AN at the end! Please read:)
Paris' night was quiet.
The Eiffel Tower loomed over the city. The city was dark, with only the occasional gentle flash of light on the streets. It was the dead of the night, and Paris was asleep, with no one to notice the two dark figures leaping gracefully from rooftop to rooftop.
Ladybug let out a soft laugh as she hurled her yoyo once again, latching onto the top of the next building and allowing herself to swing from her perch. Landing easily on the building, she turned back with a smile, blue eyes scanning the streets for her partner.
"Looking for someone, my lady?" the familiar voice of her partner resonated in her ear, and she spun around, meeting the feline eyes of Chat Noir.
"Why, yes," she said with a laugh, "I'm looking for my partner. He runs around Paris in a black leather suit on a regular basis. Have you seen him, by any chance?"
"Hmm," Chat Noir faked a thoughtful look and tapped his chin with his finger, "I might have, but you know what?" he leaned in close. "I heard that he likes being with his lady."
"Really, now?" she asked, smirking at him, taking a step closer.
Chat took a step forward as well, bringing their bodies so close that Ladybug could feel his breath ghosting over her face. "Yes, really," he murmured, his emerald gaze roaming her face. "I also heard that he would really like a kiss from a certain princess."
"And a kiss he shall have," she breathed, voice barely more than a whisper. She was barely able to finish her sentence when she felt a pair of lips softly ghosting over hers, chapped from the wind, and a pair of strong arms wrapping around her waist. Ladybug allowed herself to melt into the kiss of the kindest and gentlest person she had ever known, before she suddenly pushed forward, wrapping her arms around his neck, pouring her love for him into the now passionate kiss.
The response was immediate. His lips moved gently against hers, and he reached a clawed hand up to cup her face tenderly. She could feel him holding back, afraid of pushing past her boundaries, and god, he was so considerate and kind and good and she loved him so much it hurt.
Not long after, she pulled back reluctantly to catch her breath, taking in the disheveled appearance of her partner, and knowing that she probably looked the same.
She moved to the edge of the building there were currently on and sat down, dangling her feet over the edge fearlessly. A moment later, Chat joined her, and for several minutes they sat in comfortable silence, taking in the breathtaking sight of the city they fought so hard to protect.
After a few minutes of silence, Chat spoke up, his voice seemingly very loud in the silence of the night. "Princess… Do you… do you ever wonder happens… after this is all over?"
She met his eyes, angling her head curiously. "What do you mean, Chat?"
He cleared his throat. "I mean… after this Hawkmoth business is over. Do we still continue with this life? What if…" Chat Noir's eyes flickered slightly with emotion, before he broke their gazes, looking away. "It's… it's nothing. I'm being stupid."
"Hey." She said softly, grabbing his face and looking straight at him. "Tell me what's wrong, kitty."
He swallowed visibly. "I… well… you know how Hawkmoth's akumas have been getting stronger lately? You know how we get injured more and more easily, and how our injuries get worse each time? Hawkmoth is getting stronger, his akumas are getting stronger, and I'm afraid…" he swallowed again and looked out at the city, "I'm afraid that one day… we'll get overwhelmed. He's managed to create two akumas at the same time so far. Two, Ladybug. What if…" his voice broke, and he trailed off.
Ladybug was silent for a moment, before she grabbed his hand with both of hers. "Hey. It'll be fine. We're Ladybug and Chat Noir, remember? We're invincible. Fearless. Unstoppable. We can take everything that Hawkmoth throws at us. We'll be fine, kitty. Besides," she tried for a smile, gazing up into those emerald pools she could oh-so-easily get lost in, "even if we do… die… we'll find each other once again, one way or another. Don't you believe in fate? Destiny?" she leaned in close, brushing her nose against his, "Remember how you told me once that we're fated for one another, Adrien? Remember when you said that we're soulmates, destined to be together no matter what? Like you said, we're bound together, and I can't leave you even if I wanted to," she joked, seeing some of the familiar light go back into Chat's eyes, "We'll be fine."
Chat leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers, briefly, softly, and drew back, "Yeah," he drew in a shuddering breath, "We'll be fine." He repeated, "We'll be fine. No matter what," his hand ghosted over her cheek and brushed back a strand of loose hair, "we'll be together. I'll find you, no matter what happens."
She smiled. "See? There's nothing to be afraid of, chaton. I told you so."
He stood up and pulled her to her feet, and they stood, bodies pressed against one another, foreheads touching, hands twined together.
"We'll be fine," Chat's whisper seemed to echo over and over again in her heart, "Everything will be fine." He leaned in for another kiss, and she felt his need to be with her, all of her. Pink and green light flashed the moment their lips connected, and she managed to catch the faint murmur passing his lips.
"In this life, or the next, or the one after, no matter what… I'll find you."
I finally worked up the courage to write my first story, and to my delight, this first fic belongs to the Miraculous Ladybug fandom! I do hope you liked the prologue! Anyways, as you can see from the summary, this will be a collection of one-shots taking place in other universes. The possibilities are endless! Anyways, I'd like to ask you readers to send in prompts for me to write. It can be anything from the cliché normal high school AU to an animal AU to an AU from another TV show/book. I'll gladly take your suggestions into consideration and I promise to try and write all of them!
