[009]

Whatever the teacher was saying, you didn't put much attention to it. You were sitting all the way on the back and your seat mate wasn't there, so you didn't worry that anyone would catch you doing some corny ass letter for your beloved; especially Ms. Bustier.

Your brows furrowed in concentration, biting your lip slightly, as you were deciding what to write.

'To the one who taught me love,' No, too much. 'To my soulmate' You grimaced, even worse.

You decided to stick with the first option after a few minutes, much to your liking. You wrote the letter, not paying the slightest attention to the teacher's words or your classmates.

To the one who taught me love,

I've always wondered what falling in love would feel like,
If it meant you'd do anything for them or scream at the top of your lungs that they're perfect
as they portrayed in books or movies,
They may be right, but they've never told me that simply being with them made you somehow love yourself just for wanting to be around them.
You look just like a dream, the prettiest girl I have ever seen,

Groaning, you read your finished letter. Not only did you sound like a love struck fool, but your heart would be devastated if she read it and still rejected you. You knew you'd be somewhat understanding, but you also didn't want to be crushed in the process.

"Y/n, I hope what you're writing has to do with my lesson." Ms. Bustier said, making you flinch and look up from your letter to her.

It sort of was, but you didn't want her or rather anyone to know. You heard a gasp from the blunette in front of you as the teacher walked towards you, thankfully not glancing at your letter. "Can you tell me what I just said?" Asking, she crossed her arms; not a single trace of anger on her face.

You're an actress, this shouldn't be hard for you. "In most fairy tales, the prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess, because love conquers hate." You answered, not looking at anyone in particular.

The teacher complimented you, not taken aback by your words at all. Soon the bell rung, finally dismissing you all. Whatever you wrote suddenly became a reminder of your unrequited love story. You grumbled as you crushed the paper and threw it away on your way out.

Chloe rushed towards you before you could exit the door, pulling out a poster of you?

"N/n, I need you to sign here. Adrikins also signed his, I just need yours." Explaining, she smiled at you, somewhat uncharacteristic from the other smiles she've ever given you.

"Really? What's it for?" You grabbed the marker, already writing your signature.

"Don't be silly, n/n. It's for me, you know I'm your biggest fan." She exclaimed.

You quirked a brow, nonetheless sending her a somewhat sweet smile as you left.

—

You jumped onto your bed, digging your face into your pillow in embarrassment as the kwami spoke; already feasting upon a big slice of cheese.

"How could you even fall in love with ladybug? You hardly even know her."

Somehow you dug your head deeper into the pillow, his words finally acknowledging you on what you've done. A letter? Talk about hopeless love.

You gave him a sarcastic smile as you perked your eyes up at him, "Thanks for the helpful advice."

Rolling his eyes, he stared at you—suddenly becoming serious. "Whatever. How are you even going to confess to her today when you don't know who she is?"

That's right, how would you even confess?

"Well, it's Valentine's Day. People are bound to have their hearts broken today, someone may get akumatized." You explained. Not that you were hoping someone would get their heart broken and get akumatized but that's the only way you could see her.

Snorting the kwami responded to your remark, "People? As in you?"

You threw your pillow at him, glaring at him as he continued laughing; effortlessly moving to avoid getting hit.

Your phone dinged and you got up to see the sudden message Chloe sent you. Right, you've given her your number from that group incident; where she promised you she'd do something for the project but didn't. Your jaw dropped at the photo of Kim sitting on the ground with one knee; an embarrassing moment captured. You were sure he got akumatized, you definitely would've been embarrassed more than hurt if someone posted you like that, "Plagg, claws out!"

—

You stuck your staff on the building Ladybug was hanging on with her yo-yo, extending out your hand to her. She lets out a relieved sigh as she grabbed your hand, finally getting off from her uncomfortable position.

"Thanks, kitty. Dark Cupid could be close right now, so be careful." She warned.

Whatever you thought or wanted to say to the heroine came to an abrupt halt as you saw Dark Cupid flying your way. You immediately hugged her, turning around to take the hit that was meant for her instead. Your lips turned black as you growled at Ladybug, an uncharacteristic expression on your face as you stared at her.

