Chapter 19: Cat Blanc

Arthur watched him go, and that was when he let the tears flow freely down his cheeks. He wiped them with the back of his gloved hand before going back home.

The next morning he awoke to loud knocking on his door. "Not now Francis." He groaned. He'd cried himself to sleep last night, and didn't really feel like a fashion shoot.

"Yo eyebrows! Wake up!" It was Gilbert. Arthur got up and opened the door. "Eyebrows, you look terrible." Gilbert said, taking in his bloodshot eyes and ruffled blond hair.

"What do you want?" The English-Parisian scowled.

"The spell, take it off me!"

"Ah right."Arthur let Gilbert in and searched for his spellbook. "Why are you here so early?" It was 8 a.m. on a Saturday.

"Because I just thought about it! I was going to ask you last night but Ladybug took me home so fast I didn't get a chance to."

Arthur opened his drawer and pulled out his spellbook. "Alright the quicker we do this, the faster you'll leave right?"

"You sure you don't want to talk about why you look like a train wreck more so than usual?"

"No. I want you to leave."

"Alright cranky pants." Arthur flipped through the book, he found the reverse incantation for the love spell.

After Arthur read it, Gilbert scrolled through his photos. "Yeah it worked Eyebrows, I'm not head over heels for Cat Noir anymore." Arthur walked down stairs, over to the door, and opened it.

"Good, now get out."

"Fine I'm going to Vargas' Pizzaria for a slice." He said going down the stairs.

"They're not open on Saturdays."

"Scheisse! Ahh no worries, I'll just get Feliciano to make me a pizza at his house." Gilbert said before heading out the door.

"Fantastic." Arthur deadpanned.

Later, Arthur adorned his Cat Noir suit. This was a Cat Noir problem so he could only tell his confidant, Kiku.

Arthur arrived on Kiku's rooftop and knocked on the door leading to his room. The door creaked open just a crack. He could see the brown eye of the Japanese-Parisian. "Kuro Neko?"

"Am I disturbing you? I apologize, do you have a minute?"

The other boy hesitated before he said, "No, I'm busy. I can't talk now." Busy? Well the boy has a life of his own, he can't be expected to be available at a moment's notice.

"Is it a project? Could I be of assistance?"

Maybe I could help, do something to get my mind off of Ladybug.

"No. It's something I'm doing with my Otosan, take care neko." Kiku said and quickly closed the door.

Arthur leaned against the door and slid down toward the floor. Arthur felt tears well up in his eyes again. He needed a shoulder to cry on, he needed Kiku.

"Schwarze Katze you're heartbroken by Ladybug and no one will lend you an ear."

"Hawkmoth!" Arthur covered his ears. "I'm inside your mind dummkopf! You can't escape."

Arthur shook his head, he can't–. He tried to fight off the Akuma but it was too late.

"Now rise Weiße Katze! Make Ladybug feel your pain by seizing his miraculous!"

Arthur got up, suit now pure white, "Yes Hawkmoth!"

Arthur ran off of Kiku's roof and used his baton to propel him to Alfred's apartment. He'd hit Ladybug where it hurt.

000000000000

Arthur arrived at Alfred's apartment. He walked up the stairs to the second floor. Arthur knocked on the door. "Oh Alfred, are you in?" The door opened to a slightly skeptical Alfred.

"Cat Noir? What's going on at this time of morning? You in for an interview? " Alfred, always a bit slow to read the atmosphere, did not question his suit. The blond rubbed his eyes, clearing them from the haze of sleep.

"Ah you could say that." Arthur said going into the apartment.

"Well you could take a seat, I need my coffee fix before we get to the interview." Alfred said, going into his kitchen, and putting water in the coffee maker.

Arthur crept into the blond's room, grabbing socks and a few t-shirts that were lying around. "Alfred, where's your brother?" He asked outside of the kitchen's doorway, items behind his back.

"Oh Mattie? He's with Ivan. His sister isn't in love with him anymore so he was allowed to sleep over. Got the crib to myself until my folks get off work." Alfred said, waiting for the coffee to drain into the coffee pot. His back was turned.

Arthur crept up to him, the blond did not stir until he was right behind him. "Why so close dude? You want some coffee, it's–." Arthur stuffed the balled up socks into Alfred's mouth. Alfred's eyes widened, Arthur trapped Alfred between himself and the counter, pressing the other boy's back into the counter's edge with his own hips. "No coffee, you'll do just fine." Arthur took Alfred's wrists and tied them together with the t-shirt. Arthur gripped Alfred's forearm and threw him on the floor. Alfred spit out the socks, and sent an uncoordinated kick to Arthur's ankle. "What the hell Cat Noir?!"

"You tosser!" Arthur kicked Alfred in the back. The other boy groaned. Arthur kneeled down to tie Alfred's ankles together. "It's Cat Blanc to you."

Arthur fastened the gag around his mouth with another t-shirt. He hoisted Alfred over his shoulder. "We've got to make a spectacle out of this so Ladybug and onlookers will come. You're not afraid of heights are you Alfred?" He chuckled in cruel delight.

They were at the top of the Eiffel tower. Arthur slid his baton in between Alfred's binds and set it on the ground of the ledge. Alfred, shivered, staring at the ground below. His foot kept it balanced.

"Ahh I've got it now." Luckily for him, Alfred didn't have a password on his phone. Arthur held up the camera, and streamed it live to HetaTube. "Sorry to disappoint, Ladyblog fans, I'm not your idiotic, frontman Alfred. He's a bit tied up at the moment." Arthur panned the camera to Alfred who was sniffling. "I, Cat Blanc, will drop your precious frontman unless Ladybug gives me his miraculous!"

