Chapter 38

Sylvia sat on her bed while playing with a strand of her hair and her green eyes looked down at her songbook. She was busy writing a new song that came to her mind and she had a small smile on her lips as she continued.

The television softly talked in the background but Sylvia was too busy concentrating on the song. She bit her bottom lip when she reached a block and glanced around. Something that could rhyme with...

"Today, the famous teen Superstar, Sylvia Chevalier, made public that she was in a relationship with a boy named, Nathanaël. They were spotted kissing at the Art Gallery of the Louvre. What will become of this new relationship...?"

Sylvia's green eyes looked at the television screen as the reporter told the news. She saw the picture of her and Nathanaël kissing in the right upper corner of the screen. A small blush came onto her lips but she rolled her eyes.

It would only be a matter of time before they found out. Luckily, they didn't notice them when they went on a date together and she had an idea that they were too busy with the akumatized villain than her little date with the artist.

Sylvia reached for the television remote and put it off. She twirled the remote in-between her fingers and put it back on the cupboard next to her bed. She only put it on so the room wouldn't be so quiet but now she needed to concentrate on her song.

There was a sudden strong draft coming in from the balcony and the ringing of a bell reached Sylvia's ears. "Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in" Sylvia said with a smile just as Chat landed on her balcony and he blinked in surprise. She heard him coming? She had good hearing.

"Actually, no cat dragged this cat here. I came here all on my own!" Chat stated proudly while holding his head high and Sylvia chuckled. She closed her book, knowing that she wouldn't get to write anything further with him here, and put it on her cupboard next to the remote.

"Either way, I'm glad you came to visit, Chat. How was your day? Was there another attack?" Sylvia asked as Chat walked inside the room and he stared at her. Sylvia raised an eyebrow in confusion and Chat smirked.

"You know, if you call me Chat then it's only fair that I call you Shade" Chat said and Sylvia's eyes widened making him laugh. "Just messing with you! No, Hawkmoth was actually quiet today and so far, there aren't any attacks tonight either. But I'm still tired"

Sylvia watched in amusement as the male fell face first onto the bed and she reached out to ruffle his hair. "Rest a while. I'm sure that Plagg would want some sleeping time too. I'll order some Camembert" Sylvia said and Chat gave her a small smile.

"Thanks, Sylvy. You're the best!" Sylvia laughed and walked towards the door. She switched on the intercom inside her room and ordered the cheese for the small black Kwami. She had an idea that he was going to be hungry.

Adrien changed back into his normal clothing and Plagg flew out of his ring. The kwami whined as he went to lay down onto the bed and pouted. "Argh, the exhaustion! I'm so famished I don't know if I can move a muscle!" Plagg dramatically stated.

"It's good to see you too, Plagg" Sylvia playfully stated and the small creature glanced back at the blonde. "Don't worry, your cheese is on its way" Just as Sylvia pointed at the door, there was a knock and she went to answer it.

"That was fast. The service in this place never seems to amaze me," Adrien said and Sylvia closed the door behind her before she served Plagg. Adrien made a gagging motion at the terrible smell but Sylvia seemed to be indifferent towards it.

"You're a lifesaver!"

Sylvia laughed at the black kwami as he hastily ate the Camembert in fear that it would vanish. Adrien chuckled and merely shook his head. "Something tells me this is going to start to become something regular," Adrien said and Sylvia shrugged.

"I don't mind it if you come by often. Besides, it's not only Plagg that can rest, you can relax too before you go home" Sylvia pointed out and Adrien grinned tiredly at her. Sylvia gave him a warm smile back before her eyes traveled towards the bracelet around his wrist. He still wore it proudly.

"This is nice" Adrien said and Sylvia glanced back at him. "I have my big sis back but not only that, you're Shade as well. I wouldn't want anyone else to be Shade or keep our secret. I know that I can trust you"

Sylvia snickered and ruffled the boy's hair making him yelp. "Just know there's no way I'm ever telling anyone! And that means that you won't get to know who Ladybug is either" Sylvia stuck out her tongue playfully but Adrien smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll find that out on my own. Someday, I'm going to find out who she is and I'm not going to let her go. Moreover, you already gave me a clue in your song. I know that she's in school so all I have to do is figure out who she is" Adrien smirked and Sylvia laughed sheepishly.

