Ladybug stood on the top of the roof of the Notre-Dame. The chilly wind blew through her hair lightly as she looked at the Parisian streets that were decorated with different kinds of Christmas lights. She was waiting for her partner to arrive for their weekly patrol together. Even though it has been a week, Ladybug already missed his company.

She had looked forward to it quite a lot to be out there running over roofs again with Chat Noir. Those patrol days were the days they were able to chat a bit more about their lives, of course without revealing too much details. It was nice to have a day like that where they could meet up and get to know each other a bit more without the stress that came with dealing with Hawk Moth and his Akuma's.

"Good evening my lady." Chat greeted as he landed next to her on the roof. "It took me a little longer to get her due to my father wanting to speak to me about my behavior."
"It's alright, I wasn't waiting long." she replied.

She knew about Chat Noir's relationship with his father. He told her it wasn't really the best bond between father and son, as well as that he tried to keep him proud even though it would ruin his own happiness. Ladybug also noticed that Chat Noir hadn't been like himself since the beginning of December. However he did it told her what was wrong, but she guessed whatever it is was, it had to do something with his behavior change.

"So how are you doing?" Chat Noir asked.
"I'm doing fine, just a little tired, it's quite busy at my parents shop so I help them out quite a lot. I took a nap before patrol so it's fine now."
"I see. I bet it must get less busy once the holidays are over."

Ladybug nodded. The Christmas period at the bakery was so busy. She would help her parents bake in the morning and then once they open up she would help her mom taking orders and such. After those work days she felt tired most of the time.

"Make sure you take enough rest." he told her that every time she was feeling tired because of work. After all he was the only one who was able to understand how though it is to combine your civilian life with your superhero life.
"How are you doing?"

Chat Noir's expression dropped and he let out a sigh before he sat down on the roof. Ladybug took a seat next to him and wrapped an arm around you.

"I don't want to go much into details. It's just my father, he barely pays attention for me ever and now that he had noticed I don't feel like myself, all he does is criticizing me and tells me I'm a disappointment for the family instead of actually helping me."

Ladybug pulled him into a hug. She felt so sorry for him that he didn't have a great relationship with his family. It actually also made her a little more restrained to talk about her family because it feels like she would be rubbing it into his face that it goes well with her relationship with her parents.

"I'm sure you will be there someday and that your parents will be acting normally to you, but until then do know that you can always talk to me when things are bothering you." she said as she released him from the hug. "You're precious to me and I want the best for you. So if there is something I can help you with, please let me know."
"Thanks Ladybug."

He looked with her with a soft smile before he stood up. He was ready to leave for patrol when suddenly snow began to fall slowly from the sky. He looked up at the sky in awe, the soft smile turning into a big one that showed of his teeth. Ladybug stood up as well and smiled at Chat Noir as he looked up so happily up into the sky.

"My mother used to love the snow a lot. She thought it looks pretty and she always went to play outside with me when I was little." He said.
"She doesn't like the snow anymore?" Ladybug asked a bit confused why her partner was using the past tense.
"She still does, sadly she isn't here anymore. But I believe that this first snowfall is a sign of my mother wanting to cheer me up. That has to be it, I mean the weather forecast said I wouldn't snow until later next week."

Ladybug stayed quiet as she now was able to understand why he used the past tense. His mother has passed away.

"I'm sorry… I didn't know…" she said after a while.
"It's alright. Don't worry about it. It has been a very long time ago, but the weeks around the holidays just gets though since she left us behind a few days after Christmas. I still miss her a lot from time to time but I gave it a place in my heart and moved on with life. After all life goes on and I'm sure my mom wouldn't like it for me to isolate myself inside and stay upset all the time."
"I'm sure she would be proud of you up there, and that she thinks that you had grown up into a very brave and nice young man."
"Thanks. I'm sure she is."

They stayed quiet for a moment as they looked at the falling snow. It was a lot that fell down and it had turned the streets white in no time.

"Want to play into the snow for a bit?" Chat Noir asked

Ladybug nodded before she let herself fall down in the already thick layer of snow onto the roof of Notre-Dame. She then began to make a snow angel by moving her arms and legs. Chat Noir laughed and joined her next to her as he began to make a snow angel as well. Both of them laughed as they made fun in the snow, their suits protect them from the cold so it wasn't cold at all.

Once Ladybug had finished her snow angel she grabbed a bit of the snow next to her into her fist and dropped it above Chat Noir's face. Chat Noir let out a yelp in surprise as the snow landed on his face. He sat right up, grabbed some snow and threw it towards Ladybug. Ladybug however, rolled away from the snow and stood up quickly. Chat Noir followed soon after he grabbed some more snow, this time turning it into a snowball. He throws it towards her but Ladybug dodged it by swinging away with her yo-yo.

The snowball fight has soon escalated to a game of cat and mouse. Chat Noir chased after Ladybug trying to get back at her, while Ladybug just dodged the attacks as well as throwing snowballs at him. They both laughed as they ran through the empty streets of Paris, it was already late at night so not many people were still outside. The people of Paris preferred to stay inside where it's warm.

The chase went through for quite some time, both kept throwing snowballs at each other. Chat Noir had succeeded in hitting her with a few snowballs, which made him cheer playfully when he did.

"Chat… no… Have mercy on me…" Ladybug said nervously as she hit the door of a closed flower shop.
"You want me to have mercy on you after you had thrown a huge snowball at me?" Chat Noir asked as he came closer towards her and grabbed her by her arms.
"Please Chaton… don't throw me in this thick layer of snow. That's unfair to do…"
"I don't remember we made an agreement on what's allowed and what's not."
"Chat!"

Ladybug tried to escape his grip but instead of escaping she slipped, causing them both to fall down into the snow. Ladybug landed on top of Chat Noir, however she didn't stayed there for long as he rolled them over, switching their positions. Ladybug blushed as she looked Chat Noir into the eyes. Their faces were so close to one another's, so close that all she had to do to let their lips touch was get up a little.

"What's the problem? Cat got your tongue?" he asked with a smirk.
"No, but he might have it soon." she said as she moved her gaze up to the cantilever of the flower shop that was above them, she had noticed the small plant hanging above them once she laid under Chat Noir.

Chat Noir's gaze followed hers until it landed on the mistletoe that was hanging above them. A blush spread over his face as he looked from the mistletoe to Ladybug's lips, back to the mistletoe and again back at Ladybug's lips.

"Well… We shouldn't ignore a Christmas tradition, if we do it might bring bad luck." he said before he leaned in.

Ladybug closed her eyes as Chat Noir got closer to her and connected their lips together in a kiss. The kiss was soft. It was like Chat Noir was afraid if he pressed their lips together with too much pressure that he would break Ladybug, it was like he thought she was made of porcelain. Nonetheless Ladybug enjoyed the kiss just the way it was. She kissed him back softly in the same tender way Chat Noir kissed her, his lips being soft and quite addictive. Chat Noir cupped her cheeks with both hands as he softly slipped his tongue against Ladybug's lips, asking her permission to enter her mouth. Ladybug gladly gave his tongue access into her mouth and wrapped her arms around his neck. She played with his hair as their kiss got a bit deepened.

They broke apart after some time has passed, small clouds coming from their mouths as they caught their breath. They looked at each other into the eyes, both with a blush spread over their cheeks. They stayed quiet before they connected their lips once again in a tender kiss as the snow continued to fall down around them.
