“Well…. I certainly didn’t think our night out would end up with me in handcuffs.” 

No response. The air grew uneasy. 

“Well- at least not this early on in the night.” 

There was no amused grin, no amused laugh, just an excessive amount of extreme un-amusement bursting from Ladybug. the dotted hero knelt behind her feline companion and shook her head fidgeting around with the cuffs in attempt to loosen them. 

“Be careful, I told him. This akuma won’t be an easy one, I said. But does he listen? No…” She mumbled accidentally tightening the cuffs a bit around his wrists. 

“I can hear you…” He called back leaning his head backwards and looking up towards the ceiling of the darkened room. 

“And..?” Ladybug shot back, “We’re a team for a reason Chat, you can’t just go off and try to handle everything on your own.” she sighed managing to gain some progress with the cuffs. 

“She just caught me off guard is all-” he began to explain being cut off by the anxious beeping of his miraculous. There was only a minute left. 

“I’m just glad that you’re safe. You need to be more careful, what would have happened when I didn’t show up on time and that akuma discovered your identity, hell, even stole miraculous?” she explained a hint of anxiety rushing through her breath. 

As upset she was with her partner she knew he was just trying to help. There was nothing to blame him for, after all, he was just doing his job. Ladybug had been searching endlessly that night after she had destroyed the akuma. She knew Chat was somewhere in Paris with limited time left. The masked hero just wanted her friend safe and away from any danger or revealing situation. When she found him there, in an abandoned warehouse handcuffed to a metal pole there was a type of emotion that overcame her that she couldn’t quite understand. 

“I’m sorry..” Chat muttered.

The feeling overcame her- her hands released the metal cuffs around his hands and slowly slid them under his arms and around his torso holding onto him tightly. Her forehead pressed against the back of his head with her face buried in his messy blond locks. Chat’s cheeks were burning and he couldn’t help but grin.

“Uh... Ladybug - I hate to ruin the moment but this Cat’s gotta pounce” he hurried attempting to see if he could slide his own wrists through the cuffs unsuccessfully.

“R-Right..!” The flustered bug stuttered finally loosening the cuffs enough for him to slip out.

The two stood awkwardly for a few moments before he broke the silence.

“My Lady, I can never be more grateful for everything that you have done, but I must be off.” He explained rubbing the back of his neck anxiously with fidgeting feet. 

“Be safe, Chaton.” She smiled watching him set off from the empty warehouse. She stood for a few moments bitting her bottom lip. It was a long day and she was ready to head home.

A clicking sound echoed off the empty walls of the warehouse. The strong feeling of an electric current filled the air. 

“You didn’t think that you could get rid of me so easily, now did you Ladybug.”
