Hello Everyone once again to another chapter of Miraculous Relationship! I know it's been months since I updated but I have other stories on the go, still I shall try and update this one when I can.

I want to thank ShyLilNugget, Rugbygirl2020, Bri A. Watson, mayuralover, marauderluverz and MissLogophile for their reviews on the first chapter.

Anyway last time: Adrien didn't show for meeting Marinette, Alya and Nino at the movies but they ran into Rose, Juleka and Luka instead and had a great time. Then after Marinette gets home she gets a text from Luka and he's asking her out!

How will Adrien react when he finds out Marinette is now dating Luka?

Well how about we find out right now! Lights! Camera! Action!

….oh wait that's for movies...uh, oh just read the chapter already.

(Adrien)

Adrien breathed a big sigh of relief as he walked down parisian sidewalk and headed for the subway. He had finally managed to escape his house, which sometimes felt more like a prison, to meet up with Nino at the Louvre. Which had just added an entirely new exhibit dedicated to Ladybug and Cat Noir. He and Ladybug of course had been at the official grand opening obviously, but this was his first time getting to see the exhibit as Adrien with his best bud.

He also wanted to make up for last Friday when he had failed to meet with him, Alya and Marinette for the movie. He had apologised for it of course but he still felt bad for it. But the deal with his father was that he could attend public school so long as it didn't interfere with his photoshoots, Chinese, piano, fencing and whatever else his father wanted him to do.

Nino said he needed to stick up for himself more around his dad, but he honestly didn't mind doing all those things. Sure he wasn't gonna be a model forever, he only did it to make his dad happy. That's why he did a lot of things for his father if he was honest with himself. To make his dad happy again, like he had been before his mother left. Ever since she did, his father has been more cold and distant than ever, not to mention overprotective. He hadn't even let him go to school because he thought it was too dangerous. Who knows what would happen if he found out that he was Cat Noir.

Being Cat Noir allowed him to get the freedom he craved as well as be the person he was inside, instead of always trying to be perfect. But even though he was a superhero he couldn't seem to fix his family which was pretty much broken.

He really missed his mom. If she were with them still, he knew everything would be better between him and his dad.

"Admit it you just wanted to go to the museum to look at the Ladybug statue." His Kwami Plagg then teased from under his jacket, causing him to look around in panic to make sure no one had seen or heard the little troublemaker. That was when Adrien noticed that the subway had arrived and was about to leave.

"Plagg! Stay quiet and out of sight! No one is supposed to see you!" Adrien then scolded the black cat Kwami quietly as he made a mad dash to catch the subway. He made it just in time thankfully he guessed he had been more spaced out than he had realised.

"I know, I know, but I couldn't just leave you spaced out while looking so depressed." Plagg then chided with him.

He was both annoyed and touched by this. Annoyed because Plagg had teased him about his crush on Ladybug as well as risked exposing himself to the public, but touched that his little friend had been worried about him. Yeah he and Plagg had an odd relationship, but he honestly would not have asked for a better friend or Kwami. Also if Plagg hadn't spoken up he would have missed his ride to the Louvre.

"Thanks Plagg, I'm okay now. I promise." He then told him as he slipped a piece of camembert under his jacket for Plagg to eat. The black cat kwami was practically a bottomless pit and all he ate was cheese, not just any cheese though, no this guy just had to have a taste for the smelliest kinds of cheese, which also happened to be the most expensive. At least money wasn't that much of an issue for him thanks to his dad.

But besides being a bottomless pit, Plagg like his name implied was nothing but trouble. Not only did he give him the power of destruction as Cat Noir but he was also very lazy and always getting into trouble. He even sometimes refused to help him transform into Cat Noir because he was too lazy. But Plagg wasn't all bad. He had his soft spots too, and he knew that deep down he really did care about him and his feelings. As he had shown multiple times. And when it came down to it he had to admit that besides Nino, Plagg was his closest friend.

