The akuma battle was creating destruction all over Paris. Candy, the sugar-coated akumatized 8 year old, was making the two heroes of the city get into some sticky situations. They didn't want to hurt her because she was so young, but they still needed to stop her.

~~~~Ladybug's Point of View~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Candy swung another lollipop at my legs. I quickly dodged and threw my yoyo while pulling myself up in order to swing to safety.

Chat extended his staff and launched into the air as a maple syrup slime was about to swallow him.

"How is she so strong?" Chat asked while studying her.

I giggled slightly," she has a sugar high and she's 8, that's enough energy to supply a whole city."

Chat seemed to blush at my laugh and I opened my mouth to speak, but suddenly I was pulled from the ledge of the building by a licorice rope.

"My lady!" Chat shouted as he ran after me.

The determination was clearly in his eyes as he scooped me up and broke the red vine.

"Eeeeewwwwwwww! Gross!" Candy shouted while covering her eyes and sticking out her tongue.

"Now now, it's purrrrrfectly wonderful to be in love." He said while wiggling his eyebrows at me.

I huffed in annoyance while climbing out of his arms.

"It's too sweet for me! Candy Apple Bomb!" Candy screeched while a small candy apples shot at us at blinding speed.

I managed to dodge some, but Chat wasn't so lucky. He took a direct hit to the eye.

He grimaced and clutched the right side of his mask. I grit my teeth. Nobody hurts my partner.

"Lucky Charm!" I chanted while extending my yoyo into the air. A tiny wedge of broccoli fell into my palm.

"What the heck am I supposed to do with this?!" I said out loud.

Chat stumbled beside me with his eye swelled shut. He suddenly had a creepy grin on his face,"feed her that and we'll see."

I ran forward.

"Candy shards!" She screeched.

Blinding pieces of colored sugar began to slice through the air. They were heading straight towards me. Before I knew it, I was pulled into an embrace, while being completely shielded from the onslaught of dangerous sweetness.

Chat held me close. His slight whimpers of pain drove me to my limits. A tear escaped from my mask. Chat wiped it away and placed his shaky hand on my cheek.

"D-don't worry Bugaboo....it will all be over...soon." He said in between grimaces.

The attack was over and Chat collapsed. One look at his slashed back pushed me over the edge.

"Don't touch my partner!!" I screamed as I ran at Candy.

"Peppermint staffs!" She shouted as red and white minty sticks shot from her hand. I used them to get as close as possible to the villain. Her mouth was agape with surprise and I took the opportunity to throw the vegetable into her mouth.

The sugary princess held her throat and coughed in disgust. I grabbed the candy bracelet that had been hiding an akuma and snapped it in half.

"No more evil doing for you, little akuma." I said.

"I free you from evil!" My yoyo was glowing.

"Bye bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!"

Everything went back to normal, except for Chat's injuries.

I quickly ran to his side and fell to my knees. His eye was worse and his back was an array of bloody lacerations.

"Hey, my lady. Did you save the day?" He asked softly.

I nodded my head, "let's get you cleaned up."

I heaved him onto my shoulders and used my yoyo to get us to the Eiffel Tower. We had a first aid kit stored there for emergencies. It was our meeting place.

By the time I had arrived, it was already dark out. I set Chat down and quickly tried to make him as comfortable as possible. His back was facing up and he moaned in pain.

"Shh. It's going to be ok." I reassured him.

I poured some antiseptic onto a piece of gauze. My hand shook.

"This is going to hurt a bit." I said softly.

I offered my hand and he took it gratefully. I slowly began to run the gauze over his back. Chat sucked in a shaky breath and squeezed my hand tightly. He tried not to arc his back, but he was shaking uncontrollably.

I went as fast as I could. A couple of drops of water fell onto his back. I was crying wasn't I? Chat began to stop shaking as I put some bandages onto his cuts.

I helped him sit upright so I could address his black eye. My hand trailed along his cheekbone until it reached his right eye. It was nearly as black as his mask. He continued to stare at me.

"Can I lift up part of your mask? I won't look, I promise." I said timidly.

He nodded and I grabbed another piece of gauze. I applied a healing salve onto the surface and took a deep breath.

As he was removing one side of his mask, I quickly shut my eyes. His hands guided mine to his hurt eye. I lightly dabbed the medicine onto the swollen eyelid. The sounds of Paris filled my ears. It was like it was only us in the world.

My hand faltered and the affection for my partner hung in the air. I leaned in slowly and I could sense that he did too.

His warm lips met mine. It was crazy, but I kissed back. The kiss was slow and passionate. My hands became tangled into his hair. We pulled away, my eyes still closed, and pressed our foreheads together.

"Why do you save me?" I asked, a question that had been trapped in my mind from the beginning of our partnership.

He pressed a kiss to the top of my head,"because I don't want to lose another person who means so much to me."

Someone else? He secured his mask over his eyes as I opened mine. It was just us, on the glowing Eiffel Tower, in each other's arms. Right where we should be.
