You’re the most extraordinary girl, Marinette. As clear as a musical note and as sincere as a melody. You’re the song that's been playing in my head since the first day we met.
—Luka's confession

Marinette's feelings for Luka, however, causes her heart to struggle with the long held feelings she has for Adrien Agreste.

Captain Hardrock[]

Marinette wasn't aware that her classmate and friend, Juleka has an older brother until their mother had asked Marinette to fetch Luka from his cavern, so Kitty Section could start playing for the music festival from the deck of the Couffaines' boat house. As Marinette walks into his cavern room she finds him meditating on his bed with a guitar pic in his hand, but when he opened his eyes and smiled at her she became tongue tied and got some of her words wrong as she introduces herself to him. Luka charmingly mimics her stuttering words as he tells Marinette that it is nice to meet her, but she became embarrassed of rehearing her stuttering sentence and Luka apologies for it when he felt that his well meaning words might have upset her before he plays a few notes on his guitar to her, as music allows Luka to truly expresses himself. Marinette is taken by his music as she places hand over her own heart while listening to him play, with a hint of emotion within its notes. Luka notes that Marinette is a mysterious one that he'll like to uncover it to better understand her. When Luka's mother gets akumatized and gets upset that Kitty Section or their friends would serve as her crew and chains them up. Because Marinette and Luka were chained together, she able to make Luka think that she had picked the lock with the guitar pick he gave her as a gift, and when Captain Hardrock came to check on her captives Luka fakes Marinette's escape as he hides her in his room while Captain Hardrock recaptures him. To save Luka and the others Marinette transforms into Ladybug as she goes to fight Captain Hardrock with Cat Noir. During the fight Cat Noir tells Ladybug that he'll told her off while she goes to save Luka and their friends. Once Luka was freed he asks Ladybug if Marinette is alright, to which has Ladybug to tell him that it was Marinette one who alerted her to the danger they were in. Hearing this Luka comments on Marinette's bravery, which causes Ladybug to blush. After the Captain Hardrock was defeated, Marinette spends the rest of the day watching Luka play beside his band mates.

Frozer[]

Silencer[]

Marinette and Luka's band hear about a compaction that can serve as Kitty Section's big brake, as well as a way to showcase the costumes that Marinette plans to make for them, a fact that causes Marinette to blush after Luka suggests it to her.

When they saw XY playing a rip off version of their song while wearing a self made copy of Marinette's design, they realized that Bob Roth and his son had stolen their ideas. To get justice for Kitty Section, both Marinette and Luka go to confront the Roths about getting them to confuse the truth of their theft, but when Bob denied his crime Luka could see that they were wasting their time with them and that he and Marinette should.

Now as the voice stealing supervillain, Silencer, he promises Marinette that he will not harm her and that he'll get justice for their friends, Marinette however could see that Silencer's approach is of revenge and tries to talk him out of it, but Silencer disagreed and confessed his love for her before going after Rob Roth. Marinette was stunned by Silencer's words and had thought that hearing a decoration of love from a supervillain was a little strange, before transforming into Ladybug. As Ladybug kept Silencer away from Bob Roth, she ends up losing her voice to her akumatized friend and is unable to summon her Lucky Charm or transform back. With help from Cat Noir, they are able to trick Silencer to use Ladybug's stolen voice to summon the Lucky Charm and use it to defeat him.

The ship became popular shortly after their first meeting in "Captain Hardrock", along with their ice skating "date" in "Frozer" and Luka giving Marinette his decoration of love for her, twice as both an akumatized villain and his revert back to normal self, in "Silencer"; which is why fans have Lukanette rival with Adrienette. Along with Lukagami.
