Hello everyone and welcome to the finale of Shy Romance!
Disclaimer: I do not own Miraculous Ladybug or the Characters.
…We need to talk.
Well this should be interesting considering you show up like a creep outside my window in the middle of the night. Rose said amused.
It's about Juleka. Nathanael said.
Rose's grin quickly faded.
You know you hurt her with your little disappearing act. Rose pointed out.
I know but, you must understand that I couldn't face her after being akumatized. Nathanael retorted.
I did, there were no hard feelings whatsoever, you have no excuse for leaving! Rose stated starting to get angry.
I erased most of the city and from what I know I put her in even more danger. He said trying to reason with her.
First of all she told me how you helped her escape, no one would do that for anyone unless they really cared for that person. She said hinting.
I'll tease you about that later, second of all you told her you loved her and then saved her life! I don't know why you're leading her on like this but it's definitely not cool! She said pushing her finger to his chest.
Nathanael moving her hand away wondered what exactly was she talking about.
What do you mean I saved her life? Plus I definitely don't remember confessing. He said.
Wait…you really don't remember anything? She asked.
No after the ballroom all the memories I had as Evillustrator were long gone. He explained.
Oh, I thought maybe since you snapped out of it you would remember something. She said with her anger fading.
I'm sorry I snapped at you. Rose apologized.
It's alright, I understand, it really was a mistake trying to run and hide. He said.
But what's this about me saving her? He asked.
Rose smiled and picked up her phone handing it to Nathanael.
Check out the latest Ladyblog post. She said trying to hold back her laughter.
He clicked on the video link titled, Villain Turned Hero Falls for Captive.
The video started from inside a holding cell where it appears Alya was filming the duel between Ladybug and Autotune. But she wasn't alone, Juleka was in the cell with her.
The video went on until finally the rush came as the cell dropped with the camera capturing all the tumbling footage.
But out of the corner he saw something.
It was him as Evillustrator drawing something.
Suddenly the capsule came to a stop as it landed on cushions.
He saw himself leap onto the capsule and help them out.
What he saw next surprised him more than anything.
Juleka had pulled him into a kiss!
His face immediately went red.
What! His mind shouted.
He then saw himself leap off to help Ladybug and eventually witnessed the restoration.
The video ended and as he put the phone down and tried to speak but no words came out.
You didn't just save her, you helped save all of Paris. Rose told him.
Nathanael was still speechless.
I saved her! She kissed me! She loves me too! Yes!
Nathanael ecstatic almost did a backflip but tripped on his own feet.
I take it you're happy. Rose said giggling.
Never felt better. He said not even trying to hide his excitement.
Well you know there is one person who would probably love to hear that. Rose said obviously talking about Juleka.
Nathanael shuddered.
Oh no, how am I gonna face her after all this? He asked himself.
Well it just so happens that I never cancelled my party and she's gonna be there so I bet it would be great if the new hero in Paris just so happens to show up. She not so subtilely hinted.
Nathanael blushed, he just helped out but he didn't think he was anywhere near a hero.
Sure. He agreed.
Great! It's on Saturday, show up at 5 and don't be late. She said.
He smiled as he exited out the window.
Goodnight Rose and thank you, for everything. He said.
Don't mention it, just do me one favor. She said.
What's that? He asked.
Let me plan your wedding! She joyfully said.
Nathanael's blush grew intense.
G-goodnight R-Rose. He stuttered out as he left.
Rose returned to her bed and laid her head down drifting off to sleep.
They're so meant to be. She thought blissfully.
Friday.
Rose had invited Juleka over to tell her something important, Juleka wasn't sure what it was, but the way she sounded on the phone she knew it was big.
Juleka went up to Rose's room to find she was ready to pounce on her.
Ahhh! Rose screamed fangirling.
What's up?! Juleka asked freaked.
Guess who showed up last night! Rose shouted still excited.
Prince Ali? Juleka asked.
Okay part of me wishes that was true but no. Rose said.
Ladybug and Chat Noir? Juleka tried again.
No. Rose said.
I give up. Juleka said just wanting to know.
Nathanael! Rose shouted out loud.
Juleka's eyes widened as she gripped Rose's shoulders and shook her back and forth.
Where was he?! Is he okay?! How's he feeling?! Does he miss me?! Does he still like me?!
She rambled on.
Rose pushed Juleka's arms out.
Juleka calm down! Rose yells getting thru to her.
If you need to know he's fine, he actually stopped by to talk about you. Rose told her.
What did he say? Juleka asks.
He just told me how he couldn't face you after he was akumatized. Rose told her.
But he loved me, he saved my life. Juleka said.
He didn't remember any of it. Rose explained.
Juleka's heart sank at the thought of her never being in his arms again.
That is until I showed him the video oh him saving you and all of Paris.
Juleka perked up.
There's still a chance! Her mind shouted.
Granted he still doesn't remember confessing but that's all gonna change soon. Rose said smiling.
What do you mean? Juleka asked.
He's coming to the party on Tomorrow! Rose says leaping into the air.
Juleka just stares at her in shock.
He's… gonna… be… there? She manages to get out.
Rose tries to comfort her friend.
