"Okay dude," Nino spoke, slipping onto the bench beside Adrien. "What's her name?"

Startled, Adrien looked away from his phone and at Nino. "Huh?"

"You've been staring at your phone all day. I haven't seen you smile this much since that app, Neko Atsume, first came out."

A light blush coated Adrien's cheeks. He hadn't realized he'd been so transparent.

Last night, he'd finally managed to get his Lady to exchange her number with his-he'd had to buy each of them a new cellphone, but that hardly mattered when he could now text her whenever he wanted.

"Seriously!" Nino snapped his fingers in front of Adrien's face. "I've never seen you act like this. This girl has got to be amazing."

"She is. Adrien replied, his mind flooding with Ladybug. "She's the kindest person I've ever met, bending over backward to help people. She never says no. It doesn't matter who's asking or what they want her to do, she'll do everything she can to do it for them. And if she can't do that, she'll come up with something else. There's no one as smart or as creative as she is. It blows my mind the ideas she comes up with. Give her a problem and she'll come up with a solution in less than a minute."

Adrien,caught up in his description of Ladybug, missed the way Nino's eyes traveled from his to somewhere behind him.

"Selfless, kind, smart, creative..." He murmured. "Anything else?"

"She's completely gorgeous too. I don't think I've met anyone who's looks even come within a fraction of hers." Adrien sighed, "sometimes I think I could drown in her eyes. They're bluer than the Seine and deeper than the ocean. Everything she feels or thinks, you can see it all in her eyes."

"Sounds like you've got it bad." Nino said, clasping a hand on Adrien's shoulder. "Good news is: Marinette's got it just as bad, if not worse."

Whipping his head around, Adrien followed Nino's gaze to where Marinette and Alya sat half a dozen feet away.

"It's not..."Adrien started, but, suddenly, Marinette's eyes rose to meet his and he felt his heart stop.

Had her eyes always been that exact shade of blue? How many times had he looked her in the eyes and wondered why they seemed so familiar?

"Dude," Nino laughed. "You're freaking her out."

Sure enough, Marinette's face had gone bright pink and she was smiling nervously.

Forcing his gaze away, Adrien turned back to his phone. "Holy shit."


A/N: Certainly not my best work, but it's short and I like it enough to share! Let me know what you all think and if you have any special requests!
