Fallen For A Cat ||Chat Noir||

Chapter 42

                            🐾Y/N's POV🐾

I stood up, brushed myself off, and put my hands on my hips. "Chat Noir, we were worried! You can't just go off like that when we are in the middle of something like this. We don't want the same thing to happen with Rena Rouge. We need to stick together." I lectured, shaking my head in disproval. He quickly replied in a higher squeaky voice. "Listen, I-I just want to prove myself to you guys. When it was just Ladybug and I, I was always the side kid, and I know it's selfish, but I guess I just don't want you all to forget about me.." I looked at him with sympathy and gave him a quick hug with a pat on the back.

"Listen, I get it. I think we all have had a time like that," I said pointing to the members of our group, ending with pointing to myself. "Even I do that! I left earlier because I though you guys wouldn't need me anymore because Ladybug was back. But I was wrong, and so are you. We couldn't forget about you. I know it's hard when we can't all be the big man of the group." I said, sounding pretty wise, I'd say.

"But the most important part," I started, "is you have to remember that you matter and are a valued member to us." I smiled, and for once, so did Chat. "Thanks, Crauloia." He said, sounding more like himself now.

"I think I know this mansion pretty well." Queen Bee said, raising her hand. "But I don't know if we are able to sneak by without getting noticed by someone. "Hate to say it, but I think we should split up again: this time alone." I whispered, looking around. "Hey Uh.. Boss, what's so interesting on the ceiling?" Carapace questioned, seeing me rapidly look at each corner. "Oh uh, cameras. Anyone see anything?" They also took a turn looking around the room, and ended up seeing just one. I pointed to it and Chat ended up extending his staff to break it.

"Alright, I think we are good. Rena, could you lock the doors real quick, and close the windows?" I asked pleadingly and she nodded. While she was running back and forth between the windows and doors, I explained that we were just going to detransform to give our kwamis a break. "I was thinking we just don't look at each other, but if you guys think that it will help us beak Hawkmoth, bringing us closer or whatever, we could do that." I saw that Rena Rouge was now walking back to our group with a confident look on our face.

"I do think that it will bring us closer knowing each other. Then, if we are ever struggling, we know that each other's identities are at risk and we don't want that to happen." Rena said when she finally made it back to the rest of us. "Okay, let's take a vote. If you would rather us not show identities, say I" no one said a single word. I sighed, "if you would rather us show each other our identities, say I" around the group, I received only i's. Finally, I said the same word they were speaking. Chat put his hand on my shoulder. "Kitaroo, I know what it was like when we showed our identities, you really don't have to do this. It's all up to you."

       "It's fine, Bandit should rest anyways. It's been a while since she has been out." I said. I turned to face Queen Bee and sheepishly said "Do you mind if you are the first to detransform..? We all already know your identity, y'know?" She agreed with a nod. "Buzz off!" She said, the suit disappearing within a second. She smiled, flipped her hair and posed. I smiled at her goofiness, and told the rest of them to detransform individually, then come back in a circle. I went with Chat to his abnormally huge bathroom and detransformed with him, by saying the two words;"paws down."

      My costume was off and Bandit came flying out of my necklace. "Woah, Y/N! We are going to be in for a treat tonight. I promise I will try my best to support you while on the mission, but I think I need more energy." I gave her a macaroon and replied. "Okay, but how long we talking?" She thought about it for a moment, then spoke back. "I'm not sure, but to fully have the strength and powers, maybe overnight, but that depends on what the others say." I sighed looked at the ground, and spoke back. "That's fine. We put you through a lot already. You all deserve a rest, and we can all have a sleepover, or something. We can't go back to our own houses at this point, we got it far, and it'll be pretty awkward when we keep jumping through windows." Bandit laughed her high pitched laugh she does, and gave me a hug on my cheek. I think? I'm not sure, her tiny body can't really wrap her arms around me, so she kind of just pressed our cheeks together with her nubs on the sides of my cheek.

      I looked over to Adrien, to see him arguing with Plagg, as usual, and I was suddenly really happy that Bandit and I have a good relationship. I smiled to myself and tapped Adrien's shoulder. "Do you think they will be disappointed?" Adrien asked me, "Hah! Adrien, if the situation wasn't like this, imagine finding out your two best friends are also the heroes that save your city from being attacked everyday." I said back to him. "When you put it like that, you make a point." I smiled and opened the door just a crack.

     "Everybody done detransforming?" I said out the door. there were 'yeps' and 'yes's coming back. "If you all will, please close your eyes and step forward." They all did, and we did until we were all together as a small closed circle. "Okay, you can open your yes on the count of three." I said. "One... Two..."

                               "Three."
