NOTE: I can't think of a title for chapter 2 so bear with it.


Chapter 2:

"C'mon Ladybug, isn't it a masterpiece?" Chat asked as he spins his leather tail, he was gazing at his lady lovingly.

"Yeah it is, basically it's just a paper with a big pink heart drawn in it," Ladybug said sarcastically, pretending to look amazed at the simple drawing. "Definitely a masterpiece from a four year old kid."

"That is how the size of my heart is beating for you." Chat said flirtatiously, completely ignoring Ladybug's sarcasm.

The beeping of both miraculouses was heard and the two superheroes exchanged looks.

"Well, milady, it looks like our time's up, can I catch a glimpse of your face without your mask?" Chat asked with a bow.

"No!" Ladybug yelled irritably but smiled in the end with a soft giggle. "See you next akuma attack Chat." And she flew away with her yo-yo, leaving the cat behind.

"Of course you'll say that," Chat mumbled to himself. He was standing in an empty rooftop so it's safe for him to revert back to normal. "At least, she kept the paper." And there stood Adrien.

"There's a question…" Plagg began as he followed Adrien going down the building they are in.

"And what's that?"

"Will she keep it?"

"Of course she'll keep it."

"She might throw it."

"Ladybug's not that kind of person, shut up!"

Plagg snickers. "I'm just saying Adrien. It's not wrong to guess."

The boy glared at his kwami one last time and invited him to hide in his white shirt. The kwami done so and Adrien ran outside going to the park. Today is Saturday after all, meaning he's going to hang-out with his three friends, meaning he's going to help Nino's lovelife, meaning he's a part of the double date the four of them plan the other day.

The boy was too determined to go to the park that he didn't notice the blue-haired girl in pigtails is running along with him in just a few inches away. He was too worried that he's going to be the last person to arrive.

"You two are late as usual." Alya said with her arms crossed and lightly stomping her feet as she and Nino watched their two friends catch their breaths.

"Yeah Marinette, I can see why Adrien have to be late but girl, you're house is like right there." Nino said pointing at the bakery. "And saying overslept is not option, it's already noon."

"Well, I was watching Ladybug's fight that's why." Marinette excused making her bestfriend, Alya surprised.

"I almost forgot, how did it go?" Alya asked.

"They're successful of course!"

"Did you record it?"

"Alya, I'm no blogger, Just a spectator."

The boys on the other hand, watched how Alya sulk for missing the chance to witness Ladybug's fight and Marinette hugging her for comfort. They are silently watching them.

"So dude, what made you late? We're waiting 5 minutes ago." Nino asked.

"I was just making excuses to have my dad agree to this," he lied. The truth is, it's his surprise day-off today.

"Glad to hear your dad agrees."

"Well, you better tell your girlfriend to stop sulking for us to get going." Adrien whispered as they turned their attention back to the ladies.

Nino looked at him and raised a brow to Adrien. "My, aren't you interested? Don't worry bro, I'm sure your date with Mari is gonna as fantastic as my date with Alya." Nino then slid his arm around Adrien and gives him a thumbs-up. "I'm gonna make sure of it."

Adrien stared at his friend with a puzzled expression. "O…kay?" is his only response. "I was just curious at what you're planning, not the date itself."

"You cold-hearted being!" Nino gasped in a teasing manner as he quickly clutched his shirt and backed away.

"Don't say that," Adrien pouted. "I can hang out with Marinette anytime, right Marinette?" he then looked at the pig-tailed girl for support, hoping that she'll agree to his fact. Marinette however, was staring at him, gawking even. It took a few minutes for her to get to her senses and she nodded multiple times as an answer.

"Oh, well in that case, follow me and let's go!"

"An observatory?"

"Yeah, an observatory." Nino clarifies, looking at Marinette who asked at the corner of his eye. "They're having a show with neon lights and constellations but if you want, we can go to a movie."

Nino looked at his friends waiting for their answers. Alya shrugged and said she doesn't mind. After all her date was Nino and he has plans for the day and she don't want to take over it.

Adrien however, looked at Marinette who's started to fidget. She was a little hesitant of going.

"Do you want to see the neon lights Marinette?" he asked leaning down a little to see her face. "I can go with Marinette anywhere she likes," Marinette looked at him surprisingly. "Since Alya and Nino are the main couple here."