"Oops." Sylvia rubbed the back of her head in an innocent gesture. "At least I know that once you two find each other, you'll both find your loved ones. However, it will put you both in danger too. Especially since Hawkmoth will find your true identities too" Sylvia frowned.

"You're right, but that means we only have to find him faster." Adrien determinedly stated and Sylvia gave him a small smile despite a gleam of sadness that passed through her green eyes. She felt a hollow feeling inter her heart again and she unconsciously played with Adrien's hair.

She didn't know what he would do if he found out who Hawkmoth really was. She had a feeling that it would cause great despair for her little brother and wanted to keep him from feeling the hate she currently felt. She just didn't know how to do so.

"That reminds me, Plagg told me that you can hear Hawkmoth's voice every time he akumatizes a new victim. When did that start and why didn't you tell me earlier?" Adrien asked with a small frown of his own and Sylvia snapped out of her haze.

"Oh that... It kind of happened spontaneously. I didn't think that it was important and decided against telling you. You had so much going on anyways and I don't hear his voice the entire time. Only occasionally. There's nothing to worry about" Sylvia said but Adrien wasn't convinced.

"Is that why you had so many nightmares too?" Sylvia's eyes briefly widened and she looked away with a guilty expression over her face. "Sylvy, you need to tell me these things. I want to know what's going on and I want to be part of your life," Adrien said and Sylvia nodded.

"I promise that I'll tell you everything that you need to know. I already promised Ladybug that too and I think it can help a lot if I hear his voice. I can warn you when he has a new victim" Sylvia said and Adrien grunted.

"That can help but I'd prefer it if you didn't get involved. You could get hurt and I don't want that. You were dragged into the fight twice already and I don't want you to be in danger," Adrien said and Sylvia giggled.

"Would you look at that? Little brother is protective over older sister. That's a new one," Sylvia teased and Adrien blushed. "I doubt that Hawkmoth would try anything with me. He's in the same danger as you and Ladybug."

Adrien gave Sylvia a baffled expression, not knowing what she meant by her words and Sylvia shook her head. It was better that Adrien didn't know the meaning behind her words. All he needed to know is that Sylvia would be fine, or so she believed.

Adrien lay his head down next to Sylvia as she continued to play with his hair and a nostalgic feeling washed over both of them. "We used to do this when you were little and couldn't sleep at night," Sylvia said and Adrien smiled.

"Yeah, I remember. I would sneak into your room and under your covers. You would pretend to sleep and wrap an arm around me," Adrien said and Sylvia laughed. So he did know that she pretended to sleep.

"Looks like my little secret is out" Sylvia said and let out a sigh. "But things are different now. Usually, you would play with my hair and then trail your fingers over my scar. Now I'm playing with your hair" Sylvia trailed her own finger over the scar on her forehead and Adrien grinned.

"I like it this way" Adrien stated and Sylvia rolled her eyes. Of course he did. The silver locket around Sylvia's neck caught Adrien's attention and he grabbed it. He silently clicked it open to reveal two pictures and stared at them. "I still miss her you know" Adrien softly murmured.

"Yeah, me too, but I know that despite not being here with us, she's in here" Sylvia poked Adrien in his chest where his heart is and he nodded. He trailed his finger over the picture and stared at it for a few moments before he closed it again.

"Phew! That was delicious!" Plagg exclaimed as he let out a satisfied sigh. He sat back while rubbing his stomach and he had a wide grin on his face. Sylvia and Adrien looked back at the black kwami and laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh all you want! I got my own laughs in when this guy played amnesia," Plagg sarcastically stated and Adrien gave him a small glare. "What? At least you two can finally be together as family"

"Thank you, Plagg. I guess I owe you more Camembert," Sylvia said and the black kwami gave her a wide grin. Adrien gave her a look to tell her not to encourage his eating habits but Sylvia merely smiled.

Sylvia's phone suddenly went off and the blonde raised an eyebrow. She reached for the phone while sitting up and Adrien whined at the sudden loss of heat. Sylvia checked her messages and sweat dropped.

"Hey, Ladybug says there are reports of an akuma attack at the Louvre and she wants to see you there in five" Sylvia said and Adrien's eyes widened while Plagg groaned. Sylvia laughed and put down her phone.

"Come on, lazy kitties!"

