Chat Noir had been waiting for her, and she herself was pressed for time, so as she jumped off to go meet him, she landed on the rooftop with a knowing thud, wrapping her arms around her frame as she had made her landing. The events of the day beginning to eat away at her, because it was all too much, and she was definitely over-stressed. Everything was too much, she didn't know how to deal with any of it and talking to Tikki wasn't helping her to calm down earlier, talking to her parents wasn't helping the situation any, it was as if nothing could help her find relief or stability, and everything about the whole thing was overwhelming her, so her voice came out almost choked as they stood on the rooftop of an apartment building in the sixth arrondissement. "Ch-Chat…can I…have a hug?" she asked with trepidation, her nerves shot from everything she'd been dealing with.
As if she ever needed to tell him twice, by the tone of her voice he could tell something was wrong, but of course, it's not something he'd ever want to force out of her, so in silence he slowly stepped forward and pulled her into a tight hug, holding her tighter than he ever had before, closer even, severing everything that kept them apart all for the sake of granting her some comfort. The day was calm so far, so they could both afford some time to just enjoy each other's company, usually, they'd just patrol about searching for something to do, such as saving a people on buses when the brakes didn't work, or helping helicopters that were spinning out of control and about to cause irreparable damages to the citizens and buildings below.
"My arms will always be available to embrace you milady. Even if I don't have your heart, I have you, so please if there's anything I can help you with, feel free to talk to me. Even if you just want to talk." He kept her close, one hand gently caresses her back and the other strokes her hair as well, making sure he was quite delicate with her. "Or if you'd prefer a more private area, could we ditch this rooftop and go to our usual spot on the Eiffel Tower? This Kitty doesn't mind where we go, as long as I can help you feel better."
She fell into his form at his words, and she wasn't even certain that he'd heard her speak at first because he was silent for so long at first…but she was grateful beyond words for the warmth that spread through her as he kept her close. A soft yawn passed through her lips as she melted against his form. He had no idea, but she really appreciated everything he'd done for her, even the small moments like this one. His company had meant everything to her, she was glad to have him there with her, this wasn't something she could exactly talk about with her friends outside the mask…he was the only one that could begin to understand the frustration behind what she was feeling…and most of the time she couldn't bring herself to talk about anything, out of fear that he'd figure out who she was.
"Chat…I…" she began, his words snapping her out of her reverie as her cheeks bloomed with scarlet. "Here is fine…I…It's nothing bad really…I'm just…upset. My parents…ugh this is so silly and stupid…" she mumbled, casting her gaze upward into his slitted green eyes, the patience of a thousand saints boring down into her own bluebell hues. "I just got grounded again…because I'm a superhero and I have to lie to my parents about why I keep missing class…it's just…so frustrating. I wanted to spend time with a friend of mine today, and my mom just told him that I couldn't, because I was grounded…it's just not fair, you know! I mean, if she knew I was Ladybug, I doubt I'd be grounded! But I can't even tell her so instead I'm in trouble for…for being a good person!" she muttered, pursing her lips into a pout before slamming her forehead into his chest.
"Ouch…" he stated with a wince as she released a light groan. He continued to softly rub her back. "If I were in your position I'd be frustrated too M'lady, but…this is just the price we pay for being superheroes…" he stated, as she lightly giggled against his chest, he felt lighter than air the moment that she had began to giggle, and he was glad to have been there for her at that moment.
