The concert was over, Akane sighed after the big presentation, her shoulders a little sore from all the time the bass was balancing in her body. She casually looked at her phone, smiling at her girlfriend's texts saying how amazing she was and how much she loved her.
"You look stupid" Daniel teased with a mocking tone, happy for his friend relationship. Akane just turned red and replied:
"Yo-you look stupid dumbass." Daniel just laughed it off. "Wanna bother someone? Look at loverboy over there, wonder about that pretty girl in the crowd."
"That's so unusual right?" Quiet Blaze commented, to the pair surprise. "Ten bucks he asks her out" he betted with a smile.
"Twenty that she's a gold digger" Daniel added.
"Fifty that Luka fucks up" chuckled Akane. Luka, in the other side of the room groaned at his friends bets while he put his guitar away. Akane handed him a small bag of Lilac Shimmer that Luka hid in his jacket before heading out.
He wasn't the type of man to consume drugs to expand his creative universe. He looked carefully at the bag. It looked like ordinary brilliantine, the one kids play with, but according to Akane it was "the best shit ever". He knew his friend was careful about consuming, only on certain occasions, still Luka was concerned.
But for some reason he needed it right now. No meditation method, no breathing could help him. He was going to ask that girl out, no, correction, he was going to ask her something, the last thing he needed was a little puppy laying all around him. Hopefully she would say yes.
How could he find her though? He looked around the festival, hood up as to not be recognized. He looked around the rustic food trucks, looking for her in beer trucks as well. There was no luck, and so he cursed himself, returning back to the band truck which was his for the night. Watching once again the Shimmer, he sighed. Well, this was stupid.
"Oh, sorry!" A sweet voice said below him. His eyes fixed on hers, she immediately recognized him. "Oh god" the bluenette said trying not to scream. "You are Luka, the Luka"
"Am I?" He said cheekily. The girl nodded her head quickly. "And who are you?" He asked acting a little air headed.
"I'm Ma-marimanette" she said stuttering "I mean I'm Marinette" she corrected. She looked down and met with the strange brilliantine he had in a bag.
"Nice meeting you Ma-marimanette" he said chuckling slightly. Her eyes looked uneasy and embarrassed. "Sorry, I'm not the best with words, even worst when I'm paranoid they might notice who I am." Marinette breathed an "Oh" and looked around, scanning for possible crazy fans. "Would you come with me to the band's van? I would love some privacy" Luka tried to be as smooth as possible. Marinette didn't looked convinced, after all he was still an unknown man to her. He saw her curious about the Lilac Shimmer however. "I'll let you get a taste of this" he said wiggling the bag slightly. "But not for free." He added, showing his intentions.
Marinette doubted. Luka, her band crush, was offering what looked like drugs for sex? If this was the case, he was worst than she though he could be. He needed help asap.
"Okay" she smiled while her adrenaline pumped through her veins. Luka swallowed hard. This beautiful girl was willingly going with him to have drugs and sex, either she was really naive (and didn't looked like it) or she was what he was looking for.
For her and his sake, he hoped Marinette was what he was looking for.
