Chapter 13: Moral Support

Nino adjusted the headphones over his ears, and hit play again, listening to the track he had so far. He was finally making some progress - or at least was starting to get what he had in his head. The bass line still still didn’t quite land the way he wanted it to, but what he had now was light years beyond what he had before, which was nothing. Now, it was mostly just a matter of getting the music in his head into the sound editor.

Which was a lot more challenging these days for some reason. A group of kwamis were throwing bouncy balls on the other side of the wall between them and him. He couldn’t see what they were playing, but judging by the cheers and groans, they were trying to one up one another in some kind of stunt.

Then Ziggy and Roaar floated ominously over his laptop with Fluff trailing behind.

Nino yanked the headphones from his head. “Guys… what are you doing?”

The other two looked at Fluff, who whirled around in the air at being addressed. “We’re flying through your room.”

“But what are you going to do?” Nino asked.

Fluff frowned and cocked his head. “Who can say? There’s so many different possibilities.”

  27. Staying up late because thoughts of the other are endlessly chasing away their sleep, which only leads to them calling the other and deep conversations that go on into the night.

Chapter 12: Without

 “Yes! Perfecto, Adrien! Turn to your left. Chin up, shoulders relaxed. You’re the sweetheart that lives next door!”

 The camera clicked rapidly again and again as Adrien moved through Vincent’s directions. There was something comforting about the task. It took all of his attention, so he couldn’t think about anything else, but also required no effort since he had long since mastered putting on a show.

 “Yes! Yes! Yes! Now, look this way, over the shoulder. Drop the smile. You are as mysterious as the moon. Stoic, someone to be relied upon when all falls apart.”

 The clicks never stopped. Adrien gave Vincent several angles, careful to pause at each pose for a second or two before shifting to the next.

 “You are on fire today, beau gosse!”

 Adrien knew better than to break his pose to accept the compliment though part of him still always wanted to.

 “Turn those green emeralds to the sky, right hand on your shoulder. Perfecto. Now, slide those fingers through those golden locks like it is silk.”

 There was way too much product in his hair for it to feel remotely soft, but Adrien obliged. Experience told him it would look soft in the final image.

 “Alright! Next set!” Vincent called, gesturing Adrien to the adjacent backgrounds with a different color palette. “We’re going for raw desire. Think of the love of your life!”

 The lump in his throat was immediate. Adrien tried to swallow it, but the burn behind his eyes was only a second behind.

 “No no no! That is way too sad. I want longing! I want devotion!”

Chapter 11: Echoes

Adrien stepped outside onto the sidewalk, the tinkle of the bell from the patisserie echoing behind him. He sucked in a breath of cool afternoon air, but it didn’t calm him as much as he had hoped.

He hadn’t thought that seeing her would be so hard.

Nino had told him over and over again during the week that he didn’t have to come.

But he couldn’t not attend Marinette’s going away party. She didn’t know what had changed between her and Adrien.

He was confident that one day he’d be able to be in the same room with her and it would be the same as it always had been. They would be able to laugh and gossip while they made cookies together. But right now, he couldn’t even look at her without seeing Ladybug, without the visceral awareness of everything she had forgotten - everything she had chosen to forget.

And then in the middle of the party she had pulled him aside and confessed.

He choked back a sob.

In response to the WIP Game! I don't have much for this one so far, but I've been wanting to write something for this pairing for a while and this idea popped into my had at some point in the last month or so. Essentially an aged up, post HM, and they were roommates fic where Adrien and Nino are those friends who act like a couple, joke about being a couple, and confuse people into thinking they're already dating...which Nino is totally fine with until he realizes he might feel something more, and suddenly can't tell if Adrien's being sincere or if it's all just part of the act. I have a very small amount written that I'll share here, but this is written in present tense which I have a complicated relationship with, so it'll almost certainly change. (Plus this was basically...me info-dumping to myself so I could get a feel for things and calling it prose.)

