Chapter Text
Adrien just got home from finishing his extra-curricular activities. He was tired- he was always tired but what do you expect when you’re a model, a student AND a superhero constantly fighting some dick head who likes to send out akumas during the times you’re doing the previous 2 things. In conclusion, he was overworked and his bed looked very- tasty- to him to say the least.
But why in the world was there red legs hanging off the roof outside his window?
Ladybug?
Why was ladybug out? Today was Monday; Mondays were Rena Rouge’s solo patrol day. Ladybug didn’t need to be out. Yes, it was a common occurrence for other heroes to join the solo patroller because they were all friends. If that’s the case, why was ladybug a) alone and b) outside his- ADRIEN’S- window?
She was sitting behind a chimney so he couldn’t see her whole body, just her legs. As much as he wanted to transform and join her on the roof, he didn’t think that was a good idea; one, because she would see him leave his house as Chat Noir and two because he was tired- as stated multiple times before.
It was a particularly cold evening. The wind was strong but from her body language, he could tell Ladybug was not affected by the temperature; her legs stayed where they were; they didn’t even flinch against the cold winds.
And he did something without thinking- that he would soon regret. Or maybe not?
“Hey!!!”, he called out from the window he opened. Ladybug moved; her legs disappeared behind the chimney and out popped her head. She looked around and noticed him.
Adrien wanted to make this less awkward so he added, “It’s cold, do you want to come in?”. Yes, that’s definitely what normal civilians do to superheroes: invite them into their house, yes.
She smiled. Omg she smiled!!!
She moved out from the shadows of the chimney; Adrien could see her whole body now and that’s when he realized: what the frick have I done??
“Hi…”. Omg Ladybug spoke.
Adrien tried to make his offer sound less weird, again, “um,,, we could watch some anime? OR, we could play some video games? Uh, I don’t know, you just looked um sad? So, I was thinking maybe we could just…”
“Ha ha ha. You’re cute.” His heart palpitated. She laughed and called him cute omg!!!
She finished, “as much as I’d love to, I should get back home”. She looked in the direction of the Eiffel Tower. Did she live in that direction?
“Uh, well you’re welcome to come in whenever you want”. Yes. That sounded natural. Good job Agreste.
“Hmm, I’ll take you up on that offer sometime.” Her voice sounded so beautiful and clear. It made his heart jump and even the wind shivered in the sound.
And with that, she took out her yoyo, and swung away. Adrien realized that yes, he was, in fact, blushing profusely. After that awful and awkward interaction, how the f is he supposed to go to sleep?
