Luna changed her clothes into something cleaner since she was sweating and removed her hand-wraps before meeting Ace in front of the building as he said.
"let's go?" Ace asked when Luna walked towards him. "where are we going anyway?" Luna asked, trying to calm down. "to your favorite place, of course, my treat" Ace said and walked towards his car to open the door for Luna. Luna sat on the passenger's seat, Ace sat on the driver's seat and started driving. They arrived at a coffee shop and Luna felt a little uneasy, it was the coffee shop where her parents saw her. They went in and a waiter guided them to their table. "spill it, what's wrong?" Ace asked straightforwardly. "I had a date last night. Apparently, the guy knows my parents and told me that my father arranged a marriage for us. He said that the wedding will happen when I turn 22, which is in a couple of months from now" Luna explained. "why didn't you just execute him? That's what I taught you to do, if anyone did you wrong, make them pay back" Ace said. "I tried, I went into his house and made him suffer, I thought I left him to die since he was bleeding so much, but then he still came to work earlier. Luckily, he didn't realize that the person who attacked him last night was me since I was wearing my mask and my black contact lenses" Luna said. "His name is Michael. I don't remember his last name though" Luna explained further. Ace just nodded and stood up to order at the counter. Luna was looking around her, checking if anything was suspicious.
"Fuck you for making me paranoid," she thought
After a few minutes, Ace came back with two drinks in his hands. "why were you looking around?" Ace asks while placing their drinks on the table. "this is the coffee shop my parents saw me walk in, Michael told me that mother showed him a photo of me coming in here one time, just so he knows who he's about to marry" Luna said and rolled her eyes. "we're not near the windows anyway, we're safe. We won't be staying long anyway, I just wanted you to calm down, Adrien panicked and went to my office earlier" Ace said before taking a sip of his drink. "why?" Luna asked. "didn't you realize how aggressive you were punching earlier? It made Adrien so worried" Ace said with a smirk. "why would he worry about me? it's not the first time he's seen me like that. Hell, he even saw me kill hundreds of people" Luna said in confusion. "You are so oblivious Luna" Ace pointed out with a smirk. "what do you mean?" Luna asked, still not getting it. "Adrien obviously likes you" Ace mentioned. "Yeah right, whatever Ace," Luna said with a scoff. Ace just chuckled and continued drinking his coffee.
After a few minutes, Ace and Luna went back to the headquarters and Luna went back to the training room, no one was there, at least, that's what she thought. She went towards a metal cabinet full of her favorite weapons and picked out her favorite gun. She went to the shooting area and started to shoot.
"Stand straight and chin up Luna, be professional, don't slouch, and act like a proper lady"
Just remembering those words from her mother made her furious.
"Luna?! What the hell did you just do? You almost ruined our names you dumbshit"
She kept on shooting at the same target, unaware of her surroundings.
Adrien walked into the training room with two drinks and some pastries in his hands, knowing that Luna will still be in the room. He looked at her and noticed how concentrated she is. He walked towards the table in the room and puts the food down. "hey" he said, trying to call out Luna, but failed. So, he walked towards her and grabbed her shoulders. Luna turned around and pointed the gun at Adrien. He raised his hands up. "Woah there, calm down," He said, and so she did. Luna lowered the gun and her head as well, heaving a long sigh. Adrien took the opportunity and grabbed the gun from Luna's hand and placed it back in the metal cabinet. He then walked back to Luna and gently grabbed her hand to drag her towards the table. "what are you doing Adrien?" Luna asked once they were in front of the table. Adrien just stayed silent and gave her one of the coffees that he had bought while Luna and Ace were gone. She hesitated at first because she was confused but eventually took it in her hands and took a sip. She immediately calmed down because of the coffee and it made Adrien smile a little bit.
"I just thought that maybe you needed a little break. So, I brought some pastries and coffees for us" Adrien explained, making Luna nod. They started to eat quietly until Adrien spoke. "I know you don't open up to just anyone, but I've been your friend for 8 years, and I really want to know what's going on in your head sometimes" he mentioned. Luna rolled her eyes and scoffed. "and why do you even want to know?" she asked. "because I'm worried Luna. There are times that you're just so quiet, horrifyingly quiet. And then there are times that you're just ready to kill anyone who touches you." Adrien said. "I want to be someone who you can open up to. I know that you already have Kelly to do that job in your life, but it wouldn't hurt to open up to someone close to you that's other than Kelly and Ace. I want to be someone who you can call when you're not feeling good, and I'll come to you right away" he added. "it's like you want to be my boyfriend" Luna jokingly said. "and what if I do?" Adrien confessed. Luna stopped drinking her coffee and looked at Adrien's eyes to see if he was being serious, and surprising for Luna, he is being serious. She scoffed and continued with her drink. "you know I don't do that shit Adrien" she said without looking at him. "Come on Luna, give me a chance. And I don't need to be your boyfriend, I just need you to be comfortable with me. I need you to trust me" Adrien explained, trying to convince her. Luna paused for a while and looked at him for a while.
"Luna, it's been years, give him a shot," Her subconscious thought
"Yeah, no, hell no. we're not sure if he's going to leave us in the end or not, I am not taking that risk," her conscious mind said in defense
"It's Adrien, you've known him for 8 years. He's been there by your side ever since you stepped into this company"
"I know, but-"
"Luna? You still with me?" Adrien asked, making Luna snap out of her thoughts. "Yeah" she simply responded. She took a moment to decide before speaking again. "How about this, give me 2 days to decide whether to open up to you or not. But about the boyfriend thing, yeah good luck with that" she explained before grabbing her coffee and walked into the locker room to get her stuff. When she got her things, she left to go home, leaving Adrien in the training room alone.
"I won't give up easily Luna, I won't give up on you so easily," Adrien thought before standing up to leave as well.
