It was the first of December when Alya happily skipped in her Ladybug themed pajamas through the living room at 8.30am. Nino looked up surprised from his tablet as he wasn't used to see Alya full of energy in the early morning. Normally she would be walking into the living room like some zombie with a double espresso in her hand around 10am.

"You sure are an early bird today." Nino commented at his girlfriend's behavior, as he put his tablet on his lap and took a sip of his morning black coffee with extra sugar.

"It's December." Alya said like that answer explained her sudden change in behavior.

"I know that, but I don't really see what's so excited about that." Nino said with an raised eyebrow.

"That means that it's 24 days till Christmas and so it's time to get Christmas decorations since we don't have any!"

"You want to go Christmas shopping?"

"Yes that's right! I already go in mind what to do for decorating."

Nino drunk all his coffee that was left in his mug in one go. He knew what was about to come, and honestly he wasn't awake enough to deal with this situation. If he could he would have liked at least two more espressos before he had to face this conversation, but knowing Alya there was no time to get two more espressos.

"We're not having Ladybug and Chat Noir themed Christmas decorations." Nino said. "You already pushed me so far to wear those Chat Noir themed pajamas to match your ladybug themed pajamas." he said calmly.

"But you said you think Chat Noir is a cool dude and that you don't mind wearing it."

"I do think he is a cool dude and I'm fine to wear those pajamas for you, but I don't think he is that cool that I want to decorate everything Christmas related with the heroes. You have to understand there is a limit."

"But, Nino…"

"No Alya… It's too early to discuss this…"

"Fine… We will discuss it later." Alya said with a pout as she plopped down on the couch with her arms crossed over her chest.

Nino let out a sigh as he stood up from the couch to refill his cup with some new black coffee with extra sugar. He knew better to leave Alya alone for a while when she was like this. He knew that this was going to be a long and tiring day, and for that he need some more coffee.

Once he was in the kitchen he placed his mug on the kitchen counter took the can that was still filled with coffee and poured it into his mug. The coffee was still hot, due to the fact he had just made it with the filter coffee machine. He then took the box that contains the sugar cubes and put three of them in his coffee. The box was just like most of their kitchen stuff Ladybug themed. He already allowed Alya to have so many Ladybug and Chat Noir themed stuff, that she just had to start to understand that everything got a limit. He would probably go insane if he had to see even more red things with black polka dots in their house.

He took out another mug of the cabin and placed it on the kitchen counter. He then walked over to the fridge and took a carton with chocolate milk out. He poured the chocolate milk into the mug before putting the carton back inside the fridge. He took both mugs in His hands before he walked back into the living room.

Alya was still sitting on the couch with her arms crossed over her chest and a pout on her face. Nino walked over to her and held the mug with chocolate milk in front of her, she glanced at it before she looked away again.

"Don't you dare think this is over just by giving me chocolate milk." Alya said.

"Come on Alya just take it. I know you want it." he said calmly as he looked at her. "I just want you to calm down so we can talk about it later."

Alya didn't say anything and took the mug in her hands, she stared at it for a little while before she took a sip of her drink. Nino smiled at her as her pout disappeared and she seems to calm down almost immediately. He didn't exactly know why but whenever she was mad at someone she would go drink this specific brand of chocolate milk and the she would feel better. He guessed it was because of the flavor, the brand was known for its rich creamy chocolate taste. Of course once he found out about that he, he began to give it to her whenever they had an argument. He gave it so she would be calmed down enough to have a proper conversation about it. However he guessed that this problem wasn't going to be solved calmly after she had calmed down with the chocolate milk.

Nino took his seat next to Alya and stirred his coffee for a few seconds before he took a sip. Both stayed quiet as they enjoyed their drinks. Normally Nino would have Alya snuggled up against him as she holds a small cup with a double espresso in it. However, that wasn't the case when they had an argument. Nino knew that he needed to stay calm and that Alya needed her space when angry, he learned it the hard way the first time they got into an argument. They also had an unwritten rule, that both parties could say that they don't want to discuss the problem just yet. Whatever reason they gave, the other respects it even though they might be frustrated about that. The way they dealt with arguments is probably a reason why they won't break up over one.

"Thank you." Alya thanked him for the chocolate milk after a while. He voice sounding relaxed and calm. She wasn't annoyed anymore. "You can let me know when you're ready to discuss it.

"I will." he said as he wrapped an arm around her and carefully pulled her closer to him.

Some hours flew by and it was now 2pm. Alya was sitting at the dining table in the living room with her laptop as she was working on a new blog post of the Akuma attack that had happened one and a half hour ago. She was typing away on her keyboard completely focused when Nino walked into the room with two cups of coffee. One cappuccino for Alya and a black coffee for himself.

"How's writing going?" he asked as he placed the cappuccino on a coaster next to her laptop on the table.

"Good. I almost finished the blog post, all that's left to do is to edit the image to announce I uploaded a new blog for Twitter and Instagram." she said as she took her cappuccino with her right hand to take a sip while continuing to type with her left hand.

"When do you think you finish?" Nino asked as he took a seat in front of Alya at the table, before he took a sip of his coffee.

