《True Love Kiss》11 - I miss you
Advertisement
"There you are..." Cat Noir said, jumping to his feet.
He had been sitting on the roof of the Notre Dame Cathedral for about half an hour, and he wondered if he had understood Ladybug correctly. She'd said: "Like on Wednesday." Like on Valentine's Day. He fed Plagg with a double portion of cheese and immediately ran to the spot. He sat down in the same place where he'd found Ladybug almost a week ago and waited.
He realised that he'd lived like in a dream for the last few days. These meetings with Ladybug, those kisses that he stole from her and which she started giving him back... How had this happened? He couldn't believe that he owed everything to one kiss – then, on Valentine's Day, right here...
"Yes, here I am." Ladybug nodded. "I keep my promises."
"Promises?" he asked surprised.
She approached to him slowly with a half-smile. She stopped right in front of him and knocked his cat's bell. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Do you remember now?" she asked.
Cat Noir was completely shocked. Was Ladybug... flirting with him?
She laughed at his expression.
"You're so sweet!" She whispered.
And then she climbed on her toes and kissed him. Cat Noir didn't understand completely, what had caused this change in Ladybug's behaviour, but he had no reason to complain, he focused on the present moment. He put his arms around her, and she plunged her hands into his hair. Suddenly, he... purred. His heart stopped for a moment, and Ladybug broke away from him in astonishment and looked at him with wide eyes.
"What was that?" she asked.
"I... I have no idea..." he stammered and flushed terribly.
She laughed and ruffled his hair.

"You know how to win a girl, Cat!" she said.
"Win?" He repeated in astonishment.
"Well, yeah... Win..." She nodded and hugged him.
And he put his arms around her and closed his eyes. He sighed happily. Ladybug laughed again. It occurred to her that recently she had been sighing as civilian self so often.
"What's up?" he whispered into her hair.
"No, nothing... You've just sighed."
"Because... I'm happy." he confessed suddenly.
"Just be careful that you don't get in trouble." she murmured.
"Why would I get into trouble?" He laughed.
"Er... I don't know..." she replied, suddenly embarrassed.
Cat Noir looked at her intently. To avoid his eyes, she hugged him tightly. Instinctively he put his arms around her, but he felt a strange anxiety. It was as if her words rang the bell, but he couldn't name it. Why did she get embarrassed? And why the fact that he was happy would make him get into trouble?
"I have to go..." she whispered suddenly and freed herself from his embrace.
"Stay..." he asked.
"I've told you that I go to school, remember?" She winked to him. "I have homework to do. You probably too."
"Homework will be there in one hour as well."
"Cat..." she sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Stay, please. At least for the sunset, Bugaboo. It's a pity not to use such a spot."
She laughed again.
"OK. But only the sunset." She agreed.
They sat side by side on the roof and stared into the horizon. Cat Noir hugged Ladybug, and she put her head on his shoulder. And they continued sitting in a complete silence, staring at the sun approaching to the horizon.
"I miss you." Cat Noir whispered suddenly.

She raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
"I'm here." she said.
"We see each other only on the occasion of the attack of the akuma." he explained. "And I'd like to..." he stopped suddenly embarrassed.
"What would you like to?" she asked, when he didn't continue.
"To see you more often." he finished. "Because of all these rules, I can't normally call you or walk you home. I miss you terribly, when I don't see you for a few days."
"We can meet here at the agreed time." Ladybug suggested.
"Tomorrow?" He asked hopefully.
"I can't." she replied quickly, reminding herself that she had arranged with Adrien to finish the poster. It was even before Professor Mendeleiev had cancelled Thursday's chemistry lesson.
"On Wednesday?"
"It can be on Wednesday." she smiled. "We can meet to watch another sunset."
"If there's no rain."
"Then take an umbrella. Just in case." she advised and stood up. "I really have to go."
"OK." he also stood up.
"So, see you on Wednesday, Kitty."
"Unless Hawkmoth takes care of our earlier meeting..." he joked.
She laughed. She climbed on her toes and kissed him good-bye.
When she jumped down, he felt an urge to follow her. But he knew that she would never forgive him if he followed her on the way home. At all costs, they had to keep their identities secret.

Transmigration Retiree
"What's that you say? I can never leave this reality ever? Good!" Ed, was a normal man in a world full of superheroes, so he didn't really have too many complaints when that first truck fell on him. After all he'd read enough comics to know that sometimes things just happen. Besides he'd been getting on in years when it happened, and his life till then, though lonely, had more or less been fully lived. The second time around when that one guy pushed him off a cliff for a chalice of immortal ambrosia, wasn't so cool though, and then there was that third time when he was just getting used to life as a lady, and that crazy goddess showed up out of nowhere and started ranting about purging the demon menace....then some other stuff happened and he briefly got to go back to earth before falling into a coma where he adventured in the world of dreams. Then the aliens came, and the dream ended and he was suddenly stuck being the AI Overmind for the whole damn star systm. The aliens died, and because he was all mechanical and what-not he just kind of had to keep on going. Forced to continue collecting the materials and data from countless worlds that were destoryed in the process. Then there was that whole war with the gods business that followed...mostly because of all that world destroying he did because of some fairly faulty programming. Anyway, thankfully someone pulled a "rocks fall" on that whole curfuffle, because by the time he was in control of himself again, things had long gotten out of hand. Now the powers-that-be tell him that he must spend the rest of his existence in single lonely section of the cosmos. Trapped in a single portion of a single universe. And now he weeps...No worries though, these are tears of joy. Hopefully this final unending existence he's been given will be the quiet life he's been looking for. A Man who's seen everything gets abducted by aliens and is converted into an AI that sits at the helm of a fleet of alien ships and behind the computer systems for most their planets. This Alien AI goes to war with the gods and ends up nearly destroying an entire reality. The Angels condemn the troublemaking AI to life as normal child on a far off world....All truth said, the "AI" couldn't be happier. His life's been far too interesting(read: Scary, Inconvenient and Painful) in his opinion and he could do with a bit of normalcy.
