[[ because I wonder if I have to do disclaimers since aha Thomas Astruc was the Hawkdaddy who brought us Miraculous Ladybug owns it its not like I've claimed them :0 this is a Ladrien fic with two very silly awkward babs. Notes on why I'm so super late with this chap are at the bottom :'D ]]

A long and heavy silence made its place around the two. Ladybug, instinctively, wrapped her arms around the taller boys shoulders. Tight. Tighter.

"Adrien.."

He flinched, inhaling quickly as it was only now that he realised what had happened. His eyes shut tightly, but smiled wide with worried feelings.

"Sorry, I got really caught up in- u-uhh.."

His eyes began to sting, forming tears as the seconds rolled by. He inhaled sharply, keeping his eyes shut at all costs to not dare let a tear slide down his cheek. Ladybug could see- no, feel the stress that this boy was developing.

She didn't want this for him.

"Please, don't apologize."

Before he could protest and say he was completely fine, she stood up and took his hands in hers. Her smile was sad, but she kept bouncy movements to cycle a little energy between them. Adrien was whisked away in this split second, and could only stare off into her eyes.

"Adrien, let's go. I think we should remember tonight as something nice. Those crepes were delicious, and I'm grateful I got to eat them with you."

He wasn't sure if it was him, but Adrien swore he could see pink around that Lady mask. He definitely heat crawl up in his own cheeks. He stumbled along as Ladybug further moved from the tree's shadows to embrace the full moons light. A gentle breeze carried fluttering leaves over them. As his lady smiled even more at her gentle love blushing, Adrien was falling in love all over again.

"Ladybug..I..I'd like to go home. Not because I don't want to be with you! I-i uh..I think you're right, so..maybe we can.."

She giggled at him, understantig exactly how he felt. She wanted to do this again. She wanted this exact moment to happen a billion times over. But it had to end. And it'd have to end now. She did have one thing in mind.

"Well. Why don't I take you home, Adrien?"

Her little smile and cutely growing blush encouraged Adrien to go a little wide eyed at the offer. Ladybug taking him home. Ladybug. g. This is perfect.

"Y-yeah..yeah! Of course, that's fine! I'd love that! Uh- because uhm, its pretty late and yeah-.."

He smiled and shut himself up, worrying endlessly if his outburst was a bit much. Being too eager was something that usually got him in trouble, as known with Chat Noir. It was then he realised, as Ladybug snaked an arm around his waist and readied her yo-yo, that Chat Noir would have never been able to have this kind of night with Ladybug. As Adrien, he's always seen a different side of Ladybug. A more playful and..caring side? Sure she was always caring with him as Chat, but this was a little different. He couldn't put it on his finger but this was definitely different.

They finally got to his window, which was left open. It definitely wasn't because Chat Noir had to leave quickly if he wanted those healing foods. Ladybug didn't seem to question it, it made it easier to slip into his room after all. She gently placed him down, and turned to leave after a little peace sign. But, her wrist was taken by Adrien. There was something he had to know. Something needed to check in order to have at least a little knowledge.

He gently placed a sweet bliss kiss against her cheek.

This was the cause of two tomato faced babs, Ladybug stuttering and holding her cheek with Adrien puffing his cheeks out and holding a pose with his hand out after releasing her wrist. The two awkwardly stood there in mild silence, until Ladybug inched away to the window and left just as awkwardly.

"I...I did it.."
