Adrien had just arrived at the school, while walking down the corridors to his classroom, he noticed that all students were connected on the phone. It reminded him that he hadn't had time to check the news since yesterday.

As soon as he turns the backpack forward to look for his cell phone, a loud explosion comes from the school entrance, the students run to hide, bumping into the blonde.

A villain so early?!

He enters his locker and turns into Chat Noir.

He runs towards the school entrance, from a distance he can see the villain in a dark cloak holding Lila by the collar of her shirt.

Before the villain could do anything, Chat Noir jumps at you, causing Lila to drop, and the two of them roll forward together.

Chat Noir immobilizes your arms above your head on the ground. But as soon as the green eyes meet yours, he pales, a terrible chill runs over his skin.

"(Y-y/n)... How were you akumatized?" His voice fails, he cannot move a muscle. "I was waiting for you, kitten. I need to do this so we can be together later. You're not gonna fight me, are you?" He gets up and stumbles back, mentally cursing Hawk Moth for all of this. You get up too.

"Nothing was separating us before. Let me help you, where's Akuma?" Your face rages when he looks away from your eyes, to look at your clothes wondering where Akuma is.

"Yes... Until all Europe finds out! She fucked it all up, posting that video! She deserves to be punished!" You look back to see her running away, you throw a sphere of energy that surpasses Chat Noir and hits her back, she falls to the ground with a magical chain wrapped around her body.

"We haven't even started your punishment yet, keep quiet waiting for me." You turn your eyes to Chat Noir that has no reaction.

"I've not seen-" He's pulled from your front by Ladybug's yo-yo who just arrived. "Are you ok?" asks Ladybug to the cat now next to her, while swinging the yo-yo with her eyes intent on you.

"Ladybug, save me time and give me your Miraculous, I've things to solve..." Your eyes follow Lila, who's struggling trying to break free from the chains.

"Do you know where Akuma is, Chaton?" Ladybug ignores you, you gnash your teeth and create several black spheres launching against her. She's agile and avoids everything.

"Chat Noir what are ya doing? Move yourself!" Ladybug screams as she dodges your attacks, to the cat that's standing there not knowing what to do.

"If you stay with her, I swear I won't forgive you! You'll be punished too!" You give him a deadly look, without stopping to attack Ladybug.

He looks at you, following Ladybug to help her. "I'm sorry, my darling. You're being manipulated by that sick maniac. I need to save you now!"

You cease the attacks, disappointed. A great sadness passed through you, until the voice of Hawk Moth spoke in your mind.

Ladybug's to blame for all this! If you fail, you'll have to go away. Don't let her steal Chat Noir from you!

Sadness is replaced by fury, your cape has turned scarlet red. You float up while Chat Noir and Ladybug's eyes follow you in fright. "Do you know what her power does?" asks Ladybug, swallowing hard, eyes wide like Chat Noir's. While watching you float higher.

"Let's find out now... RUN!" Ladybug and Chat Noir start running, while dodging your air strikes.

"Don't leave me here! You fools!" shouts Lila still on the ground in chains as Ladybug and Chat Noir pass by.

"You two aren't gonna run away from me!" Ladybug and Chat Noir take opposite paths, forcing you to choose to chase only one.

You clench your fists and stop chasing them.

That's okay... They'll have to come to me soon, I'll take care of Lila first.

You turn around and fly back to the entrance from school.

As soon as they see that they're no longer being chased, by the call they agree to meet on the next street.

"We won't be able to catch Akuma like that, we can't approach her while she's flying." says Ladybug as she catches her breath when in front of Chat Noir.

"I guess Akuma's on the cover, try to use your lucky charm." says Chat Noir, equally breathless.

"When you told me you're dating, I didn't think it was just as Chat Noir. Now that Hawk Moth knows, she can always be in danger. It's safer that you can't see her anymore." says Ladybug with a serious tone. Chat Noir sighs, looking away from her.

"I know... But I love her so much, I couldn't stop seeing her. I'd rather stop being Chat Noir than never seeing her again." Ladybug looks at him in silence for a moment.

"Chat Noir..." She puts her hand on his shoulder, with a reassuring smile on her face. "You don't need to get to that point, there's always more than one solution." Chat Noir smile in response.

"What would you be without my jokes bugaboo?" She rolls her eyes. Chat Noir watches as she uses the lucky charm.

"Fake blood? What could I do with this?" She looks at the small bottle in her hand.

"A vampire cosplay?" Says Chat Noir... When Ladybug looks at him the idea comes up on her mind.

"How about a bruised kitten?" Chat Noir's eyes widen.

"You've a dark mood, better leave the puns with me." Ladybug slaps her forehead.

"That wasn't a pun, listen, this is the plan..."

