CHAPTER FOUR!
───the bubbler.

SLEEPING SOUNDLY IN HER room, [y/n] snuggles under her covers, enjoying the warmth of her bed. fenrir was the same as laying in his own makeshift bed on the bedside table.

with soft and carefully steps, sebastian enters the room, seeing the girl sound asleep. he almost felt bad that he had to wake her up as per her schedule for today.

"young master. it is time for you to wake up." sebastian softly says, entering her room and pulling up the curtains that laid against her windows.

it wasn't until the sunlight's hues hits her delicate face that she grumbles and slowly blinks her eyes open. the [h/c] haired girl groans, silently wishing she was still asleep.

"late patrol, i'm assuming." he teases her as he pours her a class of water to so she can hydrate.

"mhm." she hums, rubbing her eyes and stretches her body. "a bank robbery unexpectedly happened, a very crafty bunch those idiots."

finally getting the energy to sit up, [y/n] yawns as she takes the cup from sebastian's hands. nodding as a silent thank you before drinking.

"today for breakfast, if you want something light, i've prepared a simple fruit salad, containing fresh strawberries, banana, grapes and oranges." he suggests, watching her and making sure she drinks all of her water.

once she was done, she sighs in satisfaction and hands back the cup to her butler. "but if you want something else, i've also prepared freshly-baked strawberry muffins. which will you be choosing today?"

though still sleepy, she chooses her pick. "the strawberry muffins. i'm in the mood for something sweet." she says as she goes to wake up fenrir.

"alright." sebastian nods and bows a bit, "i'll prepare them for you then."

he leaving, giving her the privacy she needs to do the rest of her morning routine. until he remembers something very important that he needed to tell her.

"please remember, young master." he says, gaining her attention. "that today is your best friend's birthday."

she blinks, letting it click on what date it was today. she can't help but quirk up a smile. "thank you for reminding me, sebastian."

he returns her smile genuinely, "anytime, it is my job as your butler after all."

AFTER QUICKLY FINISHING her morning routine and getting for today, [y/n] begins to head out for school.

by the front door of the penthouse, sebastian hands her school bag along with the gift meant for adrien.

"i hope you have good today, young master." he smiles, watching her double check everything.

"thank you, sebastian." she sighs, relieved she had all she needed before looking at her butler. but at the sight of him, it makes her frown.

confused, the dark haired butler tilts his head. "something wrong?"

"no, it's just..." she trails, pursing her pretty lips into a thin line. "i've never liked leaving you alone." she shrugs dismissively, looking up at him. "even back at the manor, someone was there for you and alfred."

the fact she was worried about simple butler like himself, it soften his heart. the boundaries of [y/n]'s kindness knew no bounds it seems.

sebastian chuckles in response before patting her head lovingly. "i'm grateful you care so much. but i assure you, i''ll be fine."

[y/n] sighs a bit dejectedly and pouts. "if you say so..."

the butler holds in another laugh, 'oh this girl is adorable.' he thinks to himself, smiling gently.

"now, run along. you don't wanna be late?"

"right! see you later sebastian!"

and with that, sebastian watches her leave with a satisfied expression on his face.

AT COLLÈGE FRANÇOSIE dupont, adrien and his other best friend, nino lahiffe stand by the steps waiting for [y/n] join them soon.

"dude, seriously?" nino exclaims, blowing bubbles as he hears what adrien was telling him. "as your dad always been such a downer?"

adrien was already over what happened his morning at home. he's used to the cold treatment given to him by his reclusive father.

but it's stinging a little harder than it
did on most days.

"you'd think he'd at least remember what it was like to be young and wanna party a little?" the dark haired boy continues, still not believing it.

the blonde boy looks at his friend, amused. "nah, i'm pretty sure he was downer back then, too." but his expression saddens as he shrugs. "well, at least i tried."

then, nino wraps an arm around his shoulder, attempting to cheer him up. "it's your b-day, dude! insist."

nearby, hiding in the bushes were alya and marinette watching the two boys talk. the blue haired girl was holding a wrapped present, presumably meant for adrien.

"you can do it. you can do it!" alya hypes her up so that she won't get nervous this time.

marinette takes a deep breath, nodding. "i can do it. i can do it!" she repeats to herself.

back with the two boys, nino suggests an idea. "you know what? i'm gonna have a little convo with your pops."

adrien shakes his head, "don't waste your time." he says, looking downward before gazing up at his friend again. "he's not going to change his mind."

in the background, marinette stands up, working up the courage to give adrien her gift. but her legs shake in nervously before she immediately hides again.

"i can't do it! i can't do it!" she whispers, burying her head in her knees.

alya sighs for what is like the 100th time that morning and facepalms. then, she puts her hands on her hips, firm. "no you don't girl. you've been stalling all morning!"

she glances up and looks back at her friend repeatedly as she talks. "if you're gonna do it, now's the— oh."

her voice drop confuses marinette, making her also look and she can't help but be jealous as a certain someone walk up behind adrien to surprise adrien.

as he stands there without knowing, delicate hands slide around his eyes covering his vision. he feels a cool breath graze his ear making him shiver.

"guess who~" a very familiar voice sings to him and his day had already gotten better, knowing exactly who it was.

but, deciding to play this little game of her's, he brings his hand to his chin, humming thoughtfully. "is it the, tooth fairy?"

"pfft?! what?!" she giggles, not believing what she was hearing and even nino had a laugh. "no way! guess again, sunshine!"

even though the nickname gave her away, adrien was having way too much fun with this. he continues to act like as if he had no idea who could it a be.

"my long lost brother?"

"okay, you know what? enough!"

a laugh bubbles up within adrien, his heart bursting with happiness. he softly grabs the hands that covered his eyes before turning around to face the person behind.

"happy birthday adrien!" [y/n] greets, looking up at him with excitement and her beautiful [e/c] eyes shimmering.

adrien feels his heart race, so undeniably happy that she was here to greet him. he returns the grin, his face dusting with pink. "thank you, [y/n]. it means a lot."

before he could say anything else, he was handed a medium sized pastel green gift bag with matching decorative paper. he blinks surprised, looking between it and [y/n].

was this for him?

noting of his expression, [y/n] giggles a bit. "what? you'd think i wouldn't get you a present?" she teases cheekily, gently poking his nose, "you better believe i'm spoiling you!"

"nice going dudette!" nino complements grinning, raising his hand for a high-five and she gladly returns it.

then, he grabs his best friend by the shoulders from behind him, shaking him back and forth lightly. "open it dude, open!" he says, clearly excited for him.

adrien doesn't hesitate, not even trying to hold back his overjoyed smile. he's never gotten a present like this, of course maybe from fans but those were never important to him.

peeking inside the bag and his emerald-green eyes sparkle at what it is. the first that caught his eye was the green plushie shaped like a dragon.

next, was the abundance of loose candy in the bag, all of his favorite flavors. then, there was the first volume of the manga of one of his favorite series.

and finally, which he quickly fished out of the bag, was a key chain of one of his favorite anime characters.

