Got a random urge to do some Miraculous Ladybug and Cat Noir fanfiction. Found the show by accident on Tumblr, a video of Cat Noir's transformation and his character seemed like someone I'd like. The show just leaves too many gaps and is targeted for too young an audience. That and the other fanfictions on the site are mostly one shots. I'm not shamed to admit I read my own work when I get bored and can't find anything else.

For those that don't know the show and are just following me I do recommend it. It's a bit childish but cute in a dorky kind of way. The humor is what really catches me and I'll try to mix that in as best I can with some of the drama here.

Another idea I had was to follow the show plot line and have more development between the two leads and their hero personas then branching out with my own idea's for the show. Depending on how this fanfic is received I might do both.

Regardless please Enjoy. It's a short start but please bare with me. (AN at the bottom for my continuous readers)

Disclaimers: I only wrote the fanfic, I don't own the show.

Sitting atop the roofs at night Ladybug always got the best view of the stars. Even with the eiffel tower in the distance lighting the sky the stars still pushed through showing their light. Clear skies like this always made her feel at ease. But not tonight. Her mind was filled with thought's of her daily life as Marinette. Why could things never be easy?

The day started so good too. Her hair wasn't giving her trouble that morning, she actually woke up early enough to have a good breakfast with her parents. No rushing to school with Alya, instead they strolled laughing and chatting about Alya's siblings or her designs. The day felt so perfect. Then art class started. Normally a pretty calm class, nothing major going on there.

Until the teacher decided to set up a surprise project for everyone. The worse part was they'd been randomly assigned! Sure it could have been worse. She could have been paired with Chloe. But she wasn't really that lucky.

She got paired with Adiren.

Normally that would make her ecstatic. The idea of spending more time with her long time crush and alone at that. It made her heart race. It didn't take long for the realization that this was going to all blow up in her face to hit her. She could hardly get two words out to the guy and everything she said just ended up being weird compliments between awkward attempts at greetings. When both of their names had been called he looked at her from over his shoulder and smiled at her. She could only smile back and wave until Alya was kind enough to smack down her hand to put a stop to her random bout of insanity.

Alya got paired with Nino so she supposed it wasn't all bad. The four of them could work together so she'd have a buffer against her nervousness near Adrien. Not much but it'd help.

As class ended she didn't even want to chance saying something stupid in front of him again. Grabbing her books and her bag she ran out of the room leaving even Alya behind. No doubt Adiren thought she was some kind of weirdo now. Not that he probably didn't think that before.

Sighing for the thousandth time that night she slumped her head against her knee's.

"Is something troubling you My Lady?" The sudden playful and purring voice of her partner nearly made her jump out of her skin. Sighing again she gave him a small greeting not even turning her attention away from the city as he walked over to join her. "Just seeing such a sad expression on your face pains me. What's troubling you?" He asked

Looking at him from the corner of her eyes she smiled. Even when he was being a flirt he was still respectable of her boundaries. Using his playful nature to raise her spirits and offering her a friendly ear to ease her worries. She really couldn't ask for a better partner than Cat Noir.

"Just real life stuff. Nothing big." She shrugged. His silence spoke volumes and his smirk said for her to continue. "Okay fine. I sort of got flustered in class and embarrassed myself. Thing is I don't know what to do. I can't speak to him without messing up." She said more than she'd have liked but once she started she couldn't stop. Dropping her chin on her arms again she groaned.

Cat Noir was thoughtful for a moment before shifting a bit closer and putting his hand on her shoulder. It was easy to figure out that she did something to embarrass herself in front of someone she liked. He knew the feeling, he did it nearly every time there was an Akuma attack. "Perhaps you are just thinking to hard on it. I'm sure it wasn't all that bad." He assured her. "You should just be yourself. Anyone would fall for you after meeting you."

"Cat..." She said sadly raising her head to look at him. He smiled back and shook his head at her.

"So long as my Lady is happy I am happy. I will always be here for you."

Cat Noir really was the best. He made it no secret that he liked her. Even still he never pushed her and kept it all playful, not letting her rejection or blowing off of his flirts get to him. And yet here he was encouraging her not to give up on her crush and persevering. If only she had that kind of confidence and strength.

"It's silly really. We've never even had a proper conversation. I can't even say if he and I are actually friends. Thank you Cat, you always know how to make me feel better." She smiled at him.

"Anything for you my Lady." He grinned.

A sudden beeping noise alerted them that their time was growing short. Bringing her hand up to her ear Ladybug knew her dots were fading one by one. Sighing she stood and dusted herself off. It was about time to head home anyway. Cat rose with her and caught her wrist before she could leave, his clawed glove's hold was loose as if she was made of glass. No matter how long they'd worked together Cat was always careful never to cut her with his claws.

"I won't tell you know. I swear." His green eye's met her own blue one's and she smiled at him sadly. Shaking her head she pulled her arm back.

"It's better this way." This way you won't be disappointed.

Ladybug was strong, confident, powerful. Marinette wasn't. She wasn't any of those things. She was quiet and a bit of an introvert. Rather than going out to hang out with a huge group of people she'd rather stay home and work on her designs or just go to market street with Alya.

If Cat knew the real her he might not see her as Ladybug anymore. That wasn't something she could risk. Cat Noir was her friend, the only person that understood how hard it was being both a teen and a hero at the same time. He was her black cat and she his lucky charm. That was how it should be.

"See you tomorrow." Smiling to him she pulled out her Yoyo and swung out into the night leaving him behind.

"Till next time My Lady." He sighed with a small smile as he watched the item of his affections disappear around the corner.

Tomorrow was a new day.

There you have it. Not a bad start even if it feel a bit lacking. I don't want to add more cause then it'll feel like I'm doing it just to up the word count.

For those that read my Proto-creed series, don't worry I haven't given up on it by any means. Work and life have just caught up with me and it's been hard to write. This was just a spur of the moment thing while I lament over my previous work being deleted from the site cause I left the document idle past the time limit. It's my own fault but that means I have to start again. Give me some time and I'll get it done. Don't worry. You'll get your Alex and Desmond sexy time.

Until then please continue to support me and my work. It really does mean a lot to me.

R&R and let me know what you thought, don't be shy.
