"Hey." A disembodied voice says.

"Who's there?!" You demand as you quickly turn.

"It's just me, don't worry." The voice comes again as a figure steps from the shadows.

"Oh, uh, hi." You say.

"Hi. I need to talk to you. Or, apologize, really." The spotted heroine says, surprising you.

"For what?"

"A few things. Firstly, for threatening you at the dance. I was way out of line."

"Oh, yeah. It's ok, just, why? Why did you say such mean things?"

"It's partially not my fault, um, this is kinda weird, but my kwami was on her period. So it wasn't all me, but still, I'm sorry."

"Kwamis have periods?" You ask, confused.

"Yeah. Even males."

"Huh. Weird."

"Uh huh. But I also need to apologize for something else. More recent."

"What?"

"Well, I um, I kind of came onto Cat Noir." She says, looking sheepish.

"You did what now?!"

"I was flirting with him, even though I knew you guys were together. I'm sorry."

"Why? I thought you didn't like him?"

"I didn't. I don't. I'm not really sure..."

"Well don't do it again." You cross your arms.

"I won't! And you should know, as soon as I started doing anything he told me stop. He left after a minute of me flirting. So he's loyal."

You smile at the thought of that, especially since you know he had a huge crush on her.

"I'm glad. Not that I was worried about it, but it's good having it confirmed."

"Yeah. Well, I should probably go. I'm sure Cat doesn't want to see me." She says looking in the direction Cat left to.

"Uh, if you think so. Oh, and thanks."

"Huh? For what?" She looks confused.

"For coming and apologizing. I appreciate it."

"Oh, yeah. I just saw you two out, so I followed."

You nod, before feeling a whoosh of air.

"What are you doing?! You're not being mean to her are you!?" Cat says, jumping between you and Ladybug.

"No, Cat! She was apologizing!" You quickly reassure him.

"What for?" He says, skeptically.

"For coming onto you. I'm sorry about that, by the way." Ladybug speaks up.

"Oh. Ok." Cat relaxes.

"Can either of you forgive me?"

"Yes. As long as it doesn't happen again." You say protectively.

"What she said."

"Thank you. Um, I'll go now." Ladybug says as she takes out her yo-yo.

Before either of you can say anything she's swinging away.

"So, got flirted with by a superhero, huh? That must be cool." You say slyly.

"Eh, I've had more interesting." He replies offhandedly as he turns to face you better.

"Really? Who?" You ask, intrigued.

"An angel." He says, trying to sound mystical. 

"Oh yeah?" You play along with his game.

"Yeah. She was beautiful! And so sweet, and just wonderful!" He goes on.

You blush at his words, making him smirk.

"And you know what? That angel decided to be my girlfriend! Can you believe that? Me, a mangy alley cat dating an angel!"

"Oh, you're not mangy!"

"You think?"

"I know!"

"Do you now?"

"Oh yeah. I mean, surely an angel wouldn't date someone with mange. Angels have purrty good taste."

"They meowst, if they make such clawsome puns." He says, getting closer.

"Of course, beclaws only the best can catually make sense."

"Yepurr." He puts his hands on your waist, pulling you even closer.

You wrap your arms around his neck and whisper "Defurnatly." Before pulling his lips to yours.

After finishing the kiss Cat looks deeply into your eyes and says, "I love you. You're such a great friend."

"Huh?!" You say with a confused face, making him burst into laughter.

"For so long I denied that I had feelings for you and insisted to myself that you were 'Just a friend'." He explains as he continues laughing.

"Oh yeah. I did that too."

"Really?" He stops laughing so much.

"Yep. I didn't want to ruin our friendship."

"Me either."

You both giggle at the prospect of liking each other, but not admitting it for the same reasons.

"Well, do you wanna go home or do you want to stay here for a while?"

"Can we stay just a bit? I was talking to Ladybug and didn't look."

"Yeah, that's fine."

So you both go to the railing and look out over the city, with your back pressed to Cat's chest and his arms around you.

For warmth.

He rests his head atop yours and starts purring.

You giggle at his groan, and continue watching the quiet streets of Paris.

Not much happens at such a late hour.

You yawn, and lean back to look at Cat.

"Tired?" He asks.

"Just a little." You say, letting out another yawn.

"I think it's your bedtime. Come on." Cat says, and picks you up.

Only this time he carries you like a baby.

"Cat, how are you gonna run without using your staff?"

"Don't worry about that, I've done it before."

"So you just carry people like this all the time?" You ask, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, sometimes I carry people to safety during akumas, but I was mostly talking about that time you fell asleep on me and I carried you back." He starts running forward.

"Oh. You could've woken me up then, y'know."

"And why would I do that? You look so cute when you're sleeping!"

You blush, and mumble "Whatever.", making him laugh.

"You do." He says and jumps.

It was a sudden leap that you weren't expecting, so you gasp a little and cling tighter to him.

"Don't worry, I won't drop you." He says and looks softly at you.

"I know, I just wasn't expecting that."

"Ah. It probably is a bit jarring, huh?"

"Just a bit." You joke.

He reaches your balcony and puts you down.

"Thanks Kitty. That was fun. I'm glad I could "experience the best part". " You say with air quotes.

He laughs and says, "No purroblem."

You giggle, and kiss his cheek.

"Good night." You say.

"Night, Angel." He replies, before turning and jumping away.

You smile and go inside, then start getting ready for bed.

On the other side of Paris, the cousin of a certain cat is still awake, trying to finish homework, when he hears a clatter.

He gets up from the desk in his temporary bedroom and walks in the direction the noise came from.

He hears a whispered scold and apology, then a "G'night Plagg." which is responded with a raspy "Night, Adrien." From a voice he's never heard.

Then the sound of a flop, which he assumes is onto a bed.

A sigh.

But not sadly, it sounded happy.

Wondering what this means, he sneaks back to 'his' room and gets into the bed.

Who the heck was he talking to? Is the main question he thinks on.