[the presents she gave him!]

undoubtedly feeling nervous, [y/n] fidgets with her pretty fingers, watching adrien admire the keychain like it's the most precious jewel he's ever seen.

"do you, uh..." she stammers, rubbing the back of her neck, feeling her stomach twist and turn. "do you like it?"

"like it?" adrien repeats, looking at [y/n] like she's everything he's ever wanted. she squeals when he suddenly picks her up in a hug and spins her around. nino even laughs, grabbing his phone to take a picture of them, happy for the two. which in turn, gets them laughing.

in the background, alya cringes a bit, feeling bad for her friend. while marinette continued to look down sadly at her present.

adrien soon sets [y/n] down, holding her by the shoulders, smiling like he's the happiest boy on earth. "i love it, [y/n]! i've never gotten something like this before!"

his smile makes the girl's heart squeeze, ecstatic, that he loved it. "and there's more where that came from, promise." she reveals, with a teasing wink.

"there's more?" he exclaims as he immediately attaches the keychain to his bag.

[y/n] hums and nods, smiling and noticing his action. "of course, for all the b-days i missed!" she lightly punches his chest. "you're my best friend. missing these kind of special dates are a big no-no."

adrien thought she couldn't get anymore kinder but someway and somehow she did. 'god, she's the best.'

suddenly, a girly scream was heard and marinette appears out of seemingly no where almost falling, which scared the three friends.

but [y/n] realizing who it was, she smiles instead. "hey, mari! where have you been all morning?"

though envious on how close she was with adrien, marinette can not deny how lovable and kind [y/n] is. she's known that since day one of meeting her and it hasn't changed since.

"i've just been busy! that's all!" the blue haired girl lies nervously, hiding the present behind her back.

the [h/c] haired girl raises a brow amusingly, obviously seeing that she is hiding something. then, she looks behind her, finding alya watching this whole thing go down.

'i get it. marinette has a present for adrien and she's been stalling all morning.' she assumes, looking back to her, standing there awkwardly in front of her crush. 'i'll help her out!'

"mari," [y/n] drags her nickname, wrapping and arm around her. "don't you have something to say?"

marinette looks at her, nervous but the pretty girl only gave an encouraging smile which confuses her greatly.

'is she encouraging me?' marinette thinks, not even realizing it. the grip on her present for boy tightens and takes the action to her heart, building up courage.

"i just wanted to say..." marinette starts, facing adrien with a brave face, slowly bringing out the present. alya and [y/n] who watched her, grow excited smiles on their faces.

"that, uh, happy-"

"ADRIENKINSSS!"

all hope was shattered the moment they heard the irritating voice cholè bourgeois, the mayor's daughter.

pushing marinette out of the way, the blonde girl rushes over to adrien and throwing his arms around him.

[y/n] was there to catch her just in time before she could hit the ground. the dark-blue haired girl thanks her friend with a sheepish smile before both of them turn to look to see cholè all over adrien, saying happy birthday.

'i can bet she forgot it was his birthday...'

adrien back away a bit, uncomfortable with the closeness but smiles awkwardly nonetheless. "thank you, chloè."

"did you get the gift i sent you?" she asks him in loving manner, her arms around his neck.

"um..." adrien gazes at her confused, trying to remember if something from his friend was gifted to him. "no, did you send one?" he raises a brow, looking at her puzzled.

hearing thi,  the blonde backs off from him and gasps. "what?! oh, those delivery guys!" she groans, rubbing her temple in annoyance. "i bet it was too heavy so they had to go back and get another guy to help."

this only confirmed [y/n]'s suspicions that chloè did forget it was adrien's birthday. looks like marinette and even nino knew it as well as all three them gave each other a knowing look.

promising him that her gift will be sent to him tonight, chloè kisses in cheek in goodbye before walking off, humming in delight.

knowing she was gone, [y/n] nudges marinette, making the girl look at her. she gestures her head to her best friend, "go, give him the gift." she whispers to her, smiling.

the blue haired once again feels the anxiety pile up in her stomach as all the confidence she had once before was all gone. but before anything else could be done, there was honk.

it was adrien's ride, ready to pick him up. the blonde boy smiles sadly, looking to his friend. "gotta go, photo shoot." he says, waving them goodbye.

they watch as he gets in and the limousine drives away quickly, way too quickly before marinette even had the chance.

"big yikes." [y/n] cringes feeling extremely sad for her friend as she and nino watch the limousine disappear from their sights.

deciding this was enough reason, nino turns to [y/n]. "dude." nino says grabbing her attention making her gaze towards at him, attentive. he smiles at her, a confident light in his eyes, "i have plan."

"oh?" the girl says, raising an eyebrow in amusement as she crosses her arms. "what do you have in mind?"

"so," the boy starts putting a hand on her shoulder, smirking. "me and you, we go to adrien's house and talk to his old man and we convince him to let him have a birthday party."

'oh this... this could go wrong in so many ways.'

[y/n] makes a pensive expression, not so sure. "i don't know, dude. adrien's dad is a bit of a..."

"i know, i know." nino quickly assures, though his tone had hope. "but with us there, there's no way he won't say no."

the [h/c] haired girl had doubts, someone like adrien's dad was going to complicated. knowing the type of parenting all too well but, the smile on her friend's face... she couldn't refuse him.

"ugh." she sighs, rolling her eyes before looking at him. "fine, i'll go with you. but later, cause i need to pick something up, first."

hearing this, nino cheers before he hugs her tight, making [y/n] laugh a bit. the two bid each other goodbye, promising to meet up later in front adrien's house.

[Y/N] LEAVES FOR their long lunch break with a specific destination in mind.

"do you really think it's a good idea to try and convince blondie's father to let him have a party?" fenrir asks, popping up from his owner's shoulder.

"in theory, it's seems like a good idea." she argues, grabbing her phone to text someone. "in practice, though..." she makes a tense face and shakes her head. "...not the best idea."

"had a feeling you would say that." fenrir retorts, feeling bad for nino, not knowing whats about to come.

meanwhile, [y/n] texts someone important, waiting for them to respond and she scoffs at their response.

stardust 💫
do you want
your muffin or not luka

teenage rockstar 🎸

stardust 💫
fine, it'll be blueberry

[y/n] rolls her eyes at her friend's dramatic accusation before putting her phone back in her pocket. her new goal of finding a bakery that sells blueberry muffins.

"we're you contacting that boy that makes music?" fenrir asks, sprawling across her shoulder.

