It was Friday. Luka and Marinette would be going on a date. She couldn't wait. She put on a cute little pink dress and curled her hair. He was picking her up at 6 for dinner at a fancy restaurant. He arrived 10 minutes early with a bouquet of bluebells. She kissed her parents goodbye and joined him on the sidewalk to hail a cab.

"I like your dress," he said shyly.

"Thanks. Your tux is cute too," she replied. He waved down the first cab he saw and opened the door gesturing for her to go first. On the ride there all was silent but the second she saw the restaurant her mouth couldn't be kept shut. "It's so pretty! Look at the railing! Omg! Do we get to sit on the roof? How much did this cost? Luka! You're the absolute best!" She shouted. What she saw was a rooftop garden accompanied by a live classical band and the fanciest tables she'd ever seen. Fairy lights and lanterns were hung everywhere and you could see all of Paris from their table. Crystals were imbedded into the pathway and rose petals were flung everywhere. Marinette suddenly felt very underdressed. Her dress was cute but no where near as fancy as the place she was visiting. She hesitated as they stepped onto the roof. Luka was holding her hand as they walked down the path to their reserved table. "I feel sort of out of place," She mentioned softly. She squeezed her hand and told her not to worry.

"You look way more beautiful than any of the other people here." He pulled out her chair for her and they ordered their drinks. While they were scrolling through the menu Adrien and Nathalie walked through the door. They were placed right next to Luka and Mari. He slid her a quick wave as he sat down and grinned. She waved back and continued to stare at her menu. Don't let him distract you she told herself. She believed she was completely over him since it had been years but deep in your heart you never really stop loving your first crush. Luka noticed him and motioned him over.

"Hey Luka, what's up?" He asked.

"You look like you know your way around this kind of restaurant. You kind of seem.. comfortable. What do you suggest I order?"

"I love the snow crab legs here. They taste amazing and are normal enough to not be considered too fancy. It's a good way to venture into the world of up class dining. Another good choice would be the matzo ball soup which is particularly good here. Most salads here are tasty as well but whatever you do don't try the escargot. It may be a delicacy but it sure is disgusting!"

"Thanks for the advice. I think I'll have the crab."

"Me too," Marinette chirped from the sidelines. Adrien made his way back to his seat as the waitress came back to take their orders. When the food arrived Marinette just stared at it for a minute. She didn't know how to eat it. She hesitantly picked it up and stuck it into her mouth. She bit down and immediately spit it out. "Ugh!" Luka smiled as he saw her struggling. He handed her a fork and demonstrated the proper way to eat it. She blushed embarrassed. She looked down on her food and slowly started eating. "Hey! This is really delicious! I can't believe I never tried it before! I've gotta thank Adrien for the suggestion later." She looked absolutely stunning when she smiled. Luka couldn't help but stare. She looked up at him to see his perfect eyes staring back at her. She was about to look down again when she felt his soft hand on her cheek. He swiftly pushed her hair out of her face and smiled sweetly.

"You're so beautiful," he said. Her face was as red as a tomato. She leaned forward so her face was closer to his.

"And you're absolutely adorable," she whispered. Before she knew it her lips were on his and time momentarily stopped so that she could cherish this memory forever. She felt like they were the only two people on earth. She was breathless. How could one person make her feel so special. Neither of them noticed Adrien staring at them from his seat. They were too caught up in each other's eyes. Adrien didn't realize why but his heart sunk when he saw them together. He had always seen Mari as just a friend but seeing her with someone else broke him. He tried to focus and remember he was in love with Ladybug but it felt as though he'd just lost the love of his life. He couldn't shake the feeling that something in his heart had just gone missing. When he came back from his state of shock he saw the couple giggling and feeding each other chocolate covered strawberries like in the movies.

"I'm not hungry anymore," he told Nathalie wearily. "Let's go home." He headed for the exit but as he passed by their table he felt her hand grab onto his arm.

"Hey Adrien, thanks for the suggestion for dinner. It was delicious," she said smiling. He nodded and told her it was no problem. When her hand let go he couldn't help but feel even worse. The emptiness which had disappeared when she touched him was back again and he was on the verge of tears. He made his way to his limo before completely breaking down but for the rest of the night he couldn't take his mind off of that moment.

Meanwhile Mari and Luka had finished their meal and he was walking her home in the moonlit streets of Paris. Her hand was grasping his and she skipped along the path like a cheerful child.

"Hey Mari," he said suddenly stopping. He pulled her close and held both her hands so she was facing him. "You're the most extraordinary girl Marinette. As clear as a musical note and as sincere as a melody. You're the music that's been playing inside my head since the first day we met. What I'm trying to say here is... I'm in love with you. Will you be my girlfriend?" She was shocked speechless. She couldn't understand how someone so amazing could be in love with her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face into his chest.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend," she choked out before sobbing her eyes out.

"Woah, what's wrong Mari?" He said worriedly.

"I'm just so glad I found you," she cried. "You're so much more amazing than Jackson would of ever been." He continued to hug her then walked her the rest of the way home. Before leaving he kissed her goodbye at the door and wished her a goodnight. She went inside to find her parents gleefully celebrating her new boyfriend. They had been watching her. Figures. She said goodnight and promised to invite him over one day. She headed to her room and heard a knock on the door leading to the roof. She opens it to reveal none other than Chat Noir sitting there waiting for her. He looked completely defeated. She made her way up to speak with him. "Oh hey Chat. What's up?" They had become friends through him regularly "saving" her during akuma attacks.

"Marinette... do you think Ladybug will ever love me?"
