Plagg had never seen his kitten so worked up before. Poor Adrien had been pacing for little over an hour now and still going.
The stress of the situation was clearly taking its toll on him; his once nice black designer shirt and original costume made white jacket were wrinkled. His perfectly styled hair was frizzy, sticking out in odd places as he feverishly combed through the golden locks with his hand.
"What's the big deal?" Plagg asked, catching another wedge of cheese into his waiting mouth. "It's not like she's marrying him."
"Plagg," his charged stopped to glare daggers at him, "It's just the girl of my dreams is with my best friend!"
"So?"
"So." Adrien echoed. He was suddenly kneeling to his bed, glaring at the tiny cat. "So she's dating him! So they're together! So I'll never have a chance to confess to her! This IS a big deal, Plagg!"
The kwami shrugged, uninterested in petty human drama. "Not my fault you didn't see the obvious."
"What the heck are talking about?"
"You humans," Plagg stretched and smiled, "Always so oblivious. I knew she was Ladybug the moment you tried to get the gum off her chair."
"And you didn't think to tell me!"
"I'm not supposed to tell, that's part of the whole secret identity thing."
"Well maybe I won't tell you where the camembert is!"
"Hey there's no need to get hostile, Adrien!" He crosses his tiny arms with a smug, kitty grin. "Besides, I already know where the camembert is."
Adrien groaned, rolling his eyes, shooting from his spot on the floor. "I can't believe my bad luck!" He was using both hands to mess up his hair. "Nino is my best friend and he loves Marinette, but I love Marinette and she said she loves me!"
"Tikki would have called this a 'Love Triangle," Plagg said, lazily pawing a loose strand on Adrien's blanket.
"Tikki?" Adrien turned around. "Who's Tikki?"
"Ladybug's kwami. She's the helpless romantic type. We're pretty 'close', it's been decades since I've last seen her."
Adrien sighs again, falling onto his bed, disrupting Plagg's pawing. "This is insane. The one time I learn who she is and she's out of my reach again. Isn't there a way for me to get her out of this? She doesn't want to date him, that's obvious, but she doesn't want to break his heart either."
"Why can't you do anything?" Plagg questions curiously. His charged rolled over onto his stomach, face pressing deeply into a pillow. "Because," Came his muffled voice. Plagg moved closer to hear him better. "Nino is my best friend. I love Marinette, but if he finds out I'm in love with her too, he'll hate me forever. I can't do that to him."
"Chat can."
Adrien looked up to see Plagg's mischievous grin, tail flopping around with amusement.
"To Adrien, Nino is his best friend. But to Chat Noir, he's just another civilian. Who just so happens to be dating the love of his life."
It took only a moment for Adrien to understand just what his kwami was implying. "Wait are you saying…"
Plagg nodded, floating to him. "You want your lady, right?"
Nod.
"Why not cause a little mischief?"
"It's wrong!" The model instantly said. "I can't do it!"
"But she doesn't like him like that." Plagg reminds him.
"He's my best friend!"
"He's Adrien's best friend."
Plagg could see his hesitation. Like his charge, the black kwami had fallen hard for his own lady and now that Adrien knew who Ladybug was, he could see her again. "Come on," the little god coaxed gently, voice as smooth as silk, "You know you want too."
He did. Oh, God he wanted to. But his conscious was screaming no!
"Besides, I overheard in the locker room the other day that Alya is crushing hard on him. Maybe you two should work together. Marinette loves you, right?"
"Y-Yeah, but he's still my best friend."
"Nino is Adrien's best friend," Plagg corrected. There was a devious gleam in his eyes, "He's also Chat Noir's rival."
Rival huh? Well that was an interesting way to put it. "Yeah, I guess you're right. But what can Chat Noir do?"
"He's a black cat." Plagg states, smirking, "Black cats cause bad luck."
AN: I couldn't help myself! I wanted to wait, but darn it I was already given so many beautiful reviews I decided to post another chapter! Yes, people I'm falling deep into this ship and I'm not sure if there's a way out! XD. Anyways, I hope you guys like this chappie! It's not as long as the first one, but hopefully the other chapters will be at decent length. As I said before I'm rusty and there are probably grammar errors so forgive me, please!
Also I don't know how long this story is going to be as I'm writing this, I'm still coming up with ideas for the next chapter and hopefully it'll be up soon, but unfortunately I can't make any promises. Anyways, thank you all for the reviews and favorites! You have no idea how much that means to me! Thank you guys!
