Puns Galore
"How's it going m'lady?"
Ladybug turned to the soft whoosh of Chat retracting his baton and smiled, "I'm doing great. Thanks for asking Chat. How about you?"
"I'm doing absolutely claw-some," Chat said with a smirk leaning on the side of the fire escape.
Oh no. Not again. Ladybug thought. Please don't be another "I'm using a pun at all costs" day.
"Isn't this just the most beautiful Caturday evening LB?"
Ladybug groaned, "Saturday, Chat. It's Saturday."
Chat frowned as he trudged closer to Ladybug, "My lady, how can I purr-suade you that my puns are meow-velous."
"More like paw-ful," Ladybug snorted. She abruptly covered her mouth, realizing what she had just done, "no Chat..."
Chat brightened, "Pun-derful m'lady! I've been waiting for a mew-ment like this where Ladybug finally falls for my meow-nificent sense of humor. Or maybe you fell for my cathletic build?" He finished flexing his biceps.
Smirking, Ladybug replied, "No. I'm more into mew-sicians. And yes, Chat, I'm paw-sitive about it."
"Well how paw-fect!" Chat said countering Ladybug, "I happen to be a mew-sician myself! Although I have pro-cat-stinated on practicing ever since I became a crime fighting cat. Someday I'll have to steal a mew-ment of your time to play the piano for you m'lady."
Ladybug chuckled, "That's ironic. Adrien was telling me how he was procrastinating today too," Ladybug continued to trail off.
Chat, or rather Adrien, could not believe his ears. He nearly choked on his next sentence, "Adrien A-Agreste, m'lady?"
Her eyes widened. She couldn't believe she said that out loud. "Umm. Pretend I never said that."
"I can't do that m'lady," Chat said shakily, "because I only talked to one person about that today."
"You only talked to one person about what?" Ladybug said slowly carefully putting emphasis on the you.
He sighed. He silently cursed himself for saying that. He could've just pretended he didn't hear Ladybug murmur his civilian name, but they say curiosity killed the cat. But it's more like there's no way he could cover up for his slip of the tongue.
He sighed then started slowly, "I only talked to one person about procrastinating on my piano practice... Marinette."
Please let me be right. Please let me be right because it'll be weird and embarrassing if I'm not.
Her jaw went slack. She couldn't move. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her own name, but wrong outfit.
"B-but you, how?" Marinette barely squeaked out. She knew what was coming next, she had to. But she wasn't sure if she really wanted to believe it.
His eyes were everywhere. Everywhere but her. "Today at school. I told Marinette Dupain-Cheng that I haven't been practicing the piano as much as I should."
"A-Adrien?"
"Hey princess..."
Marinette screamed on the inside. She wasn't sure what to feel. Happy that her partner is actually her crush? Embarrassed that her partner is actually her crush? Confused because her partner is actually her crush?
"Y-You're..."
"Yeah I am," Chat said rubbing the back of his neck in a very Adrien way, "and you're Marinette."
"Yeah. I-I guess so," stammered Ladybug with a blush rising to her cheeks.
Chat finally looked her in the eye. It was soft and comforting, "I think we need some time to agreste this information."
"Okay. I'm done here," Marinette said with an eye roll and zipped off into the Paris skyline.
"Purr-incess! Wait for me!"
haha! ended with a reveal ;p
honestly was not planning on it but it just kinda happened.
btw the agreste pun is supposed to be "assess" not sure if it was clear or not but i thought it was funny lol
