December 9th, gift number 9 :
"I'm not sure what's coming next requires an explanation from me. I just hope it warms your heart and makes you feel loved and important. You deserve it, Ma lady. Your kitty, for who you're very important. "
This little note was written on a white post-it with small pink hearts that was glued directly on the lid of a completely red box, 30x30 cm, relatively heavy and seemed well filled. She carefully lifted the lid of the box and was surprised to discover a mountain of drawings inside. Drawings of her, of Chat Noir and her, of Rena Rouge and her, with the other heroes and even drawings where she was kicking ass of Hawkmoth... Drawings made with felt, pencils, pastels and even paint. Designs decorated with sequins and stickers in the shape of ladybugs or catpaws.
Chat Noir had gathered in this box the drawings of about fifty children, it was simply incredible! She could read small words full of misspellings but incredibly cute and sincere. There was a multitude of "Ladybug, I love you" or "you're the best".
There were also many, really many drawings where Chat Noir and she held hands, kissed, seemed in love... these drawings were mostly decorated with a multitude of small hearts.
So that's how the kids looked at them? Love? Couple?
It was quite disturbing and at the same time beautiful to see yourself through the eyes of all these children. They were their heroes, appreciated and thanked for their actions and protection. Her partner was right, yes her heart warmed when she discovered this gift, it was filled with love and gratitude, with regard to these children and with regard to the testimonies of sympathy and gratitude which they had given her through their works.
At the bottom of the box, a white, square envelope caught her attention. She opened the unsealed envelope and found an other little letter that had been written by Chat Noir.
"We have an appointment tonight at 9:00 p.m. at Necker Hospital, for a meeting with sick children, as part of a make-a-wish party that is organized there. The children are excited to meet us and show us their admiration and sympathy. I took the liberty of accepting the invitation for the two of us, I think it will do us the greatest good to recharge our batteries to be surrounded by people who love us. Your silly kitty who's excited to see you tonight . "
At 8:45 pm, Ladybug grabbed an envelope on her desk, which she slid safely into her yo-yo before going out onto her balcony and hurtling towards Necker Hospital.
When she arrived, Chat Noir was already present and waiting on the roof of the hospital, the same hospital where he had, 1 month earlier, recovered many drawings for the gift of Ladybug.
-I'm glad to see you tonight, my Lady, said Chat Noir, grabbing his partner's hand to drop her one of his kissing aerials, which he used to do.
-It's good that you accepted the invitation for both of us, I'm glad to be here, she replied with a wide smile.
They both slipped into the hospital using the emergency stairs; then walking down the corridors to the pediatric ward. When they walked through the doors of the service, they entered a totally different atmosphere, almost making them forget that they were in a hospital care center. The corridors were lit from floor to ceiling by bright and colorful garlands, there were stars as well as photos of Santa Claus, plastered on all the walls, several fir trees (about one tree every 10 meters) were proudly decorated with all colors, and a soft melody, in which you could hear bells and children singing, floated in background music They stayed there for almost two hours sharing anecdotes, laughter, hugs, photos and autographs with the children.
Chat Noir had spent the evening to watch his partner's : She was beautiful, smiling, happy, she kept laughing and every time he heard that wonderful sound, his heart missed. He looked at her tenderly and savored the moment. It seemed to him that she was relaxed and enjoying the evening, that's all he had hoped for: see Ladybug filled with happiness and light mind. No fight, just joy.
Before separating from Chat Noir, Ladybug asked him with concern: - And you, kitty? Didn't you get any drawings?
-Don't worry about it Bugaboo, kids love cats, I have my fan club. I wanted to please you, but thanks to care about me.
-It's because you also deserve that what belongs to Caesar be returned to Caesar. You're amazing, Chat Noir. To accompany her last words, she opened her yo-yo and handed a bright black envelope to her partner.
He looked at her quietly and took the envelope in his hands.
-As I told you, you also deserve gifts, good night, my kitty, she said, before she went off from the roof of the hospital and into the night.
-Good night, love of my life, he murmured for himself when she was already far away in the darkness.
