Marinette/Ladybug:

The smile that I wore when I looked at Chat smiling at me dropped off my face. I turned to glare at Shade. I was shaking. My breaths came in large, heavy gasps. I swear, my eyes turned blood red. Victim or no victim, Shade was in for a world of pain. His eyes could only widen in fear as I leaped onto him, pushing him to the ground. "NO ONE! NO ONE! TOUCHES MY KITTY!" I screamed as I released a barrage of blows to Shade until I felt him go limp. Even then I continued to hit Shade's body until my punches slowed and my breathing calmed. I think the only reason I was able to beat him that way was because he was too surprised to fight back. I looked down to see the butterfly mask still hovering over Shade's face. My fury was reignited as I grabbed him and hauled him to my face so I could have a little chat with Hawkmoth. I wanted him to see my face. The girl that beat him, and would continue to do so. Forever and always. "I will find you," I assured him, "and when I do, you are in for a world of pain." Only as I gripped the front of the cloth on Shade's body, did I finally spot his akumatized object, a pin on his shirt, and break it. A black butterfly came flying out and I quickly captured it in my yo-yo, de-evilizing it. I found my lucky charm on the ground nearby and cast it into the air. Then I was by Chat's side. Cradling him in my arms as the damage of the attack was swept away. Even as his injuries were healed, I sobbed, clutching his body tightly in my arms. Chat pulled back, awakened and unharmed, to stare at me. I let out a noise between a laugh and a sob as I pulled him into a bone-crushing hug. At first, he didn't move, startled by my movement, but he soon returned my affection as he gripped my body against his. All I could do was say "You stupid, stupid cat," because it was true, "don't you know how much you mean to me?" He only hugged me tighter upon hearing my words and soon he too began to tremble and weep. I don't know if I ever heard our miraculous beeping, but if I did I didn't care. When I looked into his eyes again, I found I was looking into them without a mask surrounding them.

Adrien/Chat Noir:

The first thing I felt when I came to was someone else's body pressed against my own. Then I heard crying. It sounded like Ladybug. Ladybug! I pulled back in surprise to find my sweet bugaboo's face stained with tears. She let out a strangled laugh, trying to smile while still crying. Then I felt her pull me into the tightest embrace of my entire life. To be honest, I had no idea how to react. The love of my life was holding me like I was the only thing in the world that mattered to her. I finally came to my senses and hugged her back. And oh dear god, when she started whispering "You stupid, stupid cat, don't you know how much you mean to me?" The day's events came rushing back to me. Shade, the fight, and my brilliant, brave Ladybug. I couldn't hold her tight enough as I felt my own body shake and my own tears leak out of my eyes. I don't know if I ever heard our miraculous beeping, but if I did I didn't care. When I looked into her eyes again, I found I was looking into them without a mask surrounding them.
