7 April; we'll assume it's a Monday and the dinner is 2 days later

"A dinner date this Wednesday? Sure, I guess but what is the special occasion?" Y/n asked over the phone.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask my best friend out." Luka replied even though deep down in him, he's asking y/n out for another reason.

"It better not be a fast-food date, I've breaking out real bad because of heaty food." Y/n complained.

"Calm down, we're not going for fast food, you'll know on Wednesday." Luka calmly replied.

"I trust you Luka, what do I wear?" Y/n asked.

"Something fancy or casual would do." Luka replied.

"Fancy? Are we heading to a fancy expensive restaurant? Can you even afford a meal there?" Y/n asked.

"Y/n, you really need to calm down, like I said, you'll know on Wednesday." Luka calmly replied again. "Besides, I have to go now so bye." He continued as he hung up.

"Wait, I'm not- Ughh, bastard, you're so dead Luka Couffaine." Y/n raged as she threw her phone onto her bed.

"Woah, why are you so upset?" Marinette asked.

"It's Luka, he's taking me to a fancy restaurant this Wednesday and he might be paying for dinner and I can't let him go broke just for that one night." Y/n explained.

"Just let him pay for it, even if you feel bad, he's the one organizing the dinner." Marinette explained.

"Fine, I guess I'll just go for it." Y/n sighed.

*-*

The day of the dinner...

Y/n was in her room preparing for a special dinner with Luka which was also unexpected to her. As y/n was finishing up her light makeup, Marinette came into her room and commented, "Aww, my little sister is already preparing for her date with her man."

"Hey, it's not like Adrien won't take you out for a fancy dinner one day." Y/n rolled her eyes. Marinette say, "I get that he's rich but will his parents even like me? His father already has a hatred towards me for commenting on his bland pancakes last time I went to Adrien's house and I've never even met his mom before at all. The only thing he probably likes me for is my designs and other than that I'm just an ordinary baker girl."

"Adrien told me his mom is friendly towards everyone." said y/n.

"Yeah, but I really want to see her, just once." Marinette whined. "Adrien did show me some pictures and she's really pretty." She continued. When y/n was done primming herself, she grabbed her bag and went downstairs.

"Y/n, Luka is here already." Sabine called from downstairs.

"I'm coming." Y/n replied as she ran down the stairs. When she caught sight of Luka wearing a black buttoned up shirt with the sleeves folded at elbow length, she couldn't help but admire him in her own world. When she came back to her senses, y/n slipped on the second last step but held onto the railing at the side to position herself.

"You didn't see anything Luka." Y/n started.

"It's fine I didn't see anything." Luka smiled.

"Don't stay out for too long guys, there is still school tomorrow." Tom reminded.

"We'll be back before 10, rest assured." Luka reassured.

"Go enjoy yourselves." Sabine smiled as Luka and y/n left the house.

"Exactly where are we going?" Y/n asked. Luka didn't answer her question as both of them reached a car. Luka opened the door as he gestured to y/n to enter first. When y/n entered the car, she exclaimed, "Jagged Stone?"

"Hello lad, don't mind me. I'll be your chauffer for tonight." Jagged explained.

"What are you planning Luka Couffaine?" Y/n asked, glaring at Luka. Luka turned to smile sheepishly at y/n before replying, "Nothing."

"My son here isn't planning anything weird young lady, he just wants to take you to dinner." Jagged replied as the car drove off. After a 10-minute drive, the car pulled up at a bistro. Y/n looked out of the window and said, "Wait, I know this bistro, my aunt works here."

"Perfect place you picked son, go enjoy yourselves lads, I'll be back in an hour to pick you guys up." Jagged said as Luka and y/n got out of the car. As y/n and Luka entered the bistro, y/n was immediately greeted by her aunt who pulled her into a hug.

"Y/n, my dear, how have you been?" Y/n's aunt Kathy asked.

"I've been alright, what about you aunt Kathy?" Y/n asked.

"Been the same, table for two I assume?" Y/n's aunt asked.

"Actually, I made a reservation under the name Luka." Luka corrected.

