Chapter 13
On the morning of Sunday Lila lied inside her bed beside Nathaniel covered with the zebra-patterned blanket and her forehead lied on Nathaniel's shoulder, a few inches down Lila had her arms around his arms, which she had to cuddle with. Down on the feet of the couple lied Karaa over Nathaniel's resting with Trixx lying next to her like a normal canine. Trixx slowly opened her eyes letting out a yawn and stretched herself and raised up an ear as she could hear someone walk on the wooden floor of the corridor.
"Oh oh," Trixx said as he recognized the footsteps, then Trixx flew up at Nathaniel's face pushing him softly on his cheeks. "Nathaniel, get up! Mrs. Rossi is about to enter into the room." Warned Trixx and Nathaniel kept resting, making Trixx groan. "Okay you want it the hard way," Trixx said flying in front of his face and bite him on the nose, waking him up immediately and before he could yell Trixx covered his mouth with paws, after that she told him to be quiet. "You have to hide Mrs. Rossi is going to enter into her bedroom any minute" Warned the fox kwami then Nathaniel got off the bed and looked around on Lila's bed for his clothing and picked it up, then shrieked as he heard Mrs. Rossi's voice get louder as she was coming closer to his girlfriends' bedroom.
"Crap I can't dress myself up that fast" Nathaniel said trying to put his boxers on while fearing the Italian diplomat to break into their room and see the boy all nude.
"Come down here" Trixx said pointing down at the drawer under Lila's bed, then Nathaniel went down on his knees to try pulling the large drawer off under the bed to see the a couple of winter clothing, that belong to Lila all crumpled up in there making Nathaniel roll his eyes pulling everything aside and entered the drawer and tried to roll the drawer back under the bed as Trixx observed him trying to be successful on closing it.
"Puh" Trixx said then saw the doorknob moving down slowly, but before the woman got in, she stood there talking to somebody giving Trixx time to fly up in the room to check, if everything was alright and flew down at the bed picking up Lila's clothing to stow them under her bed cover.
The door opened up frighting Trixx, who flew up to the other side of the room hiding behind the seat bag to observe Lila's mother enter the bedroom of her miraculous holder.
"Buon giorno mia cara figlia," The woman said bending her back down to kiss the girl on the forehead. Lila turned her body around wrapping herself more up in the bedcover making Trixx gulp, then the mother sat down on Lila's bed to caress her on the head waiting for the girl to wake up. "Lila" Mrs. Rossi whispered into Lila's ear, then she watched Lila smile as she had reacted to the adult and spoke into her ears again. "It's Sunday, the breakfast is almost ready and it's gonna be Italian toast casserole" Mrs. Rossi sang in Lila's ear, which then opened up her eyes looking up at her mother.
"Buon giorno, mamma," Lila said watching her mother get up from the bed.
"And how many times have I asked you to clear up your room?" Asked the brunette adult. "How would you feel if any of your friends would be here and see this mess?"
"I clean everything up after breakfast," Lila said. "I promise," Lila said watching Mrs. Rossi walk beside the desk of Lila and note Nathaniel's jacket lying over the chair and look at it for a few seconds making Lila flinch as she remembered Nathaniel had spent the night with her.
"Was Nathaniel here?" Asked the diplomat picking up Nathaniel's jacket from the chair.
"Yes, yes he was" Responded Lila. "We...watched yesterday night movies, then we got tired and he went back home and probably forgot the jacket" Invented the brunette. "He's a little forgetful"
"Strange he even forgot his smartphone," The woman said looking at the table, where Lila's white smartphone lied next to a black-colored smartphone.
"He did?" Asked Lila acting surprise. "I didn't realize it"
"Neither did he," Mrs. Rossi said hanging Nathaniel's jacket on a peg. "Get dressed Principessa and met us in the dining room," Mrs. Rossi told leaving the bedroom and closing the door behind her. Lila sighed in relief and uncovered her body, then noted her underwear right there next to her, then she picked up her thong and put it on, afterward she grabbed her bra and put the front of her bra behind her back and closed the hook on the lop of the strap, then pushed her bra around her body and placed the front of the bra over her breast to cover the nipples, then she got up from the bed and looked around the room wondering, where Nathaniel was.
