Day 2: Banter
"I've had enough, Chat!" Ladybug whirled on her partner, an accusing finger pointed in his direction. He took in her flushed cheeks and irritation, his teasing grin slipping just a little.
"What, I can't compliment my Lady?" He held up both hands to protest his innocence, stopping short on the rooftop they'd been loping across.
She gripped her small hands into fists and stamped one foot. "That's not what I mean, and you know it."
"All this because i said you look meow-velous?" Chat Noir smiled at the reprise of his own joke.
"Augh! The puns! Always with the puns! I can't stand any more!"
"Maybe you should sit, then." He watched as Ladybug's face went from red to white then back to red again. She seemed like she might explode, if her expression was any indication. Chat Noir pursed his lips, amazed. His puns were great! And they added an important flair to their superhero work. What could be wrong with them?
"Say one more word. I dare you." Ladybug walked slowly toward him, feeding out her yo-yo. Good Lord, had she been akumatized? Surely the power of puns wasn't this strong.
"Paw-don me, Bug, but the puns are purr-fect and I'm feline a little too much hostility from you. I'll grant there's a paws-ibility I overuse them, but you're obviously the su-purr-ior hero here, and I gotta use my best tail-ent in the field." As the words left his lips, he could see he'd gone too far. Their partnership was officially over, and he was officially a dead body on an anonymous Paris rooftop. He backed away from Ladybug's dark expression as she stalked him across the small roof. He stopped short as something painfully barked his back - the chimney of the home below. Uh-oh.
Ladybug continued to advance, looking furious. "You look furr-ious," he murmured. Oh, geez, he couldn't stop. Purr-haps she had a point - a small one. She stepped into his awkward stance and poked her nose right up into his face. Chat couldn't move, mesmerized by the boiling emotion in her -
Ladybug's grimacing lips locked onto his in a hard kiss. Shocked, he didn't move, but then his senses returned to him and he threw his arms around her, pulling her close to breathe in her scent and return the enthusiastic salutation with his own. Without taking her lips from his, Ladybug reached both hands up and combed her fingers through his hair, causing a cat-like shiver to tingle down his spine. He sighed at the pleasurable touch and tightened his hold to lift her and bring her closer, but she broke away. A slightly dazed look fogged her features as she leaned back, signaling the moment was over. He reluctantly released her to the rooftop, breathless.
"Maybe that will shut you up for a while," she growled, affecting a sulky tone.
"So if I keep talking… does it mean you'll do that again?"
