So this is a new little fic for my recent surging interest in the MLB fandom. Waiting for new episodes can be hard! Anyway, this a spin on a not-so-original idea if the name was any indication. I've only read 1 other MLB fic with this plot, but this one is less of a crackfic, and more serious. (And fluffy) The kitty cuddle may stretch to the limit of the T rating, but nothing past cuddle I swear! Please enjoy!=^-^=

Ch. 1 - Ladynoir

It was just a typical patrol... If you don't count Ladybug's uncharacteristic slip up as she headed back to Eiffel Tower. It was late, and so as per usual, the citizens of Paris were mostly indoors. Mostly being the keyword. Ladybug took a side street behind a pet store, and found out quickly she was a little too close to the street when she collided with a pile of boxes. "Whoa!? What the heck?" A clerk called as she ran up to the merchandise in worry.

Ladybug sat up in a slight daze with her yo-yo wrapped loosely around her arms. "Ouch..."

"Ladybug? What happened? An Akuma attack?" The clerk asked looking around in worry.

Ladybug shook it off and stood up with a sheepish expression. "No, sorry, don't worry. Just a little... miscalculation with my yo-yo. Sorry about your boxes." She rolled up her weapon and began to help pick them up.

"Oh... I suppose that can happen to anyone..." The clerk looked confused, but heroes weren't perfect. "Oh no!" She cried when she noticed one of the boxes was torn. A few small fish shaped pillows were falling out as Ladybug picked it up.

"I'm so sorry!" The heroine started to pick them up before realizing she'd stepped on one. It was torn open at the tail and she slumped her shoulders. "I broke it..."

The clerk finished getting the rest and took a breath of relief. "That's fine, it's just one. Keep it."

Ladybug furrowed her brow. "But I didn't pay for it."

The clerk waved it off. "No worries, these are bargain bin cat toys. Besides, maybe you'll think twice about swinging so haphazardly through the streets at night from now on." She teased now feeling the whole situation was hilarious. She'd never met Ladybug or Chat Noir, but this encounter makes them feel more like everyone else. An interesting change to an otherwise boring night of inventory.

"Uh.. yeah sorry." Ladybug apologized again and helped finish bringing all the boxes inside. When she finally left she still felt so embarrassed she'd made such a mistake. It was normal for Marinette, but for Ladybug it was just embarrassing.

"Hey Bugaboo, what was the hold up?" Chat asked with a wave when she finally arrived.

Ladybug almost tripped at the question and Chat caught her hand. "Uh, sorry... off night. I had a bit of an accident." She admitted with her left hand behind her head.

Chat chuckled as he lifted her right hand to his lips to kiss her knuckles. "It happens to everyone Milady. I'm just happy you're not hurt..." He trailed off just before he kissed her hand.

"Uh..." Ladybug found his pause strange and pulled her hand away. "Anyway, my patrol was quiet, what about yours?"

Chat looked back up to her with a strange smirk on his face. "Oh, nothing that could compare to seeing you." He leaned in closer to her causing her to step back.

"Chat?" He didn't answer as he approached again. "Something wrong? I mean if nothing happened then we should-"

"Take some time for ourselves?" He asked as he took her hand again. He sprung around her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Exactly what I was thinking Milady." He then began to purr much to Ladybug's shock. Chat always flirted with her, but this was way too much.

She pulled herself free and prepared to swing home. "Alright Chat Noir, that's enough. I need to get home."

Chat leaped after her, and beat her to her first rooftop with a grin. "Come on Bugaboo, can't we just snuggle?" He asked looking a little too eager even for Chat. He barred her from leaping off again and wrapped his claws around her hips.

She missed her footing trying to turn and fell to the floor with him still holding her tightly. "Chat!?"

"I love you Bugaboo." He cooed as his purring started up again and he rubbed his face into her stomach.

She froze at the intimate action and panic slowly settled in. "S-settle down Kitty... You're not acting like yourself."

"But I've never felt so good in my life Ladybug, and you smell so nice... warm..." He purred.

Now she could feel his purring vibrating her stomach which only made the situation that much worse as she felt her own cheeks burn. "C-chat Noir!" She yelped when he kissed her navel. She began pushing his head away from her. "I don't know what's gotten into you, but snap out of it!" She demanded before realizing her mistake. Instead of pushing him away, she merely pushed him lower where his purring would be an even worse problem. "Gah-" She gasped and curled up reflexively. This had the bonus effect of actually helping her get out of his arms. She kicked him away still in a panic and he clutched his gut.

"Ugh... Milady...?" He coughed and pushed himself up on one hand. "Huh?" He looked back over to her and she had scooted as far as she could without leaving the rooftop. "What's wrong Ladybug?" He seemed confused, the excitement from moments before suddenly gone. "And why'd you kick me?"

"C-chat Noir? Are you feeling okay now?" She asked as she got to her knees.

"What do you mean? Were we doing something just now? I thought we met up at the Eiffel Tower." He found a strange kind of fuzz in his mind over what he was doing just now. He remembered flirting at the tower, but when did they get to this roof?

"We did Kitty... you don't remember?" Ladybug stood up and took a good look at her partner. She let out a hand to help him up.

