Chapter 12: Learning a Secret

We finally got home, well, back to Adri's mansion, but he is acting a little weird. The vibe that he is giving off is strange; however, it changes when he looks at me. I smile before lifting my bag over my shoulder before making my way over to his room. 

"So, where are you going?" I turn around to meet the blonde's eyes, feeling my heart race. His green emerald eyes peered down at me as if looking for something in my eyes. 

"To your room, where else?" Turning around again, I push myself up the stairs and into his room. Adri's room is as clean as ever, but I'm looking for a specific spot. The smell of Camembert is strong, but I ignore it. Going to my designation, I drop my bookbag and mask onto the ground. Flopping down on his couch, I let out a big huff. 

"What are you doing?" He chuckles before placing his bookbag somewhere in the room.

"What is up with these questions today?" I sit myself up onto the couch, peering over the back of it. 

"I was just curious, Angel-"

"Why do you call me Angel?" My heart kept beating faster, hearing the name come from my mouth, "The only person who calls me that is Chat Noir" Adri freezes, making my eyebrow raise.

"U-Um, coincidence?" He coughed out, "I'm going to take a shower-"

"Adri, wait-" But by then, he already ran to the bathroom and shut the door. I sigh in defeat before getting up. Something is going on here, and I am going to figure out what that is.

I push myself off the couch, looking around the whole place with my eyes. Again, the pungent smell of Camembert looms around the room. I started to hear the shower turn on, giving me about 15 minutes to look around without him here. I started off looking at his desk where his computer monitors are on. I turned on his monitors, seeing the pictures on them. 

The left one had a picture of his mother, smiling at me. My heart swole, knowing how much his mother meant to him. Turning my attention to the right screen was a picture with all of his friends. Mari, Alya, Nino, and himself smiling as Mari held up what I'm guessing is her phone. It looks like this was taken before I even arrived or even before I met Adri. He seemed so happy to be with them, wanting nothing else but to be by them. I smiled before looking at the middle monitor. 

I remembered this one. It was taken when I arrived in Paris. 

~Flashback~

"Are we there yet?" I yawned, trying to shake the tiredness out of my eyes. 

"Not yet, Miss Taylor. We still are ten more minutes away from Paris." I look over towards the voice, still trying to get my vision back from sleepiness. 

"Okay..." I yawned again, "Mae, can you please get me  some water?" She nodded before walking over to the bar station. I turned my head over towards the window that overlooked the water below. I was never fond of flying since I prefer to be standing on solid ground. 

"Here you go, Miss." I turned my head to Mae, who was holding a glass of water. I lifted my hand to take it from her before drinking the cold water.

"If you or anyone else needs something to drink or eat from the bar, they may do so. Just put it on the expenses tab for my parents." Her blue eyes widen before bowing down. "Also, you can call me by my first name. I've known you for how long?" I giggled before sipping the water once more.

"B-But your parents-"

"I don't see them, Mae. They are back at home, so please call me by my first name." I smiled, "Oh! If you guys want to purchase anything else when we get to Paris, you can. Here" Putting my hand into my wallet, I took out 500 euros and gave it to her.

"Wait- no, I can't-"

"Just put the leftover money to my father's tab. There are four people on this plane, except me. Split it evenly between you guys to buy something nice. I'm thankful that you guys are going out of your way to bring me to Paris. So in return, buy something for you and your guy's kiddos, alright?"

"T-Thank you, (Y/N)!" She runs off towards the front, probably to tell them about it.

It wasn't too long before we arrived at the airport and landed. 

Grabbing my purse, I got up and walked over towards the doors that were now open. From here, I could hear people excitedly talking and taking pictures of the plane. My nerves shot up, making my heart race faster. Again, crowds aren't my favorite thing to deal with- especially paparazzi.

"Alright, you can do this! You are a Talyor, for fucks sake!" I mumbled to myself before walking out. 

"IT'S (Y/N) TAYLOR!" Then all of a sudden, cameras started clicking, and people began to ask questions. I smiled and waved before making my way down the steps. 

After signing a couple of autographs and taking pictures, I was on my way over to the airport exist. Looking around the place, I saw someone holding a sign reading "(Y/N) Taylor." I walked over there, them standing in front of a white limo. 

"I am presuming that you are (Y/N) Taylor?" I smiled.

"Yes, I am. I am assuming you are Mr. Agreste's assistance, Natalie." She nods before opening the door for me. I get in and buckle myself in while Natalie shut the door. She got in as well, and we began to move.

