Hey everyone it's great to be back! I missed writing Lukanette and Adrigami so much...I apologize for my absence and I apologize that this isn't Halloween related. I honestly did want to write Halloween minifics again because my schedule has been busy but, it sadly wasn't in the cards. I will probably publish something Halloween related later so stay tuned.
And just to note there is an Adrienette break up in this fanfic, just a warning. Thank you and enjoy.

The rain wouldn't stop falling, and Marinette hated it. The sky was the darkest she had seen so far, and she couldn't stand being in this room any longer.
Against all reason, Marinette ran out into the rain and learned the hard way that rain couldn't dry her tears. It only made her sorrow deeper. But she just had to escape the bad relationship she had created.
Although she couldn't just run away from something, she started, especially since she started to hear frantic panting and puddle splashing.
"Marinette!"
Adrien was coming, like the knight in shining armor that he was trying to be. But he wasn't the knight and shining armor she dreamt of. The one she thought he was. Her fantasy didn't match up with reality.
He ran over to her with a big umbrella that he tried to shield her with, but Marinette couldn't help but shield herself with her arm.
"Marinette!" Adrien looked at her with complete helplessness in his green eyes. "Please don't do that again!"
But Marinette couldn't help but choke and sob again as she shook her head.
"No! No!" Marinette cried as Adrien tried to put his arm around her, but she only recoiled again.
"I can't!" Marinette held herself as she shivered, and heavy raindrops rolled down her arms. "I won't!"
Adrien's heart dropped. He remembered, even if he tried to brush it off.
Even if he and Marinette tried their best and had plenty of good times, Marinette felt so insecure, even if Adrien tried to tell her she was perfect. But Adrien guessed now that wasn't the type of support Marinette needed.
He thought how Marinette must've felt trapped. Especially since all her friends thought they were perfect together.
Adrien guessed perfection was only on the surface. That Marinette's meddling friends were dead wrong. And should seriously mind their own business because any longer of this, and he and Marinette would destroy each other.
"I just want the rain to stop!" Marinette cried as she placed her face in her hands.
Watching Marinette so miserable made Adrien know what he had to do, even if it would hurt to let her go. But it would hurt more to stay together in constant discord.
"I know…" Adrien said. "I do too."
Marinette gasped as she looked up at him. She was too afraid to even suggest a breakup before because Adrien needed someone in his life. And she didn't want to make him sad, but she had been unhappy for so long, and she could barely hold herself together for much longer.
Adrien paused for a moment to look away. "I'll let you go…." When he looked back into her eyes, he tried his best to smile. "And then we can finally be who we are meant to be."
Adrien tried his hardest to smile through the pain. Someone had to try to bring a ray of light. He may have been incapable of stopping the rain, but he could at least stop the madness.
He held the umbrella over a speechless Marinette. But there was a glow in her bluebell eyes, and she turned away and ran as fast as possible. God, she was still so reckless even when broken. He only wanted to walk her home and say goodbye with a smile, but Marinette was running at the speed of sound even though the rain wasn't kind to her.
Adrien tried to reach out for her one more time, but a blinding blue flash of lightning hit, and as Adrien blinked his eyes, she was gone with the wind.
She was finally free, even though she was kicking and screaming.
Marinette knew she wasn't being rational again. Still, Adrien broke off the toxic relationship between them, and her first instinct was to run to a place where she could clear her mind. Granted, as she ran, she could see the blue light that glowed behind her, and the loud crash of thunder rattled her entire being and caused her to run faster.
Marinette would've liked it better if this whole thing ended on a clear and sunny day with none of that heavy rain and lightning that represented their relationship.
But it was over now, and Marinette could finally escape the rain. However, Marinette was so overwhelmed that she miscalculated where she was running and ended up in the park, where the rain finally slowed down.
Marinette felt relief as she fell to the ground and saw everything was much clearer. Rays of lights came out of the gray clouds, and she found comfort that everything was quiet. Almost too quiet, as if she were the only one in the world.
Marinette picked herself up and couldn't help but watch as all the gray clouds cleared up. She lifted her hands and tried to let the sunlight warm her cold arms, and then she looked at the clear puddles below her and saw her reflection.
Her hair was an absolute mess, and her clothes were soaked as if she had been underwater for hours. It was like she cried a million tears, but at least the storm finally stopped.
Marinette was always one to keep going, even if life threw her a curb ball. One stormy day meant nothing, and she decided to leave the park before anyone worried.
As she walked through the park, she saw the sunlight reflect off the puddles as if the world around her was healing. And as she headed toward the exit, she became breathless as she saw a familiar boy wearing a raincoat and holding an umbrella.
But Marinette couldn't move because she wondered if she had hit herself on the head while running and was just dreaming.
"Marinette!"
Hearing Luka's voice full of distress caused Marinette to gasp. Luka wasted no time throwing his umbrella to the side and running to her.
"Marinette! What happened?!" Luka cried.
Marinette only started crying again as she ran to him and threw her arms around him.
"Luka!"
Luka was breathless as he heard Marinette's melody, full of distress, as she wrapped her loving arms around him. He was utterly confused as Marinette didn't give him a clear answer. But as she was crying uncontrollably, he couldn't help but hold her close and run his fingers through her hair.
Marinette felt her entire body heal as she felt his warmth. Luka softly and repeatedly telling her that everything was going to be ok made her whole world shift.
