Day 4 - Kwamis

One of the perks of holding his miraculous full was Wayzz became a constant companion. He had always wanted to spend more time with Wayzz, but he was terrified of being responsible for him because Nino had no idea how to take care of a kwami. But the first few days had been awesome. Turned out that as long as Nino had some leafy greens on hand, Wayzz was a chill little dude. 

If he didn’t, the kwami turned into a literal snapping turtle. Nino had only been bitten once, but since then Nino had convinced his maman that he was going through a new health-minded phase where he wanted salads with every meal, which he probably didn’t, but he also didn’t mind. 

In any case, it was worth it. Because Wayzz was a really good listener and he always had a bit of advice to offer.

Nino was learning he had a surprising amount to share. 

“Adrien’s been really distant lately,” Nino confided.

Day 2 - Cooking

Nino clapped his hands together in satisfaction. The table was set. He still thought the rose petals were probably a bit much, but Adrien liked grand romantic gestures so even if it was cheesy as hell, he knew it would make Adrien smile. 

And Nino needed it to be over the top too because words were not his strong suit, so the setting needed to do half the talking for him. Maybe more than half. Nino was really bad at talking.

Day 1 - Music

Nino knew that Adrien could play the piano, but he had been banned from the mansion, and Adrien didn’t usually perform in public, so Nino had never had the pleasure of experiencing it even though they had been friends for more than a year. 

There was an old upright piano in the back of the drama room that was never used. Several keys were chipped, and others didn’t work at all. Nino found Adrien sitting there, alone, his fingers ghosting across the tops of the keys.

Adrien’s eyes were closed, no doubt hearing the music in his head. Nino was surprised at how badly he wanted to hear the notes implied by Adrien’s movements, but he also never wanted to make Adrien uncomfortable. Everyone else in Adrien’s life did that, and Nino always aspired to be the exception. 

Adrien started, his hands dropped down to his sides. “Hey! I didn’t realize anyone was here.” 

“I don’t mean to crash your solitude. Do you want me to go?” Nino jerked his thumb back the way he had come.
