Junior VB: I know they drive me crazy / Lo se me mantienen loca

Fangirl: Girl me too!

"I'm never ever ever ever ever going to see her again, Tikki," Marinette screamed under her blankets. She had just gotten home from hanging out with Alya and the gang, and she was still upset after her encounter with Chloe in the restroom.

Tikki flew about the bed, "What about in school? What if she gets someone akumatized and you have to go question her?"

Marinette poked her head out from under her blankets and said, "I can ignore her at school, no problem. As for Ladybug issues, Chat Noir can save that bit-"

"Marinette!" Tikki interrupted her.

Marinette groaned and ran her hands down her face, "I'm sorry, Tikki. I'm just so upset. She usually leaves me alone at school now, so I forgot how much of a wicked person she can be."

"Don't get upset, Marinette," Tikki frowned.

"I can't help it, Tikki," Marinette told her quietly. "She… she means a lot to me now." Tikki sighed and went to lay down next to Marinette's head.

"Go see her."

So she did. Marinette transformed into Ladybug to go find Chloe. It was around 10:30, and she had told her parents she was going to sleep, so they wouldn't check up on her. She made her way around Paris' buildings until reaching the familiar hotel. She went straight to Chloe's balcony and found that her lights were still on. She didn't bother to knock and just walked inside. Chloe was sitting on her bed with her laptop in front of her. She was wearing nothing but a huge oversized t-shirt and what Marinette really hoped were short shorts. Marinette hated Chloe's legs and by hated, she hated that she found them attractive. Her hair was up in a bun, and she had no makeup on. Chloe looked up from the makeup tutorial video she was watching and smiled at Ladybug. It only took her a second to realize Ladybug wasn't happy.

Sure, Ladybug was never a ball of sunshine when she saw her or checked up on her. But she could tell Ladybug was upset, and she was scared she was upset with her.

"Hi, Ladybug," Chloe greeted her.

"How was your day?" Ladybug asked her as she walked towards her bed. Chloe closed her laptop and stood up to put it on her drawer.

"It's actually been a really good day, I'm not going to lie."

"It's a good day when you torment people?" Ladybug asked her. Chloe froze in front of her drawer.

Chloe stuttered, "W-What do you mean, Ladybug?" She turned around and saw that Ladybug was sitting down in the middle of her bed. She was looked directly at her, and she looked unhappy. "Did I get someone akumatized again?"

"No. But… a friend told me you were disrespectful to them." Ladybug was trying really hard not break and tell her everything.

"I don't remember," Chloe told her and held her head up high. She didn't know who it possibly could have been. There was that boy on the bike that morning, the ticket vendor at the theaters, Marinette, Sabrina, Kim, and a few others. Someone was telling Ladybug things about her, and it was making her look bad. She didn't feel good about it.

"Chloe," Ladybug rolled her eyes, "you remember." Chloe stayed quiet and looked down at her feet. She didn't want to spend the night with Ladybug if all she was going to do was scold her for being the person she was raised to be. "Come here," Ladybug said causing Chloe to look straight into her eyes. She looked angry at the moment.

"Are you going to yell at me?" Chloe asked her. Ladybug felt her heart sink. Chloe didn't care about what others thought of her. But she knew that if her father or Ladybug told her something, it'd probably break her. Chloe was a hard fix, and she didn't know why.

"No," Ladybug shook her head. Chloe slowly walked over to the bed and when she reached it, she jumped on Ladybug. Ladybug's eyes were wide open as Chloe knocked her down. She hated the fact that she was stronger, but it was always Chloe that would pin her down. But she did not hate the fact that Chloe's face was really close to hers. Chloe stared into Ladybug's eyes for a few seconds before she shifted and rested her head on the hero's chest.

"I'm good, Ladybug," Chloe whispered. Ladybug was frozen, and she was just staring up at the ceiling. Chloe voice cracked, "I swear, I'm good." Ladybug wrapped her arms around Chloe and one of her hands traced random patterns on her back. Chloe's neck was turned so she had her ear on Ladybug's chest and all that flooded her mind was the noise of Ladybug's heartbeat.

"You can be better," Ladybug told her. Chloe frowned and rolled off of Ladybug so that they were both lying down next to each other and facing the ceiling. Ladybug found herself reaching for Chloe's hand, and she grabbed it. Chloe didn't complain and interlaced their fingers.

"I don't know if I can," Chloe told her, "I'm this way already. I'm not bad. I don't think I am."

"I didn't say you were bad, Chloe," Ladybug sighed. "But I do know you can be nicer because you're nicer to me than you are to other people." Chloe rolled on her side to stare at Ladybug who almost immediately did the same thing. They were still holding hands, and their faces were so close to where they could feel each other breathe.

"But you know why I'm nicer to you, Ladybug," Chloe smiled at her, "we're actually friends." Ladybug didn't know how to react to that last statement. The Marinette inside her wanted to both laugh and kiss her even though friends didn't kiss.

It was that moment when she saw the blue in Chloe's eyes weren't always ice that she realized she liked girls, and there was no going back on Chloe.

"We're friends right?" Chloe asked her with a frown.

"Yeah," Ladybug said making Chloe's face light up.

"But a quick question, Ladybug," Chloe said inching closer to her. Their noses were touching, and Marinette's heart was beating a mile a minute at this point. Both of their faces were hot, and Chloe had been dying for this opportunity for days already.

"Y-yeah?" Ladybug whispered. Her lips were shaking, and she felt like her heart was going pop out her chest.

"Can friends," Chloe started before she lightly pressed her lips against Ladybug's and then pulled away to say, "do this?"

"Most definitely," Ladybug replied before kissing Chloe herself.

Star: So I always forget to edit in an author's note since on Ao3 I just copy and paste and make my note their and then dip, but I really want to thank the readers on FFN lmao. That's also my way of replying to reviews that I've had for years since my old FFN account since I forget to say how much I love reviews and how you guys fan over Chloe and Ladybug. This chapter is short, but I want to leave it there because I can, and you can think that they're going to be happy.
