Summon me to help you - Luktober Day 16

So I was looking for inspo for a Shugo Chara au and found @bklily Shugo Chara au and I couldn’t fit it into Adrien AUGust and I wanted to do something, so here we go, my attempt at a Shugo Chara thing in @lukacouffaineappreciation. Yeah, please enjoy. Summon

Luka strummed on his guitar, knowing the gentle tones was lulling his chara to sleep. When his phone buzzed next to him, he thought it was just Marinette, letting him know about a student council meeting the next day. He wasn’t expecting it to be from Adrien.

“Sass! Wake up!”

The scaled egg sitting on his amp shook as the chara let out a surprised yelp. The top half of the egg moved as his chara opened it, looking annoyed. “What is it?”

“Adrien texted me!”

“What? When? We have to go to him!”

Luka was already up, shoving his feet into his sneakers, barely waiting for the long haired chara to fly out from his egg and follow him. He tried to stay calm but he couldn’t. this wasn’t just some text from a friend. It was a summon from someone asking for help.

Adrien to most was Paris’ biggest teen model, a student at the same school Luka attended. But to Luka and the rest of the student council, Adrien was the holder of the Dumpty Key and their unwanted enemy. The school’s student council all had charas – living manifestations of a person’s would be self and dreams – and worked together to reverse X Eggs, corrupted chara eggs due to not believing in themselves or their dreams. Luka had only joined the group recently, after Sass had hatched and transformed with him and had only known Adrien from when they bumped into each other in the music room. He could always tell Adrien was stressed and hiding something whenever they talked and then he finally found out why.

Juleka’s own egg turned into an X Egg after a bad fight with their mother and he’d gone chasing after the egg. Adrien had suddenly appeared, looking like a cat, swiping the Egg from the air.

“Not the Embryo.”

“Adrien?” He asked, knowing he was confused.

The green eyes, so much more neon now, looked over at Sass. “So that’s why you joined the student council. I was hoping we could stay friends.”

Luka saw Adrien’s hand around the egg get tighter and he moved. He felt Sass activate his chara change and grabbed the lyre that appeared and strum it, letting the sound waves attack Adrien. His main focus was grabbing the Egg that slipped from his grasp, that he barely saw Adrien escaping.

Marinette explained it after she came and cleansed the Egg, leaving Juleka awake and moving again.

“I know it doesn’t look like it, but Adrien isn’t our enemy.”

“You’ll understand if I don’t totally believe that. He was about to destroy my sister’s Egg. Most kids don’t get a second chance.”

“Hear me out. Did you happen to notice a key on Adrien, maybe with the same design as this?” she asked, tugging and a Humpty Lock around her neck.

“Maybe? Why?”

“Adrien was the one who gave me the Lock in the first place. We were friends as kids. His mom would bring him to the bakery after shoots and with only Chloe as a friend, we became close. After he started coming to school with us, he seemed happier too. He gave me the Lock, saying that it and the Key meant that the wearers would always be close. Then, Adrien’s mom went missing and X Eggs started appearing more and more. Adrien told me his father was behind it.” He knew that Gabriel was behind the influx of Eggs they had to chase. He didn’t know Adrien knew that. “He asked me for help to get away from his dad, so he wouldn’t be forced to help, but something happened. I don’t have the full story, but Adrien went from a free roaming cat to a caged one. His dad is holding something over his head to keep him in line. He’s always asking for help to get away but we usually get there too late. His dad sinks his claws into him, tighter and tighter and soon, I think he’s gonna stop asking. His dad has sent others to try and take care of us, near killing us. If Adrien comes after us, he won’t go full force, allowing us to get away.”

It seemed like such a wild story, but thing was, he believed her. He’d heard the hurt and stress in Adrien’s heart, seen the way he looked at the student council, full of his friends and never approached them, how he kept to himself, like it was safer that way.

So he talked to Adrien. He wasn’t called to help most times with X Eggs, only if completely necessary, so he had a lot of time and he was stubborn, refusing to give in until Adrien talked to him. Eventually he broke down. Quite literally.

“I don’t want to do this.” He sobbed. “If it’s not the Embryo, I have to get rid of the Egg, but how can I do that knowing a person will have lost their chara forever? But if I don’t, he will and so much worse. I have to make the people who were my friends hate me and I can’t do anything about it!”

“Hey, listen to me, ok. When it gets too much, I want you to call me ok? Your dad knows Marinette has the Lock, so not her. Call me. I’m rarely in the fights, so he won’t ever suspect me. People deserve to have someone at their side. I’m a snake, just play your tune and I’ll be there.” He promised.

When he told Marinette, she looked happy, but also a bit jealous.

“I just wish I could be the one he went to, but he has someone and that’s all that matters. Who knows, maybe we can get him away after all.”

Adrien had disappeared from school a few days ago, with no word on what was going on. This was the first they’d heard from him. It was a short text, one word. Lyre. Luka’s weapon when fighting.

He went to the bridge where he had found Adrien holding his sister’s Egg. Curled up, in the middle of it and under what seemed like the only light, was Adrien. He was shivering, be it from the slightly cold weather or from silent tears, Luka didn’t know, but he walked quietly until he was in front of him.

“Adrien?”

“He tried….” tears, it was definitely tears. “He tried to inject X Egg energy into Plagg. He was going to hurt Plagg. Just for some stupid egg.”

Luka kneeled in front of Adrien, resting his hands on his knees, waiting for Adrien to lift his head up. “You summoned your snake. What do you want me to do?”

“Don’t make me go back, please don’t.” Adrien begged, Plagg’s egg held in his hands.

“I won’t. I promise. You’ll be safe, ok?” Adrien collapsed into his chest, sobbing and Luka held him tight, as if to protect him from the world.
