful day, the day where she met that cunning Serpent themed hero. He was so kind, so courageous, understanding, brave. Viperion reminded her of some other person, some other person that she also really adores.

'Luka.'

She discreetly looks at Lukas form, he was playing with the napkins like a child. But (Y/N) deemed him more as silly than a child. Come to think of it, Luka and Viperion do have the same kind of features.

The hair, the mesmerizing eyes, the kindness and determination. She has no doubts about it.

"Hey Luka." (Y/N) then calls out. Luka shot his head up, his cheeks tinted red as he sees (Y/N) looking at him, then back at his mini napkin boat. He set the little napkin boat down and gave (Y/N) a small smile, rubbing the nape of his neck as he scolds himself for being such a child.

"What is it, (Y/N)?" He then asked.

(Y/N) whips out her phone and handed it to Luka. He looks at the article with Viperion on the front page, his eyes widened in surprise.

"He kinda looks like you." (Y/N) then commented, and that had his heart halting to a stop. He didn't know how to respond to that.

Lukas heart started beating frantically against his chest as he thinks of some kind of excuse, something to get him out of this conversation.

"I-i uh..."
