Adrien pov

I don't think I had moved for at least several moments, just staring at the picture on my phone. Ladybug was standing right next to me and her bright grin lit up her face in an incredibly beautiful way, and she just looked so happy to be performing for a bunch of rowdy teenagers. Heaving a dreamy sigh I hugged my phone to my chest daydreaming about the coffee date ladybug had suggested. Freezing a horrible thought occurred to me, I don't know how to get into contact with her so I had no way of arranging the coffee date. Sighing I pulled my phone back to look at the picture again, that was when I noticed the messenger app and the contacts page were both open. Cautiously I opened up the contacts page and scrolled through till I reached 'L' were I froze staring at the new contact 'Ladybug' it even had a little heart after it. Blinking slowly I opened the messenger app to see one new message had been sent from my phone it was a copy of the picture sent to 'Ladybug' a very giddy feeling swelled inside me and I had to bite my lip to halt the exuberant cry that wanted to escape.

When everyone had returned to class I fished my phone out and continued to gaze at my new favourite picture.

As soon as school ended I was texting. On maybe the fifteenth attempt to ask Ladybug out for coffee I whacked the keyboard in frustration as nothing I wrote seemed to be quite right. Looking back down at the phone I stilled, starring wide eyes at the little message that said 'message sent'.

Hanging my head I waited for ladybug to reply in the negative or give some lame excuse or quick brush of and tried to brace myself for rejection. So when my phone dinged I looked down filled with trepidation to see,

From Ladybug

To Adrien

Hey Adrien

I would love to get coffee tomorrow what times are u free?

I'm pretty flexible so I'm good for whenever ur free,

Where did u want to go? I know some good cafes if u can't decide,

Ladybug xx

I shook my head sure I had imaged the text, when the message didn't change a grin quickly stole across my face, and I couldn't have stopped it if I had wanted to.

My reply was much quicker coming now I wasn't fearing being ditched quite so badly,

From Adrien

To Ladybug

Hey LB how about we do lunch about 12 and how about we meet under the Eiffel tower,

I know a great cafe near there we can go to

Is this okay?

Adrien xx

I hesitated putting the little kisses at the end but I reasoned if she put kisses at the end of her text I could do that too. Her reply was quicker coming this time too.

From Ladybug

To Adrien

Yep 12 sounds great and ill meet u under the eiffel tower then

Looking forward to cing u then

Ladybug xx

Smiling I let out a giddy laugh and spun on the spot for a second before I realised I was still standing outside the school with Nino standing next to me, raising an eyebrow at me he said "hey bro whats up with you?"

Grinning I said "I just asked out Ladybug and she said yes and we are going to get lunch together tomorrow"

Nino gaped bofe saying "no way, you're pulling my leg, there is no way you are going on a date with Ladybug" I just grinned at him and he muttered "unbelievable" under his breath.

Suddenly I had Alya, Nino's girlfriend right in my face as she said "did you just say you're going on a date with Ladybug?" Barely getting the chance to nod she continued "you have to get me an interview with her, I'm begging you use some of your Agrest charm whatever you have to do, do it. I need that interview."

"Uh, okay?" Shouting a quick thanks and dropping a brief kiss on Nino's cheek, Alya was gone dragging her friend Marrinette with her. Rolling my eyes I said "she doesn't ever stop does she?"

"Nope."

Standing in front of the mirror I tried on the fourth t-shirt of the morning desperate to find something nice to wear on my date with Ladybug, grimacing I sighed and flopped backwards onto my bed.

Looking up when Plagg came in I said "what do you want?"

"Nice way to talk to the body guard that is accompanying you on this trip so that you are allowed to go, would you prefer to stay home?"

"Ah no no no, I'm sorry plan I just... I'm frustrated I can't find anything to wear."

Plagg took one look around the room before saying "yeah you have no clothes"

Sighing I said "look you can you help or what"

Rolling his eyes he headed for the wardrobe tossing various things at me, turning back he said "now go change"

Nodding I disappeared into the bathroom to change into the cloths plagg had chosen, stepping out I admired the outfit in front of the mirror. I was wearing a pair of straight black jeans, a plain white t-shirt with a little black cat on the front and a black leather jacket. Grinning I said "thanks Plagg" yanking on a pair of shoes I headed for the door grabbing my keys, phone and wallet on the way.

Arriving at the car I waited impatiently for Plagg to get down here so we could go already. When he finally showed up and we left for the Eiffel tower I was so excited I think I was actually fidgeting, something I hadn't done since I was small.

When we reached the tower I was so excited I was out of the car almost before it had stopped moving, I could see two black cars already parked up. The doors on one opened and what looked like about five huge beefy guys got out, one of them went over to the other car opening the door for someone to get out. I saw her feet first the delicate black strappy heals made her feet look tiny and as my gaze travel up I noted a lot of bare leg, finally stepping around the car door and into my line of sight I gasped at what I saw.

She was wearing what had to be the shortest black dress I had ever seen, the delicate red lace over the top just drew more attention to the dress. Gaze snapping up I took in her face which was sadly covered by a mask yet again, this time it was a solid black domino mask with red lace over the top, her hair was piled neatly on top of her head. Smiling at me she turned back to black car and said "come on Tikki" and then another girl got out, she had vibrant red hair and was wearing more casual clothes, similar in fact to what the body guards were wearing. Turning back to me she said "lead on"

Smiling I started leading her and her entourage to the cafe I had picked, most of the body guards hung back slightly but Tikki walked next to Ladybug and Plagg walked next to me, so we were perfectly safe. When we reached the cafe the body guards scoped the place and once they were happy it was secure they settled down at tables near the doors. When Ladybug and I entered the cafe people stared and whispered, from what I could pick up it sounded like most people were more interested in Ladybug than me which was a nice change. Although there was a fair amount of speculation on who I was and some people who recognised me were theorising on how we knew each other, but mostly people were just wanting to know why Ladybug was here in a cafe with a guy.

