Play that ^ when I say, and there will be lots of POV switches, just a warning.

You woke up exited, the dress really made you want to show it off!

You get up and get ready for the day, do some school work, when you suddenly realize, you don't have any shoes that would match the dress.

So you quickly rummage through the closet until you find a pair of black, beat-up sneakers.

"Purrfect!" You whisper to yourself, Cat Noir's puns have been rubbing off on you.

You take the sneakers and color the tips gray, just like Cat's boots.

You admire your work and check the time. 3 PM.

Still about four hours before you'd need to get ready.

You go to the kitchen and make a snack, then take it back to your room, and finish the school for today.

By the time you've finished everything it's 6:30.

You decide to play on your phone for a while, so you get on Pinterest.

A image of Cat Noir appears, and you notice something.

His ears, you should have a pair of cat ears!

You go to your art supplies and find some black felt, and a black headband, no time to go buy some.

You quickly cut out triangles and glue them onto the headband, they actually look really good.

Now it's time to get ready, so you take a shower, put on the dress, apply some make-up, (unless you're like me, and don't wear it😂) and do your hair in a fancy way.

You set your homemade cat ears upon your head, and put on your newly repurposed sneakers, and go out after telling your parents bye, and about fifty pictures.

You were making your way downtown, there was a ton of people in costume out, kids, teens, and adults alike, most dressed up.

When you got to the Bougouis Hotel there was a huge line.

You had to wait for at least 20 minutes to get in.

Finally, you got inside the doors and glanced around, it looks pretty cool.

There was cobwebs, coffins, bats hanging from the ceiling, orange and black streamers, and pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere.

You scan the crowd, seeing plenty of red and black spots among many other things.

Finally you catch sight of what you were looking for: the food.

There's cookies, cakes, and tons of other things, all Halloween themed.

As you walk toward the table that holds all the delicious looking food, you notice most people are crowded into one side of the room.

You get a cookie and walk over to investigate, soon seeing what all the commotion is about.

Ladybug is there, dressed as a baker.

You don't see Cat Noir anywhere though, maybe he's not here yet.

You spot your best friend, dressed as a character from her favorite show, at the food table, so you go back over.

"Hey bff/n!"

"Hey y/n! Or should I say Cat Noir?" she says with a playful wink.

You laugh and say "Just y/n, I haven't seen Cat yet, but Ladybug's over there." You nod towards the ever growing crowd.

"Ohh. How long have you been here?"

"Unless we count the eternity I stood in line, about fiveish minutes."

"Yeah, I haven't been here long either."

You nod and say, "So, did you bring a date? You never told me."

"Nope, flying solo. Hopefully I end up with a date before the night's over though!" She says with a goofy face.

"Good luck," You giggle.

"What about you? Didja snag somebody?"

"Nah, I basically only came for Cat Noir, he said he'd be bored and wanted a friend."

"Oohhh!" She makes a suggestive face at you and you laugh.

"I told you, we're not like that. Besides, he likes Ladybug."

"Oh right. Do you like him though?"

"I, um, I don't think so." Being put on the spot like that, you didn't really know what to say.

"So you do?"

"No, he's just a really good friend. That's all."

"Riigght..."

Before you can answer you hear "Um, hello, I couldn't help but notice your costume, I love that show! Would you like to dance?" Someone's asking bff/n to dance

"Well, how about that?" You wiggle your eyebrows at her as best as you can with the mask.

She laughs at you and agrees to dance with the stranger and leaves.

You just stand there, munching snacks when a door at the top of the staircase opens and out comes Cat Noir.

He stands there for a second, one hand in his pocket.

(All credit to FartingKitty07)

You laugh at his costume, an angel.

Looks like we had the same idea. You think.

Cat Noir's POV

I survey the mass of people, noticing most people are either on the dance floor, or still crowding Ladybug.

I was there a few minutes ago, until she told me that my accessories were falling.

I look towards the food table, wondering how angry my father would be if he knew about all the junk food I'd be eating, when I see a girl who looks like she's staring at me, laughing.

From what I can tell, she has on a black dress, black mask, black cat ears, and some green thrown in.

She's dressed as me!

I saw plenty of Ladybugs, just as expected, but rarely was there a Cat Noir.

I wonder why she's laughing at me though?

I glance upwards, my halo is on right, and so are my wings.

That's where I was, fixing them.

I'm hungry anyway, so I'll see if I can find out why she's laughing.

I walk up to the table and get a chocolate chip cookie with spiders made from the chips, and the girl says, "Hey Kitty. I thought I was the Angel?"

I almost choke on the cookie, it's y/n!?

"Y/n?!"

"Uh yeah, duh. Didn't you recognize me?"

