Lean on Us (LukaxAdrienxReader)

Luka

Luka blushed and smiled "Yeah, I'm a little nervous,"

"Oh come on! You sing so well in practice, I know you'll do great!" Rose half-shouted encouragingly, her face lit up with anticipation and pride. 

Juleka cleared her throat, calling attention from both her girlfriend and her brother "Luka, this is (Y/N). They'll be hanging out backstage at the concert."

Luka smiled, waving happily "Juleka told me a bit about you. You know, it's not every day someone joins us backstage." he said with a joking smirk

"Is that a problem? Because I can hang out in the audience if that's an issue." (Y/N) said, their face flushed with embarrassment. 

Luka's attitude immediately shifted from joking to comforting, already used to things like this because of Juleka and Marinette. He looked at (Y/N) sincerely, stepping out from behind the counter and rushing to their side out of habit "It's not a problem at all, really! I'm sorry, I was just kidding. Juleka almost never invites friends backstage." 

Juleka smirked, knowing full well (Y/N) was going to turn as pink as Rose's outfit as soon as Luka turned back around. She looked at Rose and saw her taking pictures, muttering something about how they'll need this at their wedding.

"No, it's my fault! I'm sorry, I don't know why I was-"

"No apologies necessary, just try to relax. Can I get you anything, soda, water?" Luka responded in a gentle, intimate voice, carefully holding (Y/N)'s wrist 

(Y/N) took a deep breath and let their muscles relax, looking up at Luka with a bright smile "Water would be great, thanks!" Their smile caused Luka's heart to fill up with pride, suddenly really happy he was the one who made them smile. 

Luka nodded, heading back to the kitchen on a quest for water. As he dug through the fridge, Rose and Juleka looked at (Y/N) wise-eyed, Rose clearly trying not to squeal. (Y/N) giggled and blushed frantically, trying to pull themselves together before Luka saw. 

"So, what's the new song about?" (Y/N) asked as they sat down at the kitchen island, trying to change the subject.

At (Y/N)'s sudden question, the room suddenly stilled, filling with uncertain tension. Juleka glanced at the ground quickly while Rose somehow managed to look visibly smaller. Both girls snuck a peek at Luka as his shoulders briefly stiffened, taking in a deep breath as he did so. 

Luka smiled sadly as if pulling himself out of a bittersweet memory, looking down slightly to acknowledge the (H/C) haired stranger in front of him "It's about a girl," he started, glancing at Juleka with a curious gaze as she nodded softly at him. He reached glanced at the door and spoke in a low murmur "Can we talk about this outside?"

(Y/N) nodded, suddenly feeling an air of seriousness about the situation they hadn't felt before "Yeah," they replied as they found themselvee being guided outside, surprised by the gentle touch of Luka's fingers on their wrist. 

He helped (Y/N) step up onto the deck, both teens taking a brief moment to enjoy the sun warm their skin and brighten the mood. Luka leaned against the fencing, tilting his head back and letting the sun hit all of his features in an almost angelic way. 

(Y/N)'s face flushed slightly, trying desperately to push any thoughts away before they grew into something they couldn't control. They began to fiddle with their thumbs, pondering about which person was going to break the silence first. However, they were quickly silenced when Luka mumbled something quietly.

"What?" (Y/N) murmured quietly, trying to make this as easy a conversation as possible "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, we just met and-"

"No," Luka began, reaching up to his neck and fiddling with the silver chain dangling across his collarbone "I want to, I'm just not very good at talking," he said, trying to give (Y/N) some kind of explanation. 

"It's okay." (Y/N) smiled, pushing themselves off the wall they had leaned on and pulling hair from their face "There's no pressure. Take all the time you want," (Y/N) said, their voice bringing an overwhelming sense of serenity Luka hadn't felt since before Marinette, making his ears flush slightly. 

The boy smiled, glancing shyly at the ground and suddenly feeling slightly bashful before remembering what he's supposed to talk about, the very thought causing his smile to quickly fall away. He glanced at the water below them, seeing the light dance around as the waved constantly shifted before taking a short but deep breath "Her name is Marinette.."

(Y/N) glanced at him, their eyes filled with curiosity as they waited for him to continue.

"She was in love with another guy from the start. But she was so nice and endearing that I didn't care. I let her take me with them to an ice skating rink so she wouldn't be third wheeling- I thought we were getting somewhere and that we had a chance, but, they got together. After that Mari didn't want to see me as much anymore." He whispered, holding himself in his arms as he spoke "It happened a few months ago. Kitty Section has exploded since then so I should be happy, but, every show my sister goes off with her friends and I just kind of sit by myself. It's lonely. I was fine with that before she came into the picture so-" Luka continued, tears beginning to well up in his eyes as (Y/N) carefully reached out to caress his shoulder, causing him to stiffen up slightly before leaning into the touch. 

(Y/N) was speechless, trying not to break whatever spell it felt they were both under. (Y/N) studied Luka's features as he looked at them with such genuine surprise at the tender gesture "When was the last time you talked to anyone like this, Luka?" They whispered softly 

Luka's eyebrows raised slightly as he let out a laugh "Too long," he said with a smile. He took his arms off of the railing and straightening his posture, clearing his throat as the spell began to break. 

(Y/N) wordlessly opened thei4 arms "Is it okay if I hug you?" They asked, not wanting to make him uncomfortable but desperately wanting to hold him tight until his broken heart melts back together. 

Luka smiled brighter than he had that entire day, his joy finally reaching his eyes as he laughed and pulled (Y/N) into a strong, warm embrace "Thanks for this, (Y/N)."

"Anytime, Luka" (Y/N) said, basking in the love they felt from Luka as (Y/N) silently begged the universe for him to hold them like this again. 

When (Y/N) was in the bathroom shortly after that and Luka and Juleka made dinner, she noticed her brother's spirit burning a little brighter than it had that morning "So how'd it go with (Y/N)?" Juleka asked, a stupid grin on her face. 

Luka smiled like an idiot as he fondly remembered the moment him and (Y/N) had shared just minutes ago, "I feel so much better. You know how to pick 'em, Jules."