From the bedcover flew out like a lighting Karaa looking around the room worried noting, her owner was missing.
"Where's Nathaniel?" Asked Karaa looking at Lila, who shrugged her shoulders.
From under the bed, Nathaniel stuck his hand out grabbing Lila on the leg shrieking her.
"Whoa!" Shouted Lila looking down at her feet to see Nathaniel's arm coming from the drawer. "Oh, there you are," Lila said getting down on her knees to open the drawer, which revealed Nathaniel lying in there covered by some of her winter pullovers. "That was a clever hideout" The brunette complimented with a chuckle watching Nathaniel pull the clothing off him.
"It was Trixx's idea" Nathaniel answered to the girlfriend, which helped Nathaniel to get out of the drawer. "Lila uhm you know about yesterday..." Nathaniel said blushing a little, making Lila smile a little and get crimson on her cheeks too as her boyfriend mentioned their romantic night. "We didn't use protection, what happens if you get pregnant?" Asked Nathaniel watching Lila grab his hands.
"I'm aware we should have used a condom yesterday, but my hormones went so crazy yesterday and I totally wanted to get laid, which then happened. But don't worry, I can recite at the pharmacy for an ECP to avoid me getting pregnant today" The brunette explained her boyfriend which nodded.
"You know I just don't want you to get angry with me when it happens"
"Don't worry baby, we're safe. After the breakfast, I'm heading to the pharmacy to get it and while I'm on it, I could look for some contraceptive for us to use when we're going to have another night like that." Lila said placing her index finger on Nathaniel's chest doing circular moves on it, causing the redhead to heat up. "You and your friend are certainly going to like it, as I see," Lila said glancing down at the boy and back again at his eyes.
"…..This is the morning variant" Nathaniel said making Lila laugh.
"Nathy, I know that's not true," Lila said with a smirk, then Nathaniel felt embarrassed as usual about it, then grabbed from Lila's bed his clothes.
"Good you got me. But next time we need to do it somewhere, where none of our parents could catch us or one of us leaves later"
"Sure baby," Lila said watching Nathaniel put his trousers on.
"I think I better get going before your mother comes and sees me," Nathaniel said looking up at his kwami.
"Why don't you pretend in passing by the house and ask about your smartphone, then I or my mom offer you to breakfast with us?" Suggested Lila.
"Nah I don't think it's quite a good idea, at least today" Nathaniel responded.
"Why not?" Asked Lila pouting. "Are you afraid, that when I ask my father for the salt, you end up handing it out to me?"
"No, it's…..Lila!" The redhead cried embarrassed as he understood Lila's innuendo. "Your dad is going to turn me into minced meat, if he founds out, about what happened last night"
"You're so cute when you're so worried"
"Look I will still pass by, but a little later. First I need to get home quickly. I didn't tell my mom I would have stayed away last night"
"Alright, but leave your stuff here or my mom will find it strange, that you already got them with you"
"Sure," Nathaniel said walking to the window, then transform into Super Nathan. "Uhm should I tell my mother, that I overnight by you or with someone else?"
"If you find it's safer, say you were with Luka or Ivan." Responded the brunette. "Say you were watching movies or watch the band play and you fell asleep"
"I say it was Luka"
"Good and make sure, if your mother asks him anything, that he confirms it"
"Okay," Super Nathan said giving Lila a peck on her lips.
"Even, when you're Super Nathan you're small," Lila said with a chuckle making the purple-skinned boy grin sheepishly.
"Sadly, but just because I'm small it doesn't mean I'm not strong enough" Super Nathan said showing Lila his arm, trying to show off by showing her his small muscle.
