Bluebell eyes stare at the Couffaine Liberty houseboat, as it is calmly rest on the water. Hands shaking as she quietly stiff walks up the rope bridge upon it.

"Marinette, don't forget this is Luka. He understands you better then you think."

Tikki's good willed words don't relax her Bug much. Tho the Kwami of Creation, winks at her brother in coming. Marinette unaware Sass phased into her pink purse before leaving her bedroom.

Finally getting off the mini bridge, as she goes to knock on the cabin closed door, it swing open. Copper red eyes widen seeing the pigtailed blunette. Smiling brightly, she hugs her tightly.

"Hey Marinette. Sorry if you're here for me. Adrien just called, they need a fill in for a model that got sick. Bad shrimp go figure."

The dark ravenette smiles somewhat sad, but side glances the baker's daughter. "Oh he is here. Practicing, he's writing a farewell song for. . . well you know."

With that Juleka races off, waving not realizing Marinette's sour expression as the younger Couffaine sibling spoke.

"Roaar would be proud, she is speaking her mind more."

"Yeah, he would be."

Marinette absently agrees with Tikki. Both Kwamis smirk at one another, hiding once again. She walks in, as Juleka left the door open a bit off the door frame.

The music of his guitar leads her to his bedroom. The door of course wide open. As he sits crossed legged on his bed. Bitting her lower lip, she quickly turns around, her backside to him as she prepares to dash away.

"Marinette, your melody sounds hurt. Wanna talk about it?"

His fingers stop playing as he smiles at her freezes shoulders. Giggling nervously, wild hand gesturing to the outside. He chuckles softly, as she groans finally turning to face his patient smile and aqua blue eyes.

"Well since you asked. Sure, thanks Luka."

Her calmer smile, gets him chuckling softly. Gesturing to take seat on the foot of his bed. She gently lowers herself down, just smiling back him.

"Okay well, it's. . . ugh. I really shouldn't -"

"It's about Adrien, right? Your melody is buzzing with emotion. You just can't focus it."

Her shocked bluebell eyes widen, his words have her mouth shut tight. Shoulders slump, as she sighs, looking down at her fingers. As if they held answers.

His left hand grips her right tiny one. She continues to stare at his black nail polish covered hands. His smile unseen but he squeezes her hand, her eyebrows rise as if shaken out her thoughts. She lightly rips her hand out of his own.

Looking across her, deeply into his caring aqua blue eyes just waiting. Angrily she pulls her blunette pigtails, a minute later she's smiling more relaxed.

"Sorry. Adrien, he- I found out he has this whole other side to him. That I never noticed. Or really- didn't want to notice I guess."

She rises off his bed, starts pacing the floor in deep thought. He gently plays a relaxing melody.

"That's besides the fact he and Kagami are so happy together. It still pains me, that he has her. Tho yeah I'm happy for Kagami, and happy for Adrien well of course. God I'm a horrible friend."

He looks up at her, as she stops pacing. Feeling him looking at her. He takes a deep breath as she subconsciously follows in suit.

"Marinette, you're not horrible. You love him, it's not a crime. Well all the following you did, was."

Her face grows tomato red, as she shyly looks away giggling. Clearing her throat, she groans at her idiocy back then.

"Look Marinette, you learned more about Adrien with this other side to him right? It was something you needed to understand, something to really get him. Now that you know, the real question is do you still love him?"

"Yes, but not as I thought I did. He's still in my heart but not my whole heart. If that makes any sense. God I really was so blind and stupid."

Luka's deep chuckling gets her joining in. She gently sits back down, now closer to him.

"I am glad Adrien has Kagami. With what I know, he trusted her enough to know this. I think you deserve to know me too."

Luka tilts his head curiously. The smile on his face never leaving. As Marinette opens her pink purse she gasps dramatically, seeing two pairs staring at the two.

"Hello Luka. Thank you for talking to Ladybug. She truly needed to open up to someone. I'm grateful it was you."

Sass states smiling as he floats into Luka's open hand. His reptilian yellow eyes not looking away from the young guitarist. They look to Marinette, to find her glaring at a grinning Tikki now out her pink purse.

"Marinette give Luka the Snake Miraculous. We will need more help soon."

Tikki's smug remark has Marinette groan but nod all the same. As she grabs the snake bracelet, handing it to Luka. She lets her fingers linger in his touch.
