I'm Your Temporary Ladybug! (Cat Noir x Reader)

Love-Keeper

(Y/n)'s p.o.v

"How am I even supposed to tell Luka about this Tikki? What if he thinks I am lying?" I ask unsurely as I stare back at my phone as I pace around in my room and then my thoughts travel to little rockstar who has become like an older brother to me. I don't want to hide this from him. He deserves the truth, even if it will break his heart.

"(Y/n), you are probably the most honest person that Luka knows. Whether he likes when you are honest are not, you do not beat around the bush and I can tell that Luka really appreciates that. Sure when you approach him and show him this photo he may be in denial at first, but he will have to remember that it is you. You do not lie to others to hurt them. I have only seen you lie when you have to become Ladybug. Trust me, Luka is going to believe you." Tikki says trying to comfort me.

"That's what I am afraid of Tikki." I say lowly as I sit on my bed and toss my phone away from me as the sweet kwammi looks to me confused. "This is going to end in strong negative emotions. Meaning either one of them could possibly get akumatized. It's just.....ugh, why did Marinette have to do this? She is my childhood best friend, and Luka is a great friend now. I want both of them safe, but I also don't want there to be any secrets like that." I say gesturing to my phone.

"Listen very carefully to me (Y/n). You have a big heart, and that is what people love about you. It is also why people come to you with their problems. Because they know that you will hear them out and try to come up with a solution, even if they do not like it. But this, right here and now, one of them is going to get akumatized without a doubt and there is nothing we can do about it. I know it is hard to see that happen to one of your friends, but you have to remember what Marinette is doing to Luka right now." Tikki says softly as she floats in front of me with a worried look on her face.

All I can do is sigh dejectedly, as I get up and retrieve my phone and tell Luka that I am coming over. To think I am doing this a day after the contest. I wish I did not have to ruin Luka's happiness.

~~~~~Timeskip~~~~

"Hey there (Y/n)! You made it here just in time! Me and Adrien were about to light up your phone texting you to come down here! We are starting to come up with lyrics for a new song and we think it is going to be a hit!" Luka says happily as he drags me onto the boat with a giant smile on his face as Adrien waves around some sheets of paper with a giant smile on his face as we get closer. Oh, why are you making this harder Luka?

"We have like the first part done, but we can not seem to come up with a chorus or anything after that. But for the first part it sounds pretty solid!" Adrien says happily as he stands up and shoves the papers into my hand to show what they have been working on. I wanted to look at them and give my opinion, I really did, but I came here with a mission. And if I do not tell Luka now then that is just using this as an excuse, which I simply can not do. 

"(Y/n)? Are you alright? You seem like you are somewhere else?" Adrien asks me as both him and Luka look to me a bit worried.

"Please don't tell me you ran into that woman on the way here?" Luka asks me, and I know he is referring to my step-mom, which would not be a bad theory for my mood.

"Who?" Adrien asks confused as he looks between the both of us.

"No one you want to meet, or should meet. Trust me on this Adrien. If (Y/n) did not drag me away when I met her, things would have been said. Even if she is an adult." Luka states sternly as Adrien looks to him surprised at his claim while he looks to me for an explanation.

"Uh, no. I did not run into her, and honestly if I did my mood would be worse........but Luka, I need to talk to you alone. Please?" I ask him softly as my pants start to burn from where my phone is located.
