Dark Coccinelle

Chapter 18 - Official?

Ladybug was jumping back to where Chat Noir was anxiously waiting for her.

She dropped down beside him, "Hey I'm ba-" he had pulled her into a tight hug.

"Hey, I'm okay, don't worry," She patted him comfortingly on the back.

He let go of her but placed his hands on her face, making sure she was really there, not some sort of illusion. Then, he kissed her, hard. He had been so worried, it was all his fault she got locked up into one of those horrible cages.

He slowly broke the kiss and stared deeply into her beautiful, bluebell eyes. They were glittering with love for him.

Suddenly there was an excited, "Aha! I knew it!"

The two heroes turned around in surprise but it wasn't another akuma, it was Alya Cesaire, the reporter of the Ladyblog.

Ladybug smiled, "Hello Alya."

"Hi Ladybug! Hi Chat Noir! Can you confirm that you guys are dating?" Alya came right to the point.

Chat looked at Ladybug with an apologetic expression on his face. Ladybug scrunched her face in concentration, then she turned back to Alya and told her, "Yeah, we are dating."

Alya squealed and turned her camera to face her, "Did you hear everyone? Ladynoir is official!" She stopped the video, "Thank you so much! Bye!" And she skipped off with excitement.

Chat Noir started apologising, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ha-" He was cut off when Ladybug kissed him.

"Shut up, Chaton," She smiled at him, "I don't think we could have kept it a secret for much longer. I have to go, my parents will soon have dinner ready soon. Bye, Kitty," She jumped off, back to her balcony, her pigtails swinging in the wind.

Chat smiled at her fading figure. Kwamis, I love this girl.

Once she reached the bakery, Ladybug detransfromed and pulled out a cookie from a nearby drawer.

"Here Tikki, you must be tired. Sorry for keeping you transformed so long," She handed her kwami the cookie she had found.

"Thank you Marinette," She started nibbling at the cookie, obviously hungry. "About what happened between you and Adrien..."

Marinette looked down, "I know we shouldn't have kissed, he was really scared... for me I guess."

Tikki nodded, "Yeah, I could sense he was worried. I think it'll be ok though," Tikki continued, "You couldn't have hidden your love for each other much longer and I think the gap is long enough between you and Adrien dating and Ladybug and Chat Noir dating."

"Yeah, hopefully," Marinette agreed.

"Don't worry," Tikki smiled at her chosen.

"Marinette, dinner is ready!"

"Coming Papa!"

The next day Adrien and Marinette were walking through the school together.

"So I guess we're 'ladynoir' now, huh," Adrien nudged Marinette teasingly.

"I guess so," She giggled at her besties creations, "There she is. Watch. 3, 2, 1-"

"Marinette! Adrien! You won't believe what happened!"

"What happened?" Marinette asked innocently. She secretly winked at Adrien and he had to stop himself from laughing out loud.

Alya had her phone in her hand and showed them the video she had taken the day before, "Ladynoir is official!" She squealed.

Nino was sitting next to her and waved to them, "Hey dude and dudette."

"Hey Nino," Adrien walked over to him.

"Come on, we should probably head to class, it's almost time," Just as Marinette said it the first bell rung and everyone sitting around stood up and headed to their respective classes.

The four friends walked together to their class and sat down in their usual spots and soon enough Ms. Bustier walked in and started teaching.

Alya had posted the video she took of Ladybug and Chat Noir yesterday and lots of people were looking at it. Not all of them with good intentions.

"So the bug and the cat decided to acknowledge the obvious love they had for each other."

It was a few days after the fight against the zoo keeper akuma when Gabriel Agreste was observing the video on his monitor, with Nooroo floating next to him.

He was once again in one of his "meetings". Nathalie had made sure his schedule was free so he had time to observe the development of the pesky, little heroes.

"You know they might become stronger because they are together more," Nooroo had the courage to speak his mind, but not for long.

"You think two children are stronger than me?" He faced the poor kwami.

"Nonono! Of course not Master," Nooroo shook his head quickly.

"That's what I thought," Gabriel eyed him coldly and continued to look through the Ladyblog.

After a while, he stopped scrolling and walked over to the painting of his wife, opening the entrance to his lair thoughtfully. "You're right Nooroo, love could be their greatest strength," He paused for dramatic effect, "Or it could be their greatest weakness."

Nooroo shivered at evil glint in his eyes. Little did Nooroo know that he wasn't the only one listening to Hawkmoth's evil plans.