"Ladybug, I loathe you!" Yelling, you hugged her tighter, making her unable to move.

"Chatón Noire! Snap out of it!"

"You're nothing, Ladybug. Nothing to me. I despise you!" You screamed, glaring at her as she continued pushing against your hold.

She stepped on your foot, making you yelp. To get you away from her, she pushed you away; jumping on your extended staff to launch herself away. You muttered to yourself in pain as you removed your staff from the wall and climbed up the building. Your brows furrowed in confusion as you let out a small gasp at seeing Dark Cupid in front of you. He tilted his head at you, a sinister smile on his lips.

"I can help you crush Ladybug. But you must give me her miraculous in return." He extended his hand out to you in offering.

Feigning hesitation, you smirked at him and accepted his extended hand. "Gladly."

Discreetly following behind Dark Cupid, you landed in front of Ladybug to prevent her from getting away. "I don't want to fight you, kitty." She spoke softly as she looked at you in concern.

"Sorry, Ladybug, but I guess you're going to have to fight me today." Your smirk never fell from your lips, provoking her to fight against you.

You extended your staff up in the air to launch yourself to strengthen your attack, aiming for the heroine below you. To no one's surprise, she dodged your attack and wrapped her yo-yo to jump on the street light. She avoided your further attacks, obviously trying to avoid fighting back, and ran away from you. You followed after her, unknowingly getting trapped by her as she wrapped her yo-yo around your staff.

"What's wrong with you, Chatón Noire!" She yelled, her brows raised in confusion.

You scoff at her, annoyed by her inability to hate. "Hate conquers all, Ladybug."

"Sorry to burst your bubble, kitty. But hate doesn't conquer all, love does."

You heard her gasp in realization, her grip on you was hard enough to make you unable to move; so you couldn't take the opportunity to attack her when she was distracted. You glared at her, "Quit buying time and fight back already!"

A smirk was placed upon her lips, finally letting you go, much to your surprise. "I'll do better than that."

You raised your brows in confusion as your grip on the staff began slipping off, "Huh?" You walked backwards as the heroine walked towards you, her smirk never ending. "Here, kitty, kitty. Just a peck." Your eyes widened as she pouted her lips at you, aiming for a kiss on your lips.

You immediately began running back from her, a panicked expression on your face. "What are you doing!?" You screamed, scramming down the building to run away from the heroine.

"Here, kitty, kitty!! Come here!" She called out, running after you.

Jumping buildings to buildings for a while, she managed to wrap her yo-yo around your ankle, making you fall. Before you could hit face front on the ground, she pulled you against the street light and wrapped you around it. You let out a defeated grunt as she pulled herself down to your face, a toothy smile placed on her features.

"No!" Yelling out, you once again tried pushing yourself out of her trap.

"It'll be just a peck, kitty. Hold still."

She tried kissing you, but you avoided it by moving your head around. She grumbled in annoyance as she pinched your nose to keep you still. You could feel yourself getting warm in the face as you could feel her breath coming near your lips. You closed your eyes, expecting it to come but it didn't happen as Dark Cupid shot an arrow between you both—pulling Ladybug away from you and onto the ground.

Multiple shots were aimed at her making her run away from her spot and behind a tree.

Meanwhile you dusted yourself off as you approached the fountain, Dark Cupid suddenly appearing there. "How are you feeling, bug eyes? Gonna continue fighting with us?" You laughed, fist bumping Dark Cupid in the process, "Cataclysm!"

Your laughs came to a halt when she turned away from the tree, a heart shaped candy apple on her hand.

She smirked, "I've got a valentines gift for you!"

You ran on the left meanwhile Dark Cupid ran on the right to attack Ladybug. She spun her yo-yo rapidly, the arrows unable to attack her meanwhile you screamed out as you aimed your hand towards her head, which she fortunately avoided. She grabbed your tail and pulled you onto the ground to use you to launch herself on the air and throw the candy apple onto Dark Cupid's face.

"Looks like you're caught in a sticky situation." She joked.

The stickiness from the candy apple made it hard for Dark Cupid to shoot out more arrows at her. "Ladybug!" He angrily yelled.

