My Fault | A Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction

(BONUS CHAPTER) Chapter 21: The Rose (Part 2/2)

"I know a lot of stuff, trust me."

He just smiled at her, she seemed so mystic and confusing, but at the same time joyful and admirable.

"What do you do with your stories?" He asked, genuinely wanting to know more about what she was writing.

"I post them for people to read, people from all around read my stories. People I've never met in my life, people who live thousands of miles away, it's crazy to think about, but I love all their support. Its crazy to imagine hundreds of people I don't even know exist, sit down and read words I've written, with my own stupid ideas and thoughts."

"That's so deep, and amazing, those people are so lucky to read stories written by someone as wonderful as you." He said casually, but in a moment realized his words. "NOWAITIDONT MEAN THAT I JUST MEAN THAT YOU SEEM WONDERFUL BUT I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW YOU AND"

She just giggled at him again, dang she has such an adorable giggle.

"But the best part of it all is when my readers express how much joy they get out of my stories. I get messages saying they cried, laughed, love my stories, and can't wait for me to publish more! Nothing makes me happier than doing what I love, to make others happy."

"Wow." He said, in complete awe, staring into her eyes with a big smile, there was something about this girl that he just loved, but he was trying not to get distracted. "But that still doesn't explain why you're out here so early." He said with a cheeky smile.

"A lot of the time I stay up very late, or get up really early, just to write. I hate making people wait even though sometimes it's hard for me to write with all the other stuff going on in my life. But all of my readers are always so patient, which I love, so I try to write as much as I can. I don't usually write outside, but today I just had a feeling I should write out here, maybe it was because of you."

Luka blushed, she was just so sweet, and she did it with ease! This girl was wonderful. She was definitely brightening his mood already.

"If you don't mind me asking, what have you written about me?"

She didn't speak for a moment, looking down at the ground, deciding what she should say.

"I think you already know...you loved Marinette, you were such a hero, but Adrien ended up getting Marinette, and Adrien ended up being the big hero, no one even seemed to notice all you did for her, and Paris."

Luka couldn't believe what he was hearing, this girl understood him so well! And they just met! She seemed to be explaining exactly what he was feeling, it was crazy.

They both sat silently for a moment, Luka wanted to ask her something so bad, but he was scared what she might answer, so he remained quiet. Neither of them spoke, but it wasn't awkward, they just watched the sun rise together, enjoying each other's company. Until Luka finally worked up the courage to ask his question.

"So.....how does it end for Luka?" he said to her. "Does he find a new girl? Does he become joyful again? Does he get a happily ever after?"

For a moment it was silent again. "I don't know." She said finally. " That's for you to decide. "

"I'm not quite sure I follow."

"What do you think? Do you think you'll find a new girl whom you can love, and who loves you completely back?" She looked right at his eyes, and he looked intently back at hers.

And that was just it. Luka had his biggest "aha!" moment, this random girl, that's he's known for about 10 minutes, might be the girl! She might give him joy! She could be his happily ever after!

"That depends. Do you love me completely back?" he said with the biggest smile you'd seen on his face in weeks. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the red rose from Marinette, then held it in front of the girl, awaiting her response.

She giggled again. Ugh that adorable giggle! He couldn't resist her!

"I've always loved you completely back." She slid across the bench right next to him, and laid her head onto his shoulder, and he wrapped his arm around her neck.

She just continued writing on her tablet with Lukas arm around her neck. Luka quietly watched and read as she went along. He noticed that she was writing about them, and Luka being happy with a new girl. He got nervous, was he ready for hundreds of people to read this? to see this? He only met this girl a few minutes ago! Did he actually love her? He doesn't even know her name! Maybe he was just being silly when he said that saying that.

"Wait." He interrupted her, and set his hand on hers. " I don't know about this though, we just met and...And maybe I just think I love you because I'm desperate for a girlfriend again."

Her smile faded slightly at this, but she didn't lose hope. She pulled her hand away from his and put her finger against his mouth.

"Or.......maybe it's just love at first sight........" She was doing her best to reassure him. "If you are in love, you don't have to doubt it, embrace it! But, if you're not ready for love, then don't force yourself."

"But I don't even know your name! What if I'm just too emotional to understand my feelings right now! What if-"

"Don't worry about 'What ifs,' worry about what it can be. And that's your choice. What do you want this to be?"

Luka thought long and hard, and decided to stop worrying and embrace this strong and sudden love for this random beautiful stranger. He figured he would probably regret it sooner rather than later, but he held up her chin with his hand and brought her in closer for a kiss.

But before their lips touched, he backed away. And began to let go of her chin. He was hesitating, he was doubting himself again. But the young girl didn't back off, when he began to let go she reached in and grabbed his face and pulled him in, and put a gentle kiss on his cheek.

Luka took a deep breath in. "I think, I think this is what I want this to be."

"Me too."

They just sat in the romantic moment with giant, authentic smiles, as the sun rose in the distance. Marinette had been watching it all from her balcony and was filled with joy.

"Wow, I didn't think it would happen that fast, but I'm so happy for Luka!" Marinette said with joy to her tiny kwami.

"Me too! He has been through a lot and it's nice to see he's finally found someone who can truly love him. But....do you know who that girl is Marinette? I've never seen her before."

"I don't know her, but I have a strange feeling that she knows me. Although if she's dating Luka now, I'm sure we'll meet her soon enough." Marinette replied with a wink and smile at Tikki.

The two new lovers just sat together for a while. The young girl didn't write anything, and they didn't say anything, they just sat together. Until Luka finally spoke.

"So....what is your name?"

She smiled at the fact they were practically in love and he was still yet to find out her name. Without looking back at him and continuing to stare in the distance, she replied.

"Elise, my name is Elise."
