Hello! Kitty here! So this is my first miraculous fanfiction, and I actually started writing this in class (thankfully no one saw...that would be pretty hard to explain). Anyways, here is my contribution to the Miraculous fandom that I love so very much! I hope you guys like it! Make sure to read my notes at the bottom as well!

Disclaimer: Oh my god, I WISH I owned Miraculous. It is by far one of my favorite shows. But I don't, so here's to hoping Papillion won't turn me into an akuma.

Chapter 1

"Ladybug! Ladybug over here!"

"Ladybug, mind answering some questions?"

"Once again another amazing victory, Ladybug!"

The reporters seemed to swarm in left and right, flanking her from all sides. By now she had to admit she was used to the large crowds and publicity, but after a long (and if she might add, weird) fight with the newest akuma "Atlascare" (was Papillon even trying anymore?), she was tired, as was Chat Noir. Hell, they hadn't even been able to go their traditional 'Bien joué!' before the reporters arrived.

Besides, it didn't help that she still had homework to do. However, she was swarmed, and knew she couldn't escape till some of the reporters backed away, the fact the Alya was there too, persistently recording on her phone, did nothing to help the situation.

Chat was standing just beside her, and she could tell he wanted to leave too. He didn't mind the attention as much, but she remembers when he had once said 'I get enough publicity like this when I'm not in costume.' She could tell that he didn't care to be in the spotlight, but Ladybug couldn't deny the look of admiration and...loneliness?...that adorned his features in these situations.

Some of the questions asked were quite personal...okay, a lot were, but Ladybug has become rather skilled in evading questions, yet still being able to back the crowd away so she could actually breathe.

After about a minute the two superheroes could tell the crowd was backing up a smidge. They shared a look and just as they were preparing to jump away from the barrage of questions, a reported nearby asked a question.

"Ladybug, how is it to have Chat Noir as your sidekick?"

They froze, eyes wide as the few words seemed to ring in their ears. Chat could feel his skin crawl and his throat tighten, the cat ears on his head pressing down into his hair slightly. Ladybug on the other hand, was feeling a range of emotions; surprise, annoyance, determination. However, the most prominent out of them all built up like fire, raging, raw, fierce.

Ladybug was angry.

Chat was quick to fake a smile, something he had perfected in his civilian life as Adrien, but his instincts were telling, screaming at him to run. He wanted to as well, preparing himself to jump away with a laugh as if it were fine. Well, he was till he saw his lady's face.

That shade of red is not natural… Chat thought as he stared at Ladybug's usually pale face. It was then he noticed the look of fire in her eyes, a look that he knew she only reserved for akumas. Forgetting his plans of escape, he tensed up, curious and unprepared for what was the receiving end of her wrath.

My lady...what-?

"How dare you say something as rude as that!" Ladybug snapped, cutting off his train of thought. Chat could only stare in surprize at her tone. It was like stone, and her confident posture reflected the look in her heaven blue eyes. "Anyone would know that Chat Noir is not my sidekick!" She spat out the word as if it were venom in her mouth. The heroine closed her eyes for a second, allowing herself to take a deep breath, calming her greatly before continuing. "Chat Noir and I are a team. He is my best friend, and most importantly, my partner. I wouldn't be able to save Paris without him."

The crowd stared at her, even Alya's phone grew slack in her grasp. Ladybug was still standing in her confident posture, chin up and arms on her hips. Chat, who had yet to leave her side since the start of the ordeal, was also staring at her, eyes wide in awe, heart pounding in his chest.

"My lady…" He whispered, practically breathing past his lips.

Suddenly a beeping sound interrupted the tension as Ladybug and Chat Noir stiffened knowing that their miraculouses were running out, leaving them with only a few short minutes.

"Well, we would love to stay and chat, but we have to go!" Chat said quickly, extending his staff with a wave. Ladybug followed his lead and threw her yoyo in the same direction as the reporters snapped out of their daze, calling out for the two superheroes.

Ladybug and Chat Noir landed on a close by rooftop, just out of sight from the crowd. Their breathing was heavy, thankful to have gotten away when they did. Ladybug turned to where Chat was with a tired smile, only to be consumed in a hug by the cat himself.

Ladybug smiled, "Alright, come one chaton, I have to go before my miraculous-"

"You...you defended me…" Chat whispered, hugging her tighter.

Ladybug blinked at his words before smiling fondly at him, despite the fact the leather-clad boy couldn't see it, and hugged him back. "Of course I did."

"...Why?"

Ladybug slowly unraveled herself from his arms, watching his curious and awestruck gaze meet her own.

"Because we are a team. I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't true."

Chat Noir took in what she said before he smiled at her words, he could hear the sincerity behind them. "Thanks...um, thank you, Ladybug. That means a lot to me." He said, his smile as bright as ever.

Ladybug laughed playfully, extending her fist towards him. "Now come on, partner. We weren't able to before hand."

Chat Noir felt his signature grin cross his lips, and copied her movements.

"Bien joué!" They said, their fists meeting in the middle of them.

A warning beep from Ladybug's miraculous rang out, signalling her had a minute left. "Well, it's time I head home, Kitty. See you for patrol!" She said, her yoyo positioned ready in her hand.

Chat winked at her. "Oh, of course my lady. Wouldn't miss it for the world." He said, bowing in a dramatic manner.

Ladybug smiled, then turned, yoyo thrown and her lithe body swinging back to wherever she needed to be in her civilian life.

Chat watched her retreating form, waiting till she was out of sight before beginning to bound across the Parisian rooftops to his house.

He briefly stopped on a rooftop near his house, glancing back in the direction she went, his features full of admiration and love. His mind couldn't help reeling back to what his lady said about him, the was she defended him, the strength in her voice.

"Chat Noir is not my sidekick!"

"Chat Noir and I are a team."

"He's my best friend."

"My partner."

He sighed as his miraculous beeped, but nothing could dampen his mood right now. He looked once more out at the skyline, the Eiffel Tower standing in the distance, and bounded the short distance to his house once more, his transformation running out leaving Adrien Agreste in his place just as he entered his room.

He ignored Plagg's insistence for cheese and let his thoughts drift to his crime-fighting partner.

I might not know who the girl under that mask is, but whoever she is, I love her, my lady. My partner…

And there we go! That was pretty interesting to write. Also I'm sorry if this turned out weird or something, I'm trying my best.

If you guys want me to continue this into a story, or even just have another chapter to it, make sure to review, and favorite while you're at it! Makes me feel like people care, and I am a sucker for attention. I am a cat you know? *smirks*

Well, I hope you liked it! And who knows? Maybe see you guys soon! PEACE!
