I call dibs on your heart [Miraculous Ladybug]

Chapter 2: Mixed up feelings

Chat Noir jumped from building to building with incredible agility, which made it hard to see him in the night. He was making silly movements and powered flips as he ran towards the destination. Ladybug had told him to meet minutes ago. Paris was quiet for the first time in a long time, It was surprising to see the city so calm. But the most impressive thing was that his Lady reached out for him.

  Chat Noir kept thinking about it... About his lady, suddenly feeling down again and stopping the energized flips from roof to roof. What if she was mad at him? What if she just reached for him to hurt him more? Communicating with the miraculous weapons was something kinda convenient in some cases. But right now, he didn't want to face her. Ashamed and hurt, he kept running in the direction that Ladybug indicated. Not sure why, but he wasn't in the place to mourn about his broken heart. They were still partners. He knew he hadn't had the chance with her from the beginning, he was finally accepting that.

As he got closer, he could see the silhouette of Ladybug on top of a tall building. Chat never wanted to run back to his room so badly, and he hated his house. It's like all the excitement he had some minutes ago was gone and replaced by shame. But by just seeing her, he felt horrible. Every step closer he took felt like a sting in his chest. When he got there, Ladybug turned around.

"I'm sorry for waking you up..." She said calmly. "I...I needed to see you."

That sudden sentence caught him off guard.
"W-what? See me?" Chat looked at her trying to see if she was serious or if it was just a cruel joke. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

Ladybug nodded. "Yeah. I think we left yesterday's conversation hanging."

"Yeah...we did."Chat looked around, nervously.

Ladybug smiled at him warmly. "I'm sorry for leaving so suddenly yesterday." she apologized quite sincerely " but your identity was at stake there. I wanted to respect your privacy."

Hearing that reason, made Chat annoyed. Frowning, he crossed his arms in discontent. "But I didn't care Bug...I don't care if you see who I am" his voice trembled a bit. "I trust you completely, you should know that... Do you trust me, my Lady?"

Looking away, Ladybug crossed her arms in discontent"Chat... You Don't know what you're saying. We must never reveal our identities." She tried to make him understand her point of view.

"Even from each other huh?" He asked, suddenly having a bit of an attitude.

"Yes Chat." She answered with a bit of attitude as well. "Even from each other."

They both stayed there in silence for a minute while looking in different directions and sighting at the same time. It wasn't long before Ladybug looked back at him. The moonlight reflected in his messy blonde hair and suit, making him look quite mysterious. He looked away while thinking, with his gaze focusing on the Eiffel Tower that shined from afar. Ladybug couldn't help it, she couldn't be mad at him. Anger didn't fit that dumb cat, she loved seeing him happy.

"I trust you." She broke the silence. "You're my purr-ner. Of course I trust you..." she laughed from her lame pun as she looked back at Chat waiting for him to ease up too.

Chat tried to hold in his laughter while failing horribly at it. Losing his straight face, he laughed freely. They both uncrossed their arms and laughed as the awkward air faded.
With his laugh making it difficult for him to speak, he continued. "You are such a copycat." Chat Noir's laugh increased, she couldn't help but get close to pat his head.
"Now that's the kitty I like." She kept laughing along with him without noticing her actions were making Chat blush.
"Like? Come on, you love me." He grinned, as he crossed his arms in a cocky position trying to recover his cool.
