Marinette's POV

I look up at him tilting my head.

I missed this.

I never meant to hurt him.

I start to feel the need- I start to feel the urge to hug him.. to be with him again.

I just miss him so damn much.

It was instinct to save him from the bomb... I just-

That's when I grab his leather tail and bring Chat closer to me before closing the gap with a kiss.

No One's POV

It's hard to explain what happened last night or where it led.

What came over her? Truly a mystery... she had no idea herself.

It just sorta happened...

Now, what came next, is a different story....

Luka's heart jumped out of his chest. Marinette was his friend. She was incredibly brave, kind, generous, and amiable, and now she was pulling him into a kiss in her bedroom as his alter ego.

The boy froze, unable to move for a second.

This is insane. This is insane. This is insane. This is insane.

Her lips were so soft and warm, pressed against his, he didn't know how to react but kissed her back reluctantly and shortly before pulling away.

"Listen Marinette... I- I don't want to take advantage of you like this- besides, Ladybug and I just broke up-"

The words tumbled off of his mouth like a waterfall in shock and in an attempt to corral his own feelings.

Her blue belle eyes tumbled into his.

She leaned in, her lips brushing against his ear as she whispered, "Kiss me."

He hesitated for a moment, but the intensity in her eyes left him no choice. She tilted her head and closed the distance, her lips finding his in a kiss that was both gentle and electrifying.

The moment their lips met, a jolt of electricity shot through him. He melted into the kiss, his initial surprise giving way to a profound sense of familiarity and longing. Her lips were soft and inviting, and he felt himself drawn into her, unable to resist the pull. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her even closer, as if trying to merge their bodies into one. The kiss deepened, becoming more urgent and passionate, their breaths mingling in the shared space between their faces.

Time seemed to stand still. The world around them faded into a blur of colors and sounds. All that mattered was the connection they shared in that moment. He could taste the hint of her lipstick, a sweet and intoxicating flavor that left him craving more. His hands moved to the small of her back, pressing her against him, feeling the rapid beat of her heart matching his own.

As the kiss lingered, he felt a strange sense of déjà vu from the taste of her.

Almost like-

"Ladybug." He whispered into her mouth.

They broke apart almost immediately-

"What?" She breathed, her face paling and her eyes frantic.
