sneak peek of next Missing the Third fic!
Hey all! I’m still writing this, so I haven’t edited it yet, which means some parts are subject to change. However, it has been months since my last Missing the Third fic...and since y’all have been patiently waiting, here’s a tiny snippet of the next installment! (For reference, it takes place the same day as Reflekdoll in canon.)
Before Adrien can voice his concerns to Plagg—who will probably just tell him to eat some cheese—his phone plays a little guitar riff, signaling that he has a text from Luka.
“Oh, it’s your boyfriend,” Plagg says. “Maybe you can go on a date and forget about this Mister Bug business.”
“Plagg!” Adrien says. He covers the phone speaker, even though Luka can’t possibly hear him over text. “He’s not my boyfriend!”
“You gave him a special text tone.”
“W-well—I—I gave other people special ones, too.”
“That was only after you gave him one.”
“Shoo!” Adrien says, waving a hand as Plagg cackles. “We’re just friends.”
“I might not understand your strange human love rituals,” Plagg says, darting around to avoid Adrien’s hand, “but if you two are just friends, why is your face the color of edam wax?”
It takes Adrien a moment to understand Plagg’s cheese reference. “I’m not blushing!”
Plagg is crazy, of course—Adrien doesn’t like Luka that way. He just thinks that Luka is a cool guy. Of course he wants to spend more time with him! Is it really so strange that he would find excuses to stop by the houseboat and start texting Luka more often? Adrien just wants to be better friends with Luka. That doesn’t mean he’s wooing him. As a kwami, Plagg clearly can’t tell the difference between human romance and human friendship.
“If you’re not going to text him back,” Plagg says, “let me do it!”
He makes a swipe for Adrien’s phone, and Adrien dives to the floor, hugging it to his chest. “Don’t you dare!”
Expect the full fic to be posted sometime this month!
