wallflower || miraculous ladybug [luka x oc]

cold tone

as days went by the week eventually fell to the weekend which meant that luka wouldn't see celeste until the following monday. he felt rather disheartened at that fact and voiced his thoughts when they began packing their bags in order to head home. 

nathaniel had left ahead of time because he had to help his parents out with some personal matters, leaving the two new friends to spend a peaceful time together.

"if you want, we can definitely meet up," celeste suggested and shouldered her bag. luka paused, glancing at her.

"you would want to?" he questioned. she seemed nice, sure, nice enough to hang out with him at school. but he didn't know where exactly he stood in her life, what he was to her. he liked to call her a friend, but everyone has their own definition of friends.

"yeah, there is just a possibility that i might have to bring my little brother along. our parents aren't home much so i normally have to take care of him."

he hummed as they started their descent down the stairs, "you have a little brother? i wouldn't mind, really."

"yeah, he's seven," she smiled at the mention of her brother, "his name is lucien, i love him to bits and pieces."

"that's good," he nods, "I know there are some people who don't get along with their younger siblings."

"i would do anything for my little brother."

luka almost reeled back at the cold tone that the female had suddenly adopted. he glanced over to her, seeing her eyes narrowed, glaring, though at nothing in particular. he hadn't seen her like this before. so...hostile.

"anything?" he probed. she turned to look at him as they reached the front doors, exiting the school.

she affirmed, "anything."

he simply smiled at her, "your brother is very lucky to have such a caring older sister."

she returned it as they came to a stop at the bottom of the stairs. she pulled out her phone, unlocking it with a rather long password before she held it towards him.

"put your number in, i'll text you later."

he took the phone and carefully typed in his number and returned the phone. she entered a few things on the screen then tucked the phone in her pocket and eyes fluttered up to him.

"i have to pick up my brother from school, i'll talk to you later, yeah?"

"yeah," he breathed, "talk to you later, then." he waved and they both turned to walk their separate ways. he glanced over his shoulder...

he hoped she would message him sooner rather than later.
