Skip Day - Present Day!Luke Patterson

Request- so to me, Luke look like never a big fan of school. So can you do one please where he forgets to finish a report worth half semester grade and fakes sick to stay home and finish it....”

This is one is short, but cute. I made it present day because it just came naturally to me! Thank you so much for this request! Also, lil bit of reader involvement in the end :)

Emily ran over to his bed, thermometer in hand. Luke pulled out the perfect pout as she rushed to his side, swiping her hand through his hair. She told the boy she didn’t feel a fever coming on, but with the way his hand held his stomach and those big sad eyes, she had rushed into overprotective mom mode in seconds.

“Open your mouth Luke,” She said, sticking the instrument under his tongue. 

As she sprinted to the bathroom to wet a washcloth, Luke took that moment to stick the device underneath his arm. He had seen the armpit trick work in a movie once, and he had done several jumping jacks before his mother had walked into his bedroom, so he hoped that the heat would do the trick.

As he heard the sink turn off and the turn of his mom’s heels, he stuck the thermometer back in his mouth and hoped for the best. His mom set the cool rag on his forehead as she ran a hand up and down his arm. When the device finally beeped, she grabbed it from him and read it with a sigh.

“100.8,” She said, her eyes narrowing at him. “Looks like you’re staying home today baby.” 

He tried to hide the elation that sprung from his body as she announced the results of his work, but a small smirk perked up when his mom’s eyes temporarily left his to put the tool back into the first aid kit. She turned back over to him with a soft smile. 

“Are you okay being home alone?” She asked, and Luke nodded quickly. She nodded back at him, touching his forehead with her hand one more time. “I have a can of soup in the cabinet if you get hungry, and text me if you need me.” 

She leaned in to give him a quick hug, squeezing his shoulders as she rose back up to a seated position.

“I hope you feel better soon, Lu.” 

Hearing his nickname made him feel a sense of anxiety and a smidge of guilt, but those feelings wiped away when he remembered why he put on this act. His English midterm. He hadn’t written more than a page of his final paper that was due today at 11:30. This assignment was worth 50% of his overall grade and he couldn’t explain away it’s significance. 

He smiled at her, sending a quick nod her way. She stood up from the bed and walked toward the door. As soon as he heard the clasp shut, he sprung out of his bed and over to his desk. He pulled out his laptop and pulled up the word document he started last night. 

“I’ll definitely be better after I ace this paper, momma.” He said to himself, chuckling as he cracked his knuckles.

He quickly typed on the word document, writing frantically against the clock. After a few paragraphs, he stopped and his hand moved to a drawer on the lower left hand side. He pulled out the gummies that Reggie had bought him the day before, and a soda that he had stashed several days ago and placed them both next to his computer. 

After he had finished a few pages, his phone went off. He picked it up and saw her name across the screen. 

Baby: “Did you really skip. Luke Patterson, you are unbelievable.”

Closely followed by another text. 

Baby: “I’ll see you at 2.”

He smirked at her quick change of tone before pressing the device back to the wood. He cracked open the orange soda and guzzled down a few sips, grabbing a peach ring and shoving it in his mouth before he started typing again. 

As the sun hit a mid point in the sky, Luke finally let his back relax against the chair. Somehow he did it. He had finished a 6 page paper in less than 5 hours. He shook out his wrists as he scrolled through the pages for spelling and grammatical errors. It definitely wasn’t his best work, but he had something that would stop him from immediately failing Ms. Johnson’s 3rd period class. 

He stood up from his chair, reaching his arms left to right to stretch out his sides. He turned back to his bed and flopped down on his stomach with a smile. He curled himself back up to the top, crawling under the covers before closing his eyes. 

His peaceful sleep was interrupted by loud knocking on his door. Luke’s eyes opened wide as he turned toward the open frame. There she sat with a smart grin on her face, hand on her hip. She moved over toward him and sat down on the soft blue comforter. 

“You’re impossible.” She started, reaching under the blanket to grab his hand. “You know, Johnson actually seemed worried about you today. You must have really convinced your mom that you were ill.”

He let his thumb run across hers as he gazed at her. “Mom didn’t even put up a fight this morning,” His smile growing larger as he spoke. “I think I should become an actor.” 

She rolled her eyes, leaning back to lay next to him on the bed. She turned her head to meet his eyes again and let out a soft chuckle. 

“A comedian too?” 

