Those Nights / Miraculous Ladybug fan fiction

Part 6

Heyo, guys! I'm SO SO sorry for not posting in a long time (I mean, two months, it's a lot for a person, who at first posted once in two weeks). Also, thanks A LOT for nearly 800 views!!! It really feels somehow unreal, like... I didn't think anyone would read it at all. THANK U❤️❤️❤️

"I... er... What I wanted to say, guys, is that I'm fine. But I'll have to take a break for a few days. Fu says that I need a rest"
"Well... We'll be waiting for you to come back"
Ladybug ended the call and closed her yo-yo. Cosmy may not be as close friend as Alya or Chat, but she still would miss her. Bluenette sighed. She knew it was wrong to feel that way, but she was a tiny bit happy, that Cosmy won't be around for a couple of days. She spent the whole previous night thinking about that strange feeling in her chest. Conclusions that she made, weren't satisfying her at all. It seemed that somehow, for a while before Chat went abroad, she started developing feelings toward him. And the whole month of not seeing him, only made them stronger. She didn't want to admit them, maybe because she was too stubborn, or she was just afraid of where they might lead, or perhaps she just couldn't let go of her feelings to Adrien. Either way, she was not ready to be honest with herself.
Another sigh. What should she do? Tell him? Nah, it's stupid, she's not even sure what is it yet. Try her chances with Adrien? She already knew he was in love with someone else. Ladybug remembered how painful it was for her to take it. Especially when she at first assumed it was Chloe. How stupid she was to thought that? Though her BFF hasn't stopped trying to set her up with him. Try to spend more time with Chat, to see where it will lead? Maybe.
The heroine wasn't even sure if she wanted to do anything about it. Another deep sigh escaped her mouth.
"Ladybug?"
Bluenette immediately turned to the speaker. She knew that voice. What was that girl doing here in that time of night? (Bet you thought it would be Chat)
"Alya?"
Two girls just stared at each other for few seconds, dumbfounded by the fact, that they met.
"Aren't you... supposed to be at home? It's pretty late..."
The bloger just shrugged, as she always did when it comes to something she weren't supposed to be doing. Ladybug smiled to herself at that.
"Wanna sit with me?"
The ombré haired girl starred wide-eyed at the heroine.
"Me? Are you kidding? Of course!"
Silently laughing, bluenette helped her best friend to climb on the rooftop.
"I can ask you the same question. Why are you out here in that time of night? Your patrols usually end a lot earlier"
Ladybug chuckled.
"You sure know a lot, don't you?" She turned her gaze back to the city. "Just thinking".
The comfortable silence felt over the two, as they watched rare lights shimmering in the night.
"I just... – Ladybug abruptly started speaking, – have you ever had a situation when you actually don't know what to do? And you don't have anyone to talk to, someone who'll understand?"
She was quite for a moment, before turning her gaze from the city to Alya.
"Sorry..."
"No, no! It's totally fine! I... You can tell me... it is if you want to, of course".
A small smile formed on super heroine's lips, even now Alya is the one helping her out.
"Well... it's just that I got a little bit tired of all that superhero's life... It's hard to combine being Ladybug and being my normal self at the same time... It's also hurts to keep it a secret, especially from my closest friends... Not that I don't like it, but sometimes it all is just too much..."
Unsurely Alya put her hand on bluenette's, slightly squeezing it. Another sad smile crossed Ladybug's expression. There they were, sitting in comfortable silence, watching the city. A blogger, who was so passionate about her hero, and a girl, who saved lives on daily basis, wishing she had someone to be her hero too.

"OMG, girl, you won't believe what happened yesterday!" Was the first thing that Alya said to Marinette at school.
"Let me guess, it has something to do with Ladybug?"
"Exactly! But you'll never, I repeat never, guess what exactly."
The bluenette only snorted to that statement, pretending to know nothing.
"So tell me, what exactly had happened?"
"Well, I couldn't have fallen asleep last night, so I decided to go for a walk"
'In like one or two am in the morning?!'
"Anyway, I was just planning on going home, when I saw her, Ladybug. And do you know what happened next?! She invited me to sit and talk to her, girl!!!"
At that, some students turned to look their way. Alya slightly flushed, but quickly regained her excitement, and continued on with her story, in more low voice now.
"And she actually talked to me! Like, you know, shared something she didn't even told her best friend! I mean, how legit is that?!"
'She DID told her BFF, since I'm Ladybug and you're my bestie' Marinette thought to herself, but before she could react to Alya's words, someone has interrupted their conversation.
"Oh please, who would believe your stupid story, anyway?"
'Chloe'
"I mean, even if you have that lame blog of yours, doesn't mean Ladybug even knows who you are. I'd prefer not to, besides—"
"That's enough, Chloe! No one cares what you think, so can you, please, shut up?!"
'Oh wow. Marinette has actually snapped there. Hope, I'll never get on her bad side' thought Adrien, as he entered classroom just when Chloe started pushing buttons on her. Speaking of the devil herself, she just 'humphed' in return and angrily stomped to her seat.
"Hi Alya, hi Mari!" He greeted as he walked to his seat as well "Do you know where Nino is?" said the blond model, pointing to the empty seat near him.
"Hi".
"Hi, Adrien, don't know, I was actually going to ask you the same thing".
"Oh, I see. Think, I'll call him at lunch".
They were going to say something else, but Ms. Bustier entered the class, with the bell, and started the lesson.
