Miraculous Song

Her Smile

(Narrator's pov)
Luka felt ashamed of himself for allowing himself to be akumatized twice, he couldn't recall anything but he seemed to remember finding (y/n)'s apartment and trying to strangle her for some answers. If it wasn't for Howl something he would've come to regret would've happened. (Y/n) hadn't been to school in three days and Luka could only assume its because he did something terrible to her. Marinette noticed the change in her friend and tried to probe for answers assuming Luka was injured.

"I wonder if she's okay.", Luka asked absentmindedly.

"Who Luka?", Mari asked.

"(Y/n). She hasn't been to school since I attacked her and I'm worried sick. Marinette you don't think I hurt her do you?", Luka cried in a worried tone trembling from the guilt he felt.

Marinette rubbed his back assuringly trying her best to ease his suffering. That's when a notification snapped Luka out of his train of thought, it was a message from Juleka. Luka wasn't all that interested unil he noticed a video attachment connected to the phrase, "She is the Dog Queen, hear her howl." Upon opening the video Luka's heart skipped a beat hearing an sweet innocent giggle resonate from the screen. Dogs of all ages flocked around barking and wagging their tails while you kissed their noses or offered them scratches and belly rubs. You looked so happy with the dogs by your side but Luka was so enchanted by your smile that he couldn't control the red flush spreading from ear to ear. Marinette giggled at his outrageous reaction and replayed the video to watch his reaction again and again.

"Seems to me that (Y/n) is just fine.", Marinette teased poking at Luka's warm cheek.

"W-where is she? Is this new in town?", Luka asked rushing off to the door while still paying attention to his phone.

Marinette broke out in laughter as Luka ran into the unopened door and explained that the animal shelter was having an adoption day. Several teachers had offered extra credit if students attended and assisted the staff with the dogs, Luka found this as an opportunity to get to know you better. He and Marinette quickly made their way to the Paris Canine Shelter and signed in to help out. Everyone was working in pairs, everyone except you. Luka watched as you handled all the senior dogs and even the dogs people viewed as dangerous, yet you tamed each beast you faced with ease and grace.

"Mind if I join you?", Luka asked squating down next to you while you handled an agressive boxer mix.

The dog growled upon Luka's approach and began barking, you tried your best to calm her down before others started to turn away and lose interest in her. Luka smiled and held his hand out to the barking dog to allow her to smell him, he began to hum a soft song and the dog began to calm down. You stared at him in wonder and watched as she approached him happily.

"Hi there beautiful can I get a kiss? Huh? Can the pretty boxy give me a widdle kiss, yes?", Luka cooed calling to her in a sweet baby voice.

You smiled at his laugh as the excited boxer slobbered all over his cheek, he was quite charming for a cool and quiet guitar player. Soon couples and parents came to watch the older dogs happily interact with children and other dogs while you and Luka worked towards securing their forever homes. Luka smiled watching you introduce the children to new dogs, with your presence their it seemed every dog was being adopted because you could show people just how lovely they truly were.

"Hey Luka...Luka...Luka!", You yelled snapping the blue haired teen out of his trance.

"H-huh? S-sorry (Y/n), did you need something?", Luka stuttered trying to avoid getting lost in your beautiful (e/c) hues.

"Yeah can you-"

"IYAAAHHHHHH!", A scream caught everyone's attention as a child began crying from being nipped by a anxious pitbull.

The child's father growled at the dog kicking it away forcefully from the dog. He was furious that such a dangerous dog was even being given up for adoption but you saw it otherwise. You held the dog protectively as the man kicked your back unaware that you were not the dog. The dog cried in your arms while the man stopped seeing a young volunteer holding the dog that had just attacked his son. You glared at the man and offered an apology to him for his lack of attention on the child. The dog had only nipped the child since the child had grabbed his tail and yanked on it scaring it into defending itself. The man became angrier and citizens gasped as an Akuma flew through the sky entering the man's scarf possessing him. Luka quickly grabbed you and the dog and pulled you both away from the man as he transformed into a huge four armed giant.

"(Y/n), we have to get out of here!", Luka screamed pulling you along by your wrist but you couldn't leave.

The child that had been bitten was left alone crying as his akumatized parent swung around violently calling for the heroes of Paris so he could unleash his rage on him. You quickly pulled your wrist back and ran back for the child much to Luka's horror. Other civilians held him back from going after you and they watched as debris from the building came dangerously close to smashing you where you stood. You successfully captured the child in your arms and ran the opposite direction of the crowd leading the monster away from the civilians. The monster clumsily chased after you trying to get his child back, Luka's heart raced out of fear of you getting hurt. He had to do something but what could he do without any means of doing so? He can't stop an Akuma he's just human!

"I want to protect her! I want to see her smile more and more! So I can't just stand here!", He growled to himself running after you and the huge beast.

He'd protect you, he owed you that much for saving him! He'll be your hero!
