Chapter Text
Adrien POV
Adrien had just gotten out of the car when a high pitch voice screams near his ear.
“Adrikins…” Chloe grabs his arm and Adrien feels his temper rising instantly.
‘It’s just the animal instincts acting up’.
Adrien takes a deep breath and calms himself while Chloe keeps talking. To be fair Chloe doesn’t seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. His anger decreases slightly but doesn’t disappear. Adrien has a sneaky suspicion it might be Chloe’s hand cutting the circulation on his right arm that prevents him from fully relaxing.
“…without those losers.” Chloe looks at him with a smug expression and even if Adrien hasn’t heard a word about what she said he knows what she probably wants.
“I’m sorry Chloe but I’m really busy this week.” He puts his model face to good use and gives her his best I’m-sorry expression.
Chloe pouts but let’s go of his arm while going on another rant.
Adrien feels himself relaxing and walks towards Nino.
…
Adrien hates photoshoots at 5 in the morning and he is not alone. Every single model, makeup artist, and set assistant has a displeased face on. The only guy who seems happy is the photographer who had to do this while the sun was rising. Doesn’t matter they could recreate this with green screens, it wouldn’t be authentic enough.
That meant everyone woke up at 3am to be ready for this, which equal a lot of grumpy people and grumpy cats. Plagg does not like being dragged inside a bag for this.
Adrien had finished getting dressed and was sitting in the makeup chair. There were a few chairs besides him also with models and their respective makeup artists. He was waiting for his makeup artist to return from a supply run. Everything was fine until someone grabs his face without asking.
Adrien growls softly.
No one but the guy hears him. Adrien still goes deep red.
“I-I’m so sorry and I don’t…”
The man winks. “Don’t worry. The 5am shoot has everyone letting their inner tigers out.”
Adrien chuckles. “I think it’s more our inner grumpy cats.”
The guy laughs. “Just relax this will be done in a second.”
Adrien looks at his reflection and thinks. ‘If modeling doesn’t work, inspecting mirrors is a job I could really see myself doing.’
