Thanks to todays camp activity being an orienteering game, Marc and Nathaniel could use that to their advantage. The camp ground was big, and fenced in very dense with trees and bushes and easy to get lost in. Although thanks to the fences you could always find your way back, as long as you followed the fence you'd make it back to the front gates.

So they didn't have any concerns about slipping away mid navigation through the bush and pretending to accidentally get separated from the group leaving Adrien and Luka alone. The staff had put everyone into groups of four, thanks to the dorms being broken up into groups of four that made determining groups easy. The task was to navigate the camp grounds and find 8 hidden hole punches, punch your card in each one to prove you found it and then come back to the meeting point. First group back won choice of dessert for the night.

Although Marc and Nathaniel didn't mind giving up that first prize for the sake of their plan. It was so obvious Adrien and Luka were on the verge of kissing each other after their conversation last night, they just needed to be alone and in the right situation for it to finally happen.

So the two slowly but surely trailed further and further behind Adrien and Luka until they could slip away unnoticed, taking the map and card with them to finish the task and leave the couple to be to their own devices. As long as you found the fence they'd be able to find their way back so they didn't feel bad for ditching them at all. It was an 'accident' after all.

"Shit, can't see them anywhere. Guess we sped on ahead a bit too fast" Luka sighed.

"They must have stopped to read the map and we didn't notice and kept going" Adrien replied.

They looked around, nothing but bush and leaves.

"Oh well, just keep heading straight until we hit the fence. Then we can follow it back" Luka shrugged.

The two continued their walk, trusting the others would keep on punching holes at each stop anyway. They probably wouldn't be the first back but they could make it back before lunch at least.

"We were talking too much" Adrien chuckled.

"What where we talking about? We were jumping from topic to topic, I lost track" Luka laughed.

"No idea. By the way, did you hear Marc and Nath talking last night? Or was I dreaming?"

"I didn't, must have been asleep"

Adrien could have sworn he heard them whispering about something last night as he was falling asleep, but he couldn't make it out. It could have just been a dream, or maybe one of them was sleep talking again.

"They were probably just being saps for each other as always" Luka said.

"Oh probably, all they do is cuddle and call each other names" Adrien replied.

"Such simps"

It was so sickeningly sweet you'd get diabetes just watching them. Although Adrien definitely wouldn't mind having someone to snuggle like that... and he definitely wouldn't mind it being Luka. Ever since the group had talked about relationships last night, and the couple had joked about Luka being available, Adrien hadn't been able to stop thinking about it.

He did like Luka, he knew for a while but always pushed it aside because he didn't want to overstep anything. He only broke up with Mari a few months ago, so Adrien didn't want to make any moves in case Luka was still getting over that. He seemed fine, but knowing Luka who tended to push his own feelings aside for others, Adrien worried maybe he was still dealing with it internally. He has no idea how long you were meant to wait after a breakup to date again, that was a social cue he could never figure out.

"Speaking of, just wanted to double check... you are like... safe right? Like your dads not going to go ballistic if he finds out you're bi?" Luka asked.

"Oh... uh... actually I don't know. I feel like he would, but he's also the face of a massive company and being homophobic would be really bad publicity so even if he was he may not say anything about it? I just don't want him to know just in case. I think he'd go ballistic no matter who I dated though, unless it was someone he hand picked to fit the damn brand" Adrien replied.

"Honestly I wouldn't be surprised. But if anything ever does happen you can always hide at my place ok? My whole damn family is gay you'll fit in"

"Thank you. Your mum must have been amused to find out both her twin children were queer"

"She wasn't surprised. At this point I think she just wants to collect the rainbow whole set. She's got a lesbian daughter, a bisexual son, all she needs now is a non binary ace or something"

Adrien snickered, if only he had a mum like that. He was sure his mum would have accepted him though, no doubt about it.

But Luka checking up on him and his safety was one of the many things that had made him slowly but surely fall so in love. He cared so deeply and made sure Adrien knew it, he was the only person who actually asked him if he was ok and offered help with no strings attached. Adrien needed that, he needed that support.

He was about to thank him again, but as he was walking he didn't notice the root sticking out of the ground and his foot got caught, causing him to stumble over and land face first into the bark and leaves that covered the ground.

"Adrien! You ok?" Luka slightly panicked, immediately stopping and turning to help.

Adrien pushed himself up and brushed off the dirt from his shirt.

"Ow... I'm fine, Damnit that better not have stained my shirt" he replied.

Luka offered a hand, which Adrien took with a slight blush and with one swift pull he was back on his feet.

"Oh god- your knees-" Luka said.

Looking down at his legs, he found them now covered in blood. The sharp edges of the bark and rocks on the ground cutting his knees open. He'd not even noticed, thinking the slight pain was just from the impact of falling.

"Oh sh-" Adrien stammered.

"See this is why I'm always prepared, and why I get called the mum friend all the time" Luka replied, reaching into his pockets.

