SEASON 4 - LUKANETTE

LUKANETTE S4 - GLACIATOR 2.0 - PT 6

The next morning, Marinette heads over to the Liberty.

‘Okay Tikki, I think I’m finally ready to declare my love for Luka and tell him a love declaration as good as the one he gave me!’

‘Good luck Marinette! I’m sure he’d love anything you say to him!’ Tikki replied.

‘Thanks Tikki!’ Marinette smiled.
‘She got to the Liberty and found Luka in his cabin, playing a sad sounding song on his guitar.

She knocks on his door and he stops playing and looks up.

‘Mari? What are you doing here?’ he asks.

‘I have something I wanted to say to you’ Mari smiled. She noticed he looked kind of sad. ‘Are... are you okay?’

Luka couldn’t hide his feelings any longer and burst out crying.

‘Luka?! What’s wrong?’ Mari asked hugging him.

‘Are you... breaking up with me?’ Luka replied softly between sobs.

‘Of course not! God no! What on earth makes you think that?’ Marinette replied, rubbing his back soothingly.

‘Well... because I saw you and Cat Noir hanging out yesterday and going to a movie and I was a little bit jealous I guess. I thought he was...replacing me.’

‘Luka...’ Mari whispered, breaking out of the hug and holding his face in her hands, looking lovingly into his eyes.

‘I could never stop loving you. You’re the symphony of my life, my only constant who knows the real me. You read me better than anyone else. You care for me, love me and share my good days and bad days. You’re the most understanding and patient person I know. You waited so patiently for me to sort out my feelings and loved me constantly. I could never imagine being with anyone else but you, Luka. I love you with all my heart. Without you, my life would lose its rhythm. I want to grow old together with you... Luka Couffaine...’

She kissed his face all over, kissing away all his tears and heartache.

Luka was in shock. He’d never heard anything so beautiful in his life. ‘My melody...’ he whispered and laid her on the bed and started kissing her face all over as well.

‘Oh Luka... I love you so much!’ Mari breathed.

‘I love you so much too my melody...’ Luka smiled, lying next to her and smiling lovingly at her as he caressed her hair. ‘I can’t believe that I assumed the worst.’

‘When you saw me with Cat Noir, I was practicing my love declaration to you. I needed someone I have no romantic interest in, so that I could get a second opinion on it. It was getting stressful, so we saw a movie together. Nothing romantic though, just an action movie. Then when we went back to practicing, Glaciator showed up again because with all the stress of the ‘Couple of the Year’ thing, I forgot to give him a magical charm. He thought we were in love but I explained I was only practicing my love declaration to the one I really love. But he didn’t believe us. He thinks Cat Noir and Ladybug are meant to be together. But he’s wrong. Ladybug and Viperion are' Mari breathed, holding Luka tightly in her arms, never wanting to let him go.

‘Oh my melody... you don’t know how happy I am to hear you say that’ Luka whispered happily.

‘Oh, I still have to tell you my love declaration!’ Mari replied.

‘You mean what you said just now... wasn’t it? I thought it was the most perfect, beautiful declaration I have ever heard in my life!’ Luka smiled lovingly at her.

‘Really? I’m so glad...’ Mari whispered softly as Luka leaned in closer and kissed her lips gently.

‘I want to grow old together with you too... my melody...’ Luka whispered, looking lovingly into her eyes and caressing her face.
