When we're together- Miraculous ladybug

old friend

Marinette stood outside the door of the crowded Parisian club.

"Are you sure about this?" she asked her friend Alya.

"girl, are you kidding meee? this is a greeaat idea" Alya said, already slowing her words from the 2 shots the girls had taken before arriving.

Marinette nodded and proceeded to pull out her fake ID. the girl on the ID was 5'8 and a black-haired 23-year-old from saint-Tropez. Marinette bit her lip and walked up to the bouncer.

"h-here you go," she said as she handed him the ID

He looked at it, then back at her, and back at the ID once again. He stepped to the side and beckoned for her to come in while handing her the ID. Marinette looked back at her friend with a victorious smile and walked in the door.

The club was hot and smelled like alcohol. After waiting for Alya, Marinette walked up to the bar and ordered her and her friend drinks. she didn't really know what to get, given that she had never been in a club before, but proceeded to ask for 2 long island iced teas since she had heard that one time on a tv show.

the man handed them their drinks and they walked over to a table. they sat down and sipped the sweet alcohol. Marinette liked the taste, though she still had no idea what she was in for.

After another drink, Marinette got up to dance. Her tolerance for alcohol was pretty low, therefore causing her to already be drunk. She moved her hips to the song, motioning for Alya to join her.

the girls danced for a bit, losing track of time and reality.

after a little bit, Marinette started to notice a warm sensation behind her. she turned around to see a mysterious man wearing all black. he looked nice with blond hair and a sweet smile.

"h-hi," Marinette said while staring into his familiar emerald eyes.

the man frowned " you don't remember me do you, Mari?" he said softly

suddenly it hit her " Adrien" she said as she hugged him. he smiled and embraced her hug. It had been 3 years since she has seen him. he looked different, more mature, more... muscular.

After his father had pulled him out of school she rarely saw him. maybe passing by him and his bodyguard every now and then or seeing his ads pop up on her Instagram explore page. nothing else though.

Marinette squeezed him tighter before letting go of their hug. he chucked under his breath and looked down at her.

" WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN AGRESTE?" she said punching him lightly on the arm.

"Well..." he began. " it's kinda a long story but all that matters is I'm back now"

she looked at him with concern. he seemed upset by talking about it so she decided not to push the story out of him.

"for good?!" she asked excitedly.

"yep," he responded with a smile. "I even got my own place finally," he said

Marinette didn't question how her friend got out of his crazy household. She just hugged him.

After some catching up and a few more drinks, the pair had become quite comfortable around each other again.

"so Marinette, a beautiful girl like you must have a boyfriend right?" Adrien said swiftly

Marinette blushed at his comment. "not at the moment" she responded. She debated telling him about the 2-year relationship she just got out of which was the reason for coming to the club in the first place but ultimately decided against it.

"that's a shame," he said under his breath

Marinette stared at the man in front of her. He had gotten taller with more defined features. He caught her gaze, looking back at her with a soft smile.

"I have to get going soon, it's getting late," he said sadly.

Marinette looked at her phone, it was already 3 am! " fuck" she said under her breath. She heard Adrien mutter something about her always losing track of time and she smiled to herself. he knows me too well, she thought to herself, catching his eyes once again.

"I can give you a ride home if you want," Adrien said

Marinette looked back at her friend Alya across the bar for a second. She was definitely way too drunk to drive.

"Sure," she said lovingly
