A Masked Getaway

Chat Noir

There are many moments in life Adrien wished he had filmed. Moments he would like to replay time and time again. Moments which would become core memories and times that would make him smile right into old age. And Félix's face as he flew backwards into the pool would definitely take a top spot.

He hit the water like a toddler hitting the floor mid-tantrum, the splash flying high and soaking himself and Ladybug. His fiery hero of a girlfriend stood over his cousin with steam almost flying out of her ears.

"You no good, lying piece of sh—"

"Woah!" Moving forward, he grabbed hold of Ladybug and pulled her back against his chest, watching as Félix resurfaced with a rather dramatic flick of his hair.

"What the hell did I do?" his cousin asked, swimming his way to the pool edge and preparing to get out.

Attempting to advance towards him, Chat Noir held Ladybug tighter, fearing for Félix's life.

"You know what you did," she said through clenched teeth.

Wrapping his arms around her even tighter, Chat Noir lowered his lips to her ear. "I thought you were over him?"

She wiggled again, and if he were face to face with her, he was almost certain he'd see her nose flaring. "How can I be over someone I've been getting under?"

In shock at her words, he let her go, causing her to stumble forward and land on top of Félix in the pool, taking them both under. He cringed as Ladybug resurfaced, spitting water out of her mouth at the same time as brushing her hair out of her eyes. Félix floated to the surface moments later.

Chat Noir wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. He'd just (without meaning to) pushed his girlfriend onto his cousin in the water after she'd figured out who he was and what they had done with each other. He didn't know whether to wait for her to get out and attack him or just throw himself off the cliff.

Finally realising he had legs, which meant he could walk, he rushed forward, bending down to offer a hand to Ladybug, only to be greeted by maniacal laughter.

She was laughing. The sound echoed through the silence of the area, growing louder and louder, and slightly more insane.

"I hate you!" she suddenly screeched, splashing quite the wave at an unsuspected Félix. "You're an asshole!" She splashed him again, her laughter growing more and more crazy with each and every tidal wave flowing over his cousin's head. Was she trying to drown him?

Félix fought against the water, sending a few of his own. "I only did what I had to do!" he exclaimed, covering her in a wave of his own attack.

"And what's that? Power up a psychopath with more artillery?" She sounded slightly insane, and he was starting to worry about what would actually come next if he didn't stop her soon.

It didn't take long for the attack to intensify, Ladybug placing a hand on Félix's head and pushing him down under the water.

Yep! She was going to kill him!

Not waiting another second, Chat Noir jumped into the water, trying to pull his girlfriend off the only member of his family he was (slightly) fond of. "M'Lady, come on, please!"

"No!" she said, an answer that he should've expected, yet he couldn't help the hope he would get through to her a little bit. Stopping her attack on Félix, she turned and sent a splash of water his way.

Moving forward, Chat Noir reached around her waist and pulled her back into his chest, holding her hostage and giving his cousin a chance to breathe. She continued to fight against him, pushing and splashing (and dunking him under at one point.) She was like a slippery eel, prying herself out of his arms before he had a chance to regain his grip.
