‘Wayzz!’ Nino yelled, excitement thrumming through him. ‘Where are you?’
It had been two years since Wayzz had first been given to him by Ladybug, and he was now Nino’s permanent companion. They were the best of buds and made a great team, though the little god still struggled occasionally with Nino’s rebellious nature.
Wayzz hesitantly peeked out of his hiding place in the bookshelf. ‘Master, are you sure you want to do this? Won’t you get in trouble for breaking the rules?’
‘Nah, li’l dude! My fam won’t even know I’m gone.’ Nino gave him a mini noogie and Wayzz couldn’t help but giggle. ‘Besides, you know Adrien needs this more than I do.’
Wayzz struggled to argue with that. The stress of exams had eaten away at everyone this year. But with his father’s pressures only increasing and his schedule growing evermore busy, Adrien hadn’t been coping well.
Wayzz exhaled as he took in Nino’s pleading eyes, failing to hide his smile. ‘Oh, very well then.’
‘Yes, Wayzz!’ Nino exclaimed, pumping the air with his fist. ‘Shell On!’
Nino stood at the base of the Eiffel Tower, Wayzz tucked safely under his cap, and smiled. Summer was here and he loved it. The city bustled with late-night Parisians and tourists alike, the air was lovely and warm — not too humid and no cold breeze, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. He breathed it all in and waited for Adrien to arrive.
The two of them had been planning this night for a while now. Adrien had let slip that he’d never been out late in town, or rather, his father had never let him, and Nino had been outraged. So they’d come up with a plan to sneak out and meet up.
Nino’s smile widened when he spotted Adrien moving through the crowds, a look of awe on his face as he took in the glittering city around him. He laughed when Adrien spied him, waved enthusiastically, and ran over.
The two boys embraced each other.
‘Nino, this is amazing!’ Adrien breathed as he stepped back.
‘Summer evenings; I tell you it’s when Paris comes alive, man.’
‘I know, like I’ve looked down on the world like this before, but to actually be a part of it…’ He shook his head and stared hungrily at the sights around him. ‘It’s amazing!’
‘And tonight, it’s all ours!’
Nino grinned as Adrien’s eyes blazed.
