It's been five days since Mariposa akumatised three people in less than twelve hours and Tiffy hasn't seen any akumas since. He supposes that is a good thing, but the thought makes him nervous, what could Mariposa be doing? Planning her next spree of akumas? Tiffy shook his head; Mariposa is probably just drained from the last akumas and needs a break. Talking about a break, the term holidays are almost over, with only two days left, and Tiffy is excited to be able to spend time with Nessa without her controlling mother's supervision.

Tiffy stared at his phone and the contact he had open, Aiden. Tiffy decided he was going to ask the boy to be his model, usually, Tiffy puts his makeup looks on himself but today he was missing Aiden. He took a deep breath, "Okay, can do this!"

Tiffy pressed the number, and it started to ring. "Hello?"

"Hi, Aiden! This is Tiffy! I was wondering if you wanted to come over to mine?"

"No offence to Quartz but I'm not really in the mood for-"

"Oh, I mean, just the two of us?"

"Oh, oh." Tiffy almost bit off his tongue as Aiden went quiet. "Like a date?"

Tiffy blushed, this was kind of like a date when he thought about it, they would be alone in Tiffy's bedroom, hanging out and getting to know each other while Tiffy put makeup on Aiden's face. Tiffy wouldn't mind if this was a date, but he wasn't sure Aiden would be too. "No. Friends." Tiffy heard a pained grunt come from Aiden, "You, okay?"

"I'm fine, it's fine. I just haven't been feeling the best lately," Tiffy could hear a strain in Aiden's voice that made him believe Aiden wasn't 'fine'. "I'll love to come over, I'll be there in ten." The call ended before Tiffy could say anything else.

The boy turned to his kwami who shrugged in response, "Don't ask me about your human connection, the only connection I need is with my Annie," Tiffy rolled his eyes as Plagg talked about his cheese girlfriend.

Tiffy looked around his room, it was clean, so that wasn't something he could do to pass the time. Tiffy opened his phone and started to search through the news, no mentions of a new akuma, though he did see a really cute article about baby kittens. "Dandelion, look," Tiffy said to his cat who didn't even look in response.

"Why do you talk to that thing, you know she isn't going to respond," Plagg said between bites of Annie the cheese.

Tiffy smirked as he picked up Dandelion and started to pet the kitten, he watched as Plagg scoffed before turning his attention back to Annie. Tiffy knows that secretly Plagg likes the Dandelion though he does a good job at hiding his affection. Only the other night Tiffy caught Plagg sharing his camembert with Dandelion, Tiffy had to stop him and explain that real cats are lactose intolerant. Plagg covered his actions with a roll of the eyes and scolded about how Tiffy doesn't feed her properly, which from the looks of Dandelion's large stomach, Tiffy could safely argue was a lie.

After a few minutes, he heard Ash yell out for him, "Coming!" Tiffy put the kitten on his bed and watched as hid in Tiffy's sock draw, "If you behave, I give you more cheese." Tiffy didn't hear a response from the kwami but he knew that extra cheese was a reward that Plagg couldn't pass up.

Tiffy left his room and walked over to the front door; he smiled as he saw Aiden. "Hi!" He exclaimed.

Aiden smiled half-heartedly, flinching slightly as Tiffy spoke. Tiffy frowned, did Aiden not want to come over? Was Estella in the room and forced Aiden to say yes?

"Hey," Aiden's voice was soft. Ash raised an eyebrow and looked at Tiffy, the boy shrugged. Aiden picked up on the interaction and explained, "Sorry, I just have a small headache at the moment."

Tiffy nodded, "That fine. Are you sore?"

"A little but don't worry about it. I just took some Panadol and had some water, so I'll be fine, nothing to worry about."

Tiffy bit his tongue, a part of him wanted to keep asking about it but he looked at how Aiden picked at his nails and shuffled his feet, it was clear he wanted Tiffy and Ash to let it go. "Okay. Let me show you my room."

Tiffy could had swore he saw Aiden blush at the idea, 'maybe this is a date' a small voice in the back of his head echoed. Ash smiled knowingly which Tiffy choose to ignore.

