It's Always Been You (Miraculous Ladybug Future)

｡*ﾟ+.*.｡Hugo｡*ﾟ+.*.｡

I'm screaming inside. First off, I find out that Sara is Chat Noire. Then, I sheepishly invite her over for dinner, and she's here at my house. Not only that, but I fucking tell her that my heart rate goes up because of her. And she says the same thing about me. All in the same day! What is happening?

She's sitting between me and my mom at the dinner table. My dad made meatballs for dinner, along with some salad and soup. A bit of everything.

And of course, they're treating Sara like royalty. Not that I mind, she's a literal princess. Even her name says it. Just looking at her gives me chills, mainly because she's the girl I have feelings for, but more than that, she just has that impact on people.

"So, Sara, how have these past few months been?" My mom asks.

"Oh, really well, for the most part. Especially with a friend like Hugo by my side."

"Friend, huh?" Emma questions. I give her a silent stare translating to shutthefuckup, however she doesn't listen. "Does that mean normal friends or friends with benefits?"

"Emma!" I say, clearly embarrassed.

"Oh, it's okay. No, we're just friends." Sara says. I feel my heart ache when she mentions this. I don't need another reminder that the girl I love doesn't feel the same way for me.

"Yeah." I say, trying to avoid suspicion.

"And what subjects do you like in school?" My dad asks her. The embarrassment I feel right now is mortal. Especially with the small talk they're having.

"Oh, I love biology. When I'm older I want to conduct my own studies on plants and ecosystems."

"Wow, that's really amazing." He says. "Hugo loves physics."

"Yeah, Papa, I literally tutored her for a while."

"Tutored as in actual learning? Or as in-"

"Emma, please, honey." My mom says. I sigh and take a deep breath, chewing on my food.

"By the way, I just have to say, your house is beautiful. I'm a big fan of the wooden beam design and the greens and reds. What's the inspiration?" Sara asks.

Oh, how my mom is going to love this question. "Well, as a fashion designer, I have friends in other fields of design. One of my friends, Nathaniel, is actually a well-known architect. Him and his husband actually came up with the idea of the greens and reds, as it has a bit of resemblance to our lives."

"Oh, that's interesting!"

"Yeah. How I miss them, his husband, Marc, got a job in Japan and they moved there for a few years."

"They're coming next year though!" Adrien perks up.

I silently give Emma a death stare, to which she responds by winking and making a kissy face. I take a deep breath, letting it out after.

I still feel a little shaky. This is a lot of new things in one day, and my sister's petty attitude doesn't make it any better.

Don't get me wrong, I love having her meet my family and everything. But everything at once is a little overwhelming. I also don't know how Sara feels, if she's comfortable or not.