"yeah," [y/n] says, her mouth quirking up to a smile. "and his name is luka, fenrir."

the kwami waves her off at her scolding, "same shit, different day." he says making her roll her eyes.

luka couffaine is a boy that [y/n] met at a small music store who happened to be its main employee. they bonded over their shared interest in music and became fast friends.

after quickly getting a blueberry muffin for luka, [y/n] makes her way to the music store he worked at. she enters the store, the door softly dinging.

the store was cozy and smelled of coffee, with a song playing softly in the background. rows of vinyls were set up in the middle and more set up on shelves, the use of warm light added to the ambiance.

[a visual of the store!]

"hey, rockstar, i'm here with your food!" [y/n] calls, seeing that he wasn't at the front. as she sets down the bakery bag on the counter, she hears something moving in the back.

soon, luka comes out from back room, smiling breathless upon seeing his best friend. "hey, stardust." he greets running a hand through dyed hair and approaching.

"tough day?" [y/n] asks him, raising a brow amusingly as he digs through the bakery bag, hungrily.

luka scoffs in laughter, shaking his head. "you have no idea, one of our new orders just came in." his face lights up seeing the muffins he asked for along with an ice coffee that he even didn't asked for.

"oh my god [y/n], your too kind." he exclaims, pulling out the food and drink. the girl watches amusingly as her friend practically scarfs down the poor blueberry muffin.

he moans at the flavor like it's his first meal in days. "this is the best, thank you again." luka says, though muffled.

"no problem, dude." [y/n] waves him off, dismissing it as she smiles. "you know i'm willing to get you food, besides you need it."

"and i will praise the ground you walk on for it." he replies, grinning as he sips his ice coffee, sighing as it hits the spot.

"also i need you to hook me up with something."

"hm? with what?"

[y/n] glances around, making sure nobody was listening. which wasn't really necessary as there was no one else in the store. then, she leans over the counter and luka leans in as well, knowing her little games.

"so," she whispers, giggling as she tries to get her words out.

he chuckles under his breath. "so? what is it stardust?"

the [h/c] haired girl tries to hold back a smile. "so, i was wondering, if you could hook me up with, jagged stone's new exclusive vinyl."

"okay, now hold up." luka backs up, pointing at her suspiciously while she bursts into laughter. "how the fuck do you know about that?! that hasn't been announced in stores yet."

[y/n] smiles like a cheeky devil, winking. "i have my ways."

the boy rolls his eyes at her words, knowing exactly what she really meant. she figured it all out by herself by using those detective skills of hers.

"i'm starting to believe you're just psychic." luka retorts, putting his coffee down before heading to the back to get the vinyl.

"if that were the case," [y/n] starts, fishing for her wallet in her school bag. "i would totally know about super obvious celebrity crush you have on—!"

"oi! fuck off!" instantly, luka's arm pokes out from the entrance to the back, flipping her off. [y/n] cackles at his action, knowing he meant no harm in it.

a moment later, he comes back with the wrapped vinyl admiring the cover before giving it to his friend, eyeing it still.

"whose it for anyway? cause i know you don't listen to him all that much." the dark haired boy asks, leaning on the counter.

"it's for my friend," the [h/c] haired girl replies, flipping the vinyl to see the back. "he's obsessed with this guy's music."

"oh? it is for the guy you like?"

"i don't like him, he's just my best friend."

luka winces like he's hurt placing a hand over his delicate heart, "then what am i? chopped liver?"

"you might as well be." [y/n] jokes pulling out her card to pay for the vinyl but luka stops her, waving his hand.

"it's on me. consider it as a thank you." he says, smiling and the girl looks at him confused.

"what?" she exclaims, pouting a bit. "isn't this like a breach of contract or something, i have to pay for it."

luka shakes his head, smiling at her kindness. "it's for the guy you like right? i am only supporting your endeavors."

[y/n] makes a face at him as a gentle heat wafts against her cheeks. "i don't like him like that. besides..." she trails, glancing down at the vinyl. "he probably doesn't even see me that way."

"and miss out on the chance on having a girl like you, stardust?" the boy expresses, raising his brows. "let's hope that guy isn't that stupid."

"he's not stupid. like i said," the girl takes a sharp inhale, like she's trying to convince herself. "he doesn't see me that why and neither do i."

[y/n]'s response earns her a flick to the forehead by luka before he says. "denying only makes it worse!~"

the pretty girl rolls her eyes at his teasing as she packs the vinyl in her school bag, avoiding a certain someone that was in it.

"anyways, see you later rockstar."

"see ya, stardust."

exiting the music store, [y/n] looks at her watch and makes an assumption. 'i still got time so i can get to nino and have lunch with sebastian.'

she picks up her pace to meet nino at adrien's house, taking a quickest route that she remembers.

"why are you denying it?" fenrir asks her, popping by her shoulder once again.

[y/n] makes a face at his question turning corner on the street, not looking at her kwami. "denying what? you gotta be bit more specific."

the wolf kwami sighs at his owner, the girl has made a name for herself in all academic fields, is gotham's top model and is on the rise to be france's and has solved crimes faster than anyone else.

yet, he wonders how can she possibly not
see the signs. maybe that's just how love is?

"your feelings." he continues, matter of factly. "why do you keep insisting that you don't feel something for the blondie?"

the hold [y/n]'s has on backpack strap tightens a bit as she doesn't say anything. she sighs and looks ahead, "cause my feelings don't matter. not when someone else likes him."

"you mean the clumsy bakery girl?"

"yes, the clumsy bakery girl, fenrir."

a confused expression appears on his face. "why would that matter? she's never going to confess to him."

"that doesn't matter fenrir. marinette is my friend and if she likes adrien..." she takes a deep breath, crossing the road. "then how i feel is pointless."

the kwami takes a peek at her now seeing the saddened and conflicted look on her face. "i don't even know how i feel about him, but it should die soon enough."

fenrir frowns at her words, he knows how loyal [y/n] can be  to those she considers friends. though it can a good quality in some situations. other times it can only cause heartache.

"CAUSE AT THE END OF THE
DAY, IM JUST A FRIEND."

⨳ 𓏲˖ 🐞 ˖ ࣪ 🐾 ָ࣪ 𓏲⋆.

ARRIVING QUICKLY AT adrien's residences, nino was there waiting for her by the front.

upon seeing her, his expression brightens as she approaches him. "you made it and here i thought i was gonna do this alone."

"i never go back on my promises, dude." [y/n] states smiling as they both fist bump each other.

then, both of them look up to the estate where adrien lives, at a glance it felt intimidating. but nonetheless, it was their friend's home.

'his house pales in comparison to the manor now that i look at it.' the girl crosses her arms, commenting to herself.

after ringing the doorbell, natalie lets the two in, already recognizing [y/n] as she is a frequent visitor. guiding them inside the mansion, she looks at the two, "he'll be here momentarily."

as they stand inside, nino can't help but be amazed how it looks on the inside. [y/n] was indifferent to it as she's been here before and she's seen better.

