Why Don't We?

Marinette sat at her desk taking a small break from her guardian duties to do some work on her portfolio and was sketching some new designs that had been on her mind for a while. She erased and redrew trying to get the design in her mind's eye perfectly on her sketch book. she hoped that with these designs she'd be able to take them to her superiors and have them approved so she could turn them into her very own clothing line. She sighed in content picturing everything, happy to imagine doing something other than hero stuff, not that she didn't love being ladybug but she did need something to fall back on once Shadowmoth is defeated. She hadn't really done much of anything besides trying to decode the grimoire. She'd barely even seen her friends outside of the occasional need of extra heroes, even Alya was busy with her Ladyblog segment at the station. Marinette was just about finished with her second design when her phone buzzed. She glanced at it while starting the third but couldn't see what kind of notification it was. she was half way done on the details of it when her phone buzzed again, this time she picked it up to see it was texts. Both of them from Luka, the first message read: hey you free tonight? We can have dinner and see where the night takes us. The second said: let me know and I'll pick you up at 8:30. She dared a look at the clock and saw that it was 7:30. She bit her lip and picked up her phone to make up an excuse but a little red bug mouse darted in front of her phone.

"Marinette why don't you go out and see him? It's not good for you to be all cooped up!" the raven haired heroine glanced over at Tikki and sighed. "I can't I've still got to figure out how I feel about him!" the little kwami gestured at the other kwamis for help. "Come on master! You haven't slept in days and that boy has been messaging you, he too seems worried!" Wayzz exclaimed floating by Tikki. finally, Marinette stopped fidgeting and slumped in her desk chair. "I know Wayzz but I can't see him right now not after our break-up and standing him up last time we were supposed to hangout, I feel awful!" she shoved her face in her hands. "I understand Marinette but don't you think he feels worse knowing you are actively avoiding him?" Marinette side eyed Tikki and closed her eyes. "y-you're right. I should apologize and try to hang out! Maybe this will help me get some kind of closure" determined not to chicken out she picked up her phone sent a quick text confirming and rushed to get ready.

By the time 8:20 rolled around she was ready and waiting in her living room for him. When she heard a knock she jumped up to get it. Luka was standing on the other side of the door looking amazing in a blue dress shirt so dark it looked almost black with black pants, his hair was perfectly tousled. The electric blue tips of his hair contrasting nicely with the collar of his shirt. Marinette caught herself staring and felt face warm. "i-I di-didn't know we were supposed to be formal. Let me go change!" Marinette came back wearing a light blue dress that made her bluebell eyes pop. "wow Marinette my heart plays a glorious symphony at the sight of you" He extended his arm and Marinette took it with a smile. Walking out of the bakery doors they were greeted to the sight of a shiny black limousine. With a small gasp she turned to Luka. "My dad insisted I take it when I told him I was going to see you. He said hello by the way." She smiled, happy that Jagged was making an effort with Luka after it was revealed that he was his father. luka held open the door and she slid into the seat. He gave the driver some instructions before sliding in after her. Everything was nice and she couldn't help but think about their short lived relationship.

Marinette chewed on her lip thinking about what to say." Hey Marinette are you okay?" she jerked at the sound of his voice "h-hey Luka I'm so sorry about standing you up last time! I just got all of your messages! I've been so super busy with my designs and my deadlines." She scrunched at the edge of her dress as she cursed herself for her jumbled words. Luka placed a hand on top of hers in a calming gesture. He always knew how to soothe her. "it's okay Marinette I understand its been tough for me too." Marinette felt her cheeks heat at his confession, she'd be kidding herself if she didn't think about what could have been... if she allowed herself to be selfish for once. She sighed "thank you Luka I've really missed you." And she had. She missed having someone who she could be so at ease with. Luka laughed softly "I've missed you too Marinette and this is a situation that's been weighing heavily on my mind." He took a breath before continuing "I still care about you… a lot and please forgive me for what I'm about to say…if it makes you uncomfortable" Marinette felt her heart stop before starting to beat so fast she felt it might burst. Marinette tried to steady the breath she hadn't realized had hitched and nodded for him to continue. "I had another intention besides just hanging out as friends, I wanted to know if you still had feelings for me, and if you did I would like to have another opportunity to show you what our relationship could be…"

