𝓘t wasn't always like this, I mean... I had already fallen in love with somebody-else!

Cat Noir, he's only meant to be a friend to me but I guess . . . those confessions really did something−maybe not just the confessions, but getting to know each other... a little too much?

It's been months. A whole year and a half since we've started working together, and... I learned he's a great guy: he's strong, confident, funny (when he is not being annoying) and very strong willed.

So when did it start? these . . . sudden gushy feelings for him? Did it start right after my breakup? Does this mean that... while I can't only handle Luka, that now my heart wants to try Cat Noir?!

Unbelievable! why does my love-life have to be so... complicated! Does this mean I fell for three completely different guys? I must be really desperate at this point.

No surprise, Cat Noir and I defeated Mr. Pigeon. We captured the akuma, and amok. Tch, Hawkmoth needs to start focusing on someone else. Because it's been 71 times! and at this point . . . we don't even have time to put effort in de-evilizing him again!

But at last, Cat Noir and I are done fighting villains for the day. We head towards our favorite rooftop to relax.

I sit down and for a bit, we watch the sunset for a few minutes.

I decide to break the silence and start a calm conversation, "Ah- isn't this nice?" I say with a yawn, "We're finally done for the day!"

He stretches his 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~"

I laugh in response, "Yeah Kitty, I think enough is enough." I smile. Just something about his jokes, they're actually funny to me now.

We stare at each other for a moment, he proceeds to change the conversation, "So, Bugaboo . . . do you remember, our anniversary?"

I look over questioning, "Anniversary?"

He goes on, "You know, since we became, super-heroes? well, I was wondering if you wanted to . . ." He breaths for a moment, "Have a dinner-date, here, on the rooftop."

My expression became blank.

Is he asking me out on another date? But doesn't he know? I was dating someone...

I  sigh, "Look Cat Noir, please don't misunderstand, I'm glad that you value our partnership, but this really isn't something-"

He cuts me off, "I know, I know!" He stops then continues, "I'm not trying to force you, just, hear me out... don't you think we deserve to treat ourselves for all the hard-work we've done?"

I tilt my head. He continues talking, "I mean . . . look, Mr. Pigeon−no matter how many times he falls victim to Hawkmoth, we always make sure to bring him back."

He then smiles, "You and I, we're hardworking partners! So we deserve breaks, like anyone else! Paris always needs us, but I say sometimes . . . we need ourselves, so what do you say?"

Ugh! Cat Noir... when you put it like that, of course I want to... still, that doesn't mean I should.

I decided to answer this, "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. . ."

He perks up wearing a giddish smile, "I know . . . we're partners." He stand up, "So, it's a yes right?"

I roll my eyes subtly, I didn't want to admit it but... I don't think I could say no. Especially with all that went down with queen-bee.

I stand up too, "Yes."

He bows and says, "Purrfect~ I promise M'lady, you won't regret it!" He then extends his stick to yell, "Six pm, don't be late!"

I didn't want to say it, but I'm thinking about not showing up. I mean after my breakup, I don't think I'm ready to step into another one.

I couldn't even handle what Luka gave me! Much less, how am I supposed to handle another guy I've known for a while? It's best not to mess things up, especially since—Cat Noir, is someone very important to me.

Besides, there's no way he'll wait for me? Right? I'm sure he'll leave. I mean I could just... say something came up?

I head towards the shadows and watch Cat Noir from a distance. I'm still debating whether I should even approach him or not.

I wait another hour just as he's still slumped down in patience. Now I really am starting to feel bad. I notice the giant setup he made, it was like the first time he confessed to me seriously.

The guilt was taking over me, and I can't help but want to ignore my head, to pursue my heart. So I make a big decision...

I show up.
