Hi everyone!  Ready for Chapter 2!?

Where were we again...?

Oh, RIGHT.  Our crying kitten. ;-;

Let's continue!!!

Marinette / Ladybug

Chat Noir, I'm coming.

Ladybug swung her yoyo with all her might, trying to get to Chat as soon as possible.  She didn't want people to see him breaking, and she wanted to give a talking to for those reporters who didn't even care about why Chat was crying in the first place.  All they cared about was getting a good headline.

Ladybug scowled.

I hope this isn't going on the LadyBlog.  She would have to talk to Alya about that later.

Eventually, she made her way to the Eiffel Tower, and she could make out the helicopter that was circling the monument, and Chat himself.  Her heart broke when she saw him.  He looked utterly destroyed.

"HEY!" she called out, desperate to put the attention on her instead of Chat.  She saw Chat smile a little when he saw her, and she landed beside him.  

"Are you okay?" she asked him gently.  Unsurprisingly though, he shook his head.  She glared at the news copter.

"Stop recording!" she cried out, and when they didn't stop, she swung over there herself, forcing it to land.  A little ways away, a few teens were watching the scene, though one was significantly shorter and was having a hard time seeing. 

"Let me see," he was saying, but one of the taller people turned back to him, saying "No way, shortie, losers don't get to see."

Ladybug sighed.  She would have to go deal with that too, or someone was getting akumatized.  She turned back to the people in the helicopter, ready to give them a piece of her mind.

"First," she told them, as firmly as she could, "Stop filming."  

They didn't.

Fed up with them, she swung her yoyo at the camera, smashing the lens and sending it crashing towards the floor.  "Now that that's taken care of," she said, angry, "Would you film regular civilians if they were having a break down!?  I think not.  So what makes Chat Noir any different!?  Just because he's a superhero, doesn't mean that you have to know everything about him.  Sometimes, we want space.  You have- no, need- to understand that.  Look at him!  Those are his private feelings!  If someone- anyone- ever looks like that, don't ever film them.  Ever.  Or I'll come and stop you again." Ladybug was tired, tired of having to deal with this nonsense.  She put her hands on her hips.

The reporters seemed to come around though, for they were starting to apologize.  "We're sorry," one of them said.  "It won't happen again."  Although Ladybug didn't think that that was the case, she let them go anyways.

"Leave," she said, then swung up to meet Chat where he was still sitting.  As soon as she landed, he crawled over to her, still crying, and her heart melted.  "Come here, Kitty," she said, and pulled him into a hug, wrapping her arms around him tight.  He sobbed into her, large, gulping, hiccuping sobs that made her want to cry too.  "Hey, hey," she tried soothing him, rubbing his back.  Cats like to be pet, right?  "Don't worry, Chaton.  I've got you."

They stayed there for quite a long time.

After a while, Chat's sobs subsided, and she pulled apart from him.  "Feeling better?" she asked, smiling at him.

He looked at her.  "A little," he said, wiping his eyes.

She grabbed onto him.  "Hold on, we're going to go somewhere else," she told him, and felt as his gloved hands grabbed onto her.  "Ready?" she asked, and saw him nod.  "Okay, let's go then," she said, and swung away from the Eiffel Tower.  

Eventually, she got to a small greenspace with a bench on the far side and a couple of thorny bushes, and a few small shops surrounding it.  As soon as she sat him down on the bench, though, it started to rain.  I thought I was supposed to be lucky!  She gave Chat a concerned look though when he started shivering.  Suddenly, she got an idea.  "Can you stay here for a bit?" she asked him.  He nodded again, still shivering.

Ladybug walked over to one of the small shops and greeted the owner.  "Do you happen to have a spare blanket here sir?  I'll bring it back."  The owner looked at her funny and handed her a folded fleece blanket.  "It's one of our promotion prizes," he explained, and when Ladybug started to look reluctant, he insisted she take it.  "You don't have to return it," he added.  "You're Ladybug after all."  Ladybug smiled at the kind man and thanked him.  She then ran out of the store back to Chat, who was still shivering.  She put it over him, and covered herself with it as well.

"Do... do you want to tell me what happened?" she asked him gently.  She didn't want to pry on him, but she wanted to know if she could be of any help.

"W-Well," Chat started, his voice still raw from crying, "Since we were fighting really late, I got back home late.  My father... he's really strict.  I mean really strict.  He used to be okay, but after... after my mom disappeared... he hasn't been the same."

Ladybug looked at him sympathetically.  "I'm sorry, Chaton, I had no idea."

Chat shook his head.  "It's okay.  It's hard... but it gets better.  Anyways, my father, at one point, wouldn't even let me leave the house.  He got better after I started to go to school, but he still keeps an eye on me, everywhere.  I don't even know how I can be Chat Noir without him finding out.  But today... the akuma had be home late, and of course he decided to come in my room.  I couldn't even make it look like I was sleeping.  He accused me of going to a 'party'" he used air quotes for party, "which I took as a cover story.  But now, he's told me I can't go to school or leave the house and he's probably going to install a security camera in my room and he'll know I'm Chat Noir and I won't be able to be Chat anymore and I won't get to see any of my friends or you-"

"Woah," Ladybug said, resting her hands on his shoulders.  "Take a breath." she watched as he took a deep breath, then another.  "Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked him.  She felt really bad; no one deserved to have strict parents like that.  

Chat shook his head.  "No, I don't think so.  It's just... it's just a lot to take in," he told her, looking away.  There was some red evident on his cheeks, what was that about?

She saw him take her advice and take another breath.

"That's it, Chaton," she told him encouragingly, hugging him again.  "If there is anything, I mean anything, I could do to help you, just dial me up.  I'll always be there, Chaton."

He smiled at her.  "You know, My Lady," he said, "Sometimes I get really sad.  But then I see you, and it's like all of the bad feelings just go away.  They leave, and I get happy again.  You make me happy, Ladybug.  I guess what I'm trying to say is..."

"You're my light."

Awww... Kitty... wait what!?  Was that a confession?

"C-Chat," she stammered, blushing a little herself.  Adrien was the one she liked, but she knew that some part of her, deep inside, liked Chat too.  I wish they were the same person.

"Well, I'd be lion if I said I wasn't grateful for you, Ladybug," Chat admitted trying to steer the conversation in a different direction, which earned him a playful smack from Ladybug for the pun.  "Thanks, M'lady, for helping me," he told her, smiling.  Ladybug smiled too; he was getting back to his normal happy self.  

"No problem Chato-"

"LADYBUG!  CHAT NOIR!  I'VE FINALLY FOUND YOU!"

Both of the heroes turned to see a levitating person standing behind them, looking at them evilly.  Ladybug recognized his voice from earlier; it was the guy who couldn't see, the short one.  She realized that she'd never gone over and talked to them, and that meant that he must have been...

The purple butterfly symbol appeared on his face.

...akumatized.

Hi again everyone!  That's it for chapter 2!  Hope you all enjoyed it!  The fluff in this chapter, omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg-

SylveonKwami.exe has stopped working.

And yeah for the akumatized person... I couldn't really think of another way to get them akumatized... and I know that was really unimaginative... oh well.  I hope you liked it anyways!

Also... if you want other books to read, I have two other books posted on my account too!  One of them is a Pokemon/Amourshipping story (if you are a fan) and the other book is a story with original characters, not set in a fandom, called A World Of Her Own.  Go check them out if you want, it would definitely make this SylveonKwami very happy!   

Well... that's all for now!  Have an awesome day / night!

Stay tuned ;)
