Requested by @DragonGirlLife! It's my first time writing a request, and I know it's rather short, but I hope you like it anyway! I'm also really sorry it took me so long, I rewrote it a few times because I couldn't make it flow until now so... sorry 😬😅

Luka. Luka Couffaine. The boy I've loved since-

"(-N)? (Y/N)? Is everything alright?"

Luka's hand waved in front of your eyes and you broke out of your reverie, blinking once, twice, thrice before you remembered where you were and what you were doing.

"Yeah, fine. Sorry for zoning out on you." You smiled, picking up your notepad. "What were you saying?"

"Well, I drafted the lyrics for a new song and I hoped you'd take a look at it."

You took the paper from him and as you did so, the tips of your fingers brushed his, and you almost felt a jolt of electricity at his warm touch.

Nope. Focus.

Skimming over the words scrawled quickly in Luka's fast but surprisingly legible handwriting, you tried your very best to ignore the feeling of his gaze on you. It didn't make you uncomfortable, quite the opposite in fact. You were friends, best friends even ever since your first day of preschool together, but you wanted more. You wanted to be more.

Oh god help me, it's a love song.

"I'm not sure about this line," you mused, pointing it out. "It's beautiful, but it feels a bit too... Shakespearean, and I don't think it fits well with the rest of the song. How about... 'and the stars bow before you, for you shine brightest.'"

He nodded, deep in thought. You fought it, you really did, but your eyes couldn't help but follow the movement as his tongue flicked over his bottom lip while he scribbled down your suggestion.

"Luka?" You didn't know why you spoke, you hadn't even decided what to ask or tell him yet.

He hummed in reply and you mentally scolded your heart for skipping a beat.

"Why are we writing a love song? Like, don't get me wrong, it's absolutely beautiful, but Kitty Section's never sung a love song before."

His blue eyes gazed out over the Seine, over the stunning view you had from the deck of their boat.

"I suppose I'm just trying to express my feelings." He smiled at you, one of those calm smiles you loved seeing.

What? He might... okay, today was the day you'd confess.

"Luka? Can I tell you something?"

Here we go...

"Sure, anything."

You took a deep breath. What if you ruined your friendship? You couldn't imagine your world without him in it.

Forcing your brain to just shut up, you shifted your gaze back to him.

"I like you, Luka."

He smiled softly, hand moving to caress your cheek, his touch leaving goosebumps in its wake.

"Was that what made you so nervous? You have no need to worry, (Y/N). I like you too."

You let out the breath you had subconsciously been holding, a wide grin taking over your features.

"You mean that?"

"Every word."

His bright blue orbs bored into yours and you knew, you knew deep in your soul that he was telling the truth.

"So, does that mean you'll be my girlfriend?"

"Of course!" you laughed, enveloping him in a hug. The scent of his cologne filled your nostrils and you knew you couldn't be happier than in that moment.

His arms wrapped around you, and you stood there in his warm embrace for what felt like hours, but neither of you wanted to move.

Then he murmured something in your ear, two lines from the song you were writing together.

"The moon envies you, for your beauty is greatest, and the stars bow before you, for you shine brightest."
