A/N: Listen I know the song I listed here is a break-up song EVEN THOUGH THIS DRABBLE ISN'T ANYTHING LIKE THAT but it's such a vibe and a brainworm and I've become a whore for CHANMINA. The majority of songs I list are just vibes and do not necessarily fit the drabbles' themes LOLOLOL.

Anyways ENJOY!

"Broken clock and compass

Don't let us grow up

We have a last kiss repeatedly

Oh I'm still here we never never grow up"

"...My Lady? A li-iiiiiiiiiiittle help here?"

Moving a safe distance away from the rampaging (yet pretty harmless enough) Akuma of the day, Ladybug turned around, following the sounds of her distressed partner and hoped that he wasn't caught in one of the villain's many traps. From the few that she stumbled across and fell for herself, the heroine assumed they were a magician-based Akuma; she did not appreciate falling inside the hammerspace of a top hat nor getting chased by an army of white rabbits and the sooner they could wrap up this battle the better.

(Not to mention that she and the girls were in the middle of 'Operation Secret Garden' - Phase #6543 when the Akuma attacked and she would have bet everything in the world that she would have landed a successful date with Adrien right there and then—)

"Ladybug?"

As soon as she found him, bafflement was quick to plaster her face and she almost wanted to question all the higher deities in the universe because no way was this her fate. For fucking real!

"What the? Again!? Chat Noir! Why!?" She stormed towards her silly partner, eyes narrowed at his (albeit, very nice) butt which was sticking out of a quaintly sized pipe along with his long legs. The rest of him was inside said pipe and the story immediately began to add up for the heroine. If she gained a euro every time he did something that warranted an eye roll from her, she'd be a billionaire by now.

"I'm so sorry! But I had to go inside it! I could have found something! I swear! Believe me!" He wailed like a little child, legs kicking pathetically and tail whipping against the metallic surface of his enclosure. Again, how are they the same age!?

"This is what happens when you zone out and use the cat brain instead of your human brain, you idiot!" Ladybug huffed tiredly but it was without any malice.

After all, it's not his fault that wielding the mantle of destruction for so long ended up giving him some very, very interesting feline tendencies.

And this was just one of the many.

"Just purr-leeeease get me out?" He let out a pathetic mew at the end, slightly melting Ladybug's heart without realising it. He could be such a handful at times but at the end of the day, she loves her Chaton the way he is and she would never, ever change a thing about him. Cat tendencies and all.

Oh well.

Just another typical Lundi morning—

"Ladybug!? It's so dark and scary here please let me out!" Oh shit. Less time appreciating her partner with his butt sticking out of a pipe and more time getting him out or else he'll end up drowning in a puddle of his own tears.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm getting you out!"

"—eEEEK!? NO HANDS ALLOWED ON THE GOODS UNTIL YOU'VE TAKEN ME OUT ON A DATE!"

"On the wha— I did NOT touch your butt I was grabbing your THIGHS."

"Nu-uh!"

"You know what? I'm leaving you here. Bye."

"NO WAIT I'M SORRY COME BACK! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!"

Ugh.

Cats.

~(x)~

'Don't give in. Don't give in. Don't give in to those stupidly cute, big, green eyes of his. Nope. Nope. NOPE. This is all on him. Stay strong and prove that you cannot be swayed by stupid, wet cat eyes!' Ladybug tried her best to ignore the giant kitten eyes that bored into her frame and the way the belt tail gently wrapped itself around her waist like a hug. 'I am not falling for this again! NAH!'

"My Lady~?"

'Nuh-uh.'

"Ma Buguinette~?"

'No-oooope.'

"Magnifique belle~? My ice lolly fell on the floor...can I purr-lease have half of yours? Hmmm? Your Chaton is very, very, very sad~! Look at how pitiful he looks~!"

'Damn him!'

Wordlessly, she finally met his stupidly cute gaze with a glower and handed him her entire ice lolly with a scoff, her heart totally not doing somersaults or fluttering with glee at his delighted mewl. She certainly, was not fighting off the urge to smile either when he greedily devoured the frozen treat like a severely famished kitten that hasn't had a good meal in centuries.

Nope.

When he peered at her with those glittering greens and handed her the lolly (a perfect half remaining on the stick), blue raspberry-stained kissable lips smiling at her innocently, she absolutely did NOT feel her cheeks flare up with warmth.

And this is why she hates cats.

.

"You can finish off the rest, Chaton. I'm already full."

"Are you sure? It's really hot today and your face is all red, my Lady. It'll help you cool down if you take a few more bites."

"I'm sure, I'm sure. Just have it."

"...It's not because this counts as indirect kissing, right?"

"Q-Q-QUOI!?"

"Then again, you've already kissed me like a million times already and we share food all the time so I don't think it's cos of that—"

"What do you mean a million times!? I've only kissed you like once or twice to break you out of Akuma spells!"

"Le Dislocœur, Oblivio, that one Akuma whose name I can never remember, Monsieur. Pigeon last week, all those times our lips accidentally brushed and probably way more that I haven't listed—"

"Oh just shut up."

"Maybe you should shut me up with your lips~"

"..."

"...Ladybug?"

"..."

"My Lady?"

"..."

"NO, WAIT! I'M SORRY! DON'T HANG ME UPSIDE DOWN ON THE TOWER AGAIN PLEASE I BEG OF YOU I'M JUST YOUR PAUVRE CHATON! I'M SORRY FOR MESSING AROUND AGAIN I WON'T DO IT ANYMORE! I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU SAY I SWEAR— NOOoOOOoOOOoOOOOOooooo…"

Once again, Ladybug wanted to emphasise that she hates cats.

(But no, not really. Never. This one in particular often gets on her nerves but dammit whilst she'll never, ever say this out loud, she loves him to absolute bits and sue her for enjoying their kisses too when the push comes to the shove during Akuma battles).

OMAKE

"I will never, ever, ever be mean to you about this ever again. I'm so sorry, mon Chaton…I don't know what came over me! One second I was fine and the next…it's like all my intrusive thoughts took over!" Whilst Lady Noire was a pinch close to bursting into tears, kitten ears plastered against her dark hair, Misterbug (who was lying underneath her) blinked his eyes as if he was waking up from the best dream he'd ever had.

The hero was covered in numerous bite marks and his lips were so red from all of that hot, hot kissing that it could have been mistaken for blood. He grinned like a lovesick idiot, hands on her hips and literal hearts bubbling in his eyes.

"If you stop now, I'll never forgive you." Without wasting another second, he captured her downright adorable 'mew' with his lips and switched their positions so that he was now the one on top and really, really kissing her.

Dieu, feline tendencies ROCK.
