Love And Lies

That night, it was Adrien's turn to have a nightmare. Instead of the usual ones where he was unable to save Ladybug, this one was different.

"No. What's gonna happen when one of us can't save Paris? What if we don't have a home to come back to when we come back? W-what if....what if everything is gone?" Her lip quivered and a tear ran down her face. She turned away from him.

This was from the last time they saw each other. The fight.

"M'lady it'll be fine. Besides, you know Shadowmoth's attacks have gotten less frequent-" Chat tried to console her.

"Or what if that's because he's plotting something bigger?" She yelled. The worry evident in her tear streaked face.

Chat looked down, at a lost for words.

"Chat...i-i just, I just don't wanna lose you or anyone else." She rubbed her arms like she was trying to warm herself up.

"M'lady, I understand that but-"

"NO! Do you actually understand, or do you just not see that family isn't expendable? Or is yours actually expendable?"

Chat stepped back. Taken aback by her harsh words.

"DONT YOU PULL THAT CARD WITH ME, WHAT IF I DONT HAVE A FAMILY?!"

She stepped back, regret and fear in her eyes. She mumbled something inaudible, then a series of heavy breaths came. She began having a panic attack. She clutched her chest and looked for a place to sit. Seeing as she couldn't very well swing off.

Chat looked at what he had caused. "M'lady, I'm sorr-"

"No, you-" she gasped,"don't feel sorry for anything when your akumatized, Blanc." She said and took another breath.

Chat looked her in fear and confusion.

Akumatized? Blanc? What?

She finally calmed down.

She looked at him with a glare so powerful it would have scared Shadowmoth into giving him his miraculouses. "Don't. You. Ever. Yell at me like that again."

This time all feelings disappeared except anger. "Oh, so you get to tell at me but I don't get to yell back? Looks like someone has a superiority complex." He quipped.

"Oh I have the superiority complex? You walk around Paris with girls all over you." She retorted.

"What's wrong with that? I'm a hero of course they would like me. Are you jealous or something?" He scoffed.

"Yeah, I am jealous. And I'm hurt. You spend so much time with me, and tell me your in love, but then you walk around with those- those whores on your arm! I love you, Chat Noir. But you must not love me enough. Cause now, I'm like the garbage you threw out yesterday."

Chat Noir hadn't registered Ladybug's words yet. "No, it's not about not loving you enough, it's about you being too late. Those whores you are referring to just know when the right time is, unlike you." He retorted.

"You are a narcissist, Chat Noir!" She yelled back at him.

"No, Ladybug. That's called self-love and confidence. You could use them sometime." He snarled.

With all her anger and frustration she punched Chat in the stomach. "You. Know. Nothing. You- YOU BASTARD!"

His hand went to his stomach. With the combined power of the miraculous, her hit was hard. And it hurt. "You know what, I'm about tired of your attitude Bug. Your right, I don't know anything." He paused.