"I know," Lila said giving her boyfriend a kiss on his cheek, then the superhero opened the window, restored his jetpack from his tablet and flew out of the window, leaving Lila back with a smile. The Italian girl walked at the table, where the two smartphones lied and picked up hers unlocking her display to see, what messages had entered into the superhero chat.
"What?!" Lila reacted shocked as she saw the messages.
"Who could do such a mean thing to Kagami's family?" Asked Rose Lavillant with a crying emoji at the end of her sentence.
"Luka and Adrien couldn't find out, who the driver was. They had to take care of the inmates of the Tsurugi vehicle." Marinette replied to the message of the youngest girl.
"Is she okay?"
"I need to ask Luka. I haven't heard about it since he showed the picture of the accident"
"Oh oh" Lila replied as she read the messages, she had missed last night due to being occupied with her boyfriend, then opened Kagami's contact and pressed on the green telephone button to stabilize a connection with her friend.
"Good morning Kagami. I've just read now about what happened to you yesterday. Are you alright?" Lila Rossi asked a little frightened about not knowing about her best friend's health state.
"Good morning Lila, I'm fine now. I've had a routine examination at the hospital and they cleaned a wound on my arm and vaccinated me" Explained the Japanese girl. "My mother is alright, but the driver is admitted to the hospital for a couple of days. I think he suffered a concussion if I'm right"
"I wish I could go back in time and be there to assist Luka and Adrien in finding out, who that guy was, that wanted to to get rid of you all"
"It's alright Lila, it just happened. Thank you for your call"
"No problem, are you now busy?" Questioned Lila.
"I'm practicing violin right now"
"So early?" Questioned Lila.
"My rehearsal was changed for the coming Wednesday and I'm practicing now a little more than usual."
"Oh okay and don't forget to take out some time to have fun too" Lila mentioned hearing Kagami giggle on the other of the call.
"I know. I'm going out with Adrien this afternoon to see a movie. Are you or Nathaniel interested?"
"I have to ask him"
"If you are coming, text me back"
"Sure and enjoy your lessons"
"Thank you"
"Bye Kagami" Lila said turning her phone off and watch Trixx look at her.
"Are we going to eat breakfast now?" Asked the fox kwami earning a nod from the miraculous holder.
"Yes I just put on my romper and head to the dining room"
"Are the casserolles lacto-free?" Asked the kwami.
"I don't know it Trixx, but I think the bacon you can eat without any problem"
"Mmmh" Trixx said licking her lips.
"Don't worry, I smuggle you some stripes when my parents aren't watching" Lila promised patting the fox on the back.
"Thank you," Trixx said following Lila to the closet observing her taking out two different colored romper suits, checking out the two thinking, which one she should wear.
Luka and Marinette sat in the dining room having a cup of tea having the company of the guardian, that had invited the two teens to pass by his home.
"Thank you for bringing the miraculouses I asked for Marinette," The older man told the blue-haired girl on the table, who took a sip from her cup.
"It was my pleasure" Responded Marinette. "I was surprised as I looked this morning at the calendar. It's been two years since I and Adrien stopped Hawk Moth from the evil-doing….Except he just wanted to get his wife back and that other guy was also evil, that wanted to get all the money of the Agrestes...by manipulating her and threatening he would harm her son if they didn't cooperate"
"The good thing now is, that all this is left behind our back and that this man is there, where he belongs." Master Fu said with a kind smile to the young girl.
"Also last year we took Nathalie down with the peacock miraculous and all she wanted was to get Gabriel's attention...Somehow I guess" Luka added to the conversation earning a nod from the two.
"Well during the time Mrs. Agreste was gone, she had to be more often around Adrien and Gabriel. She has most likely started to get attached to the two, mostly Gabriel." The former Ladybug miraculous holder told the taller boy, that nodded at her explanation.