Ladybug jumped on top of the fountain, already facing you. "It's now your turn, kitty."

You growled at her as you approached her, your cataclysm still activated. She smirked as she jumped around the fountain to run away from you. Before she could get further, you jumped on top of her; stumbling against each other in the ground until you were on top of her. You lifted your hand that held your cataclysm, teeth clenched as you glared at her.

"Chatón Noire, get her miraculous." He commanded, turning around to wash his bow on the fountain.

You eyed him for a moment, almost hesitant, as you turned your eyes back to face the heroine below you. Your gaze turned sharp as you held her ear, containing her miraculous and lifted your hand up again. She smiled softly before grabbing your face to press her lips against yours. You felt your eyes widen, unknowingly kissing her back as your sharp like pupils dilated slightly.

You stumbled back to the ground as you regained your consciousness, "What? What happened?"

Ignoring your question, Ladybug lifted you in the air, throwing you towards the villain. You let out a loud scream as you stumbled onto him; unknowingly touched the belt he had around his shoulder, making the pin more visible to you.

"The pin, kitty! Aim for it." She commanded and you grabbed the pin from his chest and threw it back at her.

She sarcastically acknowledged the pin and stepped on it; destroying it. As the butterfly was released from the pin, she did her usual thing; making everything return back to normal again. She approached you, lifting up her fist. "Pound it!"

Your ring beeped, making you eye it hesitantly. "By the way, bug. I've been meaning to tell you something."

She turned around, giving you an apologetic look. "Sorry. If it's about the kiss, I just had to break the spell and—"

You interrupted her, your head tilted slightly. "Kiss? What do you mean?"

She raised her hands dismissively at you, giving you a sheepish glance. "Nothing! By the way, wasn't your ring beeping?"

You nodded, "Wasn't your earrings beeping too?"

"Yup! Anyways, we gotta go before we detransform! Can't be turning into pumpkins, and personally I'd rather not see that." She joked, laughing as she brought her hand up her mouth.

You let out a small sigh as she ran away. You helped lift Kim up to his feet and ran away yourself to detransform.

—

You paced around your room, ignoring all the letters that were placed on your table as you lifted a hand over your head in disappointment.

"At least you weren't rejected. Could've been much worse." He assured you, his voice mumbled as he ate his cheese.

You groaned as you threw yourself at your bed once again. Plagg looked down at you, attempting to cheer you up. "Look! Don't you have some sickening love letters from your fans?" He pointed out, eyeing the letters on your desk.

He rummaged through the letters and a specific letter landed on your bed as you continued laying down. Your eyes widened when you read it.

"Someone answered my letter? No way. Didn't I throw that away?" You muttered to yourself in confusion as read the following words,

To the one who I've learned to love,

I've been through much but from the day I've meet you, I've also learned how to love,
Just like how they've been portrayed in books and movies, I dream about you and wish to spend more time together,
They may have not told this as well, but I too also feel like loving myself for wanting to be around you,
And you're wrong, you're the one who looks just like a dream, you're the most prettiest girl I have ever seen,
With your (h/c) hair and your (e/c) eyes, I feel lost in them when I look at you,
Thank you for teaching me what love is, especially now that I've learned that I love you more than anything.

Your further questions were stuck on your throat as you looked around the card to find the owner of the letter. Whoever wrote it, you needed to know. You read it carefully 3 more times as you smiled fondly at it.

"Whoever wrote that sickening letter definitely is your soulmate." Plagg remarked, feigning the need to throw up as he squinted his eyes at it.

You flinched at his sudden voice, making you snap your head at him. Ignoring his words, you look at him in disappointment, "Doesn't really matter. It isn't signed anyways."

Just then, a ladybug landed on the card, making you gasp lowly as you looked at it. You smiled to yourself as you saw it flying away. You stole a glance at the kwami, "Maybe my feelings aren't so one-sided?"

"Stop with that corny nonsense. I might get sick."

You roll your eyes and look back at the letter, reading it once again before closing it shut. You weren't sure if it were ladybug or not, but it was beautiful. Corny but simply beautiful.
