Lexi’s House Party || Chase and Gabrielle

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: driveway @ lexi’s house party // 29th of january.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: chase x gabrielle ( @gabriellehale ).

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒: underage drinking.

𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒: chase and gabrielle arrive at the party.

Chase and Gabrielle arrived at the party and he put his arm around her outside, "What kind of fun are we having tonight?" he asked, curious for what she was down for. He wasn't sure after Tuesday. "Because I am down for whatever" he added.

Gabrielle held his hand and gave it a squeeze. "The night is still young." She said with a smile. "Whatever? If you are down forever then we should turn around, go home and get on bed." 

"I can't, I promised people I would be here. And by people I mean the team. And by the team I mean the whole team is here and they're gonna mock me if I don't have anything to comment about the party because I stayed in for sex with my girlfriend even though that sounds really cool to me" Chase rambled on as he moved her forward towards the house, "and your girls are here, we're going to have a great time" he added. 

"Oh, I just wanted to snuggle." She said looking up at him. "But, now that you say that, We should definitely have some fun when we get home." She said nudging him. "Olivia will be drunk, Juliette has Stevie now. Shes mad at me." She said with a pout. "But Maybe I'll just find a nice corner to drink in."

"And why is she mad at you? Because she had to find out that you're friends with Chanel instead of telling her" said Chase, "and she's not going to stay mad forever" he added. Chase knew that it would blow over, Juliette knew their secret. No way Gabrielle would cut off that friendship like she had with Sadie, "Or you can hangout with me all night and we can dance like old times" Chase offered.

"I'm not sure she knows knows, she was really drunk." Gabrielle said with a frown. "I just can't have her hate me." She said giving his hand a squeeze. "Yes please. I do not want to leave your side tonight." She said with a smile.

"She doesn't hate you, it's just that one of the things that you two love about each other is over now" said Chase squeezing her hand back. "Then don't, I'm all yours. We can even makeout in the hallway or something like crazy people" he said with a little laugh.

"I mean, I can't have her hate me." Gabrielle said shaking her heead. "I can just hate Chanel again, I mean, we aren't like friend friends. We don't hang out. We just dont shit on each others lives anymore." She said with small smile. "And you are mine." 

"I don't think you need to hate Chanel" said Chase, he was so thankful that they were finally on good terms. It was so much easier for him to hangout or talk about Chanel now. "You better be" he replied with a kind smile and he kissed her temple.

Gabrielle shook her head. "Lets just get in there and have a few drinks." She said with a smile. She didn't want to think about it. Whatever happens happens. "The quicker we make appearances, the quicker we can get home."

"Sounds good to me" Chase replied, he wanted to party a little bit but if she wasn't in the mood then they could easily go home. "What kind of drink do you want tonight?" he asked as he opened the door for her and ushered her to the kitchen. He had been to Lexi's house many times before.

Gabrielle entered the house as she kept a smile on her face as they walked past people. "I'm good with anything besides beer." She said as they looked upon the options. "Maybe a mixed drink?"

"One specialty mixed drink coming up" said Chase as he grabbed blue curaçao, sprite, and malibu and poured them into two cups and handed one to Gabrielle, "It's like ocean water, it'll get you drunk quick too. I read about it on reddit" said the boy with a smile as he took a sip of the concoction. "Get me a little umbrella and a straw and I'd be anyone's bitch" he said with a laugh.

Gabrielle watched as he poured her a drink. "Yeah? You might have to deal with drunk me for a while." She said with a laugh. "Anyones bitch? Excuse you. You are mine and only mine." She said with a laugh. 

Chase smiled at her, he liked things being just them two. It felt good to have her full attention even when they were in a crowd of people, maybe they weren't so much like Jesse and Olivia. "I think I can handle it" he said with a smirk. She was pretty cute. "With an umbrella and a straw I'll be a changed man" Chase replied with a laugh as he put his arm around her, leaning up against the kitchen island as people scrambled around looking for someone to dance with. A girl passed them in tears, "Lexi's parties always bring out the best stories" he said quietly to his girl.

gabrielle let out a laugh, chase was her whole world. She wanted to pay no one else attention. "I get all kissy when I'm drunk, I think I need a kiss.....Right now!" She said with s smile. "I'll give you an umbrella straw." She said poking his nose. "Ive heard some crazy rumors already" 

Chase put his hands on her waist and popped her up onto the counter and gave her a kiss once she was at his height. Laughing as she booped him on the nose, "You officially owe me one umbrella straws" he teased her. His ears perked up when she said she had heard some crazy rumors already, "What have you heard?" the boy asked, a slick smile on his face.