"Right and now as Mrs. Agreste was now back and the Agreste's were back as a family again and Nathalie couldn't watch anymore his love together with another woman….wife in this case and that's probably how it could have started "
"Love can make some people go crazy" The kwami Wayzz said, that came flying from the kitchen. "Master sorry for the disturbance, but in one minute the cookies are ready."
"Turn the oven off Wayzz" Ordered the senior earning a nod from the kwami, which flew back into the kitchen.
"Where were we?" Questioned the man looking at the couple.
"Love making some people crazy" Answered the raven-haired boy.
"And it really does and I'm speaking from myself," The girlfriend of Luka Couffaine said. "How wrong I have acted towards Kagami or Lila, just because I thought they wanted to get Adrien away from me. I just wanted him at that time to like me the way I liked him, but I didn't realize how my behavior was. I entered into a fight with Lila, believing she was using Kagami to come closer to him, while all she wanted to do, was helping Kagami to know him better"
"Sometimes we do many things wrong, but at the end of the day we found a way to fix these mistakes and learn from them" Master Fu said making Marinette smile a little, then Luka placed his arm behind Marinette to caress her back, changing her smile into a lovely one and she leaned back to his shoulder.
"I think the cookies are now ready," Master Fu said getting up from the floor, followed by the two teens, then entered the kitchen to watch Wayzz trying to pull the door of the oven down, while Sass just levitated in the air observing the turtle kwami.
"It's alright Wayzz, I'll do that" Master Fu announced grabbing the handle to pull the door down, then picked up a mitten from above the counter to put it on and take out from the oven the metal plate filled with round sablé-like cookies in seven different colors
"Mmmh they smell tasty," Luka said licking his lips reaching one of his hands to grab a cookie, then Marinette held the boy back from it.
"No Luka, that's only for the kwamis" Marinette warned, making the tall boy sad.
"Oh"
"Luka could you please get the boxes Marinette brought from the bakery?" Questioned Wang Fu seeing the boy nod, who then left the kitchen to get the boxes.
"In each box, 4 pieces of each potion fits inside the box from this size," Marinette said taking a red cookie in her hand to check it out.
"And what do you think is this potion for?" Asked Master with a smirk looking up at his student.
"It makes you fire resistant" Responded Marinette.
"Very good"
"You could possibly walk through a burning house without getting any burns on the body, right?" Asked the blue-haired earning a nod from the master. "And what about the smoke?"
"It makes you also be able to not get intoxicated by it. So does the yellow one, which is for all the toxic sulfurs."
"Oh good" Luka appeared with the boxes, dropping them all on the table and Marinette started to fill a box with the cookies, then Luka did the same and observed her doing that, then did the same on the next box.
"I'll be right back, I'm just going to get the miraculouses back," Master Fu said leaving the two in the kitchen back.
"Have you got something planned today?" Asked Luka glancing at the girlfriend, that finished the first box, afterward started to fill the next box with the sables.
"I'm going with Alya to the TV station help her with the interview for her school presentation" Responded Marinette.
"Ah she's going to interview River Langerak, right?"
"Yes, exactly" Responded Marinette closing along with Luka another box with sables, then took the next box filling it again. "Only one more box and we got all"
"Should I write on the boxes the names?" Questioned the raven-haired boy earning a nod from the girlfriend. "Good," Luka said taking a pen out of his jacket, then wrote down on the top of the first box his name.
"Random question Luka, does Juleka actually know you're Viperion?" Questioned Marinette.
"Uh yes" Responded Luka. "Why?"
"Just wondering, because you two live in the same boat"
"She's my sister I thought it was better if she knew I was Viperion," Luka said. "I wouldn't like the idea, if she would be a fangirl of Viperion and gush about him like Chloé and then when she somehow figures it out, it would be really mean. Mostly, she often tells me, what happened at the school or somewhere else"
"That was a great idea then" Marinette agreed and picked up the boxes putting them up together in a pile, then the two watched Master Fu coming back with a few miraculouses on his hands.
