Hello again! Anyway, my question is when Luka came, will Marinette like him or she will still like Adrien still? And also when Kagami came, will Adrien like her or he will still stick with his crush for Marinette? I'm just curious since I DON'T LIKE MY FAVORITE SHIP BE OVER IN YOUR AU! 😥 (btw, if you said yes mari will like luka, then i can't wait for adrien's jealousy face and my life will being over :') )
It is spoiler territory, so I’ll put a READ MORE for people who don’t want it, but I’ve also said it in the past so here’s where I plan with them:
Kagami will not get a crush on Adrien and Adrien will not get a crush on Kagami, though there will be a little physical attraction because she is gorgeous and I can’t just ignore canon shoujo bubbles. This is because I want to focus on friendship for Kagami’s mini arc.
Canon Kagami came when Adrien was feeling vulnerable and unsure about his feelings for Ladybug, opening him up to a relationship with Kagami. However, he has no doubts about loving Marinette - she is not the force keeping the apart, his busy schedule (both civilian and superhero) is preventing him from pursuing her, not because he knows she doesn’t reciprocate or because she rejects him.
And I just never understood when it was that Kagami fell for Adrien because one episode she didn’t and then suddenly she did. Not to say that Adrien is unlikable, but I like to see the inciting incident that caused that shift, since Riposte ended with Kagami wanting to meet his friend Marinette and being sure that he liked her to the point of teasing him about it. So sorry Adrigami fans but it’s not gonna happen.
Luka will get a crush on Marinette and Marinette will get a mild crush on Luka. Not enough for her to consider actual going after him over Chat Noir, but enough to leave her flustered. This is because I have a mini arc for Luka that is dependent on his feelings for Marinette.
Canon Luka also came in when Marinette was feeling vulnerable due to Adrien missing out on a lot of hangouts, like the universe telling them not to be together. And Luka was kind to her and praised her while she was in that state. And I can’t pretend that a cute older boy flattering me wouldn’t make 14 year old me explode, pre-existing crush or no.
And while it does kinda read like Luka came already liking Marinette, I can at least rationalize to myself that he probably heard a lot about her from Juleka and even if he didn’t their interactions were full of chemistry, so I’m not confused why he caught feelings. So sorry Lukanette fans but I’m basically gonna tease you a whole lot.
