What is love
Many people ask this question but not many have found a correct or clear-cut answer
That's because too many there is no clear cut answer to love
It comes in many variants, words, and all around culture different ways to express them
No one's love is clear-cut or binary
And no one should have to hide their love in any way
But we must be mindful about how we express our love
Because for every positive thing in life
There will always be something negative
That's how balance works
Whether we like it or not
Luka finished as he looked up to his classmates sitting near him was Zoe Lee and Marc Anciel two very close people of his as they were the first ones to come up to him and ask to be friends, nearby was Kagami and Felix they were the ones who… let's just say keep him balanced in different ways…and right in front of them was their literature teacher for the period Miss bustier their homeroom teacher Miss mendalaya was also listening as both classes came together for a poetry reading
Love was something many people in Paris struggle to find and express well for others it just came in different ways
"That's what I wanted to discuss for this poem the different types of love, whether it's the lgbtq relationships and community itself, or the different types of love spanning from the Greek gods themselves, love comes in many different forms so maybe we could write our poems around that" he made a suggestion
Only those who knew him really well could tell when he was nervous… from the slight twitches in his eyes to the shakiness of his hands and the fact that he's not making eye contact with anyone the boy might be cool and collected on the outside but deep down he was freaking out
"That sounds like a wonderful idea" the bright redhead teacher exclaimed smiling ecstatically "but maybe we should focus on not just the positives but the negatives of love as well" she expressed looking around the class
After their reading was done all the students gathered in groups before the teachers walked out of the classroom since this was a club activity everyone was allowed to choose their partners or just do it alone
"So what findings of love should we talk about" Alix the resident AroAce of their group came about she looked over at Luka who had already started writing things down
Agape: Love for one's fellow humans
Philia: Love for one's friends
Storage: Love for your family
Eros: Love one feels for their partner
Everyone looked over at Luka's journal and was quite amazed everyone knew one of the reasons why Marc and him became friends was because they both had very unique writing, one's a script writer and the others a lyric writer, while the artist of their friend group is a sheet writer
But this was on a whole nother level
"Why don't we just do that ask Luka to write down different ideas and we write down ideas about how to express that for our next project then for our next club meeting we'll exchange ideas" Felix looked over at his cousin who suggested this idea
All the while the young cat boy was just staring at the Young musician, smiling as he did so
It's no secret Adrian's bi, at least everyone else, but the poor kid doesn't realize that everyone else knows he's bi from his perspective he thinks he's hitting it so well (you lovable idiot)
Luka looked up at everyone and silently agreed before going back to writing when he's on a roll you can't pull him away from his journal
Everyone just smiled as they began to work together choosing who was going to work with who the comic Duo had already made their decision
"No fair you guys always work with my brother for stuff like this" The Goth tiger exclaimed kind of annoyed by how much time the comic dou have been taking away from the leader of kitty section
Well Kitty section didn't mind Luka working with other people he was getting kind of consistent how much those two clung to him
"Don't worry we're not doing anything crazy, we're just working on an assignment, Luka never seems to have a problem with it" Nathaniel teased before looking back at the young girl
"I mean after all this gives you more time to spend with your girlfriend… doesn't it Jules" he smiled knowing exactly what he is doing before leaving with his boyfriend and good friend
Everyone just stood there a little shocked, ever since Nathaniel started spending time around Luka his confidence has gone up a bit but that's not really a bad thing.