"Here are the miraculouses again." Wang Fu said giving to Marinette's hands the goat miraculous earrings, the mouse bracelet, the butterfly brooch and the pig pearl bracelet.
"Thank you master"
"Be careful, don't let anyone get them away from you" Warned Master Fu earning a nod from Marinette.
"Don't worry master, I won't let this happen" Promised Marinette.
"Neither will I, cause I'm with her" Luka added watching Master Fu pack the boxes into a paper bag from the convenience store and handed it to the boy.
"Please when you two hand out the boxes, give it personally. Just in case" Master Fu said looking up at Luka, which grinned foolishly.
"Good idea," Luka said and followed Master Fu along with Marinette to the exit.
"If something happens, please inform me immediately," Wang Fu said to the two, which nodded in agreement with the short man.
"We'll be quick," Luka said raising his fist up in the air. "Sass, Let's slither!" Shouted the boy transforming into the superhero Viperion.
"I've put the miraculouses inside the bag, so I don't lose them," Marinette said as she tied up the laces of the bag, then Viperion took the girl in his arms, looking into her eyes making her blush a little.
"Hold tight" Viperion commanded the girl, which obeyed him and Viperion jumped away with the girl in his arms up at the top of a house, then ran over the roofs moving from housetop to housetop, approaching the metropolis, where taller building was present and Viperion jumped up at a taller house, afterward landed on the top of an ad with an image of Adrien posing for his father's fragrance.
"There's the TV1 station, that's where I have to go then"
"After the delivery is done, I'll drop you down there, is it okay?" Asked Viperion earning a nod from, then Viperion ran over the ad to the end of the top, jumping up in the air with Marinette in his arms, then Marinette started to yell, shrieking Viperion, which looked around to come in the way of a police helicopter, then they crashed on the windshield, which didn't break, due to the vehicle being slowly, because it had just taken off a few minutes ago.
Viperion slipped with Marinette on the nose of the helicopter, then grabbed himself with one hand on the landing gear, while holding Marinette with the other hand, which got frightened from the height and from the hands the bag had slipped from her hand falling down on the ground crashing on the middle of the road, where afterward a truck had passed over it.
"The miraculouses Luka!" Warned Marinette loud, then Viperion jumped down on the advertisment board sitting her down on the roof, then ran to the end of the board to jump down on the ground. "Hey wait!" Shouted Marinette running at the end of the board and stopping at the end, nearly losing the balance. "Ah!" Cried Marinette while moving with her arms in panic due to the vertigo she had from it, therefore she really lost the balance falling down. "Help meeeeeee!" Yelled Marinette, which Viperion heard and ran towards the building, where the ad board was from which Marinette had just felt down and Viperion jumped up in the air catching the girl, then he landed on his butt with the girl on his arms.
"Fuck!" Shouted Viperion after the harsh landing, then he looked at Marinette, which was still clammed on the boy frightened about, what just happened. "You're alright?" Asked the blue-eyes superhero earning a nod from the girl.
"I think I'm fine…..the miraculouses!" Marinette shouted running in the middle of the road, where the boxes lied ran over by the truck and only crumbs from the cookies lied on the floor. Viperion got down on the knees to look for the miraculouses and luckily found them under one of the broken boxes.
"They're here Marinette," Luka said grabbing them with his hands then giving it to Marinette.
"Thank you," Marinette said grabbing the bag, where the cookie boxes were and dropped them into the bag.
"Well Rose and Kagami's boxes survived this, we just need to bake for the others again and the problem is solved," Luka said picking up the overrun carton. "What we should be most happy is, that none of the miraculous got lost or broken, right?" Asked Viperion earning a nod from the blue-haired girl.
"You're right, let's get back and inform Master Fu about, what happened. We still got a little bit of time" Marinette said earning a nod from the superhero.
"Yes and this time we should go by feet or bus, just in case" Viperion suggested making Marinette giggle afterward the two made their way on the sidewalk to leave downtown.