As Plagg ate, Adrien busied himself on his phone as he waited to arrive at his destination. It took another twenty minutes or so but he finally made it to the Louvre where Nino was waiting for him outside.

"Dude you made it!" Nino called to him as he wrapped an arm around his shoulders, but it was then that Nino noticed one particular detail. "Wait where's your bodyguard? I thought he like never left your side. Except for school that is."

"Oh I gave him the slip." Adrien told him with a smirk.

"Seriously?! Dude how'd you pull that off?" Nino then asked him, he looked honestly shocked that he would do that.

"I have my ways." Was all he said.

In truth his way had been that after fencing and being taken home he put a recording on of him playing piano, before changing into Cat Noir and going out through the window. He had pulled this trick a few times, and had gotten caught once or twice but they still never checked on him to make sure he was actually practising so he could still pull it off. All he had to do was make it back home before dinner after all.

Nino just laughed and clapped him on the back a little harder than he had been expecting causing him to fall forward a little.

"I guess I'm a better influence than I thought if you're that bold." Nino told him with a chuckle.

"Yeah just don't tell my father, he's still not that happy with you and me being friends." Adrien chuckled.

"No worries there dude." Nino then said as they continued their way into the museum.

They were saving seeing the statues of Ladybug and Cat Noir till the end of their trip. The Statues were quite amazing but the small exhibit also included replica objects that represented where each akuma had been before Ladybug captured them, as well as pictures of every baddy they had fought so far.

Some were not so happy about this, namely Chloe, but others believed it could help them so they too would not become victims of Hawkmoth. He himself was currently looking at the display that had been made for Copycat. His least favourite villain. Though his miladybug would say that was only because he had made him look like a criminal.

The display had a newspaper clipping of ladybug in a glass case which is where his Akuma had been and a picture of his alter ego Cat Noir or what looked like Cat Noir anyway, as well as a picture of Theo. The young and talented artist that had made both the sculptures here in the museum as well as in a park. In all honesty the akumatisation was all his fault. He had made Theo jealous of him since he had a crush on Ladybug as well. Yeah it was his fault but that didn't mean he had to like the results of his mistake.

Adrien then looked over and saw Nino hanging his head as he looked at the display for the Bubbler. He winced thinking back to that one. That had all been his father's fault. All Nino had tried to do was be a good friend and convince his dad to let him have a party for his birthday. But his father had refused and then declared Nino a bad influence and didn't want him being friends with Nino anymore. Because of this he got annoyed that adults always told kids what to do. He then was akumatised into the Bubbler and sent all the adults into the sky with his giant bubble wand. All he could throw him a birthday party, only he had forced the people to attend the party, and was going to send anyone not having fun into the sky along with the adults.

Feeling bad for his friend, Adrien went and patted him on the shoulder.

"Come on Nino let's go see the statues of Ladybug and Cat Noir now." He told him as he steered him away from his dark side.

"Yeah...okay, thanks dude." Nino then told him as he let him his friend out. "You know Alya will probably just drag me back here again so she can get all this for her blog."

"Yeah I can see that." Adrien chuckled. "How're things going between you two anyways?"

"They've never been better! Well except for that whole Zombizou incident." Nino told him but Adrien smirked at him nonetheless.

"You say that like it was really such a sacrifice to be kissed and zombified by your girlfriend." He then teased. "You just didn't want her to kiss anyone else."

Nino's cheeks turned a bright shade of pink at his teasing. "Wh-what the DUDE!"

Adrien laughed at his expression. "Sorry man I couldn't help myself there!"

"I-I..um...w-well...um...th-there may actually be some truth to-to that b-but sh-shut up! A-and don't tell Alya that!" Nino then demanded.

"Oh I'm pretty sure she already knows buddy, but don't worry my lips are sealed." Adrien said as he smirked at him again.

"Y-yeah well they better be!" Nino then said with a 'hmph' before muttering something about how he was maybe too good an influence on him. They then continued on their way to the statues with Nino taking the lead and going on ahead of him. Adrien snickered as he did so cause he was sure his friend was still embarrassed about the teasing.

