A/n: this was originally a fic idea I had like last year, but I couldn't draw it out into a full story so you'll be getting it in a 3-4 part oneshot series instead.

Luka was having a pretty normal day today. Do some deliveries, pick up some stuff for his mum and head back home. He wasn't expecting a letter to be waiting for him at home but when he pulled his bike back onto the deck of the boat, his mother called him over holding an envelope for him.

"What's this?" He asked.

"No idea, but it's addressed to you" she replied.

Taking the envelope he read his name and address on it, and tried to recall anything that would need a letter sent to him. He couldn't think of anything though so he opened it not knowing what it was. Inside he found two papers, one a hand written note and one a printed and letter pressed one.

Hey, its Adrien.
My dad is having a black tie event for the new line and said I could invite someone. So I figured I'd invite you since we've gotten to be close since I joined the band and we haven't had the chance to hang out, just the two of us yet. It's formal so you'll need a suit, and since I'm one of the models I'll be wearing something from the new line. The invite is in in here with the details too. It ends late to I convinced Nathalie to let you stay the night. Hope you can come :)

Sure enough behind the letter was an invite to the event, it had golden pressed letters in a cursive font with the brand logo in the corner. It was an offical invite some for sure.

"Wow, look at you being invited to such a fancy event" his mother commented, reading it over his shoulder.

"I know, definitely want expecting that. But it seems interesting. I've never been to an event like this before, and if Adrien managed to convince his father to let him have a friend over it must be a pretty big deal for him" Luka replied.

"Will you go?"

"Of course! He's missed a few band practices because of this line, I want to see how it turned out. And just be there to support him... although I'll need a suit"

"I know where to get a good one, plus you'll need one for other events like graduation and ball in a next year. It's about time we got one for you" His mother said.

Well, it seemed Luka was going to a fancy black tie event. He'd never been to one before and he was already pretty existed for see what it was like. He'd RSVP to the offical email, but felt like he should also give Adrien the confirmation in person when he went by his school to pick up Juleka on Monday.

"I've heard rumours about this line go around, apparently it's nothing like the past lines as is very glamorous and couture. Makes me wonder that they'll have Adrien wear, usually they put him in casuals and suits for billboards" Luka added.

"I've heard about those rumours too. You better get me some pictures of these outfits, I wanna see what they're like" his mother replied.

"I'll definitely be taking photos"

If he was allowed that is... are photos allowed at these events? Maybe he should do a little research on fashion events.  While Luka went inside to RSVP, Adrien was with the stylist getting fitted for said event. He'd never worn something this extravagant before, and as the seamstresses pinned things in place around him, he looked at his reflection a little worried.

"It's so... flash" he said.

"It's a beautiful piece. I promise when it's done it'll look amazing" the stylist said.

"What's the makeup like?"

One of the stylists picked up a binder full of reference photos to show Adrien, and again he was a little worried. He'd only ever worn natural makeup for photoshoots but this was VERY flamboyant.

The whole look was black swan themed.

They planned to slick his hair back, give him dark Smokey eyes and rhinestones along the edges. The outfit was lace and satin, a body suit with a lace bodice and silky gloves to match the flared pants. He'd wear platforms, and the whole thing was lined with elaborate swirls in rhinestones. And to top it all off, a massive cloak of sheer black fabric shaped like feathers and detailed with shiny stitching.

A massive step up from hoodies and suits.

"I'm not sure this will suit me... I usually do casuals" he muttered.

"Nonsense darling! This will look Devine on you! Your father assigned the most elaborate outfit to you for a reason, he knows you'll suit it best" the stylist replied.

The whole line was similar to this, elaborate detailed almost costume like pieces each themed around some kind of myth or fairytale. It was clear that the inspiration behind his outfit was along the lines of swan lake. Black swans symbolised Devine feminine beauty and softness. He wasn't exactly sure why he was given a feminine symbolism as a boy, but he could make a few guesses.

Either the line was playing with androgynous looks or it was dedicated to his mother. A lot of designs were dedicated to his mother nowadays.

In truth, Adrien was worried about the whole night. Not only because the outfit was out of his comfort zone, but because these events tend to make his father more stressed and when he's stressed... things never go well for Adrien. He constantly felt like he was walking on eggshells around his dad anyway, but when there's stress and pressure involved it's like those eggshells are unavoidable.

One wrong move... that's all it would take.

That's why he invited Luka, because he know that if something does go wrong, Luka would be there to swoop in and help him. He always did.
