Adrien's POV:
   One week later, I woke up to the sound of a doctor saying, "Psst. It is time for you to leave now. You are free to go."

       I felt relief at the words. Then, frowned when I recalled I was to stay with Nino.  How about my things?

      As the frustration built up inside me, I clenched my fist.  

      "Adrien, Nino texted me earlier."

     "oh, what did he say?"

     I just had to know.

     "I will read it to you."  I heard her say.

      I listened closely as she read it out loud.

     Text message sent to Marinette's cell phone...

      Marinette, tell Adrien not to worry a small moving van brought his things over here earlier this morning.  It is all set for his arrival. -Nino

    I breathed a sigh of relief when she finished. At least, I knew my belongings were already at Nino's place.

     Then, it dawned on me I had no idea where Nino lived. I frowned.  This was a huge problem or so I thought.

       I  listened as a creek sound was heard followed by a noisy racket.

      I was about to ask Marinette what it was about when the door slung wide open.

        "Hey, man!"

        "Hi, Nino."

       "You ready?"

       "Yes, I am as ready as I can be Nino."

      "Good then let's go."

        I did not recall if I ate breakfast.

        "I am hungry."

        I heard a chuckling sound come from Nino's direction.

       "No, sweat, we can stop to get some food on the way there."

          I nodded my head in agreement.

          I  had not heard Marinette say much since Nino's arrival other than "Hi, Nino."

          I wondered why she was so quiet.  Perhaps, this whole thing made her nervous too.

         
          Marinette's POV:
  
            I sighed as Nino arrived.

           I admitted to myself it was for the best.

         Why then was I sad?

         Was it because I worried Adrien would not adjust well to life at Nino's?

          I  felt Adrien gently rub my shoulder.

           I relaxed from the tension.

         "Thanks, Adrien."

          "It is alright, Marinette. I am sure Nino will be a great host."

            "I know, but I will miss you."

         Nino's POV:

        "Do not be so glum, dudette."

         "I am not taking him hostage or anything."

          I smiled.

          "You can come to visit him anytime you want too."

             I watched Adrien rub her shoulder and saw her relax.

              I wished I could do more for both my friends.

              I  was glad Alya agreed to fix supper that evening.

            I glanced at my watch and saw it was 9 am.  Well, at least breakfast from a restaurant is better than a bowl of cereal.

               "Think about it woman, you can come to see him any time you wish."
   

                  I watched as her eyes glow as if she was understanding it for the first time.

          Tikki's  POV:       

           I might have stayed inside Marinette's purse but that does not mean I did not notice the nerves of all involved.

          I was downright furious, no livid with Mr. Agreste for abandoning his son when he needed him the most and for making arrangements for him to stay with someone without discussing it with him. Sure he left a note, but it was not the same.

          I watched Nino exit the room to give Adrien and Marinette a moment.

        Whoa, I thought, even Nino has a soft side.

           Plagg's  POV:   

        I devoured some cheese crumbs.    

        I sulked when I realized it was the last for a long time.

       I smiled again when Nino arrived.

       I  overheard Nino leave the room.

      I  tried not to gag as Adrienette remained in the room alone.

     Who knew what might happen next?

        Adrien's POV:            

       I  grinned.

      "It  will be great."

       I loved this girl more than she could ever know.

       "I love you."

      I waited for her to speak up.

      "I love you, too." I heard her reply.

       I hugged her.

       I  felt her hug me in return.

       Marinette's  POV:    

          I felt myself almost pass out after the hug.

        Funny how such a small thing should make me react the way I do.

       I shook my head.

       "I love you, too," I responded to Adrien's remark that he loved me.

         I let go of him and went home as Adrien left the hospital with Nino to guide him.

          I wished Adrien had a seeing-eye dog.  Maybe then things would not be so bad. Then, again who was I kidding?   He already had a puppy.
