Adrien smiled as he pulled out his favorite blue scarf that his father had given him for his birthday from his drawer. He wrapped it around his neck and gave a big smile as he looked down at the scarf. It was almost spring, but Adrien still was chilled to the bone when he stepped outside, so he preferred to have a hoodie on and the scarf he loved.

The boy with golden hair couldn't help but smile at the feel of the warm scarf nuzzled against his neck. It was so warm, it was as if love was radiating from it. He felt happy wearing it. It made him think of his mother, and he was happy to think that he could feel happy from his father's actions by once, and not by constantly having to remind himself and torture himself at the thought of his mother.

Adrien walked towards Plagg, who was on Adrien's bed, completely passed out. Bits of cheese were gathered at the corners of the black Kwami's lips, and a soft snore emitted from his cat-like mouth. He smiled sweetly as he gazed at Plagg. Plagg sure was annoying when he wanted things, but Adrien couldn't help but feel grateful. Without Plagg, Adrien wouldn't be who he wanted to be, which was Chat Noir. And if it wasn't for Plagg, Adrien would never have those beautiful moments of spending time with Ladybug.

He continued to smile to himself, and he swiftly exited his room, went down the stairs, and left his home. He shivered as he took a few steps. The cool frosty air danced about and made his face go numb slightly. He closed his eyes and inhaled the cool air and exhaled quickly and began to walk down the streets. He gazed at all the lights hung up from poles and from fancy restaurants that glowed ever so beautifully in the dark night sky. Adrien didn't realize it was that late until he pulled back the sleeve of his black hoodie and saw that it was 9 PM. He was thankful that his father decided to take a nap. If not, he would of gotten caught and scolded for being out.

Adrien really enjoyed the moments he had to himself whenever he was alone. Yes, there were people walking up and down the streets, softly chattering to each other or into their phone, but that didn't bug him. It was apart of life after all.

He sat down at a bench near a slightly isolated area near a closed down clothing shop, and he leaned back into the wooden bench and sighed softly, closing his eyes, finally deciding to accept the feel of the cool air on his face. He nuzzled his mouth and nose into the scarf and a smile tugged at his lips.

The smile quickly faded away when he heard shuffling behind him. Feeling uncomfortable and uneasy, he turned around and saw a dark shadow behind him. He screamed out loud and fell out of the bench. He flailed his arms about, causing his scarf to fall off.

The figure gasped and stepped closer to him. He squinted his beautiful emerald eyes and they went wide as the figure stepped more into the light, and he realized it was Ladybug.

She was slightly shivering and her glossy lips seemed to be frosty looking and cracked due to the cold. Her beautiful pale skin glowed under the light like a full moon. A light blush covered her cheeks and she stared back at the boy with her dark blue eyes wide.

"Uh..uh.. Adrien?"

Adrien gasped as he heard his name being called out by the one person he adored. He found it odd how his name seemed to roll off her tongue easily, but he ignored it and a blush came upon his face. He wasn't sure what to feel or do. He didn't know if he should smile and act like the huge fanboy he was, or try to act smooth and polite.

"How do you know my name..?"

Ladybug's face got slightly redder and she stumbled over her words as she spoke, awkwardly scratching the back of her head.

"Uh, well, who doesn't know you? You're a model, and I've seen you around a lot when I capture Akumas."

Adrien shook his head and felt completely dumb. He should of known she probably knew because of something as common as that.

"Uh.. Why're you here? I don't see any Akumas." Adrien nervously spoke, scoping the area for any suspicious activity. He'd feel absolutely devastated if Ladybug was doing all the work by herself, and he, Chat Noir, sat back and did nothing.

"I love going on walks, and I always love coming by this closed down shop. When I'm older-, I mean, when I have enough money, I'd like to buy the place and sell the clothes and merchandise I make."

Adrien gasped as he looked at the girl. He saw the way her eyes lit up talking about her dream, and he was glued to her completely. Everything she did was fascinating to him. The way she would stare at things from afar, and the way she would giggle to herself after probably thinking of something comical.

