Our Love Story • Luka Couffaine

|Chapter 13|

He wasn't one that typically reads dozens of books in a day— But the way (Y/N) tells her tales draws him in.

Her shared passion for tales quickly became apparent. They spent hours discussing books, legends, and their favorite stories.

Viperion was captivated by (Y/N)'s vivid descriptions and her ability to bring characters to life with her words.

He had indeed, never met anyone quite like her.

"They got together in the end, of course! I never write sad endings." (Y/N) huffed proudly.

As (Y/N) finished her tale, she noticed a change in Viperion's expression. His cheeks flushed with a gentle warmth, and his gaze held a newfound tenderness.

Sensing the shift in the air, (Y/N) smiled softly, her heart aflutter with anticipation.

"How'd you like the story so far?" She asked him.

"Your stories are more than words on a page," Viperion confessed, his voice filled with awe. "They have become the soundtrack of my heart, (Y/N)."

Viperion quickly caught himself, teal eyes wide with surprise and bewilderment. His gaze quickly falters as he turns his head away from (Y/N).

He wasn't thinking straight, his heart was merely doing its own thing.

Fortunately, he caught himself before he was able to say anything stupid, "I have fallen deeply in love with y— Your stories! Yes!"

(Y/N)'s eyes widened with surprise and delight. She had not expected such a confession, but she was happy that Viperion was taking such an interest in her work.

"Really? That's great!" She beams brightly at him.

Viperion found himself falling deeply in love with (Y/N). However, he knew he had to hide his feelings from her.

Being a Miraculous holder, Viperion follow a strict code that forbade him from revealing his true identities to anyone.

Viperion couldn't risk compromising his secret or endangering his mission by revealing his love for (Y/N).

If he were in different shoes— His normal shoes, Viperion would go all in to show (Y/N) his love and dedication for her.

But then he's realized that she isn't really fond of him in civilian form— (Y/N) only knew him civilian form as that one weirdo who she keeps bumping into.

Despite his inner turmoil, Viperion couldn't resist the allure of (Y/N)'s stories.

Each story she told only deepened his affection for her, and he cherished every minute he spent in her presence.

The nature that surrounded them turned dim, and only the soft light of the street lamps and the sound of the wind accompanied them.

The more time Viperion spent with her, the more he's realized how passionate and interesting she was.

(Y/N) was like a breath of fresh air, and Viperion was a starved man who desperately needed his air.

He never wanted their time spent together to come to an end. Viperion wished to the heavens above that their conversation would never end.

Unfortunately, the sound of his bracelet beeping halted the twos conversation to a halt. (Y/N) jolted at the sound, and blush immediately flushed her face.

"That scared me. Is that the thingy you use to transform?" (Y/N) scoots closer to examine his bracelet, but all Viperion could think of was how close they were.

The proximity was suffocating him, but it was the kind of suffocation that he didn't mind at all.

He inhaled the scent of her, something so intoxicating that he was immediately addicted. Blush soared his cheeks, but then he heaves out a small sigh.

"It's my miraculous. Unfortunately, I need to go now." Viperion grumbled out, the tone of disappointment avail in his voice.

(Y/N) also looked slumped, but she quickly retorted, "Then I'll see you later?"

Those very words gave Viperion a slight tinge of hope. Maybe, just maybe— He can pull this off.

With a heavy heart, Viperion turns to gaze (Y/N)'s mesmerising pools of wonder, before turning back and preparing to launch himself.

"Yeah. See you later, (Y/N)." He smiles.
