"Juleka told me... you were on the other side of the city but you hopped on your bike and made it. You waited until I woke up..." (Y/N) said, hugging him tight "You have no idea how happy that made me. Your gift was my favorite, by the way," they said with a giggle, kissing his lips quickly again.
He smiled, kissing (Y/N) back before looking at them, shyness creeping into his expression "No regrets?"
"No regrets"

After a night of peaceful rest, Luka woke up first. Initially, he was still reeling from what he had imagined was just a really good dream until he saw the slight marks along (Y/N)'s neck, causing a deep blush to appear on his face. As flustered as he was, he couldn't help but smile as he took in how relaxed and content (Y/N) looked in his arms. He would be happy just laying there all day with (Y/N) snuggled up next to them. "Angel," he said, his voice soft as he began attempting to wake the sleeping beauty.
(Y/N) began to stir after around five minutes of Luka soothingly stroking their back and cooing gently for them to wake up, groaning as they mumbled about how early it was and hiding their face from the sun by hiding their face deeper in Luka's chest.
Luka smiled, kissing the top of (Y/N)'s head as he tapped them lightly "Angel, It's time to get up," his gentleness was met with a soft groan and (Y/N) pointedly ignoring him. He huffed a sigh of frustration and laughed "I'll make you breakfast," he murmured, tickling behind their ear with his fingers as he played with (Y/N)'s hair.
"Can you make pancakes?" (Y/N) whimpered softly, really wanting to stay in bed
Luka couldn't help but laugh as he gently sat up, bringing (Y/N) with him "I'll make you anything you want, Angel. You can come with me if you want,"
(Y/N) was too hungry to protest, which led to them making a huge mess with a side of pancakes. Luka laughed as (Y/N) underestimated how much flour would come out of the container, and happily got some on his hair to make them feel better. They completely raided the fridge to see what would taste good in a pancake. (Y/N) said Chocolate was great while Luka sided with the fruits.
"Just because you want dessert for breakfast doesn't mean everyone does. The fruit has naturally occurring sugars, and it's good for you." Luka said with a smile on his face as he threw a leftover strawberry in the air, catching it in his mouth.
(Y/N) huffed, jokingly crossing their arms and pulling their plate laden with chocolatey pancakes with a pout "No chocolate pancakes for you then," they said with a smirk just barely spreading over their face.
Luka, catching onto the joke, whined and wrapped his arms around (Y/N) from behind "Angel, please." he begged, dramatically drawing out his plea.
Their time of playfully was cut short as Juleka walked into the kitchen and set her bag down "Hey, Luka I'm back-" she started as she turned around "uhh hey, (Y/N). It looks like you two are having fun."
(Y/N) whirled their head around to face Juleka, their face as red as the strawberries resting in the bowl "Hey, Jules! Do you want some pancakes?"
She nodded, grabbing an apron from the closet "Sure, can't promise I won't do more cleaning than cooking, though."

"Wait wait wait wait," Juleka said, sipping their tea as Luka lounged on her desk chair. (Y/N) had left hours ago and Luka almost immediately pulled Juleka into her room to tell her what had happened the night before. "You kissed them?" Juleka said, her eyebrows raised and her arms crossed.
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 ;-;)