"Probably within thirty minutes."

"Okay, once you're finished I would like to continue with the whole discussion from this morning."

Alya paused with typing and looked up at Nino. She smiled softly before she closed her laptop.

"You don't have to wait until I finish the post for the Ladyblog. I know that the viewers would love to see it as soon as possible but you're more important than the Ladyblog. You're my boyfriend, the one who supports me and the one who wear Chat Noir themed pajamas and drink out of a Chat Noir mug just to make me happy." she said

Nino could feel his heart race. He knew that Alya loves him, if she didn't they wouldn't had moved in together. But she never really told him he was more important than her blog. Her blog meant everything to her, so he began to assume at some point that he was not as important as the Ladyblog.

"You should never doubt that. You mean the world to me after all." she said as she took his hand in hers.

"But you're so passionate about Ladybug, Chat Noir and your blog… I just couldn't help but think I wasn't that important…" he admitted. He could feel a weight lift of his shoulders, apparently the whole ladybug stuff had bothered him more than he thought.

"It's true I'm passionate about them, but I'm way more passionate about you then about them. I mean when I'm with Marinette and the other girls, we usually talk about boys and sometimes I annoy them pretty much because I can't shut up about you."

"You talk to them about me?"

"Of course. We're girls that's what we do." Alya said and giggled. "Don't worry, it's only good things."

"Really?"

"Really. Now, should we continue our discussion?"

Nino nodded, before he took a sip of his coffee.

"This morning you just kind of overwhelmed me with your behavior. I'm not used to have you walking around the room with full energy at 8 in the morning." Nino began. "And when it was again about Ladybug and Chat Noir… something snapped… I guess it bothers me more than I thought that you spent so much attention to the heroes…"

Nino paused for a moment, taking a few sips of his coffee before he continued.

"I was happy that we finally moved in together this year and that we will be celebrating all holidays together. I don't mind it if there is a little bit of Ladybug and Chat Noir themed Christmas decorations, but the way it got announced that you wanted it and the moment when, caused it to be too much for me. Also the way you pouted when I said no made me feel guilty, I don't like it when you're upset… Especially when it's me who made you feel that way…"

Alya stayed quiet the whole time as she listened to her boyfriend, while taking a sip from her cappuccino every now and then. She waited a little longer once Nino was finished talking, just to make sure he was really done talking.

"I'm sorry that I didn't really keep your feelings in mind… I know I can get quite excited about Ladybug and Chat Noir… and it's something I should work on… I never meant to make it feels like you're less important to me than they are. You're the most important person in the world to me and no one can top that. I should have brought it up more calmly and not in a way it feels like I force it onto you…" Alya said as she looked Nino into his eyes. "If you want normal Christmas decorations then that's perfectly fine, you've compromised with me so many times… so it's my turn to do so now…"

Nino smiled at her before he stood up and walked to the side of the table Alya was sitting at. He then wrapped his arms around her from behind and pressed a soft kiss on her temple.

"You don't have to. I'm fine with three Ladybug and Chat Noir themed Christmas decorations. You can pick whatever kind of decoration you want that to be, but the only thing I want to say in this is that I don't want the whole Christmas tree to be Ladybug and Chat Noir themed."

"That's perfect fine." Alya said with a smile before she pressed her lips against his. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Nino placed one more kiss on her temple before he took his cup with coffee back in his hands.

"Shall we go shopping after you finish your blog post?" Nino asked.

"Sure. The stores are open longer today anyways."

Alya opened her laptop and continued to work on the Ladyblog as fast as she could, while Nino played a game on his tablet. Both were happy things got spoken out.

The time flew by and before they knew it they had finished their Christmas shopping. They had bought a fake tree, Christmas lights and silver and purple ornaments. Alya vlogged a bit in the store to show all the Ladybug and Chat Noir decorations that was being sold. However there appeared to be more Ladybug and Chat Noir Christmas decorations than she thought which leaded to one of the hardest situations Alya got in because she could only pick three. She didn't ask Nino if she could have a few more, much to his delight. If she did asked for a few more decorations he would probably allow her due to the fact she looked so cute when deciding what to pick. In the end she decided to get a Christmas wreath which had a small Ladybug and Chat Noir sitting between the branches and a Ladybug and a Chat Noir with a halo above their heads and with angel wings on their backs for the top of their Christmas tree.

Once they got back home they took something to drink before they started decorating their house. After a few hours the apartment got a cozy vibe due to all the Christmas decorations.

"Thank you for compromising." Alya said when they both looked at the tree that stood in front of them.

"You too." He replied as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close. He then pressed his lips on hers.

"What was that for?" she asked, she giggled as she was totally taken back by the sudden kiss.

"As a thank you, but also because I didn't want to break this specific Christmas tradition." he said and pointed up at the ceiling.

Alya looked up to what he was pointing at, only to see the mistletoe hanging above them. She let out a laugh before she hit him a playfully in his side with her elbow.

"You're such a dork."

"But I'm your dork."

"That's very true, you're my dork."

Alya then pressed a quick kiss on his cheek before she left him, standing still under the mistletoe with a slight blush. Man he loved that woman. He loved her so much.
