Day 21: Trusting
Ladybug slammed her fists against the walls.
"How could we be so stupid?!" she angrily said. "We should have known it was a trap!"
At the other side of the room, Chat Noir was also trying to find a way out. Cataclysm and Lucky Charm had already been used, and both heroes were facing the prospect of having a reveal at the hands of an Akuma.
BEEP! BEEP!
"We only got two minutes left" Chat Noir said, looking at his ring with worry. A heavy sigh brought his attention. Ladybug had sat on the floor, arms hugging her knees.
"I didn't want this to happen" she said.
"I know, My Lady, but I guess it was bound to happen eventually" Chat Noir replied as he made his way to her. He sat beside her.
"I know that, Chat Noir" Ladybug said softly, "But I actually meant… I didn't want this to happen this way: locked in a room by an Akuma, without any means to escape…"
Chat's eyes widened in realization at her words.
BEEP! BEEP!
"You mean… you mean you wanted to show- want to tell me…?" he asked surprised while also attempting not to sound too excited. Ladybug looked at him, a fond smile on her lips.
"Yeah… I trust you, and I talked about it with my Kwami… and she agreed" she said. "But I'm a bit scared, to be honest" she admitted, letting out a nervous chuckle, which Chat Noir soon imitated.
"I tell you what: let's close our eyes, count to three…. and well… be surprised" he proposed, taking her hands. She grasped them tightly, and nodded, closing her eyes; Chat Noir took a deep breath before closing his.
BEEP! BEEP!
The suits disappeared, and Adrien found himself holding soft and petit hands.
"One…" Ladybug's voice rang on his ears.
"Two…" he followed, doing everything in his power not to peek.
"Three"
And they opened their eyes.
AN: Hope you enjoyed my take on a reveal... since we are still waiting for the real thing.
