Hey, OTPeople! Halloween is soon! And that means it's almost candy rampage time… In this chapter, Ladybug and Cat Noir indirectly break the fourth wall a little bit when they refer to LadyNoir.
...
Ladybug yo-yoed her way towards the Eiffel Tower.
"You look pawsitively lovely this evening," Cat Noir greeted her.
"Now is not the time to joke around. Something really bad is going to happen tomorrow," Ladybug warned him.
"Are you talking about how we're all going to turn into monsters?" Cat Noir asked.
Ladybug snorted. "Not necessarily monsters. I'm going to be a princess."
"Father says I have to be a vampire," Cat Noir sighed.
Father? Why would he refer to his dad as something so formal? Ladybug thought.
"So you're going to be a bat cat?" Ladybug asked.
"Ha. Ha. Ha," Cat Noir deadpanned. "Anyway, I don't think we can transform tomorrow. My kwami said that it takes a lot of willpower to restrain his Halloween magic."
"We just need to keep an eye on the mean people in this city. Specifically, the mayor's daughter," Ladybug said.
"You're right. Chloe's caused almost half of the akumas in Paris," her partner responded.
"When our kwamis can't handle the Halloween magic, we need to watch out for people with scary costumes."
"I'll make sure that I won't turn everyone into vampires," Cat Noir joked.
"I'll make sure I won't burst out into a song every time I see a woodland creature," Ladybug laughed.
"I personally hope that you fall into a deep sleep tomorrow. I would love to awaken my lady with true love's kiss," Cat Noir purred.
"Excuse me, Prince Charming, but vampires can't be fairy tale heroes."
"Oh, so you accept that I'm your Prince Charming?" Cat Noir questioned.
"In your dreams, Puss in Boots," Ladybug said.
"What hurts is the fact that your nickname for me is thoroughly accurate," her partner sighed.
"Besides, you're not my Prince Charming," Ladybug said.
"Is it…..Adrien Agreste?" Cat Noir asked, with a completely innocent look on his face.
Ladybug blushed. "Ahhhhh- What? No-...Never! I'm his leagues out of! I mean, I'm out of his leagues!" she blurted.
Cat Noir felt an odd sense of deja vu when he heard Ladybug stutter.
"A super famous girl like you not fit for a super famous guy like him? I've seen you blushing whenever you see his posters. My my, I never thought that the heroic Bugaboo would be just another fangirl, crushing on a guy she's never even met. For shame," he mock-scolded her.
"Adrien Agreste is my friend," Ladybug argued.
"Going to his mansion to save him from akumatized villains doesn't make you his friend," Cat Noir said.
"He's my friend under the mask," Ladybug quietly said.
Sometimes that dumb kitty forgets that I'm a normal person who has a normal life when I'm not fighting the bad guys, Ladybug thought.
Under the mask? Cat Noir thought. He mentally scrolled through the list of girls at his school. None of them have the athletic build of Ladybug, except for Alix and the girls who are on sports teams. Could Ladybug be a model like him? It was definitely possible.
"Let's stop talking about my love life and start patrolling," she continued.
There was only one measly akuma that evening. They defeated 'The Cleaner,' an elderly janitor, in record time.
Well, it would've been record time if a certain cat hadn't been fooling around during most of the battle.
Who knew there were so many garbage-themed puns?
Ladybug barely needed her Miraculous Ladybug cleansing spell, considering the worst damage done was a few upturned desks.
"Such a shame. I'm going to miss that lemony smell," Cat Noir sighed as Ladybug did her akuma-purifying routine.
After they helped the janitor up and explained what happened, they talked about the danger that loomed ahead.
"I really hope there are no akumas tomorrow. I am really not in the mood to have obsessive fangirls fawn over me like I'm that guy from Twilight," Cat Noir said.
Ladybug couldn't help it. She doubled over in laughter.
"Obsessive fangirls already fawn over you. The other day, my best friend called you slick," Ladybug said as she rolled her eyes.
"So my lady does talk about me in her spare time," Cat Noir confirmed.
"My best friend was the one who brought up the topic of you," Ladybug said. "I thought I was going to barf when I saw all of the romantic posters of us in her room yesterday."
Cat Noir's emerald eyes widened in glee. "Does she have the LadyNoir posters? Because I, personally, have a secret stash in my closet."
"What sickens me is that people have a ship name for us," Ladybug shuddered.
"Would meow be a bad time to mention that I was the one who came up with the ship name?" Cat Noir asked.
Ladybug indignantly glared at him.
"It was you?!" Ladybug sputtered.
"One hundred percent," he admitted.
Beep. Beep.
Ladybug's earrings gave a final warning.
"Sorry, kitty, but I have to go before I change back," Ladybug said as she ran off of the school's rooftop.
Cat Noir sighed as he departed to his own house and detransformed.
A sudden thought practically slapped Adrien's face.
Wait, Adrien thought. Ladybug has a crush on me. LADYBUG has a crush on ME. LADYBUG HAS A CRUSH ON ME.
"Jeez, kid. You said it three times. I got it the first time," Plagg sarcastically commented.
Oops. I said that out loud.
And…Ladybug told me that she's my friend in civilian life. But who?
Adrien was too tired to think about Ladybug's secret identity and fell asleep.
...
This chapter was kinda late. The final one may come out after Halloween. Sorry for my bad planning. Anyway, goodbye OTPeople! -Shadow of the Elements
