"I can't believe you walked into a pole," Ladybug groaned.

Chat Noir winced from his spot on the floor as his partner pressed the ice pack she'd gotten against the giant lump on his forehead. "I'm just so good-looking that the pole didn't notice me," He tried joking, only to groan in discomfort as a ticked-off Ladybug pressed the ice a bit too hard against the lump on purpose.

"Idiot," She muttered under her breath, cutting off his protests. "Your weapon is literally a fucking pole, how on earth do you injure yourself like this?"

Chat scowled at her standing above him, but kept quiet. He couldn't exactly tell her that he'd gotten starstruck staring at her ass again. She'd probably kick his ass into next year in retaliation.

"Seriously, Chat," Ladybug went on, grumbling. "I thought I was supposed to be the clumsy one. What happened to you?"

"Since when are you clumsy?" Chat questioned, with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh god, don't even get me started," Ladybug muttered.

Chat chuckled. "Okay, Marinette Dupain-Cheng."

He felt Ladybug pause for a beat, and then—

"I... What?"

Chat looked up at her. "Yeah. You know Marinette, right? She's notorious for being the clumsiest person ever," He said, smiling fondly as he thought of his friend and classmate.

"Oh," Ladybug said, faintly. "Right. Right, okay."

Chat kept his eyebrows raised at her reaction, but said nothing as she finished up treating him until the ice was gone. She gave him a stern order to be careful and ice it regularly, which he agreed to with an eye-roll and a grumbled, 'yes mom' to which she smacked the back of his head and glared at him. She leapt off, probably in the direction of the bakery, and he debated shouting a remark that he'd see her tomorrow before deciding not to, knowing she'd probably get so confused that she'd trip and hurt herself too.

Whatever. He could mess with her more in class tomorrow when she'd be safely seated behind him, Chat mused to himself, leaping back to the mansion.
