As the leather clad heroine leapt across the roofs of Paris he noticed Ladybug heading to their designated area where they typically met. This was his night to be on patrol. Not her's. And yet that made him think and that warm feeling he felt around her. His mind was still on his own father controlling his life.
But knowing Ladybug, he knew that talking about their lives outside of their superhero selfs keeping their identities safe was all that mattered to her. He could keep a secret like he had for most of his life when it came to not telling anyone he was Chat Noir.
His thoughts cleared when he saw Ladybug sitting. He noticed that her black hair was included with dark blue highlights. And her pigtails held by red ribbon.
"Ladybug?.." he asked softly. Worry was in voice. Even if they may not know each other in their civillion selfs, it still concerned him how his Lady wasn't doing alright. A little off towards the last akuma attacks in the past week.
He watched her body twitch. She didn't turn to him. "Chat. You scared me."
"I'm so sorry."He hesitated to ask a question. "Are you okay?"
It seemed like forever when his Lady hadn't answered for a bit. But at least she responded to him which made him feel a little better. He sat down besides her as she responded to him.
"I'm alright, kitty."
That nickname. He loved that nickname.
He gently picked up her hand and brought it to his lips. Oh how he wanted to feel her real hand. He imagined it to be soft and smooth. And not have to feel the latex against his lips. He gently placed a gentle kiss for her.
To his surprise, she didn't pull away. Now that was unusual for his Bugaboo. Or she'll tease him about not identities and never knowing. That saddened him. He looked away from her.
He noticed how she seemed to notice that he wasn't doing alright either. It was his Lady before himself.
He then felt how gentle her hand were and at the corner of his eye, he felt his Lady look at him. "Ladybug...M'Lady…" he managed to say around her.
"Yes, Chaton?" she set a hand on his cheek.
He was surprised by this sudden touch. How was this Ladybug? But he soon remembered that he shared some moments with her on their nightly patrols. He looked down at her.
Tears were streaming from her eyes. It broke his heart to see her like this.
He pulled her close to him. Both of his arms wrapped around her and dared not to let her go. He looked down at her a bit more. "Ladybug. Tell me what's wrong?"
And she didn't respond. He felt her hands slide down to his chest. Her quiet sobs were all he heard.
He sat down with her still in his arms. Even, he loved comforting her. And she'd do the same for him. He also knew he had to be patient with her and not push so much. That would only make things worse.
The cat heroine simply waited patiently. The sound of her miraculous beeped. 'She used her lucky charm? When?' he asked himself. Then shook his head. He simply picked her up. "I won't look."
"Just bring me somewhere safe, kitty.."
He nodded at her simply command. Chat took careful precautions to make sure she was safe as he leaped from rooftop to rooftop across Paris. He honestly didn't like all the crazy fangirls all over him. His Lady was fine for him, but he didn't was to make his Lady to jealous over him.
And with this time, he had to make sure no one was following them. He simply jumped down where there were shadows and sat there. At least no one else was here. He looked up.
Pink and red sparkles surrounded is precious Ladybug. As much as he wanted to look, he didn't. He respected her wish. Even if it hurt him.
His head dropped. 'I don't need to bother her.' he thought to himself.
A few minutes passed and he was startled by a hand touching his shoulder. "Oh Ladybug, it's you."
She giggled. "Scaredy cat, hm?"
'Wait..she was sad just like a few moments ago. Where was I when this happened?' He looked at her and nodded. Unable to say anything, he took a hand of her's and kissed it once again. "But that's paw-sitively a good thing, Bugaboo. I feel so much safer with you."
She pushed his back gently. "You know I appreciate you as as partner, Chat, but I don't even know who I like anymore."
"Not even me?"
"I'm not even sure." she replied to him.
His cat ears sort of lowered in sadness. Now he felt like he couldn't express himself to Ladybug. The best girl in all of Paris. His civilian self was so boring compared to his flirty self of being a cat themed superhero. Though he didn't want his Lady to see what kind of sadness that brought him.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah." he lied to her. "I have to go." he turned away from her. Tears began to fill his eyes. He was so close, yet so far. "See you later, M'Lady." he jumped away. These tears now blurring his vision.