Gabrielle let out a laugh as he put her on the counter. "Wait, I want another one." She said before taking a sip of her drink. "Oh I hear everything, perks of dating the gossip king myself." She added in. "I heard Julian got expelled at school togday, Also heard Caleb ran out of this party like a weeping weenie."

"Oh you'll get another one after I hear the news" Chase teased as he put his hand on her upper thigh as he stood between her legs at the counter. "Well, I did hear about the Julian thing, but points for the Caleb stuff" said the boy as he pulled her in for another kiss. "I saw some kind of twitter update about two girls kissing and then a couple fighting, good to know that was Caleb" said Chase laughing as he took a sip of his drink.

Once she shared she smiled as he gave her another kiss. "Two girls kissing? Julie and steves?" Gabrielle asked. "Yeah, also heard that he faked that tweet about that girl being interested in him to make rose jealous." She added in.

"They're not that stupid, also Stevie said Juliette wasn't drinking tonight because of ... the Tuesday incident" said Chase with a small shrug. "That's so embarrassing, that kid is ... awful. I have no idea why Rose is with him, or was with him. I don't really know about all of that" he replied.

Gabrielle nodded. "Ah yes, the tuesday incident. I'm just glad they all had fun that night. Remind me to not do that again." She said shaking her head. "My club days ended for a reason." She added in with a laugh. "I hope she moves on from him. because like... gross. I remembered when he courned me at the halloween party and asked me out." 

"Keep you at home with me? I think I can do that." Chase let out a small laugh, she changed more than the seasons while they were together. Phase after phase. "Well you'll never have to worry about that again, one he was telling everyone that your purple hair would have to go ... which is disturbing that he has so much to say. And second, everybody around here knows you're my girl now" said the boy as he moved a piece of hair out of her face. 

"Yes please. I'm an old lady now. I want wine nights in my pjs talking shit about the moms at day care." She said with a laugh. "Ew. I love my purple hair. Its badass." She said with a smile. "Loser will never get his dick wet ever again.

"You've got a lot of time between now and then, don't forget to have a little fun. Maybe just not that much fun" he said, laughing along with her. "I also love your purple hair" Chase replied. He felt like she had really come into her element with the hair change. "Oh most definitely not, no girl at this school is ever going to touch him. He's going to have to wait until college, and then he'll have a two week window until everyone hates his guts again" Chase added, laughing again.

"Well I talk shit with madden about the other moms. OOF that reminds me, you know how they were saying how Genevieve has a crush on the two twin boys. Yeah. Maddens kids. But shhh, you can't tell anyone. Another one of those famous secret children." She said with a smile as she sipped her drink. "Two weeks? I give him two hours if hes lucky. He is repullsive. I think he kinda looks like a drowned rat."

"Wait she told you about that?" said Chase, confused, "Did you ... tell her?" he asked. Worried that too many people knew at this rate. He didn't want to get thrown out of the house. "A drowned rat?" Chase repeated back to her, chuckling a little, "I'm pretty sure Montag has that down".

“It was pretty hard to deny as her kids ran to her screaming mommy .3 seconds after she said she was a nanny.” She said as she took another drink. “Oh fuck no. I’m not an idiot to many people know. And thankfully Genevieve can read a room and know not to speak.” She added in. “How can someone so pretty as Juliette share DNA with Montag” 

Chase chuckled, "Wow, that is something that we should be more careful about. You're making sure not to tell her right?" Chase asked, nervous that they would be found out the same way. "She's reading rooms? Taking after me already" said the boy with a small laugh as he took a sip of his punch. "Well, the Hastings girls are really pretty" said Chase, "Montag just got that special combo hit of traits. Like the nose, but I think he's good looking. If he's ugly then I'm ugly, and I am not ugly" Chase replied with a smirk.

Fox Run

The amazing @tides-miraculous requested Rena Rouge and Carapace for an Enemies to Lovers AU from my 2018 AU Challenge list and I have been really excited to work on it. <3

As for this drabble, Rena Rouge is a Robin Hood-type who exposes corrupt businesses and organizations in Paris. She runs an encrypted blog where she shares all of her information as Rena Rouge. Master Fu has been training Nino to take over as the Guardian of the Miraculous so he sends Carapace out to bring the Fox back into storage since it had thought to have been lost before Rena Rouge started showing up. The Butterfly Miraculous has also been lost for many years. They don’t get all the way to lovers in this one but it’s a good start anyway, haha.