For Nino, falling in love with his best friend sort of starts as a thought experiment.  It's probably not how most people fall in love—with an almost clinical sort of detachment at first—but it's not something he's unfamiliar with. It's sort of how things happened with Alya, because he never thought about dating her until he did think about dating her, and then...one day he just knew. One day loving her felt right. The memory of loving her still feels right, just not as immediate as it once was. They had a good thing going, and they still talk all the the time. They just...wanted different things. They changed. Nino's pretty sure he and Adrien want the same things, but with him...falling takes a bit longer. (Or at least, getting over the denial takes a bit longer.) Probably because they're adults now, and there are a hundred different things to overthink and misunderstand and agonize over. Or maybe it's because he and Adrien have been friends for years, and Nino will never forgive himself if he somehow screws that up. It might also have a lot to do with the fact that he and Adrien live together, and the last thing Nino wants is for Adrien to feel uncomfortable in his own home (again). Whatever the reason, Nino can pinpoint the moment when it starts. It's nothing monumental, just a lazy Friday night where they spend too long sifting through movies on Netflix. Nothing seems to hold their interest, but eventually they land on some anime film (Nino knows it'll make Adrien smile). And then Adrien gets up to grab some popcorn, playfully shoving Nino off his shoulder so he can stand up, and somewhere amidst his laughter, Nino just feels warm. Then he thinks about that. He watches Adrien walk into the kitchen, the same way he has a hundred times before. But this time Nino sees things differently

My initial drafts are always in present tense, but I can rarely stand to leave it that way!! (There was one exception forever ago for a very specific reason). So I very much understand.

I love this concept!! It fits them so well! And whatever you turn this into, I definitely enjoy the vibes!! Hope this one sees the light of day at some point. Know that you have at least one reader very excited to read it! (No pressure though!)

Thank you for your willingness to share!

Chapter 10: Passing the Torch

Adrien wasn’t crying anymore. And as far as Nino could tell, he hadn’t for the whole day. But he was so despondent, Nino almost would have preferred him crying.

Like this, Adrien felt so far away, and Nino had no idea how to reach him.

Maybe he couldn’t reach him. When his older brother had disappeared without a trace, Nino had retreated into a shell as well. He had stayed there for almost a year until Adrien had shown up as a new student in collège.

Until Adrien had needed him.

Nino hovered around anyway. He dragged Adrien out for lunch. Once he had tried a movie, but that had proven to be a particularly bad idea as Adrien had clearly not been able to stay engaged in it.

They were watching a comedy. And not a romantic one. Nino wasn’t a complete idiot. But it hadn’t been enough to distract Adrien from his thoughts if the tears slipping down his cheeks were anything to go by.

At a loss, Nino had called Chloé in for reinforcements. And Adrien had managed to smile and even laugh a few times as the three of them chatted over afternoon snacks in Adrien’s kitchen bar. Nino knew better than to bring alcohol into the situation.

When Adrien left to use the bathroom, Chloé whirled to him.

“What happened?” she demanded, her blue eyes boring holes into him.

“His heart was broken,” Nino told her.

“Gabriel?” she asked.

Nino shook his head. “Mystery girl.”

Chloé actually growled. “I’ve always hated her.”

Nino would have agreed not even a few weeks ago. But now he had context. The situation was far worse than Chloé knew.

Nino thunked his head onto his desk in frustration. He needed to finish this remix, but he could barely even listen to what he had already done before his mind wandered and obsessed over when the next akuma alert would go off, or how Adrien was fairing at his morning photo shoot, and the music went in one ear and out the other without Nino really hearing it.

Which was a problem.

He sighed, cursing his past self who had stopped halfway through the baseline. He didn’t remember what his vision for the line had been. Or maybe he hadn’t had one. He had stopped in the middle of a measure. But he needed to get this done. This was the second to last song in this set, and while he could probably fake his way through an event with just the eight tracks that he had, he couldn’t release the remixed pieces for download without completing the album. And his music often served as the best advertisements for his events.

Without thinking, he swiped open his phone. He really shouldn’t have left it within reach, but he was already pulling up his text thread with Adrien.

Nino:

[10:46] You never played my remix on the piano! You still owe me.

Adrien:

[10:46] That bass line still giving you grief?

