"You can do this," Ladybug mutters to herself. "You're Ladybug, you can do almost anything."

Taking a deap breathe, she lowers herself down towards the giant bar-like windows that lay below her via her yo-yo. When she gets to the window that happens to be left ajar she knocks softly a few times, hoping that it's enough to alert the teenage boy inside.

The last time she was here as Ladybug the Akuma Simon Says was on the loose and she didn't have much time to look at his room as she was being chased by his 'army' but now she could see it clearly. The room had unique features such as a skate ramp, a zip line and a few old arcade machines. It even had a library on the second floor!

Having heard the knocks, Adrien turns his head towards the window to see Ladybug smile nervously and give him a small timid wave. He places down the game controller he was using and walks over to the window, a look of awe and bewilderment displayed across his face.

"Ladybug, what are you doing here?" He politely questions as he reaches the open window that she's perched upon. "N-not that I'm complaining of course!" He suddenly exclaims, not wanting her to her the wrong idea.

His nervous outburst causing her to giggle. She had hardly ever seen him flustered before after all.

"I came to check up on you," She answers and gives him a soft smile. "You've been caught up in a lot of Akuma attacks lately." Really, this was just the excuse she had been practicing to say so that it looked like she had a reason to visit. Her real reason was just that she wanted to see him.

Adrien's look of confusion changed to one Of shock at hearing that Ladybug was coming to check up on him of all people as he's not the only one that frequently gets caught up in the action. As his civilian form that is, but she doesn't know that he's been caught up in every attack due to him being Chat Noir.

"Oh, I'm doing okay but thanks for asking." He manages to squeak out after a moment of hesitation while glancing around his room warily, seemingly having an internal debate going through his head.

"Would-would you like to come in?" He offers, smiling sheepishly at her and offering her his hand.

She smiles back at him, a blush dusting her face and an internal panic going on through her head as Adrien just asked her to hang out with him. Of course, that was her true intention all along and it had taken an hours worth of failed attempts to knock that just ended with her retreating back to the roof before he could notice that she was ever there. She also detransformed at one point and received an encouraging pep talk from Tikki.

"I-I would love to. What were you playing before I arrived?" She asks and he beams as she takes his hand and climbs in from her perch on the window.

"Ultimate Mecha Strike 3, do you want to play?" He responds and she nods excitedly.

A few hours later the two of them are

battling it out in an intense match, Ladybug dominating the game as Adrien began to desperately button mash in an attempt to gain victory and finally defeat her.

Ultimately, he ended up failing.

"Best 9 out of 10?" He tried to bargain as she shook her head while giggling after celebrating her 7th win in row, Adrien only managing to beat her two times beforehand by only a fraction of their health points.

As she looked over to see his pleading eyes she noticed a clock displaying the current time behind him and gasps at the time being displayed.

1:30 am

She guesses that they must have lost track of time as they went from playing Mecha Strike to using the Dance Dance Revolution machine and back to UMS again.

"I need to go! It's really late and I'm sorry for keeping you up Adrien. Bye!" She exclaims and kisses him on the cheek before clumsily jumping out of the still open window and swinging away into the night.

He waves as she disappears into the distance and, once she's out of sight, whispers to himself.

"Goodbye M'Lady."
