When Marinette became ladybug for patrol that night, she decided to stop by adrien's.
Hawkmoth hadn't been active for a while.
But…
She and chat noir did patrol just in case.
But tonight was a quiet night.
And it should be fine.
And..
She felt bad about what her family had done.
When she leapt in through an open window, adrien jumped up.
He did a good job of hiding his tears.
But she saw his pain.
She walked over and gave him a hug.
He looked surprised until she explained
"It looked like you needed it."
She sat down next to him and let him rest his head on her shoulder.
And just like that…
A friendship was born.
