The sky was dark with clouds as Marinette walked slowly through the deserted park, her posture slumped with sadness. For the hundredth time, the black cat was back on her mind, as he always would be, now and forever.
An inconsistant strong wind swept through the air as she quietly approached a pair of statues on a stone mount. In heroic postions, one in a crouch and the other leaping above, were the silent, inanimate versions of herself and Chat Noir, constructed by Théo Barbot so long ago. She stared sadly up at the smiling face of her partner, the boy she'd loved so much but could not have kept. She still loved him. She would never stop. No one was like him.
Her chest heavy with soundless misery, she took a hold of the top of the mount and pulled herself up until she was sitting right by his figure, then leaned back against it and sighed. The sound was quickly caught and lost in another sweep of wind.
"It's been so long," she said at last, her words directed to Chat Noir although he couldn't hear her. She leaned closer to it and kissed the statue's cheek, then put her hand over his and moved closer. "Where did you go?"
Of course, she received no answer. She'd done this so often, wishing desperately for him to come back, come back to her, and even dreaming that he really was. The worst part of those times was when she'd wake up and realize the miracle was fake. They made her cry. Which meant she'd been crying every single day since he'd been lost to her.
No supervillains had appeared since that day. She didn't know what had happened to Hawk Moth. She didn't care anymore.
She lay against it for a long, long time, as if the image of him really were him. The real deal, as he would've said. At that thought, all her favorite memories of him immediately came to mind. His jokes, his puns, his terrible comedic timing, and everything about him that she couldn't help but find adorable. Or maybe adorkable. He'd been a dork. Her dork. The positive thoughts briefly made her smile wistfully.
"I've missed you so much."
