Cheesy Night

After Plagg finished his cheese, he floated over and fell asleep on your pillow, so Adrien decided to stay a little while.

Which of course, was fine with you.

Now you are sitting on the bed, with Adrien beside you.

"So I know you probably didn't want to get into it in front of my parents, but how are you really? I mean, after going through all that?" You ask gently.

"Well, I'm not even sure how to feel. This entire time, it was my dad doing all that to Paris, my friends, even some of our staff, who I'd think of as family. My bodyguard, he was akumatized, and though he doesn't really talk, I know he cares about me. He usually shows me more compassion than my father."

"Wow, Adrien. That's awful, I'm so sorry!"

"It's not your fault! I guess what's really hurt the most, is the looks I've gotten from people. Like when I go in public, some people will give me dirty looks, as if I told my father to do it, or that I would be capable of doing the things he did. He may be my dad, but I would never hurt Paris and it's people like him!" He says, eyes watery.

"I know you wouldn't, Kitty. They don't know you, so they wouldn't know that you wouldn't, but it still doesn't give them the right to treat you like that!"

He gives you a half smile, and says "Thanks, Angel. I just wish there was some way to show them that I'm nothing like my father."

"Maybe there is?" You say, questioningly.

"Like what? The biggest difference is I'm one of the people saving Paris from him, but I couldn't tell people that!"

"Yeah, definitely not."

"And then there's the press, always bombarding me, asking what's next in my career, when I've never really even liked modeling. If I never did it again I'd be happy!"

"Then don't! Do something you love!"

"But I don't know what that is!"

"The good thing is, you don't have to worry about it yet. We're young, we have a few years before we have to get an actual job. Plus, you still have money, right? Being famous and all." You say and laugh.

"Yeah, and I could probably sell lots of stuff if I needed to."

"See, there ya go. No need to worry."

"You're right. How is it I always feel better after talking to you?" He asks, grinning.

"I just have that effect, I guess." You shrug exaggeratedly.

He laughs and puts his arm around your shoulders, pulling you into a side hug.

You smile and lay your head on his shoulder.

He presses his lips to the top of your head, making you smile.

"So did your family say anything about me after I left?" He asks.

"My mom told me she thinks you're cute. I agreed." You inform him.

He laughs, and says "I think you're cute too!"

You giggle and take his hand.

"I'm glad they liked you. Maybe you can come hang out more often?" You ask hopefully.

"Maybe. Especially if your mom makes that ratatouille again!"

You laugh, and say, "She might, if you ask nicely."

"And when do I ever do something not nicely?" He asks, faking offense.

"Well, I bet Felix wouldn't call you too nice." You point out.

"Ha, Felix doesn't say anything is nice. And if he's the only one, I think I'll be alright."

Chuckling, you agree.

"What're you gonna do about him, anyway? Like what if he tries to tell people who you are?" You ask, worried.

"Then I'll sic Plagg on him. That'll keep him in line." He jokes.

"Yeah, he looked so scared of him!" You say while laughing.

"He has a right too, I've seen Plagg crumble a whole street with one breath!"

"Seriously!?"

"Oh yeah, if you think the one with the destruction powers, you should see him. He's apparently the reason dinosaurs aren't around."

"No way!"

"Way."

"How is he that old?!"

"Kwamis are like, immortal. When a new idea is made, a kwami forms. They don't have parents or anything, they probably think of themselves as a family, but I don't think they're actually related."

"That's pretty cool."

"Oh yeah! And there's lots of different ones too!"

"Like what?"

"Well you know Plagg and Kaalki, of course, and Ladybug's, kwami, I think her name is Tikki. Then Rena Rouge's kwami, Trixx. Carapace has Wayzz, Viperon has Sass, and there's tons more!"

"And they're all like animals?"

"Yep! There's a rabbit, monkey, mouse, dog, tiger, pig, goat, you name it. There's probably a kwami."

"Neat!!" Hearing about this gets you excited, you want to meet them.

"I know! I haven't met them all, but I want to."

"I wish I could." You say sadly.

"Me too."

"Hey, what was Hawkmoth's kwami?" You ask.

"Butterfly. And Mayura was peacock. Nooroo and Dusuu." He answers.

"Aw. Poor little guys."

"Yeah. They were not meant for evil purposes."

"At least they're safe now."

"Whew, thankfully."

"Speaking of them, did you ever find out where that random akuma came from?"

"Nope. Ladybug said she must've dropped the butterfly, but she found it again, apparently. Though I think she's actually the one that sent it!"

"No!" You say, jaw dropping.

"Yes! It did want us apart, and that very day Ladybug came flirting with me."

"True. She was the last one to have it, after all."

"Yep. She's changed, I don't know what happened."

"Me either. It's too bad, really."

"Yeah. She's a good partner."

"Do you still, uh, still have feelings for her?" You ask, slightly dreading the answer.

"Not at all. You don't have to worry about that!"

You sigh in relief, then realize how that probably sounds.

"Not that I was worried or anything, I just didn't want you to be unhappy!"

At this he takes both of your hands in his, and looks into your eyes.

"Y/n. I am happier with you than I ever have been. I may have had other crushes over the years, but being with them never made me as happy as you do. With you, I can truly be myself. Nobody else am I able to do that with. I love you, y/n, and I don't want to be with anyone besides you."

You feel your cheeks turning red, and try to come up with a response.

"I feel the same way, you're my best friend, and I'm so happy with you. I love you too!"

He lets go of your hands, and wraps them around your waist, hugging you tightly. You return it, until he pulls away slightly.

Leaning in slowly, he claims your lips with a passionate kiss.

Returning it, you continue until you have to pull away for air.

Taking a deep breath, you look at him and smile, which he mimics.

As you're about to lean in again, you hear a cough behind you.

"You guys are nasty. And as gooey as cheese! 'Oh, I love you soooo much! Mwah mwah mwah!' Blech!" Plagg protests, making both you and Adrien burst into laughter.

"Oh come on, Plagg. Don't you have a girlfriend?" You tease.

"No way! My cheese loves me, and that's enough."

"Suuree. Because you like to go see Tikki for no reason?" Adrien says.

"That's kwami business!"

"Uh huh." Adrien replies smugly.

"Whatever. Come on, can we go home? It's so late!"

"Why does it matter? You've been sleeping."

"I need more cheese."

"Ugh, fine. Claws out!"

"Byyeeeeeee!" Plagg says to you as he's pulled away.

You giggle, and walk out to the balcony with Cat.

"Goodnight, my Angel." He says.

"Goodnight, my Kitty." You reply, giggling.

He leans down, giving you a lingering kiss, before pulling away, winking, and leaping off.