Nino:

[10:46] You have no idea. Please save me.

Adrien:

[10:46] You’re assuming that I don’t need to be saved first to come save you.

Nino:

[10:47] Just tell me where you are, and I will be there in five.

Nino was only half joking. He would have taken any excuse to do anything else right now, but Adrien didn’t respond again, which wasn’t a surprise. He had probably noticed the text during a wardrobe change.

Nino sighed, and turned back to the orange jagged sound wave that mocked him from his screen. He made himself press play, determined to actually listen to what he had, trying to identify the last note that seemed to fit.

Thirty seconds in he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

“You should have seen her, Tsurugi! She would have swept you off your feet,” Chloé exclaimed, even as she filled her plate generously with the snacks and hor d’oeuvres Adrien had ordered and had spread out across the counter besides Marinette’s batch of fancy cookies. Marinette always went all out for their birthdays.  

Kagami rolled her eyes. “I don’t know why you keep trying to convince me that I like girls,” Kagami muttered.

“It’s wishful thinking,” Nino quipped, sliding between the two girls to reach the cookies. Marinette had seriously outdone herself. He was really glad it was Kagami’s birthday. The cookies themselves were molded into hollow tubes filled with cream and dusted with powdered sugar. He grinned at Chloé’s scowling face even as he bit into the cream-filled confection.

“Shut up, Lahiffe!” she barked, punching him in the shoulder. 

Nino’s grin only widened. “Ooh! Did I just hit too close to home?” 

“No! You’re way off!” she growled. “You’re just obnoxious!”

Nino grinned. He always enjoyed getting under Chloé’s skin. She made it too easy, especially lately. 

She whirled back to Kagami. “I’m not actually trying to convince you of anything. I’m just talking about my feelings. I actually already have a date this weekend,” and her blue eyes were sparkling.

“How long have you been dying to say that?” Nino asked. 

“Like the whole last hour!” she exclaimed, completely unabashed, sliding over past the food onto one of the barstools. “I’m so excited!”

Nino’s smile softened. “I hope it goes well,” he said. 

Her eyes narrowed suspiciously.

“No, seriously. I do!” he said. He wasn’t going to tease her about things that were important to her. 

“And who is the lucky lady?” Kagami asked. 

Chloé actually blushed. “Cassandra,” she said softly, glancing down at her nails. 

Wow. Chloé really liked this girl. Good for her. 

Kagami frowned. “The new psychologist we hired? I’m not certain it is wise to mix business and personal relationships.” 

Nino shook his head. “Isn’t that what you and Chloé do all the time?” he challenged, feeling the need to defend Chloé if she felt something real.

Kagami turned to him. “Chloé and I are friends. It’s not the same thing as romance.”

Nino shrugged. “Maybe. Maybe not. But look at her, Gami!” he said, gesturing to Chloé’s blushing face. “She’s so smitten. You have to let her try!”

Chloé eyed him suspiciously. “Why are you being so nice to me? Do you want something?”

Nino laughed. “Nope! Just saw a glimpse of a human heart for a second and wanted to encourage it,” he teased. It had been more than a year since Chloé had been more than superficially interested in someone.

He was rewarded with a scowl.

“Next time, I guess I won’t bother,” he added, knowing that he definitely would always bother. He had a weird friendship with Chloé, but he cared about her even if they had nothing in common other than Adrien.

Chapter 7: 

Chat Noir was forever grateful that Ladybug had agreed to meet him with such last minute notice. He had left her five voicemails and she finally called him back, and he had felt like he was interrupting something, but she insisted that it was fine and that she would meet him at their usual spot. 

She had listened to him patiently as he explained what he wanted to do, and all the tension flowed out of his form as her only reaction was a soft patient smile.

“Honestly Chaton, when you called me panicked the other day about him being late, I was shocked that you didn’t already know who he was.”

He frowned. “You were? But Ladybug, I’ve always-“

“I know,” she reassured. “I just may have been in a similar situation recently and we… well, we didn’t last a week.”

“Wh-what?” 

“I started dating someone, my best friend in my civilian life. And things got serious really fast, and I… I couldn’t keep it from her.” 