Marinette sat dumbfounded as the silence in the limo stretched and grew heavy, the only sound audible was the steady rumbling of the engine as it drove. Luka continued slowly, unsurely "I understand this is a lot Marinette but I'm just asking you to keep an open mind." Marinette nodded and took a breath "look Luka I-I'd be lying if I said I didn't have feelings for you or if I hadn't thought about how easy things would be with you… but there- there's other things that can't let me take that chance." There were so many things actually so many things she was afraid of. Luka took her hands into his "There's no need to feel guilty about your feelings for Adrien, I know how strong your feelings for him are nor do you have to worry about the secrets you can't seem to share with me because I understand now that despite all of that you would never intentionally hurt me or anyone. I've never done anything like this before but I know I just want to love you. Even if it's just right now, in the middle, before you make your decision. So come on why don't we?" Marinette couldn't believe her heated red ears. He was fine with her having feelings for someone else? He was okay with her possibly never sharing a part of her life? "But Luka I can't just hurt you like that, unintentional or not! I can't guarantee that I'll be completely honest all the time there's some things I can't share, and I don't want you to take it personally." Luka contemplated her response and nodded with a look of determination "I'm asking you to keep an open mind please. Let's enjoy tonight and if you have no feelings for me I'll be content with just being your friend."

Their limo finally came to a stop in front of the Eiffel tower it was surprisingly quiet for this time of night. Luka put a hand on her shoulder and tilted his head towards the tower. Her gaze followed to where he gestured and saw that the stairs that lead up where still lit puzzled she looked back at him. His hand slid down her arm and tugged lightly. She allowed herself to be guided by him, hand in hand they walked in and up the steps. He stopped midway and she knew the place well as ladybug but as Marinette this was her first time here. It was beautifully lit by candles with a lone table for two in the middle. Marinette felt her eyes tear up at the site. She felt herself walking up to the table as she neared her seat she noticed Lukas' guitar leaned on the other side of the table. Luka not far behind her picked up his guitar. "Marinette before we sit down and enjoy this meal I wanted to sing you a song that I've been working on since the day I set my eyes on you."

Marinette's heart skipped a beat, the tears she had in her eyes finally spilled as he began to play. As his song went on she went inside herself and felt weightless. She was on a cloud; her mind wasn't buzzing for once. And she was sure that she needed to allow herself to let go just this once with him. He could be what she needed and she could be what he needed too. Luka's song had ended and he opened his eyes to see Marinette's tear stained face smiling softly at him. Instantly he was on his knees by her side "Marinette I'm so sorry i-I thought I had finished it but I see I might need to rework it." He apologized with his head down, feeling as though he ruined his final chance. "no it was perfect." She said as she cupped his face in her hands and leaned in and kissed him. The kiss was soft and chaste but full of emotion. Marinette felt herself let go for the second time that night and she felt so free. Luka although surprised wasted no time in falling into the kiss. It was everything it was the melody that he had been missing that he didn't know could exist. So exquisitely soft but so bold and unyielding it was the song inside his head, Marinette. The kiss grew deeper and soon they parted panting and flushed, both awestruck with the other. They practically lunged into each other's arms once more unable to get enough of that feeling. Food be damned for now they were hungry for something else. It took the sound of Marinette's soft moans as his lips dragged on her neck that jarred Luka enough to take a ragged breath. "m-Marinette not here let's go to my place."

They were once again sitting flustered in the limo but know for other reasons. Her mind was racing, did that really just happen? Thank god no one else was around, she didn't even want to think about what she would have done had he not snapped her back to reality. But her mind did want to think about that, her mind flashed with images of Luka taking her on that table the food strewn across the floor to make room. She closed her eyes as she pictured Luka laying her gently on the table his lips going to her neck kissing and nipping softly as they made their way down to her covered breasts. She sighed softly as she tried and failed to relieve some of the ache between her legs by crossing them together tightly. Luka sat across from Marinette his fierce gaze on her closed one. He watched as her lips parted slightly his cock growing stiff at the short quick breaths she was taking. His cock now at attention twitched at the breathy sigh that escaped her pretty pink lips. He had hoped that he'd get her back but he never expected to have her like this so soon.

