PAIRINGS: chatgami (chat noir & kagami tsurugi)

POV: kagami's first person

-- oh glory. i found myself with green cat-like eyes staring with an unwavering stubbornness at my profile, and i recalled that i was in very thin silk pajamas.

-- "ch-chat noir! you're here!" i mumbled out, and he chuckled, his laugh vibrating through me. "where's ladybug? isn't she with you?" at that, chat stopped, and his emerald eyes drooped down.

-- "no, she ditched tonight." he spoke slowly, and i looked away. is this why he'd called me m'lady? i blushed, in both embarrassment and annoyance. i didn't want to be second fiddle to anyone, not even a hot superhero who saved paris several times. if chat noir wanted to seduce someone, he could choose anyone else but me. 

-- wait.. why did i care?

-- all of these went through my head as chat noir lifted me up safely onto the balcony, and i quickly pushed myself out of his arms, although i was cold. i knew i could handle it, i'd been in... worse situations.

-- "so, why did you decide to sneak out, kagami tsurugi?" the cat superhero, a slight smirk playing on his lips. 

-- i stared. "how do you know my last name?" i said, and he smiled sheepishly. "you're the only daughter of a famous fencing family, it'd be hard to not know your name, miss." i went red again, and i remembered the reason i snuck out in the place... since when did i forget trivial things like this?

-- "i, um, i didn't really like it at home, so i snuck out." i muttered, and chat's eyes widened. i held my breath, afraid of his response. 

-- chat's eyes softened. "i understand that..." he paused, licking his lips. 

-- i raised my eyebrow. "what is it?" 

-- he licked his lips again--where have i seen that? i'm sure i'd seen my boyfriend do that every time he hesitated to tell me what had happened with his father. "i... i have the same situation at home." he said, almost whispered, and i slightly leaned in to hear more. he rested his elbow on the balcony, and his leather claws tapped his cheek. "i know i seem like i'm just a superhero or ladybug's sidekick, whatever you want to call me.." and at this his eyes drooped. "...but my father often keeps me inside a lot, and monitors everything i do. it's why i love patrol so much."

-- my mouth fell open. "you...your father..." i cleared my throat. "first of all, i don't think anyone in paris thinks you're just ladybug's sidekick. you've done so much, with or without her. and... about your father... i just hope you get out of that soon, chat. and... if you ever need to talk about it... let me know, i'll definitely try to see you, in secret, of course." i smirked, and he laughed. 

-- we both gazed out into the sky. "thanks, kagami... that means a lot to me." he muttered, but i could hear him clear as day, partially because our faces were... close.

-- i pointed out. "hey, you see that one over there?" my finger was extended towards a constellation with eighteen stars. he squinted, and said, "yeah? is this a constellation?"

-- i smiled, "bingo, you get a cat treat." i bopped his nose, and he giggled. for a moment... i saw adrien when i pointed out the same constellation, we'd both snuck out and met in the champs-élysées, where we talked and kissed on the steps.

-- it felt a lot like that with chat. and that was a little scary or it was confirmation.

-- chat smiled. "yeah, that's the orion constellation, right?" 

-- "mhm, a lot of lore and aspects in japanese culture come from that constellation alone." i said sheepishly. 

-- "hmm, i knew that too, kagami" he smirked, and my eyes widened this time. 

-- "oh, really kitty cat?" i laughed, a good one, not a forced one i had with my mom or adrien's dad. "what else do you know then?" i jested, and he bore a smug smile.

-- "hmmm, i know that these kind of stars are called yowatashi boshi." he stated, and i raised my eyebrows. he kept going. "yowatashi boshi means 'passing the night stars' and this one's of the noticable..." 

-- at this point, i was only half-listening, as my brain finally clicked into place. 

-- "..adrien?"
