Luka X Reader

Chapter 14: Christmas Special

As soon as school was over, I raced to Luka's house. The school was not too far from his house, and with the combination of me running sonic speed toward his house I got there in only a couple of minutes.

I paused as I reached his boat; for some reason, I felt scared to enter. After a minute, I found the courage to knock on the door, and I was greeted seconds later by Luka.

"Were you waiting on the other side of the door?"

"I am going to neither confirm nor deny that for my own safety... Would you like to come in?" I let out a chuckle before accepting the invitation and stepping into their living room. We sat down on a pair of pillows in front of the television and prepared for our first battle. As I was picking my last character, Luka spoke up.

"If I were to ask you out... What would you say?"

I couldn't help but laugh. It seemed ridiculous that anyone would want to date me, ESPECIALLY Luka. He could get any girl he wanted; all he had to say was that he was Viperion and anyone would fall on their knees for him.

"Are you joking?"

"Depends on what your response is."

I squinted to weigh my options. Having company over more often would definitely be beneficial. But I never considered Luka as a boyfriend? Sure he was nice, but none of my gestures were ever romantic. When I yelled at Marinette for leaving him as a second choice, or any of the kisses, that was platonic right?

Right?

"Tell you what, if you win this round of Mega Strike 3, you can take me out."

"What?"

"If I am going to have a relationship with someone they have to be at least sorta good at video games," He glanced back over at me to see that I wasn't joking and suddenly his gestures went from playful to competitive.

We were about halfway through when Luka began falling behind. It became extremely easy to beat him in a fight, and while I was secretly hoping that he would win, I did not want him to know that. I accepted the fact that I would win and just began to play as I normally would-

I felt a sharp tingling sensation in my lower hip and I burst out laughing.

"Shit! Stop tickling me!" I choked out in between giggles.

"Bam!" He said as he finished off the last kill that declared his victory. He picked up his hands and let me out of his trap.

"Nicely done," I stuck my hand out for him to shake, which he took to make a simple maneuver, which pulled me to a distance where he could peck my lips.

"You guys are adorable," I whipped around to see Rose and Juleka peeking their head around the door. My facial expression must've changed because they immediately scurried back into Juleka's room.

"Christmas day, 10 am, meet me here."

I groaned as I rolled out of my bed, "Why did I agree to go at 10 am."

I went through my closet and picked out a blank gray shirt with a jean jacket. I slipped into black leggings and found a pair of stylish boots. For the finishing touch, I added a white scarf with blue snowflakes on it.  After I checked myself out in the mirror, I confirmed that I looked like hell on wheels and it felt great.

I ran out of my room nearly forgetting the small wrapped package that sat on my desk.

"I can drop you off if you'd like-" I cut off my dad before he could convince me to choose an option.

"I am just going to walk, thank you though," I smiled at him before rushing out the door. "Bye, mom!" It took under ten minutes to get to the houseboat, and you found Luka pacing outside it.

"Nervous to be going out with someone this perfect?" I teased.

"Yeah, yeah, get in the car."

The fuck, is he going to kidnap me?

He must've seen the confusion on my face as within seconds he clarified his statement, "I am taking you to see Christmas lights. Marinette said that you loved looking at Christmas lights."

He laughed as my face lit up. I LOVED looking at Christmas lights. We drove around for what felt like hours.

As we were pulling back towards the boat I nearly jumped out of my seat, "I nearly forgot! I have a gift for you!"

I pulled out the small package and placed it in his lap and motioned for him to open it.

He eagerly opened it and smiled as he pulled out the small charm.

"It's a pizza charm. Like the restaurant where I first met you." You said, smiling at him. He nodded and reached under his set grabbing another package, this time it is large and circular. I tore open the bright red wrapping paper and found... A plate? I flipped over the fragile thing and found a bunch of small signatures. They ranged from signatures from my parents, my friends, and a few celebrities.

"Oh, Luka..." I said as I examined the plate. I reached over to pull him into an embrace and he gladly accepted it. Sadly though, all good things must end as he drove me back to my house.

"Thank you for beating me, I enjoyed that." He simply agreed with me before I turned to go into my house.

No kiss, no confessions of love, nothing.

A/N: Hey guys! I hope that everyone will have an excellent Christmas if you celebrate. I will be beginning to slow down my posting as I am getting a bit of writer's block and I am losing a bit of motivation.  This is not the end of the series, I will most likely just begin posted 2-3 times every month!
