𝓓𝓞 you ever get the feeling that when you're with someone, it just doesn't . . . feel right? Well, I know for sure that I have. There was this girl, Kagami, I was . . . dating for months, but . . . she recently broke up with me. I thought things were going well, but turns out, that was far from the truth. To sum it all up, she didn't want to be taken lightly anymore, and it was so difficult for me to take the next step in our relationship when I'm still hung up on someone else.

Who am I hung up on? Ladybug, and I've had the largest crush on her ever since we started working together. No, more like I fell in complete love with her and everything that she is—no matter how many times I try to hide it—I can't just . . . forget about her.

So I realized after a bit, that I wouldn't have been able to return Kagami's feelings in the end, and I feel as now our breakup was necessary to find someone better for her, because I truly think that she deserves someone who will treat her right.

But, what would you do: would you rather keep living a lie in peace and be secretly crushed by the guilt of never letting the other person know how you really feel so you act fake? Or face the hard truth and ruin something immediately hurting the other person without taking time to understand them? So you can kinda guess that's It's difficult, no, extremely difficult, to just . . . get rid of these feelings! So tell me−is falling in love . . . really worth it?

Just another day in Paris, Mr Pigeon got akumatized again−it's been what? the 71th time! anyways, his power ups never really change, because you know . . . they're always pigeons! I mean gosh I get that he must get angry a lot, but honestly! Ladybug and I . . . have gotten so used to it, that we revert him back into his civilian form in less than 3 minutes!

But on the side note, I know I'm not in a relationship anymore, so I was thinking of pursuing my real feelings and since our anniversary as super-heroes is coming up, I could finally have more courage to ask her on a date! All though, I know she'll most likely reject me saying the same exact speech, "We're superheroes not lovers! We can't reveal our identities—we can't be in love! Besides, you know I'm in love with someone-else . . ."

'Mr-someone-else' why must you get in my way! If only it wasn't that difficult for her to just . . . accept ME. Honestly, I wonder who it is, who really has her heart? Because if I can't, then how did this person manage to steal her before I even got the chance! Well, I shouldn't think too much about it, now that Ladybug and I are finally done fighting villains for the day . . . we head towards our favorite rooftop to relax.

Ladybug sits sluggishly down as I follow. We watch the sunset for a few minutes while I look over to try to to slip in a couple words. But, she beats me to it, as always~

"Ah- isn't this nice? We're finally done for the day!" She says drastically with a yawn.

I stretch my arms out in response, "Oh yeah! The thought of Hawkmoth not getting enough of tormenting us with evil pigeons is terrifying! But at least, the day is done so no more terrorizing our innocent souls~"

She giggles in response, "Yeah kitty, I think enough is enough." She smiles.

What? That's weird? She never laughs at my jokes . . . It's starting to make me . . . really happy.

We stare at each other for a moment, I proceed to change the conversation, "So Ladybug . . . do you remember our anniversary?"

She looks over, "Anniversary?"

I go on, "You know, since we became super-heroes? well, I was wondering if you wanted to . . . have a dinner date on the rooftops." I look over a bit nervous, "At the place... we always go to sometimes, to maybe . . . celebrate a little?"

She paused for a moment and sighed, "Look Cat Noir, please don't misunderstand, I'm glad that you value our partnership, but this really isn't something-"

I cut her off, "I know, I know! I'm not trying to force you, but don't you think we deserve to treat ourselves for all the hard work we've done? I mean . . . look at Mr Pigeon−no matter how many times he falls victim to Hawkmoth, we always make sure to bring him back! You and I, we're a hardworking machine! So we deserve breaks like anyone else! Paris always needs us, but I say sometimes . . . we need ourselves, so what do you say?"

She gives me a very inquiring look developing her thoughts, but she proceeds to reply, "Alright, you got me there Kitty, but only for one night! I don't want to be out there too long, and no funny business okay? Because you know what I'm going to say. . ."

I perk up, "I know . . . We're partners." I look down and then look back over and stand up, "So it's a yes right?"

She stands up too, "Yes . . ."

I bow out of response, "Purrfect~ I promise M'lady, you won't regret it!" I extend my stick and yell,  "6:00 pm don't be late!" I quickly head home excitedly anxious to tell Plagg the big news.

—————— ☾✦——————

I enter my bedroom through my window. "Plagg—CLAWS IN!" I hold a thick slice of camembert in the palm of my hand and start summarizing my day talking about what happened.

"Ah, can you believe it Plagg? she accepted my invitation!" I blush from happiness.

Plagg takes a huge bite from the cheese and starts talking with his mouth full, "Woah—shocker, but you know she doesn't feel the same right? you can't keep confessing your proclaimed love for her all the time . . ."

I respond,"But this isn't like every other-single-time Plagg, it's different! It feels different, she seems to enjoy my company, and she seems to really want to talk to me! Pfft- besides, what can go wrong if I just take another shot?"

He glares at me, "What can go wrong—Kid, is that she still doesn't have feelings for you, and she could just be trying to be nice since she's rejected you a lot . . ."

I look at him with tons of determination and scoff, "That doesn't make any sense, wouldn't she be more distant? I mean, I really do think I have a chance and . . . If things finally workout, I'm going to make sure I treat her right!"

Plagg considers this, "Well if you say so, I just don't want you to get hurt."

I chime back, "And I won't get hurt again—I already have, so please . . . can you just trust me on this?" I look at him still smiling from my childish warmth of hope.

He finishes his cheese, "I guess . . . so, but please . . . make sure to take care of yourself if things don't work out the way you want them to, you never know when someone doesn't treat you the way you treat them."

I nod, "Of course I will Plagg! what can I say, I am the Cat's Meow~" I walk over to my bed and lay there and daydream.

"Right . . ." Plagg slowly floats off somewhere. I couldn't bother to really care where he's going, because all I can see is the: Lady-Of-My-Dreams~
