░LADYBUG░

ꕤ Wednesday ꕤ

Days pass as I grow more impatient about my impudence of Cat Noir's voice mails. Not a sign of any Akuma and I think that... at the end of the day, I don't know him; he doesn't know me. So, I decide to take authority.

Standing at the entrance of the eifle tower late evening, I pull out my communicator and begin to call.

•<"Awesome you picked up! Listen, Rena, I need you to get in contact with Chat Noir and Viperion.">•

>•"Hey, I'm over on look out, What's up? Is... the black cat still not answering your messages?"•<

•<"No, more like look- besides that, Team. Meet. Up—NOW!">•

>•"Okay- Okay- girl, I'm on it!"•<

"Good, about. time. some people... show up." I say as exaggerated as possible eyeing a certain cat who's finally found his way back.

"Look- M'lady-" Chat Noir raises his hand and tries to speak, I intercept, "No... there is no looking, and no entitled moment for nicknames right now."

He puts his hand down. Viperion on the side taps his foot anxiously. Rena Rouge sways back and forth until she looks at me. "So, LB, what is this meeting called for exactly?" She raises a brow.

I scoff and grin, "Well obviously, if we've had a chance..." I look over to see Chat Noir skulking, then continue,"It would be... to discuss our future as a team."

Viperion speaks up, "And that would be?" He says sideyeing Chat Noir. I respond, "Well, glad you asked Viperion, say... if we're stuck in an emergency-situation again, where... Chat Noir can't be there, I would always like to have backup."

"Listen- M- Ladybug, I swear- I had no control over-" Chat tries to say as I cut him off raising my voice, "Enough said Chat Noir, I'm speaking to everyone at the moment!"

Everyone looks at me like I've gone crazy. I clear my throat settling down, "Ehem, I have been in a process to create a new app in our communicators. However, it is not yet finished. So, until further a due, I'll have to rely on you guys, to respond when told to do so—this was just a test, but... do I make myself clear?"

Viperion nods, Rena Rouge as well. Chat Noir, looks down but slowly nods. I speak again, "Good, that is all, you can leave now, I don't want... Hawkmoth to catch on that I'm building a crafty-team in an extra line of defense."

Viperion stands still, and Rena takes her leave. Chat Noir glances over to Viperion then back at me. "L-Ladybug." He hesitantly says.

I continue where he ended, poking around my communicator, "Whatever you have to say Chat Noir- it can wait."

He puts his hand on the back of his neck. Viperion steps forward clearly anxious as well, "Hey Ladybug, don't you think it's a bit cruel to be ignoring your... partner?"

"Cruel? Quite the contrary on which he-" I stop for a moment . . . Partner?

"What are you on about Viperion?" I say glancing back at him.

He glares at me, "Well, it's just that... I've already spoken to Chat Noir and I've even realized, it was out of his control. We've already met as a team... and I hope you should know... you're feelings are just as an important." Chat Noir perks up.

I look over. "I don't know what you're talking about-" I get interrupted, "M'lady! Please- he's right! No need to bury it under a bush, just... talk to me!"

I part my lips for a moment and crease my brows, perhaps... I should let go of my anger and listen... since- I haven't had the chance to do so. I look back at Viperion and he nods, then let's out a breath to part ways, "Well, now... I should be going too. See yah!"

I look from where he jumped off and Chat Noir steps toward me. "M'lady..."

"Chat..."

He continues, reaching his hands toward mine "I'm... so sorry for our miscommunication, I wanted to be able to tell you that I couldn't leave from where I was and- I misplaced my Kawami and I know it was an emergency but I swear I would've clawed my way out if... I could."

I sigh and tighten my hands on his, "No... I know we haven't had the chance to speak directly, and since the last attack... I think- Hawkmoth has been fresh out of ideas."

He sets out an un-startling laugh, "So, does this mean, we're good again?" He asks earnestly.

I lean forward to kiss him on the cheek bringing him in for a hug. "This means . . . we're—great, just don't... scare me like that again." I hug him tighter and I feel as his arms reach around my back and he responds the gesture to kiss my cheek lightly.

We stay like that for a few minutes and then hear as our miraculous start to beep.

We let go and then step back. I start to rub my arm and blush feeling a bit happy that we re-connected. Oh boy, the things I do to make this hard on myself... how could I try to let him go when he makes me so-

"I guess, I should get going, I'll... see if I can see you soon... bugaboo~"

I laugh, and reply giddishly, "Yeah, I hope I don't have to grab your tail just to get you to stay, thanks for bearing with me, kitten~"

He smiles and then waves jumping off into the distance. A few seconds later, I'm de-transformed. Tiki flies out and looks at the view with me.

"How long will you keep it up." She says coldly.

"I... don't know." I look back at tiki and she's as pale as ghost withered by the distance.
