"It will be fine."
"It'll be fine."
Both of those phrases came out of the mouths of Kagami and Luka as they tried reassuring their dates that the double date they had planned would not go horrible.
"No, yeah, I know it will," Adrien answered Kagami, flashing her a brief smile. He inspected himself in the full length mirror, adjusting his navy blue blazer. "I just wonder why Marinette planned this whole date?"
Kagami shrugged, slipping on her black flats and reaching for a hair brush off her dresser. "Why not? It's a good way for us to just forget about school for a little and have fun."
Kagami finished brushing her hair and then put it into a tight, low bun. She left a few pieces of hair dangling in front of her eyes. She wore a pair of black skinny jeans and a white zip-up hoodie.
"Yeah," Adrien smiled, feeling more positive. "Okay."
He then turned and looked her up and down. Even though the simple and casual, she was still looking gorgeous. "You look great."
"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself blondie," she winked, flicking a piece of his blonde hair.
Adrien felt a strange sensation growing in the pit of his stomach, and he swore he started to feel his cheeks heat up. He quickly coughed, looking at his watch for a distraction.
"We better go," he mumbled. "Marinette said to meet her and Luka at the Eiffel Tower in 10 minutes."
"Got it," Kagami nodded, grabbing Adrien's hand. "Let's go, date."

Marinette stood alone underneath the Eiffel Tower, waiting for Luka to appear.
He told her he had guitar lessons, so they weren't able to get ready together. Marinette was fine with that though, because it would have made things super awkward.
She likes Luka. A lot. And she wouldn't want to do anything to hurt him. But a buried part of her secretly wished that Adrien was coming to swoop her up into his arms instead.
Marinette has almost accepted that she and Adrien will never be together. But there is still a part of her, the innocent and naive side, that wishes things could be different.
But they won't. No matter how many times Marinette wishes they would, it cant happen. Because she sees how happy Adrien is with Kagami. And she could never give him that.
So, in a way, Marinette is glad things worked out the way they did. She still cares deeply for Adrien and only wishes for his happiness, even if that means his happiness derives from another girl.
"Hey," a voice suddenly spoke from behind, breaking the infinite sounds of her thoughts.
Marinette turned to Luka, who had his arms crossed behind his back.
"Sorry I'm late," he said. He then moved his arms from behind his back to hold out a bouquet of beautiful pink tulips. Marinette's favorite!
Her heart melted at the sight and she walked towards Luka, smiling sincerely and giving him a big hug. "Thank you."
"Of course, anything for you," he whispered into her ear.
Goosebumps formed on her skin and she squeezed him tightly, embracing his hug.
"Hey guys," Kagami's voice rang out, startling Marinette.
She jumped, turning around to peer at the new guests, still enveloped in Luka's arms. She saw Adrien following behind Kagami, looking handsome as usual.