"You're pretty interesting, Ladybug." Adrien closed his eyes and gave her a sheepish smile. He sat back down on the bench and Ladybug continued to stand. She walked in front of the bench so she could be in front of him, and she looked around the streets, not seeing anyone at all. Ladybug felt herself go weak at the knees as she listened to her crush call her interesting. She could only blush at his words, and she could hear the sweetness and truth in his words. She knew he wasn't lying, and that made her swoon inside. She was completely head over heels for Adrien, and she hated how she couldn't confess to him or show him any signs of affection. Marinette had more confidence as Ladybug, and she was Ladybug right now, but it would be horrible if she confessed as Ladybug. She wanted to win Adrien over with her boring old plain, awkward self, and not as her alter ego. The whole situation aggravated her.

Neither of the two teens said anything, and it was dead silent. The only thing you could hear was the hard breathing coming from Ladybug. She was completely nervous and she felt anxious. While Ladybug was lowkey panicking, Adrien stared at her. He listened to her quick, hard breathes, and he loved it. He looked at her face, and he just loved it. He could hardly see most of her face due to her mask, but it was gorgeous to him. The contrast of her dark blue eyes and the red mask with black dots made his heart palpitate. Adrien quickly started to panic since he caught himself staring at her too much, and he could tell he was freaking out Ladybug.

Ladybug awkwardly stood there and crossed her hands behind her back. She quickly shook her head and realized she had to act professional and be talkative and brave around her crush, and she smiled sweetly at him, kneeling down, finally offering him a hand after the minutes of awkward glances and silence.

"Do you need help getting up? You've been sitting there on the stone floor for awhile, and it's probably really cold."

Adrien quickly nodded and smiled brightly, grabbing onto her hand. She pulled him up and she felt butterflies dance around in her stomach as she felt his warm hand around her cold one. Ladybug's eyes went wide as she saw the blue scarf on the floor. She frantically let go of Adrien's hand and bent down. She gingerly picked up the scarf, stood up and let out an even louder gasp than ever before as she gazed at it. It was in perfect condition. It was as if she had just sewn it yesterday for Adrien.

"Oh! My scarf! Thank you so much for picking it up for me. I was being clumsy and didn't realize I was so careless with it. I love that scarf a lot. It makes me really happy." Adrien had a bright smile on his perfect face after he spoke. His buck teeth were showing in his smile, and he had his eyebrows raised. Ladybug's breath hitched in her throat and she stared in awe at Adrien. She felt her body heat up out of pure happiness just by seeing her crush smile. He didn't look cute to her, he looked absolutely handsome. She was completely breathless.

Adrien stared at the girl puzzled, and the smile vanished.

"Ladybug? Are you okay?"

Ladybug jumped slightly and she shook her head, finally getting back to reality.

"My apologies. I was daydreaming slightly. Anyway.. Here is your scarf." Ladybug smiled sweetly as she walked towards Adrien. Her eyes twinkled in the light of the moon, and in the light from the street lights. She batted her thick eyelashes as she gazed at Adrien and she continued to blush.

"May I put your scarf on you?"

Adrien quickly nodded and bent down slightly so he could be at even height with her. He felt his cheeks get even hotter, but he ignored it since he could only focus on Ladybug and her nice gestures.

Ladybug smiled and wrapped the scarf twice around his neck loosely. She carefully adjusted the spots of the scarf that were too bunched up in some areas, and she smiled.

"Take good care of that scarf okay? Someone who truly loves you made it."

Adrien quickly nodded and blurted out his words in a jumble.

"I know! My father got it for me! He probably made it for me. It makes me so happy, he really loves me." Adrien gave Ladybug an innocent smile and she felt her heart crack.

She couldn't believe that Adrien still thought his dad made the scarf, when it was her. Ladybug could do nothing but play along.

"You have an amazing father. He truly loves you. You're a lucky boy, Adrien."

Adrien chucked and rubbed the back of his head, playing with the tangled stands of his hair.

"I know. I'm really happy my dad loves me. I kind of wish someone else made this for me. You said whoever made it really loves me, and it would feel amazing having a gift from someone who's not related to you, but still cares and loves you."

Ladybug smiled sweetly and patted Adrien on his shoulder.

"That would be amazing, wouldn't it?"

Ladybug forced a smile onto her face and she gazed at Adrien.

She continued to smile as she thought to herself, "If only you knew Adrien. If only you knew."
