He reminds her of something she saw.
A thing she saw just once-
Though precious and pure, there was a sense of sadness and longing lingering within it.
Perhaps that is why she is giving him a chance.
Seems selfish, doesn't it?
But the circ...
"What's an alleycat like you doing out here in the middle of the street anyway? Don't you have some world-saving to do?" I muttered, glancing sideways at Chat, having quickly become agitated and fed up with his constant cat puns. "Well, Purr~incess, my parter was supposed to pawtrol with me tonight, but it seems she bugged out and forgot," the black cat muttered, running a hand through his blonde hair. Oh shit. I mentally slapped myself. I completely forgot about the patrol tonight, but he doesn't seem all too distraught over it, so I guess...it's fine? "Oh..? That's too bad." I hummed, my hands clasped around the bag I held behind me as we walked. It was silent for a small while, the only sound being the leather smack of my bag against the back of my legs with each step I took. I blinked, holding out my free hand to catch a raindrop. I stopped to peer at the cat stood beside me, my eyes flickering over his body. "Chat, it'll start to pour soon. You should probably find shelter; cats hate getting wet, right?" He furrowed his eyebrows, tilting his head toward the clouded sky. "A little rain's never hurt anyone, right?" He said, sending a sweet smile my way. I hate to say this, but my stomach fluttered. A little. "O-Okay.." I mutter, casting my gaze to the ground. Damn cat.
We continued walking in silence. It wasn't necessarily comfortable, but Chat and I- or, rather, Ladybug and Chat- were used to it. However, today, it just felt.. different.
As the rain continued to fall, each drop heavier than the last, I sighed. Chat was trying to slyly bat the water out of his hair, and I could tell he was quickly becoming irritated. "Ugh. Here, stop for a second." I said, waving my hand toward him. He blinked, his head cocked slightly to the side as I beckoned him over. I slid my hand into my bag and fished out a familiar, simple, black umbrella. "Take this." I mumbled, clutching the umbrella tightly as I walked toward him. Unfortunately, my footing, as stable and wonderful as it always is, suddenly gave out from under me. "Whah!!" I thrashed out with a shriek, landing my butt on the hard, wet concrete. Before I could say anything, Chat burst out into a fit of laughter.
I blinked. That laugh. It was so.. familiar. Where could I have heard it before?
That's when it hit me.