"Ah yes, I remembered you called in a few days ago, this way you two." Y/n's aunt escorted the two to their table. As the two sat down, they glanced at the menu while y/n's aunt got both of them some water.

"I don't know whether to feel bad for you or not cause knowing this bistro, I know some of the food here are expensive as heck." Y/n started.

"It'll be alright, my dad gave me plenty of money for this." Luka reassured. After ordering what they wanted, the two patiently waited for their meals to come.

"How did you even know about this place?" Y/n asked.

"I was scrolling through Instagram one day and there was a post from this bistro that came up. It was advertising some dinner promotion so I went to the website to see what they had and the food looked good so I chose this place." Luka explained.

"I also realized something, why did you ask me out on the 9th specifically? Couldn't you at least have waited to the weekend to take me out for dinner?" Y/n questioned. Luka shrugged and tried to think of an excuse.

"I don't know, I'm busy this weekend so I had no choice to choose a weekday." Luka replied.

"But you could have done it next weekend instead." Y/n insisted.

"Can't, prelims are coming." Luka made an excuse. Y/n raised a brow and repeated, "Prelims? This early in the year?"

"Y-yeah." Luka sheepishly smiled. Y/n glared at Luka for a while but she didn't want to throw a fit in public so she dismissed the situation. As the food came, y/n Luka started digging in. Once they were done with dinner, Luka paid for the meal as they both left the restaurant and was greeted by Jagged Stone once again.

"How was your dinner you two?" Jagged asked.

"Delicious actually. Dad, could you take us to the beach now?" Luka asked as y/n gave him a questionable look.

"Why are we going there?" Y/n asked.

"To enjoy the wind at night." Luka replied. Y/n glanced at the time on her phone and agreed as the car drove off to the beach. Once the car pulled up at the beach, y/n and Luka got out of the car as Luka's father called him.

"If she doesn't feel the same for you son, it's alright. There are plenty of other lads you can find." Jagged advised.

"Thanks dad, see you later." Luka took his dad's advice as the car drove off, leaving y/n and Luka alone at the beach.

"This way." Luka started as y/n followed behind him. Y/n noticed some rose petals laid on the sand in the shape of a heart with some candles on the petals. In the middle of the heart was a mat and a guitar.

"What's this about?" Y/n asked, walking closer to the set up. Luka stepped into the heart formation as y/n did the same. He gestured y/n to sit on the mat as y/n sat down.

"So, are you going to tell me why did you bring me here?" Y/n asked.

"My dad always brought my sister and I here when we were young to enjoy the night sky and sing us songs." Luka explained. "That was before he and my mom got into an argument and he left for years." He continued. Y/n stared blankly at the sea and rested her chin on her knees, recalling how she and Marinette also came to the beach at night to watch the stars when they were kids.

"Why'd you have your guitar here also?" Y/n asked. Luka picked up his guitar and started strumming a melody which matched the ambience. He then strummed a tune which y/n instantly recognised.

"Wait, is that?" Y/n turned around as Luka started to sing.

There's nothin holdin me back- Shawn Mendes

I wanna follow where she goes

I think about her and she knows it

I wanna let her take control

'Cause everytime that she gets close, yeah

She pulls me in enough to keep me guessin' (Mmmm)

And maybe I should stop and start confessin', confessing, yeah

Oh, I've been shaking

I love it when you go crazy

You take all my inhibitions

Baby, there's nothin' holdin' me back

You take me places that tear up my reputation

Manipulate my decisions

Baby, there's nothin' holdin' me back

There's nothin' holdin' me back

There's nothin' holdin' me back

She says that she's never afraid

Just picture everybody naked

She really doesn't like to wait

Not really into hesitation

Pulls me in enough to keep me guessin' (Woah)

