Adrien had been so happy. The autograph session had provided the perfect opportunity for him to connect with Ladybug outside the mask. He'd agonised over the decision for weeks, drafting and re-drafting letter after letter, wanting to make sure it sounded right. He'd been concerned that signing it with love would have been too much but he couldn't bring himself to sign it any other way. His worries had melted away when Ladybug's pen danced over the photo. He'd practically swooned when she signed Love Ladybug. To add to his bliss, she'd called him and accepted his invitation to come over. Now she was here and Plagg ruined it.

The kwami had successfully hidden in his room for two years and now that Ladybug was here he screwed up and she found him. Adrien's eyes narrowed, or had the little turd done it on purpose. His attention returned to Ladybug as she placed her hands on her hips. As much as he wanted to reveal their identities she was forever advising against it. He didn't know what to do, he looked back at Plagg who gave him an uneasy smile.

Plagg swallowed an expletive that was threatening to emerge from his mouth as he watched his chosen flounder under the curious gaze of his lady. The kwami could see Adrien's mind ticking over and coming up with nothing. If there was one thing Plagg was used to it was being in trouble. He cleared his throat and Ladybug's eyes swung to him, "I'm here for the glorious cheese."

Her pretty eyes studied him, "Cheese?"

Plagg smiled and wiped some of the gorgonzola crumbs from around his mouth, "Adrien has access to some of the most splendid cheeses around."

An incredulous note left Ladybug's lips, "You use him for cheese."

"I'm a complicated creature with extravagant taste."

She crossed her arms, "But aren't you supposed to be near Cat Noir?"

Plagg shrugged and made sure he didn't look at Adrien, "He's close enough."

"What if he needs you and you're here?"

"I don't understand the question."

Ladybug's eyes narrowed, "You should be with Cat Noir."

"As I said, he's around."

She turned her attention to Adrien, "How did you find him?"

He pursed his lips as he looked warily at the black kwami, "He just kind of appeared one day."

Ladybug studied them both for a moment then looped her arm through Adrien's and led him to the expansive windows. She glanced over her shoulder at the kwami then whispered into Adrien's ear, "We have to get him back to Cat Noir."

Plagg couldn't help smirking. A look of euphoria had spread across Adrien's face as she'd whispered in his ear. Heck he was practically cross-eyed from standing so close. The kid didn't seem to grasp the concept of playing hard to get. Ladybug on the other hand had it down pat but she wasn't pushing Adrien away and that intrigued Plagg. His smug smile stretched even further. It was time to have some fun. He floated across the room and landed on the top of Adrien's head.

Ladybug lifted her face to look at the kwami, oblivious that her nose was beside Adrien's and her lips were within his easy reach. Adrien on the other hand was very aware. Plagg feigned a look of innocence as he peered down at Ladybug. He toyed with a lock of Adrien's hair before settling on his belly, "You're planning to ditch me, right?"

"We're not ditching you, we need to get you back to Cat Noir."

"But I'm quite happy here."

Ladybug maintained eye contact with Plagg. She decided it was best to catch the kwami and remove him from Adrien's home. She slowly lifted her hands along the outline of Adrien's body, hoping that Plagg wouldn't notice. She did her best to concentrate but Adrien's increased breathing was very distracting. She threw another question at Plagg, "Why won't you be with Cat Noir?"

Plagg propped his chin on his paw, "You tell me, you push him away often enough."

Ladybug pouted closing even more distance between her lips and his. Adrien's eyes bulged and an almost imperceptible whimper escaped him. She missed it as her glare was set on Plagg, "We have a job to do and sometimes he loses focus."

Plagg laughed as Adrien paled. Ladybug's hands were now hovering beside Adrien's ears. She launched into action, her hands clapping together as Plagg skilfully evaded her. Her arms encircled Adrien's head and a lock of her hair dangling from her temple tickled his nose. She growled as she reached for the kwami who continued to dodge her hands. He twisted in the air and she pushed off Adrien to close in, Plagg took the opportunity to dash beneath Adrien's white shirt. Ladybug didn't hesitate in following, her hands were inside Adrien's shirt before her brain caught up with what she was doing.

She jumped back as if scolded. "S-sorry," she squeaked as they both stood staring at each other with pink cheeks. Then her eyes locked onto the swirling kwami, he blew a raspberry at her as he shot out the window.

Her eyes narrowed as she snatched up her yoyo. She was about to pursue him when Adrien grabbed her wrist. "Wait you don't need to follow him."

"We need to keep him safe until he's with Cat Noir."

"But he'll be back."

She eyed him for a moment then looped her arm around his waist, "Good point. You need to convince him otherwise." Adrien yelped as Ladybug whipped him off his feet and they flew out the window.

And so the chase begins. Where do you think Plagg should take them? Let me know and I might be able to work it into the story. Thanks for reading, reviewing, favouriting and following. Until next time, cheers :)