“Can we not do this tonight?” Carapace groaned. “I’ve got a headache. Give me your Miraculous so I can go home.”

Rena Rouge grinned fiercely. “So if I run, you aren’t going to chase me, Shelly? I’m hurt. Wounded even.”

He rubbed at his temple. “I don’t know why I even bothered coming out. I can’t do this right now.”

“You’re always so tense. I bet you’d be a whole lot more fun if you would cut loose every once in the while,” she winked. “Here. Since you’re feeling down tonight, I’ll do most of the work. No, I won’t give you my Miraculous. No, I won’t see reason. Yes, I do look very nice tonight, thank you for noticing. Yes, I will have dinner with you Saturday night. But let’s keep the masks. It keeps the mystery of our relationship alive.”

“You’re exasperating,” he sighed.

“You like it. What’s giving you a headache? It might make you feel better to share. You better not say me though or I swear I will knock you off this roof and you’ll be one of those upside down turtles flailing his little legs in the air.”

He shrugged, moving to sit down on the roof ledge. “I’m trying to double major because I’m an idiot and it’s officially kicking my butt.”

Rena Rouge gave him an assessing look. “Let’s see. I’m going to guess Finance and Business Management. You just scream corporate type.”

“Okay, now you’re the one who is about the be thrown off the roof.”

She laughed and Carapace had to admit to himself that it was a good sound. “Not the corporate type?”

“Not even a little.”

“Just when I thought I couldn’t be any more attracted to you,” she smirked. “Alas, that’s all the time I have for tonight, Shelly. The corrupt aren’t going to expose themselves.”

“Let’s make a deal. I don’t try to foul up your plans for the night and you promise not to do anything until tomorrow.”

Rena Rouge twirled her flute. “The problem with that, my terribly handsome turtle, is that I have to work on this tonight. Don’t worry. It won’t be too bad. I’m just tackling Gabriel Agreste.” She blew him a kiss and stepped backwards of the roof.

“Son of a...” Carapace was back up and on his feet but Rena Rouge was nowhere to be seen. “Master Fu is going to kill me,” he sighed.

____________________________

“You were tricked by the fox again, I see,” Master Fu murmured, pouring tea into a small cup and handing it to Nino.

“I wasn’t tricked,” he grumbled. “But come on, it’s just me out there. Can’t I get some help?” He looked towards the box hiding the other Miraculous.

“No. Only three are left out since you brought back the peacock. I don’t want to risk any others right now."

“Then it might be a while before I catch her. Rena lives up to the fox stereotype.”

Fu sipped his tea. “Perhaps you don’t want to catch her.”

Nino frowned. “She isn’t a villain or anything, but what she’s doing is wrong. I know that.”

“Mmhmm.”

“I do! She’s funny though. Sometimes she catches me off guard.” Nino’s brow furrowed at the look Master Fu gave him. “Fine. I’ll bring her in by force next time if I have to.”

____________________________

“This is so typical. I’m attracted to her. I can admit that,” Carapace grumbled, eyes trained on the skyline for any flash of orange. “But come on, can you blame me?” He frowned. “This is the downside to being transformed. Now I just seem like a crazy person talking to myself.” He felt warmth radiate from his wrist and smiled. “Thanks, buddy.”

A flash of light caught his eye and then it was gone as quickly as it had appeared. Sirens began to wail and Carapace raced across the rooftop towards the scene.

He was almost to the source of the sirens when he heard someone calling for him. He dropped down in the dark alley to find Rena Rouge propped up behind a dumpster, a bloody gash splitting her suit along her right thigh.

“I know,” she grimaced, “I’ve looked better.”

The closer Carapace came, the more injuries he mentally catalogued. “What the hell happened to you?”

“Turns out my mark had a little more hidden than shady business practices.” She gasped when she tried to straighten and her Miraculous gave a pitiful beep. “I’m sure I’ll regret this, but I need your help. I can’t go to the hospital. Too many questions. I--”

He was already gently pulling her against him. “I have someone I can take you to.”

