Autumn's Bounty (LukaxReader) (AdrienxReader)

Chapter Sixteen

(A/N: sooo so sorry ! i realized like a couple days after posting that chapter how awkward it was?? idk i need a redo.)

Maybelle's pov

I stood in front of the school, laughing with Alya, Nino, and Marinette as Alya yammered on about her and Nino being caught sneaking around the previous night. The chattering around us came to a sudden halt and Alya's face dropped.

"Uh, Maybelle?" She murmured, pointing behind me as whispers filled the air.

'Isn't that Maybelle's boyfriend?'

'Oh my god!'

'What happened to him?'

I whipped around to find Luka walking toward us, looking rather smug. I stared in disbelief, my mouth agape. What happened? The bruises on his face seemed to get worse and worse as he got closer, his eyes were bloodshot, his cheek a bit swollen and stained a dark purple.

"Holy shit." I said quietly, making my way over to meet him. "What the fuck happened to you??"

Luka chuckled a bit and grimaced, holding his swollen cheek.
"Nothing, really.." he answered. The smug attitude he held moments ago was gone, and he looked around insecurely. "Is everyone still staring at me?" Luka whispered.

"Well you're completely covered in bruises, Luka. What do you expect them to do?" I consoled, walking him towards our friends. A tinge of pink rested on his skin as I held his hands gently.

"O-M-G! You have to tell us what happened!! Who did you fight, who won?! How does the other guy look?!??" Alya blurted immediately, giving Luka no time to respond between questions.
Thankfully, the bell rang and I quickly excused us.
I rushed him to the empty cafeteria, and sat him down at our regular table.

"Alright, spill." I demanded, staring into his pleading eyes. When he didn't answer for a moment I raised my eyebrows, throwing my hands up in a "hurry up" manner.

Luka sighed heavily before giving in.
"I... I got into a fight with a random guy on the street. He was harassing some girl and it escalated quickly.." He mumbled. "I-I didn't think it'd go that far, I swear."

I gave him a skeptical look, but ultimately accepted it, Luka was the type to defend others. I breathed out as I lowered my hand to his cheek, barely touching his wounds. He winced slightly, leaning into my touch.

"Poor boy," I whispered.

"Damn! That is a good ass-whooping story!" Marinette noted, stabbing into a strawberry with her fork.

"Can you guys stop talking about it? I just wanna forget it even happened.." Luka grumbled, his arms crossed as he leaned his head on my shoulder.

"Have fun forgetting you're missing an entire tooth, dude." Nino laughed.

"I just wanna see the other guy! Was it a fair match?" Alya gushed and nudged at Luka.

"I gotta get some fresh air." Luka sighed as he got up from the table.

After he was out of sight, I glared at our friends.
"He said to quit it," I huffed. "You guys have to drop it, it probably hurts for him to even talk!" I grabbed mine and Luka's bag and headed in his direction.
On the way, a blur of blonde passed by, his head down.

"Adrien?" I called out, backtracking to him.

He whirled around, a worried expression on his face. My brows furrowed as I stepped closer to him.
