Ladybug stared at the mistletoe in Chat Noir's hand. He stood in front of her, a smirk on his face, gripping the thing like his life depended on it.
There was a sinking feeling in Ladybugs stomach. A warning she probably should have listened to. But despite her instinct, she still pressed on.
"What is that for?" she asked.
Chat smirked as he shrugged. "What's what for, My Lady?"
She sighed, rolling her eyes. "Chat Noir, you're going to be put on the naughty list if you keep this up."
"I know you won't believe me," Chat said, "but my alter ego is actually, so there's no way Santa would want to put me on the naughty list."
It was impossible for Ladybug to hold back her laughter any longer. She doubled over, holding her sides as she continued to laugh.
"You?" she yelled, aghast with so much laugher she could barely talk. "An angel? Then what am I?"
Chat winked. "Heaven's lost property. I've come to take you back."
"As great as that sounds, Chat, I'll have to postpone our date for another time. I think I can get back myself."
"Then I'll tell you the secret shortcut to getting back." Chat dangled the mistletoe above his head. "It's to give me a kiss before midnight when the magic wears off."
Ladybug laughed. She placed her hand on her hip and raised her eyebrow. After a few seconds of watching Chat pucker out his lips at her, she gave up with a sigh.
"Merry Christmas, stupid cat."
She brushed her fingers against Chat's neck. He snapped his eyes open at the touch, taking a step back when he found her centimeters from his face. Ladybug smirked and pulled his neck towards her.
Their lips touched. Chat's arms finding their way to her sides. But as soon as he closed his eyes to try to deepen the kiss, Ladybug pulled back. She laughed, flicking on the nose.
"Bad kitty, you only get one present."
Chat smiled, picking up her hand in his own to give a quick kiss to her fingertips.
"Does my other self get a present from the famous superhero then?"
"Maybe if you're a good boy."
Ladybug wiggled the mistletoe between her fingers, smiling as she jumped to the next roof. She turned back just before she was about to jump down and winked at Chat.
A smile spread across his face. Best Christmas ever.
