They Set Us Up

Chances Lead to New Beginnings

"Are you girls taking about me~?"

Chloé heard a familiar voice, from out of view of the camera. "You know. Your not the only good looking person we know, Adrikins." Chloé quickly responded when she recognized owner of the voice.

"Not surprised he automatically thought of himself. All those years of modeling really went to your head. Huh kitten?" Chloé saw Mari look to the side, moving her phone so Adrien could be in view.

"Meouch~, you both wound me~" The boy theatrically put a hand to his chest.

"I'm seeing a bit too much of your other self there, Agrest." The blonde said to her long time friend. Earning a giggle from the petite girl.

Adrien pouted before quickly sitting next to Mari, to get a better view of the blonde in the tiny screen.

"Wel, Bourgeois. If you weren't talking about your long time childhood friend. Then may I know who was fortunate to have caught our queen's approval?"

Chloé hesitated, before she could answer the bluenette spoke first. 

"Our little bee here, is growing up so fast. She met someone in Gotham." Mari said as she playfully wiped nonexisting tears from her eyes.

"Wha~..?" The young model asked, as a Chat Noir like smile appeared on his face. "And when did you plan on introduc-..."

"I-it's not like that.!" A blushing Chloé quickly answered. 

"Yet." The young designer said playfully.

"Marinette~!"

"Okay, okay. I, still don't know what's going on. Would any of you care to clarify." Adrien quickly calmed the girls, (mostly because he want in on the juicy gossip.)

Chloé retold the curios model her story on how she met Jon, on how he gave her his phone number.

"Wow, that's.... wow. So are you going to meet him??" Adrien asked practically bouncing on his seat. A childlike smile on his face.

"Yeah, Did you talk with him?" Mari asked.

"...I.... did ask if he was ... f-free to meet for coffee." 

"And?"  "When are you going to meet?" Mari and Adrien both asked expectingly, almost at the edge of their seats.

".... he s-said yes.....and we're meeting today.... at 12." Chloé said softly, timidly fidgeting in her seat.

The demeanor of the blonde didn't go unoticed by her friends. Glancing at each other the young Agrest spoke.

"Chlo, it's going to ge fine." He smiled kindly at his childhood friend. "I know you might feel scared to meet new people... and with what happened in the past we don't blame you. But, try and give yourself this chance."

"Meeting up with him, doesn't mean you're obligated to be forced into anything. Whether it's a friendship or anything else. If he's as kind as you said he'll understand that." Mari said soothingly.

"I feel....nervous."

"And that's fine, no one should judge you for that." 

"O.. kay." The blonde let out a breath, trying to release some of the tension in her body.

"We're here for you, Chlo." 

"And we'll be there the second you call us." The bluenette said reassuringly.

"Thanks guys, I'm glad I have you." Chloé said with a small smile. 

"We're glad to have you too Queenie." 

After their talk, Chloé asked their opinion for her outfit of the day. With an input on their preferences, they settled on one they all were happy with.

Chloé had decided to arrive at the cafe early, thinking that it would give her some time to calm her nerves. It was about ten minutes before their agreed time, walking into the cafe. She took a breath as she sat at a table close to the window. Remembering the words her friends had said to her earlier. 

'It'll be fine. It'll be fine.' She repeated the words like a mantra.

She felt Pollen pat her leg as a gesture to try and help soothe her nerves.

'I still have time, I still hav-' Before she finished her thought, she heard the bell of the front door chime.

And there he was, the boy with black fluffy hair, kind sky blue eyes almost hidden by his glasses and the kind bright smile that can almost rival both Adrien and Marinette. Before she could stand or call out to him, he turned and met her gaze. 

He seemed surprised to see her there before him at first, but a smiled quickly made his way to his lips, as he walked to the table where she was sitting.

"H-hi." He nervously said as he sat on the chair opposite of the young blonde. 

"Hello, Jon. I ... *ahem t-thank you for meeting with me today." Chloé politely greeted. A small smile on her face.
