Miraculous Ladybug One Shots & Scenarios

A Late Night Chat (Reveal)

There he was.

Sat on the Eiffel Tower.

His midnight black suit blending into the night if it wasn't for the light the Tower gave off.

The light bouncing off his messy blonde hair. The light that would have illuminated his green eyes if he was looking at her but he wasn't. She was looking at him.

When she saw him bound from roof to roof from her bedroom window, she had to see what he was up to.

It wasn't spying.

Like how taking a phone without the users permission wasn't stealing... okay it was stealing.

Maybe it was spying.

The ladybug was as curious as the cat.

She only made herself aware to him when she used her yo-yo to pull herself up to the same bar he was sitting on.

"Oh hey." He greeted surprised. "You're out late."

"I could say the same for you." She replied adjusting herself to sit more comfortably on the bar. "Although you do this sometimes."

"You notice?"

"It's kinda hard not to when you see a figure bounding from roof to roof."

"And why are you up this late then?"

"Doing homework." She answered honest.

"But you decided to put it down and check up on me?" He seemed surprised.

"Guess you can say it like that." She said quiet looking down slightly.

"Something's on your mind."

"Why do you think that?" There was nervousness in her voice.

"Come on, we've known each other for how long?" The date slipped his mind. "I've picked up on a few things here and there."

He knew it had to something that had been on her mind awhile because she closed her eyes and took a breath before speaking.

"Why did you stop with the nicknames?" The moon lit up his green eyes as she looked up to meet his eyes.

"Are you saying you miss them?" He has a hint of a smirk.

Of course he had to make a joke out of it. He was Chat Noir after all.

"Maybe..." She seemed timid. "I don't know. Ladybug and Chat Noir just doesn't have the same feel to it without the nicknames, you know?"

"To tell you the truth," he looked up to the moon, "I didn't really think you would notice."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know." He shrugged. "I guess it kinda stopped," he hadn't given the question thought until she asked it, "because I kinda realized with this whole superhero thing and the whole identity issue a relationship wouldn't work too well with that."

"Oh." She sounded disappointed which he didn't catch.

"And at the same time in my personal life I noticed this other girl."

"Oh?" She perked up.

"Why are you so surprised?" He wondered looking back to her.

"You've never talked about another girl before to me."

"Guess I really haven't, have I?" He turned his head back towards the stars. "It's kinda funny. I used to think that she hated me."

"Why?" What did this girl, in Chat's personal life, have that made him have this drifted look in his eye?

"It was because of a misunderstanding but then I apologized and then we were friends."

"Just friends?" Her breath was shaky, like every word he spoke about the girl made her worried.

"Yeah, well," he realized the answer was complicated, "even after I apologized I still didn't think she liked me. She would always fumble over her words, mix up words in some cases and wouldn't be able to talk to me."

As Chat talked about this girl she couldn't help but see similarities in herself in her. It reminded her of when she interacted with Adrien. She was a stuttering mess in front of in when they first started being friends. Funny how he thought she hated him because of a misunderstanding. Like how when she thought Adrien purposely put gum on her chair but it ended up being a- ...misunderstanding.

She was too centered around her thoughts that she completely zoned out and only heard a muffled Chat talking.

"Turned out we had a common interest," she zoned back in on what he was saying, "we both like video games. The first time I went to her house was to practice for a video game competition, which I didn't end up competing in because she was way too good at the game."

Video game competition... huh.

"When we were stuck in a room together, she didn't seem too fond of the idea. Which is why I still kinda thought she hated me. Although guess when I played a little joke on her she didn't actually hate me. Kinda the opposite looking back now."

Stuck in a room... playing a little joke. Seemed like they could have been at a Wax Museum.

"She's so creatively passionate and not afraid to speak her mind. Guess I was kinda too late when I realized she probably liked me because that was probably the same time I started liking her." He didn't realize he had just rambled on about a girl, he just had this longing look in his eye.

"Well maybe," Ladybug swallowed as she turned her head forward and he turned to look to her, "she stopped liking you because she maybe realized that no matter how many times she made an effort to try to tell you how she feels about you she realized that if all you are ever going to see is her as a friend then that's the best she can take-"

He noticed the more she spoke the space between her words got shorter. Her eyes started to become more water full as she spoke.

"-and then at the same time she didn't realize this brave and protective and actually really caring and amazing guy who's been right in front of her this whole time but when she realized that he starting seeing this other girl in this way he never saw her beforehand and now she's worried that she waited too long and she won't be up to his expectations and that it will backfire completely and she won't be able to show her face ever again to him and-"

Her words were cut off by his lips interrupting her. The moment was brief but it felt like time stopped.

"Did that seem like it backfired?" He asked cracking a smile.

She smiled through her tear filled eyes. "No."

"I'm sorry that guy made you feel like that, believe me. When I see him I'm going to-"

She laughed as she wiped away the tears in her eyes. "Please don't beat anyone up."

"My lady you must know that cat's are very protective over what's their's."

"Even of a friend?"

"That guy was stupid for calling you just a friend. Insanely stupid. Massively stupid. Idiotically stupid." He could think of too many words to insult himself with. "That guy was just... an idiot, a complete one."

"That girl was too busy obsessing over a dumb boy to see how amazing the guy who was right in front of her really was."

"Okay, hey now. I wouldn't say dumb. Give me more credit then that at least. Minus all the times I was being... kinda... okay yeah dumb might be the word."

"Kinda?" She raised an eyebrow.

"A lot okay. I'm a lot of a dumb."

"We both are. But... maybe you a little bit more."

"But I'm yours." He leaned his face closer to hers.

"And I wouldn't have it any other way." She leaned her's closer to his, closing the distance between them.

They might have been dumb, they might have fallen for the wrong people at the wrong time but it worked out in the end. It will work out in the end, they are Ladybug and Chat Noir after all, they make it work.
