Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir
Chapter 7: Night Chats
The relationship is somewhat strained and odd between Chat Noir and Ladybug but it did not bothered Phoenix much as she had other things to focus on. Instead she actually felt grateful for their emotions to be so distracted as it gave her more opportunities to taunt and tempt Hawk Moth's latest victims each and pass him the messages that she leaves.
"Phoenix my purrty birdie," he called out to her in a purr, returning back to his usual flirty self again except that perhaps he is overdoing it at times that it made her wonder.
"Hmmm?" she hummed out, popping a chocolate into her mouth as she savored the flavor of it in her mouth with obvious pleasure upon her face.
"Why are you so cold and distant to us even though we've been working together quite well for some time?" he asked her in a pitiful like voice, wanting to get closer to her as he cozied up to Phoenix.
Ladybug had left a while back saying that she needs to attend to personal matters. There is still some time left for Chat Noir and was in no rush to de-transformed as he lazed about a little more with Phoenix.
"I do as I pleased and this pleases me," Phoenix told him lazily as she stretched out not too far away from him. Picking up a chocolate himself, Chat Noir popped it into his own mouth and tasted the sweetness of it.
"You sound just like a cat," he purred, leaning over her as he got all cozy up to her, expecting her to move away or reject him like Ladybug but instead Phoenix remained where she is without minding him at all.
"And you kitty, better not be preying on me as your rebound partner," Phoenix turned her head as her silver purple eyes seem to glow a little from the lights of Paris as she leaned in close to his face, her breath teasing the side of his ears that sent a shiver of pleasure down his spine.
Startled and frozen in place, Chat Noir reacted a little slow as he suddenly scurried backwards when he came back to his mind at how she had reacted to his teasing. Chucking beneath her breath at his reaction, it nearly left him stun being able to hear that coming from her for the first time as she slowly burst out in a full laughter.
"How innocent your reaction is," Phoenix laughed as she settled herself comfortably on the beam cool beam, lying on it as she looked at him in an alluring manner that deepen the blush upon his face.
"T-that is not true!"
"What is?" Phoenix asked him with a playful teasing smile upon her lips as her eyes half closed glancing at him lazily.
"Cat's got your tongue silly kitty?" Phoenix continued to tease him, suddenly finding him much more interesting than he had ever been since the time that they first meet.
"I'm not that innocent," he told her stubbornly lying as he crossed his arms in front of his chest with a pout upon his lips as he half glared at Phoenix as though he had been wronged by her.
"Oh…? Are you able to prove it?" she teased him continuously, now propping her chin upon the back of her right hand as she played with few strand of her hair, glancing over at the still blushing male hero.
Chat Noir was a bit lost, flirting and all is really easy to feign and all, but to act on it, even he is not experienced in it to prove her wrong. And if he were to not do anything about it, it proves what she says about him is true, and yet if he acts on it, she might be able to tell as well, and he fears that too.
Phoenix could not help but smirk at him as her silver purple eyes danced about merrily with silent laughter as Chat Noir stood before her stunned still as he looked at her with a red face.
Closing her eyes, she stretched her body forward before getting on all fours and then onto her knees as she stretched herself feeling the popping of some of her joints.
"You look much better than you did the past few weeks," Phoenix told him with a gentle smile as she stood before of him. "Here's a little reward," she said, placing a small box of unopened chocolates in his hand with a light kiss upon his cheek before disappearing into the night as she fell off the Eiffel Tower backwards and ended up casually walking away from it, taking her time about it.
Chat Noir had not at all expected that and when he realized again of what she had done, it made his heart skipped a beat as it began running a little faster than usual. That Phoenix, she is much bolder and more open these days when it is between them, but with Ladybug around, she can be more reserved and silent, if not staying further away from the two of them as she gave them more time.
Phoenix is a weird one, but it seemed that she had been the one trying to cheer him up lately whenever it is just the two of them. Though the chocolates part, it seemed that even Ladybug got it as well and often tried to refrain from taking it or rejecting it, but it did not bother Phoenix much as she would often just eat it in front of them or share it with him like how they would usually do it.