He narrowed his eyes at her before laughing with her. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles lightly. 

“Oh hush, you know you love me.”

“That I do,” She said cooly, leaning in and pressing her lips to his.

Cosplay

Day 22 is doneeee!! And it’s finally a full identity reveal haha. I hope you guys liked this lil chapter <3. Now I need to find another way to stay up for the episode later tonight haha. Feel free to rant with me about it if you’re also up :)

AO3

“Hello there, my purrince.” Marinette purred as soon as he poked his head down her trapdoor. Chat’s mouth fell wide open once he saw her and he tumbled ungracefully down onto her bed. Her cute giggle filled his ears and he immediately sat straight up, unable to keep his eyes from roving up and down her outfit.

She was in a costume that looked almost exactly like his. The only main difference was that her accents were blue, matching with the deep, sapphire blue of her eyes. Her hair was also different, wrapped up in a braid instead of her usual pigtails. His heart thumped loudly in his chest as he attempted to give her a weak smile, feeling slightly woozy. 

A smirk lit up Marinette’s face as she gazed up at him with a look of pure mischief. “Are you checking meowt, kitty?”

Instantly, Chat cleared his throat, his cheeks tinged a light pink. Trying to shake off his embarrassment, he slid his own Cheshire cat smile onto his face, making his way down her ladder to stand next to her. He then bowed, swiping her hand up in his as he brushed a gentle kiss on it. “I was indeed my purrincess. You look pawsitively furtastic tonight.”

Marinette giggled even as a blush spread across her face. She snatched her hand back quickly, though, pushing his nose away as a brush of familiarity swept through him. Where had he experienced that before? Blinking as he tried to recall an old memory, he almost missed her speech.

“Thank you, my purrince. I made it for a convention I’m going to later. I’m glad you like it.” She beamed at him, causing his heart to flutter in his chest.

Chat shook his head once quickly, trying to brush away the odd feeling. Focusing on her words, he gave her a proud smile. “You made that yourself? Marinette, it’s pawsitively amazing. And, I must say, you play the part purrfectly. Where were you hiding all these puns?” He shot her a quick wink. 

“What can I say... I learned from the best,” Marinette said, leaning in to flick his bell as her smirk widened. 

He gulped quietly, his eyes glancing down to stare at her lips once unthinkingly. It would be so easy to just... No, what was he thinking!? Marinette was one of his best friends. He couldn’t be thinking about her like that. It must be because of the costume. She was acting a little too much like Ladynoire. Hang on...

A small frown furrowed between his brows as he stared down at her. After a few moments of silence, her smirk froze on her face and she tilted her head at him in confusion. “Kitty, is something wrong? You look worried.”

Chat’s frown deepened as that brush of familiarity hit him once again. It felt like he was on the verge of making a giant discovery but he just couldn’t connect the final dots. After a few more moments of awkward silence, he shook his head once forcefully. Giving her a small smile, he said, “Sorry, purrincess... I got lost in thought for a bit there.”

Marinette threw her head back in a laugh before she nudged his shoulder lightly. “Got a little distracted by my costume then, huh, my purrince?”

She really needed to stop calling him that. Especially with how familiar the nickname seemed to be coming from her lips. Trying to calm his once again racing heartbeat, Chat answered, “Purrhaps I did. It does look rather amazing on you after all.”

She flushed again before giving him a proud smile, flicking her hair as she preened in front of him. “I must admit I like being Chat Noir. I wonder if I’d be able to cataclysm as well as you too.”

Once again he frowned, watching the braid swing behind her lightly. It was all so familiar. The words. The puns. The hair. The outfit. Could it really be true...?

Shifting lightly, Chat eventually murmured, “I think you’d be pawsitively brilliant at everything, M’Ladynoire.”

He stiffened once briefly as he searched her eyes for some sign of familiarity. If she didn’t respond, he’d just laugh it off and race home an embarrassed mess. But... if it was true, he’d have a hard time ever letting her go again.

Marinette simply giggled, tapping his nose playfully as she said, “How sweet of you, Bugaboy.”

They both seemed to recognize what exactly she just said at the same time, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets. Immediately, Marinette tried to backtrack, waving her hands in the air as she rushed out, “I-I mean, my purrince. Bugaboy doesn’t make any sense because, well, you’re a cat... not a bug.” She chuckled nervously, tapping her index fingers together as her gaze refused to land on him. 