Arriving at his apartment couldn't have happened fast enough. Marinette's eyes snapped open when she felt the limo stop. Luka was already out the car and practically sprinting to his front door, Marinette close on his heels nerves be damned she needed more of him. They had barely closed the door behind them before they were crashing into each other once more. Luka was pressing Marinette's back into his front door, her breasts mashed against his chest as they kissed fiercely tongues tasting the other. Luka tasted of mint and blackberries, cool and refreshing. she couldn't get enough of his taste she wanted more. Marinette felt hot, the ache between her legs intensifying with every flick of Luka's tongue against hers. He explored Marinette's mouth and to him she tasted of sweet vanilla and strawberries he couldn't help but wonder if the lips between her legs had a similar taste. she shifted against his knee making it go between her legs. her movement made his thoughts shift to the warmth on his knee. The new position gave her some much needed relief and she moaned out loud at the sensation. Luka groaned against her neck as his cock twitched again also aching for some sort of relief. Unable to contain herself Marinette ground her covered mound into his leg.

Luka smirked as he stopped kissing her only to hoist her up wrapping her legs around his waist. his hands settled on gripping her ass as he pressed her into his clothed erection. They moaned in unison as Marinette picked up on his rhythm and ground herself into him. She was so close when Luka slammed a hand into the door while the other still gripped her ass. "room. now." before she could protest or scold him for putting a stop to her pending orgasm they were already in his room. He practically threw her on the bed he wasted no time in undressing and climbing on top of her. "are you sure this is what you want Marinette?" his voice rough and low sent shivers straight to her aching core. "yes I'm sure now please please fuck me." He kissed her hard she felt her lips bruising beneath his. His kisses continued down her neck to her still clothed breasts just like she had imagined.

Her moans grew louder, and her breath more labored as he kneaded her breasts through her dress. He kissed her lips once more as his hands expertly unbuttoned the front of her dress her breasts sprung free the chill of the room making the pink peaks pebble under his gaze. Marinette mewled as his calloused hands pinched and tweaked her nipples. He took one into his mouth and she was on fire with desire. He repeated his ministrations on the other nipple before pushing up her skirt to reveal the lacy red panties she wore underneath. She heard his sharp intake of breath "fuck me Marinette you look so fucking good in red" you have no idea she though as she smirked down at him. He smirked back at her knowing something she didn't. "can I taste you Marinette?" Marinette's body flushed red but nodded. With her approval he wasted no time in pulling her panties aside and giving a long slow lick down the length of her slit. Marinette gripped at his comforter as she fought the urge to scream or close her legs. Luka, sensing she might close herself off held her legs open as he buried his mouth and nose into her moist cave. Her taste was sweet and musky deliciously warm. his cock was so rock hard at the thought of sinking in it hurt. He continued exploring, licking and sucking until she came around his tongue. He lapped at her juices and sat back to inspect his handy work, satisfied he took her panties off.

Marinette sat up to pull her dress over her head, her hair had fallen free of their signature pony tails long ago and now laid softly on her shoulders. "so gorgeous." Luka whispered as he laid them back down his lips taking hers once more. They kissed passionately their bodies engulfed in a fire that only they could put out. "are you sure?" Luka asked once more hovered over Marinette. "no not yet. I want to return the favor" She leaned up and pushed him back. He lay there leaning on his elbows watching her. She looked like a cat stalking her pray. She didn't break eye contact as she took him into her mouth. He closed his eyes in bliss at his cock getting relief. She took him as far as she could without gagging and popped him out as she went up. She wrapped her hand around the base while engulfing him once more. Her ministrations on his cock felt amazing so fucking good in fact that he had to put a stop to it before this night would be over much too soon. When she popped him out of her mouth again he stopped her. "Marinette stop I won't last much longer there's still more to do" she nodded and laid back. He kissed her roughly, he could taste himself on her lips. Soon the heat between her legs was too much to bare she begged for him as she desperately raised her hips to try and line herself up to his member. Luka's cock was flushed and painfully hard as he practically slammed into Marinette. Their bodies slapped together earning a scream like moan to escape Marinette's swollen kissed lips while Luka groaned at the feeling of Marinette around him.