Pulling out a handful of bandaids and a small pack of tissues, he was truly prepared for everything. He gently pushed Adrien over to a fallen tree, making him sit up on it.

"Give me your water bottle, can't patch up dirty cuts unless you want an infection" Luka said.

Adrien handed him the water bottle, watching intently as Luka poured some of it over the blood to wash it away and cleaned up the gashes with the tissues.

"Be careful Adri, you scare me to death sometimes. You're always getting bruised up from all that damn sport you play as it is..." Luka said.

Yeah... from the sport. Not because he was getting thrown across Paris by akumas on the reg, totally not.

"I guess I'm clumsy"Adrien shrugged.

"Guess I must have a thing for attracting clumsy people then" Luka replied.

Adrien felt his face flush at that comment, he was certainly right... he definitely had attached this clumsy person. Lukas hands were soft, aside from the fingers he used to play guitar which were slightly rougher from his fingers pressing and sliding on the strings, but as he stuck the bandaids on Adrien's knees and smoothed them down, all Adrien could think of was those soft hand against his cheek, intertwined with his hands... on his thighs maybe...

"There, you sure you're ok?" Luka asked.

"Y-yeah... thanks" Adrien replied.

Luka took his hands again, this time to pull him off the fallen tree and keep him on his feet when he landed. When his feet hit the ground and he felt the weight of his body on his legs, there was a slight sting around his knees. But it wasn't so bad he couldn't walk.

He looked up, realising just how closely he'd landed to Luka. They were basically toe to toe, nose to nose. And Luka hadn't let go of his hands yet...

"You worry me sometimes Adrien" Luka admitted.

"Don't be worried, cats always land on their feet. But I very much appreciate the concern" Adrien replied.

He was so caught up in the racing heartbeat and thoughts he didn't even realise that cat phrase that was oh so similar to the type of thing a certain back cat would always say. Luka narrowed his eyes and cracked a slight smile, seemingly knowing but not saying anything about it. Adrien wondered if Luka knew, or if he was just overthinking it and Luka was just glad he was ok.

"Hey uh... thank you... for always worrying about me. And helping me all the time" Adrien said, he felt like by now Luka must notice how red his cheeks were.

"You're a ray of sunshine Adrien, I'll always be there for you" Luka replied.

Finally the tension that had built between them since the second that conversation last night started broke, they were so close and so caught up in the moment it was like two magnets being pulled to each other. And their lips touched, their hands still linked and Adrien having to stand up on his toes slightly to reach Luka's height.

Their hearts raced, their minds raced and it was right about now they realised... did Nath and Marc leave them alone on purpose?

Luka broke the kiss, the cogs turning in his brain for a moment.

"Those bastards left us on purpose didn't they?" He said.

"Yeah probably..." Adrien replied.

Luka sighed, they did it. They got them to kiss.

"Well... I can't say I'm mad at them but Damnit those sneaky bastards..." Luka said.

Adrien laughed, they'd have to give them a bit of a playful whack when they got back.

"How long you think they've been trying to push us together?" Adrien asked.

"Probably a while... two can play at that game. I'm sleeping on your bunk with you tonight just to challenge them to a 'we're cuter than you' duel" Luka joked.

"Oh please do, I sleep better with something warm to hug" Adrien smiled.

Luka smiled down at him, placing a kiss on his cheek and keeping his hand linked with Adrien's as they began to continue heading back to camp.

"Your father doesn't need to know about this. But what do you say were boyfriends now? Feels like we kind of have been for a while just didn't actually address it" Luka asked.

"I'd like that... a lot. I'd like that a lot. In all honesty I've liked you for a while, I just didn't want to do anything too soon in case you were still torn up a the break up" Adrien replied.

"Ah, you sweetheart. I'm alright, actually I've had my eye on you for a while too, you were he one who helped me through the breakup after all"

They managed to make it back to the meeting point, still holding hands and having talked about the future of their new relationship all the way back. And just as they thought, Marc and Nathaniel were already there with all the holes punched into the card, activity finished.

"Oh there you are! Sorry I think we took a wrong turn" Nathaniel said.

"Suurreee you did..." Luka replied.

Marc and Nath gave them knowing looks, glancing down at their held hands.

"You bastards" Luka snickered.

"It worked didn't it?" Marc teased.

Luka sighed, looking over at Adrien and giving his hand a squeeze.

"Yeah..."

Marc and Nathaniel high fived, giggling like they'd gotten away with a prank.

"Jokes on you, we're the cutest couple in the dorm now" Adrien teased.

"How dare you? That's our title" Marc joked.

"You dumbasses just challenged yourselves to a duel against us"

The two grabbed hands, giving the new couple a playful glare.

"You're on, you fucking gays" Nath said.

"Bring it, you fucking fruits" Luka replied.

This would be an interesting rest of the week at camp...
