Superheroes & Sweethearts

My feet pound against the rooftops as I run towards the Eiffel Tower, clouds of smoke cover the sky and debris crashes loudly against the streets below. Being Ladybug definitely helps keep me active, that's for sure.

There's a thump beside me, "Hello m'lady." Chat grins down at me. 

I grin and roll my eyes, "Kitty." Is the only greeting I give, keeping it quick, I hand him the beginning string of my yo-yo as I go left, and he goes right. Chat uses his buton as I swing with the yo-yo, brushing past each other as we wrap the cord around the giant villain, tying him to the tower. 

I go to move towards the villain's staff in an effort to break it, but as he struggles against the wire bounding him, I get struck, and I feel myself falling. My limbs feel small, my scream more high pitched, my movements limited. 

Just as I squeeze my eyes shut and brace for impact, I'm caught, lifted back up into the air and the steadied. 

Then, chat holds me out in front of him, and he.. he seems so large. Or I feel small.

His eyes widen, and then he presses his lips together, then laughs. Hard. I gape at him. "Chat!" I yell, and my voice is squeaky. I look down at myself. I've been turned into a baby, or well, more like a toddler. My suit still fits, but it looks like I'm wearing Ladybug themed pajamas or something.

He's still laughing, and I try to smack him, to fight out of his grasp. My efforts don't work. "Will you cut it out!" I shout, thrashing in his large hands. 

"Sorry, sorry." He says, but I know he is anything but sorry. I glare as he pulls me into him, his arm under my bottom, his other hand resting on my back. He's so warm. "Do you know where the akumatized object is?" He looks down at me. I continue to glare at him, and then he stifles a laugh once more, looking away from me for a second. "Sorry." His voice is tight, obviously holding back laughter.

"The staff." I point with my tiny finger.

He nods, pushing off the building and holding me tightly to his chest. It doesn't take long for Chat to use his cataclysm on the staff, the giant shrinking back down to normal size, my yo-yo coming free and falling into Chat's hand. He captures the akuma for me, since my tiny arm's can't throw as far. 

I do manage to release the butterfly, and revert the damage though, breathing a sigh of relief as I return to my normal, adult size. Chat's arms are still tight around me in a protective hold, until I take a step back. We help the victim, and once they're recovered, I look to Chat.

His smile is cocky, and I resist the urge to throw my yo-yo at his head.

"You were a cute kid." He says, leaning against his staff. I roll my eyes, and he laughs. "Until next time m'lady." He gives me a small bow, then pushes into the air and away from me. I watch his retreating figure, then head off in the opposite direction, my heart still pounding from the closeness to Chat Noir, my cheeks and ears burning with my blush as I replay the way he held me, his arms around me, the warmth of his chest.
