"Ivan! We need to talk."

Ivan flinched when he heard that iron tone in Mylene's voice. He turned around to see his tiny girlfriend glaring up at him with her arms crossed.

"What is it?" Ivan held up his hands defensively. He didn't think that he'd forgotten anything particularly important. Mylene's birthday wasn't till the spring, he had made it to patrol last night, so it couldn't be that, and as far as he knew he hadn't forgotten any special dates or anniversaries.

"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about!" Mylene looked kind of cute in a sort of scary way when she was angry. Admittedly, he usually thought that when wasn't she wasn't giving him the evil eye with her hands on her hips, looking like she was ready for a fight. "Come with me."

Mylene grabbed his hand and started to pull him away. Under normal circumstances she wouldn't be able to move him, but Ivan knew better than to try and resist. He could see that their classmates were pretending not to pay attention to them as Mylene dragged him out.

She went a short way down the hall before poking her head into an abandoned classroom and shoving Ivan in and closing the door. "What were you thinking last night?"

"I was just defending you, Mylene."

"You could've died!"

"You know that the turtle miraculous protects me from most of the damage." It certainly protected him more than the butterfly miraculous protected her.

"That doesn't change anything." Mylene surprised Ivan by hugging him as tight as she could and burying her face in his chest. "I don't want you to get hurt trying to protect me," she said softly.

"But that's my job. I defend you so you can create your champions and save the day." There was no way he was going to risk Mylene getting hurt, even if it meant getting a few extra bruises himself.

"That doesn't mean you should take unnecessary risks. Hornet nearly got you that time."

"She nearly got you too," Ivan said softly. He didn't want to think about what nearly happened.

Mylene bit her lip and looked away. "I-I just don't want to face her alone. You give me courage when we fight, I don't want you to be unable to fight and leave me alone."

"I'll always be there for you, Mylene." Ivan lifted her up. She shrieked a little before giggling. "Even if I can't save you as Bouclier, I'll save you as Ivan."

"Promise?" She was smiling now.

"Promise." Ivan started to kiss her before putting her down but was surprised when she started to kiss him back.

Neither of them heard the door open behind them as Alix poked her head in the classroom.

"Hey, lovebirds! Madame Bustier wants you back in class," she shouted at them before slamming the door shut behind her.

Ivan sheepishly put Mylene down. "We should probably go back to class," he said scratching his head.

"Yeah." Mylene was looking at the ground.

Ivan started to walk towards the door. "Are you coming?"

Mylene nodded and started to walk towards him. "Could you at least try to be a little more cautious, though? It'd make me feel better."

"Yeah," Ivan held the door so Mylene could walk through the door first. "I'll try. But if you're in danger I'm not going to hesitate."

She smiled. "I know."

Ivan didn't say anything more. There wasn't anything else that needed to be said. He reached for her hand and she took his and together they walked back to class.

AN: Kwami Swap week! Yeah! I've only got a few entries planned for this week because my life is currently low key crazy, but one of those days happens to be today, so I hope you enjoy some Ivan/Mylene fluff/drama (idk). I think that they'd make a good superhero pair. Ivan's hero name, Bouclier, means shield in french (I think, I used an online dictionary) and, though it isn't mentioned in the story, Mylene's name is Swallowtail. They work together to fight Hornet, an unidentified bee miraculous wielder (seriously, I have no idea who she is).

Anywho, I hope you enjoyed reading it and I'll be back on day 5 with some Chat Noir!Marinette and Ladybug!Adrien. Toodles! :)
