'Hey, Sunshine, your ad this week was amazing.' She typed a quick heart after the text before she could overthink it. Alya hated overthinking what she longed to do, and usually everything was fine when she trusted her first instincts.
'Thanks, Alya.' Just the little cat smiley face that he left after it nearly made her giggle, and she wondered briefly if that was a sign of his normal humor and cheer wearing on to her.
'No problem. Need company at your next shoot? The photographer probably won't be happy, but...' She let it trail off remembering when she'd mentioned to one of his photographers before that she also took pictures as well as video and that she'd wanted to try. It was pure impulse and a little bit of sheer joy from getting to hang out all day with her boyfriend though neither of them had said so much to the photographer or Adrien's father anyway.
'Your pictures are lovely, but he may just get a little upset with you. Sure.' Between his first sentence and the last word was a dorky looking smiley face that instantly brought a smile to Alya's face.
'See you there.' And a winking face for good measure and since it was being sent to her boyfriend anyway.
'Love you.' Just that little text sent her heart racing in her chest and made her realize that she definitely had it bad for this man, and so she typed out what she felt deep down.
'I love you too.' Love was only made more complicated or difficult when you're a superhero, but Alya really wasn't going to admit that to anyone else whether she paused and wondered if there was a way to platonically compliment Cat Noir, because Adrien definitely had her heart whether or not she thought Cat Noir did well in a particular Akuma battle or not.
Alya would sit down at every fencing tournament and record every match of Adrien's if she needed to and had the time, because surely, her sunshine boy, her boyfriend, deserved that much love and appreciation even when he rarely got any.
