Chat Blanc: Chat's Fall [Hiatus]

Prologue

"Adrien, it's time for you to awaken. You have a photoshoot in an hour and at four you have to try your father's new designs for your fashion show tomorrow." Nathalie tells me.

"Uugh, is father joining me for the photoshoot?" I say getting up from the bed.

"Your father has more important matters to attend to so I'm afraid he won't." She says with no emotion behind her words.

Of course, he isn't. I think to myself. Removing my sleeping shirt Nathalie exits the room and I begin to dress for my photoshoot. God, I hate these things, I understand father wants me to take up the business when he retires but I just wish he would consider my feelings for once. Looking at myself in the mirror I give a slight smile. Thanks to my work as Chat Noir my physical appearance, notably my physique, has improved phenomenally. Touching my arms and abs I do a little flex for fun.

"Well well well Casanova, feeling on yourself huh?" My kwami plagg says eating some leftover Camembert Cheese.

"Haha sorta. I'm just surprised that a year and a half of fighting hawkmoth has made me this fit." Taking my usual clothes out I out them in and open my white button-up shirt for plagg to get inside of.

"Well at least with a bod like that you have your free roam of the ladies." I chuckle rolling my eyes.

"Come on plagg you know I only want ladybug."

"Oh really, from what I've seen you seem more into Kagami lately." The kwami says winking. I blush thinking about how not long ago we both went out for ice cream after pretending to be at fencing practice. "All I'm saying is don't get too caught up in a love that won't bear fruit. That's why The Black Knight was so moody."

Before I could ask what he means I hear Nathalie call me from outside my room. "I'm coming!" I say rushing to put on my shoes.

"Good luck today Adrien, I'm taking a nap in your shirt pocket," Plagg says snuggling inside of it.

"Sleep tight bud," I say as I rush outside and get into the car with my bodyguard. "Any chance we could get there a little late?" I ask with my hands clapped together. Grunting he shakes his head. "What if I can get you that limited edition action figure you have been missing from your collection? I got a classmate white a couple." He widens his eyes and flips the blinker on to go in the opposite direction of the photoshoot. "Thanks, take me to my friends first then Kagami's," I say, after getting the action figure we go to Kagami's mother's to see her. "I'll be a few minutes. Just drive around the block a few times or wait here." Going to the for I knock and am greeted by Kagami herself.

Smiling she answers, "hello Adrien, we don't have a fencing match today?" I shake my head no.

"No I have a photoshoot but I'm running my clock for a bit, wanted to see you as well, can I come in?" I say rubbing my neck nervously.

"Of course, just be quiet my mother is sleeping." Leading me in we go to her room.

"So Kagami, what should we do in the meantime? Watch TV, play a game, or talk?" I say looking around at her room.

"Why don't we talk. How have you been?" She asks me with a blank face.

"Oh, you know...great. Father has a fashion show tomorrow and I have to model for him...again." I say trying to hide my gloomy feelings. "But you know, this is the life I've been dealt. How have you been?" I ask her wanting to change the topic to hopefully something more upbeat.