"Will I still be able to meet Adrien at school?" I questioned, fiddling with my thumbs. I'm not going to lie; I am very nervous about meeting him in person. Scenarios popped through my head, making my heart race in fear. 

"That is what you discussed with Mr. Agreste, so that we will be dropping you off at the front entrance of his school. We already contacted the principal on your arrival, so everything is situated." Natalie moves her head towards me, "Are you planning on wearing your school uniform? Or do you need to change before arriving?" 

"No," I shook my head, "I want to be able to see Adrien as soon as possible. I'll change once we get home." She nods before looking straight ahead.

"We will be picking you up after classes are over with Adrien." I nod before looking out my window.

Five minutes have passed, and we finally arrive at the school. I'm guessing it is one of the school's break times because there are students outside looking at the limo. One of the students yells out something before I was able to open the door. I step out, feeling the breeze against me. 

"Oh my god! It's the model (Y/N) Taylor!" My eyes widen as students rush over towards me. I quickly shut the door and motioned for the limo to leave. My eyes never left the building entrance, hoping that Adri will soon come out of those doors. 

"Can you sign this?!" Students started crowding me, holding up their pens and papers. I signed a couple of them, still hearing the sounds of clicking.

"What's going on?" I move my head up again towards the entrance. Please don't ask me why I could hear that far away, but I'm glad I did. There he was, looking at his friends starting to say something. I had to do something!

"ADRI!" I yelled, pushing my way through the crowd. Some students backed off, making it easier to leave. His body went stiff before turning his body towards my voice. Before I knew it, I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist. My arms wrapped around his neck while his hands grab my legs. 

His touch made me go crazy, feeling a tingling sensation throughout my body. It felt... comforting.

"I'm sorry for not texting you back. I was sleeping on the plane." I couldn't keep my tears from falling down my face- he is here; I'm here.

"(Y-Y/N)?"

~Flashback over~

It was us holding each other in an embrace when he dropped to the ground with me. My head at the crook of his neck as one of his hands was at my back and the other at the back of my head. It then changed to when I pulled away, pinching his cheek as we looked at each other with tears in our eyes.

"That is one of my favorite photos of us." Before I could reply, I felt strong arms wrap around my waist, and their head landed on my shoulder. My heart raced, already knowing who it is.

"Who sent you this photo?"

"Nino," he signed, turning his face at the crook of my neck, "He sent it to me later that day." His hot breath against my neck made me blush. The tingling sensation is back again, but it seems to be stronger than the other times.

"C-Can you feel it?" I whispered, somehow getting a little bit confident. I have wanted to ask him this for a long time, but I never had the chance.

"Yeah..." His grip around me tightens, "Every time I touch you, I start feeling weird-"

"Tingling?" I breathe out, making him freeze for a second. I turn around in his arms so I can face him. Adri looks down at me, his emerald eyes showing something that I couldn't quite describe. However, he wasn't looking at my eyes but at my lips. I looked at him- he was biting his lip as if he was holding back. He inched his way closer to my face as I did the same for him.

That was until I saw something black fly across the room- making something clicked inside of me. A wave of power filled the room, doing something that I currently can't recall.

"PLAG!" My mouth moved on its own, not knowing what I was saying. It didn't sound like my voice; it was someone else's- but it sounded like mine at the same time.

"Shit!" Adri moved back away from me with wide eyes. 

"Get your ass over here, Plag." Again it wasn't my voice, but my lips spoke the words. Slowly, a little black figure poked out of the couch before flying over towards me.

"I'm sorry-"

"Plag, you know that you can't be flying around when other people are in the room. What if someone else saw you?" I held out my palm, and he landed on it reluctantly. 

"I just wanted some cheese..." He whined. I sighed before my body walked over towards a cabinet. The smell was strong when I opened it and handed the Camembert towards the little black cat.

"There, now be a good kitty and sit on Adrien's desk." He complied, and I turned my body towards the blonde. His eyes widened in fear and shock as his mouth slightly dropped down. My mind was running a mile a minute.

What just happened? 

"Care to explain?" I crossed my arms together.

"How did- When did- What just happened?!" 

"I put a charm in this room, so no one can hear us or see us. So you might as well start talking now." At this point, I wasn't in control of my body. However, it looks like my thoughts were still present.

"Who are you?"

"I don't have time to explain since I only have so much time to control this body. I was awoken when (Y/N)- or myself- saw that scroll in the Egyptian section of the Musem. It wasn't until I saw Plag here that I finally decided to take the reins." My body went to sit on Adri's bed, looking at Adri, "She has many questions for you, so you might as well answer them. You only have ten minutes to explain everything to her before we blackout, Chat Noir."
