Slow Dance With You {Lukanette One-Shot}

Slow Dance With You

Since last Friday it was spoken about more times than poor Marinette would have liked. It was the upcoming Heroes Ball and while everyone had a date, she did not. She couldn't attend with Alya because she was going with Nino, and she didn't want to impose on their date. Then, there was Adrien. She knew he wasn't going to ask her because he had been talking to the group about ways to ask Kagami.

"What's wrong, Mari?" Alya asked, noticing her friend's obvious depressive state.

"It seems like everyone has a date to the dance, but me." The seamstress said in distress.

Alya placed a reassuring hand on the girl's shoulder, "you don't need a date. You can just hang out with us girls."

Marinette glanced up at her friend. A pout made its way to her features. "All 'you girls' have a date though."

Before anything else could be said, a bell echoed throughout the halls, indicating it was time to go home.

"Well there's a chance Nino might leave me for Adrien so if that's the case Kagami and you are going to be my dates for the night." Alya exclaimed, knowing fully about her boyfriend's bromance with his best friend.

Marinette chuckled, "well then if so, i will be sure to look my absolutely best."

"You always do babe."

~The following evening~

Marinette sighed, looking for the perfect shade of green. The Heroes ball had a theme and many of the girls were going as Ladybug, while the guys were dressing as Chat-which she loved. She absolutely loved the idea of Chat getting the recognition he deserved for once. Also the thought of a whole bunch of chat's running around caused the girl to smile. There was one thing that was bothering her; There wasn't a variety of other heroes. She knew that Alya was going as carapace while Nino was Rena Rouge, and Chloe, obviously, went as Queen Bee. Many of her friends had ditched the Chat/Ladybug cliche, choosing rather to dress as their other favorite characters. She was happy for them, but was upset no one had included Viperion at all. The only reasonable explanation Mari could think of was no one else could visualize a dress or suit that would perfectly capture the heroes essence.

So she began pulling out two very similar teal fabric, trying to pinpoint the exact color of Viperion's suit. As the young designer got lost in her head, debating about the color, someone snuck down from the hatch of her balcony quietly and onto the girl's bed.

With a snake-like grin, the teal haired male slowly turned his attention to his friend. Meanwhile, Marinette had finally decided on the color and was pinning the fabric to the mannequin in the corner of her bed.

"What'cha making Marinette?" Viperion asked.

"Holy mother of god!" Marinette screeched out as she knocked over the dummy. Viperion couldn't help but laugh at how she flailed her arms. But his laughing deceased as he became face-to-face with a science textbook.

"Owwwww, Mari how could you throw that at me like that?" The teal-suited boy asked, rubbing his nose and glaring back at her.

"What did i tell you about doing that!" She whispered-screamed as she climbed up her stairs to continue her assault. He held up his hand in surrender as he pouted, "you never had an issue when Chat was sneaking to see you."

"He didn't sneak in here to purposely scare me," She retorted, poking his chest.

"Fair point~" He smiled and wrapped his arms around the young girl's waist. "So what are ya making Mousenette?"

Mari slapped the back of his head, "Don't call me that."

Viperion, known better as Luka, looked up at her and placed a light kiss on her navel, "you know you love it Mari~~"
