Miraculous- Happy Ever After...?

Chapter 31- Double Trouble

Marinette's POV

Adrien and I walked hand in hand down the sidewalk towards Alya's house. The cool autumn breeze blowing slightly, sending chills through me. The warmth of Adrien's hand was enough to help not think about the chilly weather.

Adrien glanced my way for a few seconds, "Are you cold?"

"Not really, plus I'm wearing a jacket but it's still a bit chilly."

"I can help with that," Adrien responded with a smirk on his face.

I gave him a questioning look, and before I knew it he wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer to his side. I could feel his body heat radiating off him, leaning more into his jacket, I whispered, "Thanks, kitty."

"Anything for my Princess." He said while smiling down at me.

I smiled back, leaning up I nuzzled my nose against his. I giggled at the feeling and rested my head onto his shoulder. We continued walking, a few minutes later we made it in front of Alya's house with Nino and her standing outside waiting for us. We quickened our pace until we stood in front of our best friends.

"Hey, guys." Alya greeted.

"Hey Alya, Nino!" I responded.

"Hey, dude and dudette, ready to get some food?!" Nino exclaimed.

Adrien chuckled, "Always." His hand softly caressing my side. 

"Alright, guys..." Alya squealed before grabbing Nino's hand, "let's get this double date started!" dragging her boyfriend along, she rushed into the cafe.

I giggled at Alya's excitement as Adrien and I followed behind the couple.

~A few minutes later~

When we were finally seated in the cafe, I rested my bag against the booth windowsill and admired the scenery surrounding the cafe.

"It's nice to have the gang together," Alya spoke.

"You betcha, hey didn't we visit this place when we came back from our California trip?" 

"Oh dang you're right!" She turned to Nino, "Babe, you've gotta try their blueberry macaroons, they're the perfect mix of sweet and crunchy! Oh, and Adrien, their croissants are to DIE for." 

"Um, excuse me, I can take your order now." All heads turned towards the waiter at our booth.

"Oh! Alright, then let me have a croissant filled with chocolate and a mango smoothie, please! What about you Mari?" Alya asked.

Before I could respond, a thundering BANG! broke the silence between us. I felt the cafe shudder slightly under my seat. What the... Everyone in the building seemed to be in panic by the sudden loud noise. And I knew exactly could cause such a disruption...an akuma! 

Nathaniel's POV

What right does he have speaking to my Coco, that way?! Who does he think he is being so disrespectful like that?! He better stay away from my Chloe, he has no right to waltz right in here and threaten her like that! Chloe deserves to be respected and she might've been mean before, but that doesn't mean you should- 

"Nathy, can you hear me?"

Chloe...

Suddenly my vision started to fade until I felt nothing but darkness...

"Crystal Knight! I am Hawkmoth. I can help you seek out revenge for the one you care dearly about. All I ask in for return is Ladybug's and Chat Noir's miraculous!"
