Character/Pairing: Dingo King (OC), Luka Couffaine, Marinette Dupain-Cheng; Lukanette
Rating: T / PG-13 / Teen
Notes: Quick practically gift-wrapped this one, but I was running nonstop Monday & got too ambitious with it. I broke my time limit to get the full idea in and I’m still thinking it needs a full fic and not a prompt ficlet? I wasn’t gonna think that with any of these and whoops…
“Are you ready?” Dingo asks, fidgeting with the camera a little. Luka’s fidgeting himself, but with something much smaller. He grins at Dingo, and there’s something…not helpless, but kinda, about that grin.
“As I’ll ever be,” he says. He looks back at the pick in his hands – it’s an old one, one he gave away years ago but keeps finding its way back to him – and flips it over his knuckles again. “Think she’ll say yes?”
“You actually think she’ll say no?” Dingo snorts, and Luka shoves him a little. “She’d be crazy not to.”
“I’m just crazy enough to be afraid she will,” Luka confesses, and Dingo snorts again.
“Not crazy,” he says, fidgeting with the settings on the camera. He wishes they would just let him use his phone, but Rose was insistent the Moment had to be captured with an actual video camera. Some old-fashioned sentimentality or something. He looks back up at Luka and grins. “Just stupid.”