"I-I'm fine a-anywhere." Marinette stuttered.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"You guys go to the neon lights and me and Marinette are off to the movies, sounds good?" Adrien suggested then winked at Nino as he put his arm around Marinette's shoulder.

"DUDE!" Nino yelled grabbing the boy and pulled him away. "Dude, you're not gonna leave me like this again. You're my wingman!"

"Look, alone time with Alya is good. Remember in the zoo, when you told me Ladybug trapped you two alone in the cage and suddenly you're going out. A date is alone time with special one right? No wingman, no third wheel."

"Heard of the word DOUBLE. DATE?" he whisper yell.

"Yeah, I know the word, we're just going different places." Adrien muttered lazily. "Besides, what's your deal? I like to watch a movie." He then pouted as he removed Nino's grip.

Nino glared at him furiously.

"Well, that settles then," Adrien concluded as he pushed Nino to Alya. "You guys go to your gig and we'll go to ours and maybe we'll meet for snacks later." He bid goodbye and dragged Marinette to the movies.

Once they arrived, the boy looked at Marinette worriedly, she's been frozen since. "You okay?" Adrien asked worriedly putting his hands at her shoulders. Marinette flinched because of his touch and looked at him at the eye with surprise.

"What just happen? I thought we're gonna go with them?" Marinette asked very surprised.

Adrien just chuckled as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry about that Marinette for dragging you into this."

"No, it's f-fine, it's just we left them." She said blankly. "Why did we left them?"

"I just want them to have some alone time that's all, do you know what Nino needs?"

"Confidence to be alone with Alya?"

"Exactly!" Adrien yelled. He then looked at the girl curiously. "How do you know that?"

"I-it's obvious, He asked me some advice yesterday so I suggested for him to ask Alya out." Adrien gave her a confused look and she noticed this right away. A blush appeared on her cheeks. "But I'm did not suggest to have a double date!"

"I know," Adrien said as he chuckles. "Nino always invites me to this kind of stuff."

"And Alya always drags me along when you're around."

"What? Really?"

There was a moment of silence between them, both eyes are staring one another. Marinette was unable to move and Adrien was waiting for her answer to know why Alya is dragging her along everytime Alya is with him.

"I wonder why?" Adrien wondered aloud as he smirked, thinking of reasons why she would do that. He then noticed Marinette's surprised and a bit disappointed, making him want to take back his smirk and starts to wave his hands in frustration. "Not that I'm saying I don't like to be with you Marinette—umm…I like to be with you, I'm just curious, don't be offended."

The girl just blinked and grinned. "Don't worry I'm not," she said and faced the movie house to check the available movies. "So what do you want to watch?"

Adrien stepped forward and joined her. "I don't know, anything romantic I guess since you girls like it."

"Eww…no! Do you like to watch a movie with people snogging at their seats?" Marinette rambled as she sticks her tongue out.

"No, definitely not!" Adrien said as he shivers. "Sorry I suggested that."

"D-Do you like animation? I never watched this movie yet." She said pointing at a kid's movie.

"I don't mind, but is it a little childish?"

"I'm a kid's at heart." She shrugged shyly. "If you don't want to I guess let's pick ano—"

"No it's fine, let's go!" Adrien then grabbed her hand and dragged her to the movies they decided to watch.

Seating at their seats and having two bags of popcorn, they enjoy watching the movie. Adrien enjoys watching while Marinette is taking glances to the boy. She can't believe she's watching a movie with him.

"Say Adrien," she began her eyes are focused at the screen. "Shouldn't we just go to the observatory and just stalk their date?"

"Umm…" Adrien began nervously as he gulped the popcorn in his mouth. "To be honest, I wanted to watch a movie and this is the only opportunity I have." He slumped at his seat and looked at Marinette apologetically. "Sorry for dragging you."

Marinette looked at him and giggled, turning her attention to the screen. "No, it's fine I always wanted to see this movie so we're on the same page here."

Adrien smiled. "But if you want, we can tease them later," he suggested.

"Oh please, revenge is sweet." Marinette said as she grinned mischievously, thinking what teases will she give to her dear friend.

The four friends agreed they would meet up at a coffee shop at the district near where the theatre is at. Since Marinette and Adrien are just two blocks away, they're the first one to arrive to the said building. Adrien ordered a cup of coffee and Marinette offered a frappuccino, of course Adrien is the one who'll be paying and Marinette don't have any choice but to let him.

