Forgetting You

Chapter Eighteen

The male began to pace back and forth along the floor, with a hand in his hair showing how much he had thought about it.

"If we find him then who cares if people know us, plus then when you leave, I won't have to fight Akuma's all alone" he spoke.

The male slowly paused as he almost forgot who she was. At this point she wasn't just his lady anymore, she was something more paining and serious.

"About before-"

He slowly began as his pace came to a stop. He slowly leaned over the bars of where they were standing, looking down at the crowded streets, as his mind began to fill up once again.

"If I'm honest, I'm scared for you to leave. Not because I can't handle an Akuma alone, but because I'm scared that you'll find someone better. Better than me princess"

In that moment his heart raced as fast as his thoughts, as the wind began to pick up, pushing his hair in every direction. His voice showed honestly.

"But I also—don't want to hold you back. You are miraculous and can do anything you put your mind too. That's what I really think"

He slowly turned his head to glance at her for a short moment before looking back down.

Below was where André had been with his ice cream, showering happy couples with ice cream Galor. He watched as they hugged, watched as they were able to freely love each other with no restraints. No binds.

The thought alone, of having a normal relationship, caused the once love-struck male to feel alone even when next to the person he truly cared for.

looking at him pace back and forth, obviously stressed, she walked to the railing, and leaned against it with her arms folded against the cold bar. Looking over the city they protected together for years.

'If I'm honest, I'm scared for you to leave'

the first sentence she heard, she couldn't help but smile at it, who knew her kitty had turned into such a scaredy cat. She patted the rail next to her, for him to join in on looking over the sights with her while they talked about everything.

'I'm scared that you'll find someone better. Better than me princess'

her head turned to him, her heart pounded like it was being felt electric currents over and over again. Ladybug felt her blood boil, not from anger, or any negative feelings, but doubt, and sincerity. She continued to listen, about him calling her miraculous, and him not wanting her to hold back on exploring. The girl smiled at him.

then watching him observe the couples down below, grabbing ice-cream, sharing it, hugging, doing couple stuff together, acting normal on a love they never have to worry about leaving.

"i do the same thing too. i wonder what it's like to have a love, and not worry about the weight of the world on your shoulders, feeling free and enlightened with your partner, learning new things. "

she softly giggled, resting her cheek on the palm of her hand now. Looking at another couple, about to have their first child.

"Having everything ride the waves so smooth, with no worries, until you naturally get to the point of parenthood, surprising my future husband about having another little member to add, feeling the joy of being picked up, and experiencing all the wonders of having a love life, without worrying about anything at all, just to stay with that person for the rest if your life, and making them happy."

ladybug looked off into the sky, counting the starts, and the plane flying by. Before.

"I will never find anyone, better than you. "

"I do the same thing too. -"

The male turned his attention towards his partner for a moment hearing every word she said, trying to remember the sounds and tones of her voice. As if it was the last time they would meet.

Every word she said made perfect sense; the worst part is it was only the two of them in the city of love that did understand. It wasn't until her second sentence that he looked back down.

"Having everything ride the waves so smooth-"

As she spoke a small smile came to his face, one of wonder and wishes. All of the what if's and dreams made him chuckle softly. He just imagined how amazing her kids would be, with any boy she chose.

"That's the dream mà lady" he whispered softly.

As he glanced over, he could hear her faintly say one last thing, before the world fell silent once again.

"I will never find anyone, better than you"

In that moment his heart sank. With the realizations falling over him that they both felt the same, that they both hoped and dreamed upon the same star at night.

Slowly he moved himself closer to her throwing an arm around her, pulling her closer. Not in a sexual or romantic way, but in a more of a 'I know what you mean' kind of way.

As the night felt darker and darker, his emotions became stronger and stronger with each passing star. He let the silence sit between them for a long moment before speaking again.

"Let's make the most of tonight, before we start our hunt. How about I cook for you, like a real date" he whispered in her ear.

The cold had begun to pick up so he knew they couldn't be out there much longer, but also, he just wanted any excuse to be with her for the little time they had to be themselves before the worst came.

'Thats the dream malady'

God, hearing him whisper, his voice sounding soft, and addictive like a drug to her, him standing next to her, felt like a dream come true, she looked over at him, as if she was taking a photo to burn it into her head, to have and to hold, forever.

She loved this boy with every fiber of her being, and knowing she's leaving soon, to the US a crossed the world, made everything so much worse, she just wanted to be there with him, but she pushed back the tears she almost exposed. And listened to the city streets, and the people walking, talking to their friends.

That was, till this boy asked her on their first date, being pulled in by him, with a friendly gesture that made her heartbeat faster.

"Are you asking me out on a date kitty? You shouldn't have~"

she joked, before she nodded, agreeing to their small date, taking his arm off her, to put him in a head lock and to scruff up his hair like in high school.

Feeling himself get pulled physically and mentally, he never fought it. Even when they were kids. Her actions caused him to laugh. But soon enough the tables turned.

After letting her tease, him for a split moment, messing his hair, he quickly broke out of her grabs pulling her close.

"You relax those feet, let me do all of the Heavy lifting princess" he spoke softly against her ear.

The moment he looked at her face close up, his face shot red. It had been a while sense he was able to be strait in front of her like this, it had felt like ages to the male. For some reason it reminded him of their first interaction as friends.

He watched as the umbrella closed around the girl, and words didn't come out right. That was the moment he remembered where he fell in love with her.

The End
