He should have expected it, given how long they'd been together, and the fact that she never wore her hair in pig tails anymore, just having not seen her as Ladybug in so long, had given him no warning whatsoever. Cat Noir had always thought that the spots looked amazing on her, even if she wore outfits inspired off her old suit rather then always transforming.
Her dark hair was pulled up into a loose seeming bun, and her suit was a little darker, slimmer along her sides, making her seem taller and thinner. "M'Lady, you look stunning." His green eyes found her dark blue ones; eyes that could melt his heart in just a look even after all these years.
"I do?" Ladybug shook her head, "Honey, I've had three kids since I last transformed, you sure?" The slightly sarcastic retort made him smile.
"I'm pawsitive." Cat Noir grinned.
"Don't you start with the puns, mister." She grumbled, but yet he could see the slight upturning of her lips, knew it well; she never could hide it from him after all this time. She may not laugh outright at his puns usually, but she still liked them well enough.
"You should check your suit out later. It's changed, M'lady." Cat Noir pointed out.
"It has? Well, you've lost the bell." She retorted, and he grinned. He'd miss that old bell, but then again, he didn't need it anymore to claim that he had a home to go back to. Cat Noir had three kids and a very beautiful wife, inside and out to go home to, no longer did he have a mostly empty mansion to return to.
"All I ever needed was you, Bugaboo." He grinned as he leaned by her side, "Ready to take on this crime that Paris managed to find yet again?"
"Always when you're here with me, Kitty." She smiled.
