[He had a point, of course.] Agreed. Name-calling and trying to rope other people into doing one's dirty work is just... despicable!

[That had her chuckling.] I'll make a deal with you, okay? You can watch over me, and I'll watch over you. [Even if he did get the short end of the stick on that one. Adrien had never been clumsy, as far as she knew.

So she realized that it was probably a bit silly to thank him for just being him, but she still felt the need to do so.]

Either way, it's good to know that not everyone is like that.

[She hadn't even thought twice about how familiar the gesture was until he was nuzzling at her shoulder and holding her tightly. Heat flooded her face and down over her neck, and she felt torn between wishing he would stop and wishing he wouldn't.

The decision was made for her a moment later when he relaxed his grip on her. And then she's just sighing softly at his words.]

What if I really want them to see me, Adrien? [This was okay. She hadn't really given anything away, other than the fact that there was a someone. Chances were slim that he'd work it out based on that alone.]

I was just teasing you. I can tell you're not the type to be biased, though I wouldn't mind if it was a little bit true. [Her tone was light and teasing, and she was smiling.]

That means a lot coming from you, minou.
