It was quite peaceful without akuma attacks. The city of Paris was quite breathtaking with beautiful lights as I sat up along the Eiffel Tower, hugging one of my legs up to my chest while letting the other one dangle over the edge of the beam. The horizon was ethereal, fading into a gradient of orange, blue, and yellow.
Suddenly, a dash of black in the night raced across my vision, exiting as rapidly as it entered. I tensed and strained my eyes to see the shadowy figure. "Hello, M'Lady!" A cheeky, masculine voice said from behind me while making me nearly fall off the massive structure. Chat Noir.
I grumbled, but brightened as I turned around to see the leather-covered feline standing in front of me. "Hello, Chat Noir. Any Akuma attacks?" I asked, my eyes meeting his. A beautiful, blue sky meeting a green, breathtaking sea.
"No, everything is purr-fect right now!" He said, offering a flirtatious smile. Being on the receiving end of that would make anyone of his fangirls swoon, but fortunately, I am not one.
"Enough with the puns, please!" I drag out the word 'please', with a playful grin tugging at my lips as I rolled my eyes.
Chat Noir sighed and, for his sake and dignity, decided to change the conversation topic. "Well, it's lovely tonight. Sorry for interrupting you!" Wow, he was actually apologizing... He sounded a bit like Adrien, but it's probably just a coincidence...
"No, it's fine! Would you like to sit with me?" I asked and patted the spot next to me as an invitation.
Chat Noir gave me a genuine smile. "I would love to, M'Lady!" He said gleefully, as he strode over and settled down next to me.
After an hour or so of watching the city of Paris bustling around below in comfortable silence, Chat Noir finally spoke up. "What happens when we find out each other's identities?" He asks out of no where. Had he been thinking about that the whole time?
"I don't know, I guess-" I sighed, going into deep thought. For the first time, I didn't know how to answer the feline hero. What does happen when we find out each other's identities? Will everything be okay, or will it spiral into chaos?
"I don't know, but we'll be ready when it happens I guess..." I paused, but then continued because I didn't want Chat Noir to think I wanted him to know right now. "But right now is not the right time, I'm not ready, and quite frankly I don't think you're ready either..." I mumbled in a hushed voice, as if talking to myself. Chat Noir's ears twitched and flicked to motion that he had heard me.
Just as I was about to swing off the Eiffel Tower, I saw something quite unusual. I looked down at my hand, a red string was attached to my pinkie. My eyes ran along to string to find out where it was attached to. I saw the same red string tied around Chat Noir's pinkie, but he didn't seem to notice though. He was still staring down at the bustling city. I rubbed my eyes and when I opened them again, the vision was gone. As if it was never there in the first place.
I swung across town and leapt onto the top of my house. Sliding in through the door, the cushioning of the bed buffered the sound of landing. Spots off." I said, softly, being careful not to wake my parents. Tikki got thrown out of my miraculous, and she landed on the bed with a muffled thud.
"Do you know what the red string was?" I asked my kwami, pacing back and forth around my room.
"Yes, it's part of Chinese Folklore!" She squealed, making me stop pacing because I was so intrigued. I had always liked learning about other cultures and countries.
"It is said, everyone has an invisible red string attached around his or her pinkie, and on the other end of your string is your soulmate." She gave off a smile as she got to the best part. "So no matter how far or wide you go, you will always be connected!" Tikki squealed. From the moment I met her, she had been a hopeless romantic.
Then I finally came to realization of a single concept: is Chat Noir my soulmate?
