To understand how I feel about Adrien, I guess I have to tell you about stoneheart.

Youve probably heard the name. The infamous first Akuma. The beginning if hawkmoth's reign of terror.

What you might not know is that stoneheart was just a boy. A brokenhearted boy.

And he was in my class.

I wish I could tell you that Adrien jumped in and heroically saved me or something, but really he ran away with the rest of the class

Including me.

I ran home. I ran. I knew I was supposed to become a hero, but I just couldn't do it. I didn't know how.

I talked to my kwami, and she was so encouraging. I couldn't let her down.

Reluctantly, I called out "spots on." And I reluctantly transformed.

...

That was a weird experience. Transforming. Its like you feel all this power from within you suddenly multipy. You feel stronger faster more confident. Its indescribable and wonderful.

I never get used to it.

...

I became Ladybug and I jumped out of my window. I there's my yo-yo and leapt across the rooftops.

Somehow I was supposed to fight. I wasn't sure how. I'd never fought before. I didn't think I could.

I had just spotted the Akuma when I messed up.

My yo-yo got caught on a pole.

Suddenly I was falling.

The yo-yo wrapped around the around me.

I didn't know what was happening.

...

That's when I met my best friend and crimefighting partner.

He smirked and said. "I'm glad you fell for me, but I'm a little tied up."

I unwrapped us and pulled the yo-yo back.

I held out my hand. "I'm ladybug,"

He kissed it . "I'm Chat Noir, your partner."

He was such a flirt. I had barely met him and he wanted me. He had made two puns in the first five minutes of knowing him

He seemed confident and impulsive.

The opposite of me.

I guess that's why we are partners. He jumps in to fight and I plan. I hesitate, he doesn't. We balance each other out.

No one could be a better partner for me.

Not even Adrien.
