Love Ballads
This was previously posted on my Wattpad. It has been in the works of being rewritten. Most of it is the original storyline (wasn't published) but also changes from the shadows. It will be a long fic in the making and will be posted every Friday.
"You will be dating an upcoming model, Lila Rossi." announced Gabriel, "Is that understood, Adrien?"
"Does it have to be Lila?" asked Adrien.
'Out of all people, why did it have to be her?'
"Dating experience is necessary for your future in finding a bride to uphold the Agreste name." his father continued, "Miss Rossi is new to the public eye and will boost your standing, as you do to hers."
"Understood." sighed Adrien.
"In light of this new 'relationship', you will have three nights to appear more relatable to the public. Let me know the days and what you will be attending on said days. Miss Rossi must accompany you on one of said days." he stated.
"Yes, Father." replied Adrien, as he was dismissed.
'What do couples do? I haven't dated since I was fifteen and I'm pretty sure there's a difference.'
Adrien paced his room as he tried to figure out how to spend his new freedom.
'I have three free days, but I'm stuck with Lila one of those days.'
He didn't really want to spend time with Lila, but that was the price of his freedom. Not to mention, he had to 'date' her. Lila had always been high-maintenance and he was sure somehting like going to the movies, wasn't going to cut it for her. Not to mention, he didn't want to be in a dark room with her. He was sure she'd try something. That was another thing he had to worry about, her lies and fake tears on dates.
'I have to treat her like she's Chloe. Chloe would want five star resturants and shopping so those are out of the question to do with Lila. If I took her somewhere in public, she could create a scene.'
"What do couples do?" he asked out loud, before inspiration struck him.
'Nino!'
Adrien pulled his phone out of his pocket and immediately dialed his best friend's number.
"Adrien, Bro!" Nino answered, "What's going on? Bored at another shoot?"
"No." replied Adrien, "Not this time. I actually need some advice."
"Really? About what?" questioned Nino.
"I have three nights off to appear more 'relatable to the public' and I have no idea what to do. Of course I still have to uphold the family name and all that, but-" said Adrien.
"That's great, Dude!" cried Nino, "I'm sure I can come up with a list in an hour!"
"One catch, I have to bring Lila with me." murmured the young Agreste, "At least on one of those nights."
"Lila? As in Lila Rossi?" asked Nino.
"Yep." Adrien eye-rolled his answer, not that his best friend could tell.
"Congrats, my man! Oh, I got it! Tomorrow, most of us from the old class meet up for karaoke. Majority of us are couples, but we still let in single people, so you can spin it off to your Old Man as a couples night." said Nino, excitedly.
"That sounds great! Okay, what else?" asked Adrien, happily.
"On Wednesdays we have a Guy's Night." the DJ continued, "The girls go off and do their own thing. Sometimes they go out for drink, other times it's movies, or just lounging at someone's place. I'm sure the girls would love if Lila could join them."
"Great! Where do we meet up so I can just give him all the details?" asked the young model.
"We usually rotate places, incase the girls do the same. We usually just chill out at each other's houses, play video games, chill out, and eat junk food." Nino said.
"Okay, I might have to spin that, but I can work on that." Adrien replied, "Got anything else?"
"Fridays, we have Game Night and I seem to remember you almost being a UMS3 champ. Basically it's the same as Guy's Night, but the girls can go too. It's been our way of letting out frustrations from school or work." laughed Nino, " Close to finals, it turns into study sessions, instead."
"Okay, I'll call you back in a bit to let you know how it goes and maybe to get more ideas." spoke Adrien.
"You got it, Bro." said Nino, before hanging up.
Adrien knocked on his Father's office, hoping things go his way for once.
"Enter." he heard his father call.
Adrien entered the room and waited for his father's approval to speak.
"I take it you have some ideas for these days." announced Gabriel from behind his desk.
"Yes, Father." said Adrien, "I called some of my friends for ideas for couples and many of them are old colleagues of both myself and Miss Rossi. On Saturdays, they have couples night karaoke. They also spend their Wednesdays split between gentlemen and the ladies. Friday's are game nights."
"A couple's night out will be relatable and will put your singing skills to use. This gentleman's night will also make you more relatable to your gender, just make sure you do not do anything foolish." spoke Gabriel.
"Of course, Father." calmly said Adrien.
"This 'game night', tell me more." the elder Agreste stated.
"It will be held on Fridays evenings. It is open to everyone. I was hoping to talk with you about relocating it to here, if you allow it?" answered the young model.
"Explain." said Gabriel.
"I was hoping to move this evening to my room. I am well aware I have photoshoots early morning on Saturdays. If I held it here, I could immediatley fall asleep after everyone has left. We can have everyone leave by midnight if you prefer." explained Adrien, "My room is also more equipped to handle a large amount of people and I have a vast amount of systems that can be used. I am told they use this night to destress and once finals approach, they use the night for studying together and help each other with their weakest subjects."
He could feel his father's heavy gaze on him, weighing this idea.
"I will approve this idea, for now, but your friends must be off the premise by midnight and stay only in your room, at a reasonable volume level." said Gabriel.
"Yes, Father. I shall let them know now and will inform Miss Rossi of our planned activities tomorrow." spoke Adrien.
"Very well." said the elder Agreste, with a wave of dismissal.
"So how did it go?" asked Nino.
"He approved of everything!" cried Adrien, excitedly.
"Really?" questioned his best friend.
"Yep. Oh, and I more news. He allowed us to have game night here in my room!" announced Adrien.
"Are you sure that's your Old Man." asked Nino.
"There are some rules." spoke Adrien.
"I spoke to soon." Nino sighed, causing Adrien to laugh.
"I usually have early shoots on Saturdays so everyone has to leave by midnight. We also have to stay in my room and keep the volume to a reasonable level." continued the young Agreste.
"That's cool, Dude. Still open to all genders?" asked Nino.
"Yep. I'm assuming Alya comes to these." chuckled Adrien.
"Nah, she uses it as time to prep for her classes." yawned Nino.
"It is getting late and I have a shoot at 10AM." yawned Adrien in return.
"Night, Bro. Oh, I'll text you the address to the karaoke place." spoke Nino.
"Great. See you tomorrow." said Adrien.
"Tomorrow." said Nino and hung up.
'I can't wait to see everyone again. I wonder what they've been up to. Lila won't be able to manipulate me with so many witnesses.'
