Is This How It Ends or Begins [Cat Noir/ Adrien x Reader](ON HOLD)

Chapter eleven: Silhouette on the rooftop

Reader's POV

It's a rainy Saturday afternoon and I am in my room reading through some books from school. I had already read through some science notes and text books and was currently reading through English, at least re-reading some of the chapters we already did to become familiar with what we had already completed.

Abré told me that the school had allowed me a week off after being informed of the car incident that I had, because they didn't want me to get overwhelmed with school work but in a way it's doing the absolute opposite because at some point I started worrying about what it would be like to get back to class.

Not like going back to classes is anything special, right?

I mean, I felt fine with going back to school a few days ago but I've been slowly feeling worn down without even having done much but I just try to shake that feeling off.

"Adjectives are normally placed before nouns and this is known as the modifier or attributive position...."  

Hmmmm page number 34...... 34, 35, 36, 37- and I find myself continuously turning the pages ignoring the fact that I stopped reading through the chapter.

Stop acting distracted and get back to studying.

I am not acting  you are.

I am you...

"Why, you little..."

"(Y/N), are you okay?"

Chamy asked, giving me a weird but concerned look. I chuckled at the thought of Chamy being startled right now. Leaving me busy with my books one second and hearing me talk to myself the next.

"Yeah, sorry about that... I think that's enough studying for today" I say as I close my books and push the desk a little bit to roll myself away.

I turn  to look outside of my room window to see that the rain had now turned into a light drizzle and there was some light breaking through the dark clouds.

This is going to be a long week. I thought to myself as I heard Abré calling me for dinner. I assured Chamy I would bring him something to eat when I come back and left the room

I head downstairs and see that Abré was already waiting with a plate in hand. 

"Tell me when it's enough" she says as she starts dishing something mush-like out of the pot on the stove and onto the plate in her hand.

"That's enough"

"You sure?"

"Yes I am" I confirm as she adds another scoop nonetheless. "Why ask if you're still going to add to it anyway" I whine. She shushes me and giggles. "That's what mom always does to us" she says as she pours some gravy on it, passes me the plate and takes another to start dishing up some food for herself.

We head towards the living room once she's done and sit on the couch instead of at the dining table like the other day.

I get up and go back to the kitchen to get us some water as I hear her ask If we should watch a movie. I opened a few drawers  until I was able to find the one with glass and plastic cups and grabbed two glass ones. I filled them with water and started heading back where Abré had a questionable look on her face as she stared at the television. I placed the cups on the dark wooden coffee table, sat down on the couch, and turned my full attention towards what was being displayed on the television screen.

"-with today being another successful save for our Parisian heroes Ladybug and Cat Noir. The name of the villain is still unknown but the akumatised victim's Social media however is flooding with questions, videos and edits of the unknown "hero" who seemed to be assisting our two heros today-." The screen of the news lady swapped as she was saying this with some short clips of Ladybug, Cat Noir and Calyx trying to dodge blasts and stop the "akumatised" victim/villain.

She continued "We were able to reach out to the victim who was akumatised to know what happened and were told they also had a short encounter with the new heroine." and the screen changed once more to the man who we helped that day. He was answering the questions which a news reporter was asking him.

"You mentioned earlier that you had an encounter with the new heroine before she took off, can you tell us more about that?"

He nodded and responded "Yes, I was sitting in the middle of the street, confused of course because I had apparently just been akumatised, and this lady in a chameleon like themed suit came up to me assuring me that everything was going to be alright-" . As he was saying this I glanced over at Abré to see her reaction and it turned from her looking confused to one that was hard to read.

"-before she did leave I did ask for her name, it's Calyx" 

The interview of the man paused as it went back to the screen with the news lady reporting. 

"You heard it folks. Amidst this situation in which Paris is still unsure of what is happening as Ladybug announced she would be leaving Paris not too long ago, will Calyx become part of a heroine to look up to or will she use this as a cover up to later turn on the heroes as has been done before. Thank you for watching, I am Nadja Chamack wishing you a nice evening. Now over to sports". Abré changed the channel as the images changed to an intro for the sports news.

"You okay?" I asked Abré as she was changing channels and taking spoonfuls of our sauced mush.

"Yeah, just thinking about what we just watched on the news that's all. Soo..wanna watch a movie?" she asked to which I just nodded in response, realising that I didn't respond when I went to get us some water, and took some spoons of my own mush.

"By the way what is this mush? Tastes nice."

That question seemed to lift Abré's mood a little as she let out a small breath-y laugh. "It's mashed potatoes made by yours truly" she says giving a little bow.

I took in another spoonful and so did Abré as the supposed movie we planned to watch turned into a series of channel changes featuring uninteresting shows with promising music channels that instead decided to fill the evening with talk sessions and interviews.

Both of us had finished our food (I went for seconds) when Abré switched the TV off and started cleaning up the plates. I help her and she tells me she's going to head up and do some of her schoolwork as she places the plates in her hands in the sink. I nodded in response, thanked her for the meal and wished her a goodnight as I stayed back to wash the dishes and remind myself to take something for Chamy to eat . 

I head back up to my room with a filled stomach and sliced apple pieces in a small bowl for Chamy who was dramatically spread out on my desk trying to, from what I could read from his expression, look as if he was starving.

"Don't be so dramatic," I say stifling a laugh, "I didn't take that long".

Chamy gave me a look of disbelief. "You left at roughly 18:45. It's 21:30 now!" He whined as I apologized and placed the bowl next to the dramatic creature. Chamy got up excitedly and picked up a slice and started munching away.

I move towards my room window to cross the curtains and take a look outside before I do . It was already late with a pointy triangular building and some house lights dazzling the streets of Paris. I get to see some of Paris' beauty at night because of these lights. It also allowed me to notice a familiar silhouette of a female in the distance on the roof top with a visibly downcast appearance.
