Hey everyone! Merry Christmas! This is a short set of one shots that I am dedicating to my amazing beta's for all of their help, and for being amazing friends. This first one is for Genxha, our resident Chat Noir! Thank you so much for always bringing a smile to my face and being the sweetest most amazing Kitty ever! Lots of love and melty camembert hearts!

Also I don't own the characters, just the plot! Enjoy!

LadyNoir

Her breathing hitched, the darkened sky above promising a storm to match the pain in her heart. Thunder roared as she raised her head, drowning out the cry she could no longer hold in. Ladybug let the tears fall, mixing with the first drops of rain.

The sobs escaped freely, her hands going to her face as the past few weeks of turbulent emotions refused to be contained any longer.

Two months. It had been two months since the last time she had spoken a word to Adrien. It was all her fault. De-transforming in the wrong place after a particularly long akuma fight, she should have been paying more attention. She should have realized that Adrien had hidden in the alley. She should have never stopped running, despite the warning beeping from her earrings. She should have just de-transformed on a random rooftop away from any and all eyes.

Anything would have been better than seeing the familiar soft green eyes widen in horror the way they had. The way his voice shook saying her name, as though the revelation of finding out who Ladybug really was had been the worst thing he'd ever discovered. His face that day haunted her dreams, and the way he avoided her gaze everyday since formed new cracks on her heart.

It was too much. The pain of losing Adrien, even if it was just the strained, weird sort of friendship that they had, was like being in a state of constant drowning. Suffocating and tense, her breath catching and tears renewing with every flash of green that turned away from her.

Cold rain began pelting down, starting to saturate her hair.

If fate hadn't already been cruel enough in taking Adrien, it decided to Chat Noir too.

He had stopped with all of his nicknames, the flirting diminishing with each fight until it stopped all together. He hadn't made a single pun these past few weeks either, and as much as she hated to admit it, she missed it. She missed her carefree and flirty partner. She missed his bright smile, and the way he always knew what to say that gave her the courage to keep fighting.

She cupped her fist longingly, not caring about the rain setting its cold deep inside her.

They hadn't bumped fists since that last fight where Adrien discovered her identity either.

She crouched into herself, letting her head fall on her knees. Two of the most important people in her life, lost to her because of her own doing.

A soft vinyl thumping sounded above her, making her look up to see a black umbrella stopping the rain from reaching her.

"M'lady."

She turned at his voice, tears blurring her vision seeing the shy smile on his face. He kneeled in front of her, his voice shaking, "I'm so sorry, this… this is all my fault."

He offered her his hand and she could barely get it out, "No, i-its mine. I, I don't know, w-what I did but I-" her tears burned as they fell.

"No, Marinette no, it wasn't anything you did." He whispered, her eyes going wide as he said her name.

"It was me," he admitted, dropping his gaze, "You are so amazing, with and without your mask. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever known, and I knew that…" he could barely look up at her again, "I didn't stand a chance. Seeing you everyday, having you sit right behind me and knowing that you'd never love someone like me… I couldn't… I couldn't handle it. I thought it would be better if I just gave you space, so that you could be with the boy you loved."

Her lip trembled, "A-Adrien?"

His ears flattened against his head, looking away from her the way he had been. She cupped his cheek, turning his face back towards her.

She threw her arms around his neck, hearing the small yelp of surprise as they fell to the ground, the umbrella laying forgotten beside them. Instantly his arms went around her, holding her tightly as he fought back his own tears.

"It was you," she muttered against his neck, "It's always been you Adrien. I've always been in love with you."

He couldn't handle hearing her tender words, and broke down, trying to bury himself in her shoulder. When he felt her move away, he sat up, trying to close the distance again, but she beat him to it. The second he was up, her lips found his.

The rain was forgotten as love swelled inside their hearts, pushing back the cold of the storm. They parted smiling at each other, laughing despite the rain. Eyes closed and foreheads resting against each other, neither noticed the ray of sunlight that peeked through the clouds, shining down on them.
