Ladybug stood on the top of the roof of the Notre-Dame. The chilly wind blew through her hair lightly as she looked at the Parisian streets that were decorated with different kinds of Christmas lights. She was waiting for her partner to arrive for their weekly patrol together. Even though it has been a week, Ladybug already missed his company.

She had looked forward to it quite a lot to be out there running over roofs again with Chat Noir. Those patrol days were the days they were able to chat a bit more about their lives, of course without revealing too much details. It was nice to have a day like that where they could meet up and get to know each other a bit more without the stress that came with dealing with Hawk Moth and his Akuma's.

"Good evening my lady." Chat greeted as he landed next to her on the roof. "It took me a little longer to get her due to my father wanting to speak to me about my behavior."
"It's alright, I wasn't waiting long." she replied.

She knew about Chat Noir's relationship with his father. He told her it wasn't really the best bond between father and son, as well as that he tried to keep him proud even though it would ruin his own happiness. Ladybug also noticed that Chat Noir hadn't been like himself since the beginning of December. However he did it told her what was wrong, but she guessed whatever it is was, it had to do something with his behavior change.

"So how are you doing?" Chat Noir asked.
"I'm doing fine, just a little tired, it's quite busy at my parents shop so I help them out quite a lot. I took a nap before patrol so it's fine now."
"I see. I bet it must get less busy once the holidays are over."

Ladybug nodded. The Christmas period at the bakery was so busy. She would help her parents bake in the morning and then once they open up she would help her mom taking orders and such. After those work days she felt tired most of the time.

"Make sure you take enough rest." he told her that every time she was feeling tired because of work. After all he was the only one who was able to understand how though it is to combine your civilian life with your superhero life.
"How are you doing?"

Chat Noir's expression dropped and he let out a sigh before he sat down on the roof. Ladybug took a seat next to him and wrapped an arm around you.

"I don't want to go much into details. It's just my father, he barely pays attention for me ever and now that he had noticed I don't feel like myself, all he does is criticizing me and tells me I'm a disappointment for the family instead of actually helping me."

Ladybug pulled him into a hug. She felt so sorry for him that he didn't have a great relationship with his family. It actually also made her a little more restrained to talk about her family because it feels like she would be rubbing it into his face that it goes well with her relationship with her parents.

"I'm sure you will be there someday and that your parents will be acting normally to you, but until then do know that you can always talk to me when things are bothering you." she said as she released him from the hug. "You're precious to me and I want the best for you. So if there is something I can help you with, please let me know."
"Thanks Ladybug."
