Sorry about the wait... >.> Your comments are what I look forward to the most about my updates, honestly. 🌚😋

It was lunch time and he was looking at his list and at this new hint. Well, if he went to Alya for one hint, this one is sure to lead to someone else right? Who in the school is talented at drawing?

Nathanael.

Of course! Wait, but... He looks back at the list and searches for the one he's looking for, until he find the exact one he's looking for.

I sit in the back of one of them next to a red-head because the teacher set the assigned seats.

Nathanael has red hair. The only one at school who has red hair and can draw and oh my gods he sits next to her in his class. He can just look to Nathanael's seat-mate and he can find her-- today. He has chemistry today.

He would finally find out who Ladybug is...

"Dude, you look psyched," he heard Nino speak from beside him, making him look at his best friend. His grin brightened, nodding.

"I think I'm going to find her today Nino," his voice was so hushed, still not being able to believe that this may be the day that he finds her.

"Really?" Nino raised an eyebrow, leaning his chin on the palm of his hand, setting his wrap down. "Are you sure?"

"She's in my next class, I know she sits next to Nathanael in that class, because of assigned seats!" He breathed, "It's so soon..."

Nino hummed, taking his phone out and sending a message to Alya, Adrien to busy staring into the distance and sighing dreamily to even notice.

Nino: He's figured out it's Nathanael. But he totally forgot what today is for our Physics class.

There was an instant reply.

Alya: Good, everything is going as planned.

Adrien wiped his hands nervously on his pants as he entered his classroom, his eyes instantly going to the back of the class to search for the red-head--

But everyone was standing at the front of the class, including Nathanael, who was talking idly with Max.

Adrien deflated and walked into the room, how could he have forgotten?

Group projects start today, and their teacher is placing them in groups. He groaned and walked up to the group, for once, upset about being in Physics because his plan was ruined. Class flew by, he was put in a group with Max, Rose, and Mylene, all very nice and smart people, but all their ideas clashed. They had to make ground somewhere and agree on something.

As he was packing his things, he noticed Nathanael sitting at his normal seat, drawing. He walked over, standing in front of the red-head, determined.

"Hey, Nathanael?" The artist's arm paused, and he looked up, and smiled at Adrien.

"Yes?"

"Who sits next to you in class?"

There was silence, and Nathanael gave him a knowing smile, and picked up with back, reaching in to grab something, "You know," he started, "I've liked her for a long time, I'd fallen head over heels for her." Adrien felt his stomach drop, how could he not think that anyone else could've liked Ladybug as well? It never even came to mind! "Longer than you have, but she never felt the same, and I knew. So even if she can't be with me," he pulled out a letter, and held it out to the blonde, "I hope that you can make her happy, just how I wanted to. Treat her well, she's a good person."

Adrien flushed, and took the letter from Nathanael, and smiled, confident. "I'll cherish her... Thank you."

Nathanael returned the smile, though as soon as Adrien turned away, it became pained, almost regretful. Once the blond was gone, he let his tears fall, "Am I horrible for still wishing that it was me instead?"
