The clock turned 8, Hugo was asleep. Marinette quickly transformed into ladybug and went out for patrol.

Even though Hawkmoth was no more of a threat, both heroes got to keep their Miraculous.

Initially after having loose his memory to protect them he had gave her the full guardian responsibility along with the miracle box, she always wished he was here to guide her through her problems. It didn't help that she had Hugo as well.

Marinette went out to patrol the city, looking for anyone who needed help, kidnapping, robbery's or simply to get some fresh air to lighten up her mood if she had a rough day.

She made her way to the Eiffel Tower, sitting lonely as usual on the highest platform in the tower.

She didn't know that the return of Adrien Agreste would also mean the return of her long gone partner, chat noir.

With Adrien

Adrien was about to go back to his hotel until he caught sight of a similar blur of red running past him on the roof tops and towards the Eiffel Tower, the simple glimpse of her made his heart flutter, he was back to his teen years again.

He jumped into the nearest alleyway.
"Plagg," his heart beating fast. "Transform me!" The kwami was sucked into his ring and in a flash of green, the leather suit took over his clothes. He felt his body changing, a magic that felt so strange of and yet so familiar, it was his first time transforming since he left Paris and it felt amazing.

His muscles loosened, a wonderful loud laugh filled with the freedom he once had escaped with.

The leather felt warm against his skin, sending a wave of memories into his head of the past, the akumas they've fought, his awful puns that his lady claimed she didn't like but deep inside he always knew she did and times he'd sneak out the house as chat to get away from his model life.his steps felt lighter,filled with strength.

He gripped the baton tightly in his hand and with the push of the button he extended himself onto a roof close by, racing forward the night air ruffling his blond hair.

Ladybug sat as normal at the top staring into the city deep in thought about what happened today she was too attached into her thoughts that she didn't hear the soft thud landing behind her.

Ladybug didn't look at all like how he remembered her. Her body was curvier, with a thin waist and long legs she looked more of a woman she'd become. Her face had thinned slightly, sculpting a nice jaw.

He still couldn't believe she was real, after all his years stuck in his own imagination. It felt like a dream.

"L-Ladybug?" He took a step forward, her shoulders rose, he fought the urge to reach out and touch her, to brush his fingers through her soft hair, to hug her tight and feel the warmth of her suit melt into his. He stepped closer but she didn't give him the chance to take another step.

"Stay where you are don't come closer," she snapped, glaring at him with so much emotions, hatred,surprised,pain,  his body grew cold. "M -Milady?". She looked away from him, crossing her arms over her chest and he dropped his hands to his sides. Shaking his head he inhaled deeply. "I know I haven't been around but please M'Lady –,"

"Haven't been around?" She chuckled "7 years, you call that not being around?" she stepped closer poking his chest hard"disappearing with no trace months of looking for you"

"I can explain -," "I don't care," she replied. Ladybug took a big step forward and he moved back from Her. "You abandoned your duties as soon as we defeated Hawk Moth . You let down Paris and your responsibilities go, you took the miraculous with you and disappeared like thin air, leaving the people you swore to protect, you let me down" He had no idea what to say next, he knew she had every right to be mad. "I didn't mean to leave you–"

"Oh but guess what you did!". "I looked for you everywhere ...I trusted you!but you never actually did like me,did you? you used me" He reached forward and grabed Ladybug's wrist pulling her towards him. She struggled in his grasp, fighting for him to let go. He already let her go once. He wasn't ready to do it again.

"Let me go! Get your hands off of me!" "Please,don't please just give me a chance, Let's just  leave it behind and move forward". "Move forward? Hahaha that's funny after 7 years you expect me to let you in like nothing happened oh no that won't happen" she kicked his foot as he loosened his arms, she took that as a chance and swung of leaving towards her home.

He quickly grabbed his baton and chased towards her but she was too quick as he lost her through the buildings, he broke down on a rooftop
"I'm sorry" he whispered and sobbed "I didn't have a choice I couldn't tell you that my dad is that villain we defeated, the villain that was the cause of us knowing each other in the first place".

A while later he got up and made his way to the, people were shouting nice things at him and gathering around waving. "welcome back" he knew he didn't deserve it at all.
