Lean on Us (LukaxAdrienxReader)

A Huge Mess With a Side of Pancakes

Luka nodded, fiddling with his bracelets and blushing "yeah, I didn't want (Y/N) to go home by themselves, so I said (Y/N) could just spend the night with me. I let them go get a shower while I made dinner. I knew they were gonna borrow my clothes- I said it was fine- but they looked so...so cute." he said, almost rambling as he spoke. 

Juleka smiled, even when he was interested in Marinette he wasn't this excited. He felt at home with (Y/N), he was never worried about driving them off. Luka never had to pretend around (Y/N), he never had to put on a brave face. He found himself wanting to protect them- not that they needed protecting- he wanted to protect them because there was nothing more he wanted than to see (Y/N) happy. Seeing them cry broke his heart, and he never wanted them to be pushed to the edge like that ever again. 

Luka looked sad as he spoke again "And then we went to bed. It had to have been around three in the morning when (Y/N) woke up sobbing, sweating, whimpering. I don't even remember how many times I tried waking them up. They couldn't stop shaking. But they woke up and immediately dove into my arms. Eventually, (Y/N) started talking about their parents and saying some really personal things that I'm not going to repeat because it's their privacy- but we kissed." he said, his eyes watering as he remembered how helpless they both felt that night. Luka, wanting to help (Y/N) and (Y/N) finally breaking down. 

Juleka looked at Luka almost entering his own world of memories. She hugged Luka and smiled, "I'm proud of you. I'm sure it'll be okay, (Y/N) has you now and you have (Y/N)."

Luka nodded, hugging his sister with a smile "Can you do me one favor though?" 

Juleka pulled away and looked at him, eyebrows raised "Depends, what do you need," 

Luka looked shy as he glanced at the ground "Could you maybe not tell Marinette?"

Juleka immediately assumed Luka was still into Marinette and moved to smack him

"Before you hit me, it's because I've heard Marinette hasn't been nice to (Y/N) after the concert and I don't want school to be even worse for them," Luke said, raising his hands up in surrender "That's all it is." 

Juleka huffed, a muttered "fine" passing through their lips as she sat back down on her bed "You know if Mari does anything to (Y/N) that I'd take care of it, right?" 

Luka nodded "I know it'll be hard for you. I'd rather avoid it altogether" Luka said as he stood up, leaving Juleka to her business. 

"Okay,"

"Owen, I'm home" (Y/N) called out into the almost empty house. The grandparents were in Italy for a wedding so Owen was at home to keep (Y/N) from setting the house on fire. They carefully tiptoed across the foyer calling for Owen, who eventually popped his head out from the kitchen doorway

"I'm in here," he called out before going back to chopping vegetables. 

"Don't we have maids to do that?" 

Owen laughed, setting his knife down and wiping his hands "I give them time off when the grandparents aren't home. I like being by myself and I like cooking. Plus, they enjoy the extra break."

"How was your day?"

"Terrifying. I had no idea where you were except in the area of the Akuma attack before you messaged me like an hour later that you were spending the night at Luka's." He said in a scolding tone that barely lasted before his gossip mode got the best of him "By the way, nice job. So, what did you guys do?" he asked, his eyebrows wiggling with a knowing grin on his face. 

(Y/N)'s face heated up. Knowing there was no lying to Owen, they gave in "We kissed," 

"Finally! Haven't you liked him since you met?" Owen asked, looking at (Y/N) while they chopped some tomatoes. 

(Y/N) nodded "it was nice," they admitted before changing the topic, noticing there were three plates set out "who's joining us for dinner?" 

"My boyfriend," Owen said, turning to the sink. 

"Oh! Milo, right?" (Y/N) said 

Owen nodded "You could always invite Luka too if you want, I always make more than we need." 

(Y/N)'s face flushed again "I don't know. We just saw each other, he might be sick of me."

"Honey, trust your uncle." he said, a giddy grin on his face "he'll want to see you. text him" 

(Y/N) sighed, pulling out their phone and typing a quick text "Hey, I know we  just saw each other but would you maybe want to come over for dinner? Owen invited his boyfriend and I don't want to third wheel by myself" 

"Are you sure?" he texted back almost immediately "I don't want you to get sick of me after one kiss, angel" 

(Y/N) giggled, ignoring Owen's teasing looks as they typed "I want you here."

"Then your wish is my command"

(A/N: Hello loves! I apologize for the very impromptu hiatus. I am happy to announce that weekly uploads should be back and running smoothly soon! Thank you all so much for your patience. This chapter was pretty self-indulgent because I had to kick writers block pretty hard. Drink water, take your meds (if you take any), and stay nerdy! ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT I DON'T DESERVE YOU ;-;)
