"Ready to take the leap my lady?" Chat Noir asked with a bow.
The two superheroes of Paris were currently fighting Prime Queen, paris's latest akuma. Nadja Chamack became Hawk Moth's newest victim after Ladybug and Chat Noir left her live television interview without giving her the scoop of gossip she desperately needed. Nadja was trying her hardest to get the two heros to confess their undying love for each other by displaying multiple images of the two flirting together during battles, including the one where they kissed. Ladybug was getting frustrated by these actions, so she grabbed her kitty and stormed out. When Nadja was akumatized into Prime Queen, she was determined to get her scoop by putting Chloe Bourgeois's life in danger and only releasing her once they've confessed their love to the world.
Ladybug gave a Chat a look. "What if it's a trap? I think I'd rather get there by my own means," she scoffed.
"There are many, many subway lines in Paris," Chat explained with a pointed look, "Which means a hundred and forty miles of rails. If we wanna get there in time to save Chloe, I don't think we have a choice."
Ladybug's eyebrows furrowed as she thought for a moment. Chat did have a point.
"Ha, just admit that you love being on t.v," she taunted to ease the tension.
"I don't get stage fright bugaboo," Chat Noir teased back. The two gave each other a knowing look and slowly began to step back, preparing themselves to jump. They suddenly both sprinted forwards and leaped off the edge of the building, heading right towards the giant screen that would lead them to Chloe's location. They both fell through and immediately got up into their positions once they landed in the subway.
"FINALLY," an angry blonde brat squaked at the superheros. "What took you so long?! Hurry up and get me out of this underground nightmare- WHOAAHH," she shrieked as the train suddenly wobbled, causing the girl to fall.
Prime Queen cackled of delight as she suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Ladybug and Chat Noir! So glad you could make it!" There was an evil little twinkle in her eye that gave Marinette a terrible feeling. "Free Chloe," Chat shouted. "She has nothing to do with this!"
The villain smirked. "If you want me to free the wretched young girl, you two need to prove your love to the world!" And with that, she disappeared again, just as the train began to speed up even faster. Suddenly, Prime Queen's face appeared on one of the screen. "Oooh, would you look at that! The ratings are rising," she squealed as she displayed her wrist for them to see.
"That akuma must be in that watch!" Ladybug whispered to her partner.
Chat jumped over to the door and tried jiggling the handle. "It's locked! We're trapped," he shouted.
"The rules for my show are simple. Admit the truth live on TV, that you're dating and in love, and I'll stop the train!" Prime Queen's voice filled the vehicle once again.
"A superhero never lies," The spotted heroine protested. "We won't admit to something that's not true." Marinette was seriously getting annoyed with all of this. It was such a stupid and pointless reason to be akumatized! How could someone be so obsessed with her and Chat Noir's relationship?
"I want my scoop!" The villain demanded once again. Chat suggested using his powers, but Ladybug stopped him, explaining that they might need it for an emergency. Ladybug had an idea but she needed to lure Prime Queen over to them. Sadly, there was only one way to do so….
"Okay Prime Queen, you win!" She stated as she grabbed her partners hand and held it firmly in her own. Unfortunately she missed her kitty's shocked reaction while doing so.
"I confess, Chat Noir and I are dating! Like you said, we are in love!" For some reason, the words seemed to come so natural to Marinette, almost as if they were meant to be. But the thought only frustrated her even more. Marinette loved Adrien and Adrien only! She couldn't love Chat noir and she wouldn't!
The train jerked to a stop, causing the two heros to lose their balance and topple over each other. Chat fell with Ladybug right on top of him. The feeling overwhelmed him. His little bugaboo was to cute, and warm, and cuddly and hearing the words that they are dating and in love come out of her mouth! He felt like he was in a dream! Chat let out a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding, but it came out sounding like the small purrs of a kitten instead.
Ladybug's eyes shot open as soon as she heard the sound and felt small vibrations coming from the body underneath her.
"Did I just hear you purr?" she exclaimed out of shock. "Uhhh no way!" Chat replied, sounding very unconvincing.
"Oh my goodness you totally did!" The bluenette squealed of delight, lighting up like a small child on Christmas day. Chat felt the heat rise to his face. This was so embarrassing. There was no time to come up with an excuse because Prime Queen's voice filled the train once again just as her face popped up on every screen.
"Did you hear that everybody?" She announced to the people watching at home. "Our two favourite superheros have just admitted that they are dating and in love! How romantic!"
The blonde's cat ears twitched as he heard a low growl coming from his partner. "You got what you wanted! Now let Chat, Chloe and me go free!"
"Hey wait a minute, where even is Chloe?" the heroine asked. "No idea. But who cares? She'd just ruin our moment anyways," Chat chuckled.
