Chapter 6: Boy and rain

Lila spun around, her eyes widening at the sound of another voice, her mouth stretching into a small O.

The boy laughed and Lila quickly clamped her mouth shut. »I didn't, um, t-think there would be anybody in-n the woods in this r-rain...« She stuttered, gesturing around her at the rain.

For a second she just stood there, staring at him in the rain. As she was at a loss for words she noticed he had messy light brown hair, which was really wet and dark brown eyes, which were lined with silverr and shining as he watched her. She could bearly stiffle her held breath when he spoke again. »You do know you're in the middle of the biggest city in France...?« Lila blushed, snapping out of her thoughts, cursing herself for staring and forgeting that there would be someone outside in PARIS in the middle of a rainy day. »I forgot there would probably be someone outside. I'm not used to city as big as this one. But I guess I should've known someone would stalk me.« She told him, suprising even herself with her words. The boy flashed her a brilliant grin. »Well, apparently there's a really high crime rate, Not to worry though we have two no wait three superheroes that are probably all fifteen...Yeah, actually, maybe you shouldn't walk around alone in the rain, singing loudly.«

Lila rolled her eyes. »Nah, I think it's safe and I can defened myself. I actually, quite like going out in the rain. There aren't many people and the world fells like it belongs to you.« She explained, looking around her at the empty streets. She sighed. The boy tilted his head as he looked at her curiously.

»Yeah, it is like that sometimes. Not right now though. Right now there's a girl singing in the rain, turning the lonely world into a fairytale.« He says it like it's out of a book, Lila thinks before catching herself. No! You think like that too much Lila, the world isn't like one of the stories in your books.

»Was that a compliment?« Lila wondered.

He smirks. »Maybe, I think.«

»Thanks, I think.« Lila returnes his smirk.

Lila looked up at the sky and sighed. »Dang it, it's starting to clear up. There's going to be people everywhere soon.«

He chuckled and Lila turned to look at him. »What?«

»Most people just say that rainy days are tired days.«

Lila gave him an incredulous look. »Tired? How can someone be tired when there's so many puddles to jump into!«

He smiled. »Well, you see, most people, they don't like getting soaked down to their underwear while jumping through muddy water.« He'd leaned forward and talked as though he was explaining something to a five year-old.

Lila pouted, her eyes sparkling as she looked back at him. »I get that, I'm not five. I just don't understand what's so bad about getting soaked, you can always change your clothes when you get out of the rain.« She said exasperated, her arms flinging around, like they always do when she's completly inside a conversation.

That's when she felt something lightly pinch her in the stomach, she realized Aiistra was in her sweater and must be trying to tell her something. She quickly checked her watch and realized that if she didn't start walking back home now, she would miss dinner and her aunt would worry. She sighed, looking back up at the boy who had straightened up from leaning towards her and was smiling at her.

»Now, this isn't because I want to get out of the rain, just so you know. But I have to go or I'll miss dinner.« She told him waving her index finger as though she was teaching him a lesson.

He grinned and caught her finger as she waved it again. »Of course not, I would never think you were trying to ge out of the rain.« He smirked as he caught her staring at his fingers looped around her own finger. She quickly looked away and blushed as he let go.

»I-I better get g-going or someone m-might think I d-drowned in a muddy p-puddle.« She stuttered, keeping her eyes away from his face.

He laughed. »Sure thing, well see ya.«

Lila nodded, taking a step backwards. »Nice meeting you.«

Then she quickly turned around and walked away, running when she rounded the corner. Aiistra peeked out of her shirt and flew out when she saw there was no one outside on the street. »Slow down!« She told Lila and the girl slowed down as she walked. Aiistra giggled at the girl's blushed face. Lila sent her a glare. »What?« Aiistra giggled again. »Oh, nothing. I wonder if that boy goes to your school...« Lila blushed again, but held her head up high. »There's more than one school in Paris, let alone all of France, I'm sure he doesn't go to mine.« Aiistra giggled again before zipping back into Lila's pocket as someone walked by.

When Lila got home she was tired. She greeted her aunt and helped ready the table as they had dinner together. Sophie was excited to hear that Lila had gotten into the ballet program that she was aiming for and was getting along with her teachers.

Lila cleaned up her dish as dinner was over and quickly said goodnight to her aunt, before slipping into her room and collapsing on the bed. Aiistra flew out of her pocket and landed on her stomach as Lila stared at the ceiling. »Watcha thinking about?«

Lila sighed. »Class, family, homework, boys, Marinette, Alya is coming to school tomorrow.« Lila sighed again and got up slightly so that she was half sitting and could look at the little kwami. »I hope there's not going to be another akuma attack soon. I want to get everything sorted and properly arranged in my life before I have time to run around chasing akumas.« Aiistra looked at her with a big smile as she patted her hand. »Don't worry. You're smart, you'll figure it all out so that you can do anything you want and help Ladybug and Chat Noir.« Lila smiled a Aiistra before hugging her lightly. »Thanks for believing in me. Aiistra grinned and hugged her back. »Of course I believe in you. I know what you're capable of and this will be though but in the end it'll be fine and you'll be happy. I promise.« Lila nodded, before putting Aiistra down onto the pillow and standing, stretching as she did so. »I guess it's time for homework.« She said in a tired voice before smiling and taking out her tablet, sitting behind her desk and starting on her Maths homework.

A.N:

Now I know this is short but I'm still trying to figure out where I want this to go and am writing slowly. And I know there's not much LB and Chat but I'll be doing just their reveal in this fic and that will come later. Enjoy my new mystery boy? Hope you did, we'll be seeing more of him. Oh and I don't remember why but I wanted to point out that in my fanfic Lila is pronounced Lela and not like the original Lila which is pronounced Lyla. :O I blew all your minds.

Thanks for all follows and favourites.

I love reviews, by the way. Just saying. ;)

Dream on!
