Before the whole mess with Pitch started, before everyone in Bellerouge started fearing that the Bogeyman had returned, Yang had had Adrien over at her place to ask him an important question. It had been on her mind for a while, and she figured now was the time to finally act on it. So, she'd invited him over for an otherwise pretty chill date. She had a cooking show playing on the TV, she'd just returned with some greasy burgers and plenty of french fries from the local fast food joint, and she had a couple of soda cans chilling in the fridge. Everything was perfect, and she couldn't help but smile once she heard Adrien's car pull up into the driveway.

After a long day at the office, a text from Yang was just what he needed. Namine all but shooed him away so she could work with Natalie when she saw that goofy expression on his face after getting the text. It was nice to have someone understand. So he rushed over, eager to get in as much time with Yang as possible. Between their jobs and everything, each moment was precious. He hopped out of his car and smoothed a hand through his hair before heading to the door. He smiled as he knocked.

Yang was still smiling by the time she answered the door, and Adrien's smile seemed to mimic her own. "Hey baby," she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek and then a hug. "They working you to the bone over there?" she teased, although she knew that was hardly the case. Any attempts on his part to work until exhaustion were usually cut short by Natalie. Having an assistant could come in handy in times like that.

Adrien smiled and hugged her tightly before pulling back to look at her. Perhaps he was a little emotional after seeing her for the first time in a while. Texting and phone calls with dates in between could only do so much considering he used to visit her almost once or twice a week as Chat Noir. But he hung up his mask. The last thing he wanted to have happen was have Yang have to arrest him. That would not be good for either of them. Considering the few illegal things Chat Noir had done.
"Between Natalie and Namine I don't think I could overwork myself if I tried." he said, "What about you? You've been busy with work."

"Just a little," Yang replied. "We've got one less person out in the field ever since Sunshine announced that she was pregnant. But I guess that means less paperwork for us since that's all she's been doing." In a way, it seemed like the Others Unit was shuffling partners around quite a bit lately. Sure, the Commissioner did that every once in a while if a certain crime scene or situation required a special combination of people. But Pitch had been out of commission for a while after the Apocalypse. And now Sunshine was taken out of the field for her and the baby's safety. Yang sometimes hoped that things could be stable at least for a little bit at the Others Unit, but that was probably too much to ask for. With a crazy group like theirs, they were anything but stable. She led Adrien inside the house, not being able to resist the urge to squeeze his hand. "I got our favorite fast food to indulge in," she said. "Burgers, soda, and plenty of fries."

"My angel," he gushed. "I don't deserve you."
And really, he was famished. If she hadn't already had food, he would have suggested getting something delivered in. At least he didn't have to mind what he ate anymore now that he wasn't the sole face of the Agreste Industries fashion line. He had a few other models working for him now which took pressure off him. Plus, Yang knew he loved horrendously greasy foods. Things he shouldn't eat on a model diet.

Yang had to snicker at Adrien's response. It was funny, and cute. She pulled Adrien's soda out of the fridge and handed it to him before getting her own and pulling out her burger that had bacon, cheese that was just starting to melt, and plenty of lettuce and tomato. "Here's to us," she said, poking her burger against Adrien's as one would clink a champagne glass against another. Despite eating at this place multiple times over the years, their burgers were still awesome, and she gave a sigh of contentment after taking her first bite.

Adrien popped the cap on his soda and took a hearty drink before clinking his glass against Yang's. They didn't need fancy red wines or sparkling champagne to be happy. Really, she spoiled him far too much when it came to things like this. But he had his own way to spoil her so he supposed things were fair. For a few minutes, the two of them relished their meal in silence. Once he got his sated his stomach, he smiled at her.
"Any more surprises planned tonight?" he teased.

Adrien meant the question as a joke, but Yang still found it uncanny that he phrased it like that, considering what she wanted to ask him. "Sort of," she replied. "I also wanted you to come over 'cause...well, I wanted to ask you something." She glanced up at him, hoping that saying that wasn't going to make him freak out or something.

Adrien stopped mid chew. He had only been kidding but it seemed Yang had something on her mind. So he swallowed thickly, bumping his fist to his chest when the burger went down hard and following it up with a drink. It wasn't like her to be hesitant. He tried to be honest with her ever since the whole reveal of 'Chat Noir' being 'Adrien'. His secrets almost cost him dearly. Just like how his mother's cost her. He would not be like her. He would not end up disappearing because he was unable to own up to something.
"Uh yeah, go ahead."

"So I was thinking..." Yang played idly with the straw inside her cup as she spoke. "I know we've talked a little bit about getting married and having kids and stuff. But we haven't really talked too much about the step most couples take before any of that: living together." She glanced up at Adrien. "I think we're ready to move onto that step. What do you think?"

Adrien regarded Yang. This was a rather serious step for both of them. They had mentioned kids and marriage but that was further down the line. When the both of them were ready for it. He certainly hadn't wanted to pressure her into anything that she hadn't wanted. Moving in was the natural step to progress. Plus, if they lived together they wouldn't be limited to only when someone was free. They would be together. The thought sent his face pink at the thought.
"Well, I think that'd be okay." he said. "You already have things at my place... And I have things here.. What would you like to do?"

"I thought about that too," Yang said. "And I'm leaning towards moving into your place...if you're okay with it," she hastily added. God forbid Adrien think she wanted to move into his place just because it was a nice, huge mansion. She had some reasoning behind her decision. She just hoped it made sense. "I guess I just feel like...when the kids went off with their guardians, and I didn't really know what to do with myself, Riku gave me this house so I could have somewhere to call home while I figured out what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be. And when I lost my arm and I felt like everything was slipping away, I had this place to give me shelter while I recovered. That's what I think this house could be used for: a place where someone can stay if they're having trouble and need some time to figure things out." She paused before adding "I haven't really talked with Riku and Sunshine about any of this, but that's what I was thinking. And I know your house has some...unpleasant memories, but I bet we could make lots of happy ones to drive those away." She took Adrien's hand, giving it another squeeze. That was what she really wanted to do, to make Adrien's house feel like home after his father made it feel like a prison for so long.

"Oh Yang..."
He knew how hard things had been on her and her willingness to move past those dark times was only one of many reasons that he loved her. She was like diamond forged through pressure and fire. She also shone twice as bright as any gemstone he knew of. In fact, it overfilled him with joy to know that she wanted to say in his house. Her brightness and her light would chase away the dark shadows that seemed to linger after the many years. Having more people there had certainly helped get rid of the gloom but with Yang, he felt like there wouldn't be any darkness left.
"Of course. I can... We can... If you like you can have your own room until... you're ready to share one?"
The last thing he wanted to do was assume they'd share a room off the bat. If anything, sharing a room would be a huge distraction because he would be by Yang the entire night.

Adrien seemed to really like the idea, and that made Yang smile. She had to admit, a teeny tiny part of her had worried that Adrien might say no, although she knew that was just her doubt messing with her. They'd always taken things slow, considering how messed up both of them had been when they'd first admitted their feelings to each other. Adrien had been dealing with his father's death and taking on the fashion company, and Yang had still been adjusting to life with one arm. But Yang felt like they were ready to move onto the next step. When Adrien brought up sharing a room, she gave a little laugh before saying "We pretty much do whenever I spend the night at your place. Or vice versa." Falling asleep in Adrien's bed had pretty much become routine for her if she planned on staying there overnight. Falling asleep in Adrien's arms made her feel safe, and it always chased away any bad thoughts that were lingering in her head.
