Valentine's Day had rolled around in Paris once more. This year, Adrien didn't really feel like facing Ladybug. After his horrible fail at telling her that he loved her, he wasn't quite ready for Hawk Moth to screw up any other plans he might come up with. Unfortunately, Hawk Moth clearly intended to screw up his currently non-existent plans by sending an akuma.

Adrien transformed and headed out to go help His Lady. When he arrived there, Ladybug wasn't there yet. He used her current absence as time to learn as much about the akuma as he could from that distance. It was a girl, and over the skin of where her heart would be, there was a white one made of what looked like crystal. It had a long, jagged crack running through it.

"I am Crystal Heart! Everyone's hearts are as fragile as crystal, and they will all be broken as mine is!" Chat Noir heard her shout. He watched as she quickly turned to a scrambling pedestrian and pointed a finger at his heart. Like hers looked, it pulled from his chest made of crystal. Crystal Heart the let it fall, and it shattered into millions of tiny pieces. Chat's eyes widened as the young man slumped to the group, unmoving. This akuma did not seem like she would be the easiest to beat.

Chat decided he'd wait for Ladybug to get here before attacking. It was hard not to charge at Crystal Heart for all the hearts she stole and broke, but Chat waited until he saw the flash of red and midnight hair. Ladybug landed next to him and whispered, "What's the akuma?" "She calls herself Crystal Heart. She pulls people's hearts from them, crystalizes them, and breaks them. The people stop moving." Chat replied. "Okay, I'll use my Lucky Charm. You go and hit her from behind." Ladybug intructed.

Chat Noir nodded, and the two seporated. Ladybug quietly called for her Lucky Charm while Chat Noir snuck behind Crystal Heart. He was behind her, so he couldn't see her knowing smirk, but Ladybug didn't miss it. She leapt into action, flying over to where Chat was amd dropping down in front of him just in time to take the hit. Ladybug's crystalized heart was pulled from her and fell to the ground, shattering into a thousand tiny pieces. As she fell with it, Chat caught her just in time to feel her cease movement.

"Ladybug? Ladybug?!" Chat cried out frantically. Crystal Heart cackled. "She's gone, Chat Noir! But I might be able to bring her back in exchange for your miraculous!" Chat Noir was ready to get up and hand over his miraculous to get Ladybug back, but then he saw her fallen Lucky Charm. A red and black-spotted container of baby powder was a few feet from him. Chat gently set Ladybug down, and stood.

Crystal Heart grinned, thinking he was going to give her his miraculous, but the grin faded when Chat Noir dove for the Lucky Charm. He grabbed it, dumped a pile of the baby powder into his hand, and threw it at Crystal Heart's eyes. It stuck there, and she waddled around screaming, "I can't see! I can't see!" Chat Noir tossed the Lucky Charm into the air, yelling, "Miraculous Ladybug!"

Swarms of ladybugs few around reviving all of Crystal Heart's victums, including Ladybug. She sat up, clutching her head. "Chat? What-" "No time! You need to purify the akuma!" Chat Noir said. Ladybug nodded, and got to her feet. She ran at Crystal Heart just as she rubbed the baby powder out of her eyes, but she was too late to stop Ladybug from taking the pendant that hung around her neck.

Ladybug dropped it and stepped on the glass pendant, shattering it. The little purple akuma flew out, but Ladybug caught it in her yoyo and purified it. When the pendant was fixed, Ladybug was not too surprised to see that it was heart-shaped, and probably made out of crystal rather than glass.

The poor girl who had been akuma-tised came over and picked up her necklace. "My boyfriend and I were really close, and I thought that he might be the one, but then today I caught him kissing another girl right after he gave me this and told me he loved me." She told Ladybug. "I remember being akuma-tised, too. You should go see Chat Noir. I don't need to see another broken heart." The girl walked away.

Ladybug just stood there dumbfounded. She had always thought that Chat Noir was just a flirt, but she had never considered just how deep his feelings might be. Ladybug turned and walked back over to the blonde-haired teen, and did something that she might have considered crazy ten minutes ago. She pulled Chat Noir to her and kissed him.

He was shocked by this sudden move after all of the rejection he had faced from her, but he loved her, so he kissed her back with just as much passion as she had kissed him with. He didn't care that it had taken this long for them to kiss, and be her move rather than his, but to Char, it was all worth it. Even if it was just a kiss.

Well, that's that! Thanks for all of the positive feedback and reviews!