"Alright... Plagg, claws out!" Adrien exclaimed and Plagg yelped before he was sucked inside the miraculous. Sylvia watched in amazement as Adrien transformed and noted that it was the first time that she saw him transform.

Meanwhile...

"I'm glad that Sylvia decided to stay here in Paris. You can never go wrong with the city of love!" Julien dramatically stated while holding his wine glass filled with red wine. Hwang rolled his eyes while Petrovna ignored him and continued to pain his nails.

"I agree, Julien. I'm glad that Sylvy's staying here" Léon stated, busy cleaning his baton and briefly stopped when he thought about Julien's words again. "But you know for the city of love I haven't had any luck"

"Léon, have you ever tried to go talk to this mysterious girl you keep fawning over?" Petrovna asked and Léon sadly shook his head. "Exactly. She cannot smell that you like her. How do you expect to come far if you won't even tell her?"

"It's complicated! She only appeared once and I haven't seen her since. No one has seen her ever since and I've been trying to find her for a long time now!" Léon pointed out and let out a heavy sighed while letting his shoulders slumped.

"You said Sylvia knows about girl? Why don't you go and ask her if she knows where mystery girl is" Hwang suggested and Léon's eyes widened. He had a point! Léon knew that Sylvia was friends with Chat Noir and Ladybug and that could mean that she knew where Shade was.

"That's a great idea, Hwang! I'm going to ask her right now!" Léon jumped up and stormed out of the room. Petrovna merely snorted, looked at her nails and then continued to paint them. Hwang blinked a few times before he shrugged it off and Julien grinned.

"See? City of love!" They groaned.

Inside Sylvia's room...

"Yosh! I guess I need to go help M'Lady before the night ends in a cat-astrophe" Chat said as he stretched out and Sylvia snickered. Adrien was barely transformed into Chat Noir and he was already busy making puns.

"You and your cat puns... What am I going to do with you?" Sylvia said and shook her head in playful disapproval. Chat gave her a wide toothy grin and Sylvia smiled warmly back at him. "Well, you better to check things out"

"Yeah, I don't want an angry Bugaboo tonight" Chat said and Sylvia burst out laughing. Bugaboo? What a strange and funny name for Ladybug. Chat rolled his eyes at Sylvia's amusement but couldn't help the small smile that came onto his lips.

"Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow, Sylvy"

Sylvia wiped the tears away and nodded at him. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, Chat. Keep safe and don't get yourself into any trouble," Sylvia said and Chat made a fake face of hurt. He would never get into trouble! He grinned at her and nodded.

"I promise I won't" Chat said and turned to leave but glanced back at Sylvia. He hugged her and the girl's eyes widened at his sudden gesture. "Thanks for everything, Shade. Thanks for waiting for me and know, I love you"

Sylvia's eyes widened at his words and unknown to her, the person behind the door's eyes also widened. Sylvia hugged him back and resisted the tears that wanted to fall. "I'll always wait for you, Chat. I love you too" She said and broke the embrace.

Chat grinned at her and gave her a wave before he ran towards the balcony. "See you, Sylvy!" Sylvia waved at the male as he leaped out of her balcony and let out a sigh. She walked back to her bed and flopped onto it, her eyes falling closed and a small smile forming onto her lips.

"Silly kitty..."

Outside her room...

Léon stood frozen in place, his eyes wide and his body quivering slightly. He had heard it right, he was sure that he didn't mishear anything. Sylvia... Sylvia was Shade. She had been Shade from the beginning. That meant he fell in love with Sylvia without even noticing it.

However, instead of finding joy in the news, he only found a broken heart and the feeling of despair clutched him. Chat Noir loved her, and she loved Chat Noir. He wasn't even in the picture and Sylvia even knew about his crush on her. She was in love with that alley cat.

"The feeling of betrayal and a broken heart, such a shame. Jealously can turn into the creates hatred and the perfect villain. Fly away my little Akuma and evillize him!" Hawkmoth's voice echoed but Sylvia was fast asleep, unaware of the villain that was created.

"Hello, Dark Commandant, I am Hawkmoth. Once you get rid of Chat Noir, you can have your beloved Shade all to yourself. However, I'm going to need something in return when the time comes" Hawkmoth beckoned and Léon darkly smirked.

"Let the performance begin"
