~15~ Following the Trail

Boom

You shoot awake to the sounds of heavy footsteps outside of your apartment. Another akumatized victim. Did hawkmoth ever get any sleep?

"Ugh, Dusuu feathers up." You sat on the edge of the bed and got fully awoken by your transformation. "Great let's go get this over with." You run out from your balcony and flutter down to the street.

You run to the source of the stomps to find Cat Noir already at the scene. "It's about time you got here."

"Sorry, I was getting my beauty sleep," You said while running into action. "What's the story with his guy?" You asked while trying to identify where his akumatized item rested.

"Not sure this time! it'll be a bit more difficult to find out where the item is this time." Cat helped, fighting off the lumbering figures attacks. "Try the hat first."

You jumped up grabbing the mini top hat and crushing it under your foot, nothing. You shook your head then jumped up to his chest to grab his brooch. You threw it on the ground, and it shattered. Out flew the butterfly.

You jumped forward and de-evilized the butterfly. "Bye bye little butterfly... head home chat it's  late."

"What about you?" He asked watching you run off towards the butterfly.

"I have a plan, I'll be fine, I'm a big girl." You followed the butterfly over the skylines of Paris. Near the Eiffel tower you watched the butterfly flutter into the window of a big house. Your eyes lingered on the house before heading home.

"Dusuu, feathers down." Once again you were a normal girl.

"What was the reason for that detour?" The small creature questioned you as you flopped back onto your bed.

"Just a theory, maybe those butterflies go back to where they came from, and maybe they came from Hawkmoth. I'm gonna need to follow a few more butterflies back to that home before I'm certain that they always go back there."

"And what are you going to do if that's true? Are you just going to break in and beat up whoever lives there?" She sits on you as you settle deeper into bed.

"Not important, I still have a few hours until class, and I'm tired, goodnight." You slipped into the darkness of sleep. 

"(Y/N)? (Y/N)! wake up you overslept!" You awake to Dusuu screaming in your ear and lightly slapping your cheek. You launched out of bed, got ready, and ran straight to school. When you get to school class has already started, and though you try to quietly slip in Ms. Bustier calls you out.

"(Y/N), you're late, come up here and get your assignment." You do as she says and after class Adrien walks over to you.

"How come you were late? You look really tired." After that he yawns.

"You don't seem so lively yourself. That attack last night was so loud, it kept me up until Cat Noir and Peacock took them down." You stretch and smile at him, he smiles back.

"Yeah, It's awful isn't it?" You need in agreement as he walks off, you follow close behind him.

"I hope that Hawkmoth gets discovered and defeated soon. I really want him to get what he deserves," You punch your own hand, making Adrien laugh a bit.

"Stay safe okay? I don't want you getting hurt in battle." He pets your head, you calm a bit at his touch, Adrien has a very calming aura to him. "Now let's get you some lunch, I'm assuming you forgot to pack one in your rush to get to school?"

"Yeah," you admit blushing in embarrassment. The both of you walk down the street to a cafe. You point out what you want and he goes to pay for it. "Wait, you don't have to pay for me." You softly grab his hand, you think you see some color go to his cheeks, but it's gone quick.

"Don't worry about it, my father won't notice anything gone from his account." He hands the card over to the person behind the register. As you both walk out of the cafe and back to school you strike up conversation.

"So, I assume your dad is rich? Or something like that?" You watch his face as you munch on the croissant sandwich he had bought you.

"Yeah, he's a famous fashion designer, he's got lot's of money, enough to hire people to take care of me instead of being a dad." He puts his hands in his pockets as the two of you walk into the school. "It's not so bad though, I mean it's easier to hide stuff from him this way."

"And what exactly are you hiding from your dad Mr. Adrien Agreste?" You mockingly accuse. 

"Nothing you need to worry about." he teased bumping into you as the two of you returned to the classroom and sat while you waited for class start up again.

Eventually class did start, and the two of you had to stop talking. You sat and daydreamed, starting with thinking of how close you were getting with Adrien, and eventually your mind wandered back to that house.

The house was a mystery to you, but you really did hope that was where the butterflies were coming from. It was your only lead, and if you were wrong, you had nowhere else to go. As you sat off in dream land, a figure slammed the door open.

"Ms. Bustier, you've failed me for the last time, now it's time for you to give your last F!"