'i never realized but...' the girl takes a look around, her eyes half lidded, analyzing. 'the decor, all of it is really dull. like there's this absence of life.'

"ADRIEN'S NOT HOME YET."

[y/n]'s thoughts were interrupted by a deep toned voice, the two friends look up and see none other than the fashion designer reclusive himself and adrien's father, gabriel agreste.

one could tell from a single glance that this man is not to be messed with. the intimidating aura he had was enough to make heads bow in his presence.

he was the complete opposite of his caring son, who radiated sunlight wherever he walked. it was puzzling how they could even be related.

nino had trouble looking him in the eyes while [y/n] didn't, she's faced with men more terrifying than him. her confidence did waver, not once.

"uh, actually, we came to see you dude." nino says, letting his casual lingo slip pass his lips.

[y/n] elbowed his ribs harshly and he quickly corrected himself. "i-i mean, sir!"

gabriel raises a brow at the boy, seemingly very confused. "me?"

"yeah, that's right." nino nods, his mood turning a bit brighter. "look, i know you don't want adrien to have a party but, it's his birthday dude—" cue [y/n] elbowing his ribs again to correct himself.

"—i mean, sir." then his hands turns in pleading actions, showing that he was serious about this. "please, it's all he wants."

"no." gabriel firmly says raising his hand, "and that's final."

his eyes can not help but gaze over to [y/n] who hasn't said a thing since she's arrived. gabriel won't admit it, but the girl'a presences unnerved him.

whenever they've made eye contact before and even now, it felt like she was analyzing his appearance, his actions and his soul.

as if she was judging him.

thinking that he was waiting for her to speak, [y/n] puts her own two cents in. and just then, someone enters the residence, shocked to find familiars faces.

"while i understand your concern sir, adrien has done what you've asked of him." her voice holding confidence and firmness, showing she won't back down easily. "he's done well in all of his classes, gone to his photoshoots, fencing, chinese and even piano."

before she continues her rant, she jumps a bit when she feels a hand on her shoulder and looks to see it was adrien.

"[y/n]? nino? you're here?"

the two friends turn to look at him with comforting smiles before nino speaks, "anything for my best friend."

"same here, sunshine." [y/n] agrees, nodding along. her eyes glance back at his father, noting of the slight glare on his face.

'what the..?'

adrien couldn't be happier that they were here to support him. he ultimately thought he didn't deserve their kindness but time and time again they reassured him.

"show some awesomeness dud- i mean sir!" nino says quickly fixing his mistake before [y/n] can hit him in the ribs again.

the pretty girl sighs, stepping forward a bit. "i know you can be a bit strict sir, but please," she pleads, a hand over her heart. "please, can you lenient for his birthday."

"please." nino adds, hoping and praying to convince him.

adrien looked into his father's eyes, also pleading as well but soon gives up when there's no answer. his hand tightened by his side, gazing downwards sadly, 'it's going to be the same as it always been.'

"forget it you guys, it's fine." he mumbles, his friends turning to him and their hearts break.

and [y/n] could see the tears welling up in his eyes and she wanted nothing more than to comfort him.

"listen young man," gabriel starts, his voice stern. "i decide what's best for my son. in fact, i've just decided you're bad influence and you're not welcome in my house ever again."

"LEAVE NOW!"

this sets off [y/n], raising a brow. 'what the fuck? nothing about his behavior would have ticked him off like that.' her [e/c] eyes narrow at him. 'something isn't right, is he just doing this so adrien won't ask again?'

"father!" adrien begs, immediately defending his friend. "he was just trying to do something nice for me."

[e/c] eyes dart between the father and son, [y/n] had to make a decision now. 'i want to poke the bear. see how he reacts...'

"it maybe rude to ask this sir," the [h/c] haired girl steps in, making gabriel look at her, puzzled. "but why are you so hell bent on letting your son not enjoy his life?"

"are you judging me on how i parent my child?" he asks her, his voice sharp.

adrien felt his life force slip away in that moment, 'what is she doing?!' he thought that this was it. this would be the last time he would ever see his friends.

[y/n] shakes her head, "when did i ever mention that?" she points out making the man flinch. "you said it yourself, you decide what's best for you son. but all your doing is making his life miserable."

she crosses her arms as her eyes become half-lidded and judgmental directly at gabriel. "you wouldn't call being miserable the best, now would you, mr. agreste?"

everyone in room looked at her wide-eyed while she just stands there with no intention of backing down. while gabriel was rendered speechless.

'this child...'

but then [y/n] shrugs casually, "just a food for thought, sir." and with that, she turns to leave on her accord and nino follows her, knowing he isn't welcomed anymore.

gabriel kept his eyes on [y/n] who felt his stare and she peeks over shoulder. her once warm and dazzling [e/c] eyes were empty, full of nothing but judgment and resentment.

acting if she was above him.

nino opens the door as they step out of the mansion, adrien following after them. "[y/n]! nino! wait!"

the two friends turn to look at the blonde boy, his expression distraught and helpless. "my father," he starts, down casting his gaze and sighing. "he's pretty stubborn..."

seeing it, [y/n] felt a bit regretful, not knowing if she just added fuel to an already burning fire. nino on the other hand was angry and frustrated, but nonetheless felt remorse for his friend.

"it's not fair to you adrien." nino states, looking him with furrowed brows. "he may be saying he's doing what's best for you but this is just insane!"

with that, the dark haired boy storms off, leaving other two by the steps. though it left an uneasiness in the [h/c] haired girl's heart to just let him go.

[y/n] turns her gaze to adrien who looked like he one step closer to bursting into tears. she purses her lips into a thin line before reaching something in her bag.

her movement catches adrien's attention and his green eyes widened when something is handed to him. he blinks look between her and the item.

"happy birthday again, sunshine." [y/n] says a bit bashfully rubbing the back of her neck, averting her eyes. "i know nothing is going the way you want it but..."

she smiles gently at him pouring everything she had into it, hoping to convey the feeling she had to him.

"just know no matter what, you have... us, 'kay?"

her heavenly smile gets his heart skipping a beat, only she knew what words to say to him to make him feel better instantly.

"thank you, angel. really." adrien mumbles only mustering to say that much as he takes the gift.

[y/n] nods, smiling gently as she takes her leave. she waves goodby to him and adrien returns the gesture.

turning her face away from him, [y/n] frowns at her own actions today. "i hope, i did the right thing today." but in hearing herself, she shakes her head.

then, she lightly smacks her face, "no," she mutters under her breath, "that bastard deserves to be called out."

"DESPERATE TO HELP his best friend, but feeling so powerless." hums the villain hawk moth.

sensing the presence of negative emotions, the window to his lair opening and the moths fluttering.

he smiles devilishly as if just knew the exact cause. "how frustrating. it won't be long before frustration turns to anger!"

hawk moth's gloved hand opens up, an akuma landing on it before he covers it with his hand. infusing it with his dark power.

