Chapter 10
Someday soon I'll go back to Paris and France and maybe even live there. I've never loved a city or one place so much (Although I also really loved Switzerland, too bad I don't speak Dutch). I dunno, maybe it's the historian and museum student in me. Anyways, one chapter left! Thanks for sticking with me this far, I can't ask for better followers. I will do another Miraculous story, but probably only once season 2 is out. If you have any prompts or shows you think I should watch I would be more than happy to hear from you!
Hugs'n'shit

Adrian had tried to insist that Marinette stay at home that night, saying he could handle patrol fine by himself for the night and she needed to rest for the show tomorrow. But Marinette couldn't stand the thought of staying at home to worry all by her self.
"Pirouette and then skip and leap and- ugh this is awful!" Ladybug stomped a foot on the rooftop in frustration, her fear of messing up and being made fun of getting the better of her.
"You're going to wake up who ever lives down there," Chat said gently. "Your over thinking things here m'lady, you can't freak your self out or else you will mess up." Marinette groaned and covered her face with her hands. Okay, so maybe that wasn't the right thing to say.
"No that's not what I meant really I-" Adrian cut him self off, turning sharply to face North, his night vision allowing him to see a plume of smoke rising up from a building in the distance.
"There's a fire." Ladybug looked up, following his arm to where he was pointing, the little flicker of orange flame catching her eye. In an instant all insecurities and fears were pushed away as the duo made they're way to the emergency. They were hero's and their personal lives had no place in their persona's as Paris's guardians.

They arrived on the scene just after the screaming sirens and flashing lights. People stood, horrified, outside the building. Come crying and calling out for someone to rescue those trapped inside, while others simply gaped, unable to comprehend what they were seeing.
"You take the south end, I'll take the north, sweep in until the middle." Ladybug yelled to her partner as they rocketed towards the burning building. If you find a person, bring them out and continue on!" She looked at her boyfriend hard. "And please, be safe."
Luckily, there were only a few trapped people and one very terrified cat but everyone was out safe before the fire got so bad that floors began to collapse and the roof fell in. Ladybug and Chat Noir were handing out blankets and checking up on their rescue victims, making sure they were being treated for smoke inhalation and minor burns, offering comfort to those traumatized by the events. Chat Noir had returned the frightened, mildly singed cat back to his sobbing owner who thanked him profusely, insisting that he come visit Rene and herself sometime when she had a new place to live. Ladybug laughed as she watched Chat try to disentangle him self from the elderly lady and her cat Rene, who was desperately clawing his way back into Adrian's arms.
The two hero's waved goodbye to the dispersing crowd as they left. Time was ticking on and it was now the early hours of the morning. Adrian was yawning, green eyes drooping with exhaustion and his body aching for his bed. All he wanted to do at this point was flop down and sleep, maybe with his lady curled up next to him…
"Whoa, are you okay?" Adrian blinked, finding he had stumbled into Marinette's arms, his transformation worn off and Plagg sleeping peacefully on his shoulder.
"Yeah," he muttered. "I'm just tired. No biggie." Chuckling under her breath, Marinette put his arms around her shoulders, and her free arm around his waist.
"Hold on tight," She teased, "I would hate to drop you."
Once Adrian was quietly tucked into bed, and a chaste kiss was pressed to his soft lips, Marinette went home her self, prepared to worry and fret the rest of the night away. But when her head hit her pillow, she was asleep. Dreaming of perfect pirouettes and flawless leaps.
