Indirect Date

The Cold and the Cat

Adrien woke with a small smile on his face. By the look of his clock, it was five in the morning, more than enough time for school. So he sat upright on his bed, he move his shoulders and he heard them pop quietly. He felt different... good different. There was this feeling deep down in his gut that he had never felt before.

He looked out his window; the streets of Paris were still quiet and dark. Adrien looked to walk about the Parisian roofs at this time, it was always peaceful.

Plagg's huge ears twitched above his head, his eyes opened just after that. "Hey~" he purred sleepily floating over to Adrien's face. He settled on his head and looked down at the boy. "You look... different or maybe it's because I haven't eaten yet, where's my cheese?"

The boy's bright green eyes moved to meet those of his kwami. "I don't look different Plagg." He said completely ignoring the cat's rant of cheese. "I feel different." His eyes gleamed in the dim lit room.

If Plagg had eyebrows, he'd be raising one by now. "Adrien, Adrien, Adrien..." he shook his head slowly. "IT'S LOVE, RELIEF, IT'S CHEESE!" he shouted passionately. (Though he was quiet enough to be only heard in the room).

The untransformed hero gave his kwami a funny look. "Is cheese the only thing you talk about Plagg?" he asked wrinkling his nose slightly.

"What?" the kwami asked throwing his hands in the air. "I love cheese as much as you love Ladybug!"

"Marinette." Adrien corrected the tiny cat with a raised eyebrow. He sighed when her name flowed out of his mouth. "I'm so glad Ladybug and Marinette are the same person, they are both very important to me."

Plagg let a small growl tickle his throat for a while and crossed his arms over his tiny body. "I don't know if you ever noticed, but you were naturally attracted to her." He said. "Haven't you ever noticed how she spoke to you?"

Adrien blinked thrice and shrugged his shoulders. "She's always stuttering around me and acts strange; at first I thought she hated me or something."

"She was shy!" Plagg explained. "I still can't believe how blind you were!" he exclaimed.

Adrien quickly grabbed the kwami in his hands, he was being too loud. "I might've not noticed her before, but I'll make sure to make it up to her. I called her "Princess" and I'll totally treat her like one, I'll spoil her even if she doesn't like it." He said determinately.

Plagg grinned; his tiny fangs shimmered in the dim dawn light. "Well you better, if not I'll be asking for more cheese than usual. By the way, where's my Camembert?

Adrien sighed and pointed towards the closed cabinet at a corner. "While you took one of your long cat naps, I took the liberty to buy all the cheese I owe you." He said.

The kwami's ears perked up; purring loudly, he flew towards the pile of cheese. "Hurray!" he cheered before throwing cheese all around the room. "This is paradise~"

Adrien chuckled softly. "I won't be cleaning that up." He gave Plagg an annoyed look, it wasn't the first time he messed his room up, and it won't be the last. He stood up and passed a hand through his head to get it out of his face once more. He walked towards the bathroom.

"Hey, where are you going?" Plagg asked, though he knew clearly what the boy was doing.

The blonde stuck his head out of the room. "Une douche." He replied, not knowing why his kwami asked in the first place.

"Oh~ A shower to wake Mr. Adrien up? Marvellous Idea." The cat like creature purred before sticking a whole piece of cheese in his mouth.

The boy rolled his eyes before closing the door. His fingers grabbed the knob and he twisted it to see water flow down towards him. He felt more than excited to go to school today...
