Her Son

Chapter 14: An Unmeaningful Kiss

  This might be triggering for some people out there! Trust me I hate this too! But for this chapter and the next, it contains Adrigami and Lukanette, which I HATE BY THE WAY. But it's apart of this story and it all ends up okay. Okay?

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Marinette

  For the past week, everything was great. High school wasn't as terrifying as I expected it to be. Kagami still seemed to have her eyes out for Adrien. But Luka was going to ask her out today. Which I was gladly going to help him with.

  "Should I buy her flowers? I'm confused! What do I do!?" I giggled, "Luka, be yourself." I placed my hand on his shoulder, "I think you should... You like music right?" He nodded. I tapped my chin, "Maybe write her a song? Or sing one for her on your guitar." He smiled.

  "Your right! Thanks Marinette! I have the perfect idea!" I smiled, as he ran off. I was happy for Luka, the more he had been hanging out with Kagami, he was never drunk anymore. She was helping him, and he was helping her.

  "So, wanna walk home?" I smiled and nodded, he smirked and kissed my hand. We held hands as usual as we began walking home. "So, what's with Luka?" I giggled, "He's busy planning a special date for Kagami. He's going to ask her out and write her a song. He asked for my help, who knew I was so good with romance."

  He chuckled, "I'm just glad Luka's stopped drinking for a while. Juleka helped me throw away his beer/liquor stash." My eyes widened, "He had a stash?!" He nodded, I frowned, "W-why did Luka start drinking in the first place?"

  He sighed, "When he was little... His mother and father would always fight, sometimes he would beat her. He tried to cope with music, which did help him. But once his father left his family, he sort of lost it, he spent his time at bars and got a fake ID." I frowned.

  "Luka's been drinking since he started high school. I've known him since middle school, when his father left him. His mom was busy meeting guys and smoking in the porch, he would always stay the night at Nino's, Kim's, Max's or my house."

  I looked to the side, poor Luka. "We were always willing to help him out. But he and Juleka live with their aunt. His aunt doesn't care about either of them, so she doesn't give a damn when he drinks."

  My lips parted, my eyes watered. "O-oh." I squeezed my eyes shut to prevent the tears from falling, Adrien looked at me with sad eyes. I could tell he felt bad for Luka too, even Juleka. "Adrien..." My grip on his hand tightened.

  He kissed my forehead, and we walked back home.

~~Two months later~~

  Luka had finally started dating Kagami, his eyes shined brighter then before. Juleka and Rose had their first kiss, and Alya and Nino stayed the same. Max was still dating Sabrina, and Kim had actually met back up with Alex.

  As for Adrien and I, we couldn't have been a stronger couple. But today, I had no clue for what was coming for me. "So, how'd your date go with Kagami?" I asked Luka. He smiled, "She really liked the song, thanks for your advice Marinette."

  I smiled at him, "Where'd you guys go?" He sighed, "To the beach. That's where I sang her my song." I giggled, "That's where Adrien and I had our first kiss." He smirked, "Ohhhhh~" I laughed, and suddenly tripped on a rock as I was running with him.

  Oh no! Prepare for impact Marinette! I thought to myself as the ground got bigger and bigger, I squeezed my eyes shut, but never hit the floor. I looked up, "Thanks for catching me Luka. Sorry I'm really clumsy."

  He shrugged, "That's ok. Besides, my reflexes have been getting better ever since I stopped drinking. Every time I see a liquor bottle or Something, I remind myself of Kagami and keep walking." I smiled.

  "That's amazing Luka. Keep that up." He grinned, pointing behind me. My eyes followed his finger, finding Adrien sitting on the bleachers. Then I spotted her, walking over to him, my smile faded away, my eyebrows furrowed.

  I stopped running, and so did Luka as my heart began to pick up. "What is he doing with..." Luka finished my sentence, "K-kagami..." We both exchanged worried glances, we could see Kagami pull Adrien behind the bleachers.

  My heart speed went rapid, I looked at Luka and he nodded, pulling me along to a perfect sight of them. I couldn't quite make out what they were saying. Luka frowned and we ducked behind a bench.

  "Kagami..." she cut him off, with a kiss. She placed her lips on his, I frowned and my eyes watered. Luka covered both of our mouths, the kiss continued. They both closed their eyes, and then parted.

  The tears began streaming down my chesks, I faced Luka and buried my face in his chest. The tears wouldn't stop, I just cried. I was picked up, and I closed my eyes, I didn't care what we happening right now.

Luka

  I picked her up, taking her back to the track field. I couldn't just let her watch that. I couldn't let myself watch it. My eyes were glossy but I contained myself, I was good at hiding my feeling deep down inside me. I'm not sure if that was a good thing.

Adrien

  Kagami pulled me behind the bleachers, I was surprised I let myself go this far. "Adrien, I know you love Marinette. I-i... I still love you..." I rolled my eyes, "Kagami I don't--" she interrupted me, "Please... Just one last kiss. That's all I'm asking for."

  I frowned, "Just one. Then I'll leave you alone and never bother you again. I promise!" My lips parted, Kagami never did break a promise. I sighed, looking away, "Kagami..." I didn't finish my sentence. Before I knew she pressed her lips on mine, it didn't feel right.

  A kiss was supposed to be meaningful, full of energy, this was just... Not. It didn't feel good, it didn't feel relaxing, it didn't feel nice or relieving. I closed my eyes, she tried to keep going but I backed away from her. "That's enough." I wiped my mouth, "Now leave me alone. Leave Marinette alone. Leave US alone."

  She frowned, "I will. Until you want me back." I frowned, "In your dreams." I stated before walking off. This didn't feel right, I shouldn't have done this. I'll tell Marinette later. I know she'll understand.
