Okay, so while plotting out my sequel to 'just friends' I was like, hey, why not give Ladrien June a try, and thus, this was born! Hope you like! Lemme know your thoughts.

She hadn't meant to do it— okay, that was a lie, she always wanted to kiss Adrien, but not like this— it had been pure adrenaline from the fight.

Chat had yet to show up, and amongst all the fighting, people yelling, and general destruction of the city, Ladybug had noticed Adrien being pulled along by his bodyguard trying to protect him. But she could tell that with all the chaos, so it was just easier said than done.

So, with the akuma momentarily distracted by a few cars— its superpowers being to destroy all mechanical vehicles, she wasn't sure why— she swooped in, grabbing the model and swinging him away to hide him someplace safe.

It only took two minutes to find a safe hideaway. Their feet barely touch the ground before he's giving her praise. "Thanks, Ladybug. It was really crazy back there."

She nodded, trying her best to keep the blush at bay, failing miserably.

He was just so cute with those gleaming glittery green eyes, the soft smile that made her insides want to melt— along with her brain— his kind and gentle nature, and the way that he just cared about his friends so deeply. He was just so amazin-

Wait, where was she again?

Oh, right. In the middle of a battle, saving her crush. Shoot. From the way he was staring at her, she could see the worry slowly start to take hold. She had been strong for way too long.

Had…. had he been talking?

"Um." She punched at her chest to get some sort of air flow going through her lungs. Maybe she'd actually make a proper sentence. "Sorry about that. Lost in thought. Anyways, were you saying something?"

What she didn't expect, was his own face to become flushed in red, outshining her own suit in the color. His hand flew to the back of his neck to rub. "Yeah, just wanted to say thank you, Ladybug. You do a lot for us and don't get near enough credit. So, thank you." That soft smile grew into a larger grin as he aimed it at her.

She choked, and sputtered. "O-of fource— I mean course, of course. It's mine and Chat's duty to protect the city. We're happy to do it. And I wouldn't be anywhere without my partner."

If possible, his shade of red took on a whole new hue, and dang it, he absolutely needed to stop before her heart did.

"I'm serious, though, Ladybug." Her heart pounded in her ears as he grasped her hands, demanding her eyes meet his in full sincerity. His voice small, but was meaningful. "Thank you. I don't think I could ever say it enough for saving Paris. For saving me."

That! That was the final crack in the dam. Because there was just something in the way he said that-like his words had a much heavier meaning than he was letting on. Before she could even think, the water had burst through. She practically lunged forward, breaking their hands apart to cup his jaw instead, wishing beyond hope that she just could feel his actual touch in her hands, but knew for now that she couldn't.

Her lips connected to his and every live wire on every nerve in her body began to sing in harmony with his heartbeat. Her brain echoing with epic battle cries of soldiers who had finally won a long and hard battle. Everything felt right with this. With his lips against hers, it felt whole. Like, in a way she never imagen how kissing Adrien would feel, but it being better than any wild fantasy she could even come close to.

It took Adrien a long minute to realize that her lips were even on his before he started responding.

But boy, when he did, Ladybug thought her legs might actually give out underneath her. If it weren't for the fact that the second her knees actually started to wobble, Adrien's arms swooped in and wrapped around her waist.

She was dead, she had to be, because this could not possibly be happening in reality.

The best part of it was when he titled his head just a tiny bit to get a better angle, causing the kiss to deepen even further. She was sure he nibbled on her bottom lip, but couldn't be sure, because all she could taste, feel, smell was Adrien, and if she wasn't gonna enjoy it, then she'd have lost her mind at this point.

She may have even gasped a little, but his own lips caught the little sound, so honestly, there was no real proof to that. Nope, none!

The boom from an Akuma was what brought her out of the kiss as she broke away, panting for new air. "Go." She said before blinking her eyes back into focus. "I-I gotta go."

Goodness, help her, Adrien's face was just everything life had to offer. With his dazed eyes and toothy crooked grin that he didn't even seem to know was there as his gaze looked at nothing through his trance. His lips were swollen and red because of her. That was her favorite.

Was he trying to kill her? Was he swooning because of her!?

She didn't really care at that moment.

With his lack of response, she coughed a little to try to retain his attention, but it did little to help her cause. "So, yeah." Still nothing from the blond. "Stay there. I'll be back after the akuma."

His daze broke at the word akuma and he came back to life. He nodded along to her command. "I'll uh… I'll be here when you get back." His hoarse voice almost made her a goner.

As she turned to swing off, her heart fluttered once more. Because if she hadn't known better, she could've sworn she saw a hint of mischief sprawled on his lips. It was different, something she never really saw on his face.

She couldn't deny that she liked it.

A lot.

I want more Ladrien in the show canon wise. It'd be so cool!
