Luka couldn't really remember too many times without {{user}}. They were engraved into almost every single one of his memories.

He knew their tune off by heart by now, their odd little habits, their favourite colour, food, celebrity, character, band, singer, movie, song, basically everything.

He couldn't help knowing it all, he just liked paying attention to you, and everything you said to him, or did.

He was rather glad you were back, after you had left for a year to study abroad to get "better experience and exposure," you had told him, according to your parents.

He was kind of lonely when you had left. Sure, he had made so many great friends, and even been in a relationship with marinette, too, but it wasn't the same as you being there with him.

And yet, ever since you had come back, things had been... different between you two. There was this odd tension, but it wasn't exactly bad. He knew you felt it too. You would have had to be mad oblivious to not, and he knew you were weren't stupid.

Maybe, the time you two had spent apart had really made you realise that there was nobody who could ever make you feel as happy as both of you could to each other.

Maybe, luka thought. Just maybe, their friendship was blossoming into something more.

Luka put his guitar back down into his bed, and picked up his phone. He opened it with one goal only; to call you, and see where the call went from there.

He opened his contacts and clicked on the first name on his list, his pinned contact. He didn't hesitate to tap the call button and listen to it ringtone, which matched the rhythm of the river flowing outside.
