Chapter 23

With the information given to him by Marinette, Adrien set out to find a dress for her. But how would he do it? She was out for hours and couldn't find one. How could he find one she loved?

"Don't you know people?" Plagg spoke up. "Like the people at your shoots. Shouldn't they know what to give her?" Adrien looked at Plagg. A huge grin formed on his face and he took his phone out.

After a few calls, he found himself in a small studio the next day. A young man and a young woman stood in front of him. "What can we help you with, bud?" asked the male. Their names were Seth and Steph, twins. They had helped with his wardrobe on numerous shoots and they became his friends.

Both had light brown hair with a couple of blonde streaks and hazel eyes. They both had soft and similar features, light freckles covered their faces and Steph's exposed shoulder. The most obvious and different feature being their height. Seth towered over his twin sister. Other than that, they were almost identical. Even their clothes were similar. Both wore a light brown sweater — Steph's was over-sized and exposed one shoulder — and dark brown pants.

"My friend has a party she's going to, a formal one. But she can't find a dress suited for the event nor one she likes. I was hoping you'd help?"

Steph took the lollipop she had in her mouth out and made a popping sound. "What does she look like and what's her size?" she asked. Adrien took his phone out and showed them some of the pictures he had. "She's a size 36." They were the pictures of her and Chat, those were the only ones he had.

Steph raised a brow, "She's a fan of Chat Noir?" Adrien nodded, "He's showing up the party and she's excited." Steph hummed. Seth took the phone and they both looked at each other before looking at the pictures. After a couple of moments they gave him the phone back.

"I think we have something," Seth smiled. Steph put the lollipop back in her mouth and went into the sea of clothing. Seth followed her and Adrien stayed put. He heard ruffling, slight complains from Steph, and chuckles from Seth.

He chuckled. Steph was rather serious and Seth was the exact opposite, being very happy and cheerful. He liked the balance between the two.

He took a look around. The clothing ranged from dark and spikey to soft and pink. The variation was very big, a contradiction to the twin's own wardrobe. They mainly wore browns and nudes.

He wandered about in the clothes, looking at the suits and jeans hanged neatly and organized. He look through the suits, maybe he could find one. He had plenty at home but maybe he'd find one he really liked.

Before he could do anymore looking around, Steph and Seth came back. In Seth's hand was a clothing bag. "Inside's the dress," Steph popped her lollipop out. "Don't peek." She narrowed her eyes at him and pointed at him with her lollipop, her arms crossed.

Adrien raised his hands and nodded. Seth chuckled and handed him the bag. "There's a matching tie, maybe you can wear it. I'm sure the dress will fit her and flatter her. She's quite pretty, she should join one of your shoots," Seth smiled. Adrien laughed awkwardly, "I'm not going to the party, and uh she's not a fan of attention so uh, I don't think I'll take her to a shoot."

Seth and Steph looked at each, Seth with an amused look and Steph with a raised brow. Adrien said his goodbye and left. "He's head over heels for that girl," Seth chuckled. Steph popped her lollipop, "Yup."

When he got home, he placed the dress on his bed. He really wanted to take a peek but he had a feeling Steph would find out and choke him with her lollipop.

Adrien physically shuddered at the thought. He shook his head and decided to go leave the dress at her place and then go out for patrol. He knew Alya was going to take Marinette out again so he didn't have to worry about his surprise being ruined.

He transformed and jumped from rooftop to rooftop, trying to be careful with the dress. He made his way over to Marinette's place and sure enough, Marinette wasn't home. He opened her window — which she probably left open for him — and stepped inside.

He went up to her bed and carefully placed the bag. Content with himself, he left and went to patrol the city.

After half an hour of strolling, he found Ladybug resting on a rooftop. He made his way over and greeted her with his usual grin. "Hello, my lady!"

Ladybug (who was sitting down) looked up at him and smiled rather weakly. Chat frowned, "LB, are you ok?" Now he was fully concerned.

Ladybug waved him off. "I'm fine Chat, really." "How come you told Chloe to keep the party private?"

Ladybug shrugged, "I just don't want to deal with all the media and news for a day." Chat knew that was a lie. He could tell when she lied. "That's a lie and you know it."

Ladybug sighed, "It's not a lie. I'm just tired?"

"Ladybug, please tell me what's actually going on."

"Drop it Chat! Just leave me alone!" she snapped. Chat blinked and stepped back in surprise. Ladybug stood up and swung her yoyo, pulling on it and leaving a confused Chat behind. Ladybug had never snapped at him. Even with all the stupid mistakes he had made in the past. Hell, even when he snapped at the news reporters.

What could've happened to Ladybug?