Tiffy grabbed Aiden's hand, this time Tiffy was sure Aiden blushed, as the boy's face was brighter than the smile outside. "My room is pass the 화장실."

"The what?

Tiffy turned to Aiden, "Eummm... The toilet place."

"Oh! The bathroom?"

Tiffy grinned, "Correct!"

"Woah-" Aiden looked around Tiffy's room, it was probably the same size as Aiden's, maybe a bit smaller, but his room was so well decorated, something that Aiden's room is definitely not. Aiden's room is made up of a bed, a dresser, a ceiling fan, a bedside table and a few pictures and awards from his skating hanging up on the walls. While Tiffy's room, has a single bunk bed with a table underneath, a really cool carpet in the centre, a walk-in dresser, LD lights and a few other cool things.

"You like it?"

"Totally! Your room is so cool! Where did you get your furniture from?"

"Lucas took me thrift shopping."

"Cool! I didn't know you could find stuff this cool at a thrift sho..." Aiden stopped speaking midword as he spotted a creepy-looking Chucky doll on a shelf next to a bunch of horror movie-themed masks and spider posters.

Tiffy blushed as he saw Aiden caught notice of his horror collection, he is quite proud of his collection but it isn't exactly 'on brand' for Tiffy.

"These are something," Aiden said as he went to touch the doll but then decided otherwise, it might be cursed or something, Aiden considered.

Tiffy wanted to move the attention away from his collection, "Let start?" He sat down at his desk where he had all of his makeup set up.

Aiden looked at the setup and blushed as he saw the chair right next to Tiffy's, "I've never been a model before."

"Really? Surprise to me."

Aiden tilted his head, 'is he flirting?'

Aiden walked up to the chair and sat down, "So what do I do now?"

"Stay still and chill."

"Relax?" Tiffy nodded in response, already grabbing out his makeup palette. 'relix. i can do that,' Aiden tried to convince himself. He sat still and stared at Tiffy, Tiffy started to put the makeup on Aiden's face. Aiden flinched at the touch, Tiffy pulled away, "It's fine, I'm okay, it's just cold."

Tiffy didn't believe Aiden but he listened to him anyway.

After a few moments, Aiden started to loosen up to the touch, no longer exhaling every time Tiffy stopped touching his face. He started to focus on Tiffy's art, following each movement trying to imagine what the final look is going to look like. He turned his attention to Tiffy, Aiden watched Tiffy bite his lip as he painted Aiden's face. Aiden found himself focusing on Tiffy's lips- 'no! nope, nope. bad aiden, stop that!' Aiden mentally scolded himself, don't think about your friend's lips!

"You okay?"

"What? Uh- Yeh- yep! I am a-okay!" He said, Aiden felt as his hands began to sweat, so he placed them under him legs.

"Sure..."

Aiden nodded, before turning his attention back to the bedroom. Suddenly his headache started to get even worse, he then started to remember things, "No, not now," he whispered to himself.

"What?"

"It's nothing," Aiden tried sounding reinsuring but between the pain in his head and the heat he was feeling in his hands, he was a mess.

"You need water?"

"I said it's nothing Tiffy," Aiden snapped, not even realising he had between the thumping in his head.

Tiffy placed a hand on his forehead, Aiden pushed the hand away.

Tiffy frowned, "You know, it is not good to hide." Aiden loooed up at Tiffy, wondering what he meant by that. "I hid a lot when I was little... It no good."

Aiden picked at his nails, "I'm not hiding anything, it's just- I was hit by Oracle and I don't know... I've just been feeling ill lately."

"What she say?"

"She said something about someone from my past..." Tiffy watched as an weight was lifted off Aiden's shoulders, simply at the mention of his troubles, Aiden became less stressed. "Estella doesn't know, I haven't told her yet. Please don't tell her."

Tiffy grabbed Aiden's hand, the boy gasped at the touch but didn't pull away, instead he gripped the hand tightly. "I will not tell."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."