They were almost there when Nino suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at him weirdly. "U-uh you k-know I-I changed my mind l-lets l-look at the rest of the displays in here instead!"

"Huh? What? Why?!" Adrien then questioned not understanding why his friend's behaviour seemed to do a 180 on him.

"I-I uh just think w-we uh should finish looking in here before we see the statues is all! S-so let's go!" Nino then tried to pull him back the direction from which they came but Adrien wasn't having any of it. He planted his feet firmly on the floor making it hard to move him. He then tugged the arm Nino was holding back so his friend would look at him.

"Nino what's really going on? Tell me the truth." He then said in a serious tone.

"W-well um it-it's j-just that I-I saw Marinette-"

"Marinette? Well what are we waiting for then? Let's go see her! Alya is probably with her too after all!"

"W-wait! Adrien! No! You didn't let me finish!" Nino tried to call out to him but it was too late, he had already entered the room where the statues were. And that was where he saw what Nino had been trying to keep him from seeing.

It was Marinette with that guy from the music festival. What had been his name again? Puka? Juka? Luka? He was almost certain it was the last one...he had seemed like a really good guy but now that he was standing here and seeing him on what looked like a date with Marinette….well he didn't know how to feel.

Marinette was wearing her usual outfit. A dark grey jacket over a white shirt with little pink flowers, pink capris and pink shoes. Her hair style was the same as well in her cute pigtails...wait did he just say cute?

She was also acting all flustered and shy around this Luka guy, but she seemed to be having fun as well. Luka was smiling and chuckling at her cute antics...he had just said it again. What was going on with him?

As the gothic boy put his arm around Marinette and pulled her close for some selfies, Adrien then decided to walk away before he did interrupt their date with his glare. True he didn't know for sure that it was a date but why else would she be here alone with him? And acting so cute around him? More importantly...why did he care so much? And why did he keep calling Marinette cute?!

At first when he had seen them he had felt shocked, numb even but now….he felt a jumble of emotions. Annoyed, confused, as well as...jealous? Envy even? That Marinette looked like she was having fun with someone who was not him. It didn't make much sense to him. After all Marinette was just a friend...right? Yet seeing Marinette with that guy made his heart hurt, and made his head all the more confused.

He couldn't sort this out, not right now. His brain may as well be a pinball machine with all the things that were going on in his head. He didn't even notice as Nino tried to catch up with him as he walked out of the Louvre and started his way back home. He could hear his friend calling out to him telling him to wait up but he just couldn't do it. He didn't want to talk about what he saw all he wanted was to be alone. Without even thinking about it he went and hid behind a building before changing into Cat Noir.

Jumping from rooftop to rooftop he made his way over to a building that looked out over the river. He didn't want to go home just yet so he decided to try and calm his mind first. But all looking at the river did was remind him of Marinette's bright blue eyes and dark blue hair and how cute she looked next to that guy that wasn't him.

"What's going on? Why am I thinking about Marinette when I'm in love with Ladybug?" He then asked himself as he let out a frustrated sigh. It seemed this was going to take longer to figure out than he thought.

TO BE CONTINUED...

WHOO! I did it! Another chapter done!

Again sorry this took so long everyone it's just I have little time to write nowadays what with taking care of my mom, doing housework, cooking, but I guess I shouldn't bore you with the details that is my life.

Anyway did you enjoy this chapter and seeing the many sides of Adrien? I know I did. I loved writing from his perspective mostly because I love his character a little more than I like Marinette's.

And before you ask yes I am going to be working Troublmaker and Reverser into this fanfic since I had started writing this before those episodes aired. Though because of this I will have to change up Troublemaker just a bit. But that won't be till after the next chapter so I don't have to worry about it too much yet.

Anyway Next time Adrien will get advice from an unlikely source. And Marinette will be giving the dets to Alya, cause you know, Nino blabbed. Lol.

Until next time everyone I wish you a Miraculous day!