"FLY AWAY, MY LITTLE AKUMA,
AND EVILIZE HIM!"

ARRIVING BACK HOME to have lunch, [y/n] walks inside feeling the stress leave her shoulders.

"sebastian, i'm home!" she calls, strolling into the main area, fenrir not far behind.

the girl quickly notices that she doesn't sense her butler's presence, raising a brow she looks around. her [e/c] eyes catch sight of him outside in the balcony.

"what is he doing?" she mumbles, laughing a bit and walks over.

fenrir hums, a bit interested himself. "maybe he's building a garden?"

"who knows." [y/n] shrugs and opens the door to the balcony revealing what the butler had been doing in his spare time.

and fenrir was right, sebastian was building a garden.

the [h/c] haired can't help but laugh breathlessly as she was clearly impressed, "oh, wow! this is amazing!"

fresh greenery surround the barriers of the balcony and so we're some potted plants and others were bustling with vibrant flowers of all kinds. the air smelled a light fragrance that was addicting.

[just a visual of what it
could look like!]

[y/n] walks over to the the side, under a a small shelter we're table and chairs. tea and sweets already set out for no one in particular.

she bends down, smelling the aroma and sighs softly. 'god that is a relaxing.'

"ah! young master, welcome home."

the title makes [y/n] look up, seeing sebastian approach her with a smile. he was not in usual suit he wears but in gardening clothes.

"you've been busy sebastian." she teases, looking him up and down. "had no idea you had a thing for gardening."

the dark haired man smiles shyly, almost like he's embarrassed. "ah well." he says, feeling himself blush. "it's a hobby i'm quite passionate about."

"poison ivy would be jealous." the [h/c] haired girl jokes, taking another look around, arms crossed. "no seriously, she would love to try this out."

"i would rather not be associated with an s-class villain, young master." sebastian deadpans and sweats while [y/n] just laughs.

but in the presence of her laughter as fenrir giggles with her, the butler can't help but look at them fondly. then, he dusts off his hands, smiling brightly

"now then," he says, hands on his hips. "what would like for lunch today?"

[y/n] looks at him happily but her face drops when a giant bubble comes floating towards him. she yells at him to move but it was already too late.

"SEBASTIAN!"

[y/n] screams, straining her throat as tears prick her eyes and her heart dropping to her stomach.

the [h/c] haired girl sees him encased inside the bubble struggling to break out. she chases after him as he begins to float away from her.

"sebastian!" she calls to him again hoping to reach him before he's gone.

"young master!" he yells, watching her struggle to get to him.

once he was out of her reach [y/n] had the instinct to just jump after but she stops herself and was dangerously leaning against the railing. subjected to watch her beloved caretaker float away from her.

then, finally realizing what's really happening [y/n] gasps, seeing thousands of people up in the air all trapped in bubbles.

"another akuma attack, damn that hawk moth!" fenrir growls before looking towards his owner. "kid we got to do something!"

"i know! i know!" [y/n] retorts, clearly frustrated as she quickly begins to dry her eyes of the tears. "fuck!"

seeing her trying compose herself quickly makes fenrir frown a little, as he knows he can't do anything to help her at the moment .

'damnit!' she sighs and takes a deep breath, hoping to slow her rapid beating heart. 'now isn't the time to think of the past.'

deciding it was topic for another time, she analyzes the remaining bubbles that floated in the air. it acted as a t.v of some sort, showing the face of who was behind all of this chaos.

"hey, hey, hey! today's your lucky day, little dudes! the adults are taking the day off!"

"wait!" [y/n]'s breath hitches, her eyes widening realizing something. "that's nino!!"

"you mean the kid wanted to give the blondie a party?!" fenrir asks, tilting his head at her.

"you seriously can't remember names, can you?" the pretty girl deadpans at her kwami, her eyebrow twitching.

the small wolf chuckles nervously, rubbing the back of his head as he was exposed of his ultimate weakness.

"so make the most of it! no chores, no homework, no more nagging! just, fun, fun, fun, fun! this is the bubbler's gift to you!"

"damnit!" [y/n]'s curses, gritting her teeth. "i didn't think he would be so broken up about it!"

"should would go about this the usual way? or?" fenrir asks, knowing his owner might want take a different approach as it concerns one of her friends.

silently, the [h/c] haired girl tries to formulate a plan. facing the bubbler head on might put some risks as she doesn't know his main objective.

what she needs is intel.

"this is gonna suck ass, but..." [y/n] sighs, rubbing her eyes tiredly before facing her kwami. "let's not transform until we know what he's after." she gestures with her hands as the two start walking back inside. "when get enough info we can then formulate a plan."

"i like your thinking kid." fenrir grins and his own tail wagging with excitement. but his face falls realizing something. "but wait." he asks, "how we're gonna know where he's gonna be?"

suddenly, [y/n]'s phone buzzes loudly in her bag making her rush over to it. she checks and see it's a message from alya.

the blogger 🐞
*attaches picture*
the blogger 🐞
girl! party at adrien's house!!
we're gonna turnt it up!

clicking on the picture she sent, [y/n] can see that the whole class was at adrien's house. with none other than the bubbler in the background.

"well..." she smirks, widely and prideful as she looks at her kwami who bore the same look at his owner.

"LOOKS LIKE WE KNOW, NOW."

⨳ 𓏲˖ 🐞 ˖ ࣪ 🐾 ָ࣪ 𓏲⋆.

HEARING MUISC FROM the distance, [y/n] arrives back at adrien's house, the gates wide open for anyone and anybody to enter or leave.

"sheesh, they have no sense of self preservation." the girl cringes, peeking in and seeing everyone from class, dancing in the courtyard.

[e/c] eyes analyze the situation, based on body language and facial expressions. it would seem like the class was forced into this.

'guess he really wanted
that party for adrien...'

but one person was genuinely enjoy the party and it was the birthday boy himself. [y/n]'s expression becomes a pitiful one, to think the bit of freedom he'll have was when they're under an akuma attack.

then, out of no where, marinette runs past her not even knowing her existence. [y/n] assumed she would dance with the others but it surprises her when she heads straight to the snack table.

putting cookies in her purse?

'that is totally not weird or suspicious.' she comments, raising an unamused brow. but the pretty girl can't deny it, it was curious.

'okay, i know it's not the time to test theories.' she says to herself as she casually enters through the gates. her eyes zeroed in on marinette. 'but it wouldn't hurt to check.'

"yo! mari!" [y/n] greets from behind her, making her jump and close her purse. standing on her toes and wraps her arms around neck, keeping her close.

marinette looks to meet the pretty eyes of her beloved and kind classmate. she sweats and heart beats loudly against her chest, thinking she almost got caught.