"No!"

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. I guess I'm not good at seeing past a mask."

"Guess not," she laughs.

"So, looks like we had a similar idea, huh?"

"Yep. So do we have to switch nicknames for tonight?"

"Nah. You're still the angel." I wink playfully at her.

She chuckles at me, and asks how long I've been here.

"Since around 7:30, Ladybug and I helped set up."

"Ohh, how nice of you."

"Yeah, I'm an angel." I put a hand under my chin and make an innocent face. Until I start laughing too hard.

"Mmhhmm. Think you should go help Ladybug? She looks kinda trapped."

"Yeah, I guess. But they're not as eager to see me anyway."

"Why not?"

I shrug, "More people like her I guess."

"Well, they're missing out. You're pretty clawsome I think."

I laugh at her pun and thank her, she's acting the part, that's for sure.

"Well, I'll go see if I can get people to leave her alone, you wanna come help?"

"I don't know what I can do, but I'll try."

We walk over together, but not too close so people won't know that we're together.

"Ok, ok, make a path, partner coming through!" I try to get by, but it's not easy.

I finally reach Ladybug, but I lost y/n in the crowd.

I finally see her standing at the edge of the people and roll my eyes, crowds are not fun.

She laughs and tries to get a little closer.

"Ladybug, Ladybug! Why are you a baker?!" Someone, who's probably a reporter, asks.

"Um, I don't know, because I like to bake in my spare time I guess."

"Hm. Cat Noir, you are an angel, correct?"

"Yup."

"Why?"

"Because I'm angelic, obviously."

The crowd laughs, even Ladybug snickers.

I look at y/n and see she's laughing hardest, since she knows the actual reason.

She's so pretty I suddenly think, then shake my head, trying to clear it.

"Ok everyone, how about you all go have fun, and we'll do the same?" I say, I don't like being asked tons of questions.

A groan goes through the crowd, but they disperse for the most part.

"Whew! That was an ordeal." Ladybug gasps.

"Yeah. Do you wanna get some food?" I ask

"Uh, sure. Let's go."

"Oh, um, mind if I bring a friend?"

"Depends on the friend..."

"Y/n. You remember her right?"

"Yes. And I guess it's fine for her to come, I just wanted to make sure you didn't mean Chloe or something," she rolls her eyes and I laugh.

"Definitely not. Did you see her costume?"

"Yep, she literally came as herself!?"

"I know! She's always bragging about being Queen Bee anyway, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised."

"Not really."

We walk towards the food, stopping to ask y/n if she wants to come.

She does, so we all go over and pile the snacks on our plates.

We stand against a wall, trying to stay somewhat hidden, with me between the girls, and my heart is racing, I don't know why though.

It's a lot faster than it usually is around Ladybug.

"I'll be back, I'm gonna go get some drink. You guys want anything?" Y/n breaks the silence.

"I'm good, thanks anyway." Ladybug says and I say the same.

"K." I watch as Y/n walks back towards the food table and gets her drink.

She's turning to come back when a guy dressed as a devil or something comes up to her
=============================
You were turning to go back to Cat Noir and Ladybug when a guy dressed in a red suit with horns approaches you.

"Hey there, kitty cat, you wanna dance?" He says smoothly, yet you feel repulsed by it.

"Uh, no thanks. I'm busy."

"With what?"

"With my friend." You say curtly and try to walk off but he grabs your hand.

"Hey! Let go!"

"Come on, just one little dance?"

"I said no!"

You look back to the wall you were standing at and see Cat Noir with his fists clinched and a face of anger walking towards you, but before he can get there you throw the drink at the guy's face and he jumps back, and you quickly walk back to Cat.

He hugs you quickly and asks if you're ok.

"I'm fine. You should know by now that I can handle a creep."

"I do, it's just, he, I don't know, I just didn't want him to hurt you."

"Aw, thanks Kitty."

Cat's POV

When that guy came up to y/n a feeling I wasn't used to settled in the pit of my stomach, I don't know what it was.

When she tries to walk away and he grabs her hand I see red and start to go over, but y/n once again handles the creep by throwing her drink on him.

She power walks to me and I hug her, still feeling queasy.

"Are you ok, did he hurt you or anything?!"

"I'm fine. You should know by now that I can handle a creep."

"I know, it's just, he, I dont know, I just didn't want him to hurt you."

"Aw, thanks Kitty." She smiles and my heart starts beating wildly, she looks amazing.

These random thoughts about her are really getting out of hand.

We walk back to Ladybug, who asks if y/n is ok, and y/n says she's fine.

Suddenly Alya, dressed as Carapace, rushes up to Ladybug and asks if they can talk for a minute, she probably wants an interview.

