Sorry it took so LONG for this chapter!! I was at a roadblock. I KNEW where I wanted the story to go. Even have full chapters written for the middle and the end of the story, but I just couldn't figure out how to GET there, and nothing I thought of seemed to fit.That and having 3 kids under 7 doesn't give alot of spare time!Long story short, I've figured out a way around my block, and good to go! Sorry it's a short chapter! Enjoy
Also, it occurred to me I should have said a bit about this story. Aged up. Adrien did not attend school with Marinette, and remained home schooled. But still childhood friend of Chloe.

Chat hadnt brought anything new to try for the last few days, since Ladybug was still so enthralled with designing. She doodled in her sketchbook for the majority of her days when he wasn't there. And alot when he was, too!
Which didn't bother his one little bit.
So when he arrived this morning to see her, still drawing in the sketchbook, he couldn't help but smile. She absolutely had to have been doing something about those, before her accident. There was just no way someone that good wasn't USING It somehow! And with his own father being famous fashion designer Gabriel Agreste, he should know a bit about it!!
"Good morning purrincess, " Chat greeted happily as he walked towards the chair she was sitting in by the window.
Her hair was down today, framing her face, and the light coming in through the window seemed to make it glow. She looked completely out of place in the boring pale green hospital gown and pants, one leg crossed over the other. Too calm and serene to be in such dull attire.
So far, there hadn't been any news. No missing persons with her description. No answers to the bulletins for a found female of her description. If it wasn't for not knowing who she was, she wouldn't still be here.
Looking up from her book, Ladybug had a smile on her face.
"Hello kitty."
Chat raised a single brow in response to her nickname for him, making her giggle, before going back to her sketching. She looked so beautiful. He still couldn't get over it.
She didn't belong here anymore. Her positivity and creativity seemed so at odds with the sterility of the hospital she was forced to stay in. She should have been going home by now, but couldn't. She didn't even know where home was!
There was only so much he could do for her here.
Sure, he could continue to bring in outside things, but there was only so far that could go. And it would only help her to know more about the person she was. It didn't help. Bring back. Memories.
She needed to go out. See and be seen.
But she didn't have a home. Or rather, didn't know where home was!
But he had one.
And, amazingly enough, it wasn't with his dad!! He had finally put his foot down and moved out when he turned 20. He had done the Business courses his father had asked of him, to be prepared to take over the business if something happened before he found a successor. At least he had FINALLY accepted that he wouldn't just take it over from him.
He had been speechless when his wishes had been accepted.
He was sure his chin had hit the floor! And had just stood stock still, unable to move.
Until Natalie had elbowed him in the ribs.
Needless to say, his father had bought and paid for the little 4 bedroom home he lived in. He had argued he could just get an apartment, and that he could pay for it himself, but his father had been adament. If he was so set on moving out, it would be where father was certain of the security and neighbours.
So naturally, that meant it was a block away from his father's own estate.
But it was ok. He could live with that. It was a small price to pay for his freedom.
So, to circle back, he had PLENTY of room for Ladybug to be able to stay with him.
The more he thought about it, the more he was convinced it was the purfect solution!!
Taking the seat across from Ladybug, he rested his elbows on his knees and leaned forward.
"I just had the most purrfect idea!"