✷✷✷

"Hahaha! I can't wait to see your face when everyone sees who you really are." With her phone, you post the video you just shot about her telling the whole truth about what she thinks about her classmates.

You put the phone back in her bag and take a few steps away, snapping your fingers, freeing her from the punishment you put on her, which wasn't being able to lie anymore.

"What happened?" She rubs her eyes looking around, you've a mocking smile on your face.

"I can say that your mask has finally fallen." You turn away and float in the air, ignoring her questions and swearing.

Enough of that! Hurry and go get the Miraculous.

You roll your eyes at the Hawk Moth voice in your mind. You float to the school roof and cross your legs in the air.

Relax old man, they'll come after me, just one hit and I win, get out of my mind now.

You're very insolent, tell me, what's the identity of Chat Noir?

I dont know too.

You hear a grumble followed by a silence. You watch the streets from up there, some reporters come to film you, but you scare them with some ball shots.

"My Queen... I want to be with you, forgive me?" You hear Chat Noir's voice calling you from behind the school. You turn and float to the edge of the roof, you see him down there with a sorry expression.

"Too late to regret it, kitten. I'll punish you in a very special way..." You throw a sphere that hits him, he falls sitting with chains around his chest, holding his arms down. You land in front of him while his head is down, looking at the ground.

"Where's Ladybug?" He doesn't respond, just keeps his head down. You snarled and knelt in front of him, pulling his hair back, forcing him to look you in the eye. "Don't make things worse for you!" You scream angrily.

"*Cough* *Cough*! Y-you really don't l-love me anymore?" Your heart races and you let go of his hair, scared, when he says coughing blood that ran down his chin

"W-what..." You look at the chains around him. "I didn't mean to do it!" You snap your fingers and release him from the chains. "Sorry..."

No! It's a trap!

You ignore Hawk Moth's voice and hug the cat as tightly as possible. He hugs you back, keeping your hands only on your cover.

"Cataclysm!" Chat Noir destroys the cover, and leaves the rest to Ladybug who runs to catch Akuma.

"What happened?" You return to normal and ask confusedly still in his arms, who sighs with relief and hugs you again.

"Don't worry me like that ever again!" Chat Noir presses his face in your neck. You're sure that you were akumatized when Ladybug uses her power to recover the destroyed things.

Love... A pure feeling, but it can also be very dangerous. This will be your downfall, it's only a matter of time before the bomb goes off.

"I'll take you home." Chat Noir gets up with you, it reminds you of your parents.

"Let's go somewhere else, I don't wanna see my parents now." You say, unable to hide the fear in your eyes, Chat Noir strokes your cheek with his thumb, you feel a sense of security when your eyes meet his green orbs.

"Okay, wait for me here, I need to transform back." You nod and he uses his stick to get out of there, you look at Ladybug.

"Thank you for saving me..." You say, she smile.

"It was nothing, your parents should be concerned about you, be sure to talk to them." You nod and she uses the yo-yo to go away.

Like it was easy

"I'm back." You turn around and see Chat Noir

"Let's go before the reporters find us." He picks you up and uses his stick to take you both to the Eiffel Tower.

✷✷✷

"So your parents didn't like it at all, about us dating right? As we imagined." says Chat Noir, resting his elbows on the parapet of the tower beside you.

"Yes... Not only that, they said that we're going back to the United States." You sigh looking at the beautiful city down there. Chat Noir's eyes widen.

"What?! No way, I'm not gonna let them take you away from me." He says seriously. You look away when your eyes heat up to form tears.

"We can't do anything... I'll miss you-" Chat Noir pulls you against his chest and holds you tight. You can hear his heart racing.

"Don't say it girl, I love you too much, I don't let you go." You feel your cheeks get hot. It was the first time he said he loves you. You hug him back by sinking your face into his neck.

"Listen, I've a plan to make you stay." He whispers in your ear, you raise an eyebrow.

"What if that plan doesn't work?" You ask with doubts.

"We'll have to be radical and make the plan B." You step back just to look him in the eye. He had a maniacal expression on his face.

He's kidding...

"What would plan B be like?" You ask.

"I'd have to abandon my career as a super hero, kidnap you, be wanted all over the country, we would have to leave France, do you like pizza? We can go to Italy." You can't take it, you burst out laughing. Chat Noir folds his arms and waits for your fit of laughter to end, faking an offended expression.

"You're unbelievable, even in this situation, you joke. You're the joy that was missing in my life." You put your arms around his neck and give him a quick peck on his lips, you can see his cheeks flush.

He responds by placing his hands around your waist, bringing your bodies closer so that they touch.

"I'm flattered to hear that, but I'm not kidding..." He presses his lips against yours, this time with a hungry kiss, you respond immediately, feeling all your worry go away along with your breath...
