#bingeday

She caught it with a sigh as Ladybug entered, no doubt having woken up earlier than the two wild children but walking at a more sedate pace. Her mask, as always, was placed firmly over her eyes, and her ever-impressive yoyo was wrapped around her hip. Supposedly the yoyo used some kind of tech to keep a bunch of items stored inside, like a utility belt.

The others brushed it off as magic, calling it her lucky charm.

Speaking of magic, Juleka let her own envelop a kettle and tea set to begin the process of brewing her morning concoction while Adrien and Max began making breakfast, working in tandem.

A few minutes later, Alya bounded in as energetic as ever and firmly planted herself in the seat next to Ladybug. As always, she would be the one to initiate the first conversation of the morning by asking how everyone was.

“Good morning, guys!” the mutant spoke with a beaming smile, “How’s breakfast coming along?”

Max responded, turning to face the seated titans, “I am preparing a balanced meal with lean meats and fruit to provide energy for the day.”

“And I’m making pancakes!” Adrien said joyfully without turning around.

“So none of LB’s ridiculously sweet sweets today?”

“Nope. Today is balanced breakfast bingeday.”

Ladybuug and Alya glanced at Adrien, who had moved to get the syrup. “Today is what?”

“Bingeday. Like Wednesday, but for binging shows. I finally convinced Juleka--”

“He wouldn’t shut up.”

“--to binge “Cantankerous Cool Cats” with me.“

“It was either watch it with him or kill myself.” Juleka explained, “I’m not sure I made the right choice.”

“Oh come on,” Adrien paused his pancake production to grab the squealing kettle and hand it to the witch, “You’ll make it brew this alive.”

The others groaned.

“Well, Ladybug and I are gonna head to the training room,” Alya said around her orange slices as she inhaled them.

“Don’t spend all day on the couch. Just because we’re quarantined doesn’t mean we can let ourselves be too lax.” Ladybug wiped her face with a napkin, somehow already finished with her modest two plates.

“Yeah, I refuse to suffer such an asinine show, so I’ll head to the garage and get this week’s robot maintenance done early.” The cyborg stood with his plate and left the room, briefly wishing the dark titan luck.

Juleka sighed into her cup. At least her tea was soothing.

As Juleka soon realized, the titular Cool Cats were quite cantankerous. Within the first five minutes of the pilot episode, Tom and Leo had gotten into a catfight over who was a better hunter.

Towards the end of the second episode, however, Juleka was invested. As it turned out, Leo and Tabby were lovers before Tabby left the Cool Cats to join an opposing spy faction known as the K Nine.

Juleka and Adrien continued to watch as the characters dug themselves further and further into their own graves, misconceptions and misunderstandings piling on top of one another and driving a wedge further and further between the once friendly Cool Cats until the five felines had split up and caused five separate plotlines to be written.

By the time they finished the first season, Juleka was steadfastly refusing to acknowledge the tears in her eyes and hoping Adrien did the same. She wouldn’t had thought Adrien would be into this kind of show. Looking for something else to think about, Juleka noticed how dark it was outside. “How long has it been?” She asked as Adrien’s stomach growled.

"Have you two seriously been watching that all day?" Ladybug walked in, Alya tiredly following behind. "It's nearly seven. Max is out getting takeout for us. Did you two even eat lunch?"
