Chapter Text
“What? Can you say that again?” Chat asked, his voice sounding distant to his own ears.
Ladybug pouted. “I asked if you thought me pursuing something with Adrien Agreste would be a good idea, you know, since he’s a celebrity and he might get the wrong idea about my intentions.”
Chat choked slightly. “What-” He whined before clearing his throat. “Why would he get the wrong idea?”
She frowned, looked down, and pulled her legs tighter to her chest. “He’d probably think I’d only like him for his looks and status.”
He stared at her. “I…I doubt that, My Lady.” He hesitated. “He would definitely give you a chance to explain your feelings, I mean, he seems like the type to anyway.”
She glanced up at him. “You’re right.” She said softly. “Maybe… maybe I should give it a chance.” She smiled painfully. “Worst thing he can do is reject me right?”
Chat smiled reassuringly. “For what it’s worth, I think he’ll be thrilled when you tell him.”
She smiled, throwing an arm around his shoulder in a loose hug. “Thanks, Chat. You’re the best.”
A few days later, as she cheerfully gushed about her first date with Adrien, he wondered what he had managed to get himself into.
This was going to be really awkward to explain when they finally revealed themselves.
