Adrian twirled around in his desk chair, groaning. Plague flew out of his bag, happy to be free. He was just about to dive into his cheese cupboard when he stopped. Adrian was looking at a picture on the desk, smiling gently. Plague flew closer, curious.
Alya had taken the candid shot of the two of laughing together, and it was Plagg's favorite picture of the two heroes. "Just think of it this way, Adrian. The sooner you get done with homework, the sooner you can see Marinette!" "Do you think she's doing her homework right now, too?" Adrian asked, a hopeful look on his face. "For sure." "So, in a way its like studying together." Reaching up, Adrian scratched Plague behind the ear.
Satisfied, and Adrian settling into his homework, Plague rewarded himself a big hunk of cheddar. But he was back out awhile later, as he watched Adrian pacing the floor, grumbling. "Now what's wrong?"
"Math is my toughest subject, and if I don't get a good grade, who knows what Father will do." "Okay, the first step is to take a deep breath and sink into your chair like its the most comfortable place in the world. Now, instead of numbers think of them in terms of how many Marinette's you need for your answers." "Mm, more Marinette's means more Marinette to love."
Plague choked back a gagging sound just in time. Adrian was his buddy, and to have a buddy, you had to be a buddy. Besides, Adrian was the best Cat Noir Plague had ever had, even without the weekly cheese runs.
Plague helped Adrian until his homework was done. "Ready to go Marinette's?" Nathaile asked, and Adrian grinned. On the way to Marinette's, he whispered, "Your the best buddy ever, for being my friend."
Adrien wore a secret smile that night, for his Kwami could be troublesome but he could be the sweetest Kwami ever.
