Adrien woke up early even for him, well he didn't wake up per se more like he was woken up, he found himself face to face with plagg and he didn't exactly look too happy with him. Wondering what he had done this time he sat up rubbing his eyes. "Plagg it's four in the morning… What's with that look? You Told me to go out."
"Yeah I did, but I never told you to go and Visit Kagami aren't you supposed to be over her?" Plagg questioned as he flew a little too close to Adrien's face causing him to back up a little. "You really aren't acting like it"
"Of course I'm over her. What makes you say that?" Plagg knew Adrien could be dense when it came to relationships but this was extreme even for him were he big enough he would shake some sense into him.
"Are. You. Serious!? You go over there in the middle of the night and have a heart to heart with her about your mutual bad luck in love, you get all cosy with her while showing her romantic poetry" Plagg flew around for a few seconds mostly out of frustration. "and then as if that wasn't telling enough you lovingly kiss the back of her hand before disappearing into the night" He finished in a mocking tone looking back at his holder.
"The way I see it there are two options: you aren't over her and going as Chat is your excuse to talk to her or if you are over her then you're doing this to make sure she never gets over you, and if it's option number two you can return my miraculous right now." Plaggs words were harsh of course but it did make Adrien realise something, was he just making things worse with his visits? Toying with Kagami's feelings?
"No I would never, I'm not trying to mess with her emotions" Plagg didn't seem convinced but he dropped the topic for now he'd said what he wanted to, He knew Adrien wasn't the type to manipulate Kagami, he'd mainly said that to shock him into realising what he was doing.
Adrien knew if he tried to go back to sleep now he'd just oversleep so he decided to get up not that he could sleep even if wanted to now, He couldn't stop thinking about what Plagg had said to him.

Kagami had spent most of the night trying to rationalise her newfound feelings for Chat Noir, on the one hand he was a cute blonde boy, who wore tight leather and went around saving people it's not like she'd be the first girl in Paris to have a crush on him though still she knew it was ultimately hopeless.
One obvious problem Chat Noir liked Ladybug, they were on rocky terms at the moment but he definitely still liked her. The second problem was she didn't know who he was under the mask and dating a superhero wasn't Realistic and Finally, a lot of Paris already thought of Ladybug and Chat Noir as a couple. She didn't need people accusing her of stealing him from Ladybug.
She could ignore it, it's not like she saw him that often and it was just a small crush she could get over it, Given Time. Right Just like you're over Adrien A voice inside mocked though she Ignored it, her schedule was almost as packed as Adrien's between her studying and Fencing Practice she barely had time for herself. She'd practice her drawings when she could but she had to hide them from her mother.
How a blind woman knew that her drawings weren't good enough was beyond Kagami, but she really didn't feel like arguing with her mother. She'd done a couple sketches of Chat Noir while she should have been sleeping but really she couldn't show them to anyone.
Pushing her thoughts aside for the moment She got up and got ready. it was Sunday so Her fencing wasn't until the afternoon though that didn't mean she had time to herself no Kagami always had to be doing something productive if she wasn't then she was 'Wasting time' as her mother put it, she knew her mothers heart was in the right place but it was too much.

Adrien didn't exactly enjoy photoshoots but he didn't exactly hate them either, that said right now he was just hoping for this to be over as soon as possible, He was missing fencing for this and his irritation was apparently obvious to the photographer.
Something about Pasta or anger Adrien wasn't really paying attention to, he was just going through the motions, hoping to get this done as soon as possible. Once the photographer had declared what they had as good enough. The ride home was pretty quiet. Adrien didn't feel like talking and he'd never even heard the gorilla talk, he wasn't completely sure he could.
Almost as soon as he got home he went to his room. His father had cancelled his fencing, something about scheduling conflict, but he was fairly sure he could make it for the latter half of the lesson if he left now. "The miraculous isn't for trivial stuff like this kid" Plagg complained, earning a sigh from Adrien.
"Oh come on Plagg, we've used it for a lot less and since when did you care about the rules anyway?" Plagg couldn't really argue that point, whenever someone was suspicious of Adrien It was normally his fault not Adrien's.
Plagg conceded and with a flash of green light Adrien was transformed and out the window. He jumped across the rooftops to try and get to his class before it ended but no luck Unfortunately he arrived just in time to see Kagami leaving and curiously no car to pick her up.
Paris's favourite/Only cat themed superhero certainly couldn't let her wait alone this late! Or so he told himself really it was just an excuse to go and talk to her. He gracefully leaped down from his perch Landing just in front of her. "Isn't it a little late to be out here by yourself?" Paris wasn't exactly a safe place to be at night all though neither were most big cities.
Kagami was a little surprised to see him but she did her best not to show it."Well my normal driver wasn't available and supposedly my mother found a replacement though if she has, he is yet to show up" She had her doubts they would at this point, her mother wouldn't exactly be thrilled if she walked home but it didn't seem like she had much choice.
"Well I could walk you home if you want, nobody's gonna mess with you if you've got Paris's best superhero escorting you." Chat jokes, looking quite proud of himself for the moment. "Oh really? You're gonna get Ladybug to escort me?" Kagami teased as Chat faked offence at her comment. "But really i'll be fine and besides I've got this" She said holding up her rapier, Adrien wasn't gonna argue with that, he'd seen her try to take on Akumatized villains so he knew she wasn't the type to back down.
"How about I bring you home? I could get you there much faster than you can walk so long as you aren't afraid of heights" Kagami was about to decline until he asked her about a fear of heights she wasn't afraid of heights but she saw the question as a challenge. Kagami nodded before Chat noir picked her up Bridal style and jumping to the nearest rooftop Kagami found herself holding on much tighter than she intended; it only took them a couple minutes to get home and Chat noir let her down at her front door. "Thank you for choosing Air Chat Noir Paris's fastest transportation for… a Year? Year and a Half? however long i've had this thing"
"Your such a dork" Kagami dead panned as she went about fixing her hair it was more than a little messed up from jumping around the city once she was done, She did something Bold, well for her anyway she gave Chat Noir a quick kiss on the cheek, It was a quick kiss not even a full second, Chat didn't even realise she'd done it until she pulled away. "Thanks for the help Chat" She said before going inside leaving a slightly stunned Chat Noir. "No problem…" He just about managed to say before he vaulted away trying to distract himself from his thoughts. As much as he hated to admit it, Plagg was right he definitely wasn't over Kagami and he knew he'd never hear the end of it.
