The Bubbler

TGIF! I've been busting my ass all week. Finally, I get some leisure time. It's also Adrien's birthday today, I got him a pair of cat ears and a Chat Noir hoodie, just to tease him. I know his favourite is Ladybug - also I know he's Chat Noir - so I like to give him Chat Noir merch to bug him. For an actual meaningful gift, I drew a picture of the whole gang (Me, Alya, Mari, Adrien and Nino). Took me all week to get it perfect!

I get to school, daily drink in hand and see Mari and Alya hiding behind the stairs. What are they doing? I sneak up behind them, careful not to make a sound. They seem to be spying on Adrien and Nino a few meters away. I sneak my face in between the two girls, planning to spook them.

"Who we spying on?" I say, causing both girls the squeal. Mari accidentally knocks my cup out of my hand making it fly a few feet away. Worth it.

"Y/N! What the heck! You scared the crap outta me!" She squeaks, slapping my shoulder. Alya is panting, didn't know I scared her that bad.

"Sorry, not sorry," I say to Mari. "Why are we spying on Adrien?"

"Mari here wants to give Adrien a birthday gift but she's worried he won't like it," Alya explained after catching her breath.

I take the gift from Mari's hands and open the lid. It was a beautifully made sky blue scarf. Mari must have made it herself, I recognize the stitching. I have a toque with the same design.

"Mari, this is beautiful!" I exclaim, "If he doesn't like it I'll punch him, then take the scarf for myself."

"Oh um, thanks uh, thank you, Y-Y/N." Mari stutters. I chuckle and she joins in. I love her laugh. It's like when you hear bells during Christmas. It just automatically brings joy to the world. God, she's adorable. Why was she stuttering though?

"Okay, so here's the game plan," I start plotting a complicated way to get Adrien the kickass scarf. "I'll go distract him and Nino, while you two go to the roof." Mari and Alya both give me confused looks. "There you two hook Mari up to a trapeze rope and wait for me to bring Adrien inside. Once he's in, Mari drops and confetti blasts outta nowhere and magically form the words 'Happy Birthday'. Sound good?" I conclude with finger guns.

"I can't tell if you're serious or not..." Alya looks at me strangely.

"You actually believe me?!" I reply, trying really hard to hold in my laughter. Mari lets out a snort and that sends me over the edge. I fall to the ground howling in laughter. Mari soon joins me on the floor snorting even more. I don't even care about my ridiculous plan anymore, Mari's snorting is making my stomach hurt. Alya just looks disappointed, shaking her head at us.

"What on earth happened here?" I hear a male voice ask. I laughing too hard to recognize it.

"Y/N was being an idiot, Mari thought it was funny, and now they can't stop laughing." Alya sighs.

I open my eyes to see Adrien and Nino looking down at me and Mari, concerned. I look to Mari, she's sitting up clutching her stomach. Adrien holds out a hand for me. I accept and he pulls me up. I copy Adrien, doing the same for Mari. She blushes when our hands touch. She and I let out a few giggles before joining the others. I can't even remember what we were talking about before this. Eh, it'll come to me eventually.

The bell goes and we all head in.

Skip to lunch

"So Mr. Agreste is refusing Adrien a birthday party?" I ask.

"Yup, and I'm going to go knock some sense into him," Nino responds.

Oh boy, that won't sit well with Mr. Agreste. From what I've heard, dude's colder than a glacier. Yeesh. "I'll come with you," I pipe up. "You're gonna need some back up against him. Also, I need to make sure you address him properly." I smirk at him.