"h-hey, [n/n]!" she replies, nervously and feeling a heat creep up her cheeks. "glad to see your safe."

"me too!" the pretty girl says, genuinely before laying her chin on her friend's shoulder. her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "soooo," she drags, smiling cheekily. "did you end up giving your present to dear old adrien~"

marinette feels her face heat up, immensely almost resembling a ripe tomato. she stumbles over her words, trying to explain what happened.

while she does this, [y/n] sneakily drags her hand down by the blue haired girl's side and opens up her small purse without her knowing.

she nods along to her friends words, to mimic as if she's listening. she felt guilty as all hell but her suspicions could not be contain. it's what she gets for being raised in a family of detectives and vigilantes.

while her fingers were inside her purse, she feels the cookies she put in there but felt something else twitch against her delicate fingers.

'oh..?' she hums, her curiosity satisfied before grabbing a cookie herself.

quickly closing back her purse, [y/n] spins around to face marinette with a smile, "you know, it is your chance to go sign the gift right now!" she suggests biting into the cookie in her hand.

marinette was momentarily shocked by the appearance of the cookie but ignores it. "you think so?" she questions, rubbing the back of her neck.

the [h/c] haired girl nods, still smiling brightly as if she didn't just pickpocket her friend. though she is feeling bad about it, it was in the name of investigation after all.

then, alya approaches the two girls, happy to see them. they all share a hug, relieved to know that their safe. and just a moment later, alya drags marinette away so she can sign her gift.

[y/n] wishes them luck, waving goodbye. once they were out of sight, her expression turns neutral. her eyes look back at her hand, the same one she pickpocketed the cookie with.

"kid genius detective strikes again."

"oh shut up, fenrir."

as her kwami goes back into hiding again, her [e/c] eyes narrow. she glances up to see the blue haired girl's figure disappear into the mansion before looking down at hand again.

'it almost felt like an antenna, peculiar.'

'no,' she catches herself and shakes her head, ridding the thought. 'it could have been nothing and i don't have concrete evidence. as of right now, it's only speculation...'

the [h/c] haired girl looks up, seeing her classmate dance to the music. 'besides,' her eyes turn half lidded and empty when they land on the bubbler.

'MY OBJECTIVE LIES ELSEWHERE.'

⨳ 𓏲˖ 🐞 ˖ ࣪ 🐾 ָ࣪ 𓏲⋆.

AS THE KIDS danced, more like they were forced to, the music suddenly cuts off making them and the bubbler gasp in confusion.

"sorry to burst your bubble," a voice comes from the rooftop. all the kids look up and see none other than silver wolf, standing there casually and cooly

she smirks, showing off her fangs. "but party's over, bubbler."

a sense of relief washes over the class, seeing that's one of paris' heroes was here to save them from the villain. adrien on the other hand look a bit remorseful.

"why you gotta be like that, huh?" the bubbler asks the vigilante. "i thought you were the cooler one out of the team!"

hearing this, she deadpans and sweatdrop. 'well, those two would beg to differ.' remembering all the times the two heroes would annoy her by their constant complaining when they were forced to do double patrols.

but now wasn't the time for that.

"listen man, i'm all for a good party." silver wolf admits, shrugging, raising her hands in defense. "but,"

her tone dropping sends a shiver down the bubbler's spine and when he meets her sapphire-blue eyes, he would rather sink himself into ground than look at her.

pupils were straight silts and she bared her sharp teeth at him. giving the impression she was an angry and untamed animal.

"you decided to take someone that you shouldn't have." she growls making the villain step away in fear. "so, i'm gonna have to get a little violent. hope you don't mind."

it was harsh to admit, but silver wolf could care less that he has these kids captured. the bubbler's biggest mistake was taking away her beloved butler from her.

putting on a brave face, the bubbler reaches for his bubble wand strapped to his back. "you will not bust up on my party!!" he yells at the vigilante, throwing red bubbles at her.

grabbing her staff and extending it, she blocks the two before jumps towards him. the teenagers scream hysterically as they run away for cover.

not even giving the chance to attack, silver wolf spins her staff blocking his bubble wand and then hitting him in the side. sending him flying and crashing into his dj set.

"what the hell man, not cool..." the bubbler groans holding is throbbing side, before lifting himself up from the ground.

the vigilante lands in the middle of the courtyard, her position still ready to fight. "i said i was gonna get violent. i don't play like the other two do."

"so," silver wolf continues, spinning her staff expertly before pointing it at the bubbler. he looks on in fear while she smiles devilishly, her expression resembling that of an animal waiting to eat it's prey.

"LET'S PLAY DIRTY, SHALL WE?"

⨳ 𓏲˖ 🐞 ˖ ࣪ 🐾 ָ࣪ 𓏲⋆.

THE BUBBLER DIDN'T have time to react before silver wolf was in front of him, punching him in the gut, making him gasp for air.

then, she grabs him by the arm and flips him over her shoulder, smacking him right on the ground causing him to choke.

not even giving him time to breath (literally) the vigilante grabs the collar of his silly little costume and pulls his face close to her's.

he groans, feeling the after effects of her attacks, the bubbler reaches for his bubble wand and in response, silver wolf punches his face.

"what the hell! was that necessary?!" he whines, glaring at her, gritting his teeth.

she shrugs before quirking up a wicked smile. "nah, i just felt like hitting you."

"are we even needed?"

the voice of ladybug grabs the vigilante's attention, she sees the two heroes jump down to the courtyard. she smiles and waves at them. "hey wonderbug! nice of you for you and kitty cat to join!"

ladybug sweats at her happy demeanor considering she also practically beat the bubbler to the pulp. meanwhile, chat noir seems to look at her in awe, loving to see this ass-kicking side of the girl he's infatuated with.

he holds back a love-sick smile as his cheeks blush bright red. 'she's so awesome...'

"but seriously," silver wolf dismisses them with a wave, "i had it cove—"

the heroes yelp when the vigilante suddenly gets hit in the face knocking her back and land on her butt. the culprit being the bubbler himself.

"that's payback! you mutt!" he groans with a knowing smile as he gets up slowly from the ground.

the two heroes glare at the villain before ladybug helps silver wolf from the ground, "thanks wonderbug." she mumbles, patting her shoulder.

making sure she's fine, the vigilante steps up in front of the two. she rolls her shoulders and head, sapphire eyes piercing through the bubbler's.

"team," she calls and the tone of her voice made the heroes flinch and stand at the ready.

silver wolf glances at them, her smile peaking over her shoulder and her tail wagging in excitedly. "let's get to work."

the two can't help but smile widely at her command, feeling a thrill in their veins.

