Two Broken Hearts

Chapter 6: To The Rescue

Luka POV, in Alya's room.

Usually I'm fond of Ladybug and Cat Noir being in weird places after their battle, but this is just outrageous. Adrien literally left Marinette laying there almost passed out, but luckily, Alya and I found her. Right now she's laying in Alya's bed while I'm sitting on the edge of her bed in her room, waiting for her to wake up.

Alya opened the door. "C'mon let's go outside. You can't just sit there forever."

"But I'm worried about her."

"Me too, but I'm not pacing in a room, watching her, am I?"

"Guess you have a point."

"I'll give you a few more minutes. But you are coming out pronto."

"Fine."

I walked over to Marinette's face and started crying.  This feeling, it's something I never felt before, but I want to keep them.

"Marinette, I'll always be here for you, okay?"

I glanced at her pale face from her hair to her chin. I held her hand that was above the blanket she was sleeping underneath and kissed it slowly. Abruptly, she sat up, but her face looked like something was wrong.

"Luka, what am I doing here?"

"You were in a dark alley sleeping as Ladybug, and once Alya and I saw you, I carried you and we went near your house. But it was locked so we came here, and a few minutes passed by then you detransformed."

"Thank Goodness."

Marinette then started to cry and fell into my arms. I embraced back.

"Is everything okay, Marinette?"

"Yeah, I'm just glad you and Alya saved me."

Marinette then got up and sat right next to me at the end of the bed right where I was. Somehow, I felt more relaxed than ever, maybe its because she is by my side. Still, her face didn't look like everything was okay.

"Are you sure? You can always talk to me if something's wrong."

"Well, I-"

Marinette POV

It's shocking how Luka cares so much about me. It's almost as if he was the love of my life all of this time. When he looked into my eyes, I felt at ease when I stared at him back. His hands held above mine.

"Well, I-"

He grinned slowly waiting for my answer.

"Me and Adrien, um, we broke up. From our last akuma. She tied me up and I was forced to say that I kissed you, and after we defeated the villain, he said that were done."

"And how do you feel now? Be honest."

"I feel.......better actually. Because now I don't have to worry about liking another person when I'm with him."

Just as I said that, Luka started laughing. I wonder, what could be so funny at a time like this?

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm not laughing at you, promise. It's just I've been waiting for you to finally realize that."

"But why?"

He came close to me. "Because I love you, Mari."

At this point, I couldn't hide my feelings anymore. The love I feel for Luka is true, and it showed big time. "I love you too, Luka."

After that, I leaned closer and we  kissed, only this time, with a bit more passion. I felt his hands leaving mine and grabbing my waist while mine entering his hair. This also happened as I suddenly fell onto the bed with Luka on top and still kissing.

Then, the door opened.
