Chapter Seven: Coup de Foudre
A/N: Woop! Released a day earlier! Anyways, this chapter is extremely short, without TOO much dialogue as this was meant to be a more internal conflict kind of chapter. The idea for THIS reveal was by an ML Comic called *Umbrella* (I don't know the exact title, just the Princess Sakura Serenity one! I'M SOOOOOOOO SORRY to the creator of the comic)
Hope you enjoy!
"M'lady?" Chat asked, wondering what got Ladybug so down.
"You know, don't you?" she mumbled, loud enough for only Chat to hear.
"What?"
"You know who I truly am."
"Yeah," he admitted. "I do."
"How long?" she said, her voice shaking.
"A while now…" his voice trailed off.
She was in tears now. "You coming to my balcony all those times. Were they all because you knew?!"
Ladybug didn't give Chat Noir enough time to answer as she continued.
"So tell me, do you love me? Or do you love Ladybug?"
Chat Noir stayed in silence, as he knew he couldn't give a truthful answer.
All this time, I tried to be Adrien, because that's who she fell for. But I ignored my true self, I forgot to be pun-loving, flirt Chat Noir. Maybe if I took the time to be as I used to see her as, a friend, maybe she would eventually fall for me. Maybe if I tried to show her kindness, actual, platonic kindness, we wouldn't even be in this situation.
As he looked for ways to try to make it up to her, he spotted a black umbrella.
She kept this? I can't believe it.
Chat Noir picked up the umbrella in the now pouring rain and opened. A genuine act of kindness as he extended the umbrella towards Ladybug and smiled, despite the thunder's booms and claps.
Ladybug turned to see a warmly smiling Chat as he handed her a black umbrella, an umbrella that seemed all too familiar.
She gazed into the forest green eyes of Chat Noir, saw his damp blonde hair shine like the golden sun yet to come, and stared at his peach-lipped smile as he handed her the umbrella in the thundering rain.
It was like Deja Vu as she found herself once again falling in love with a man she was wrong about.
Coup de Foudre
Ladybug stared once again at Chat Noir green eyes, as her own, shiny with tears, could only widen at.
"Adrien?"
A/N: And that's where we end!
Jk, I'm a writer, not a monster!
But the next chapter MIGHT be released either tonight or tomorrow. We'll see!
As always...
Bug Out!
