The Identity Problem •Luka x Reader x Adrien•

Birthday

"Welp, you're gonna know what it is in a few seconds."

I clicked the movie on and started to explain the plot.

After the food finally came, what followed was us binge-watching a bunch of Disney movies in French. We spent the afternoon eating, laughing, and talking about life. Barely choking down bites between our giggles, slowly inching closer to one another.

The light rain hit the window in calming 'thumps', I simply pulled the blanket up tighter under my chin. The temperature dropped as the news had predicted, but it was nothing I wasn't used to after living in New York. Snickers was curled into my left side, resting his snout on my lap.

Ariel sang 'Part of Your World' while dancing across the TV screen. I sighed in contentment, unconsciously snuggling closer into Adrien's arm which was draped around my frame loosely. I closed my eyes as sleep began to distract me from being in such a warm and comfortable environment. I felt him pull me closer just as I completely drifted off.

I didn't feel real when I first woke up. My room was dark and it was later at night.

'How did I get to my bed?'

I looked around to find Snickers at the foot of my bed, tucked against my feet. My eyes scanned for the familiar blonde that was keeping me company. They fell on my phone sitting on my bedside table, a sticky note taped to the screen.

𝘏𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦, 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘦. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘶𝘯, 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯!

I smiled, his handwriting was annoyingly impeccable. My eyes traveled to the sleeve of the forest green sweatshirt I was wearing, definitely not mine. I could feel a blush start to tint my cheeks but I swallowed it down.

I flopped back onto the bed, in exasperation. Dealing with my emotions has never been my forte.

Staring at the ceiling of my room, I thought about calling one of the guys but quickly snapped myself back to reality. I've barely talked to them since what happened at the Halloween Bash. Especially not Trevor, the only interaction we've had have been the weekly conference calls our media coordinators and managers have with all of us. Even then it's not like we interact.

I still haven't resolved that problem yet. Trevor and I have never had this problem before, we've had fights but I never have been scared to talk to him.

I sighed to myself, pulling the collar of the sweatshirt up to my chin. For now, I could enjoy this weird happiness spreading over me, and ignore the empty feeling in my heart.

"Happy Birthday!"

I chuckled at Poppy through my phone, which was currently wedged between my shoulder and my ear as I fiddled with my lock. She was the first to call as usual because of her wacky sleep schedule.

I skipped the last step and hopped on my skateboard, flying off toward school. Having to go to school on my birthday was a major bummer, but at least it was Friday so I could have the weekend to celebrate.

"Thanks, Poppy, I miss you a lot."

I could feel her sigh from across the line.

"I wish I could talk longer but I have a meeting, I'll call you after school finishes up, ya?"

Now it was my turn to sigh, busy as always. I tried to hide my disappointment.

"Ya see ya."

"And y/n spend some time with your friends ok?"
