But the word got out"

Pairing - Ladynoir
Prompt - "I challenge you to a duel!"

"I challenge you to a duel!" The ever so energetic Chat Noir spun his baton one handedly with a rare, surprisingly impressive trick, eyes never leaving his Lady's form with a smirk, and then slammed the baton onto the ground vertically to his side.
He puffed up his chest, white teeth gleaming with his trademark mischievousness which was quick to grow into a shit-eating grin as Ladybug scoffed and rolled her eyes. The heroine leaped to her feet, spinning her yo-yo with practiced ease, and made way towards her partner with a matching smile.
"You know you can show off your new moves and skills without having to spar with me," She quipped, halting the movement of her weapon and catching the yo-yo in one hand with a fierce grip.
They were almost chest to chest.
Her ribbons tingled from the close proximation.
And her enhanced senses enabled her to feel how hard her partner's heart was beating against his ribs.
Chat's head was lowered to meet her gaze whilst Ladybug's was tilted upwards to meet his, the height difference far more pronounced than usual.
Bright, lively emerald greens met calm, sky blue sapphires.
"But where's the fun in that?" The feline purred in a husky voice, his tail making its way to wrap around Ladybug's waist, meeting zero resistance from her and draped around her relaxed torso as if it was sentient being.
The black cat always claimed that his tail had a mind of its own, the boy himself having no control over it. However, Ladybug has spotted on numerous occasions that his tail was just like his ears and responded to his inner emotions.
It lashed when he was angry.
It drooped when he was upset.
It wiggled when he was happy.
And...
It wrapped around her when he was flirty or sought comfort from her.
In this case, it was the former.
Yet, she was more than happy to humour the silly teen, evident with the way her eyes glinted slyly and her lips curled up with coy.
"You're right...it's more fun when I kick your butt, hmm?" Without a warning, Ladybug sank down to her knees with swift movements and shot a kick towards his legs, tripping Chat Noir and catching him off guard.
The hero yelped but then rolled backward before surging to his feet and splitting his baton into two with a wild grin. The duo circled each other with glee, adrenaline and more rushing through their veins.
"Not bad, not bad, Buginette," He relished the annoyed groan he got from her and winked. "Wanna make this more interesting by bringing in stakes~?"
"Oh? Alright then. When I win, I want you to stop calling me Buginette for one whole month and to stop pestering me to watch that dreaded show, One Piece." Ladybug then snorted at the exasperated look Chat Noir gave, a peal of tinkling laughter begging to burst out of her lips as he muttered out things like: "People these days have no respect for the classics, I swear down..."
"Alright, fine! But, that's if you win, My Lady. As for my prize, I wanna have more of your amazing cooking next patrol, especially that yummy huǒguō and bāo zi you brought in last time," The boy looked like he was about to drool on the spot like a glutton but Ladybug couldn't blame him; she really outdid herself last time she made them if she said so herself. "And~" Chat paused dramatically.
"...And?"
"I'd like a kiss~"
The lovesick cat made an exaggerated smooching face and loud puckering sounds much to Ladybug's dismay, wiggling on the spot with his hands clasped together and pressed against one side of his face, dropping his batons in process. Like a typical, anime fangirl gushing about their 'Senpai'. Ugh, the weeb of a cat was a terrible influence on her!
Though, the idea of kissing him warmed her cheeks up in a manner that should only be caused by Adrien and not her goofy, silly, sometimes stupidly hot partner.
Noting her hesitance, Chat Noir cocked a hip to the side, resting one of his hands on it and using his free one to gesture as he spoke.
"Of course, if you're not comfortable with that, I can always change my prize to watching One Piece with me," He ended his sentence with a smile close to the devil's itself and Ladybug couldn't help but grimace visibly and pale on the spot. "All nine-hundred and forty-seven episodes of it, the four OVAs, the thirteen TV specials, the fourteen movies AND the episodes to come since it's still ongoing~"
No...
Anything but ONE PIECE.
That stupid cat has figured out how to trap her in between his paws!
'And he KNOWS it. Damn him!'
"Haha- no thank you Chaton, I'd rather kiss you instead." She blurted out but then flinched when her words caught up to her. Did she just infer that she wouldn't mind kissing him then? Was kissing the smug, annoying cat the lesser of the two evils?
Especially with those soft, sculpted lips of his and the hot warmth his touch left on her body from something as simple as grasping her shoulder?
"Hehe...then it's settled...LET'S DUEL!"
.
Chat Noir won the spar by only a smidge.
A hair.
A whisker even. (Only because Ladybug's ill timed clumsiness from her civilian side crept up on her at the last moment!)
But, he never mentioned where he wanted his kiss and ended up pouting like a betrayed toddler when Ladybug grabbed his tail and kissed the tip of that instead, leaving him hanging and tripping onto his butt when he puckered up his lips for some sugar.
Curse his damn luck and his big mouth!
"I should have just gone for the One Piece option instead of tryin' to get a kiss...dammit."
