You Are Home

20. Homeless Cat

[Season Finale]

~~~~
"Why are you home so early?" His mom asks but Luka does not answer and instead proceeds to walk past her "Luka!"

"No reason" he mumbles

"Luka!"

He turns around angrily and looks at her "Mom!....I got sent home! They will probably send a stupid email telling you all about it anyways so you don't need to hear my explanation I'm sorry I had an attitude towards some lady who doesn't even like her job by the way" he rolls his eyes "anyways she didn't like me so she sent me home....can I go?" He says with a cold expression

"Yes..." she sighs "go ahead...if you're hungry come get me"

"Okay" he says walking off into his room and closing the door, when he turns around away from the door he freezes at the sight through his window.
He walks towards the window and hits it scaring the cat

"Why are you sleeping at my window like a homeless cat?" Chat rubs his eyes cutely trying to fully wake up
"why are you home so early...weren't you at school?"

"Chat" Luka says coldly

".....Yes"

"Leave"

"Luka please"

"Leave"

"Luka let me in...let me explain!"

"No! Leave I don't wanna see you right now!" He says turning around his back faced to Chat but still standing where he was

"W-why.. don't say that! please let me explain Luka! I'm sorry okay I'm sorry!" He says hitting the window
"I was an asshole...I was scared! I was scared of what would happen! I was so so scared that you would turn against me too! I was scared you would leave...I didn't mean to hurt you like that....I'm sorry let me back in please...I feel so lost...you've locked me out for so long I really wanna come in...I'm cold, I'm hungry, I-I'm really freezing!...and I miss you..a lot" he says sobbing like a kid "I'm sorry" he cries "I won't do it again....let me in"

with tears rolling down his face Luka turns around to see Chat sobbing with his hand on the window, he walks towards the window and opens it. Chat jumps in onto Luka and sobs "I'm sorry! I'll show you! I'll tell you everything please I'm sorry!" He says clinging to him

"Gosh" Luka sighs also crying laying his back flat on the ground and Chat on top of him

"I'm sorry" Chat continues to sob "I-I'll show you who I am"

"Y-you don't have to-"

"But I want to! I want to....I'm so tired of hiding everything! I don't even care what they will do to me if I tell you! I just want to tell you everything! I wanna keep you around...I need you around"

"Chat?"

"It's been 4 days...4 whole days...I miss you so much"  Chat says burying his face in the hug

" Chat...where have you been? I was scared I lost you and it was all my fault for overreacting! I was so scared you would never come back! Ladybug caught some Akumas alone and I was always on the sight just incase you would show up but you never did! And I was just so mad that you thought I could do something so bad! All I did was try to understand you and be there for you! I wanted you to be there for me too! I was struggling but you left me every time you needed to turn back and that's why I wanted to know your identity so bad....I thought if I knew you'd stay with me longer a-and that was so selfish of me and I understand now if you don't want to see me or hang out with me anymore-"

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Chat says lifting up his head that was buried in Luka's chest
"that's- I never said that! You did not overreact at all! I deserved it! Every inch of pain that I got from being away from you I deserved it!!! I'm sorry! I made a mistake, I was just so scared I didn't want to lose you! I was scared that the only person I trusted sold me out! I wanna tell you everything I'm just scared....I hate myself so much and I hurt you which makes me despise myself even more! Even after being passed out for so long I still suffered so much! I missed you so much! Even though I was confused I still missed you I- I missed you so much! I can't explain the feelings I got at the thought of losing you but I know that I never want to feel them again!...I just feel so comfortable around you and I never want to not feel that with you! even though I'm the super hero I feel so safe and protected around you! I never wanted to admit that I depended on you so much and that's why I looked for a reason to separate myself from you I didn't want to get so attached and then lose you like always! that's why I overreacted but when I tried to finally do it and exclude myself from you, I almost killed myself!"
Chat continues not noticing Luka's eyes following him everywhere he looks or turns "I-I'm sorry...hurting you was the worse thing I've ever done!"

"I'm sorry too...I didn't think about the consequences of my request...I caused so much damage without even knowing! I regretted being mad the moment I didn't see you come back I wanted to see you so bad I wanted to tell you I would never do that to you! But then you never came back and stupid Adrian has been missing too so it had me think some stupid shit!!"

"W-wait what about Adrian?"

"W-well he's been gone for the same amount of time as you and I kinda miss him- but I missed you so much more then I missed him and then you guys have similar scars on your stomachs! A-and you smell really similar...s-so it had me making stupid..." Luka slowed down looking at Chat "....connections.... And why are you laughing...I'm being serious"

"Haha...Claws In"
