Ladrien June 2022

Ice Cream

It's the second day of Ladrien June! The fun part of this pairing is the fact that canon gives us a lot to work with, even if the ship doesn't have a lot of screen time. Also, is no one going to question Andre's abilities? That man has GOT to know more than he's letting on.... Anyway, i hope you enjoy this one! Vote and comment if you did!                                                                                                                                                -Colorado

Adrien had gotten used to his ice cream order at Andre's. The combination between strawberry with chocolate chips, blueberry, and blackberry was something familiar to him. As sweet as the flavors were, the after taste was always bittersweet. Adrien always figured that Ladybug was someone who was unattainable. Someone he could long for, dream for, and romanticize about, not someone who he could actually date.

And yet...

There he stood on the Pont Des Arts bridge, Ladybug beside him wearing the worst disguise he'd ever seen, as Andre dished up their usual orders. How Andre knew Ladybug's order was something that Adrien didn't want to think about.

Stil, he couldn't help but take notice of Ladybug's cherry and mint cone. Green like her mystery boy's eyes. Adrien noted with satisfaction that his eyes were, in fact, also green. Plus, cherry like his lips? That could basically be anyone! Most people have naturally red lips.

His cone, on the other hand, made it all too obvious who was in his heart. Did Andre really have to add those chocolate chips? That was basically the nail on the coffin right there! Who else in Paris resembled a ladybug so closely?

"Thanks Andre!" Ladybug chirped inside of the biker's helmet she was wearing. 

They walked off, cone in one hand, the other brushing up against the other's hand. 

"Oh for Heaven's sake," Ladybug muttered, grabbing his hand. "You're allowed to hold my hand, this is a date after all."

"Uh, yeah, right." Adrien gulped down his nerves.

He still couldn't believe his luck. He was on a date with Ladybug! An honest to God date! Adrien had never been more thankful for his modeling shoots. That's what brought them together after all. After spending an entire afternoon promoting his father's newest collection, based around the heroes, Adrien finally got enough guts to ask her out. He was expecting a harsh rejection, after all, that was his fate whenever he was Chat Noir. Instead, Ladybug had blushed and told him that she was free that weekend. Now, here they were.

"Nervous?" Ladybug bumped his shoulder.

"Well, I mean, yeah. It's not everyday when you get a chance with your celebrity crush." Adrien said bashfully.

"I think I know the feeling as well as you do." Ladybug hummed. "Am I really your celebrity crush?"

"Obviously, I mean, just look at this." He held his ice cream up.

"I noticed, but I thought Andre's ice cream reflected your true love." Ladybug lifted up her helmet, showing off the innocent smile on her face. Adrien figured it was anything but.

"Would that really be so terrible if you were my true love?" His voice dropped to a lower tone as he leaned in closer to her. Ladybug's face turned as red as his ice cream as she gaped up at him. He was about to go back on it, pretend it was all a joke, until she began to speak.

"W-well, I'd suppose it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world." She said quietly, looking back up at him. The look in her eyes startled Adrien, they were filled with emotions he didn't dare name.