"RIGHT!"

angry at this, the bubbler grabs his bubble wand, swinging it towards them to create a hoard of bubbles.

the trio counterattack his attempt with their weapons, hitting them away. after that onslaught of bubbles, the team stands ready to attack.

bubbler can't help but chuckle, laughing at their idiotic behavior before snapping his fingers. all the red bubbles that they evaded turn green and started to circle around them like a tornado.

it quickly sticks to their bodies causing them to yelp in confusion, trying to shake it off. until the trio is trapped inside one large bubble, practically indestructible.

"well," silver wolf deadpans with a sweat, slumping against the bubble. "that was short lived."

"give me your miraculouses before you run out of air!" bubbler demands holding his hand out to them.

"dream on bubbler!" ladybug refuses, glaring at him.

the villain groans, rolling his eyes. "totally party poopers! what will take to convince you to give up?"

"you need someone convincing enough to make a good argument on why we should give up." the vigilante retorts, making the other two giggle as she kicks back with a cocky smile.

"ugh," the bubbler groans at her words. "always trying to ruin my plans, just like adults."

"kids need adults!" ladybug refutes which only angers the villain even more.

"false!" he counters as he spread his arms out. "kids need freedom, fun. let loose and live it up."

the bubbler rolls his eyes leaning on his wand, casually. this catches the eyes of silver wolf, narrowing. 'so that's where it is. seems easy enough.'

her eyes glance up seeing and hearing ladybug arguing with the villain. one side saying they need adults and the other saying, they don't need them.

"there's not really a right way to parent a kid." the vigilante mumbles, her voice catching chat noir's attention who looked at her curiously.

"you think so?" he says, just as quietly knowing she'll hear him.

silver wolf's sapphire-blue eyes glance at the cat hero who seemed a bit... distraught over something. his demeanor reminded her of adrien, of all people, which was odd.

to answer his question, the [h/c] haired vigilante nods. "as long you support your child and give them care beyond what's necessary, then i think there's all there is to it."

though her answer resembled that of advice, chat noir still felt unsatisfied by it.

"adults keep children safe and protected!" ladybug tried to reason with the bubbler. "they care for their kids, they love them!"

chat noir shakes his head slightly. "most adults do, anyhow." before he quickly changes back to his heroic persona. "you must bring the adults back!"

'i'm just here to get sebastian back...' silver wolf deadpans with sweat, knowing her answer was not for the people.

the bubbler shakes his head. "nope. never!" laying his wand on his shoulder he looks at the trio with a smirk. "know what? since you care about these adults so much? why don't you go float with them for a while!"

he rushes toward them makes the two heroes shriek in fear while the vigilante grabs them and holds their heads close to her chest, protectively. then, the bubbler hits the bubble they were and sent them flying high into the sky.

the teens who were watching all gasp, any relief they had in their bodies vanished knowing the heroes that they were counting on were gone.

while hawk moth was furious, seeing it all go down with his connection with the bubbler. "what do you think you're doing, bubbler? you're supposed to take their miraculouses!"

⨳ 𓏲˖ 🐞 ˖ ࣪ 🐾 ָ࣪ 𓏲⋆.

MEANWHILE, HIGH UP in the sky, the trio try to find a way out of the bubble before it's too late.

silver wolf uses her claws to try and pop it but it seemed like it was no use. while chat noir tried to kick his way out, but also didn't work.

"wait!" ladybug exclaims with a smile, turning to the cat hero. "use your cataclysm!"

"could you have said that 500ft ago?" chat noir asks her sarcastically, making the vigilante snicker under her breath.

"but," silver wolf interjects, making the two look at her. "we can't stay stuck in this bubble together forever."

hearing this, the cat's expression turns flirty towards the wolf's making her roll her eyes, "keep dreaming street cat."

before anything else, silver wolf wraps her arms around their waists so they won't stray from her when they fall.

"CATACLYSM!"

chat noir yells, his hand swirling with destructive energy before laying his hand against the bubble. instantly, the bubble pops, causing them to yelp and let gravity do the work.

the two heroes cling onto the vigilante, a slight fear overtaking their bodies as they look and see how far high up they were.

"should we see if you land on you
feet this time, kitty cat!?"

"no thanks, sil! i'm good!"

looking for a way so they can all land safely, silver wolf's blue eyes catch the infamous eiffel tower and she smiles, knowing what to do.

"chat, throw your stick and wonderbug, you know the rest!" the vigilante orders the two and they nod.

as told, chat noir throws his staff with loud grunt and it embeds itself on the side of the tower. seeing the chance, ladybug grabs her yo-yo with her free hand before throwing it to wrap around the stick.

with this, it catches all of three of them before swinging forward causing them to yell hysterically. with the momentum, they are thrown into the air again, but this time at a reasonable height.

the miraculous trio were able to catch their landing and skid to a stop on the road. they all take a breather, not excpected such an adrenaline rush.

"good thing cats aren't afraid of heights." chat noir jokingly adds, smiling breathlessly. the girls roll her eyes with ladybug tossing his staff back to her partner and catching it with ease.

"anyways," silver wolf express, catching their attention. "the akuma is in his bubble wand. it was obvious this time around."

"yes!" ladybug cheers, smiling. "i was right then!" she bounces on the ball of her feet excitedly.

chat noir slumps forward and his ears drooping. "damnit, i wanted to figure it out this time."

the vigilante smiles at the two, enamored by their demeanor and finding absolutely adorable. but the atmosphere changes when chat noir ring beeps, alarmingly.

the hero looks at ring, seeing a paw finger disappear and he frown before looking at the girls. "we'd better hurry, then." he states before taking off and two quickly following after him.

BACK AT THE agreste estate, the bubbler was trying to get the party back going if it were for the teens that were hiding from him.

"where is everyone?!" he asks, turning to see them on the steps of mansion. "get out here and party!"

"SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE."

the bubbler lets out a confused noise in hearing the familiar voice of ladybug. he turns around to see the trio standing above them heroically.

excited to see them again to save the day, the teenagers let out a chant of their heroes names. that and even the sight of them made the villain growl.

"it's seems like no one wants to party with you anymore, bubbler." silver wolf taunts, grinning at him.

furious, the bubbler turns to the teenagers in anger. "what wrong with you guys?!" he yells, the sound of his voice making them all go quiet. "why you gotta be such haters?"

immediately grabbing his bubble wand, he traps the class into green bubbles. causing the trio to gasp and yell at him to stop. they watched as the kids begin to float upwards into the sky to join the rest of the adults who were trapped there.

"outer space is the next stop for your precious peeps!" the bubbler threatens, turning to look up at the three, smirking. "and they're never coming back!"

then, he rushes off, running away. the trio immediately follow after him and chase him down all over the city before they all end back at the eiffel tower.

the villainess throws bubbles at them but the three dodge them as they climb up the tower, leaving explosion in their wake.

they land inside the tower, dodging again when the bubbler keeps attacking them. silver wolf takes action by throwing one of her escrima sticks towards a pillar and ricochets of it before hitting the bubbler in the head.

