Hey Gorgeous

When you get kinda stuck on the thing you’re supposed to be writing, so you go off the rails and do something completely different, and suddenly you’re 3000 words in and you can’t decide if it was an awful terrible idea or if you have a half a new fic written.

So here’s the beginning to a university delivery boy Luka/stuttery Marinette…thing.

Most of the time, Luka enjoyed his job. He enjoyed the physical activity of pedaling around the beautiful campus, and he enjoyed letting his mind wander in between deliveries. It relaxed him and gave him time to work out melodies or problems or just to contemplate whatever thought was stuck in his brain. Even when the customers were a pain, which was often, the bad days were bearable, and when the weather was nice it was downright enjoyable no matter what people said to him. After all, Luka was pretty good at letting shit go.

However, on this day the weather was not nice. The school year had just begun and summer was still hanging on, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and it was hot. He had a hard time imagining who would even want to eat pizza in this heat, but he tried not to let his exhaustion show as he pulled up in front of the steps of one of the freshman dorms.

The girl sitting on the steps stood up and came down to meet him. Luka flashed her a smile as he got off the bike to retrieve her pizza. He couldn’t help an appreciative glance out of the corner of his eye. Dressed for the heat in shorts and a tank top with her blue-black hair piled on top of her head, a few wet strands sticking to her neck, she was built like a dancer, lean but strong. He turned to her, pizza in hand, and his stomach did a little flip. She was…really cute, damn, with big blue eyes and freckles and sweet pink lips. God what he wouldn’t give to meet a girl like her at a gig instead of on the job, worn out and covered in sweat, smelling like an ever-so-appealing combination of pizza and teenage boy (technically he wasn’t a teenager anymore as of a couple months ago, but he still smelled like one). “Hi,” he said, glad his breathlessness would be attributed the bike. “This for you?”

To his surprise, instead of taking her pizza, she looked up at him and frowned. “You look hot,” she said, and then her eyes widened. “I mean, y-y-you’re s-sweaty. N-n-not to be r-rude, but—“ She made a frustrated noise and buried her face in her hands. Then she looked up and held up both pointer fingers. “W-w-wait h-here!”

She ran inside, leaving Luka standing there in confusion, still holding her pizza. He glanced at his phone nervously, wondering how long he could afford to wait before he had to go on, but before he got really worried she was back again, running down the stairs with a couple of water bottles in her hands.


“Here,” she said, only barely out of breath from the impromptu run, shoving the two bottles into his hand, taking the pizza with the other. Surprised, Luka nearly dropped them, but managed to get a grip on both bottles with his long fingers, despite the condensation quickly gathering on them. They were ice cold. His benefactor has already turned and was halfway up the steps by the time he had dropped one in the basket of his bike and cracked open the other. It tasted heavenly and he was sorely tempted to dump half of it over his head.

“Hey, gorgeous,” Luka called without thinking. She turned, wide-eyed, cheeks pink, and he held up the water with one hand and gave her a two fingered salute with the other. “Thanks!”

She smiled, and hurried back inside. Luka took another drink and then twisted the cap back on, dropped the water in the basket of his bike, and pushed off to get back to his deliveries, smiling broadly.
