A Thousand Years

A Thousand Years | Ladynoir

"M'lady, wait," the black feline superhero took a tight grip of his partner's wrist as he breathed out those words with exhaustion interlaced with it—evident for Ladybug to hear despite of the teenager's lassitude state. 

Ladybug whipped her head back to look at him with a small frown, "What now, Chat?"

His heart dismayingly began to thump fast, leading him hyperventilating in front of his long-term partner in crime. 

"We have been partners for five years already, Ladybug," Chat's tight grip on her wrist slowly loosened, eventually letting go of her. "yet we have not told each other our true identities."

No, no, no, no! 

The red and black spotted superhero cursed internally, her bluebell eyes subtly twitching in frustration. Ladybug turned her heel to completely face the annoying black cat, "Do we have to?"

"Of course, Ladybug," Chat mumbled with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, but he still managed to deliver it smoothly—as if his words meant nothing at all. "and, why are you so afraid to have a reveal session, anyway?" 

"I am just really scared, Chat," she answered softly, her inner disconsolate thoughts bound together with her emotions which enfolded her intrepid and firm persona with a forlorn and unquiet aura that greatly contrasted her superhero attributes. "scared of what you would think of me after you see me in my civilian self."

"Ladybug," her partner pulled her into a tight, solacing hug as she trembled beneath his touch—electricity overflowed her veins as Chat gently held the sides of her head to plant a long kiss on her forehead. "I swear, I will never, ever, see you as a different person if that happens. Because, I know that deep down, you are still my little bugaboo who I continuously loved for five years." 

Ladybug cannot help herself but to release the thoughts that have been consistently bothering her for the last five years, "Well, what if you get disappointed if you finally found out who I am beneath this polka-dotted mask?"

Her bluebell eyes flicked with pure dejectedness as she continued to ramble about her nonsense pessimistic thoughts, "W-What if you stopped loving me, C-Chat?"  

Chat slowly shook his head disapprovingly, before looking at his lady with love and assurance, "Do not be afraid, my lady. I have loved you for a thousand years," 

". . . and I will love you for a thousand more, Ladybug." he ended with a genuine, loving smile.

I'm really sorry if my writing style is getting crappier after every one-shot that I publish here, I blame school for that.

Also, sorry for the shortage of story pieces! I was really busy for the past three weeks (and probably throughout the year, unfortunately) and I don't have enough time to write long one-shots anymore. :<

I hope you liked this short one-shot, and thank you for reading!
