Tikki was the only one awake when he finally arrived.
"You found us," she said relieved, landing on his nose.
Plagg scoffed. "Were you hoping I wouldn't?" His tone was sarcastic but she saw that fear was hidden within the depths of his eyes.
"No, of course not," she said softly. "I missed you, Cat."
"You're not afraid of me?"
The bug hummed thoughtfully. "I never knew what to expect exactly, but I've gotten to know you, Plagg. You're a protector. You care about protecting your kittens-"
"And you."
Tikki paused, a pleasant warmth filling her. "And me," she added.
I like to think that Plagg pre-miraculous is very open with his feelings once he gets to know someone compared to the Plagg we see with Adrien who I believe still cares just as much but is more jaded about expressing his care/concern for others. Wonder why...-insert mad scientist laugh-
As always, let me know what you think!
