The push

feels like a rush,

hands find a spot just beneath his neck,

and her fingers dust him

and all that he can see

is her,

and how bright her blues eyes are.

Cat Noir reaches out and gingerly

brushes stray strands of hair

out of her face,

and he smiles.

There's something about being in his suit

and facing off another Akuma with her,

something about secrets

that are on the list of things never to be revealed,

and yet that's more than enough

to tickle her veins

and make his green eyes sparkle.

Cat Noir gingerly holds her closer,

and Ladybug smiles back at him.
