Adrien Agreste paced the floor, waiting for his package to arrive.
He had custom made a sweater online that he was planning to give to Ladybug, and was extremely nervous.
"What if it doesn't turn out right? Or worse, what if it doesn't show up at all?" Adrien said in a panic to Plagg.
"What if what doesn't show up?" Nathalie asked as she came down the set of extravagant stairs. She found Adrien slowly wearing away at the floor with his pacing.
Adrien shoved Plagg into his pocket, almost caught. He made a mental note to be more careful.
"My sweater. I mean, a sweater that I got for a f-friend of mine," he stumbled over the word friend, almost saying partner, and Plagg snickered at him.
Adrien shoved his hands into the pocket containing his kwami to shut him up, so Nathalie wouldn't overhear Plagg's laughter.
"Oh, a friend? How nice," she said distractedly looking at her phone, "well don't spend too much time lollygagging out here, you're father has work for you, and me, to do," Nathalie didn't wait for Adrien to answer, and clacked away back up the stairs.
Adrien eyed the room, there wasn't a single decoration in there. He laughed to himself, there wasn't a single decoration inside or outside of the house.
Gabriel Agreste didn't believe in Christmas decorations, he believed that they were a waste of time. Ever since his mother's death, he had been different, and not in a good way. They hadn't put up a Christmas tree in years.
Adrien came out of his reverie and hopped up the stairs to grab a book from his room to read. Nino had recommended it to him a while back, and he decided to finally borrow it from the library.
He grabbed "Leviathan" by Scott Westerfeld, and went back down the stairs and plopped right next to the door. He descended into another realm.
An hour or two later, Adrien wasn't really sure, the doorbell rang.
He sprung up quickly and flung the door open. The cool air swept in and goosebumps went up his neck.
His package for Ladybug had finally arrived!
Adrien grabbed the package, and flew up the stairs taking them by twos and threes.
He ripped open the package, and pulled out the most amazing thing he had ever seen.
The sweater was black, with Chat Noir's silver ears, green eyes, and silver smirk that looked back at him. The bell contrasted perfectly in gold with the silver and black.
Adrien eagerly flipped it over, the tail outlined in silver was purr-fect!
He flopped back onto his bed. Plagg flew out of the excited teen's pocket to see what the commotion was about.
"Ugg, it's stuffy in there, and what are you so happy about anyways? If it's not cheese, it's not worth it."
Adrien sighed dreamily, already picturing Ladybug in his sweater. A pulse of possessiveness shot through him at that picture.
"I will take that as a no then," Plagg muttered under his breath.
"Just look at it Plagg! Isn't it amazing!" Adrien gushed.
Plagg eyed the sweater.
"Don't you think it's a little egotistical to get her a sweatshirt with your face on it?" he said skeptically.
Adrien avoided his question, and instead said, "It isn't a sweatshirt, it is a sweater."
"Well, how do you even know that Ladybug would wear something like that?" Plagg asked negatively.
"I just do, okay? Besides, who wouldn't like a shirt with the famed Chat Noir on it?" he asked boastingly while he puffed out his chest.
"Whatever you say Adrien," Plagg asked as he rolled his eyes.
