Marinette One-Shots

Hello? Lukanette (songfic)

Hello by Adell (linked above)

Hello, it's me.

Marinette was back in Paris, after what had seemed like years, perhaps it was. She didn't know anymore.

Luka was there. Just across the square...

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet

Luka... Luka had been her first lover, a friend till the end.

To go over everything

Marinette supposed it was poetic, that after all these years, after so much time, after all the drama, she'd see the one person who would always make her regret what had happened.

They say that time's supposed to heal ya,
But I ain't done much healing.

The Marinette he'd known was dead, and despite her best wishes, she couldn't change that.

Luka was probably better off still thinking she was dead.

Hello, can you hear me?

Across the square, Luka sat with a girl, one who looked a lot like his sister.

He wasn't very far away...

All she had to do was walk over to him..

I'm in [Paris] dreaming about who we used to be...
When we were younger and free

Oh what a couple they'd been.

So young, and innocent.

Wild, and confident.

Passionate.

What's Marinette wouldn't give to have those moments again.

I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

Marinette had forgotten the sweet, sweet sensation their love had always brought her. She'd forgotten how amazing and exhilarating it had been.

There's such a difference between us
And a million miles

He had grown, so nicely.

He had gotten more handsome, more mature, with an air of awareness,

Whereas she'd just become older. Perhaps with a sense of sadness and too much knowledge.

Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home

Marinette had considered calling Luka so many times since the fall of the greats, since Paris was.. so close to being destroyed.

She'd imagined calling Luka countless times.

Apologizing, explaining,

But she couldn't make herself do it.

Hello from the outside!
At least I can say that I've tried..

Marinette hadn't really tried.

She knew that.

She was painfully aware of that, as she started at Luka, who looked so happy now.

Without her.

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Was it wrong of her to be kinda upset that he wasn't torn up over her?
Yes.

Did she also wasn't him to forget her?
Yes.

She supposed that was the way of life.

Marinette still regrets breaking his heart.

He didn't deserve that.

Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry

She wasn't considering what he wanted.

Marinette knew that, as she began to pack up her stuff on the park bench.

Marinette didn't want to have to hurt the way she knew she would if she talked to him again.

I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?

She wanted him to be ok though.

Marinette still wonders if he ever made it anywhere with his music.

It certainly was good enough. It could've taken him places.

It's no secret that the both of us are running out of time

Age was slowly killing them.

More so Luka. Marinette wasn't going to age fast. Not for a long time.

As was the price.

So hello from the other side (Other side)
I must've called a thousand times (Thousand times)

She wanted to go say hello...
Marinette wouldn't.

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home

She wanted to apologize, but she couldn't.

Hello from the outside (Outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

It still tore her to bits,
Even if was the only option.
Even if she did it to save the world.

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore..
Ooh-ooh, anymore
Ooh-ooh-ooh, anymore
Ooh-ooh, anymore
Anymore...

From across the plaza, he seemed to be alright now.
Happy even.

Hello from the other side (Other side)
I must've called a thousand times (Thousand times)
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hesitating, Marinette took a step, then two, towards Luka..

Hello from the outside (Outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

"Hey Luka. How are you?"

"Marinette???"
