Despite her best friend being sick, Alya was very pleased with the situation. Judging from the sniffling lump curled up in the middle of the bed, Alya assumed that Marinette must have returned to the Agreste mansion after they’d left. Marinette had barely been in the room when they visited during lunch so the only logical explanation was that she had gone to see him again. It had been three days since then, but just as Adrien was well enough to return to school, Marinette ended up falling ill.

Nino frowned when he read the text message that appeared on his phone just as he pulled it out to text Adrien. He didn’t think anything of it when he reached the school first. While Adrien had been getting better at making it to school on time, there were still occasions where the blonde didn’t turn up, probably due to a photoshoot. Nino just assumed this was one of those times. But clearly, it wasn’t.

Chloé's hands shook furiously as she stared down at the magazine spread of Fashion Weekly. The pages of the magazine crinkled under the pressure of her grip and she marched across the courtyard towards the blonde model that had stood her up on her birthday.

Nathalie knew Adrien was fond of his raven-haired friend. She was a nice girl, someone who could keep him from sulking in the pit of loneliness that his father often left him in. She recalled Adrien's words to her the day before, asking if she remembered Marinette.

Whenever Marinette needed some inspiration for her designs, she would often go to the Trocadero. It was her favorite place to go for ideas as it was always bustling with people. It was a big tourist spot and it was interesting to see what people from all over the world wore. That specific day, however, she was just looking for some peace and to her luck, the early morning and less than perfect weather kept people away.

Now I regret deleting this from AO3 and FFN. Anywho, I'm finally going back through and trying to finish this cursed fic. I went in… Continue reading Rain Showers & Shower Showers – 1

A few tidbits in this ficlet actually came from an original work that I decided to abandon. I noticed that the characters (RIP Valerie and Tyler) behaved in a very LadyNoir-ish manner with the hand-kissing and nose-booping so I took out whatever parts that I liked and made this short little fic.
