"Stay with him!" Ladybug said.

"But... Milady..." Chat Noir said.

"You got hit and won't be able to move fast enough." Ladybug said.
"He's getting away! Just stay!" Ladybug yelled right before leaving.

Without any option Chat Noir sat down besides Luka, careful not to fall down due to the lack of strength in his left leg. He grabbed Luka by his shoulders and straightened him against the wall besides himself.
Chat Noir noticed Luka's guitar plectrum lying on the floor nearby. When he leaned to reach it, Luka, who was unconscious, slid sideways. His head landing over Chat Noir's abs.
Chat Noir thought about sitting him up straight again, but decided against that because odds were he was going to slide down again anyway.
Chat stared at the plectrum for a moment, then his eyes fell on its owner. Looking up to the night sky, he sighted, placing his right hand over Luka's hair.

"You and Marinette get along so well,... I wish I had something like that in my life. Someone I could talk to during a night like this,... with this sky full of stars." Chat Noir said, unconsciously starting to play with Luka's hair.

"Ladybug... I had thought she could be that person, but... I've tried everything. I give her time. I give her the space she asks for, but still nothing happens between us. And now... I'm not so sure about my feelings for her." Chat Noir carried on while softly passing his fingers through the hair of the guy on his lap.
"It would had been awesome getting to know each other's true identities... Sharing that secret that only the two of us would know,... I don't know... maybe I am the problem. Maybe I truly upset her with the things I say, the jokes I make. We've known each other for three years now and I... I'm still behaving like the silly fifteen year old I was when I met her for the first time. ...I'm so stupid." Chat Noir said sadly.

"You shouldn't be so hard on yourself." Luka said, making Chat Noir jump in surprise.

"I thought you were still unconscious! Why didn't you say something?" Chat Noir said.

"Sorry,... it felt nice what you were doing with my hair." Luka said with a shy smile on his lips.
Chat Noir blushed.

As he sat up straight he noticed how odd Chat Noir's left leg looked, becoming more transparent towards his foot.

"Does it hurt?" Luka asked, pointing with his eyes.

"Nah, I just don't have strength on it." Chat Noir said smiling.

Luka touched Chat's knee with one finger. Then he slid it to the inner side and saw how he could see through the knee.
"This is so weird..." Luka said with a smile on his face.

He slid his finger slightly downwards and saw how he could see more clearly. Sliding it back up he could no longer see it that clearly.
"Seems like your leg is more transparent towards your foot and less the other way." Luka said.

His attention was then drawn to Chat Noir's hand, it looked tense. Turning to see his face he noticed how he was blushing and his eyes were wide open. He moved his lips as if trying to say something but nothing actually coming out. Luke then understood it had been inappropriate having touched his knee just like that as if they were very close friends or even more. Quickly he withdrew his hand.
"Sorry, I... I'm very sorry." Luka said.

Chat Noir tried to reply but only a squeak came out. He cleared his throat and then he was able to talk.
"No-" Chat Noir coughed. "No biggie."

Before they realized it they were surrounded by a heavy cloud of magical ladybugs.
"Finally my lady finished that akuma!" Chat Noir said, standing up.

Looking around they saw how all the damage had been repaired. Luka was going to say something to Chat Noir but he stopped for when he looked towards Chat he noticed his gaze was on him. Immediately Chat turned away.

"Umm... Well,... I think it's better for me to go. There are some rain clouds and we cats aren't very fond of getting wet." Chat Noir said smiling.

Luka smiled back and for a moment Chat Noir wished to stay. He wanted to stay and talk some more with this guy. Luka noticed something going through Chat's mind. Chat in turn noticed Luka's curiosity. Chat took a step forward, extending his arms to give him a hug, but then he felt too self conscious and thought a hug could be weird, so he quickly changed it for gently patting Luka's shoulder.

"Well... bye!" Chat Noir yelled as he flew away with the help of his staff.

Once back in his room, Adrien felt embarrassed and a little bit scared of all the thought twirling inside of his head. He walked towards a wall and lightly hit his head against it.

"What's the matter with you kid?" Plagg asked.

"That's what I'm asking myself. What's the matter with me?" Adrien said.