Ladybug agrees and they go to a quieter corner of the room and I stand there with y/n, just talking, when suddenly a song I know pretty well comes on.

Y/n grabs my forearm and says, "I love this song! Come on, let's dance!!"

I smile at her enthusiasm and let her drag me onto the dance floor, and we start dancing like crazy.
=============================
You're standing with Cat, just talking, when Shut Up And Dance, one of your favorite songs, blasts over the speakers.
(sorry if you dislike the song)

You grab Cat's arm and say, "I love this song! Come on, let's dance!!"

He smiles at you and together you went to the dance floor and started dancing like crazy, singing along with the song and acting out some of the moves.

Ironically enough, you were actually wearing a backless dress and beat-up sneaks.

You and Cat were having a great time dancing, and just messing around.

Cat's POV (Told y'all there'd be way too many POV changes.)

I don't know why, but I'm seeing y/n like never before, we're acting out the song, and I actually do feel something different in my chest as she looks at me.

When the song goes off, we're breathing heavy from our crazy dances and a slow song comes on.
(Play top song now)

"Oh um, it's ok, we don't have to dance to this one, you probably wanna dance with Ladybug, right?" Y/n says, but I find that I want to keep dancing with her.

"I have all night to dance with Ladybug, so we can now!"

"Oh, cool. It's just, I don't know how to dance a slow song, I can just do fast and crazy."

I laugh and say, "It's ok, I'll show you!"

I take her left hand and put it on my shoulder, and her right hand in my left, with my right hand on her waist.

It's the first time my bare hand has really touched hers, other than that time in the store, because I usually have a glove on.

I can't say that I don't really like it.

"It's easy really, just swaying around mostly."

She hums her acknowledgement and focuses on not stepping on my feet.

We sway to the music, and stare into each other's eyes, and smiling, the rest of the party is melting away, until it's as if we're the only two people there.

"Y/n?"

"Yeah?"

"Have I told you that you look amazing tonight?"

"Uhm, no,"

"Well you do."

She smiles widely at me and says "Thanks. You do too."

I smile at her and we keep dancing.

Suddenly someone bumps her from behind and she's pushed into my chest.

Her hands go around my neck so I put both of mine around her waist, since that's another style.

We look at each other and blush slightly, and start moving closer and closer, I can't stop it, it's like we're in a trance.

We're about to meet, just a few inches apart.
=============================
As you're dancing with Cat, your stomach has butterflies going crazy.

The rest of the party is basically just a blur, as if you and him are the only ones.

He suddenly tells you that you look amazing, you smile and tell him he does too, you're blushing massively now.

Someone bumps you from behind, you look over and see your retreating best friend, looking at you with a wink and a smirk.

You make a face at her as you feel Cat's other hand place itself on your waist.

You've seen this before, it's another dance style.

You look at him and blush, and feel yourself being pulled closer, as if you're entranced.

You're just inches apart from him, and your mind goes mostly blank, except two thoughts.

Do I like one of my best friends? Am I about kiss him?

There's hardly any space between you now, and just as your eyes are closing and your lips are about to meet his, a fast song, Black Magic, bursts from the speakers, making you jump apart.

The slow song was barely finished.

"Uhm. You're a good dancer, thanks for showing me how." You say awkwardly.

"Oh, uh, yeah. You're good too."

"Thanks." You give a fake smile.

Cat's POV

I can't believe that just happened.

Was I really about to kiss my best friend?

We're so awkward now, even worse than when I found that drawing of me in her closet.

"I, uh, I gotta go to the, uh, bathroom. I'll see you in a bit." I make up an excuse and quickly walk off, I must seem like a total chicken or something.

I do go to the bathroom, but only to calm myself down.

I splash water on my face and stand there for a while, not knowing what to do.

Ladybug's POV

Immediately after Shut Up And Dance, one that almost everyone knew and was dancing crazily to, a slow song came on, and Alya wanted to dance with Nino, who wasn't far away, so she left and said she might continue the interview later.

I walk back to where I had been standing with Cat Noir and y/n, but they're not here anymore.

I look through the crowd to see if I can find them, and I finally notice Cat's giant angel wings.

They're dancing really closely.

They seem to be getting closer by the second.

I raise my eyebrows, I knew there was more than just friendship going on with them.

There's been plenty of signs

Him being adamant about not stopping his visits when I talked to him about her rushing into the attack.

He goes to see her all the time.

I once saw them on the Eiffel Tower together during my patrol, they had a blanket around each other and were standing close.

And especially tonight, when that guy asked y/n to dance.

Cat absolutely flipped.

And now. About to kiss it looks like.

Yet he still flirts with me some.