Marinette's happy that her cousin and her friend have been making such a good influence on Nath, at least she thinks her cousin is helping him grow in confidences but if you were to ask him…he would say otherwise
"So same time tomorrow I get to prove check your comic right" the Young musician looked up at the two boys who blushed at the idea
This was one of the reasons why they hung out…Luka's original music has such a good impact on the two when they make comics
Normally the two boys will be perfectly fine with doing this but recently they've been acting a bit more distant even towards him
Nathaniel is the first one to respond with the nervous glance before Marc finally opens his mouth
"Actually I don't mind you proofreading but can you do it at your house, I promised a friend I talked to him online" he said blushing a bit nervous
"Oh you're still keeping in contact with that guy that's great" Nathaniel smiled at his boyfriend brushing his hair from his face
"That's right you don't need to be so nervous about that it's okay if you guys don't want me to proofread them at your house we can always schedule another day" Luka said trying to be supportive
"What about you, Sapphire any luck with this cCrafter27 person" Marc asked looking back at his boyfriend who also found a friend online
"We're still getting to know each other they like arts and crafts stuff, but nothing too crazy rainbow" he responded back to his boyfriend before they both gave each other kiss
Luka thinks the relationship is quite adorable especially the sweet nicknames they give each other
"You guys met these people through online video games right, be careful you never know what creeps are on there" he warned the two placing a comforting hand on both of their shoulders he doesn't know why but he felt like somebody was following them
"As for me in case you were curious puPpeeteEr77 seems to be a relatively normal person they love flowers, and makeup" Marc said smiling
The three boys continue to talk about the friends the comic Duo had made online never noticing a person right behind them in a black hood… conveniently going down the same street as them
Luka dropped the two boys off at their homes before heading back to Liberty…but he couldn't shake this nervous feeling he had
"Is something the matter master" a sweet yet slithering like voice called out to him he looks down into his jacket pocket to see his dear kwami looking up at him with a worried expression
"No no everything's fine sass, I'm just a little nervous" he said it was quite clear to the snake kwami why he was nervous
"it's quite sweet of you to be worried about those two but there's no need to be so all the time, it's unhealthy for you to constantly put so much energy into being worried, besides Ziggy and Orriko will take good care of them you know that better than anyone" the wise kwami reminded him
Sass thought the reason why he was so nervous was because the boys had miraculous is permanently and nobody knew that except him but that's not the real reason why he's nervous
*I know why he's saying this but I just can't shake the feeling that someone or something was watching me…if she still active then I have to be careful* he thought to himself before walking into his room being greeted by an adorable purple blur
"Calm down Nooroo, I'm home don't worry no one followed me, I don't think there's any need for me to do a night patrol besides I have too much homework to catch up on" he said reassuring the dear butterfly kwami who felt his emotions way before he even got home
the young magic learner reassured himself before getting back to a studies just not the kind you would think for a normal kid…he buried himself in his work trying to calm himself down, that maybe he was just imagining things,
…oh boy if only he knew just how right he was to be worried
Meanwhile
The dear comic Duo had finally entered their homes with mixed reactions
"you're home that's great how was your poetry session"
"oh you're home that's good to hear"
"it was so much fun Nath and I were thinking about using what we learned for our next comic"
"Honey don't you think we should ask him about his poetry session"
"there's no need to if you're not interested I just want to go to my room"
"if you ever need help for your next script you know where to find us"
"hey if you need any pointers for your next comic you know where to find us"
Despite both boys smiling at their parents only one of them was legit the other just rolled their eyes when they weren't looking
"hey are you two going out again"
"what's with this letter are you two going out"
"it's an emergency meeting we need to go so we won't be here tonight but dinners already made"
"sorry it was a last minute thing an emergency meeting apparently so, but don't worry if you want to invite Nath over you can and dinners already made"
Both mothers responded to their sons but only one of them knew that she cared the other one on the other hand wasn't all that worried she knew her son was responsible to take care of himself while the son himself was happy that they were leaving
As both boys left to go to their rooms they heard one last thing for their parents before they left for the night as they communicated on the phone
"I'm happy to know that Marc having fun not just with the scripts but that game he's been telling me about I guess there's no need for me to worry mother's instincts you know"
"you have every reason to worry I don't know how you're okay with your son bearing his time in this game the only reason why I don't bring it up is because your son's playing it as well I swear you're too much of a free spirit"
Unbeknownst to both of the boys these mothers know each other and while they know that their sons are playing online games they don't know what these games entail…or even the people they've met because of these games
Both boys logged in and started playing despite it being the same game they were playing different roles
Sun heart: a boy with dark hair and beautiful gem like eyes Green many people say, his smile was as bright as the sun itself, his armor reflected this as despite his dark hair it was gorgeously yellow, with suns on the shoulder armor
Role: Fighter Knight- this role allows him to get up close and personal with those he fights but that means he struggles a lot in Long distance combat, but he doesn't mind it allows him to be as brutal as he wants to be, and have a lot of cool weapons that makes him even more flamboyant than he already is
Rain piercer: a boy with beautiful Sunset like hair an amazing blue eyes, he doesn't smile as much unless he's around his partner the sun of his life, almost as if he brings the rain with him wherever he goes, many mistakes the raindrops on his armor for teardrops
Role: Protector Knight- more on the defensive side he'll protect those he cares about with all his might, as he doesn't like fighting all that much this gives him a chance to stick by the side of the one he chooses, protecting them as much as possible, he prefers to blend in with the shadows as he thinks it's cooler that way
Recently these two have gotten new members to their party the two new friends that they have met online and surprisingly they get along really well.