"Remember... getting here?" He asked taking the gesture. "Not really. I guess I must've spaced out or something." He just couldn't place what he was doing, but it bothered him. "What?" Ladybug was giving him a worried expression. "Did something happen?" He asked feeling something was bothering her. He placed a hand on her shoulder which made her jump from the sudden contact.

"N-no! Uh, nothing Kitty." She countered taking his hand from her. "You're probably just tired. I know I am." She grinned a little too much. "Night, Bug out!" She leaped for home without waiting for his response.

Chat took another look around while rubbing the back of his head. "I guess..." Though he didn't really feel tired.

When he got back to his room he released his transformation and Plagg darted for his sock bed without even asking for cheese. "Huh? Plagg? Aren't you hungry?" The blonde inquired at his kwami's peculiar actions.

Plagg groaned in response. "Uh... N-no! I'm tired. I'll eat later!" He declared further stoking Adrien's suspicions.

"Plagg? Come on, what's wrong. You're acting weird... just like Ladybug before."

"Ladybug? I don't know anything I swear!" He denied suspiciously.

Adrien pulled up the sock and let the black creature fall out. "Plagg, out with it. You know why Ladybug was acting weird don't you?" He demanded with a stern tone.

Plagg covered his eyes. "Come on Adrien, nothing uh... really bad happened." He tried to convince only making Adrien even more suspicious.

The teen crossed his arms. "You'll tell me anyway if you want any Camembert tonight."

Plagg gasped at the threat and squirmed as he wrestled with his desire to save his pride or eat good cheese. "Aww... Okay!" He finally relented after only half a minute. "Alright, I'll tell you, but please don't be mad." He floated up looking mortified. "To tell you the truth, there've been a few others who've had my miraculous that had this happen." He scratched the side of his face and looked away. "We kinda synced up a little more than was normal... See it sometimes happens when my holder's emotions and my own match up... a little too much. It's really only a problem when it comes to anger since I'm, ya'know, a being of destruction. This time was... uh... different..."

Adrien raised a curious brow. "Different how?"

Plagg was really trying to occupy his hands while his eyes were anywhere but Adrien. "Well I'm a cat, and sometimes I get excited about cat things like... catnip?" He admitted with a sheepish smile.

Adrien still didn't quite understand what this had to do with Ladybug. "So? How does catnip explain why Ladybug was acting so weird?"

Plagg took a deep breath before letting it all out. "Because catnip gets me excited, and then you were excited to see Ladybug

...andyoukindagotreallytouchyandmaybesortofrubbedyourfacealloverhereventhoughshereallywantedyoutostop!" He finished with a pant.

Adrien took a moment to try and figure out what all he said. It was all jumbled together at the end, but he was pretty sure he heard something about rubbing... Oh crap! "Plagg... please tell me I wasn't rubbing up against her like some cat in heat!" He had his hands in his hair at the horror of it all.

"Well... kinda?" Plagg chuckled sheepishly.

Adrien instantly slammed his head to the nearby wall. "You have to be kidding me! It's no wonder she was looking at me like that! She must've thought I was trying to...ugh.." He didn't even want to say it. The thought alone made him feel like a total creep. Not that he didn't have a fantasy or two, he was a teenager after all, but not this! This was so wrong!

"Calm down Adrien. I'm sure you can explain it to Ladybug next time. If you just mention the catnip thing her kwami will know and back you up."

"If she'll even ever speak to me again." The boy groaned back. She'd already snapped at him a few times over the years for less... much less.

"Come on kid, there's a bright side to this. The sync will probably be finished by tomorrow."

Adrien paused before turning to Plagg with a dead expression. "You mean we're still synced? I'm not even transformed anymore!"

Plagg gave a shrug. "It never ends in under a day. It takes a lot of time for a kwami to be able to sync with their holder like that even by accident. Of course it wouldn't go away so quickly. It takes about a day... usually."

"How long could it take?" Adrien ground out through his teeth.

"Uh... maybe a week?" The kwami revealed and was met with an instant groan of hopelessness. "But like I said, it's all based on time. We've only been together a couple of years. It won't take more than a day... or two for it to end... maybe three. Tops..." Plagg trailed off at the end, not really sure if he was helping things.

Adrien, by this point, wasn't listening anymore. The idea of being synced up with Plagg for a whole week terrified him, not because of the destructive potential, but because of possibly hurting his lady. What would she think of him if anything... more... ever happened? He couldn't fight the blush that came to his face when he thought of what that might entail. It was quickly followed by shame when he remembered she still didn't see him that way. If more did happen then he'd never be able to look his lady in the eye ever again, if she could even bare to see him.

Marinette stayed curled under her blankets trying her hardest to get the whole encounter out of her mind. Tikki sat nearby hoping to comfort her holder as best she could, but at this point could only do the bare minimum since she wasn't completely sure of what happened. Sure, she had a few ideas, but nothing concrete until she spoke with Plagg. When it came to her holder's current condition, however, it also didn't help that her emotional processor was about as fast as Dial up internet; if they even had that anywhere anymore. Since arriving back home she couldn't even string together syllables, let alone words.

Okay, so this one is more serious than you may have thought, but I want it to be more funny as I go. I can't write crack humor... maybe at all? I can't help the need for a coherent plot when I write, I suppose. Anyway, please let me know how this turned out. It's short, but I will post again shortly. (Within 24 hours) So bare with me please.=^-^=