“You’re saying you told someone your identity,” he concluded.

Chapter 6: 

Nino had tried to call Chat Noir the very next morning, but of course Chat wasn’t transformed at the bizarre hour and he didn’t pick up. He left a brief message that didn’t say anything other than he was hoping they could talk.

That evening Wayzz informed him he had a text message in response.

Can you meet me at this location on Saturday at our usual time?

The text included a map with coordinates. It was on the edge of the city.

Nino’s gut writhed unpleasantly. Saturday? Chat wanted to wait until Saturday? That was three days away! They hadn’t gone that long without seeing each other since they started dating.

Had he messed up worse than he thought?

But Chat hadn’t seemed upset.

He hadn’t seemed overly affectionate either.

But to be fair, he had very little idea of what Chat’s texting personality was like. All their interactions had been in person.

And almost daily.

Something was clearly up.

Nino texted back.

Of course. See you then. Miss you. <3

He did receive a heart in response a few hours later, which made him feel a little better. For like an hour. And then he was back to obsessing.

How was he going to get through the next three days?

Chapter 5

Chat Noir sat at his and Carapace’s usual spot. It was where they met whenever they had a joint patrol, but since they started dating it was also where they tended to go whenever they didn’t have any plans, and they’d figure out where to go from here. Because of that, it had become one of Chat Noir’s favorite rooftops.

But tonight, Chat was restless. His legs swung back and forth and he didn’t know what to do with his arms.

Carapace was late.

Carapace was never late. Chat couldn’t think of a single instance when Carapace had arrived after Chat himself had. Not since they had started dating.

His mind spiraled into a thousand different directions. None of them good.

He worried Carapace was mad at him. He ran through every recent conversation. It hadn’t seemed like Carapace was upset with him about anything. And his boyfriend was pretty direct most of the time. Surely, he would have said something if he was.

What if something had happened to his boyfriend? What if he was injured or sick? What if he was in some hospital somewhere? Chat Noir didn’t know who he was! If something terrible happened, would Adrien ever know what had happened to him?

He knew how easy it was for someone to disappear without a trace.

Chapter 7: Burdens Shared

Adrien didn’t know what time he had come home after Ladybug had left for the night. When he arrived home he had stripped down to his boxers, crawled into bed, and just stared at the ceiling.

His mind remained strangely blank, but it was stirring just out of his conscious reach. He didn’t try to grab hold of any of it. He knew he didn’t want to face it. He didn’t want to think about the akuma, or the holes in his memories even after Miraculous Ladybug. He absolutely did not want to think about a daily existence without Ladybug. And he certainly didn’t want to feel any of it. 

So he didn’t. 

The ceiling was white and smooth, a blank canvas for his mind’s eye. But there was nothing to paint. Everything was numb.

And yet, sleep refused to come.

He didn’t feel anything about that either. It just was.

Like the blank ceiling above him.

Adrien stared at it unmoving for what had to have been hours. But he couldn’t bring himself to even glance at a clock so he didn’t actually know. 

And he still didn’t care.

But sleep must have claimed him eventually because the sound of keys turning in his lock startled him awake.

He rolled over to see Nino in the doorway.

And for the first time since Ladybug had zipped away, Adrien felt something. He felt warmth blooming in his chest at Nino’s unexpected presence, and he found himself smiling.

Chapter 4: 

Over the ensuing weeks, Chat Noir and Carapace went on every type of date they could. They explored the ins and outs of their city from the catacombs to every rooftop garden they could find. They found hideaways where they could just cuddle and chat like they always did. Chat Noir was so good at pulling off access to the most unlikeliest of places after hours from museums to concert halls. Nino had no idea how he pulled it off.

But it didn’t matter. What was important was that Carapace finally got to hear Chat Noir play piano even if his boyfriend complained that his claws made it impossible to play as well as he usually did. Carapace thought he was really good even with the added challenge of claws. He must’ve been amazing without.

Maybe Carapace would get to hear it someday.