Everything was going to be ok. Marinette just wished she had run to Luka much sooner.
"I missed you so much Luka!" Marinette cried in his chest.
Luka gasped. He knew Marinette and Adrien were dating, but the way Marinette held him right now was telling him something. She looked at him with such a bright look in her bluebell eyes as she smiled, her face stained with tears.
Luka wiped some tears from her face as her eyes sparkled. Against all logic, he moved his face closer to hers, and Marinette pressed her lips against his.
Marinette felt like her heart was brimming with light as Luka kissed her passionately as if he had been waiting for this moment his entire life. He loved her more deeply than Adrien ever did, and she could feel it in this moment. And she wanted this moment to last forever as she ran her hand through his hair. But the kiss broke when Marinette and Luka felt the rain again.
A beautiful sun shower rained on them gently, and the two of them couldn't be more elated. Finally, Marinette could feel her salty tears wash away with clear water, and she could be with Luka. The boy who made all her storms go away. Luka smiled at Marinette as she took a moment to enjoy the raindrops falling on her.
Then Luka took her hand as he agreed to take her home, and Marinette felt so safe hearing his sincere words and holding his hand. But with him, she already felt she was home and would be able to weather any storm with him from here on out.
The two of them walked together as a rainbow appeared above them.
After Marinette ran from him, Adrien turned in the other direction and walked into the rain with his umbrella clutched in his hand. That whole dramatic relationship he and Marinette had was finally over, but the rain hadn't stopped yet. In fact, it was only falling harder to the point where the sound was deafening.
Adrien knew he should go for shelter, but after the breakup, he felt like surrounding himself with his sorrow. Marinette was gone, and Kagami had walked away from him long before.
He and Kagami had something genuinely good, but he didn't realize it until it was too late. She will never forgive him now, not after all the wrong decisions he made as his idealistic desires blinded him.
This pain was all becoming too much with how quickly he lost people he cared about. He just wanted the rain to stop. But a gust of wind caused the umbrella to slip from his hand, and the umbrella tumbled onto the ground.
Adrien was always considered a perfect porcelain doll by the masses, and now he was getting soaked by an unforgiving rain shower. He tried to grab his umbrella again, but then he was blinded by a swift lightning bolt that hit the umbrella.
Adrien stepped back as the umbrella that trapped him and Marinette together caught on fire because of a lightning bolt. And the umbrella was burning to pieces as the rain kept falling.
What exactly were the odds of crazy stuff like this happening to him? Adrien threw his hands up and turned away. Even if he was a black cat who hated the rain, he walked away from the cursed umbrella with his fists held high.
If Marinette could be strong enough to brave the storm alone, then so could he.
But it was possible to be strong during a storm and also be heartbroken.
Everything around him blurred to gray as he felt his eyes burn as the rain washed away the tears he cried. All he could hear was the sound of heavy rain.
That is until he heard the sound of a familiar voice.
"Adrien!"
Adrien opened his eyes as he felt his heart skip a beat. He felt life come back into him as he saw a familiar girl with bob-cut hair holding an umbrella and looking incredibly shocked.
"Kagami…" He said breathlessly.
Kagami quickly ran to him so her umbrella could shield him. Adrien tried to move away because he didn't feel he deserved her selflessness, but Kagami looked as if she had no regrets.
"Adrien, what happened?" Kagami cried.
Before Adrien could answer, both of them heard the rain stopping. Adrien turned to see that the rain was clearing up, and rays of sunlight were pushing through the gray clouds. Then he turned back to Kagami and smiled at her. A warm smile that caused Kagami to blush.
Adrien blushed as well because Kagami was so cute, so incredibly lovely. He smiled at her and placed his hand on his heart.
"I missed you…So much," Adrien said.
Kagami felt her face heat up as she looked away. "I missed you too, but…."
Adrien took her hand in his as she dropped the umbrella. The warm sunlight helped Adrien feel alive again as he wrapped the petite girl in his arms and twirled her in the air. Kagami laughed so adorably as she enjoyed being in his strong arms. And as Adrien held Kagami in the air, she gave him a loving look as she placed her hand on his cheek and planted a sweet kiss on his lips.
Adrien placed her on the ground and put a hand in her hair to deepen the kiss, but to his disappointment, the kiss broke when the two of them felt raindrops fall on them.
A beautiful sun shower washed away the pain and made everything around them beautiful. The two laughed and pressed their foreheads together as the rain cleansed them.
And when the final storm finally cleared, Kagami laced her hand with Adrien's and promised to take him home so he could dry off.
Adrien smiled so warmly down at her because he would go anywhere Kagami would go, and with her around, he would always be safe and sound.
But as they walked hand and hand, they were stopped by two rainbows in the clear blue sky arching over them. Kagami was breathless as Adrien wrapped his arm around her and held her close. Two rainbows after a long depressing storm.
Marinette couldn't help but cry happy tears as she felt such warmth inside her wearing Luka's raincoat and having his arm wrapped around her.
Luka smiled, knowing the long storm that Marinette was in was now a distant memory, as he kissed her on the forehead.
Two rainbows reminded the two couples that love is like after the rain.
Not just an endless storm.
I apologize if this isn't my best work. Life has been really hectic...I did edit this fanfic as much as I could though.
Also...This originally was just going to be a oneshot but I think I will add a second part to it. So stay tuned!
Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!
