Luka X Reader

Chapter 12

I immediately whipped around at the voice in my room, "Alya? What are you doing here?!"

"You left your binder in school! Your dad let me in to give it to you."    

I turned to face Viperion, "You should go... Now."

"Wait! You can't go! I- If you go- If you go I will post what I saw on the Ladyblog!"            

"Alya, you CAN'T do that. You will risk my and your own safety!" My chest began to burn as if it was on fire.

"Fine. But I want answers. How could something like this happen and for you not to tell me?"

"Okay!" I motioned for Viperion to leave and he responded by slipping out the window within seconds.

"It was... Nothing." I paused trying to think of an excuse good enough so she would work out the lie. "Really. It was just a worthless kiss."

"Do you know his identity?"

"What? Of course not. As I said it was nothing. It just happened."

She continued with questions, slowly getting more and more personal. I glanced over at my phone and saw a new text message. It was from Luka.

Once I could get Alya out of my house, I finally had some time to process what had just happened within the last couple of hours.

Luka is Viperion, I kissed Luka, I kissed Viperion, and Alya knows that I have a tie with Viperion. Great.                                                

I opened up my phone to see what Luka had sent me.

Luka: Hey, is everything okay? You seemed anxious around Alya.

You: I wonder why.

Luka: Sarcasm? Anyway, I was wondering if you were up to meet up tomorrow after school. We should probably discuss some things. 

You: Sure. As long as nothing comes up.

I immediately tucked my phone under my pillow and fell asleep. I felt absolutely exhausted from the encounter with Viperion and Alya. 

Once I woke up, the day went by in a flash. It felt like I was being picked up from school seconds after being dropped off. I was able to put all of my belongings into the trunk of my father's car. From there, he pulled into the park and I met up with Luka.

"I am so proud of you for making so many friends," My dad left me with a comforting smile.

I spotted Luka sitting on a park bench across the park with his hoodie covering his face. A smile began to spread across my face and my heart began beating faster.

"Hey!" He jumped at my voice and I couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry it's just me."

"Good. People have been giving me strange looks..."

"I wonder why? You only look sketchy as hell with your jacket completely zipped up..." He let out a chuckle before his face turned straight again.

"Alya knows that you have some sort of connection with me. That is not good."

"Don't worry, I can keep a secret," I winked at him but his face remained dead.

"That's not what I mean. You know my identity. If you get akumatized..."

I sunk into the bench. By knowing his identity, I was risking his entire life. Who knows what Hawkmoth would do once he found out that Luka was Viperion. Torture him? Kill him? Make him his slave?

"I talked to Ladybug about it... And she said that the only option that didn't include you getting your memory wiped was to instead clear my memory."

As he spoke the words, my mind flashed with memories of my mother in the hospital. Her memory was so foggy, she could only remember dad. It pained me to see her like that. \

My thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of my phone. I answered it.

"Hi Y/N. This is Hailey from Toronto." I was mortified. "Remember me? Thought you would. Did you really think that by deleting your number and moving away I wouldn't be able to find you? Think again. I have been stalking your Instagram and I have noticed that you made some new friends... Are they aware of your past in Canada?..."

Within seconds, I was in tears.