"You said you two are dating, but we need some proof," the villain called back. Suddenly, the purple, glowing outline of an akuma appeared over her eyes.
"You need to prove it by taking off your miraculous!"
Ladybug was about to shout at the villain by was interrupted by Chat Noir.
"Wait! I know another way to prove our love for eachother," he shouted and turned to face his bugaboo, both hands on her spotted shoulders. Ladybug knew what was coming. Chat was going to try to kiss her. The giddy look on his face gave it away. Marinette really didn't want to do it. Her heart belonged to her Adrien. But…..they were just there in the moment. This could work. She didn't want to, but she would do it. For the sake of Paris.
"Pucker up," Chat winked before closing his eyes and leaning in. Ladybug sighed and did the same. Prime Queen's eyes widened as she realized what was happening. This was a HUGE scoop.
Ladybug and Chat's lips pressed together for about 6 seconds. It was not what Ladybug was expecting. The kiss felt really good. Like really, really good. Chat on the other hand, felt as if he was on cloud nine. He was kissing his lady! Her lips were just as soft as he'd imagined. Not that he had stayed up at night imagining how it would feel to kiss the ladybug of his life or anything. As they pulled away, both teens longed to feel the warmth of the other once more. They opened their eyes just a little and saw the look of need in each other's eyes before leaning in again and smashing their lips together. Ladybug's delicate hands found their way to Chat's fluffy, messy hair and his arm snaked its way down to rest on her waist as the other hand went to grab her chin. Chat tilted his head to deepen the kiss and was rewarded with a hum of approval from his partner. They kissed….and kissed…..and kissed some more. Then they came up for air and- Oh they're back to kissing. Just kissing, and kissing, and…..and kissing more.
Prime Queen watched for a few more seconds before realizing that her ratings watch was over loading from the amount of views they were getting. "Well folks, this had been the best episode of Prime Time in history! I'm so happy right now and I'm sure you all are too!" The light on her watch began to glow a bright yellow and it began to overheat. "Uh oh…."
The two superheros sprang apart when they heard a huge explosion and felt the train shake. Ladybug spotted (heh heh) the akuma flying away and instinctively reached for her magic yoyo.
One de-akumatization later….
"Thank you so much Chat Noir and Ladybug! Thank you for bringing my Chloe home safe and sound!" The mayor of Paris said over and over to the superheros, who seemed to be in a bit of a rush to leave. "Yes, yes Mister Bourgeois. You're very welcome," the cat responded with a smile. "Yes, now if you'll excuse us, Chat and I gotta go before we detransform," Ladybug said before grabbing her kitty's leather-clad arm and yanking him out of the hotel. She used her yoyo to swing them up to the roof of a far away building, hidden from the eyes of the civilians.
"My lady, you do realize we won't de-transform for a while since we never used out powers," Chat pointed out with curiosity lacing his tone of voice.
"I know, I know! I just-" she stopped as her face suddenly began to turn more red than her mask. "I-I….I just…" Chat smirked. He had a pretty good idea of what his bugaboo was thinking about.
"You just what..?" He spoke softly, slowly leaning closer towards her lips. "Wanted another kiss?" Ladybug's eyes grew wide. Her heart was racing 15 times faster and her lips were tingling.
"N-no way!" Her voice quavered. She didn't sound so sure. Chat's eyelids slowly began to droop. Her's did the same. Ladybug stood there, eyes shut, waiting to feel her partners lips on her own. But after a few moment of nothing, she opened her eyes to see him standing up straight while smirking down at her.
"Well...whatever you say," he told her before spinning around and walking in the other direction.
Ladybug stood there dumbfound. Suddenly, without thinking, she grabbed her yoyo, tangled it around Chat's body, yanked him around to face her, grabbed the bell on his suit, and yanked him down to crash her lips onto his. Adrien felt his face heat up immediately after he realized what had just happened. It felt like all his dreams were coming true. Ladybug was kissing him! His bugaboo was kissing him! He returned her actions just as fiercely and smirked when he heard a small growl escape her throat. She was being so bold. So dominant. He was itching to snake his arms around her petite waist and pull her closer, but was unable to do so because of her yoyo strings restraining him.
As soon as Ladybug pulled away, she grabbed Chats chin so her eyes met his.
"We shall never speak of this again," she told him sternly, eyes showing no hint of doubt. Then she suddenly free him of her yoyo strings and swooped away into the distance. Chat could only stand there, face as red as a tomato, and smile a dreamy smile as he processed what had just happened.
His lady warned him to never speak of their kiss ever again. However, being the sly cat he is, he will still tease her about it anyways.
