"Have you heard the buzz?" Surprisingly, it was Queen Bee who had said this.
She'd sidled up next to Cat Noir with a half playful, half teasing smirk.
"QueenCat is nearly as popular as you paired up with your little Ladybug over there." Queen Bee gestured vaguely over towards the red and black spotted heroine just a little further away from them.
"Nuh uh." Cat Noir shrugged, doubting Queen Bee even as she pulled out her civilian phone and quickly went on to the LadyBlog that was just buzzing with excitement.
Alya had posted a question just last night, asking what everyone's favorite ship was for the five superheroes probably expected to just get TurtleFox and LadyNoir hints and yet it had blown up with hints of various other pairings.
LadyQueen was nearly as popular as LadyNoir and TurtleFox though right behind that laid the fact that QueenCat was right on its tail, quickly rising in popularity.
Behind those four pairing mashups however were TurtleCat and FoxBug and even QueenFox as they were currently being called; those three pairings were significantly less popular, but surprising enough to Cat Noir still adored.
He'd slowed down regularly checking the LadyBlog since it wasn't as regularly being updated, and the potential mesh of his civilian life with his hero one and the fact that he was currently struggling against attraction to two superheroine and one civilian wasn't really helping him out any.
Queen Bee beamed, "So we're popular."
Rena Rouge rolled her eyes, "That doesn't mean that you're actually together."
Queen Bee had a complicated relationship with pretty much everyone in the group of heroes, she adored Ladybug, but had since developed a thing for Cat Noir which was a little odd in their fox partner's perspective anyway.
She never did manage to get along with Queen Bee however since they both were stubborn and tended to fight often.
"But you're more popular paired up with Ladybug too." Cat Noir shrugged, but sent a distracted wink Ladybug's way in which he earned an eye roll.
"Still quite a few people think that we have a chance together." Queen Bee tried with a pleasant smirk.
"Focus on patrol." Both Rena Rouge and Ladybug spoke up in unison, surprising one another, and making the two heroes giggle.
Cat Noir shook his head with a grin, but did pull further away from Queen Bee who watched him go with obvious longing in her eyes before she hopped to catch up with everyone and let the conversation drop with relative ease.
She'd bookmark it later as that was the closest that she'd ever been shown to have something akin to attraction to her partner which only made her smile in glee even if chances might be slim.
