⌦ The homecoming ball
⸻Her phone buzzed again as she groaned and finally opened it to check the messages. She was about to tap on Alya's contact when her phone rang. It was Alya. She accepted the call and put it near her ear.
"Hello! I have been texting you for the past 5 minutes straight! Why weren't you answering?" Alya asked from the other side of the line.
"I was taking a nap, okay? I was tired of doing my homework. What is it anyway?" She replied.
"Oh. So we have to wear, something like a gown! What kind of gown should I wear?" Alya asked, her voice filled with enthusiasm.
"Perhaps we should go for a shopping?" Y/n suggested.
"Will your father agree?" She asked.
"Can't promise but I'll try." — "Okay, then. Text me and let me know." — "'Kay. Bye."
She went downstairs and saw her father on his phone. "Dad?"
"Yes, darling?"
"Dad, I was wondering if I could go for shopping with my friend.." She nervously fiddled with her fingers.
"Um..okay. But don't go over budget." Her dad said.
"Of course! Thanks!" She rushed back to her room and quickly texted Alya, to let her know that they can go.
⸻❝This is so frustrating. Y/n, let's go back home.❞Alya says.
"What? Do you expect me to go their in a hoodie and black jeans looking like a murderer? No!" Y/n said as she looked for which gown will be perfect. Right now, they were in this store called Belle.
( A/n: Just so y'all know, the store name is made up.)
"Look!" Y/n exclaimed happily. "This one!" She said holding out a slightly peach coloured dress with flowers embroided on it.
"This is one's brilliant. I am impressed." Alya said looking at the dress. "Let me try this out."
She took the dress and walked into the changing room.
After a few minutes, Alya walked wearing the dress. Y/n gasped loudly. She looked absolutely perfect.
"You look..brilliant!" Y/n said with a huge grin on her face.
"This is a really good one. Let me look for a dress for you." Alya said and started to look into the store.
"Aha!" She exclaimed a few minutes later. "I found this gown. Try it right now." She holds out a peach coloured dress, the colour a bit light. It was pretty long and it was off shoulder.
"Opinion?" Y/n said as she walked out of the changing room. "Oh my God this is perfect! You look so good!"
"Thanks, mom." ⸻ "You're welcome, child."
"Oh and!" Alya showed Y/n a tiara-esque-thingy.
"What's this for?" Alya shrugged. "We're wearing these. I mean, they looked good."
Y/n chuckled as they paid for the dresses and then walked out of the store.
⸻❝Maybe, I should just go back home.❞ Y/n nervously fiddled with her fingers as Alya placed her hand on her shoulder.
"It'll be okay." Alya reassured. "I look fat." She said. Y/n had always been insecure about herself, her body. "Remember what you told me your friend Halley from London said, you look brilliant. I look a bit too..simple actually.
"Says the girls acing these dresses and looking absolutely breathtaking." A voice says from behind them Alya grins. She throws her arms at the person in front of her. "Luka!"
"Long time no see. You must be..?"
"Y/n." ⸻ "Luka. Pleasure to meet you."
"I don't have a partner." Luka said and nervously chuckles. "Neither do I." Y/n says.
"I have Nino. Wait, why don't you and Y/n become partners?" Alya asked.
"Sure." They said in unison and smiled.
She smiled and looped her arm into his. He fixed his slightly turquoise at the bottom hair and walked in.
Nino came with the speed of flash and took Alya with her. Adrien and Marinette joined them soon. Adrien was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled at the end. Marinette had put her hair in a neat bun and was wearing a green dress.
'And then there's me. In a half up, half down hairstyle.' She thought before Luka helds his hand out. "May I have this dance?"
She nodded and placed her hand into his.
I want to hold your hand by The Beatles comes on as Luka and Y/n start to dance. Adrien glared at Luka and waited until the song finished. He glanced at Y/n whose eyes were only on Luka currently. He noticed how dazzling she looked. How graceful she looked.
'Damn, girl.'
"Is that your lover glaring at me?" Luka asked Y/n. She looked at Adrien as he looked away.
"He is not my lover." She blushed as Luka smirked knowingly.
When the song finished, it was time to switch the partners, something for which Adrien has been waiting.
Marinette was now dancing with Luka and Y/n with...Adrien.
Can we kiss forever by Kina starts playing. Adrien snakes his arm around Y/n and she rests her hands on his shoulder.
(A/n: Play the song while reading :)
"You shouldn't hold me like this." She said while dancing. Images of Adrien and Marinette flashed into her mind.
'We can't be together. Not anymore.'
Only if she knew about Adrien's feelings for her. Only if they knew they did reciprocate their feelings for each other. But hey, it's never too late? Is it?
'But maybe everything that happened was right. Perhaps Adrien does belong to Marinette.'
"I know and I don't care." He says and twirls her around before pulling her close to him, her back towards his chest as she could feel his breath against her neck.
"You know this is wrong."
"I know but that doesn't stop my heart from falling for you." He says, twirling her around once more and pulling her closer to him.
"And just so you know, you're my everything. I don't understand why I agreed to date her. I am desperate to call you mine. I want to be the one makes your day." He says, gazing at her. She licks her lips nervously. "I want to be with you. Only you."
"You're with someone else. We can't be together. That's wrong."
"Tell that to my desperate heart which is dying for your love." He whispers, his breathing against her ear. "Nothing can ever replace you. No one."
"Or maybe it's just that you're crazy and you've lost it. You had a choice." Y/n spoke up.
"I am going to make it right. Promise, that I will."
"You can't."
"I can, and I will."
It is, as if the time stopped. They couldn't help but stare at each other. Their gazes fell on each other's face and none of them bothered to look away. Y/n couldn't help but stare at his lips. She felt herself slowly lean in until...
A huge ice spear was thrown.
Screams started filling up the room. Adrien was still in shock and Y/n took this as an opportunity to go and transform.
Their first pririorites was to save Paris, for that's what they were chosen for.