"ow! what the hell!?"

"ooh, nice one sil." chat noir awes, holding his hand out for a low high five.

"just one of my many talents." silver wolf replies smugly summoning back her stick to her hand as she returns high five with the other.

then, chat noir ring beeps again and sees that the last part of the paw symbol is what's left. showing that he only has a certain amount of time before he changes back.

"i'm gonna switch back soon!" he announces to the girls in a hurried manner. "we better wrap this up!"

summoning her lucky charm, ladybug holds her hand and lets the item fall into her hands. this time it was a... wrench?

"your plumbing skills gonna help us out?" chat noir suggests, raising an eyebrow while ladybug just shrugs in reply.

"out the ones you've pulled out so far," silver wolf starts looking between the item and the hero. "this has got to be the only one you can use as a weapon."

not dealing with their idle chitchat, the bubbler begins attack them again. chat noir and silver wolf taunt him giving ladybug some time to form a plan.

using her lucky vision, ladybug sees what she needs to do and runs over to the air vent nearby. she places the wrench on the large bolt and pulled.

she grunts trying to get to come loose but to no avail. gritting her teeth, ladybug whips her head to one of her trusted partners.

"silver wolf, can you help me out with this?!" she yells, grabbing her attention.

getting the situation immediately, the vigilante jumps down from the high beams and rushes over to her. "at the same time, alright?" she says and ladybug replies nodding as the both of them put their hands on the large wrench.

the girls take a glance at each other before counting to three and begin pulling and pushing the wrench. then, the bolt came loose causing large blasts of air coming out the tube making it flair around.

"kitty cat!" silver wolf shouts, throwing the tube towards him. "cover for us!"

chat noir jumps down from the beams, catching the tube and sticking his landing. he looks towards them with a confident nod, "don't worry girls! just do your thing!"

using the tube to deflect the bubbles the villain was shooting at them. silver wolf was able to catch him by surprise by hitting his side with her leg giving the opening ladybug needed.

she grabs his bubble wand with her yo-yo and yanks it back towards her. with her bare hands and knee, she breaks the wand reveling the akuma.

"no more evil-doing for you little akuma!" ladybug says with a teasing smile. "time to de-evilize!"

the hero swings her yo-yo and captures the akuma and purifies it before releasing back into the world as a pretty white moth.

"miraculous ladybug!" she yells, throwing the wrench in the air to activate her powers.

the item disappears into a burst of ladybugs and spreads out all over the city, return everything to normal as if nothing even happened.

"pound it!" the miraculous trio say in unison, smiles on their faces as they pound their fists together.

suddenly, silver wolf wraps ladybug by the shoulders and ruffles her hair affectionately. "good work wonderbug!" she laughs, praising the young hero for today.

ladybug can't help feel her heart flutter at words knowing she made her proud today. while chat noir pouts and his cat ears droop, wanting some praise as well.

suddenly, his collar bell is flicked by the vigilante making it ding and he perks up. his emerald-green eyes catch her sapphire-blue ones, holding a spark of playfulness.

"don't think i forgot about you either, kitty cat!" she teases as she ruffles his soft blonde hair next, making the trio laugh.

after the two heroes leave, silver wolf goes over to nino, who seemed to be in his own thoughts. wondering what had happened and how he ended up at the eiffel tower.

"hey," silver wolf calls softly to him, bending on knees. "doing alright there buddy?"

nino doesn't say at the moment anything, his eyes not meeting her's. "i didn't..." he starts, his gaze forward as dhe frowns. "i didn't hurt anyone, right?"

"no." she assures, putting a hand his shoulder. "you didn't hurt anyone. not by a long shot."

hearing this, nino let's out a sigh of relief. as if the world was weighing on shoulders was gone. he looks towards the vigilante with a strained smile who only returned the gesture.

"don't looks so down." she teases him, pulling his hat down to cover his face. "if you wanna talk, then talk to me. but if you don't, that's fine too."

peaking under his red hat, his eyes meets silver wolf's. he seesthe empathetic kindness in them and because of it, he feels reassured.

"YOU CAN'T RUN forever, ladybug." hawk moth threatens. his voice echoing against the walls of his lair as he feels the connection he had with the bubbler, lost.

"and when i catch you, i will crush you!" his eyes stare into the moth designed window seeing it begin to close.

"i will destroy all three of you!" he yells, arms spreading outwards.

bursting from the balcony doors, her eyes scan around the common area before landing on his figure, cooking in the kitchen.

in that second, he turns around with a warm smile on his face, greeting her. "welcome back, young master—!"

his words fail him when the [h/c] haired teenager hugs him out of nowhere, silently. she holds onto him like he was about to disappear from this earth at any moment.

getting over his shock, sebastian's looks down at her, his expression softening. then, he wraps his own arms around her figure, in doing this, a relief washes over the girl.

"i apologize for worrying you, young master."

"...just don't disappear like that again."

THE NEXT DAY arrived quicker than expected but, all was fine as the miraculous trio saved everyone the day before.

marinette, [y/n] and alya all walked to class together, only to find cholè absolutely fuming that her present didn't get delivered to adrien cause of yesterday's incident

"serves her right." [y/n] mentions with a sarcastic smile, laughing a bit. "she totally forgot it was his birthday" pointing at herself before making gesturing towards the sky. "and karma did it's thing."

other two girls who stood at either side of her burst into contagious giggles. alya was the first to wrap an around her shoulder, pulling her in. "oh you so definitely get it." she jokes, still laughing.

"hey girls!" a bright voice calls from behind them. they turn to see it was adrien, exiting his limousine, sporting a brand new blue scarf.

knowing it immediately, [y/n] nudges marinette with a smile and leans close, "oh? would you look at that." she teases, giggling along with alya.

the blue haired girl softly shakes the [h/c] haired girl's arm out of excitement. "he's wearing my scarf! he's wearing my scarf!"

"yo, nice scarf, adrien." alya adds, gaining his attention along with nino. "off the chain."

[y/n] nods in agreement, smiling as she leans her arms on alya's shoulder. "the color suits you, sunshine."

"yeah!" the blonde boy grins, happy as ever. "can you believe my dad got this for me? it's so awesome. he's given me the same lame pen three years in a row."

"wow?" nino expresses, clearly surprised, shrugging. "i guess anyone can change." he smiles at his friend, happy for him. "adults can be cool when you least expect it."

'ain't no fucking way...' [y/n] thinks, watch the two boys chat as she blinks in shock. 'all that for what?!'

marinette was surprised and bit disappointed, knowing she did sign the gift for him. but it seems like there was mix up entirely.

alya leans close to her, hurriedly. "you gotta tell him you're the one who knitted the scarf."