Meanwhile, Chat was over the moon. He was right all along. Marinette and his lady were one and the same. There was just one problem... how on earth was he meant to woo her now? If Ladybug was out of his league, then Marinette was even more so. But now wasn’t the time to think about that. His lady was waiting for him to say something.

Unable to stop the wide smile from stretching across his face, Chat said, “Can’t I be your purrince and your Bugaboy at the same time. After all, they are both me, right m’lady?”

Marinette clenched her eyes shut once before burying her head in her hands. “This cosplay was silly anyway. I never should have dressed up as you. You know we’re not supposed to know who the other is.”

“Hey, hey,” he immediately reached out, pulling her hands away from her face as he squeezed them gently. “This isn’t your fault, all right? We were bound to figure it out at some point. Besides, now that you’re the guardian you should have someone you trust to watch your back.”

Her gaze softened before she slowly nodded her head. “Thanks, mon Chaton.”

Chat’s heart tripped in his chest as butterflies roared to life in his stomach. Giving her a small smile, he then nodded down at his ring. “Would you like to know...?”

Marinette’s mouth fell open as she recognized what he was asking. Then she snapped it closed, gnawing on her lower lip as she gazed up at him. “I-I really shouldn’t...”

“You can trust me,” he squeezed her hands again. “Purromise. I’ll make certain that nothing bad happens, Marinette.”

After a few moments where he eagerly awaited her response, she eventually nodded her head. “Alright, kitty, I trust you. And, it’s only fair if we both know who the other is.”

Sucking in a deep breath of courage, Chat called off his transformation, “Plagg, claws in.”

In a flash of green light, he stood before her as Adrien, their fingers still entwined together. Giving her a shy, crooked smile, he asked, “Is this okay?”

Marinette gasped, yanking one of her hands from his grasp to slap it onto her agape mouth. He was stunned into silence and, after what seemed like hours, she eventually pointed a shaky finger at him. “Y-you can’t be...”

Wincing slightly at her reaction, he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I-I’m sorry, Mar-”

Before he could finish his next words, she had already wrapped him up in a tight hug. She squeezed him to her almost desperately and Adrien instantly found himself holding onto her just as tightly. 

He then just barely managed to catch her murmur into his shoulder, “So much... so much makes sense now.”

“Yeah?” he chuckled, looking down at the top of her head fondly. “I feel the same.”

Marinette pulled back to send him a bright beam as she spoke happily, “I love you too, kitty. I’m sorry it took me so long but I was so distracted by-”

This time, he cut her off. Except he did it by crashing their lips together. Shivers racing down his spine at her confession of love. Could he really be this lucky? Marinette squeaked once lightly before sinking into his embrace, running her fingers through his hair as Adrien deepened their kiss. He really was lucky. He had managed to find his lady and somehow woo her all at the same time. Everything was just perfect.

Li Xikan — “it’s you!”

this is a lil’ something i wrote in one of my short breaks from studying for xikan's birthday!! i would have loved to write something longer like my previous chengcheng scenario (shameless spam, pls check it out) but this is all i can do for now rip and i had to write it before i lost the inspiration. this is a cute enemies-to-loves au!! based on my love-hate towards xikan. hope you guys will like it! (also it’s kind of a high school au too rip i’m sorry i’m so soft for high school aus i need a lot lot lot of them and i love writing them)

Happy Birthday to the wonderful and talented Li Xikan ♥

Word Count: 2k+ (2.222 omg lmao)

Hearing his voice getting closer as he talked to his friends was enough to make you sigh. As you opened your locker to get out a textbook for your first class of the day, you prepared yourself mentally for his usual ‘greeting’ and to just ignore him. And just as you were expecting, when he passed by you, still talking to his friends, he said hi in the same way he had been using for quite some time now.

—“Wow (Y/N), you get uglier with each passing day, you never cease to surprise me!” —He said and then laughed by himself.

—”As nice as usual. Thanks for your considerate compliment, Li Xikan.” —You whispered in return, even though you didn’t really want to say anything. It just slipped out. A sarcastic remark that he probably didn’t even hear as he walked away and to his first class, which was unfortunately the same one as yours.

After this, you wouldn’t have to see him until the last class of the day. If you were lucky, you wouldn’t even pass by him or hear his voice in the hallways, between classes. Even though it could be worse, a school day sharing your first and last class with him wasn’t exactly the best.

