It's Always Been You (Miraculous Ladybug Future)

｡*ﾟ+.*.｡Hugo｡*ﾟ+.*.｡

It's the third week of February, and one of my classmates, Nathalie, is hosting a mid-year party. Of course there'll be alcohol and... other substances, but it will be a blast, or at least that's what Aaron said to me last Friday. Everyone is going, Nathalie invited the whole grade. Cécile has got me excited to go, she convinced me to along with Aaron and some other friends. Oh, did I forget to mention it's a costume party?

I shouldn't have problems getting back and forth in case of an emergency, because me and Chat Noire have both updated our powers and can now fly at almost speed of light, something that doesn't quite get in my head as a physics lover. But in case anything comes up, I can reach out and help. I'll talk about it with her tonight at patrol, see if that's an option.

I'm finishing up my costume for the event. Me, Aaron and a couple other guys decided to dress up as part of a mafia, and they nominated me to be "the boss" of the group. They said I look like one, and I laughed right in their faces.

My outfit consists of a white, halfway unbuttoned shirt, black dress pants, a formal leather jacket over my shoulders and some rings and chain necklace to go with it. I showed it to my sister, Emma, and she laughed and said I'd get "bitches" with that. I laughed and pushed her away.

But ever since then, my mind hasn't stopped thinking about a certain girl... What if something happens between me and Sara at the party? How would I react? What would it be like?

It's just, for the past month and a half, she's been all I can think about. Ever since she arrived in school I've been mesmerized.

My phone rings, distracting me from my thoughts. I look at the screen and realize it's Aaron.

"Hey, man."

"Did you already assemble your costume? I'm having a hard time with mine!"

I chuckle. "How hard is it? I just grabbed stuff I had from my wardrobe and called it a day."

"Dude, this has to be a good costume. Send me a pic and I'll judge."

I roll my eyes at my friend's reaction. "Oookay. I will."

"And then come over, I need some help with this."

I hang up on Aaron and quickly snap a picture of the outfit on my bed. As I wait for the picture to send, I admire my own miraculous.

"This party sounds like fun!" Tikki says, propping herself up on my bed frame.

I sigh. "Yep, just gotta get the group's outfit situation figured out."

"Don't worry, Hugo, I think it looks great!"

Tikki hugs my cheek and I cup her with my hand before reaching onto my desk for a cookie. She loves chocolate chip ones, I can't imagine having to deal with Plagg and his cheese addiction. Poor Chat Noire.

Aaron texts me a thumbs up for the picture, and I put on my shoes in order to head out to his apartment.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Glad you could make it." Aaron says, ushering me inside hurriedly. I'm confused as to what exactly is happening here, but I go along with it.