She was so soft wet and incredibly hot. Marinette began rocking against him ready for more. Luka obliged and began to move against her, his cock was gripped by her pretty pink pussy as he slid in and out with ease, she was so wet for him. Marinette was a writhing mess underneath him, her moans sounding like soft urgent prayer "god yes yes please yes fuck fuck god yes!" spurred on by her words he thrust faster and harder into her as he felt her cum all over his cock. once, twice? She lost track of how many times she'd cum so far, feeling oh so sensitive she felt his thrusts grow sloppier and deeper. She bit into his shoulder to keep from screaming as she felt her third orgasm washing over her. Losing any semblance of her control she allowed herself to ride out these few waves. Her pussy squeezed and twitched into spams around his cock as if trying to milk him of his orgasm. " Oh fuck yeah Marinette I'm cumming I'm cumming!" he exclaimed as she succeeded in pushing him to orgasm, she clawed at his back, her pussy gripping him even harder as another orgasm overtook her and with a mighty roar and intense scream they came in unison holding onto each other as if their lives depended on it. His cock spurted rope after rope of deliciously warm cum straight into her waiting womb Marinette's pussy desperately squeezing every amazing drop out of him until he grew soft inside her.

"oh my god" Luka said as he collapsed beside her trying to catch his breath. Marinette smiled lazily at him "yeah that was amazing." She cuddled into him before drifting off into a deep sleep. "I love you." Was the last thing they heard before they passed out. She dreamt of a simpler life where she didn't need to carry so many heavy secrets, where she was spared the heart ache of loving a boy that never loved her back, where she could have that partner in her life that she could trust with anything because he would know who she was. He dreamt of a future with a certain blue eyed bluenette where they were happy in their relationship, where his love was enough to lighten the load she carried on her shoulders and where he was the only one she looked at with so much love and adoration. They slept peacefully in each other's arms until morning came and decisions had to be made.

Marinette opened her eyes first and stretched her aching body she turned her head and smiled at the form next to her. She couldn't believe how wonderful last night was, how easy it was to let go. She snuggled into him stirring him from his sleep he opened his eyes and smiled at her. "good morning Marinette." She giggled as he kissed the top of her head his arms pulling her closer than she already was. "good morning Luka! I really enjoyed last night… I-I hope you did too." Marinette felt her cheeks warm at the memories of last night and at the realization that they were still in fact totally naked. "I did Marinette, all of it. I would like to be like this always not like this… but with you as a partner, as your boyfriend." She blushed suddenly incredibly shy never mind the fact that they fucked like animals last night. He was so sweet and she couldn't deny that she had such strong feelings for him, not just platonic but romantic as well. "I-I would like that very much Luka…" she felt his heart beat faster underneath her. "o-okay but there's something I have to tell you before we can continue." Marinette sat up clutching the sheets "yes what is it?" he took a deep breath before taking her hands into his. "i- I know why you broke up with me, I found out when I helped you defeat wishmaker. I'm sorry I should have told you but I figured there was a reason you didn't want me to know. I-I also know who chat noir is. I'm sorry I understand if this ruins my chances."

Marinette could hear her heart beat ringing in her ears. He knew… he'd known for so long and never used it against her. "you've known this long and haven't said anything… does chat noir know that you know our identities?" Luka shook his head his face serious. "no Marinette I know how dangerous it could be if your secret got out, which is why I never brought it up until now. I've also just stood aside to let you figure life out, I know it's been hard on you. I want to help you in any way I can. Weather that be friend or lover I just want to be here for you." Marinette felt her eyes fill with tears, she reached for his face and pulled him to her for a kiss. "oh Luka I want you with me every step of the way. Thank you for being here for me. I-I want to be with you in every way, because I think I love you."
