Hey everyone, well looks like the battles over so time to get back to our couple.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Miraculous Ladybug.
It had been two weeks since the defeat of Autotune and overall everything seemed to be at ease.
Paris was slowly healing from the damage and all the citizens pitched in to rebuild the fallen city.
No more Akuma attacks had taken place which brought a sense of calmness and nervousness at the same time.
However for one girl none of this mattered.
Juleka had been thinking of Nathanael since the day he rescued her, but since then he had not been seen by anyone not even his own parents.
She'd kept on searching, she was more worried than ever that something had happened to him.
It didn't help going to school and seeing his chair empty each day.
Out in the school yard she sat on the steps alone burying her head in her knees.
Rose stepped outside to witness this and stepped down towards her.
It's okay, he'll be back I know it. Rose said trying to comfort her.
He said he loved me, he saved my life. Why would he leave? Juleka cried out.
He probably just needs some time. You saw all this damage he caused, that's a lot to take in. Rose reasoned.
Juleka's tears did not stop but she threw her arms around her friend hugging her.
Thank you. Juleka said.
No problem, and I promise I'm gonna help you find him. Rose said with determination.
Juleka smiled as she knew she could count on Rose.
So where do we start? Rose asked.
I already checked with his parents and all his usual sketching spots. Juleka said.
Hm, well what else do we know about him? Rose questioned.
Well he's into superheroes, he's an amazing artist, he's sweet, kind, sensitive cute…Juleka started to list on while her eyes formed the shape of hearts.
Uh Juleka? Rose said smirking.
What? Juleka snapped out of it embarrassed.
Wow you got it bad. Rose teased. But don't worry he seems similar to you so all we gotta do is figure out where you would go to think about stuff and we find him easy. Rose explained.
Juleka wondered for a minute before she remembered.
The Studio. She whispered.
What? Rose asked.
There's an old abandoned film studio on the edge of town, no one ever goes there so I sneak out all the time. Juleka explained.
Well then we'll start there! Rose said pointing forwards running ahead.
Juleka just laughed thinking.
I'm glad I have help, wherever you are I promise you, you'll be all mine, forever.
Meanwhile…
Nathanael had been hiding out in the abandoned studio the whole time.
Nathanael's inner thoughts:
What have I done? How could I have been such an fool!? Because you love her.
You wanted to protect her but instead you just caused more destruction.
Why can't I remember anything!?I need to know! What did I do!?
Did I hurt her!? I just remember telling her to hide, the dark cloud surrounding me and then blank.
Whatever I did akumatized I can't even recollect. Just my luck.
Whatever happened I'm responsible for, to wake up and see all this destruction knowing you're the cause is something no one should go through.
Worst part is, she probably sees me as nothing but a freak now. How can I face her after putting her through all this torture.
I don't deserve her love, she deserves to be happy.
Still I'll always love her wonderful smile, her kindness, her gorgeous eyes and the way she didn't know how beautiful she was.
He snapped out of it realizing he could list everything amazing about her for hours.
Wait! What's that? Sounds like people! No one ever comes here! Oh no gotta hide!
End thoughts.
He ducks behind a column holding his breath in anxiety.
He peers over to see none other than Rose and Juleka themselves.
Wow, this place has seen better days. Rose says taking in the grungy atmosphere.
Has a certain charm to it. Juleka says causing Nathanael to smile.
She always was strange in a cute way. He thinks.
Doesn't look like anyone's here. Rose says.
Juleka tries to keep a straight face but she can't hold back a few tears and sniffles.
Is she…crying? Nathanael thinks worried.
Juleka please calm down, I know you miss him but you have to be strong, it's what he would want, and when Nathanael comes back he's gonna treat you right.
She misses me, after all I've done? He thinks shocked.
How do you know? Juleka asks.
I know because he had that same look in his eyes that you had for him, you two were made for each other. Rose exclaimed.
Juleka got up and just asked Rose to walk her home.
Nathanael just stood there thinking.
She misses me and she may actually love me?
Maybe it's time I finally had that talk with Rose.
He rushes off into the city heading towards Rose's home.
I hope she's home. He thinks.
He paces down every street, ripping down every corner going faster than he had ever gone before.
He eventually made it to her house by midnight and hoped she'd be awake.
He knocked on the door, no answer.
He knocked again, no answer.
He knocked a third time and no answer.
Nathanael sighed in defeat as he slouched a few steps away before noticing a fire escape.
He had come this far and wouldn't be stopped.
He leapt for the ladder and Pulled it down, hanging on and pulling himself up.
He crawled up slowing using all his strength and as soon as he made it up he rushed up those stairs as quick as he could to the top window.
He peered in to see Rose inside sleeping.
He knocks on the window whispering.
Rose?...Rose?...Rose?
Rose's eyes shoot open as she looks over to her window to see him.
She lets out a small scream but quickly covers her mouth.
She runs over to the window opening it and letting him in.
Nathanael? What are you doing here? She whispers.
He looks straight through her ready to speak.
…We need to talk
