Miraculous Oneshots and Drabbles

Backfired - LadyNoir

Three years. It had been three years since the day she received her miraculous. A lot had happened over the course of those three years and she would never forget any of it.

But there was one thing that she now knew for certain, something that had been slowly creeping up on her throughout these magical years: she had fallen in love with her partner, Chat Noir.

Marinette couldn't deny it any longer; it was just too obvious at this point. Her heart aches for him, and she found herself thinking about him more often during the day.

So, as she swung away via her yo-yo to meet him on patrol for the first day since she had admitted her true feelings to herself, she felt a whole slew of emotions.

She felt joy at the thought of seeing him, anxiety at the thought of having to talk to him (She stuttered around Adrien, so what was she going to be like around Chat?!) and sadness at the thought that he may not even be in love with her anymore.

Ladybug swung through the air, flying over Paris and waving to the civilians on the streets below.

She spotted a dark figure zooming through the air not too far away, already recognising the person to be Chat Noir.

"Chat!" Ladybug shouted, catching his attention. She landed on a nearby rooftop, Chat Noir joining her a few moments later.

"Good evening M'Lady, how are you feeling on this purrfect evening?" He punned and winked at her. She froze on the spot, blood rushing to her cheeks.

"I-I." She began to stutter but found that her words became caught in her throat. Why did she have to stutter around the boys she liked?

"What is it M'Lady? Cat got your tongue?" He teased and leant forward with his hands resting on his staff, grinning at her as she became more flustered than before.

She took a few deep breathes as she tried to compose herself so that she could utter a single sentence.

That's when the idea hit her.

If he was going to keep on flirting with her like this, why shouldn't she tease him back? The sentence may end up being stuttered but at least she'd be making an attempt with this crush rather than hiding away like she did with Adrien.

"W-what if I kissed you right now?" She boldly asked, her voice wavering slightly at the start of her question.

Chat Noir's eyes widened and his hands slipped, causing him to almost fall over and land face first on the roof. Thankfully, he managed to catch himself before he could do that.

Moments later, the shocked expression became a smirk once again as she walked towards her and leaned forwards towards her face.

"I wouldn't mind that." Chat flirted back, the ever-present smirk still adorning his face.

Ladybug froze in shock as her idea backfired on her. She paced a few steps back, her hand absentmindedly reaching for the yo-yo wrapper around her waist.

"I-I, er." She stuttered, not quite knowing what to say. "Gotta go bye!" Ladybug shouted as she flung her yo-yo out and swung away.

Maybe one day she'd be able to withstand his flirting, but today was not that day.