And maybe I should stop and start confessin', confessing, yeah

Oh, I've been shaking

I love it when you go crazy

You take all my inhibitions

Baby, there's nothin' holdin' me back

You take me places that tear up my reputation

Manipulate my decisions

Baby, there's nothin' holdin' me back

There's nothin' holdin' me back

'Cause if we lost our minds and we took it way too far

I know we'd be alright, I know we would be alright

If you were by my side and we stumbled in the dark

I know we'd be alright, I know we would be alright

'Cause if we lost our minds and we took it way too far

I know we'd be alright, I know we would be alright

If you were by my side and we stumbled in the dark

I know we'd be alright, we would be alright

Oh, I've been shaking

I love it when you go crazy

You take all my inhibitions

Baby, there's nothin' holdin' me back

You take me places that tear up my reputation

Manipulate my decisions

Baby, there's nothin' holdin' me back (Oh, whoa)

There's nothing holdin' me back

I feel so free when you're with me, baby

Baby, there's nothin' holdin' me back

"Woah, I didn't know you sing. That was really awesome and that's my favourite song from Shawn Mendes." Y/n commented. "What other songs are you going to play?" She asked.

"Know this one?" Luka asked as he started playing the next song.

Just the way you are- Bruno Mars

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh, her eyes, her eyes

Make the stars look like they're not shinin'

Her hair, her hair

Falls perfectly without her tryin'

She's so beautiful

And I tell her every day

Yeah, I know, I know

When I compliment her, she won't believe me

And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?" I say

When I see your face (Face, face)

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing (Amazing)

Just the way you are (Are)

And when you smile (Smile, smile)

The whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause, girl, you're amazing (Amazing)

Just the way you are (Are)

Yeah

Her lips, her lips

I could kiss them all day if she'd let me

Her laugh, her laugh

She hates, but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Oh, you know, you know, you know

I'd never ask you to change

If perfect's what you're searching for

Then just stay the same

So don't even bother askin' if you look okay

You know I'll say

When I see your face (Face, face)

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing (Amazing)

Just the way you are (Are)

And when you smile (Smile, smile)

The whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause, girl, you're amazing (Amazing)

Just the way you are (Are)

The way you are

The way you are

Girl, you're amazing (Amazing)

Just the way you are (Are)

When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing (Amazing)

Just the way you are (Are)

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause, girl, you're amazing

Just the way you are

Yeah

While enjoying Luka's performance, y/n couldn't help but think Luka was up to something but she didn't want to interrupt anything and decided not to say anything.

"How bout a duet?" Luka asked.

"The two of us?" Y/n asked as Luka nodded.

"I could play and sing and you could sing." Luka suggested. Y/n thought for a while before agreeing.

Rewrite the stars- Zac Efron and Zendeya

Luka

Y/n

Duet

You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide

I know you want me

So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied

You claim it's not in the cards

And fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me

But you're here in my heart

So who can stop me if I decide that you're my destiny?

"You know this one don't you y/n?" Luka asked.

"Yes."

What if we rewrite the stars?

Say you were made to be mine?

Nothing could keep us apart

You'd be the one I was meant to find

It's up to you and it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be

So why don't we rewrite the stars?

Maybe the world could be ours tonight

You think it's easy?

You think I don't want to run to you?

But there are mountains

And there are doors that we can't walk through

I know you're wonderin' why

Because we're able to be just you and me within these walls

But when we go outside

You're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

No one can rewrite the stars

How can you say you'll be mine?

Everything keeps us apart

And I'm not the one you were meant to find

It's not up to you, it's not up to me

When everyone tells us what we can be

How can we rewrite the stars?

Say that the world can be ours tonight

All I want is to fly with you

All I want is to fall with you

So just give me all of you

It feels impossible

It's not impossible

Is it impossible?

Say that it's possible

How do we rewrite the stars?

Say you were made to be mine

Nothing can keep us apart

'Cause you are the one I was meant to find

It's up to you and it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be

Why don't we rewrite the stars?

Changin' the world to be ours

You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide

But I can't have you

We're bound to break and my hands are tied

When their duet, Luka put down his guitar and turned to face y/n. He got her attention by slowly grabbing both of her hands as y/n turned to face him.