We sat down on a empty table for two and Plagg and Tikki sat a table away, Plagg shot me a sly look and a wink before he sat down causing my cheeks to flush red with embarrassment.

There was a long moment of silence before Ladybug spoke up, "so how did you know about this little place, its so cute."

"Uh...oh...I...uh come here some times with my friends, so I know they do great coffee and their pies are pretty good too" I wanted to slap my self with how stuttery and nervous I sounded.

"Oh thats great I come here sometimes too, but..uh obviously not like this."

She flushed slightly before the waitress came over and interrupted us asking "so what can I get for you two?" I could see the effort she put into sounding normal and not fainting at the fact she was serving a model and a celebrity.

"Oh uh, apple pie and coffee, white please" I added the last bit as an after thought, still distracted by Ladybug's smile

Grinning Ladybug said "Ill have cherry pie with ice cream and a hot chocolate with cream and sprinkles please" I was intrigued to note she didn't even check the menu, she really must come here often.

Nodding the waitress said "gotcha, Ill be right back with your drinks."

We chatted amiably for a little while before the waitress returned with our drinks and then moments later out food. We ate and chatted and as we did, we planned our big escape, "okay so if you say your going to the bathroom, I'll grab Tikki and say I'm going to touch up my make up. Then we both climb out of the bathroom windows and make a run for it."

"Are you sure you can get away from Tikki?"

Snorting in an adorable way she said "of course, Ill be lucky not to be shoved out the window"

"Ahh" grinning we continued to plan, thinking about places we wanted to go.

Standing I said to my rising guard "chill I'm just going to the bathroom"

A few moments later and I was standing in the alley way behind the cafe and then a window opened and I saw a graceful form slide out head first, panicking I thought she was going to hit her head so I rushed forwards only to watch in fascination as she twisted mid air and landed lightly on her feet. Standing up she said "I've had a lot of practice escaping bathrooms" at my raised eyebrow she flushed and continued "don't ask."

Shaking my head I said "Wouldn't dream of it princess." As I spoke I took in her outfit change, the black dress was replaced with skin tight black jeans and a red tank top, a pair of black and red trainers covered her feet and huge oversized sunglasses covered half her face.

I was fascinated by the way she giggled, it was frustratingly familiar but I couldn't place it at all. Waving her hand she spun in a small circle and said "so how's my disguise? You think anyone will fall for it?"

Flashing her a wide grin I said "of course they will, and you look great."

Matching my grin she grabbed my hand and started leading the way out of the alley.

The first two hours of our exploration of Paris together was blissful. However when we had to duck into a small boutique to avoid one of my body guards search parties, a high pitch shriek interrupted our quiet whispering "ADRIKINS!"

Adrien paled mumbled "ow crap! Why Chloe? Why does the universe hate me?"

Smiling into my hand I pretended to be insulted and said "girlfriend of yours?"

Adrien looked horrified "hell no! We were friends and she seems to have gotten attached and won't take no for an answer. In fact maybe you could help me get rid of her? For good."

Blinking I smiled and said "my pleasure"

Leaning in I pressed my lips against his just as Chloe reached us, inside I was screaming and running in circles 'I was kissing Adrien! I was kissing Adrien! Oh my god! Oh my god!'

Suddenly a loud shout broke the moment "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING KISSING MY ADRIKINS?!"

Turning to face the raging blonde I spoke up "oh I'm sorry I must have missed the property label, I was under the impression we were on a date and so were entitled to kiss when we want."

Chloe spluttered for several moments before scowling and saying "you can be on a date because Adrien is my boyfriend."

Turning to face Adrien I said "is this true Adrien?" When I didn't immediately get a response I peered up at him and noted with no small amount of pride and amusement, the dazed and slightly dopey smile plastered on his face. Snorting I shook his arm lightly "Adrien!"

Blinking hard he shook his head slightly reminisce of a cat shaking water of his head "huh what?"

Smiling I repeated my self "Adrien, this girl claims you are her boyfriend, is this true?"

"What no! Me and Chloe are not dating and never have been, despite what the tabloids would have you believe."

"Right, there you go. You aren't dating therefore we are on a date and are allowed to kiss whenever we want to. Right kitten?" Grinning at the little nickname that popped into my head when I spied the black cat on his t-shirt.

"Absolutely."

Smiling I looped my arm through his and tugged him over to the door "come on then kitten lets get out of here."

"NO! WHO ARE YOU TO TAKE MY ADRIKINS AWAY?"

Yelping when my sunglasses were suddenly ripped away, my hands flew up to shield my eyes from the bright lights. "Ah my eyes, that is very bright!"

AN: I was gonna leave it here but I'm not quite that cruel.

Lowering my hands, and revealing the simple slim black domino mask covering my eyes. I had to grin at Adrien's put out expression, "oh Kitty did you think you where going to get to find out my identity?"

"Well..."

"Not on the first date chat, maybe some other time."

"Wai..wait your...your Ladybug!"

"Yep!"

"I...I...Bu...Bu...I...Wha...Huh...How...Uh..."

Snickering Adrien stage whispered "I think we broke her."

Snorting I muttered back "yeah, wanna make a break for it?"

"Hell yes!"

Grabbing his hand I towed Adrien towards to door, brushing past a still stuttering Chloe and plucking my sunglasses from her stiff fingers.

Shoving the shades back on we continued to explore Paris together, showing each other our favourite spots.
