Work Text:
Rose had been waiting for almost twenty minutes for Juleka to arrive for their date. It was their seventh anniversary, and both of them had been planning for this for weeks! What was going on?
It was probably some trouble with the weather - it was pouring buckets outside. Hopefully, she hadn’t gotten sick or crashed or anything-
The door to the restaurant opened. “H-Hi, Rose…”
The fashionable outfit Juleka wore was drenched from head to toe. She looked for all intents and purposes like a very wet cat, which was a funny comparison given her Miraculous.
Rose knew that her girlfriend didn’t mind getting gross, given her job as an embalmer, so why did she look so down in the dumps?
“You okay, Juju?”
“No… I borrowed Luka’s bike today, and it broke down on the way here. Then it started raining, and I got splashed by some passerby cars on the walk here. I’m freezing, I’m wet, I smell like mud, and you’re probably not happy with me for showing up like this…”
“Oh, Juju…” Rose shook her head. “I’m just glad you’re okay.”
“But-”
“No buts!” Rose assured her. “We’re gonna wait here and let you dry off, then we’re going to have a nice night. I’ll drive you home after… ooh! Or you could stay the night with me. How does that sound?”
At last, her girlfriend smiled again. “I love that plan.”
