It was Friday afternoon, Adrien had been required to attend a photo shoot at the Eiffel Tower straight after school meaning he was unable to hang about after classes. Nino shouted after his friend but got a look of disapproval from Adrien's minder Nathalie. It was difficult to get past the walls which had been built up and reinforced for so long by his father, much to the dismay of Adrien and his friends.

"Don't worry Nino," Alya had seen the familiar look of disappointment on her boyfriend's face all too many times. "You'll see him on the weekend, hopefully tomorrow," she added with a positive tone, hoping to lighten his mood.

"I don't know Alya," He doubted. His head was down as he fiddled with his head phones. "He has no freedom, as soon as he tries to pull away he is put back inline twice as hard as the last time." Nino looked hopeless at the spot where Adrien's car had been, wishing hid friend had a little bit more free time to be a teenager.

"No wonder he called things off with Kagami." Marinette despairingly whispered to herself, it did not go unnoticed. Alya looked at Marinette with a kindness in her eyes.

"I'm sure he'll get free from this strict routine one day," still with positivity in her voice, Alya winked at Marinette. "Hey Nino, isn't that Adrien's book you've got there?"

"Uhh-yeah, how did that happen?" He seemed confused, looking at the item in question amongst his own books in his arms.

"Oh dam!" Alya said with feigned exclamation, "looks like you're gonna have to drop it off for him." She looked at Marinette with a twinkle in her eye, "and you Marinette aren't you heading to the Eiffel Tower too...for that thing..." Alya was up to her old match maker ways.

"I am? Oh I am!" Marinette's confusion turned to enthusiasm when she got the gist of Alya's hint.

"And as you two are going in that direction I may as well come along for the exercise," the three of them had a chuckle and the friends headed off to find Adrien. They hoped they could at least bring a smile to his face, while he was going through the motions of being one of Paris' top models.

"Time to de-evilise" with a swoosh of her yo-yo, Ladybug caught the Akuma and released the butterfly. "Bye bye little butterfly," Ladybug threw her lucky charm in the air, "Miraculous Ladybug!"

The damage to the surrounding area was restored and our heroes, Lady bug and Cat Noir, did their celebratory fist bump. "Pound it!" They celebrated another victory in unison.

"M'Lady, what would I do with out you?" Cat Noir looked at her with a flirtatious twinkle in his eye. Comically swooning with one hand splayed over his chest.

'He hasn't called me that for a while.' Ladybug mused to her self with a slight blush on her cheeks at the affectionate nickname.

"We'd be lost without each other Kitty," Ladybug replied, with an appreciative look on her face and giggled.

'Did I just call him Kitty? I haven't done that for a while either!' Ladybug surprised herself, as she flirtatiously flicked his bell unexpectedly. 'What am I doing?' she shook the moment away as she caught Chat's surprised reaction to her gesture.

'Did she just ring my bell?' Chat felt the affection he held for Ladybug swell in his chest, the look of surprise instantly replaced by an affectionate smile. His soft green eyes focusing on her oceanic blue orbs as he leaned on his stick. "M'Lady, how you complete me," he gestured to her with a bow, lightly reaching for her hand and kissing the back of her knuckles softly. "See you tonight for patrol?" The charmer that was Chat Noir, winked up at Ladybug.

'Oh this is just like old times!' Ladybug felt her face flush a deep shade of rouge, hoping her mask would hide it efficiently.

"You'll see me later Kitty, Bug out." She smiled sincerely at him him and made her exit, throwing out her yo-yo and disappearing over the roof tops. 'Oh man! What is going on?'

"It's a date M'Lady," he whispered after her, and he exited the scene leaving the crowd who had congregated around them behind.