____________________________

“Is she familiar?” Master Fu asked, placing a cool cloth on Alya’s forehead.

Nino shook his head. “I don’t think we’ve ever met outside our masks.” He adjusted the cloth as Fu walked away and brushed Alya’s hair back. 

“She thinks you’re pretty nice to look at too,” Trixx winked from her spot curled up at Alya’s shoulder. Nino flushed and stepped back as Wayzz smiled down at Trixx from his perch on Nino’s hat.

“How long have you been with the young lady?” Fu asked, offering Trixx a berry.

The kwami took it happily. “Only a few months. She said she found my necklace in an old box of junk. She said she was going to use me to change some stuff. I think we’ve been doing a pretty good job.”

“She has caused much trouble.”

“Well, yeah,” Trixx shrugged. “That was kinda the point.”

“It ends now,” Master Fu said calmly. 

“You might want to rethink that.” Trixx reached for another berry. “We found the Butterfly tonight and hoo boy, it is not in a good place.”

____________________________

Alya sat on the straw mat, clutching the foxtail necklace. “I’m surprised I still have this.”

Carapace shrugged from his spot leaning against the cabinets. “It took some convincing on my part.”

She smiled up at him. “You’d miss me. Admit it.”

“I need your help.”

Alya shifted her position and grimaced. “Going to be real honest with you, Shelly, I might be out of commission for a while.”

“Trixx said you found the Butterfly Miraculous.”

“Well, I found who has it and wow, he was not happy I have that knowledge.”

“Is he the one who did this to you?”

She nodded. “Yeah, turns out he’s pretty spry with a sword.”

“Tell me who it is.”

“Why? Are you going to go avenge my honor?”

Carapace blinked in surprise. “I mean, I have to go get the Butterfly back.”

“But?”

“But yeah, I’m pissed someone hurt you like this.”

“Because?” she smiled sweetly.

“This isn’t an interview. Stop leading me.”

“So close,” Alya winked. “One of these days you’re going to admit that you’re into me.”

“And you would never let me forget it.”

“Ah, see, that’s practically a confession right there.”

Carapace rolled his eyes and knelt down in front of her. “What’s your name?”

“That’s dangerous information, Shelly.”

“You can trust me.”

“Fine. But you have to tell me yours.”

“That seems fair. First names only though.”

“Agreed,” she nodded. “I’m Alya.” She offered her his hand and he took it.

“Nino.”

“Ni-no. Hmm, I like it. It suits you.”

“Thanks?”

Alya smiled brightly. “You’re not used to get compliments, are you, Nino? I’m going to have to work with that.”

“I’d rather you didn’t.”

“What color are your eyes behind these goggle things?” She tapped on the side of his goggles and Carapace pulled back.

“We have more important things to talk about right now.”

“That’s a matter of opinion.”

Carapace frowned. “I need you to tell me who hurt you.”

Alya sighed and sat back. “Well, he told me to call him Hawkmoth, but he definitely has a more interesting name.”

“What’s that?”

“Gabriel Agreste.”

Carapace paled. “I think we’re going to need some help.”

Alya quirked an eyebrow. “We? You think I’m going Hero Squad just because you gave me a few Band-aids?” She shook her head. “This is above me. I thought he was just breaking a few labor laws and undercutting suppliers. I had no idea what I was getting into. I’m out.”

“And here I thought the great Rena Rouge was one of the best.”

“Ah, see, this whole hero schtick you do is cute, Shelly, but I’ve kinda got my own deal going. I’m a hero in a different way.”

“So you think I can take him by myself?”

She sighed, shoulders slumping. “Not even a little bit. But aren’t there more of these things?” She touched her necklace. “You could always get the old man to give you some to pass out.”

Carapace looked back towards the screened door and leaned in closer. “Here’s the thing. If you aren’t willing to help me, I have to take your necklace. So please help me.”

Alya chewed on her lip for a moment. “What happens after?”

“After what?”

“After we take down Hawkbutt. What then? Do I get to keep my necklace?”

“I don’t know,” Carapace admitted. “But if you really help me, I would fight for you to keep it.”

“Because you would be lonely out there without me?” she teased.

A blush creeped out from beneath his goggles and he shrugged.

She gave him an assessing look and then nodded. “Fine, Nino, let’s be partners.” 

“Why do I get the feeling that I just made a deal with the devil?”

Alya curled her tongue behind her teeth and winked.
