**I have to apologise for this before I write it because I know it's going to make me cry with frustration**
Somethings wrong with Ladybug. Over the last few weeks, whenever Chat Noir hits on her, or calls her his lady, she does nothing.
Like zilch.
And Chat is really confused. Especially when she calls him a cute name back. He feels his heart melt every single time, and then he gets a little annoyed. Why's she playing with him like this if she knows he loves her, and she doesn't love him.
Take last week, for example.
"Aren't we supposed to be on patrol, Buginette?"
"I don't see any supervillains out here. Don't go all Mister Bug on me now, Chaton." Ladybug grins, taking his hand. "I'm taking you to the best bakery in Paris, and if you hate it, we'll do an actual patrol next time."
"Hey, I'm all for going to the Dupain-Cheng's, but-"
Ladybug cuts him off by yanking his arm. Before he can even think twice, they're at the bakery, ordering pastries and sitting on the rooftops. Sabine and Tom look a little confused, but they dont say anything. Chat would love to ask what's going on, but when it comes to Ladybug, if you say something wrong, she's done. She'll walk away. Alya sneaks around, taking pictures, and rumours have been going around. Ladybug has not complained about a single one. 'Maybe she just hasn't seen them,' Chat thinks. 'Or maybe she's enjoying the extra attention'. But he knows her. She refused a seat at her own movie because she didn't want to make a scene.
Ladybug sits closer to him than usual, chewing on her pain au chocolat.
"I know I don't say this enough," she says, "but you mean a lot to to me."
Chat smiles. "You know exactly how I feel about you, Ladybug." He says, but deep down, he wishes that this was a date. Not just Ladybug craving a break from the stresses of being a superhero.
But he's decided. No more. The next time she proposes that they skip out on patrols to do something fun, he's going to talk to her. No more of the emotional turmoil. He's been dreaming about this his whole like and she's using him.
But tonight, Ladybug looks really down in the dumps, and he doesn't know what to do. He wants to take her somewhere fun to brighten up her mood, but he does want her to misinterpret it as something else.
So he offers to take her to Andre's. He doesn't know why.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah. I'm just stressed out a little right now. That's all." Ladybug sighs.
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright, Chaton. You can't help it."
Chat Noir is about to mentally kick himself for deciding to bring the topic up, but he has to tell Ladybug that playing with his feelings isnt cool, and he's not going to stand for it any longer. He's not her little boy toy, even though he can't say he hated the experience."I need to talk to you actually."
"Go ahead," Ladybug says.
"About all the outings and skipping patrol... I'm touched that you want to spend time with me, I really am. But I know you don't love me and you know you don't love me, so could you please stop messing with my feelings?"
"Messing with your feelings?" She asks, raising an eyebrow. He expected this conversation to go a lot of ways, but not like this.
"Yeah, all the croissants and the movies..."
"Chat,"
"And how you keep kissing my cheek,"
"Kitty,"
"What?"
"We've been dating for like, three months." He can't believe that. Three months? And he didn't even know? He knows that he can be a little slow sometimes, and he won't deny it. But he'd like to think that if they'd been dating for three months, he'd have some minor recollection of them agreeing to go out.
"What? No, we haven't."
"Yes, we have. You said, 'Maybe we should go on a date,' and I said, 'Yeah, let's do it on the next patrol.'.''
"You were being serious?"
"Yes."
"Oh." Chat splutters. Andre's just handed Ladybug an ice cream, and she smiles at it slightly. "But-I-we-you never-"
He's cut off by a mouthful of dark chocolate ice cream, and Ladybug laughs slightly. She can't help it. He's so...dopey.
"I'm such an idiot." He says to himself.
"You are. But you're my idiot."
And Chat can't argue with that.
Please, my poor weak ladynoir heart can't take it 😭