Ladybug arrived on the ledge, shortly after. "Be careful Ladybug, if I move my foot, he'll fall." Ladybug shifted his eyes to Alfred who had his shut tight and was praying to whatever deity would hear him. Arthur met Ladybug's brown eyes.

"I'm sorry Cat Noir. I didn't mean to hurt you."

"You don't love me, I know! Now give up your miraculous!" Arthur watched as Ladybug approached him. They were face to face. Ladybug undid his first earring. Arthur held out his hand. "It's funny how you'll give up your power for this so-called fan."

"I've lost my partner. What else can I do?" Ladybug said undoing the other. "You're pathetic." Arthur sneered. How low could Ladybug get? A crowd formed below.

Ladybug gripped his wrist, pulling him closer. "Cat Noir I miss you." Those chocolate pools held a sadness that Arthur could not place. It was more than just a parting friend. It was as if a loved one was gone. Regret gripped his heart. Ladybug leaned toward Arthur, capturing his lips in a kiss. Ladybug shifted Arthur's weight off of the baton and put his own. Once Ladybug let him go, he blinked and realised the hero had tricked him. Arthur dove forward. Ladybug kneed him in the face. Arthur covered his nose. Ladybug bent down to grab the baton, and then Arthur came up behind Ladybug.

"He's too heavy without your super strength." Ladybug couldn't pull him up.

"Bring me the miraculous!" Hawkmoth said. Patience, I've got to hold up my end as well. "You're lucky I'm nice."

Arthur pulled the pole upward, Ladybug let go. Alfred was parallel to the Eiffel Tower. He retracted the baton. He was about to untangle it from Alfred's binds when he was jerked backwards. Arthur fumbled, dropping his baton.

Arthur turned to see Ladybug on the edge, arms locked around his midsection. Ladybug jumped, bringing him down with him. Ladybug tore off his mask, before letting him go and sliced it with his katana. "Bloody hell are you crazy?!" Arthur grabbed Ladybug's clip, grabbed Ladybug and hurriedly lowered them both down safely.

The Akuma escaped. Ladybug caught the Akuma as soon as they were on the ground. Upon realising he didn't have on his mask, Arthur covered his eyes. The sounds of cheers could be heard.

Where is my mask? What happened?

Ladybug grabbed Arthur, now Cat Noir, and they went back up the Eiffel Tower. Arthur kept his eyes covered. "Dude! Epic!" Alfred said, and he felt him grabbing his phone from Arthur's pocket. "Do you need to be taken home Alfred?" Ladybug asked.

"Nope, I'm totally gonna do some more filming! Say cheese Ladybug and Cat Noir!" Arthur frowned, still in the dark. He must've gotten akumatized.

"Ok, Cat Noir and I are leaving." He felt Ladybug grab his waist before they were airborne again.

Arthur felt Ladybug's hands on his shoulders. "Ok you can uncover your eyes."

"B-but you'll see who I am."

"Won't your wand fix that?"

Well the wand was iffy on what it wanted to fix. But technically my revealed identity was a consequence of the Akumanization. If not I could always use a spell on Ladybug later.

Arthur removed his hands. They were in an alleyway. Ladybug gasped. It was astonishing; the mask, plus the wig and contacts made him unrecognizable, but only without the mask people recognized him instantly. "Y-you're–."

"Hand me my baton and mask Ladybug." He was direct, he could already imagine the thoughts going through Ladybug's head and he wanted it to be over. Fashion model Arthur Kirkland? I can't believe he's so lewd! He's just a big pervert like his stepfather! I thought he was so nice and innocent! How could I ever love someone like that?

"Ladybug?" Arthur noticed the other hero still held onto his mask, still ripped ,not handing either of them back. Ladybug put his hands on each side of his head.

"This can't be possible! I must be in some kind of nightmare!" Ladybug shook his head, covering his face with hands.

"All this time I've–!" Ladybug cut himself off to look him in the eye.

Arthur clenched his fists. "You know it's all very comforting watching you have a mental breakdown after you broke my heart, further solidifying your disgust with me." Arthur walked forward, grabbed the mask out of Ladybug's pocket and his baton and put the mask on.

Arthur took out his wand. "A-Arthur wait I–."

"It's better this way Ladybug, at least you won't have to be further disappointed." Ladybug grabbed his wrist with the hand holding the wand, "Ladybug?" Ladybug makes a grab for his wand.

"I don't want to forget!" Ladybug said. Arthur pulled away. Arthur felt his eyes cloud with tears, as Ladybug tacked him to the ground. Arthur felt sick to his stomach as tears ran down his cheeks. Ladybug had him pinned. "Please. I can't take anymore rejection from you. It's just too much." He said.

Ladybug gave him what he assumed was a look of pity before he relented, lessening his grip on him.

Arthur turned away from him before he said. "HOTA!" Bathing the city in white light.

000000000000000

Arthur awoke to Ladybug straddling him. "What happened?" He asked the bug-themed superhero.

"You got akumatized. It's on Alfred's vlog if you want to see for yourself." Fuck.

"Were you restraining me?"

"I guess so." Ladybug said with a blank expression. "Neko, what am I to do with you?" Ladybug asked, placing a delicate hand on his cheek.

Arthur smiled at him. "You won't have to worry about that anymore. I'm in tip top shape now Ladybug. I do wish you the best with your love interest." Ladybug got up, and so did he.

"I'm glad you're back to normal. I missed you." With that Ladybug swung away.

Hmm why did that feel familiar?
