Sometimes, to her, it felt like there weren’t enough hours in the day to be anything but her superhero persona. With all of her time now dedicated to being Ladybug and the guardian, there hadn’t been enough time left to study. Marinette glared at the thick, ugly red D sitting on the corner of her latest test.
And slowly the ball of anxiety in her chest began to unravel. “To a shitty day,” he agreed, immediately lacing their pinkies together. “Well to a shitty day,” she said, tentatively holding her pinky out. Because maybe she wasn’t the only one crying. “Yeah,” he said softly, “It did.” Blinking slightly faster than normal to keep new tears from forming, she glanced up at him, studying his solemn features. Just three little words and they had the power to destroy everything. She couldn’t tell him anything without fearing that she would trigger the end of the world. Refusing to meet his eyes, she smiled back and discreetly wiped away a few of her stray tears. “But we always trust each other,” Ladybug said. We keep secrets and… sometimes we have to lie,” he continued. “We can’t be completely honest with each other. “You know the difference between us and the rest of the world, Ladybug?” Chat said, interrupting their crushing silence. There were a few more moments of listening to nothing but the mocking sounds of mother nature. Undoing her pigtails-he handed her the red hair ties-and gently ran his sharp claws through her dark hair. He wordlessly shifted so that she could settle in comfortably before patting her head softly. Of course, she made sure to angle her face away from his line of sight. Her body instinctively curved into his and she leaned her head against his shoulder, before deciding to rest her head in his lap. If Adrien was her sunshine after a rainy day, then Chat was her whole world after a bad one. Even if she refused to acknowledge them, the feelings were still there. Messy blonde hair, cat-like eyes, and a crooked grin flashed through her mind. She had told him from the beginning because she had known from the beginning. She had made herself very clear from the start. He had been a nice break from all the chaos that followed her at every turn. And now-barely even a week later-she was still trying to pick up the pieces that had been scattered throughout her heart.Īfter everything horrible that had been haunting her day and night, Luka had been a breath of fresh air-a forest of oxygen compared to the smoky, hazy city of her own thoughts.
Miracle Queen had shattered the carefully crafted balance of her superhero and civilian life that she had forged stone by stone.
SEE ME IN HINDSIGHT FULL
The stars were twinkling prettily, the full moon was casting a bright glow over the city, and she was with her favorite person, but all of that still didn’t stop today from being plain awful. Ladybug stared off into the distance, in a futile effort to keep Chat from noticing the silent tears that were traitorously dripping down her flushed cheeks.
