summary: When Adrien gets sick while Marinette is preparing for her university senior exhibition, she asks Luka to come take care of him.
preview:
He hasn’t received a reply by the time he makes it to Marinette and Adrien’s shared flat. He tries not to let that bother him as he makes his way up the narrow, twisting stairwell and retrieves the key from under the mat. It’s a short walk, and it’s not like Marinette would leave Adrien if he was too sick to even answer a text. At least, Luka’s reasonably sure she wouldn’t.
“Adrien,” Luka calls when he lets himself in. There’s no answer. He toes off his high tops and kicks them next to the shoe rack by the door. “Adrien, you awake?” He asks, quieter this time.
He peers into the living room. It’s empty, save for a cluster of dress forms, draped in brightly-patterned fabrics and congregated in the corner like a clique of gossiping house guests. Luka walks in the rest of the way. There’s a window open. The cool late autumn breeze flutters through a collection of croquis drawings pinned to the opposite wall. He studies them with his arms crossed loosely over his stomach, smiling at Marinette’s fastidious notes—the confident way she strikes through undeveloped ideas and pencils in corrections.
He’s just about to text Marinette to ask if Adrien was asleep when she left when a wet, hacking cough sounds from the other side of the flat. Luka follows it through the bedroom into the bathroom and finds Adrien curled up against the side of the bathtub, his long legs folded to his chest and his forehead pressed to his knees.
