Marry Me

Chapter 5

Ladybug stood on a roof, waiting for Chat Noir.

While she waited, questions filled her mind.

Chloe's doing again? Or is it someone else? Who is the someone else? Do I know them? Why would they do it?

A soft thump of boots took her out of her trance, and she turned to find her partner.

Chat Noir bowed and winked.

"Hey m'lady."

Ladybug sighed and walked away, not in the mood to talk.

Chat Noir noticed and advanced towards her.

He hesitantly put a hand on her shoulder.

"You ok bug?"

Ladybug's eyes welled up and one stubborn tear rolled down her cheek. She turned her face so he couldn't see it.

"Hey," he said while brushing away the tear. "You thought I wouldn't notice? I'm here for you Ladybug."

She wiped the other tears that threatened to fall and faced him.

"I-I shouldn't be crying about this! We have an akuma to fight!"

Chat Noir put his hands on her shoulders and pulled her in for a hug.

"The akuma was waiting a while. It can wait a bit longer. You're more important bugaboo."

Ladybug hiccuped and pulled from the hug.

"I-It's about m-my personal life...."

Chat Noir gave a small smile.

"You can tell me. It's worth making you feel better."

Ladybug waited a few seconds then burst into a rant.

"I-It's about m-my wedding! Chloe or someone else keeps trying to ruin it! Everything's gone wrong, my dress, the decorations, the guests, and I wouldn't be surprised if the cake was smashed! And there's nothing I can do about it! My fiancées gonna hate me! I can't live without him! I should just go and lock myself in a room and never come out! Chloe really got me this time!"

Chat Noir's eyes widened in surprise.

"You're getting married?"

Ladybug gave a sheepish smile and nodded, forgetting that she hadn't told him.

He picked her up by the waist and spun her around!

"That's awesome!"

Ladybug giggled, her bad mood vanishing.

Chat Noir put her down.

"How long have you been engaged?"

"Two years."

Chat looked surprised.

"That's when I got engaged too! Ohmygod what if our weddings are at the same time! That'd be so cool."

Ladybug was about to reply until his words hit her.

"You're engaged?"

Chat nodded, excited.

Ladybug's heart ached.

What's wrong with me? she thought. I'm engaged too! I should be happy for the dorky cat! But.... we won't be able to tease or he won't be able to flirt with me anymore.

She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts, but one left its claws deep.

Was she jealous?

"Bye-bye little butterfly."

Ladybug stared at the way the butterfly went.

So free with no worries.

She wished her life was just like that.

Chat held out his fist for a fist bump.

Ladybug obeyed.

"Pound it!"

Her earrings beeped, and she gave a warm smile to Chat.

"Gotta go kitty cat!"

Ladybug took a few steps before she heard a voice call out for her.

She turned and found the black cat.

"Do you want to meet me at 11? At the eiffel tower?"

She racked her brain and nodded, knowing that she'll need a break from all the stress she was about to enter.

Chat's face turned into a smirk.

"It's a date m'lady! Tell your fiancé not to get jealous!"

She groaned and left, a smile making its way up to her lips.
