I made this because I needed a little break while I figure out the direction for my other story, Miraculous Date. There might be more to this (I may or may not have already written another thousand words of this). We'll see how popular it is.

I do not own anything Miraculous Ladybug.

Marinette stared up at the stars and sighed. In her hands, she fiddled with the yellow and pink good luck charm that Adrien had given her, admiring the way that it looked against her red and black gloved hand. It had been a great birthday, akuma aside, and she was still squealing inside over having received a present from Adrien. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts of the day, she barely heard Chat arrive.

"Good evening, M'lady, how are-what's that?" She could tell that wasn't what he'd meant to say by the sharpeninghe change of his tone.

She looked up to see his eyes zeroed in on the prize in her hands. She held it out for him to see. "This?"

His hand twitched , but he just nodded at her.

She didn't see any harm in being honest with him, but she still didn't want to give away too many details. "The person I like gave it to me earlier today."

"The person you like?" Chat choked on the last word.

She smiled dreamily. "Yeah."

"I- uh- I gotta go. Patrol you know. I have a lot of homework so if you could take that half, I'll take this one. Soyeahbye!"

Ladybug blinked, watching Chat take off without even waiting for her to reply. She wrapped the charm around her wrist like a bracelet and took off to do her own patrol.

Adrien practically fell into his room before his transformation dropped. He was still in a shocked daze. If he'd been asked, he honestly couldn't tell you what he'd seen or done on patrol that night. He'd been running on autopilot after his conversation with Ladybug. Just thinking about it sent him reeling.

Plagg flew up into his face. "Are you even listening to me?"

Adrien blinked at him. "I'm sorry, what?"

"I said, I need camembert!" Plagg rolled his eyes at his chosen.

"Yeah, yeah. In the mini fridge. Help yourself."

Plagg phased into the fridge and came back out holding a large wedge of the smelly stuff. He began to noisily devour his prize . When he was done he belched ad flew over to where Adrien was still standing. "So, what did you think of what Ladybug said tonight," he said with a grin.

"I just- I'm still trying to wrap my head around it," Adrien said.

"I know, right?"

"Ladybug is in love with . . ." His voice drifted off, and he sat heavily on the floor.

"Whoa, there. Don't short circuit yourself there, kitten."

He looked up at the black god, despair potent in his eyes. "But, Plagg, what am I going to do? Ladybug is in love with Marinette!"

Plagg face-palmed. "Oh, you've got to be freakin kidding me."

Let me know what you think and if you want to see what happens next!
