i originally wrote this as a chapter to lovely, but it felt like it's own story. Thanks for reading. Leave a review.

I finally let out a sigh. "Miraculous Ladybug!" Once again, everything was healed and the Akuma was defeated. Me and Chat had saved Paris.

It was tiring, but I was glad I was a hero. And I had the best partner in the world. Chat Noir was my best friend. We worked perfectly in unison to save the world on a weekly basis.

The only problem was his puns. About every other sentence was a cat pun. It can be quite clawful. I'm sorry. I couldn't resist.

Puns are funny, to some degree, but Chat, Chat uses way too many puns.

Other than that, he's pretty much perfect.

You know who's perfect?

Adrien Agreste. He's a model. His blonde hair shines like the Sun. His green eyes shine like... Chat Noir's eyes actually. And he so sweet and kind. Adrien is in my class, and one of my friends. I'm so in love with him. But I can barely talk to him, much less flirt.

Speaking of flirts, Chat Noir is the biggest flirt I know. He calls me all sorts of nicknames like Buggaboo and his Lady. He flirts so much that if he meant what he said I would never be able to tell.

Now that I think about it, physically at least, Chat Noir and Adrien Agreste are pretty similar.

Without his obnoxious personality, Chat Noir would be kind've hot.

I'm in love with Adrien.

I have to admit, Chat's kinda cute.

Oh God. I like Chat Noir. And he's right next to me. On the Eiffel Tower. Watching the sunset.

How romantic. Ugh. He must've planned this.

I can't believe he almost convince me that I like him.

Hes so impulsive, stupid, destructive brave, kind, courageous, smart,

I have to push all of these thoughts out of my brain.

I take a deep breath.

How long have we been holding hands?

I pulled my hand away quickly. It might've been too fast. Now I feel bad.

Hes looking at me now. His emerald eyes staring into my blue ones.

"M'lady, I could get lost in your eyes." God what a flirt.

But I know how to respond. I chuckle a little. "You could get lost anywhere Chat."

He looks away. Moment ruined. Good. He groans softly. "That was one time. Are you ever gonna let that go Buggaboo?"

"I thought you said you've lived in Paris your whole life." I might be teasing him, just a bit.

"I have"

"Sure. Why can't you get from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre? Its not that complicated."

He looks genuinely hurt. "I had a very sheltered childhood."

He doesn't like to talk about his childhood. "I'm sorry Chat.I during mean to bring it up." I give him a soft hug.

He hugs quickly. "Nah its fine." I see him wipe the tears from his eyes. "Besides I'm bad at directions. I can't even tell you which hand is left *holds up right hand* or right *holds up left hand*."

At that,I chuckle again. "Actually, it's the other way, make an L with your hand."

"If course it is."

"Maybe that's why we are a team."

"Why?"

"We complete each other." He gives me a confused look. "You know, you're compulsive, I plan. I'm clumsy, you are like a graceful model-" Chat gives me a really weird look at that. Deer in headlights, frozen look. Like weird, like I know a secret about him, weird. "-you are directionally challenged, and I'm a human GPS."

He immediately unfreezes and smirks. oh no here come his puns. I inwardly groan as he opens his mouth. "Well then M'lady, could you direct me to your heart."

"Location not found."

"You don't have a heart?"

I roll my eyes. I kinda set him up for that one. And the last One. " we really are opposites. I am shy. You're obnoxious. And you. You get really attached. I push people away. Once I g it rejected and I can never accept anyone again. I can't get too close. I'm sorry Chat."

I feel my face get red. I know the tears are coming,but there's nothing I can do.

Then he does the unexpected.

He just hugs me.

No Puns. No jokes. Just a hug. And "I'm here for you m'lady. I can be your friend, or your boyfriend, if you want. But I'm here,by your side. However you need."

"I just push people away."

"Well luckily, I'm directionally challenged. I'm an idiot who gets push confused with pull." He was so sweet. Chat was my partner. "Don't get me started on revolving doors. Theyre a nightmare."

I laughed a little. "Thanks Chat. I needed that."

"Do you want to talk about what's wrong?"

"Yeah, but you have to promise not to laugh. Okay?"

"Okay." He seemed sincere. And I really needed to spill everything.

"Well today, I had the chance to ask out the guy I liked. During lunch we were all alone. We were talking about dating and stuff, not each other, but that's what I wanted. He asked me who I liked and I blanked. I panicked. I couldn't tell Adrien Agreste that I was totAlly in love with him-"

He cut me off "-Adrien? The model?"

"-yeah keep up." I continue with the story. "So he asks me and I blank. So guess what I told him."

"What?"

"I said I was in love with Chat Noir. And he totally froze up. Just like you are. Stop giving me that look. Anyway. He looked like I had confessed being in love with him and then he spent the rest of lunch telling me how a relationship between a hero and a civilian could never happen."

Chat let out a chuckle.

"You promised you wouldn't laugh at me."

"I'm not, I'm laughing at myself."

"Really."

"Mmhhmm I rejected a girl that I actually liked, but she didn't know I was me. If that makes sense "

"Huh I guess were in the same boat"

"Yeah." Chat nodded like he knew where I was going with the story.

"Little did he know, I am Ladybug. But he was right. A hero can't be with a civilian. A relationship with him could never work. I have to push him away."

"You don't have to."

"Itd be beat for everyone if I did. And then I got to thinking about you. I said I likes you and then I couldn't stop thinking about it and 'm so overwhelmed. I never appreciated you for the great friend you are. And I think I like you. But I don't let people get close."

"I wouldn't mind."

"I'm just overwhelmed."

oneshot? More? What do you think.
