Miraculous YN

Chapter 18: Thinking About Feelings

Alya
Girl, I don't know exactly what's going on with you, but I'm pretty sure it's about Luka.

You
Wooooow how did you guess?!

Alya
Okay, I'm not loving this colour on you

You
Neither am I
But I do this when I'm angry

Alya
So what happened?

You
I'm gonna come off as totally crazy for this, but bear with me

Alya
Alright alright
Come on girl, spill

You
Well I thought me and Luka kind of had a thing going

Alya
A thing?

You
Well he flirted with me I think

Alya
You think?
You were right you sound crazy
What's with all the uncertainty?

You
Well I know there was something.
Even Jules said so.
Plus he tried to kiss me once, but we were sorta interrupted

Alya
Wait wait wait hold up
KISS YOU?!

You
Yeah

Alya
Oh I get it
Seeing him and Marinette getting so close must have been unsettling

You
That's one word for it
But she was getting so flustered!
Well, not Adrien level, but still pretty flustered which means she's into him. And clearly he's into her too

Alya
We don't know for sure if he's into her

You
But you're not saying Mari isn't
And also, you were there
There was clearly something going on

Alya
I'm sorry Yn
I told her to move on from Adrien because of how impossible dating him is if he never shows up

You
It's fine Alya
I don't blame Mari or you at all

Alya
Fr?

You
Yeah
You guys didn't know
Only Luka, Jules, me and maybe Rose
But I guess I don't get to be mad. It's not like we're dating or anything.

Alya
Girl
You have every right to be mad
He led you on!

You
I guess
But I don't really have it in me to hate him
I'm sure there's just something I'm missing.

Alya
You're too good for this world <3

Unread messages from: Luka Couffaine

I close messages and open an app that I know will keep me busy for a hot minute. I don't feel like dealing with this today. I consider suiting up and swinging around to clear my head, but that would mean dealing with the heroes I might have ditched yesterday.

Why did I have to get so touchy and irritated? That doesn't usually happen.

Scratch that. It never happens.

It's all because of that dumb but wonderful guitarist. And of course the person I would usually vent to is probably in 'totally normal civilian mode' right now. Plus I don't want to have to explain myself to him.

I know I have a crush on Luka. I'm not in denial or anything, but it's very unlikely that I'll do anything about it. I'm also not oblivious to the fact that I've caught myself admiring stripper boy a few times. But that moment on the boat put things into place for me. It was an actual sorta romantic, sorta deep moment. Chat and I have never had one of those.

We usually just tease and taunt each other, sometimes teaming up against LB. So I figured out that it was Luka that I really had my eye on.

But Mari. Oh Mari. She just has to have both of them wrapped around her finger even though she only wants Adrien.

She doesn't do it on purpose. She's sweet, nice.

She's a good friend too.

But seriously, why be so possessive of Chat if you turn him down? Why set your sights on Luka?

I just don't get it.