You closed your locker and started walking to class. Then, your phone vibrated and the short notification sound of a new message reminded you that you’d have to put it on silent before the class started. You unlocked it to read the message you just got and smiled once you did.

“have a good day at school”

You quickly texted a “you too!” before putting your phone back in your backpack before entering the class.

When you opened the door, your best friend was the first person to greet you. You smiled and approached her, leaving your backpack on the floor next to your desk when you passed by it. Next to her was her boyfriend Luo Zheng. And in the desk in front of them, was Luo Zheng’s best friend... Li Xikan.

You would never understand how someone as kind-hearted as Luo Zheng could be best friends with someone like Xikan. Well, to be honest, you understood. Xikan wasn’t mean to him. Of course, he would tease him once in a while, but he didn’t annoy him like he annoyed you.

He had been like this since the first day you met. For some reason, you two just couldn’t get along.

You just talked to both of them until the teacher walked into the class.

When school was over, you and your best friend walked home together. She usually walked home with Luo Zheng, but he and his friends -including Xikan- had dance practice on Wednesdays and Fridays after school.

—”So, are you getting along with Luo Zheng’s friend?” —She didn’t mean Xikan, but the person who you had been texting for a few months now. The same one who sent you that message that morning. It was actually her who introduced you to him. That is, if giving you his number and telling you to text him could be considered a proper introduction.

Whenever you thought of that day, it felt weird. One day you two were just texting and she said “Hey, I met one of Luo Zheng’s friends today and Luo Zheng told me he likes the same music as you. Weren’t you complaining that you didn’t know anyone to talk to about it the other day? If you want, I could give you his number!” And you didn’t know what got over you to make you accept. Thinking back about it after months had passed made you wonder if it wasn’t weird to just start texting a random stranger just because you two had the same music taste, and the answer was probably yes, but you still did and you didn’t really regret it.

After all, you two got along so well.

You even developed a small crush on him, so you decided to confess your little secret to your friend.

—”I think I like him.” —You said, your cheeks blushing after saying it. Your friend gasped and then smiled wide.

—”Really? Luo Zheng told me he said he likes you! Why don’t you two meet up already?” —Truth be told, you weren’t really surprised. You knew he was interested in you. And you were sure he knew about your interest in him as well.

You two were actually just a little shy about the idea of meeting. You two talked about sending a pic to each other, just to know how you looked like, but even though you were introduced by friends and that made it more trust-worthy, it felt awkward to just exchange pictures.

But you would have to see each other eventually. Maybe now that you two knew you shared the same feelings was the perfect moment for it.

—”Should we? What if he doesn’t want to?” —You asked, your friend just encouraged you.

You didn’t even wait until you got home. Both of you stopped walking as you took out your phone and unlocked it to send him a message.

—”Aww, you send each other cute good morning texts! You two are so cute!” —She exclaimed. She sounded so happy, it made you happy too. Who didn’t like it when their friends approved of their relationship?

Well, you two weren’t in a relationship yet, but it could happen. You were almost sure it would happen at one point.

“hey saykan!! do you want to meet up?”

—”Now, send it!” —Your friend said, and even hit the ‘send’ button for you. A feeling of nervousness suddenly invaded your heart. It was a little overwhelming, but not too bad. You couldn’t help but smile.

Until a familiar annoyed voice rang in your ears.

—”Why are you smiling like that? Talking to your boyfriend? Did you find a boy crazy enough to date you?” —Your happy expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a serious look and a glare towards the boy who only wanted to get on your nerves.

Beside him was Luo Zheng, who waved his hand at both you and your friend.

—”Mingjun cancelled today’s practice.” —Luo Zheng explained before any of you could ask.

Before you could say something, you noticed Xikan trying to look over your shoulder and read what you had on your phone. You were able to lock it before he could even see anything.

—”Ah! You’re even hiding it! Is it really a boyfriend? Wow, how can a man have such bad taste!” —He exclaimed and then he laughed again. Luo Zheng tried to reprimand his friend, but you spoke before he could.

—”Why do you hate me so damn much? Just leave me alone! I seriously hate you!”—You yelled at him. You turned around and just left quickly without saying anything else.

They, including Xikan, just watched you walk away in shock. Even though this had been going on for a long time, you had never yelled at him like that, even less said that you hated him.

