Adriens POV

Marinette's been so kind to me, but as I thought, she still stutters and is quiet whenever she speaks to me.

Maybe I'm right... Maybe she does hate me, she's just trying to be nice.

A high-pitched voice dragged me away from my thoughts and back to rainy Paris.

"Adrikins!"

Ugh, here we go again.

"Hey, Chloè." I tried to be as nice as possible, even though she doesn't get that I don't like her. And she's rude to practically everyone, including her so called 'best friend'.

"Why are you walking with Mari-Trash, when you could be walking with me! I'll have daddy pick us up now and have the finest food served at his hotel!" She rambled on, pulling her phone out of her pocket.

Well, there you go, point proved.

"Marinette is not trash, Chloè, and if you think that about my friends, then frankly, I don't really want to be your friend, so goodbye."

Chloè gasped, glaring at Marinette in disgust.

"You. You stole him from me! You're a disgrace!" Marinette flinched as Chloè got all up in her face, "no one would ever love someone like you."

Marinette stared miserably at the ground, looking like she was on the verge of tears.

"Chloè, I think you should go, now." I stated, holding Marinettes hand to comfort her.

"Ugh, whatever, if you want to hang out with this pile of garbage then fine, but you're missing out!" She lifted her leg and kicked Marinette in the knee with her high heel, making Marinette fall into a puddle. Chloè laughed horribly, and proceeded to drag her foot through the pool of water, throwing it over Marinette.

I'd had enough.

Using my good leg, I kicked some of the muddy water at Chloè, leaving her with a shocked expression and mud all over her outfit.

"Ah- Ahhhh! No, no, this must've been an accident, right Adrikins?" She puckered her lips and looked up at him.

"Sorry Chloè, I'm sure you'd like to go home and wash your clothes, and while you're at it, explain to your father why this happened."

I retorted, turning around and giving a hand to Marinette to help her up.

"Wha- Ugh! Unbelievable!" Chloè hissed, stomping away.

This is why no one likes her. I bet not even Sabrina likes her.

I turned my attention to Marinette, who was still on the ground, sobbing. Picking her up, I looked into her eyes, "I am, so, so, so, sorry about that, it's my fault for being here, she never learns..." I sighed, scratching the back of my head.

"Really? I thought you two were best friends!" Marinette chimed sarcastically, a grin and a mischievous glint in her eyes appearing on her face.

I laughed, taking her hand, "come on, you can't go home like that. Let's go to the cafe, you can go to the bathroom and get cleaned up, then we can take some drinks home?"

She smiled up at me, "O- Ok. Thanks, Adrien."

"No problem," I smiled, then looking down at her leg, where a small amount of blood showed through the fabric, "can you walk ok?"

Marinette stumbles a few steps forward, before turning around to face me.

"Kinda, I'll be ok for today."

I nodded, "Ok. Hey, I down we need to help each other walk now!" I grinned, holding out my hand.

Smiling, she took it, "I- I guess so."

Walking into the cafe, a warm blast of air from the heater above the door engulfed us, instantly getting rid of the cold elements we had felt just moments before.

"What do you want? I'll order while you go clean up." I asked, standing next to a table.

"Ummm..." she started, looked up at the menu.

She looks so adorable when she's thinking.

"Just a regular hot chocolate please. Oh! And a plate of cookies." She smiled, handing out some money. I shook my head, "I'll pay, you go clean up."

"Thanks." She stared, before heading to the toilets.

I sighed, staring after her.

"Hey! Hey kid! Adrien! Psst! Earth to Adrien? Do we have contact? I repeat, send us your co-ordinates now! Nope, we've lost contact." A voice sighed from my bag, dragging me back to Earth.

"Sorry?"

A wide grin appeared on Plaggs face as he looked up at Adrien, "he's alive! I don't know what I'd do without my cheese, I'm starving!"

"Alright, alright, I'll get you some cheese, just keep your voice down," I said, before pushing Plagg further into my bag, and going up to order, "hi, I'll have a regular hot chocolate, a plate of cookies, and a two shot espresso." I sighed, I was going to need it after the day I've had.

"Oi!" I felt a nudge from my bag.

"And.. would you happen to have any camembert?"

I got back to the table with the order, and sat down just as Marinette came out of the bathroom with most of the mud away. She sat down, taking her drink and cookies. "Thanks so much, I owe you one. I'll give you whatever you want from the bakery when we get back to mine."

I chuckled, "Thanks."

"Oh, and the way you stood up to Chloè like that was amazing, I couldn't have done that at all, I feel like an idiot..." she sighed, sipping her hot chocolate.

I took her hand from the table and held it tight, "you are not an idiot, you're amazing, remember that, ok?" She smiled, nodding, thanking me and went to get something from her purse, so I took the opportunity to sneak the camembert into my bag, which now reeked of the stuff, for Plagg.

Suddenly, a few people yelled "Look, there's Adrien with his girlfriend! The same person from the fountain!" They started to take pictures, more people doing the same.

"No! Look, listen, you've got it wrong- she's not my-." I sighed, as they ignored me and kept throwing questions at us.

Plaggs POV

I gobbled up the camembert Adrien gave me and lay down, holding my stomach, "That. Was. Good!" I exclaimed, closing my eyes. All of a sudden, lots of voices started to appear from near the table. I opened an eye, then both, and flew up to the top of the bag and peaked out, tens of people crowding around Adrien and Marinette — who Adriens almost as in love with as Ladybug in my opinion — with cameras and phones out. I scanned the rest of the cafe, then my mouth dropped. I could probably fit three- no four- maybe even five pieces of camembert in there at once! I- I'm shocked... Marinettes purse...

Tikki!

It's really you!

"Tikki!" I whisper-yelled over to her, and she had pretty much the same reaction as I had. She flew over and hid inside Adriens bag with me.

"Plagg! It's you! I can't believe it! Oh my- Oh God, Plagg! No wander Adriens bag was smelly at school, you've turned it into your own personal restaurant!"

"Only with the finest foods, that is." I flew over to a zip and unzipped it, revealing a compartment containing tins and packets of Swiss, cheddar, and obviously, camembert.

Tikki sighed, shaking her head, "so, Adriens Chat Noir huh? Who would've thought..."

"Obviously not Marinette, those two are so dense!"

Tikki giggled at my remark, a child-like grin appearing on her face, "so true."

She looks adorable like that...

"What was that?"

Oh Swiss! Did I say that out loud?

"Yes."

I facepalmed, a blush appearing on my face, as I stared at the bottom of the bag.

"Well, it's true though..." I tried to keep the conversation going.

Tikki blushed, but you could barely tell because of her colour. The thing that gave it away was the red patches on her spots.

"Well that's very nice of you to say." She smiled, "I should be getting back to Marinette, so... I'll see you soon." She grinned again, flying out of the bag, "Au Revoir, Plagg."
