CHAPTER THIRTY THREE:

Weeks had passed since Luka's injuries, and (Y/N) had been a constant source of support and comfort during his recovery.

They spent time together, practicing their roles for the upcoming play, and sharing moments of laughter and companionship.

Despite Su-Han's healing, Luka's emotional wounds still lingered, but (Y/N) remained by his side, offering unwavering support.

On a windy afternoon, (Y/N) was surprised to see Zoé, who had finally regained enough stability to venture outside the hotel.

Accompanied by Jean Armand, the butler, Zoé arrived to watch (Y/N) and Luka rehearse their play.

"(Y/N)!" Zoé exclaimed, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "I couldn't stay cooped up in that room any longer. Jean here insisted on accompanying me, just to make sure I don't overexert myself. Can you believe it?"

(Y/N) smiled warmly, genuinely glad to see her best friend out and about. "Zoé, I'm so relieved to see you up and about. But seriously, you should have stayed in bed- I probably should've tied you or something."

Zoé rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh, come on, (Y/N). Tying me to the bed is a bit excessive, don't you think? I can take care of myself. Besides, who's going to keep you entertained if I'm stuck in that room?"

Luka joined the conversation, his voice filled with genuine concern. "It's great to see you, Zoé. I'm glad you're doing better."

Zoé nodded, her expression softening. "Thanks, Luka. I'm slowly getting back on my feet. But enough about me. Have you guys made any progress with the play?"

(Y/N) grinned, excited to showcase their hard work. "We'd love to show you a scene, Zoé. It's the perfect opportunity for you to see how far we've come."

Zoé clapped her hands together, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I can't wait! Show me what you've got!"

As (Y/N) and Luka immersed themselves in the scene on stage, their chemistry and talent shone through.

They delivered their lines with precision, capturing the emotions of their characters flawlessly. Zoé couldn't help but be in awe of their performance, her eyes wide with amazement.

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed as Luka pulled (Y/N) close, their faces inches apart. The tension in the air was palpable as Luka leaned in slowly, his lips moving closer to hers.

But before their lips could meet, (Y/N) abruptly pulled away, surprising both Luka and Zoé.

"We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
And this is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?"

Without missing a beat, (Y/N) started singing, her voice filling the auditorium with a captivating melody.

"Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my
Lover."

Luka watched in awe as (Y/N) took control of the stage, her voice resonating deep within his heart.

"We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all."

Her performance was mesmerizing, and he couldn't help but blush at the raw talent and beauty before him.

"Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my
Lover."

As (Y/N) finished her song, the auditorium erupted in applause, with Zoé cheering profusely.

Luka joined in, clapping enthusiastically, his admiration evident on his face. "That was incredible, (Y/N). It's been so long since I last heard you sing."

Zoé beamed with excitement, her voice filled with admiration. "You both looked incredible on stage! The chemistry between you two is undeniable. This play is going to be a huge success!"

(Y/N) and Luka exchanged glances, their faces flushed with a mixture of accomplishment and joy.

They had poured their hearts into their performance, and to receive such praise from their friends was a rewarding moment.

"Thank you, Zoé," (Y/N) said, her voice filled with gratitude. "Your support means the world to me, you goofball."

Luka nodded, his eyes locked with (Y/N)'s. "You're right, Zoé. This journey has been incredible, and (Y/N) has been an amazing partner."

Zoé continued to cheer and offer words of encouragement, her excitement contagious.

In that moment, the trio basked in the joy and camaraderie, knowing that their hard work and passion were leading them to a successful performance.

As the evening descended, Zoé had to leave early to take her medicine, bidding farewell to (Y/N) and Luka.

(Y/N) gathered her belongings inside the auditorium, preparing to head home, when Luka approached her with a gentle smile.

"Hey, (Y/N), would you like to walk home together?" Luka asked, his voice soft and inviting.

(Y/N) felt a rush of warmth and nodded eagerly. "Of course, Luka. I'm down!"

She quickly sent a text to her bodyguard, Fernando, letting him know she was going to walk home.

Fernando, true to his usual banter, replied with a teasing message, calling her "Butt-face" and sending a like emoji. (Y/N) rolled her eyes at her phone, accustomed to Fernando's playful nature.

With her things in order, (Y/N) and Luka exited the school, embarking on their walk home.

The atmosphere was quiet at first, the sounds of their footsteps breaking the silence.

But then Luka broke the silence, his voice filled with sincerity.

"(Y/N)- I want to apologize to you." Luka began, his eyes reflecting a mix of remorse and earnestness.

Confusion washed over (Y/N)'s face as she replied, "Luka, there's nothing for you to apologize for. Why are you saying sorry?"

Luka took a deep breath, his voice tinged with regret.

"I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry that you always get involved in Miraculous drama because of me.
I'm sorry that you have to protect me. I'm sorry for relying on you so much. And I'm sorry for falling in love with you and getting annoyed whenever you say we're just friends."

(Y/N)'s eyes widened in surprise, her heart skipping a beat. "Wait, what? Come again?"

Lover: Taylor Swift.
