"Yeah I know a great café, it's just this way." Luka grabbed Adrien's hand. Luka's hand was warm, and bigger than Adrien's. The pads of his fingers were rough and calloused, presumably from the guitar playing, and Adrien felt the contrast starkly against his own smooth pianist's hands.

"We better run," Adrien shot a glance over his shoulder. The team had all about packed up, and Gorilla was now looking for the blond. It was golden hour already, with the sunlight trickling over the river Seine. "If my bodyguard catches me, I'll have to go home."

The blue haired boy looked back at his and winked, "Well we better get a move on!"
Luka's shoulders cast a little silhouette as they hurried down the street, and for a moment Adrien's breath caught in his throat. Had he really fallen for Luka so fast? It seemed eons ago that he'd been pining over Ladybug – he'd barely even thought about her the past few weeks.

The boys stopped outside a little café. Tucked away in one of the many alleyways in Paris, it looked warm and cosy despite its size, with yellow light trickling out onto the street. "I think we've lost him." Adrien panted.

Luka held the door ajar, grinning as he gestured inwards, "After you."

The pair took seats near the back of the café, in a small booth in hopes that a passing bodyguard would be unable to spot them. Initially Luka had suggested a window seat, and in most circumstances, Adrien would have agreed but they'd quickly realised that would be a little too obvious, especially with some girls in the corner taking a photo of Adrien. Presumably it would go on snapchat or Instagram, which would make it easier for the bodyguard to track them – their time was limited.

"You really saved my ass out there you know," Adrien had ordered a hot chocolate, with a marshmallow bobbing on top, "Father wanted something really new and exciting. God knows what the final product will look like, but I guess the fall was a lucky accident." Adrien tried to keep is eyes from staring at Luka's lips, soft and pink. They'd been so close to him when Luka had caught him, and Adrien wondered what they'd feel like pressed against his.

"It's like music really, the best parts often come from sheer chance" the blue haired boy took a sip of his coffee, "I guess we were both looking for ideas and inspiration."

"Yeah," Adrien smiled and pushed his fingers through his hair, fiddling with a strand absentmindedly. "Well you certainly helped us find ours. Did you find your inspiration?". Maybe Adrien could help him with it, repay him a little for his help. It was of course an added benefit to get to spend more time with Luka, especially given that the little date wasn't likely to last much longer with his bodyguard hot on his trail. Was that what this was, Adrien wondered. It had only just dawned on him that actually he'd never been on a date before, despite all the girls that had been clamouring to for as long as he could remember.

"Yeah, I think I did actually. I found a muse." The blue haired boy reached out his hand to brush Adrien's fringe a little to the side. The blond felt his cheek flush pink. Oh, come on, he thought, he was a superhero. He shouldn't be feeling weak at the knees at the touch of a boy! His gaze was caught in Luka's eyes, and for a moment he began to lean in towards the other boy.
