Unexpected Kiss

Unexpected Kiss - LadyNoir One-shot

It was around midnight, Ladybug and Chat Noir finished fighting yet another Akumatized victim. Luckily, they got out alright. A scratch here and there, nothing that bad!

It was after the fight, however, where someone took a bit of a tumble.

Chat Noir sprung from his stick. "Another day, another Akuma down!" It was like he and Ladybug were dancing in the night, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. "You were spectacular tonight as usual M'lady! What you did with the Lucky Charm really blew my mind! I would've never guessed to do that!" He said, as they landed on a rooftop to rest.

"That's why I'm the one with the Ladybug Miraculous." Ladybug laughed as she surveyed the area, looking for anything out of usual. He was about to check the other side of the building when his ring started beeping. 4 Minutes left, he had to go.

"As much as I'd love to stay and chat, M'lady, but my time is nearly up." He got out his stick and waved. "Until we meet again!" He watched as Ladybug waved back and turned to leave. He extended his stick and jumped, when suddenly he felt a pull on his waist, and started to fall. Chat quickly looked back, and his tail was caught on something!

"Shit!" He yelled out and tried to grab onto the ledge, but unfortunately missing. Ladybug turned towards him again, and gasped.

"Chat Noir!" She ran to catch his hand, but he was too far down. She fiddled with her yo-yo to catch him, but in her panic she dropped it in the process. "Come on, come on, come on!" she was mumbling as she grabbed for it. She properly grasped it and threw it towards him, but it was too late. She heard a thump and a groan.

Ladybug winced and jumped down to him, using her yo-yo to break her fall. Running over to him, she called out. "Chat Noir! I'm so sorry I didn't catch you. Are you ok? Anything broken?" She pulled him into her lap, looking him over. Chat smiled at her.

"It's ok, Bug." He said as he tried to sit up. "I don't think so. It hurts everywhere, but -- Hhck!" He grabbed his ankle and groaned in pain. Ladybug hovered her hand over it and looked at Chat for permission, to which he nodded. She couldn't feel well because of the suit, but his ankle was throbbing, and judging by the wince of pain Chat let out, it wasn't good. Carefully, Ladybug tried moving her partner's ankle around gently, and that was when she knew it was definitely broken. She let go as Chat shook his head.

"Yeah, your ankle is broken." She looked down in thought. "What do you want to do? I can let you and your Kwami rest for a moment and take you to the hospital if you want?" Ladybug suggested. Chat shook his head.

"We can't take the suits off while transformed, remember?" he frowned. "Besides, I snuck out. If my dad knew I snuck out in the middle of the night, he'd definitely lock my windows out up, or worse."

"Yikes," Ladybug winced. "He sounds strict. Maybe that wouldn't be best..." She thought for a moment. Before she could get her words out, Chat spoke up.

"I can probably still make it home myself." He said as he tried to get up, but his leg immediately buckled the second he put pressure on it. Chat groaned as he fell into Ladybug's arms again. She sighed.

"Clearly not." After a moment, she spoke again. "As much as I'd rather not learn the area you live, I also don't want to leave you alone. Why don't I take you to your street, or somewhere nearby, so you won't have to be on your foot that long?" Ladybug suggested. Chat hummed, and nodded.

"That seems fair." Then he smiled and spoke with a teasing tone. "You sure you don't take me home? Since you're the guardian, isn't it right you know just who is wielding the Cat Miraculous?"

She laughed. "As much as I'm dying to know, it's better this way." She giggled when Chat pouted and picked him into her arms. "Someday, I promise. Now, are you ready?"

Chat grinned, "Of course, Bugaboo!" At that moment, both their Miraculous beeped again. 2 minutes to go. Chat just laughed, "Why don't we let them recharge? We'll probably transform before we get to my street." Ladybug laughed too and nodded, setting him down and running behind the dumpster nearby.

With a matter of minutes, and both Kwamis fully recharged, Ladybug picked Chat up into her arms again, and they were on their way.

------------

After 10 minutes of Chat directing Ladybug to his street, he patted her shoulder and pointed to a rooftop. "There should be good." She nodded and leaped towards it. "Ahh, what a shame we must depart," He sighed dramatically. "I had fun being in M'lady's arms..." She scoffed but didn't reply. Huh. Usually Ladybug would say something back, maybe she was just tired tonight. He did however catch a small blush on her cheeks, however it disappeared as fast as it appeared.

She landed on the roof with grace, and looked at Chat. He noticed and grinned. "Staring at my handsome face? I know, I know, I'm so irresistible, huh?" She laughed at that, but instead asked,

"How will you explain this to your father? You mentioned he's very strict, right?" Chat nodded, so she continued. "You can't just wake up with a broken ankle."

"That's true..." Chat hummed in thought. "Maybe I could say I was going downstairs for a glass of water and fell down the staircase?" He nodded again. "Yeah, that way I probably won't have to wait til morning to go. My father may be strict, but it's because he's overprotective of me. If he found out I was hurt, he'd have his assistant take me to the hospital right away."

"Assistant?" Ladybug asked, then realized. "Oh wait! Never mind, don't answer that." she said quickly, shaking her head. Chat just laughed.

"Ooh, sounds like someone forgot about the identity rule!~" He said in a sing-song voice. Ladybug slapped his shoulder playfully. "I know my life is very interesting Bug, but you know we can't do that!" Ladybug had to admit though, Chat kind of reminded her of someone. Maybe it was.... Ah well, as intrigued as she was, she may as well not look into it. Ladybug was about to put him down, when she saw the look on his face. He was grinning ear to ear.

"But you know Bugaboo," Chat Noir continued. "When the two main lovers in shows are in this position, it usually ends with a kiss." He leaned up, puckering his lips. "Don't you think it would be appropriate to end our little tryst with a bang?" He knew that he didn't actually have a chance of Ladybug complying, teasing her was just so fun!

However, he heard her chuckle, and then.

"Yeah, they do, don't they?" Suddenly, she brought him closer to her, their faces inches away from the other. "Not a bad suggestion, Kitty."

Wait, what?

Did she?

WHAT?!?

"Wait, Ladybug. What did you--" He couldn't say anymore, because to his surprise, her lips caught his mid-sentence.

And oh...

Oh...

She... Ladybug was... She was actually...

Ladybug was actually kissing him....

Oh...

Oh no...

He is never going to flirt with her again...

He didn't even get to kiss her back when she pulled away, her face a deep shade of red (his face probably just about the same). She set him down, making sure he was putting pressure on his good foot, and without another word she zipped away into the cold night.

It was like Chat was in a trance... 'Did that... Did that really just happen...' He brought his hand up to his lips, the feeling of hers still lingering. He couldn't stop thinking about it. What did this mean, was she falling for him now? The boy looked up and tried to go after her. He took a step in her direction--

"Fuck!" Chat groaned as he nearly collapsed.

Oh, yeah. His ankle is broken. Forgot about that.

He'll have to talk to her next time he sees her. Enduring his pain, he went home, sure he was going to be on Cloud 9 for the rest of the week.
