It was sometimes hard forging a bond with someone that you can essentially know nothing about, but there were always these moments that both Ladybug and Chat Noir wouldn't trade for the world, times that the duo had just found the most outlandish things to talk about, and today upon a rooftop in the third arrondissement was no different from most of the other nights that they had spent together. Chat Noir gave a soft sigh and Ladybug simply rolled her eyes in response. Neither knew what to say after everything had happened...which was to say nothing had happened, aside from Chat falling off of a roof and getting seen by both Marinette and Ladybug. Marinette mocking him in a teasing sarcastic manner, and Ladybug outright laughing at him minutes later when she'd met up with him for patrol. Of course, he'd felt lightly picked on, but even he had to admit that the way he tried to smooth it over with the girl on the balcony was funny, and if he had seen Ladybug do the same thing, then he, of course, would have been chortling with laughter the same way that she was.
"I don't know what came over me, I still can't believe I said that..." he mumbled, awkwardly reaching behind his neck to give it a light scratch.
"Yeah, I don't know what you were thinking either!" Ladybug giggled out as she shook her head. Of course, she had to see him make a fool of himself...he didn't even remember seeing her anywhere that would have earshot of the moment!
"I just feel bad though...I mean, I know Marinette has a crush on me...or had a crush on me...dealing with me like that might have given her the wrong impression!" Chat stated as Ladybug paused.
"Okay let's review...she asked if it hurt, you said 'When I fell from heaven?' in that strange flirty voice of yours, and she said 'No, when you fell from that roof, you were like right across from me' and then you bolted! You didn't even explain it to her!" and then Ladybug's laughter picked up again as she held her chest. "I think you're okay from her thinking anything romantic, she probably thinks you're insane now!" Ladybug stated before shaking her head.
"Ugh...I can't believe I just ran away like a chicken!" Chat stated as Ladybug's head snapped up.
"Oh yeah! Speaking of chickens, do you remember that thing about aliens and how it bothers me? I think I figured out just why it makes no sense to me!" her voice rang out and his attention fully snapped to her face, going over every contour of her features.
"Oh yeah? Going to finally contest my everyone loves a good burger, and we use cow's milk in so many delicious treats as part of an ingredient theory? Because I still think that if aliens really wanted to make us submit before taking over they'd know to aim for all of our cows..cow's today and pigs tomorrow." he responded as she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah...no." she stated. Chat only made a face at that, and she responded by sticking out her tongue.
"I still don't get how you can be so casual in thinking that cows are superior, and why aliens would take them! I mean why cows though! It just doesn't make sense, they're not even that interesting! Plus a lot of people stopped eating cow meat! I mean yes we still use milk, so I guess that's a thing but...think about it for a second Chat!" she begged, her voice ragged with both frustration and excitement. It was rare for her and her best friend to get moments like this, to just talk about everything and nothing, and she always appreciated those talks. It was hard, that was for sure because they couldn't let any small details about themselves slip through their facades, but these moments were great because they got to learn so much about each other without learning anything at all, and slowly but surely it made her adore her partner more and more with each new thing she'd learned.
"Chickens just make so much more sense! I mean if I was going to abduct some animals it wouldn't be cows, I get it that they want to get farm animals but chickens make too much sense! They lay eggs, which if broken they will attack and devour! Plus the eggshells are made of calcium! And it just comes out of their butts! No other creature makes butt calcium! Well...I mean a lot do actually, but they're used a lot more across the world! Plus they're omnivores, Chat! Omnivores! They eat both meat AND plants! Do you know how scary that is! They're also the closest living relative to the t-rex! Crocodiles might be real dinosaurs but chickens are relatives of the t-rex! Something is wrong with these aliens if they're just abducting cows!" she ranted, slamming her head lightly against his shoulder before running a hand through her fringe.
"Yeah...I guess your right, chickens do make more sense, but it's not like it'd be easy for them to find a wandering chicken!" he stated as she shrugged.
"It's not my fault that aliens are too stupid to find a coop on a farm...or in someone's backyard! I'm just saying that it makes more sense that if aliens were real, they'd take chickens is all!" her voice was soft as she rested her head on his shoulder...another moment saved in their memories, and one of the few subjects that just wouldn't get in the way of their identities. She let out a soft sigh as she shook her head lightly, feeling his own head press to hers as if to lock her in place. Moments like these really were few and far between, but the two of them would always appreciate each one as they came.