After another successful raid, the boys decide to go into private chats with the new members of their party individually of course
☀️🧡 & puPpeeteEr77
That was so much fun, your Magic's gotten a lot stronger
what can I say I like this game a lot I wanted to be more helpful to the party you know
I knew it you leveled up off screen didn't you
Hey can you blame me someone's got to be there when our darling rain piercer can't be
I didn't know you were so protective, that's almost as impressive as your fashion
what do you mean by that
Come on don't think I didn't notice that amazing outfit your character was wearing it's so cute
I didn't know you liked that kind of stuff what kind of outfits do you prefer wearing
Don't make fun okay it's a bit embarrassing talking about it
I swear on my melodic Crystal not to tell anyone unless you say so
Well you see the thing is I like wearing… cutesy clothes
Seriously… I'm not saying to judge or anything I like giving advice on that kind of stuff
Really do you have any advice now you know my boyfriend and I we're going on a date soon and I really want to impress him or something a bit more on the cuter side you know something dressy
I have a few ideas
The young Sun would listen to the advice of his good friend not knowing the… disturbing motives behind it
You're just like your character you're as wise as an actual sorcerer
Why that's too sweet of you
💧 Piercer & cCrafter27
I got to say your gems really saved us
You really thinks so, being a gem mage is quite limiting
That may be but the gemstones you gave us really saved our hides
oh that's nice to know that our brooding rain finally lighten up the
Oh Hahaha very funny, but seriously though it was really fun playing with you again
it was nice playing with you too although I have to ask do you have any idea what you want to do for your boyfriend
You mean for our date, I have a few ideas on gifts I just don't know what I want to wear
well what kind of stuff are you into
I don't know just things don't allow me to show that I can protect my boyfriend
that's cute I know how that feels I have a friend of mine that I want to protect he's quite dens
Well what do you think I should wear
the gem mage wears creepy smile as he starts giving him some advice…one of happiness yet not in a good way
This stuff is so cool, I really like the style
Thanks this is the kind of stuff I'm into I'm glad you like it
As both conversations continue the boys were then asked questions normal friend questions…if you want to call them that
do you have a social media I'd love to be able to follow you
Maybe did you try getting your boyfriend something cute/cool as a gift
If you ever need more advice you know where to find me I'll always be here for you man
Who knows maybe you can give me some advice on relationships one day
Has all four boys logged off the resident artist and Rain itself decided to head to a boyfriend's home after all the rain can't stay away from the sunshine for too long can he
Two lovers embraced and gave each other lovely kisses as they went inside the sun beautiful home, this allowed though to not have to worry about the things going on outside
- No parents wanting you to stop doing comics
- No overprotective parents
- No over worrying friends
- The most importantly of all no creepy exes
But of course it's not like the two boys know that fact, after all some things are best buried in the past especially if they've left a traumatic scar on you
That's what the two boys keep telling themselves
*Marc/Nath, I promise my prince I'll protect you no matter what, I won't let Them get anywhere near you."
"I guess they were right about one thing… though you have to protect the ones you love right"
"hey did you hear my Emerald he sounded even more adorable than usual right"
"as much as I hate to admit it yes the little Emerald definitely sounded more enchanting than normal"
"you don't hate to admit it or do you want me to say I hate to admit that you're precious doll was actually quite lovely"
"now I know for a fact that you don't hate to admit that my little doll is always lovely but the fact that you say it out loud is quite nice"
"so little sorcerer we're still on with the deal"
"If it means having the Little Angel by our sides then yes I'm all for it, but what about you Mage, for your gemstones be able to hold out just a little longer"
"if it means being able to protect our lapis then I'll do whatever it takes"
"I promise to do whatever it takes to protect them, no one will corrupt our Jeweled of angels again…will protector and make sure no one harms them…for their sakes…and for ours"
