Hey There! MoChi Here-

First , I want to state...that I am terribly sorrryyyyyyyyyyy that I didn't upload for like, a year ago. ( see what i did there? Happy new years LOL )

There was a lot of daily stress on school and people While on top of that, not feeling so well myself, so great start to a new year i know.

But I honestly love writing as much as I love drawing, although my writing is not as good as my art ;v; i admit... So do not worry, if i were to ever discontinue this, I won't make you wait however many weeks to announce that I'm not writing anymore.

Thus, lets get this show on the road.

Disclaimer: I Don't Own Miraculous Ladybug

Warning: The writing might seem a bit stiff as of now because I've writing bits and bits during my stressful time period that is still going on. But hey, I have break soon xD ~

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"you're not going to say goodbye to the others?" A voice spoke behind Adrien as he walked back into his black car. It was raining outside, a typical morning darkness in Paris.

"Father said not to bother with telling everyone. It would only cause inconvenience" He responded with a sad smile. Nino stood at his door way, folding his arms.

"What about her?" He asked. Silence hung.

"Even if i could, I don't think I can bring up the courage to say it to her" He paused. "I'll see you on the flip, Nino."

The car doors close.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

A full minute could have passed by now, but the two seemed to have continued to look into each other's eyes. Mari was the first to back away.

"Ah, Excuse me" She backs away from him after setting down the food. "I didn't mean to stare" She gave a bow of apology.

"Oh, no no" Adrien waved his hands. "You just looked like someone I knew." He explained, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. Mari let out a light giggle.

"That's odd, I thought the same thing" She let out a sigh and looked at the seat opposite of him. "Waiting for someone?" Adrien nodded his head.

"Is it the person that looked like me?" She tilted her head with a laugh. He followed shortly after but shook his head.

"No, another friend of mine. He's working right now so I decided to wait for him here" He paused, " I must be taking your work time, I'm sorry"

Marinette waved her hands in the air. " Oh no, it's fine. Really" She beamed. " It's about time for my break anyways- " She looked at the seat. " Do you think your friend would mind if I sit in their seat?" He let out a small chuckle.

"He still have about an hour before he is done so I doubt he would mind." Adrien explained. "There is something I wonder about.." Marinette tilted her head. "Did you know a lot of blonde haired guys with green eyes? Because according to many people, it's pretty rare to have these colored eyes." He smirked

She folded her arms while tapping one finger on her chin. "Well, I don't know that much people with those traits, but" She stopped short while the image of the blonde boy cladded in a black spandex appeared in her mind. "I guess you can say this person's special in their own way" A light laugh followed after. "How about you? I don't run into a lot of black haired blue eyed girls often either, and I'm in new york"

He sighed with his mouth tugging into a smile. "Well, the person I know is just simply…" A flash of a young girl with black hair tied in low pigtails decorated in spots sat across from him."perfect." He quickly blinked the image away and continued. " But I haven't seen them in a very long time."

"I'm on the same boat as you" She lowered her gaze and smiled. "But I wouldn't say he was quite perfect per say..Unless you think corny jokes and 24/7 service of puns is to die for, I won't judge" she held up her hands in defence.

"But I can't espresso how important puns are" Adrien smirked, turning away and putting his cup of hot chocolate to his mouth. Marinette's mouth hung open.

"Please not you too" She dramatically placed her head down on top of her arms resting on the table.

"I bread your pardon! I do not mean to make you feel so...crummy " he lowered his head in front of hers. She instinctively covered her ears and threw herself back on the chair shaking her head.

"no no no! You stop that right now " She laughed. He joined her, resting his chin on his forearms looking up at her. "Out of curiosity, where are you from? You don't seem like a native in new york."

"Am I that transparent?" She threw her arms up." I'm here to finish college. Last year and I'm going back home- " Marinette clapped her hands together.

Adrien sat back up and smiled back "Early congratulations!"

"Back to paris" His eyes widen at the girl before him. 'No. Get a hold of yourself Adrien. She's gone. She could be just another person from paris, there's millions of people that lives there.'

The silence grew for a moment.

"Are you ok? " Marinette asked, "You seem like you've seen a ghost" He quickly shook it off.

"Just fine sorry, thinking back to something" She rose an eyebrow, but decided to not step into his personal space.

"So What are you doing in New York?" She asked back to him. He froze again.

