FIC: "The Blushing Not-Bride" (MLB/Lukanette, JuleRose)
Characters/Pairings: Ivan Bruel, Juleka Couffaine, Luka Couffaine, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Rose Lavillant; Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Rose Lavillant/Juleka Couffaine
Summary: It was a harmless little suggestion. It was a beautiful day, spring was in the air, and Rose just wanted to serenade her girlfriend with silly love songs. She hadn’t meant to get Ideas in Marinette’s head, and she certainly hadn’t meant for Luka to see those ideas…
Except now that he has…well. Is it really such a bad thing?
Author’s Notes/Warnings: According to my notes, this started with an IG Nerd sent me about a girl who met this guy and three days later found this wedding dress super cheap and bought it, and he teased her about it when he found out – until they ended up married & it was totally their dress. This isn’t exactly that, but it’s kinda in the spirit. 😂
(I’m just gonna post and run, because March was hard and my confidence is shot and if I let myself overthink it it’ll never see the light of day. Cool? Cool.)
“Don’t you just love springtime in Paris?” Rose sighed dreamily as she leaned against the railing of the bow, her arms dangling over the edge and swaying with the breeze. “The weather…”
“The sunburn,” Juleka drawled.
“…the flowers…” Rose continued, ignoring her girlfriend’s comment.
“The allergies,” Juleka added, sharing a grin with Marinette, who giggled and ducked behind her sketchbook.
“…the romance,” Rose said, turning towards her girlfriend and lifting an expectant eyebrow. Juleka sighed and slumped back against the rail.
“Ok, fine, you’ve got me there,” she sighed. Rose giggled and leaned closer, pecking a kiss against her cheek and drawing the faintest hint of color to her pale face.
“I’ve always got you, my dear Juleka,” she quipped. She winked at her, and the pink in Juleka’s cheeks darkened. “Especially in the romance department.”
