You're The Music That's Been Playing In My Head: Book 2

Luka Chapter Twenty

I approach my sister's school and look around for our friends a few of us were meeting up to go get André's ice cream. I see Nino, Alya, Ivan, and  Mylène sitting on the stairs. "Hey, guys," I wave looking around to see no sign of (y/n) or Marinette. "They haven't arrived yet," Alya informs me with a smirk on her face. I roll my eyes in amusement at the smirk, pretty much their entire class knew how I felt about (y/n). Not that I ever tried to hide it. We wait a few more minutes when Nino gets a text and sighs. "Adrien's dad isn't letting him come," We all show our displeasure from that fact. That poor kid was a prisoner in his own home. (y/n) and Marinette came running up, Alya walking over to greet them soon talking about something excitedly before breaking the news about Adrien as the rest of us approached.

"Don't get upset ok? But Nino just got a text...Adrien's dad isn't letting him go out." "Once again," Mari sadly sighs, (y/n) soon asking "Do we know where André is today?" "The deal with André and his ice cream cart is you never know where he's gonna be. You gotta follow his clues to find out where he's gonna set up," Nino explains, tapping away at his phone to find André. "The first time Mylène and I wanted André's ice cream it took us three hours to find his cart," Ivan laughs as he tells the story, reminding me of the first time (y/n) and I ate André's ice cream.

"Then (y/n) and I got lucky. Back when she did a cover with Jagged Stone I was looking for a place to celebrate her success when I stumbled upon André and got lucky that he decided to stay in that spot for a couple of hours." "Hey someone posted a photo. He's on his way to the Pont des Arts."  We all start cheerfully running towards Pont des Arts and as we got closer we could hear him singing. "My name is André~ André Glacé~ The sweetheart's matchmaker~ With one scoop or two I'll find love for you with magical ice cream flavor~ My name is André~ André Glacé~ The sweetheart's matchmaker~ With one scoop or two I'll find love for you with magical ice cream flavor~" The seven of us get in line for the magical ice cream.

"Bonsoir André," Mylène greets as she and Ivan approach the cart. "Strapping young Ivan and dear sweet Mylène if you aren't still the cutest lovebirds I've seen. Chocolate, praline, and white nougat for you! A special concoction to keep your love true," He hands the ice cream over and addresses Nino and Alya next. "Ah these two I've never seen is this your first time here with me?" They nod and he starts making their ice cream. "Coconut, banana, and a touch of passion fruit," (y/n) and I were up next and this time we got a new ice cream cone. "Luka and (y/n) good to see you again, I see you still aren't together yet. Fear not I have the perfect scoops for you cinnamon bun ice cream, chocolate cookie core with cherry vanilla to help your love bloom soon." We're handed the ice cream cone and move off to the side to let the next person in line get their ice cream. (y/n) hums in delight from the first bite and I dig in, this was really good.

"Hey, Luka there's something I wanted to ask you..." "What's up?" "We've been spending a lot of time together and I can't ignore how I feel anymore s-so...I was w-wondering if you'd..." She trails off with an anxious look, letting me know what she was asking was important so I put my spoon in the ice cream and give her my full attention with a reassuring look, she looks away as she spews out her question. "Like to go out with me?" My heart felt like it set ablaze, almost like it was running a marathon, here I thought I'd have to be the one to ask her out.

I lightly grab her chin to get her to look at me. A whistle catches our attention, stopping me from giving her my answer which was of course yes. It was some guy dressed like Adrien and someone helps bumps into Marinette, causing her to drop her ice cream and she has an encounter with André. "André's ice cream has always melted hearts but the magic will only work if you eat it. I'll make you another one," André gasps, quickly making another cone.

"Thank you but it's really not necessary," Mari says glumly. "Yes, it is my dear. See here? My ice cream has brought everyone together. Every famous loving couple in Paris! Edith and Marcel, John and Serge, even Sabine and Tom. Your loved one is out there somewhere! All you need is to believe in the magic of André's ice cream!" He offers the peach and mint ice cream to Marinette who shakes her head. "You're very nice André but I don't have a loved one." "Who has green eyes? Do you think we know him?" Ivan asks Mylène who bites her bottom lip. "Lay off Ivan there's no one ok? I don't think there's anything magical about your ice cream it's just ice cream," With that, she starts to walk off and Alya motions for all of us to go after Marinette. In the end, we couldn't get Marinette out of her surly mood so we all just went home for the evening, and thanks to the distraction I was never able to let (y/n) know I accept her confession.

"You have fun getting ice cream?" My sister asks as I walk into the living room. "Mostly, things were going great until Marinette got upset and we had to leave but on the bright side (y/n) asked me out," I explain and Juleka's head quickly whips toward me. "W-what? (y/n) asked you out? That's awesome, are you guys a thing now?" She asks excitedly and I shake my head. "Not yet, again Marinette got upset before I could give her my response and we all headed home after she got upset."

Juleka frowns and I give her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry I'll meet up with her tomorrow to seal the deal but first," I put my phone on the charger, it had died on the way back. I sit down to watch tv with Juleka when the news cuts on, warning Parisians to stay indoors because of the latest akumatization. Footage showed a huge ice cream man turning people into ice cream. Our heroes took care of it quickly to reveal it was André Glacé who had been akumatized, worry swelling up quickly for (y/n)'s safety since he was in her neighborhood but died down once I remembered she was safe now. Checking my phone I see it was charged enough to send a text so I send one to (y/n) letting her know she can meet up with me tomorrow and she agrees.

The next day before I head into my class I see (y/n) quickly approaching me. "I'm here!" She pants out, causing me to chuckle. "Glad you made it, I didn't want to keep you from getting an answer to your question. (y/n) I'm so happy that you finally know what you want and there is no way I could say no to you. So yes, I will go out with you," I say while cupping her face, kissing the top of her head before heading into class. I felt like I could do anything now that I have the most amazing girl in Paris as my girlfriend.
