A memory danced behind her closed eyelids as she fought against another trembling shiver. It felt almost secondhand to remember that so long ago before her boyfriend was her boyfriend that he'd been trapped in a freezer, running the risk of his identity being exposed to her.
Ladybug had it about here with either of them being locked in a freezer as she moved to stand, trying to ignore the steady ticking down of her Miraculous and trying to focus on breathing even and steady and the sounds of the fight right outside the freezer. She could just imagine that Hawkmoth was having a field day with his latest Akuma, an angered anime fan that for some reason or another thought that his family and the world was against him, who may have been a bit more violent than either Ladybug or Cat Noir were prepared to fight against today.
Today was supposed to be a relaxing evening for the two of them, huddling close on the Eiffel Tower, and being lost in just being with each other, hands entwined, pressed close, and sometimes kissing. It was supposed to be a quiet moment that dragged on and on and became something altogether relaxing, something to remember in strings of memories, days lost in a blur of similar ones.
On that note, Ladybug really, really needed to focus though she'd already used her Lucky Charm, and her mind despite running miles upon miles a minute, wasn't really giving her a solution to her problem. All that she could focus on was the cold and the fact that her boyfriend was working hard to even stun the violent Akuma outside, so that he can free her.
"Tikki, just don't transform." She murmured as she shivered violently yet again and ran her gloved hands up and down her arms to try to warm her up and calm her down. Ladybugs weren't known for handling cold particularly well, "Come on, Kitty, just a little longer." A little longer until hopefully the Akuma was out of the way long enough to free her from the confines of the freezer.
"M'lady, he's away for the moment." Cat Noir was quick to assure her before she heard his signature move, "Cataclysm."
All that she felt for a moment was relief as she literally dropped into her arms, eager for the warmth haven that they'd always supplied for her.
"Sorry about that." He apologized as he ran gloved hands up and down her arms to help warm her up, "I should have gotten him away quicker. Do you need me to grab your Kwami something to eat since I don't think she likes Camembert?"
"S-Sure, cookies. Just stay a little longer though, you're warm." His face went delightfully red though she couldn't really admire it all that well while she was still trying to warm her freezing body up.
"Alright. I'll leave before you detransform and get you some cookies. Just let me know if I can look or not." He murmured as he sat down and pulled her closer, trying to hold her close to make her at least a little bit warmer.
"I will. Thank you." She murmured, "How did I wind up with the most trustworthy and loyal partner in the world?"
"I've gotten better. I'm not pawsitively the best though." He smiled as he threaded a stray claw through her hair as she snuggled closer.
"I find it hard to believe that you aren't the best." She muttered sleepily, "I don't fall in love with just anyone you know."
"I feel honored that I've even received that much from you." He snuggled closer, and no matter how long this Akuma battle dragged on, she was just thankful to have the best partner ever to help her get past it.
