As expected his dad had chewed him out for ditching his photoshoot despite the Akuma attack, Perhaps that was to be expected if there was one thing Gabriel Agreste couldn't be accused of it was nepotism, He treated Adrien just as badly as his other employees. The Photoshoot had been rescheduled over his free time, Time he had been planning to spend with Nino, Nino hadn't exactly been thrilled to receive the news. It was just past 11pm and his Father hadn't spoken to him since he had gotten back home.
"So Kid you said you wanted to go for a late night stroll right?" Plagg questioned as he headed over to Adrien. "Well it ain't getting much Later than this" Plagg Landed on Adrien's shoulder turning his attention away from his phone.
"That's new" Adrien turned to Plagg placing his phone down on the table handing the kwami a wedge of camembert "You usually never wanna go out especially not this Late" Adrien said.
Plagg simply shrugged in response. "Well you said you wanted to go out and you wouldn't forget, I'd Rather you go out now and get it over with rather than suddenly decide to go when I'm half asleep." He threw the cheese in the air and caught it in his mouth. "So if you're gonna go, go now" Plagg spoke with his mouthful to Adrien's slight disgust but he was right.
"Good Point. Plagg Claws Out!"
Kagami's Day since the Akuma Attack had been as uneventful as always her dinner with Marinette had been interrupted and her mom had pretty much demanded she come home straight after the Akuma Attack and now she was just alone, in her room, as usual. Her visit from Chat Noir had been a nice change of pace but if her mom had found out about that her window would probably get a lock.
She heard a knock on her window and saw a familiar pair of Peridot eyes which she immediately recognised and she opened the window to let him in "Chat Noir? I didn't realise you'd be back, not that I mind." she stepped back as he climbed in through the window.
"Well I figured you might want to know. I took your advice and talked to Ladybug and I kinda owe you for hearing me out before. I could return the favour if you need someone to talk to about anything." Chat offered sitting down next to Kagami.
Kagami thought for a moment, she had wanted to talk to Marinette but their conversation had been cut short. Chat wasn't her first choice but he was here so why not? "Well I guess I could use someone to talk to, Well about 2 weeks ago I broke up with my boyfriend Adrien and well I didn't handle it very well, I've kinda ignored him since, perhaps not the healthiest reaction but I wasn't really thinking straight." She looked over to Chat as she finished Noticing him tense.
"Are you Okay Chat?" She question causing Chat to jump slightly
"Oh yeah I'm fine. It just seems a little personal" He went to scratch the back of his neck but stopped himself. It was sort of a nervous tick of his and he didn't need Kagami noticing similarities between him and Adrien.
"Relax, I wouldn't tell you if I wasn't comfortable with it, you're easy to talk to" She sighed softly before continuing. "I broke up with him because he was always lying to me, it's not like I thought he was cheating. He's not the type to do that but I don't think he was serious about our relationship, he missed most of our dates and he was hiding something from me." Hearing her say this really put it into perspective he knew he'd been a terrible boyfriend but hearing her say it made him feel worse.
"He sounds like… kind of a jerk. Why did you like him in the first place?" Part of him felt low for asking this but a louder part of him desperately wanted to know.
"He isn't a jerk!" She snapped before covering her mouth. "Sorry it's just, yeah there's times where he annoys me, but he has his good points too. How do I put this… There's no real reason why I liked him. I just did and well… he's the only one I can fight seriously against" She clenched her fist looking over to her fencing gear.
"That Figures" Adrien thought to himself before being brought back to reality by Kagami's Voice.
"I talked to him recently, I told him I wasn't ready to be friends but I want to be, and the worst part is… Even though I broke up with him I still like him. Isn't that pathetic?" Kagami's voice broke as she looked down.
"Not at all." Chat paused for a moment. To think. "All right I'm gonna show you something but you can't tell anyone okay?" Kagami nodded hesitantly, not really sure what he meant. "Alright then wait here I shouldn't be long" Chat let himself fall back out of the window before vaulting away on his staff he was right about not being long he was back from wherever he went in just under ten minutes holding a black bag.
"Here you go" Chat unzipped the bag and dropped it on her bed, Scraps of paper, CD's Who still uses CD's? And what looked like recipes? "What is all this stuff"
"Glad you asked, Everyone in Paris knows I like Ladybug Right?" Chat held up a couple pieces of paper "These are some poems I've written for her." He flipped through a notepad to a recipe page "I even had a meal planned for our first date" Chat continued before picking up the CD's "And these are the songs i'd play while we go for a drive, of course I don't have a license i'm not old enough, but I have a playlist for every season" Only after saying it out loud did he notice how desperate all this made him look.
"A-Anyway since she's turned me down countless times all I can do is imagine it's a little Pathetic I know but i'm not ashamed and you shouldn't feel ashamed either."" Chat Noir put the CD's down before noticing how close he was to Kagami and backing up a little.
"Y-you didn't just sit around fantasizing about the guy you actually did something, Be confident, think happy thoughts, you should be more optimistic" Chat finished and to his surprise Kagami Laughed at him.
"I am sorry really just that was so cheesy" Chat pouted as she laughed at him before she placed a hand on his shoulder "Thanks though Chat you really cheered me up knowing we're both a mess makes me feel a little better about my situation"
"Guess we're both pretty hopeless huh?" Chat Laughed softly before pulling Kagami into a brief hug "Glad I could be of assistance but I'm afraid I've gotta bounce this Chat has gotta get up early tomorrow" he picked up his stuff as well as his bag. "I'll catch you later Miss Tsurugi" he bowed before kissing the back of her hand.
Kagami was taken off guard by the gesture and before she could come up with a response Chat had vanished into the night sky, Kagami stared for a moment at the hand Chat had kissed, the butterflies in her stomach and the blush that slowly crept onto her face were things she hadn't experienced since her first Date with Adrien, She hoped deep down this wouldn't be his last visit She knew she still liked Adrien but Chat… Now she felt something for Chat Noir as well something small but impossible to ignore.