'Here it goes.' Luka thought. "Y/n, the first time we met I thought you would be the one for me. We share the same interests and we were always there for each other. These few months we've known each other, I felt that other than my best friend and my little unrelated sister, you were something more than that. Our first trip together, our first conversation, our first dance, we've been through so many moments and we still call ourselves best friends? You're the most extraordinary girl I've ever met, as clear as a musical note, as sincere as a melody, you're the song that has been playing in my head since the first day we met and from then on, my feelings for you become stronger." Luka finally confessed. Y/n's cheeks flashed red, unable to say anything.

'As clear as a musical note, as sincere as a melody, you're the song that has been playing in my head since the first day we met. That sounds exactly what he wrote in the card he gave me when I was sick.' Y/n thought back. Luka lowered his head and spoke, "It's alright if you don't feel the same and you want to be buddies."

"Luka." Y/n spoke, lifting Luka's chin. "You're the song that has been on repeat in my mind since the first day we met. You rock my world and I would do anything for you." Y/n smiled. Leaning in slowly, y/n made her way to Luka's lips as she pressed her lips against his. Luka caressed y/n's cheek with one hand while pulling her closer to him with the other as they enjoyed the moments. The internal feeling felt like a spark of fireworks blasting out of their bodies as they continued kissing for almost a minute or two. When their kissing session was done, they lightly blushed while chuckling at the same time.

"We still have some time before dad gets here, why don't you play something to bless my ears." Luka insisted, handing his guitar to y/n.

"It's been a while since I play an acoustic guitar but I'll try." Y/n replied as she thought of a song to play.

"God was blessed with someone with an angelic voice." Luka commented as y/n blushed at the comment.

"Oh, my dad is coming, let's go." Luka say as he helped y/n up.

"But what about all these?" Y/n asked. Suddenly, Luka's group of friends appeared from behind a tree and cheered for the both of them.

"Y'all, that kiss was really chef's kiss." Victor commented.

"You two enjoy the rest of your ride home, we'll clean this up." Sebastian added.

"Are you sure, this is a lot and the wind could blow everything away." Y/n insisted to help but the boys turned her down and said it was alright.

"See you guys tomorrow." Luka bid his friends goodbye as his friends started cleaning up the place. Y/n looped her arm around Luka's as both of them walked to Luka's father's car that just nice pulled up in front of them.

"It's official dad." Luka smiled as y/n comfortably rested her head on Luka's shoulder, interwinding her fingers with his.

"Luka chose the right girl, he's been gushing about you to his mother since the first day you two met." Jagged say.

"Dad, not now please." Luka looked down in embarrassment.

"Hey, it's alright, I have to be honest I gush about Luka a lot too." Y/n admitted. When the car pulled up outside y/n's house, both Luka and y/n got out as y/n bid goodbye to Jagged Stone.

"I'm not sure if you're alright with this but I don't really want my parents to know that we're dating." Y/n started. "Not that my parents are against dating at 16 it's just I think it's a little early, you know?" She continued.

"Including Marinette?" Luka asked as y/n nodded.

"I just feel it's a little too early to tell everyone, maybe later on in the year when I feel more comfortable with telling everyone." Y/n explained. Luka held onto y/n's shoulders and said, "It's alright, just be comfortable with what you have. If we were to secretly date behind our friends in your school's backs, so be it."

"Thank you for understanding Luka. I know your friends and your dad know about us so we'll keep it within your friends and your parents." Y/n thanked as she gave Luka one last hug before going into her house.

"I love you y/n." Luka muttered as he got into his father's car and drove home with him.

"Y/n, just on time, how was your date with Luka?" Sabine asked.

"Great actually, we had dinner at the bistro Aunt Kathy works at and then we took a stroll at the beach." Y/n replied.

"Sounds like you two had fun, why don't you take a quick wash-up and head to bed already, there is school tomorrow." Sabine insisted as y/n went back to her room to get ready for bed.

"Hey, hey, how was your night with Luka?" Marinette asked.

"Oh, you're still up? Well big sis, it was really great. We-"

"Went to the bistro Aunt Kathy works at and took a stroll along the beach, I know, I heard everything." Marinette interrupted. "Well, you should get some sleep now, we have school tomorrow." She continued as she left y/n's bedroom. Y/n wiped off her makeup and washed up a little before jumping into bed to see what messages she missed.
