Shall We Dance?- A Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction

Chapter 5 Special

Plagg snored from inside Adrien's gym bag. He gasped as the bag hit the ground and he was roughly jostled inside the container. Mumbling angrily, he flew up and unzipped the top a bit to eye his chosen and get an explanation for the rough treatment only to see him helping the blue-haired girl up from the floor. He recognized her instantly. After all, one kwami could sense another and he always knew that Tikki was close. Imagine his great surprise when she finally called out to him during a particularly noisy science class when no one, even their chosen, could hear them. Plagg's little heart started beating rapidly. If she was here then....

He quickly moved from side to side in the bag, looking for where Tikki could be hiding. He spotted it in the way of a pink, white-polka dotted gym bag on the other side of the room. Both of the humans were too busy gazing rather lovingly at each other (ugh) that he simply flew from the bag over to hers. He hovered just above the top.

"Psst, Tikki," he whispered. The little red kwami, his other half, opened her bag slightly and motioned for him to come in. There was no hesitation as he did so. It was dark but thankfully, Marinette had left her phone which Tikki used as her light; Plagg would've been fine being a cat and all that. She smiled and leaned over to place a small peck on his cheek.

"Hello Plagg," she said politely. He basically melted.

He leaned his head so he could nuzzle her cheek just like a real cat and she giggled in response. A purr came from deep in his throat. Normally, the little black god was more stoic but when his partner, his other half, was near him, he simply turned into a puddle of affectionate black goo.

"It's been too long," he murmured, returning the peck on her cheek she'd given him earlier.

"When was the last time we saw each other?"

"WWII. Right after they...."

"Shhh. You don't have to talk about it. I was there. I remember." He cleared his throat.

"Yeah. It's been a while since we've been needed."

"It has."

"I missed you," he whispered, curling his tail around her. Tikki snuggled closer. A gentle smile broke out on her face.

"I missed you too." He sighed, getting very comfortable for the first time in a long time.

"When are they going to figure it out?"

"Hmmm?"

"Them. Our chosen. It's obvious yours likes mine. I can smell the hormones on her every time she gets near and now that foolish boy of mine is just realizing he has feelings for her and...."

"Oh Plagg. You know it's never that simple." He grunted and curled even closer around her. She leaned back into his side, relishing in the feeling of him near her again. They fell silent and listened for the sounds of their chosen. They wanted, in reality, to stay wrapped up there forever, rules of the Miraculous be damned. They couldn't though and they knew it. The magic that bound them was far too great to ignore even for gods; staying as they were and revealing their chosen to each other would go against those rules and cause all of them intense pain. Something they shuddered to relive. So for now, they would enjoy the moment. Plagg purred softly and Tikki nuzzled herself into his side. The glow of the cellphone casted an eerie blue light around their little sleeping place but neither saw it that way. Plagg, he loathed to think, found it to be romantic which is probably why she'd turned it on. It was warm and comfortable and he nearly drifted off to sleep again.

But minutes later, Tikki was gently nudging him awake. "Plagg, you have to go. They're almost done." He rubbed his eyes and muttered angrily. She giggled, giving him another peck on the cheek to get him moving. "Hey," she whispered, "give it a little longer. I'm sure we're going to be together again real soon."

"Right."

"Seriously you grump. It'll all work out in the end. Trust me."

He grumbled again but returned the peck before flying out, "I always trust you. Until next time."

"Until then." She waved him good-bye with a smile on her face, all the while thinking, that the bag was just a little bit colder.
