Adrien got to the cafe first and took a seat in the corner, he made sure not to bring anyone even though (Y/N) said it was fine. They had sounded upset over the phone and he didn't want to add any more to their plate. He scrolled through his phone while he waited, subconsciously staring at the clock as time passed. He jumped when he heard thunder crack through the sky, worried about (Y/N) being caught in the rain. 

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw (Y/N) walk into the cafe, making a beeline for the table. He noticed how rough they looked, they were downright shivering as a mix of rain and tears covered their face. 

"(Y/N)?" he said, trailing off as he shrugged his jacket off and took (Y/N)'s jacket, replacing it with his so they wouldn't freeze. His biggest fear was their emotional high causing them to get akumatized, but he tried to stay calm as he got up to get (Y/N) their drink. He waited in line restlessly, constantly glancing at (Y/N) to make sure they were okay. He came back and placed their cup in front of them "Do you want to talk about it?" Adrien said with a small, comforting smile "I'm also decent at distractions if you don't want to think about whatever happened anymore." he talked, keeping an eye on (Y/N)'s face as he watched the water fall from their hair onto the table. 

(Y/N) cleared their throat, finally looking up at Adrien and giving him an embarrassed smile "I should probably talk about it, I was really irrational."

"Were you though?" he asked, he was only friends with (Y/N) for a short while but he knew them well enough to understand that they had a tendency to beat themselves up. He leaned back in his chair, raising his hands slightly "I don't know what happened but I like to think I know you pretty well. So what's wrong?" he asked, making sure to keep his voice low and gentle like he wished his father would with him when he was upset. 

(Y/N) chuckled, "How much time do you have?"

Adrien's face fell to a frown, his worry only growing in intensity as he rested his hand over (Y/N)'s "As much time as you need," he'd blow off his father if he had to.

(Y/N) had been talking for a solid hour by the time they finally stopped, looking at Adrien with a worried gaze, thinking they talked too much and dumped too much on him as Adrien sat in silence. Adrien had taken care of them so much today and paid for their drinks despite (Y/N) saying they would. This friendship was already too much taking on their end and too much giving on Adrien's. "I'm sorry- I know it's a lot to process and probably more than you signed up for. Friends shouldn't-"

"Oh don't apologize," Adrien said, visibly surprised "if you ask me this is what I always thoughts friends were for. They're a support system, right?" he paused, waiting for (Y/N) to nod before continuing "I do think Luka and the gang could have gone about it much better than they did, but they would never do anything to hurt you on purpose, right?"

"I guess, I know they had good intentions," (Y/N) said, blowing hair out of their face "I just wish they asked me or told me or just- I wish they didn't keep something that so obviously had to do with me away from me, you know? I hate secrets, they only complicate things and stress people out."

Adrien smirked, laughing to himself about something before turning his attention back to (Y/N) as the storm raged outside. "You're obviously allowed to be upset, I'd probably be fuming if I were in your shoes. But you should clear the air before you decide what you're gonna do from there." he paused, clearly thinking about something "If I know Luka at all he's probably panicking about where you went," he gestured to the window and the storm raging outside "especially with the storm. If you want I can come with just in case things don't go well."

(Y/N) nodded, smiling weakly as they got up "Thanks, my driver left me at Luka's and went home so I kind of walked here."

"You walked?" Adrien said, surprised at the protective and worried ache in his chest "In that?" he pointed outside as he got up, grabbing his umbrella "Without an umbrella?"

(Y/N) nodded, looking down sheepishly while Adrien walked them to the door 

"We'll take my car," Adrien said, opening the umbrella and helping (Y/N) inside. Adrien shot a pleading look at his driver while (Y/N) settled in "I'll be on time for everything for the next month if you take us to Luka's and let us stay as long as we need to. It's an emergency."

The hulky driver just nodded, wordlessly turning on the hear just as (Y/N) started shivering again. Adrien looked anxiously out the window, already worrying about how this could end in someone getting akumatized.

"Luka you cannot go out in that weather," Juleka said, looking defeated as Luka darted around his room grabbing his jacket and lacing his boots "You could get hurt. What if you don't even find (Y/N?"

"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't even try," Luka said, his voice cracking as he fought back the emotions threatening to spill over. He felt awful for doing it, he felt awful for not telling (Y/N), if he could take back the last hour he would do it in heartbeat. He hated the thought of (Y/N) out in the rain stuck because their driver left. "They could be stuck out there in the pouring rain. They could get sick."

"Luka I love you but you have to calm down, you won't be able to do anything productive if you're panicking." Before Juleka could continue talking, the sound of a car pulling up halted everything as Luka bolted to the window to see who it was. He didn't recognize the car but he recognized the blonde hair- What was Adrien doing here?

He froze when he saw Adrien help (Y/N) out of the car, they looked like they had been crying and Luka felt his already fragile heart shatter at the sight. They must have held back their crying until after they left, the thought being enough to coax a sob from Luka's throat as he rushed to get on deck. He was supposed to be the one (Y/N) came to when they were upset, not the one they ran away from. Before he knew it he was running down the deck to meet them, shooting a look at Adrien before rushing them below deck as fast humanly possible, not caring about his clothes soaking through until everyone was inside. 

He took a deep breath, scanning their body for any sign of injuries just in case "(Y/N), I-"

"Can we talk alone?" (Y/N) asked, sending a shock of fear down Luka's face as he looked at Adrien who was patiently standing behind (Y/N). He barely managed a nod, taking their hand gently and leading them to his room, and closing the door. His arms were immediately around them, apologizing and crying until his throat hurt.

"Luka," (Y/N) said, rubbing his back gently, their voice much lighter than he had anticipated "honey, I need you to look at me," they said, slowly pulling away and coaxing Luka's face to look at theirs. "I'm not upset at what you did, I think deep down I thought something was up too but I didn't want to admit it because that means someone- someone killed my parents," (Y/N) said, their voice catching in their throat as they ran a hand through their hair "I'm upset that you decided to look into something so personal and then not tell me about it. It's the communication thing."

Luka nodded, listening to every single word. He was shocked (Y/N) didn't come back just to break up with him but he was so relieved he had to fight the urge to kiss them right then and there. "Love, I promise I will tell you everything from now on. I don't know why we didn't tell we just thought you weren't mentally ready to talk about it yet and we wanted solid evidence before we came to you and flipped an already traumatic thing on its head."

"I know," (Y/N) said with a small smile, "Adrien said he didn't think you guys meant to hurt me."

"Yeah," Luka said with a smile, mentally high-fiving Adrien for helping (Y/N) when he couldn't but being jealous that Adrien of all people was the first person (Y/N) called "About Adrien, I know you guys are all buddy-buddy but uh- do you think he'd want to hang out as a group? I know everything with Marinette made things messy but if he's important to you I want to know him better, too."

(Y/N) smiled, pressing a gentle kiss to Luka's lips. Luka melted into their kisses, running off of the joy knowing they were going to be okay. He didn't know what he said to get a kiss after all of that but he was happy he said it. He tried not to whine when (Y/N) pulled away "I'm glad you think so because I maybe kind of invited him to your next concert. We'll be backstage and stuff and his friend Nino is really good with sound stuff I figured if things go well with Adrien we could get him in the mix-" Luka loved watching (Y/N) talk, they threw themselves into everything they did with so much passion and worked so hard to make things better. Luka decided right then and there if things worked out by the time they were adults he wanted to marry (Y/N) and the thought was enough for him to kiss them again, a kiss (Y/N) happily returned. 

"What was that for?"

"Just because I love you,"
