"Trust me" // mlb fanfiction

3//André Glacier

The next morning, Marinette wakes up by the ringing of her phone. "Alya?" She asks tiredly, but the voice on the other side of the phone can only laugh softly. Being more aware that it's not Alya she's calling with, Marinette looks at the name on screen. "Luka, I'm so sorry. I went to bed late last night and I just woke up. What's up?"

"Since it's the weekend, I was wondering if you'd like me to stop by your place today."

"Yeah, Luka, that would be nice." Marinette says happily, Luka is always kind to her.

As soon as the afternoon arrives, Luka is there to pick up Marinette with his bike. "Where do you wanna go?" He asks her, putting his helmet on her head for protection.

"We could search for André, I'd like to have some ice cream." Marinette offers.

Luka smiles, "That's a great idea."

It takes an hour or so before they find André at the Louvre, as he always leaves clues for people to find him. They can hear his song from far away "My name is André, André Glacier! The sweetheart matchmaker. With one scoop or two, I'll find love for you. With magical ice cream flavour!"

"Hi André!" Marinette says as she and Luka walk up to him.

"I haven't seen you in a while, do you guys want some ice cream?" They don't have to answer that, since André is already scooping ice cream. "

Thank you, André!" Luka and Marinette say after receiving ice cream. They walk up to a bench to sit, eat and talk. Luka plays his guitar with a tone that perfectly describes the mood: peaceful, soft and perfect. But their peaceful moment doesn't last long when Marinette sees a black cat walking over the rooftops. She had totally forgotten: they had patrol today!

"I'm so sorry, Luka, I totally forgot. I have to- eh- babysit Manon today. I really enjoyed getting ice cream with you, we should do it again soon. Bye!" Marinette says quickly, then she leaves Luka, his guitar and the ice cream alone.

She does feel bad for ditching Luka, but she promised Chat she would be there today. She knows there probably won't be an akuma attack today, as there was one yesterday, but simply spending time with Chat makes her happy as well. "Tikki spots on." Marinette says when she finds a safe alley to transform. After that, it takes only a minute before she reaches Chat Noir.

"Hi My Lady, I was afraid you weren't coming." Chat Noir says as soon as he sees his Ladybug

"I could never bail on you, kitty." Ladybug responses with a little smile, which Chat returns.

Walking over the rooftops, they find comfort in each other's words. Chat keeps telling her how he's met a girl that likes him, but Ladybug is almost certain he says that to make her jealous. Ladybug, on the other hand, isn't sure who she loves now. There's Adrien, of course, but also Luka and- maybe- Chat.

"I keep thinking about what would be and what wouldn't be if HawkMoth never showed up, you know." Chat randomly starts a conversation, a conversation they both seem to be interested in.

"We wouldn't know each other, that's for sure." Ladybug says, unaware that that's untrue.

"I can't imagine a world where I do not know you, my lady." Chat Noir says

"Me neither, kitty." Ladybug responses, trying to hide her blushing from him. That has been happening more often lately, it feels weird.

"Some people would still be here, if it wasn't for HawkMoth." Chat says, knowing they both think of the same person: the last guardian of the miraculous, Master Fu. But they wouldn't have met Master Fu either if HawkMoth never showed up.

Thinking of Master Fu, Ladybug tries to hide her feelings of sadness. It was clear she was closer to him than Chat Noir, she was closer to him than anyone. The moment she realized Master Fu would never remember her again, her heart had stopped for a moment. It was like losing a parental figure. She can still feel the pain she felt after all these weeks.

"Are you okay, My Lady?" Chat asks.

"I'm fine."

"No, you're not." Chat says as he walks towards her and gives her the hug she clearly needed.

"I'm afraid kitty, I'm so afraid." Ladybug starts crying, she refuses to leave the comfortable hug. Chat doesn't pull back from the hug either

"What are you afraid of?" He asks sweetly and calmly. Now Ladybug pulls back, turning her back to Chat, ready to run if needed.

"People see me as an example. We save Paris day after day and that was enough pressure for me. But now that I'm the new guardian, everyone expects more of me. I don't know if I can live up to all these high expectations." Ladybug can't help but to turn around and hug Chat again. Chat doesn't resist, he just holds onto her 'til she's satisfied.

"You don't have to do this all by yourself. I will always be here for you." He whispers, Ladybug simply smiles, he always seems to find the words she needs to hear.

"Thank you, Chat. You're the best." Ladybug says before pressing a small kiss on his cheek, knowing it would make his day.
