"Ladybug! Oh I'm so glad I caught up to you." Ladybug turned to see an exhausted Adrien Agreste working his way through the masses.

Ladybug wondered why the hell he was still there. He had taken a direct hit from the akuma earlier, nearly scaring Ladybug to death. He was obviously tired from the way his eyes drooped. But he was still here. Ladybug wanted to strangle him, hadn't she told him to go home?

"Hello, Adrien, what can I help you with?" Despite her inward screaming, she still greeted him with a smile.

"I ran into Chat Noir on the way here." He said in between harsh breaths. "He told me that he had something important to share with you. Something about meeting up at your spot? At your regular patrol time?" He winked with a smirk so subtle that only she would see it.

"Oh uh, s-sure. If you see him again, tell him that I will meet him there." She nodded.

"Great! Now uh," Adrien glanced around him. Most of the paparazzi had left by now, clearing out after Ladybug had asked a few questions. "Can you take me home? It's a bit too far to walk." He asked bashfully, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Sure thing, Adrien." Ladybug gave him a wide grin, shooting straight through his heart.

 "After all, I can't have Paris' local pretty boy out on the streets."

"Pretty boy?" Adrien grinned as she wrapped an arm around his face.

"Don't let it go to your head, Agreste. You're a literal model, one of the most famous in all of Paris, in fact." Ladybug rolled her eyes as she pulled him flush against her.

She really hoped that he couldn't hear how fast her heart rate was. Stupid crush giving her that stupid smile that made her feel like falling and flying all at once.

"Yeah, but I don't care about the world's opinion." Adrien leaned up to whisper in her ear. "I only care about yours, my lady."

Ladybug sucked in a harsh breath, her face instantly turning red. A flirtatious Adrien Agreste was a dangerous one. If he wasn't careful, he would send her straight into cardiac arrest. She really didn't feel like taking a trip to the emergency room, so she shook it off. He was probably just joking anyways, that seems to be how it goes between the two of them.

"Oh, you're so full of it." She shot back, sticking her tongue out. "I guess for now you'll just have to listen to the world."

"You wound me." She heard the silent 'bugaboo.'

Ladybug scoffed, rolled her eyes, and began her journey to the Agreste mansion.

"Is there really something so urgent that you need to talk to me about?" She asked, dropping him off in his room. "Or was that you just trying to get me to hang out with you more, chaton."

Adrien let out a mock gasp, placing his hand on his heart.

"My lady, how you wound me. I am a noble cat with no ulterior motives whatsoever. Just the thought of you suggesting it sends me into a fit of great sorrow." He whined, dramatically falling back on his couch.

"Uh-huh, sure. So you really do have something important to tell me?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I do have a bit of news for you, but I figured you were too busy to hear it right now." Adrien shrugged.
