(Saturday)
Ring Ring Ring. Turning off my alarm I let out a sigh of annoyance I forgot to turn my alarm off and now i'm up super early on a saturday, getting out of bed gently setting Pluto to the side as to not wake him up I walk over to my computer and turn it on opening the LadyBlog. Well nothing new except a thread where people are leaving comments on their experience with LadyBug, Cat Noir, and Ruff Rider, typing under the same pseudonym as before I start typing 'This one time I saw Ruff Rider without his shirt on and he was ripped like he must work out everyday' posting the comment I chuckle. That is until Alya leaves a comment 'Ruff Rider I have seen you eat countless macarons there is no way you ripped' typing back I respond 'How would you know you never seen me shirtless' I did not just post that...I did. 'Ruff Rider I bet i'm stronger than you are because I eat foods that are healthy' 'I once lifted a giant komodo dragon' 'Without your superpower' 'That sounds like a challenge' 'Meet me in the park and we can decide this once and for all.' As soon as the challenge was declared I transformed and rushed off to the park, arriving there I see Alya walking in the distance so I decide to meet her halfway smiling I greet her "Good morning Alya" I say when we finally reach each other "Good morning Ruff Rider, you know I didn't think you would be a morning person" as I got closer I noticed that Alya looked a little tired "Well usually i'm not but today was an exception, so what has you up this early" "Nothing" Alya says looking down at the ground. "Hey you can tell me, who would I tell" I say as I lead her to a bench so we can sit down. Alya sighs "I couldn't sleep" "What was keeping you up" "Just some post on the LadyBlog" "Can I see it" Alya took out her phone and showed me the post it was a picture of me as Ruff Rider and Alya talking with the caption 'Does the new guy have the owner of the LadyBlog wrapped around his finger' more like i'm wrapped around her finger. "Is this what had you up" "Yeah" "Don't pay it any mind people with think what they think and we can't stop them so we just have to ignore them" "I guess so" "If you're tired we can test how strong we are later" "No i'm good promise." "Okay so how are we going to do this" "Well I brought this blindfold that I can wear while we arm wrestle" "So we're going to arm wrestle" standing up I take her hand and lead her to a secluded area where no one will see us "Is the blindfold on" "Yeah" detransforming I turn around and see she did have the blindfold on. Finding a flat surface we get ready to arm wrestle "Let's make this interesting whoever wins gets to tell the other what to do" "Deal" "Alrighty then 3.2.1" Alya starts off with the advantage but I quickly stop it and I am about to win when I decide that maybe winning isn't everything. Deciding to let her win I slowly let her take the advantage until my hand is touching the table "Ha I win" "To think Ruff Rider beat at arm wrestling" I say smiling because Alya seems to be happy. "You let me win didn't you" "What no you beat me fair and square" "Sure but I still one so go ahead and transform so I can take this blindfold off" "Time to Play" as Alya takes off the blindfold it uncovers a slight blush.
"First order of business you are to take me to the Eiffel Tower so I can get some good photos for the blog" "They won't just be good they'll be great" I say as I scoop Alya up into my arms "Hey what are you doing" "Well you did say I was to take you there so that's what i'm doing" "Ruff Rider put me down" Alya says with mock annoyance before laughing behind her hand. "When we get there of course I will" running out of the park with Alya in my arms I jump on top of a nearby building "Can't we just take the streets" "If you want to get everyone's attention yes" Alya going red in the face suddenly remembering that other people could see them says "The roof is fine." I am so lucky that I have a mask or you could use the heat coming from my cheeks to warm up all of the antarctic is one of the few thoughts I have on the way there, arriving at the Eiffel Tower I jump to the ground and set down Alya "Okay Ruff Rider stand right there" Alya says pointing at the ground. Walking over to the spot I strike a pose as Alya takes some photos "Ruff Rider do you have to be so hero like just be yourself" standing with my regular posture Alya takes some more pictures "These are much better" "Hey Alya I want to show you something" I say motioning for her to follow me, as we get closer to the Eiffel Tower I point out a dent "I did that" "You dented the Eiffel Tower" "Yes I did and LadyBug and Cat Noir saw the whole thing from up there" I say pointing to the top "Up there, tourist aren't even allowed up there" "You know I can get you up there" "Really that would be amazi" before she could even finish the sentence she was in my arms and already up half-way the Eiffel Tower. Reaching the top I set her down and gesture to all of Paris "You can see everything it's so beautiful" Alya says awe struck by the view "It's not the only thing that's beautiful" I mutter "What was that Ruff Rider" Alya says looking at me "Ah...I said yeah the view is beautiful" "Ruff Rider are you okay your face is kind of red" "I'm fine it must be the sun." "We should take a selfie from up here, it would be the selfie to end all selfies" "Okay" standing next to Alya I put two fingers behind her head giving her bunny ears after she takes the picture she looks at the result and laughs "What are you five" "No but i've been told i'm a pretty fun guy" "I think I could just sit here and look at the city for the rest of the day" Alya says sitting down "Me too" I say sitting down next to her. "Hey Ruff Rider what's your name" "You know I can't answer that" "Did you finish the math homework" "We had homework" I say not remembering any getting assigned "Guess we're in the same class" "You did not" "I just did" "Alya you are good at your job" "Who said I was asking because of my job." Alya laying her head on my shoulder closes her eyes and falls asleep, I guess she was more tired than she was letting on...did she push off going to sleep to hang out with me. Gently picking her up I jump to a building over and start towards her house making sure not to wake her, reaching her home I drop down to her window and nudge it open stepping inside I spot her bed and set her down. About to leave I hear Alya "Thanks for taking me home" "Any time remember if you ever want to talk just" "Post on the LadyBlog I know" Alya says hiding her blush underneath a pillow "See you next time Alya" "See you" jumping out the window glad for the gentle breeze that accompanied this afternoon because my face feels like it is on fire. "Ruff Rider what were you doing in Alya's bedroom" someone yells at me turning to look I see a fuming Marinette "Hangin out" "Hangin out she didn't answer her phone once and I come all this way just to see you climbing out her window" "Marinette it's okay come inside and I will tell you all about it" Alya calls from her window after hearing the commotion outside. "Alya this better be good" "Trust me it is" as Marinette walks inside I run as fast as I can running to the park in what is probably record time. Detransforming I head home with Pluto "I thought you were going to be a goner when Marinette started yelling at you" "Yeah, she was probably just worried about Alya though so I won't take it to heart" "Caleb can I have some meat" "Always thinking about meat aren't we" I joke as I hand Pluto some beef jerky "This isn't as good as fresh meat and you know that" "Well I would rather have jerky in my pocket then smell like meat all the time." Getting home I go to bed. Reflecting on today's events.
This may be home now but I still have a long way to go.