Definitely not as much as before though.

He hasn't even called me 'M'lady' in a while.

Can't say I don't miss it a little.

I look back to them, and they're almost touching now, but suddenly a fast song blasts out.

They jump apart and stand there awkwardly smiling and talking for a minute until Cat Noir rushes off, looking like a tomato.

I can't help but laugh at them.

Y/n just stands there looking around with a face red as my suit until she goes and gets a drink.

I approach her, I don't know what I'll say, but I want to know how she feels about Cat.

I really think they shouldn't be together, with him as a super hero anyway, maybe as a civilian.
=============================
Ladybug walks up to you and says hi.

"Hey." You reply, still flustered.

"So. Having fun?"

"Uh yeah. Tons!" Your optimism sounds fake even to you.

"Good. It's a nice party."

"Yep."

"Have you seen Cat?"

"Uhh, he just went to the bathroom."

"Ah. Listen, I'm not wanting to beat around the bush here. I saw you two dancing."

You stay silent for a minute until you ask, "Uh, when?"

"Just now. Before you came over here." Is Ladybug's reply.

"Oh." You know your face is red, probably more so than the 'blood' punch in front of you.

"Mhm. And I was just wondering if you and Cat are dating or something."

"What?! No way! He likes you!" At least, you think he still does. He hasn't really said anything about it lately.

"Oh yeah. Definitely still likes me." She says, full of sarcasm.

"Listen y/n, I think he likes you now, not me. He hasn't been flirting with me much lately, he hasn't even used his nickname for me. Has he been doing either of those to you?"

"Well, sometimes I think he's flirting, but I'm not sure. And he's always calling me 'Angel'."

"So is THAT why he's dressed like that?"

"Yeah."

"See? He likes you. Not me."

"But, he always seemed so serious about his feelings for you..." You trail off, Ladybug is really surprising you with all this.

"I think that was just a crush, and be only liked me because, well, I don't really know why for sure. But I can see how he looks at you, and he hasn't looked at me like that in a while."

"Really?"

"Yep. But the question is, do you like him?"

"I'm not sure, I've never really thought about it much."

"You said 'much', so you have given it some thought?"

"Maybe a little. But I don't know, I've just thought of him as a good friend since we met."

"And what about before that?"

"Well, I did have a pretty big crush on him, I guess. But that was before we became friends and I found out how much he likes you."

"Hmm. So do you ever get super awkward around him? Get butterflies and feel all blushy?"

"Yeah..." You admit to her.

"See? You do like him. But, I have to tell you, I don't think it's a good idea for you to be with him-"

You interrupt before she can continue, "What do you mean?! Have you finally realized how great of a guy he is, and how lucky you are for him to have a crush on you?!"

"What? No, I mean yes, I mean, UGH! I was going to say it wouldn't be a good, nor safe, idea to date a superhero. Do you think you know him as a civilian?"

"No. They only guy I remember ever seeing that made me think of Cat was a one time thing in a grocery store..."

The wheels are turning in your head, you remember Marinette saying she had a crush on a boy and had his pictures all over her walls, his name was Adrien Agreste, and he's a model. It was the same boy you met at the store, the one that had the same color hair and eyes as Cat.

Could that really have been Cat Noir in his civilian form?

You remember that zip you felt when your hand brushed Adrien's, the same zip as when you first touched Cat.

"Hold on, are you trying to figure out Cat's identity?!" Ladybug interrupts your thoughts, looking and sounding horrified.

"Uh. Maybe."

"Well stop! You are NOT supposed to know who he is!"

"I know, but-"

"No buts! Don't try to figure it out, or I will make sure that you never see Cat Noir again!"

"No! Please!" That sounds horrible, you really like him, just as a friend even, maybe as a crush, but still, you just really enjoy his company.

"Then don't try to figure him out! It might be ok to date, but you can't know who he is! At least, not until we catch Hawkmoth."

"Okay. I won't try to find out his civilian self. Just don't make us stay away from each other, please!" You say, feeling defeated.

"I'm not making any promises. But for now, just get your feelings straightened out!" Ladybug storms away, leaving you confused and upset.

"I have to have an emergency bffs night with bff/n." You whisper.

Cat's POV

I've finally calmed down from mine and y/n's dance, but I'm still confused.

Do I actually like y/n?

I've liked Ladybug for so long, but she always shoots me down.

Maybe I'll try one more time with her, and take it from there?

What if y/n doesn't even like me?

But she didn't pull away earlier...

I don't know! Maybe I could talk to Nino?

Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Surely he can give me some advice.

💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚
Wooww this is such a long chapter! I hope y'all enjoyed it! And I'll be back to my regular update schedule next week!
