jumping from rooftop to rooftop, he was supposed to be on patrol, but his mind went on autopilot, he ran wherever his legs took him, and looked wherever his eyes wanted him to look. "chat noir! wait up!" ladybug said catching up to her partner who pounced and sprinted through paris' rooftops. he couldn't hear her though, it was almost like he had no control of his senses, letting his body take control of what he does and wherever he goes.

after running for what felt like only a couple seconds, stopping at a certain balcony where lights shone greatly from grand windows. within a short time he realized he stopped right infront of her house.

"y/n l/n?" ladybug asked, huffing from catching up with him. he didn't realize he was at her home, he just ran wherever his legs took him to.

and without a doubt, they took him to her.

——

after that conversation with adrien, you two hadn't talked about that day or chat noir ever since. honestly, these days whenever you'd see him, you'd freeze up and hide. you hoped he hadn't caught onto your weird behaviour, but you couldn't help it.

class was as normal as it ever was, chloe having her normal tantrum outbursts, marinette and alya waving to you here and there from their seats, miss bustier teaching the class, nathaniel drawing not paying attention to class, and you drawing on the other side of his notebook.

your zoning out was quickly disrupted as you heard the door slam open, a huffing adrien running in. "sorry that i'm late miss bustier," he said apologizing. you looked up from nathaniel's drawing pad to the blonde boy who seemed ever-so-far from you. you thought he'd greet miss bustier first, or maybe look at his best friend nino who was quite literally right infront of him, but he locked eyes with you first.

wide eyed you ducked your head down to your arms hoping he'd stop staring at you. you felt your body grew hot.

remembering the way his face was inches from yours, bodies close to touching, and not to mention the way he caressed your hand, it was too much for you.

you'd never openly admit it as adrien was marinette's crush, but he was attractive. you felt your heart race but you tried your best to ignore it. besides, he's just your tutor, and your friends crush.

"ah adrien nice for you to finally join us, please sit, we were just discussing today's homework."

you felt eyes bore into yours, however they weren't ones of emeralds. "why are you acting so weird?" nathaniel asked you poking his mechanical pencil into your arm. "i'm not weird, your weird!" you said defensively jabbing him back with your pencil. "ever since a couple days ago you've been.. weirdly squeamish. it's distracting me from drawing," you rolled your eyes at the tomato head beside you as you continued to stare at the back of adrien's head.

staring at him from a distance, four rows behind, to be exact. it was all that you did. nathaniel noticed your eyes avert to adrien and he raised his brow, jabbing his pencil into you with an interested face. "did something happen between you and adrien?" he whispered. you looked at him, face growing hot. "no! of course not! don't be silly" you said waving the air. nathaniel let out a tsk, shaking his head. "every time you look at him, your face gets red." he said continuing to draw in his notebook. embarrassed you shrunk in your seat, continuing to stare at adrien's yellow locks, and golden-skin nape.
