Chat Got Your Tongue? | Adrien Agreste Fanfiction

Day of the Concert

A/N: Umm... well this is awkward...

It was Friday morning and finally the day of the concert. The three other members of BLACKPINK had arrived by plane the night before. All four of the members were staying in the mayor's hotel, which Chloe bragged about constantly.

The entire school was buzzing excitedly about whether they were going, where their seats were, and if they were taking a date. However, you wouldn't be in attendance. Since concerts were known to get out of hand, you, Ladybug, and Chat Noir agreed that one of you would have to be on patrol during the concert. The concert just so happened to fall on your night, so you were stuck. You had been sulking for the better part of the week.

Explaining to Adrien why you weren't going was difficult. He asked a million questions about why you suddenly didn't want to go. He had been so excited when he found out the concert didn't land on his patrol shift so that he could take you.

"Would you go if Chat Noir were the one taking you?" he had asked you. You assured him that you would never ditch him like that, not even for Chat Noir. Without you, Adrien accepted Chloe's invite. He was hesitant at first but you encouraged him to go and have fun. Chloe had gotten Adrien and Sabrina backstage passes and front row seats, so you knew he was going to enjoy it.

During your first break of the day, you and Adrien had met up with Nino in the courtyard. Apparently he had texted Adrien in the middle of the night asking for help with a girl he wanted to take to the concert. You decided to tag along because you thought you could offer some valuable advice as a girl yourself.

"There he is," Adrien said, pointing to Nino sitting on a bench and looking out into the crowd of students chatting blissfully. The two of you hurried over to where he was seated and sat down on either side of them. "Hey, man."

"Sup, guys," Nino said with a bit of frustration and defeat.

"So, what's up?" you asked emphatically. "Who's the lucky girl?" You smiled and nudged him with your elbow. He didn't answer. Instead he looked back out into the crowd where Marinette, Alya, Rose, and Alix were talking in a tight huddling. Alix must have said something funny because the other three began giggling. "Oh? Is it one of those four?" you pressed, pointing subtly at the four girls.

Nino nodded, adjusting his hat as he did so as if to hide his eyes. "I'm just way too nervous to talk to her. She's so pretty, and smart, and talented."

"Who, though?" Adrien asked again.

"Marinette," Nino mumbled. He kept his eyes on his hands.

You and Adrien exchanged unsure glances before refocusing on Nino. You weren't sure if you should be honest and tell him you were sure she had feelings for someone else. "How can we help you?"

Nino shrugged. "I'd like to date her, I'm just too nervous to talk to her." He buried his face in his hands. "I just want what the two of you have," he mumbled.

You raised your eyebrows in surprise and began shaking your head. "You've got the wrong idea, Nino. Adrien and I are just really close friends." You shot a look at Adrien for backup.

"Yeah, Nino. (Y/N) and I are just friends." But there was a bit of humor in his tone. A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. Sometimes he almost enjoyed seeing the way you acted around him since you didn't know he was the one under the mask.

You rolled your eyes and turned your attention back to Nino. "Why not ask her to the concert?" Adrien asked. "If you're nervous about just the two of you going, you can make it a group thing."