Don't worry, everything will be fine, you two have been through so much and you've already confessed once, with a little help you'll be a full fledge couple in no time.
Do you really think so? Juleka asks for reassurance.
I know so, and I can help out with that for one small favor. Rose says.
What's that? Juleka asks.
Let me plan your wedding! Rose shouts.
Juleka blushed and goes to walk out the door.
S-see y-you t-tomorrow R-Rose. Juleka stuttered out.
Funny Nathanael had the same reaction. Rose says heading out the door.
Hey, I'll settle for Maid of Honor! Rose shouted teasing her.
Rose goes back in her room to think on her party and the couple to be.
This is gonna be fun!
Saturday-Downtown Ballroom.
The party had been going great, everyone seemed to be having a good time.
However two people seemed to be on edge, Rose and Juleka.
Nathanael was already an hour late and no one had seen any sign of him.
What people didn't know was when he finally returned home there was still the issue of his parents.
Nathanael's House.
Where have you been! His father shouted.
Just trying to sort things out. Nathanael said in a timid voice.
Yeah I'm sure. His mother said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
What's that supposed to mean? Nathanael shot back.
Watch your mouth kid! His father hissed.
We know all about you becoming that Evillustrator guy again whatever it is. His mother said.
Think it's fun don't you? Causing people that much pain. You were always a freak but I didn't think you were that messed up. His father said.
Nathanael started to get angry, how dare he say that about him, he wouldn't even hurt a fly.
You know I had no choice! I would never hurt anyone! Nathanael tried to tell them.
Whatever, point is you're not leaving this house again. You've always been a nuisance, but now you're a threat, a mistake we have to take care of. His mother pointed out.
Nathanael couldn't believe what he was hearing, his parents weren't supportive that was a given, but his own mother calling him a mistake, what do you say to that?
What's wrong you gonna cry? Go on, go to bed and cry yourself to sleep, you got nothing better to do. His dad taunted.
A tear fell from his eye as he headed upstairs.
He laid there thinking about Juleka and how disappointed she would be when he didn't show up.
I'm not screwing up, not again. She needs me and I need her and I'm not gonna let her down again. He thought.
He leaped from his bed grabbing a suitcase, placing all his artworks and supplies inside and headed downstairs to confront his parents one last time.
What's all this kid? His father questioned.
I'm leaving, I don't care what happens to me, but I have somewhere to be and this is one mistake you won't have to worry about. Nathanael said standing tall.
What you mean that "girlfriend" of yours? His mother asked sarcastically.
Nathanael looked at them shocked.
We saw the video of your little hero act, nice try acting all nice to get into that purple haired bitches pants. His dad said.
Nathanael couldn't take it anymore and snapped, he rushed up punching his father square in the jaw then landing another punch to his gut.
Don't you ever call her that again! Nathanael shouted in rage.
Nathanael stormed towards the door.
You walk out that door, you're never allowed back! His mother shouted.
I'm not coming back. Nathanael shot back as he walked out the door and headed for the ballroom.
Back at the Ballroom-10PM
Everyone started to leave and head home, the only two left of course being Rose and Juleka.
Where is he? They both thought.
Juleka stood up and began to walk away.
I should've known he wasn't coming. Juleka sighed.
Don't say that! He probably just doing this for…dramatic effect. Rose tried to convince her.
Suddenly the front doors burst open to reveal Nathanael standing there suitcase in hand.
Told you. Rose sighed in relief.
Rose exited the room to give them some time alone.
Nathanael walks over to Juleka .
Sorry I'm late, family drama. He says almost frowning.
It's alright. What's with the suitcase? She asks.
I may have been pushed to far and, you know decided to leave home. He said
What?! But why?! Juleka asked stunned.
Have you ever felt unloved? Nathanael asks.
Juleka just stares not knowing what to say.
My parents have never been the most caring but I always thought they at least loved me for who I was. But now I see I was wrong, I'm not what they wanted.
Juleka couldn't take it anymore, she wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace trying to comfort him.
But you changed that Juleka. He said.
Juleka looks into his eyes.
You're the only one who saw who I really was and accepted me for who I am.
Juleka blushed trying to get her words out.
It was the same for me, besides Rose, no one ever took the time to see me and love me for me.
Well then I make you this promise, I swear to be loyal to you, to love you and to cherish you for the rest of my life.
Juleka smiled swearing her loyalty and love to him as well.
I swear to remain by your side no matter what, to be there through the tough times and to always love you for the rest of my life.
They embraced each other once more, looking into each other's eyes seeing a whole new beginning ahead of them, they slowly leaned in for their first kiss as a couple.
The kiss felt stronger than ever before, passion filled their hearts as they went on.
They broke the kiss when music started to play through the loudspeakers.
It was the same song they had slow danced to before.
May I have this dance? Nathanael asks.
It would be my pleasure. Juleka says.
They remained in each other's arms for the rest of the night, neither one of them wanting this moment to end.
They knew they had found something special and they knew they would hold onto it forever.
The End.
Well I hope you all enjoyed Shy Romance.
It was a lot of fun supporting this pairing and creating this story.
I have more fanfics on the way, and I may even do a sequel one day.
Until then I'll see you all later and I hope you have an amazing day.
