He began to visit Nella every time his suit was torn. Mostly as an excuse. Ladybug offered a few times, but he told her that he knew how important their identities needed to be secret. Mostly an excuse just so Nella could fix it.

Most times he came over, he had scratches. Her brother, Sasha (Alex in Russian), would disinfect it and wrap it. He mumbled most of the time while working on him in Russian. His sister would tell Adrien that he gave her brother good practice for treating wounds and bandaging.

He noted that their French was getting a bit better, their accent still very distinct though. Whenever he was by, he helped Nella with whatever grammar or word that gave her trouble. A lot of the time, she asked how she could improve her pronunciation. He never told her exactly how, but admitted to admire her accent whenever she spoke. She mumbled something in Russian with a snicker. It bothered him that she couldn't find the words to translate what she mumbled.

As Chat Noir had gotten better and better in fighting the Akuma with Ladybug, Andrey's visits became less frequent. He started patrolling the streets of Paris with the red clad superhero. They were fun, if not filled with childish games most of the time. They became better coordinated and closer in their friendship.

He was getting more used to her calling him 'Chat', or even 'kitty cat'.

He wanted a pet name for her.

He then ran to the only other person who he thought could help.

He was sure to keep his jacket up and hat down as he walked to her apartment entrance door. Everyone in the city could recognize his face. It was surprising that Nella hadn't noticed. In the thought of her, said girl walked out of the building.

She was clad in loose, knee high dress. She had a tight white sweater underneath to cover her arms and helped pop the soft brown and orange plaid, and a brown belt that fastened on her waist. She tied her hair back with a black clip and wore strapped sandals. She looked like someone from the late twentieth century. She smiled brightly at him. "Why are you wearing a jacket and a scarf during this late in spring?"

"I-I get cold easily..." He mumbled an excuse.

She huffed at him. She folded down his jacket flaps. He protested of course. "It is improper to wear a coat like this. A fool wears it like that." She also took his scarf and wrapped it around herself, smiling as it seemed to complete her outfit. "You will warm up fine with your jacket alone."

"Give those back," he wined in a hissy voice. Plagg quickly shot out of his jacket and snuggled into the scarf around the young girl. One less on his side. "Nelliya..." He moaned.

She gave a concerned look. He hardly used her actual name. "Yes?" She asked innocently. They began walking slowly.

Adrien wasn't sure if he truly wished to share with her at that point. It was Plagg that continued for him. "My lousy charge wanted to figure out a pet name for his partner, so he came by to ask for help." The boy blushed deeply.

The brunette simply giggled. "That is all?" He nodded nervously. She tossed her head back, with a laugh. "You can be very funny." He gave an unpleasantly miffed look. It took her a while to calm down and collect herself. It was difficult to understand she was a year older than him sometimes. She could act so childish and carefree. "It cannot be too hard for you, can it?"

He sighed. He thought the same, but wasn't too sure of himself. He wanted the nickname to be perfect. He didn't know her true name which made it all the more difficult. "It seems more difficult when it comes to... Her..." Nella gasped with a bright cheeks. It caused Adrien to be a bit concerned. "W-what is it?"
