Finding My Way Home

Chapter 14 - Love Life

Adrien P.O.V
I letted Lucy and Natsu well, Lucy carried Natsu into the car. Gorilla started driving while we talked about each others worlds.
"So Adrien." Lucy smirked, I have a bad feeling about this. "Do you like Ladybug?" At first I blushed then I regained my composure and smiled.
"Well, of course I like her she is paw-some!" I laughed at my own pun while she sighed. Why would she ask if I liked Ladybug? Maybe she didn't know?
"Adrien, Adrien, Adrien just what am I going to do with you?" Lucy sighed again. Seriously was she ok? Fine maybe my pun was less funny than usual but why was she sighing!?! Also why did she talk to me as if I were a child?
"You ok Lucy? Your sighing quite a lot today." I stared at her but she shook her head no.
"I'm fine Adrien, but I don't mean like, I mean LIKE LIKE." Lucy explained. Message successfully received. I thought, I then nodded my head, a blush evident on my face.
"Y-yes I love her with all my heart. Every time I'm with her I feel like the happiest man or cat alive. The time we spend together it feels too short, when she flies off into the distance with her yo-yo I miss her already." I blushed more while I confessed. All of my words were true, there was nothing more I loved more than her, I wouldn't trade our friendship for a thing.

"You're a good guy, being so honest about how you feel." Lucy smiled gently. Then her smile stopped. "It seems you aren't totally in love with her if you don't know who she is by now." Lucy muttered barley audible.
"Why did you ask me?" I raised an eyebrow. I can't believe that I just told her how much I feel for Ladybug, how embarrassing! Now that I raised the question all past embarrassment had disappeared. I felt sad that Lucy doesn't believe that I'm totally in love with her. I guess not knowing who I'm in love with does seem like I like her for what she is and not who. But I want to know for myself why she wanted to know. As if she could read my thought she started talking.
"But it's just that I thought you loved Marinette." Lucy stated, dead serious. Was she asking me this because they were temporarily roommates?
"M-Marinette! Of course I like her but not like like! Why do you think I like Marinette?" I asked her.
"Well recently I have been watching the Ladyblog and the news about what you and Ladybug have faced. I was doing it for research so don't think otherwise. And I saw you taking special care of Marinette, I even saw some videos of you watching her to make sure she got home safe while you were on your patrol. Originally I thought that you did that since you were friends and  classmates. Then I realised that you didn't give anyone else this special treatment so I thought you liked her." Lucy explained. Well I always found Marinette interesting she was like my second crush. Do I make it that obvious? I started avoiding her as Adrien since I thought she was afraid of me, but now Cat Noir lead the cat out of the bag. I just found a way to get this topic off me. I smirked for Lucy to give me a questioning look.

"What about you? What's your love life like?" I asked and she blushed a deep red, her face painted a whole new color. Lucy hid her head behind her hands and looked through the split fingers.
"I uh well you see!" Just as Lucy was about to confess her head shoot to the window. "No way." She muttered under her breath. She grabbed a lacrima from her bag and putted it next to the window facing outside.

"Are you trying to take a photo?" I asked and she nodded her head.
"It's very important. I felt magical energy from this girl walking on the street. And there is this old man with miraculous energy too. You said there were only  a two miraculous holders. What's going on?" Lucy finished speaking her eyes glued to the window.
"Miraculous energy?" I asked what does she mean by that?
"Adrien, the miraculous jewels and magical energy feel similar but different. It's like two things that are the same well thing but is well different. Like, like a um... A cookie or cheese maybe ice-cream? It's all the same product but there is different types, if that makes sense. I'll just use ice-cream as an example. It's one product but comes in various flavors cookies and cream, mint, chocolate or vanilla. Now I'm acting like Natsu talking about food." Lucy mumbled the last sentence. I think I get it, the food example made sense.
"Don't worry Lucy, it makes sense." I told her then I looked over at Natsu. It looked like he was suffering, was he having a bad dream? "Is Natsu ok? He looks bad." I pointed a finger to Natsu who was lying down on Lucy's lap.
"He's fine." Lucy waved her hand. "He gets motion sick. Still doesn't explain this." Lucy's attention got drawn back to the window. "They aren't there anymore." She muttered under her breath.
"Oh that old man?" Plagg flew from my jacket pocket and looked at Lucy's lacrima.
"Plagg!! What are you doing stay hidden!!" I tried to grab Plagg to put him away put he just flied around everywhere.
"Plagg, do you know that man?" Lucy asked Plagg and he grinned.
"Yeah, that's Master Fu. The keeper of miraculous jewels. He gave Adrien and Ladybug their miraculous." Plagg explained. "It might be best if you find any more miraculous energy to not mention it. You know, secret identities and all."
