Paris was a disaster zone. Cat Noir landed gracefully, as only a cat can, on a lily pad next to Ladybug. She looks exceptionally beautiful today, he thought.

"Toad-ally nice to see you, M'lady!"

"Cat Noir, we don't have time to play games. Paris is under attack!"

That was one of the only times Cat Noir got to see Ladybug—when Paris was under threat of an akuma or on patrols. He didn't mind it so much. He knew they'd capture it and make a great team while doing so.

"Cat Noir, look out!"

He jumped out of the way just in time. Thanks bugaboo, he thought. She hated when he called her that, so he tried not to say out loud too much. But still, he thought it was kind of cute.

"Steer clear of his tongue." Ladybug warned, "He turns people into frogs!"

Cat Noir already knew that, thanks to Marinette back in the classroom. What he didn't know was how to stop this thing.

"Got it! Any idea where the akuma is hiding?"

Ladybug spotted a necklace that Frogzilla was wearing. The akuma had to be in there. They lured Frogzilla away and managed to sneak into an alley. Cat Noir knew exactly how they'd get to his necklace. I'll extend my staff under Frogzilla allowing Ladybug to crawl under and release the akuma. But before he had a chance to reveal his plan to Ladybug, Frogzilla ripped their hiding place to pieces and attacked her.

No! With his cat like reflexes, he extended his staff to save Ladybug. He didn't care that it turned into a vine, as long as she was safe. I don't know what I'd do if anything ever happened to her.

Ladybug's Lucky Charm was a tube of super glue. As they raced toward the Eiffel tower, Cat Noir was catching onto Ladybug's plan. He loved the way they worked harmoniously together. We really are the perfect team.

And her plan worked perfectly, just as he knew it would.

"Thanks for always having my back, Cat Noir."

"Anything for you, M'lady." Cat Noir replied with a short bow.

He really did mean anything. He watched as she headed off to wherever it was that she goes when she isn't Ladybug anymore. One day I'll find out who's under that mask.

Cat Noir waited a moment before heading home after a long day of school and crime fighting. He'd wanted to hang out earlier, but now he just really wanted to get into bed. He got home, got ready for bed, and was about to slide under the covers when he remembered he hadn't checked the Ladyblog yet. He always checked it after a fight to see if Alya got anything good. There were some awesome shots of him and Ladybug battling Frogzilla, but nothing unlike any other fight. He closed his eyes and drifted to sleep as Plagg helped himself to a container of Camembert.

A whole day of school managed to pass by without another akuma attack. It seemed like a smooth sailing day until he walked out into the courtyard to find a crowd gathered around Alya and Meg who were arguing very loudly.

"Ladybug and Cat Noir are NOT in love!" Alya was adamant. " I would KNOW. I've been following them on my blog for what feels like should've been three seasons already!"

"Which is exactly why it's hilarious to me that you DON'T know. Sometimes you can be so blind Alya." Shouted Meg.

"How would you even know? You just got here." Alya shouted back

Meg laughed. "I know things. Also, I've been a Ladyblog subscriber since the beginning."

Alya was a tad speechless. This news seemed to bring the energy back down to a simmer.

"C'mon Alya," Meg continued in a nicer tone, "can't you tell just by the way they look at each other?" She sighed and had a dreamy look on face.

Alya rolled her eyes. "That's called friendship. Boys and girls can be friends with each other without falling in love, you know."

Adrien did know. He was in love with Ladybug but she only saw him as a good friend. It wasn't the first time he'd heard rumors about Ladybug and Cat Noir being in love, and while he wished they were true, Meg's statements missed the mark just like everyone else's.

Alya continued, "and besides! If you really did follow my blog you'd know that Ladybug already denied the rumors. You're just another Lila."

This stunned Adrien. While Meg, wouldn't know who Lila was, he certainly did. Lila was new to school, but left immediately out of humiliation after being called out on all of her impulsive lies. He couldn't believe Alya was calling her a liar. Right before he could say anything to control the situation, Meg replied to Alya's accusation.

"I'm not a liar. I just know things. And something I know is that Ladybug and Cat Noir are in love, even if Ladybug doesn't want to admit it to herself, yet. She's in love with him. And there's no denying that he's in love with her."

Two questions popped into Adrien's head. One, how did Meg know what Alya meant when she called her a Lila? Two, could it be possible? Could Ladybug really be in love with Cat Noir, I mean, me? The second is a question that he thought about often, but Ladybug had told him that there was another boy in her life. Maybe Meg was just wrong, he thought, like most people hoping to get us together. Most people like me.

Just then, Marinette stepped into the circle to break them up.

"Okay ladies let's calm down, or we just might end up with a chance to ask them, ourselves."

Meg giggled, "I am calm. Don't take it personally Alya. I just know." Meg extended her hand toward Alya in an act of truce. Alya reluctantly accepted.

"Great!" Marinette exclaimed. "Now that we're all friends again, let's go see the new exhibit at the museum. Alya and I planned this a few weeks ago, but you're welcome to tag along, Meg."

"That sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks!"

The museum did sound like a lot of fun, and Nino had mentioned wanting to go see the new exhibit. I wonder if the girls will mind if we join. Before he could approach to ask, Adrien's phone starting ringing in his pocket. It was his bodyguard calling to see why he hadn't come out of school since the 20 minutes it had been over. Sighing he turned and went out to his car. I guess I'll just do homework tonight.

Adrien finished all of his homework, ate his dinner alone, and practiced his piano. Now all that was left to do was kill time before bed. He was sitting at his desk, scrolling through old pictures on the Ladyblog when Plagg floated up beside him.

"Whatcha doin?"

"Nothing really, I just cant get what Meg said earlier out of my head."

"What, that Ladybug is in love with you?"

"I know; it's ridiculous. But what if she's right? What if Ladybug just hasn't admitted it to herself?"

"Well then what makes you think she'll admit it to you?" Plagg yawned, the smell of cheese on his breath.

Adrien sighed. Maybe she was wrong, maybe she was right. Either way, the thought gave him just a little bit more hope that maybe one day he'd have his chance with Ladybug. He decided to call it a night and turned off his computer.