I can't just tell her that I'm The Adrien Agreste here to do a movie. I'm not going to be able to go outside anymore after that. He thought.

"Came to visit, you can say" He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "I haven't had a lot of time to myself, so I decided to travel." Marinette's eyes sparkled

"You're really mature, huh. You're like the same age as me and you're already going on your own" She grinned. Adrien scuffed.

"I can barely finish school because of work. Dropped out of school in order to help my father run his company." He folded his arms. "Not as free as you think of me to be" He smirked.

"You don't sound like you dropped out of school" She examined him from head to toe. " In my opinion, I would think you graduated early and already the head of some facility already." She laughed.

"Oh lord, my work has taken away my youth! I turned from a guy in his early 20s to a man in his late 40s." He gasped, placing his forearm over his forehead and draping himself back on his chair while holding his chest with his other hand.

"Oh don't be so dramatic" She rolled her eyes at him. The two fell into another round of laughter before a certain ringtone sounded on the table. Adrien opened his phone to answer and almost automatically , his face turned grim.

"I see…." He sighed heavily. "Yes, I'll go immediately. I understand….good bye". The screen darkens and a long pause followed with tension building in the air. After a few minutes of composure, Adrien looks up to the girl in front of him and gave off a weak smile. "I'm sorry to have taken your lunch time."

Marinette shook her head. "It's fine, I had a great time talking to you" She chirped, hoping to bring back the mood he had seem to lost within a second into the phone call.

"Same here" This time, the smile came more naturally. "I'll definitely visit again!" And with that, he quickly threw his coat and shades on and paced to the door. Snow drifted on the black car that was opened and ready for him to slip into but a loud cry came from behind him.

"Wait!" The same dark haired girl ran towards him in the bare cold with only her work uniform. Adrien's eyes widened. "Y-You forgot this!" She said, catching her breath and in her hands is the sky blue scarf. In almost an instant, he grabbed her forward and hugged her tightly. "S-Sir?"

"Thank you Thank you" He let her go, wrapping the scarf around him. "I would have honestly gotten a heart attack if I found out I've lost it."

"I'm glad I made it on time" She laughed. The car flashed its headlights as if a sign to hurry. Adrien looked down to her and softly nudged her back towards the bakery.

"I promise to thank you the next time we meet. Now please go back inside, you are wearing like two layers. How are you not cold?" He questioned.

"It's perfectly fine, no need to thank me." She waved her hands. "And please do not worry. I'm use to the cold here" He rose an eyebrow.

"If so, I'll take my leave then." He waved slightly before slipping into the black car.

Marinette stood there for a few more seconds before entering back inside. Alya was standing by the counter with her arms folded.

"Alya, I can explain-" She scrambled for words. It was not unusual that Marinette to get lost in a conversation with one of their customers, but that usually means the other staffs has to work twice as hard as she is just talking away.

"You are soooo lucky it wasn't a lunch rush or I would have you do closing." Alya wiggled her finger in front of her. Marinette nodded quickly. "But other than that, I'm taking my lunch now. Can I trust that you would be working while i'm out?" She grinned.

"Yes yes- Thank you Alyaa" Mari threw herself onto her best friend, resulting into a tight hug. "I'll do my job, you don't need to worry" She saluted and hopped off.

Alya's smile grew a bit wider watching as Mari slipped back into kitchen. As she threw on her coat, her phone vibrated from an incoming call. " Hello? " She asked.

A male voice sounded from the other side. "Ah man. Adrien just texted me that they need him for another session with the modeling instructor for that upcoming fashion runway thing." Alya let out a sigh.

"The guy's like 23 without a break in his life" She said, walking around the white cladded streets. "But, at least he seemed to be enjoying himself in the cafe"

"That's good! Step one of reunion complete!" cheering could be heard from the other side. Alya laughed. "Say, are you on your lunch break right now? "

"How'd you guess?" She stopped and looked around.

"Was random. But since Adrien basically dropped me like a hot potato, wanna go somewhere? I'm still new to this place so uh...open for suggestions."

Alya held in a laugh." When's the last time you had a decent meal?" there was a groan as a response. "Alright alright, I'll come and find you. We've got lots to talk about"

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Next Chapter will be mostly Alya and Nino talking, kinda like how Mari and Adrien was talking in this chapter.

Thoughts and fan-typing [basically destroying keyboard type typing] are appreciated