"I brought some croissants from the bakery." Marinette said as she opened her backpack and took the small box filled with the said bread. Adrien, on the other hand, couldn't help but smile as he gazed at the transparent box of croissants. It's been a week since he last tasted the goods in the local bakery.

"I think I have cookies as well," she added as she rummaged through her bag. "Let's see…"

"Can I have some?" Adrien asked innocently.

"Go ahead." she replied, still busy searching her bag. She took out every boxes inside. Her parents insisted to bring them.

Adrien happily opened each box as he stuffed his croissant in his mouth. A few boxes have their leftovers from the movie. It's like Marinette brought every product there is in their bakery. It was heaven for him to see such amount of bread and sweets in the table.

Nino and Alya finally arrived and joined their table; they ordered their drinks and joined. The two couldn't just interrupt how focused their two friends are. Adrien is busy eating and Marinette is still scavenging her bag as if emptying the whole content.

"You two seemed busy, do you guys enjoy your movie?" Alya asked watching Marinette's determined face. As for Nino, he watched Adrien eat with amazement.

Adrien looked at Alya and nodded, gulping his food before he starts talking. "Yep, it was fun, how about you, did you enjoy your show?" he then looked at Nino. "Eat Nino, it's fine to eat what's on the table." Nino flinched and do what he's told.

"Yeah, it was simply AMA-ZING!" Alya said remembering the show. "You should've seen it!" she then took some cookies and shoves it on her own mouth.

"Marinette, there's enough food here don't go searching for more." Alya said worriedly.

"I'm almost finished, I—" Marinette stopped and looked at the nice folder filled with papers. As she browsed the content, something caught her attention and gazed at it. It was the drafts Adrien drew yesterday.

"Marinette, what you looking at, can I see?" Alya asked as she reached the papers Marinette was holding. Adrien quickly took a glimpse of the paper and noticed Alya reaching it so he quickly took the whole folder from Marinette's hands and hide it between their thighs. They stared at Adrien and his awkward composure.

"You okay dude?" Nino asked.

"Yeah," Adrien then leaned closer to Marinette and whispered to her ear. "Please don't tell about these drafts to anyone. Ever!"

Marinette looked down at the folder before staring at the boy's face. She nodded as a respond.

"What was the paper about?"

"Uhh..Notes! I accidentally put my notes in her bag yesterday." Adrien said with a little frustrated tone. Alya raised a brow at him with a smile on her face. Nino looked at Alya and Adrien.

"Are you sure it's notes? Not a love letter?" Alya teased with a sassy face. The blonde and blue haired then became flustered and Nino was silently laughing watching the reaction made by the two.

"No! it's not a love letter at all!" Adrien yelled.

"If it's not, can you show the notes?" Nino asked and the boy flinched.

"Here,"

Marinette's voice entered as she showed the first page of the content. Adrien on the other hand, froze at his seat looking at the girl with a terrified face. The page has words and even formulas from Mme. Mendeleiv's class. The blonde sighed in relief.


Adrien was lying on his bed checking his drawings that Marinette gave back, rereading his little comic about his fantasies with Ladybug as Adrien. He's a bit embarrassed by the fact that the girl read the draft but it's fine since they are both big fans of the heroine.

"Can you stop rereading your piece of paper? you've been reading the same pages for hours!" Plagg said before eating his little cheese.

"So?"

"It's pain in my eyes!"

"It's pain in my eyes to see you stare at the cheese all day." Adrien said with a grin on his face. He decided to organize his papers to separate his drawings from his notes. As he was organizing, he stumbled a paper with a heart drawn into it. He stared at it for minutes with Plagg staring at it as well.

"Hey, isn't that what you drew for Ladybug?" Plagg asked, tilting his head. "I told you she threw it."

The boy ignored him. "It can't be, maybe it's just a coincidence."

"Coincidence by how?"

"Maybe someone gave it to Marinette and she accidentally slipped it here along with my papers. It is from her bag after all."

"Yeah, sure, whatever, now give me my cheese."


"Can I help you Marinette? You've been staring at me for hours." Adrien asked as he looked at Marinette's pouted face. It's Monday and they're at school now. Marinette is standing in front of Adrien and Nino's desk for way too long.

"Can you give me my heart back?" she asked softly, looking straight into his eyes.
