DISCLAIMER: I DON'T own anything of Miraculous.
Author's Note: Concept done to death, still had to try my hand. 🌸🌸😅 As usual bare with me, on short beginnings.
3 years have passed since she was honored the permanent keep of the Dragon Miraculous. It was time to truly thank Ladybug and Cat Noir.
During the nightly patrol, golden reptilian eyes softly watch her two teammates talk. Not wanting to interrupt. Even as her leader's bluebell eyes look to her then back to Cat Noir. She won't lie to herself anymore, in the 3 years much closer to him, she has grown very fond of Cat Noir.
Maybe not as strongly as she loved Adrien. Yet it still surprises her. So as she sees Ladybug leap at him in a tight embrace. A sad smile grows on her face. Quickly, she forces her mask of professionalism.
Reaching out towards the two, black gloved hands revealing cute gift bags that say 'Happy Anniversary' on them. She doesn't wait for either to open their bags, assuming they want to be left alone. Turning around, it surprises her when Cat Noir gently hugs her as Ladybug's sweet smile beams at the two embracing.
"I'm off, be safe you too."
"Wait Ryuko! Happy Anniversary to you as well."
As Ladybug gestures to opening hers, Cat Noir's tightly hugging Ryuko again, surprises them both. "Thank you Ryuko, I love it."
He states still holding her in his arms. Bluebell eyes stare curiously, unable to see what he holds in his black claws behind Ryuko's backside. Once he places it on his untamed blond hair, a gasp escapes the Miraculous leader's lips.
Cat Noir poses as model with the black knit beanie with green paw prints on hem and the word "Cat-licious" in cursive green.
Unknown to the cat and dragon, the ladybug stares with big bug eyes frozen. 'That's the hat Kagami asked me to make. . .for ADRIEN!'
Quickly spinning her yo-yo, "Well look at the time. Hehehe, happy anniversary Ryuko. Bye!" She leaps off the roof, not looking back. Cat Noir and Ryuko glance side by side confused at her hasty exist.
