Adriens POV:

"welcome home adrien , your father has requested to see you in his office" natalie greets me as i come
home from my photo shoot, weird, probably something about either another rich family or how outrageous my posture has been lately.

"hello adrien" he invites me in like a client, sometimes i wish he actually treated me like his son for once .

"hi father , you wanted to see me?" he nods and asks me to take a seat .

"will you go to the dupain cheng bakery and pick up this order , it's Natalie birthday and i want to treat her" he almost chokes as if it's so hard to be nice about something and be considerate of others .

"yes of course , is that all?" i ask , "yes that's all , you may leave now" he says as i leave his office to go pick up the order .

sometimes i wonder if there could be something between him and Natalie  , they've always been close and iv never seen fathers face light up as much as it does when he talks about her .

maybe he deserves it , maybe Natalie will make him who he was again .

~~~

"h-hi Adrien" Marinette stammers as mrs dupain cheng hands me the box of croissants. I wonder why she's always so nervous .

i say bye to her and Alya and thank mrs.Dupain Cheng for the order, quickly trying to rush back home before Natalies dinner celebration. i find it enduring how much my father cares for her.

as i'm walking home i feel the Parisian breeze across my face, sure it's almost summer but climate change and all that . I always think of my lady in this weather, it's her favorite.

That's why we patrol more often when it feels like this outside .

i'm entering the mansion and i immediately see my father and Natalie hugging, something he never does with me, i don't account of people my father shows affection with , all i know is he never does with me . 

i'm not one to feel anger towards him though i should, he's my family and i could never hate family no matter how shitty iv been treated .

"oh hi Adrien" Natalie pulls away ", ready to have dinner but i notice something around her neck, something icy and delicate, a birthday present from father i see .

we all sit down to have dinner as things process in my mind, i obviously don't have a problem with my father finally moving on, especially with Natalie she's like a mother to me .

i just wish he'd care that much about his own son for a change .

~~~

"hey dude" nino greets me as we walk into school , waiting for the bell to ring .

"hey , you ready for summer, i know i'm not" i announce, "you aren't ?" he asks, "well you know , hawkmoth is the most active in the summer, wonder if he goes to school too" i'm definitely not ready for my busy schedule and lack of sleep .

the only thing keeping me going is being chat noir, i couldn't imagine not being him but it does get tiring at times .

especially recently since ladybug has been distant, a lot, she's been around alya a lot as Rena rouge . I feel like she doesn't need me anymore . That's what's taking my motivation.

I don't feel the way i used to, it's not just the two of us, not the bug and chat team , more like the fox and bug team with the cat being cut out in the sidelines .

"oh thats right, sorry i won't be here" Nino apologizes, snapping me out of my trance "right cause you're going to America" i chuckle, "yeah , i'll pray for you from there" he chuckles back as the girls start approaching us .

"hey guys are you ready for the last day of junior year?" Alya says as marinette stands next to her red as ever, I'm beginning to think that's her natural skin tone at this point .

"not at all" I say, i'm not ready for collage, or course my father is going to choose everything for me but i want to do something meaningful with my life .

"i'm especially not ready for Ms. Mendeleiev to give her annual speech" marinette giggles as we all join her, she has a nice laugh don't know why i haven't noticed before .

we lock eyes for a moment as she's still laughing and something in me fills with relief, everything is going to work out just fine . I guess marinette has that power over people .

"w-well see you guys in chemis-try" she covers her obviously red cheeks as i smile her way when the bell rings .

as we're walking to class nino starts chatting again , "hey man i know you're in love with ladybug and all but what about marinette" he brings up unexpectedly.

"what about marinette?" i chuckle , "come on man , i see your face light up when you're around her" he teases . I feel a slight heat flood my cheeks .

"i don't know what you're talking about , she just knows how to make people happy, besides i thought you were a hardcore ladynoir shipper" i say, "oh so she makes you happy?" he starts .

"nino, we're just friends" i chuckle at his words, "okay as much as i love ladynoir because my girlfriend runs the ladyblog , my adrinette heart aches" he takes a hand to his chest as if he was in pain .

"your what heart ?" i almost choke as we walk into class . "you heard me" he takes a smug look .

"let it go nino, she doesn't think of me like that" i laugh taking out my pencil . i seriously wonder whats gotten into him lately.

"well maybe if you got your head out of your ass" he slightly murmers thinking i can't hear his obvious attempt to knock my head back .

"i heard that, you aren't subtle" i glare over to nino , "that wasn't meant to be subtle" he smirks and shushes me before i try to argue . the teacher walks in and starts her speech about the last day .

sometimes i wonder what would have been different if i hadn't told nino my identity, but i was driving myself crazy and i needed someone to talk to l, i know my lady doesn't want to reveal each others identities until we defeat hawkmoth.

and i always respect my ladies decisions, even if sometimes i wish i didn't have to .
