For this, I will use a piece of headcanon of mine: Lila has a few friends she met in her travels around the world, all identified by nicknames that come from complicated puns: Lustro (met in Jeddah), Silvié/Rea (met in Tokyo), La Tigre della Torre di Tokyo (meaning "The Tiger of Tokyo Tower", they met in London even if Tigre is actually from Tokyo, as Tigre had followed her father while he was working abroad), and Pinks (met in London). They will appear in my story Fox Rain, with Lustro showing up as early as the third chapter, but today you get a small anticipation of one of the others.
Day 2: Valentine
It was Valentine's day, and this time Marinette was ready to ask Adrien out, even as she was a bit worried about Lila: her most unexpected friend had disappeared again in the last few days, and while she had been keeping contact she couldn't help but worry in a relapse. Even visiting her as Ladybug-and she was surprised it had been Lila to make the first step about becoming friends with her superhero identity, before Marinette could try again-hadn't helped, as the Italian fox wasn't there.
She was thus rather happy when she entered the class, holding a large chocolate cake that got the entire class' attention.
"Tomo-choko, Marinette." she said as she put the cake before her.
"Could you translate?" Marinette asked.
"Uh? Oh, sorry, I tend to forget that… I'm borrowing one of Japan's traditions about this day. You see, in Japan a girl can offer three types of chocolate: the giri-choko, or Chocolate of Obligation, for acquaintances and coworkers, the honmei of True Feeling for the one they love, and the tomo-choko of Friendship for their dear friends. Given our past differences I decided to make you the best tomo I could, so I went to Japan because one of my friends there has a special recipe I can't actually believe I got her to share and used it to bake you this cake. I hope you'll like it."
Still not used to how overboard Lila would get with everything, Marinette went and looked at the cake. She could see it was indeed homemade by an amateur, one not too bad-at least now she knew why she had been insisting for those baking lessons. Baking and decoration, it had on top a drawing of Lila wearing a white shirt, dark blue pants, jacket and wide hat and playing a traverse flute in a bandstand and Marinette listening with a smile. Suddenly, Marinette realized what Lila had presented her and herself on the cake, and looked at her with buggy eyes and an open mouth, too shocked to speak as her cheek became a bit pinker.
"Uh… Something's wrong?" Lila asked, worried.
Adrien, of all people, was the one to explain: "You represented yourself and Marinette as Peynet's lovers."
Lila looked at the cake in shock, her expression mirroring Marinette's except for a growing blush as she realized what her friend had tricked her into drawing and revealing. Then she said the only thing she could say:
"Tigre, io t'ammazzo…"
If nothing else, that had distracted Marinette from asking Adrien out, and netted Lila a death threat from the latter if she did anything to the former.