A while after you got home, you received a text from Saykan, saying that he was about to ask you the same thing. It made you smile for the first time after your previous event. However, now you weren’t as excited as before about meeting him, seeing as your mood had dropped down.

“Nice, then one day when you can and want to meet, let me know.”

He seemed to notice the difference in your text compared to the usual ones you sent. The biggest give-away that something was wrong was the dot at the end of the message.

“are you okay?” He asked, responding almost inmediately.  Just knowing that he worried about you made you feel a little bit better.

“yeah, it’s just, someone has been bothering me a lot today.” Well, he had clearly annoyed you more on other occasions, but today it felt like it was too much.

His next message made you giggle.

"what? who? should i beat them up?"

"it's okay, ignoring him is the best thing we can do. he'll get tired of it eventually"

He didn't insist anymore on the topic, but instead, brought up the previous one.

"my practice was cancelled today! should we meet up?" You quickly responded.

"yeah, luo zheng told me. and okay!"

"it's a date! see you at 5 at the new cat café? you said you wanted to visit it"

"yes!! see you later!!"

He replied with the same, and added a heart emoji at the end.

So, in the hour that you had until your date, you took a shower and -with the help of your friend, who seemed surprised that you and Saykan were going to meet up, compared to how excited she was before- chose an outfit for the special event. You also put on a little bit of makeup and spent some extra time on making sure your hair looked good.

You had to take a bus to take to the cat café, but you spent your time in the bus texting Saykan, who was walking to said place. You were so excited, and so was he. You confessed to being nervous about what he would think of you once he saw you, and he replied saying that he knew you would be the prettiest girl ever. You just hoped he didn't have to take back his words once he saw you for real.

You finally got out of the bus, and after 5 minutes, you got to the café. As you reached out to open the door, your hand brushed another once that had reached out with the same intention.

You lifted your head, only to find Li Xikan standing right in front of you, looking as utterly shocked as you.

Then, his expression softened. His hand brushed yours again, and if he wanted to hold it, but soon he pulled it back.

—"(Y/N)- it's you?" —He asked. It was then when your fear after seeing him was confirmed.

How couldn't you have guessed it? God, his nickname was even similar to his real name! He was Luo Zheng's friend as well, and they had dance practice together. But it was his kindness what fooled you.

And, well, apparently he was fooled too.

Why did your friend do this to you? Knowing you and him never got along-

—"It's you! I can't believe this- I-" —You didn't even know what to say, or how to feel. You liked Saykan. But did you like Xikan? Even though they were the same person...—"I'm leaving-" —Before you could turn around, he wrapped his arms around you.

Your cheeks felt burning hot from the sudden embarrassment, and your heart beat so fast it almost hurt. You weakly tried to push him away for a second before giving up.

—"I'm sorry for what I've been doing to you." —You just listened as he apologized.— "I don't know why Luo Zheng did this- well I guess I do know, so we could become friends." —

Yeah, it all made sense. Your friend and her boyfriend had agreed to do this to make you two get along. Who wouldn't want their special someone's best friend to be friends with each other's? You wanted to be mad at her, because even thought it was a cute idea, you and Xikan were just never meant to be friends.

But then again, for the first time and during months, even though it was because you two didn't know who was behind the screen of your phones, you two got along for the first time.

And even developed feelings for each other.

—"I guess who you were talking about today was me. I am sorry I bothered you- I just- I don't know how to let you know that I'm sorry. We just never got along, and I know I can be annoying when I tease- Even if we weren't friends, I didn't mean to make it too much. I hope maybe now we can-"

—"Oh, shut up." —You said, and he tensed up. But after a few seconds, you started laughing.

—"Me too, I'm sorry I said that. It's also my fault that we couldn't get along well." —

A part of you didn't really want to forgive him yet. Maybe you wouldn't. You knew for sure that you didn't really want to date him right in this moment.

But this was more progress than even starting to date, so you were content.

Also, your teasing at school would finally be over.

You wrapped your hands around his torso to hug him too.

—"Let's start over." —He offered, and you nodded.

After a few seconds, both of you pulled away and smiled somewhat awkwardly, but definitely happy.

—"And now, let's go inside! I have been wanting to visit this café for some time too, so let's have fun!" —You giggled and held his hand as you two entered the building.

You didn't know how your friends ever thought that you two would ever be able to get along, but you also didn't know how could it work out.

But you were happy it did. You were happy you two could finally be at peace around each other.

You were happy it was him.
