Now and Forever
"Hey, Ladybug?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you think we'll always be like this? I mean, as crime-fighters and all. We've been at it for a year already, and I thought… of how time flies."
Ladybug thought for a moment. "I guess… if there aren't any villains besides Hawk Moth, we would have to give back our Miraculous, wouldn't we? Since we wouldn't do anything more…"
Chat Noir's ears dropped a little as he adorned a worried face. "I don't want to stop being Chat Noir… I enjoy this too much. I can be free..." He said softly, looking to the bright and lively city.
The superheroine looked at him. "…I know what you mean. You can do and be whatever you want… right?" He nodded, still looking away. She sighed as she looked to the city and felt the breeze pick up, making her hair flow beautifully.
Chat Noir chose that moment to look at her, and was mesmerized by her raw beauty. He stared for a moment, his tongue tied. He loved her. He loved her with all his being, but he couldn't say this, as she didn't love him back, he was sure of it. But he would wait. He was patient.
Ladybug felt eyes on her, and looked to the side, seeing Chat Noir staring at her intently, and it was making the bluenette slightly uncomfortable. "W-what? Want to say something?" No response. "Chat Noir? Chat Noir!" She snapped her fingers, finally making him break out of his trance, shaking his head.
"W-what?" He burbled out. The red-clad heroine smiled playfully.
"Cat got your tongue?"
The black cat hero stared, mouth agape. Did she just…
They stared at each other until they started laughing, holding their sides. Ladybug stopped, paying attention to her partner's laugh, noticing how familiar it was. She heard it before, but couldn't put a finger on it. It's… very nice. Suddenly, Chat Noir hugged her, making her jump a little.
"Please, let us… let us stay like this a bit more…"
She smiled softly, hugging him back tenderly. "Silly kitty."
This was made to celebrate 1 year of Miraculous! I wanted this to be a short and sweet one-shot! I hope you liked it as much as I did :D