Chat Noir has also managed to set up a small projector and a mini sound system in one of their hideaways that was furnished with bean bags and blankets. This setup was essential for Nino to educate his boyfriend on all things classic science fiction while Chat Noir subjected Nino to his favorite animes. And many of these evenings cuddled up together were amongst many of Nino’s favorites.

Honestly, it was all amazing - almost too good to believe. Nino only had one complaint. 

Well, two complaints.

Chapter 3: 

Nino had to modify a lot of Adrien’s ideas to make them work for two superheroes who had secret identities and who couldn’t just be in public without making a spectacle.

“You’ve known each other for awhile, right?” Adrien asked. 

“Years,” Nino said. 

“Well, there’s always classic stuff like going out to a fancy restaurant, but I think if you’ve known each other a long time, and your favorite thing to do is just talk, you could do something more intimate, like cook together.”

Nino pursed his lips in thought. He loved that idea, but when you couldn’t share identities, it’s not like he could invite Chat Noir over to his apartment. 

“That way you can talk, and you’re making something for each other at the same time, which is like a way of caring for one another.” 

Nino couldn’t help the smile that bloomed across his face at the mental picture of Chat Noir with an apron in his kitchen as they made a meal together. 

“That’s assuming you’re comfortable enough to invite him over or vice versa,” Adrien added. 

Comfort wasn’t the problem. Nino would have had Chat Noir over in a second if he thought his boyfriend would go for it. Nino nodded enthusiastically anyway.

Chapter 2

Carapace sat at his and Chat Noir’s normal rendezvous. Carapace was early, just wanting to get out after a long week. 

His being early had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Chat Noir always showed up to patrol early and his being even earlier would mean he got to spend more time with the other hero. 

Definitely not that.

His hooded head dropped into his hands. Who was he kidding? He was a lost cause and he knew it! Ever since he and Alya had broken up, he kept falling for people who weren’t available. The latest being none other than Chat fucking Noir.

Best Friends & Boyfriends - Ch 1

Chapters: 1 | 2

Summary: Adrien and Nino are best friends. Chat Noir and Carapace are dating. Chat and Carapace go on fun dates. Adrien and Nino gush to each other about their boyfriends. That’s it! That’s the fic! 

Read on Ao3

Chapter 1: 

Adrien hadn’t meant to stay up all night. He knew his make-up artists were going to kill him when they saw the dark circles under his eyes, but he couldn’t bring himself to regret it. 

Because even now, at barely six in the morning he couldn’t stop smiling. He never would have predicted all those years ago when Carapace had joined their super hero team as a temp hero that he would become one of Adrien’s closest friends.

In fact, Adrien had felt threatened when Ladybug had chosen Carapace. He had thought she was trying to replace him. And even though he had worked through all those insecurities, Chat Noir had always held himself a bit more aloof with Carapace than with many of the other temporary heroes. 

But over time, the turtle-themed hero had worn away Adrien’s defenses with his easy going and friendly nature. Carapace was also incredibly easy to work with. Adrien could now read him and make plans non verbally almost as well as he could with Ladybug. Carapace had also become his favorite patrolling partner if only because the other hero was willing to just hang out and fool around after all the patrolling was done. 

And it turned out that Carapace was so easy to talk to. And fun to talk to. Of course, they couldn’t talk about their personal lives - not directly anyway, but that never seemed to slow either of them down because they could talk about anything and everything else, from philosophy and politics to the existence of life on other planets. The previous night they had somehow started talking about dreams.

Chapter 2: Friends

Chapter 3: Akuma

Chapter 4: Fallout

Chapter 5: The Morning After

Consciousness returned to Nino slowly. It was an ache in his lower back and the stiffness in his shoulders that woke him up completely. But for once, he suspected that his aches and pains weren’t the result of a lack of sleep, but rather that he had slept so deeply in the same position for too long. Even his eyes were crusty and dry. 

A glance at the clock confirmed it was just before eight in the morning and he had slept almost eleven hours straight.

“Wayzz?” he called. “Do I have anything going on today?” 

The room remained silent. 

And a beat later, he remembered there wouldn’t be a response. 

Wayzz was gone.
