Balance (Luka Couffaine X Fem-Reader)

XLVI: Reverser

Hello everyone, fist thank you to all the votes, and reads. Second, sorry for the late update, my recovery took longer than expected, but now I present to you...Reverser.

(Y/n Pov)

Even though I had started modelling again, I had made a deal with my father that I would be allowed to stay at school during my free period every other week to practice in the art room. Plus, there was a wedding.

As usual, my father volunteered Adrein and me to play, so I was practicing 'A Thousand Years', the couple's favourite song, instead of my usual practice for the Kitty section.

~Flashback~

"Why did you agree to the wedding?" Adrien asked as we practiced in his room.

"Because I have a plan," I said, pausing for dramatic effect. "Two violins, a piano, and a guitar."

Adrien gave me a look. "I can't play guitar well. And you can't play more than one instrument at once."

I rolled my eyes. "What she means," Yang chimed in as he and Plagg munched on cheese, "is that more instruments would sound better."

"But—" Adrien started.

"Adrien," Yin interrupted, "your sister knows Luka and Juleka. They could learn the song and play."

"Exactly. That's the plan," I confirmed.

Adrien raised an eyebrow. "He'd never agree to that."

"He already did," I said casually, adjusting the sheet music. "Why do you think I said yes to this wedding? Dad needs me, and I need backup if I survive another one."

Adrien burst out laughing, and Plagg snorted.

"I should've known. So, what's the plan?"

"You'll see."

Later, we stood on the stage, instruments in hand.

"We all have different schedules, and Adrien and I won't always be around," I explained to Luka and Jules. "So we're going to record each part to practice independently. Let's try to get it right the first time."

"So, when one of us isn't here, we'll just play along with the others' recordings?" Luka asked, tuning his violin.

"Exactly," I nodded. "We'll start by recording Adrien."

It took a few hours, but we recorded everything we needed. Then we took a well-earned break with some pizza.

"I still don't get why you agreed to the wedding," Luka said between bites. "You hate fancy events."

I laughed. "True, but an excuse to hang out with my three favourite people? Worth it."

"So what's the dress code?" Jules asked.

I glanced at Adrien, who suddenly looked very uncomfortable.

"Very formal," I said. "Dad's been talking about matching outfits."

Adrien mumbled, "But there's one issue..."

"What issue?" Luka asked.

I sighed. "Your hair is dyed."

"Oh."

"Don't worry," I said with a grin. "I've got an idea. But first, we practice."

~End of Flashback~

I practiced using the recording I had to play as if the others were with me. I had headphones on so no one would hear the other instruments, only my violin. I sat on the stage as Alix worked on her art behind me.
