Chapter Two: Princesses and Gargoyles
Patrol had gone as per usual for Paris's crime fighting duo. The two leapt from roof to roof, searching the city for any sign of danger, but the city was calm and uneventful that night. The only sounds were the patter of rain and of course Chat complaining about being wet. Apparently his cat like powers also came with an extreme dislike of being soaked. Ladybug couldn't help but chuckle at his cat like tendencies sometimes. Once she had even caught him fiddling with a length of yarn. The thought brought an unconscious smile to her lips.
"And what is making my Lady so happy, on this dreary night?" Chat asked joining her on the tiled rooftop. Well she couldn't very well tell him she had been thinking of him, not like he needed a bigger ego.
"I made a decision today." She said and her smile turned a little sad.
"Oh and would this decision have to do with finally returning my offer of a date?"
Ladybug blushed a bit and looked away, Chat couldn't help but be a little proud that he had brought that color to his Lady's cheek.
"No you silly Chat!" even though she meant it to be playful, Chats heart gave a painful twinge in his chest.
"I decided…I decided that I'm going to give up on my love." She said her smile turning sad again. This was not what Chat was expecting, her love? But she said she was giving up…maybe this means he would have a chance with her after all!
"You see I've liked him for a long time now and although we are friends, its obvious he'll never see me the way I see him." Even though it was raining out Chat could have sworn he saw a tear roll down his Lady's cheek. Chat felt an uncharacteristic anger welling up inside him. Who did this guy think he is? The thought that anyone could possibly reject someone as lovely and brave and strong as Ladybug was, well, unfathomable. Chat moved beside Ladybug and placed a gloved hand gently on her shoulder.
"Listen is sounds to me like this guy is a serious jerk-"
"But that's the thing. He's not. I wish he was maybe it would make it easier but…he's one of the kindest and respectable guy I know." She said quietly not meeting his eyes. Chat didn't have a response to that no matter what she said she was obviously still in love with this guy and once that dunce figured out just how great she was… This whole situation was painfully similar to his own with Ladybug.
"But anyway..." she said finally looking up, the sadness was gone from her expression, "We should end patrol early tonight. There's no sense in us catching sick from the rain."
"If you say so my Lady." sighed Chat, Ladybug gave a little wave then sprang off into the night.
"Guess I should be heading home…" Chat said to no one in particular, then he turned ready to take his normal route home. For some reason even at this late hour, he was wide-awake. He and Ladybug had finished their patrol early tonight and its not like there was anything waiting for him at home. Might as well take the scenic route.
Chat headed towards the spines of Notre Dome. The gargoyles didn't look as menacing as the stories made them out to be, in fact with the water pouring down their stone snouts, they seemed almost…sad. Out of the corner of his eye Chat saw an odd sight from the other side of the river. It was Marinette! What on earth was she doing out at this hour in the pouring rain? Chat pulled out his baton and used the screen to zoom in on the now soaked girl. She seemed to be struggling with the latch of her balcony door. Well he couldn't just leave her out there; he straightened up and gracefully dove off the roof. Better the company of princesses than gargoyles anyway.
