[Ladybug's POV]

"Thanks, kitty. I knew you would get it," Ladybug said, flicking his bell.

"Don't I get a gift in return? Like...a kiss?" Chat Noir asked boldly. 

Ladybug flushed terribly. What's happening to me recently? she asked herself. I never used to react to him like this. Stop it, Marinette. Think about Adrien.

"Well?" Chat Noir urged, "Cat got your tongue?" He smirked proudly. He leaned down a little to see her face to face. Ladybug was frozen in place. It didn't feel like she could deny it anymore. I've actually fallen for him, haven't I? she thought. 

Ladybug rolled her eyes, trying to act natural. "You wish, kitty," she said, lightly pushing him to create some distance. She hesitated, lifting her hand, then thought, Whatever. I'll just accept it. I give up trying to make sense of love. Nothing makes sense anymore anyway. I'll just...go with the flow.

She threw her arms around him in a hug. Her heart pounded against her chest as she pressed her palms on his back. "Is this good enough?" she whispered into his ear, trying not to stumble over her words. 

Chat Noir was rendered speechless. He hadn't actually expected her to do anything in response to his usual flirting. He figured she would just reply with her usual banter. Ladybug began pulling away from him; she was too embarrassed and wanted to run away before he could come to his senses. Just as she loosened her hold, he quickly wrapped his arms around her, not wanting her to let go so quickly. 

"Yeah, this is good," he said equally as quietly, relishing in the feeling of being close to his lady. The moment seemed to last forever—just the two of them in their own world free of any responsibilities or expectations. Finally, the two of them separated, blushing and avoiding eye contact. Ladybug stammered, "W-we should— others to meet— I mean— To go! Us! I mean—"

Chat Noir chuckled.

"She's so adorable," he thought. 

"Let's go meet up with the others," he said gently. Ladybug nodded in embarrassment. The two of them used their weapons to get to the Eiffel Tower, where Spiderman, Sol, and Shadow were waiting in awkward silence. 

[Sol's POV]

When Ladybug and Chat Noir arrived where the other three were waiting, Sol immediately noticed the blushes on their faces. He gasped excitedly and began slapping Shadow's shoulder. 

"Ni—Shadow! Look, look, look, lo—"

The other three superheroes looked at him strangely. 

Shadow stopped his hand from hitting him again and subtly laced their fingers together. 

"Don't mind, him. He's a big fan of you guys," Shadow said blandly. 

[Spiderman's POV]

A big fan? I thought they said they didn't really know much about us...Oh well..., Peter thought. 

"So, thanks for all your help today," Chat Noir started. 

"Yeah, you were all a big help," Ladybug finished. 

Oh, right, Peter had a reason for being here. "No problem. Actually, like I was saying earlier, my team, the Avengers, came to Paris to help you guys out. They're waiting for us to meet up with them if you guys are okay with that," Spiderman said. 

"The Avengers? I thought you guys only deal with aliens," Ladybug said, clearly confused. 

"Then again," Chat Noir said proudly, "my beauty is out of this world, so it's understandable that they'd want to help." It was hard to tell, but Peter was sure he saw Sol smirking under his turtleneck at the Parisian heroes.
