imagine someone knocking chat down a peg though
for ex as @mademoisellecoccinelle suggested
lb’s explaining something and Chat noir cuts over her, as they’re both prone to do when they’re excited and she really doesn’t mind, but the reporter goes, “Could you can it for a second? We’re trying to listen to Ladybug.”
and he just
deflates
because in his head there's a rising litany of
but this is who I /am...
I only get to /be this so /rarely
imagine how angry and defensive ladybug would get
‘you don't get to say that to chat
//turns
u go best friend ur my best friend’
reinflate.exe is running
@mademoisellecoccinelle Lb just grabs his hand, and like this is a kid’s show so she doesn’t say “fuck off”
but you can see it in her EYES that’s what she MEANS
me: shed mouth it prob
mademoisellecoccinelle: SHE WOULD
imagine it’s a reporter
That reporter would be out of a job so fast
me: forreal on him being out of a job tho
m y god
i don't think his ass'd make it back to the studio
his boss is ten different shades of red and livid
'you want to tell me what the hell you thought you were doing destroying some of the best defenses this city has?'
turns out dude was struggling w his own self worth problems
@mademoisellecoccinelle what why did you make me sympathetic for an asshole reporter
me: actually saw chat being that bubbly, was envious, so in a fit of lack of understanding that there is no limitation on the number of people that can stand in sunlight, decided to be a child and act out
@mademoisellecoccinelle: my heart is breaking now
me: because people are people
there aren't /bad people
there are shitty ways of dealing with situations
and lack of understanding
of self and others
the guy ends up becoming an illustrator for kids books, and his main character has a familiar grin
@mademoisellecoccinelle :D
it’s the bbs favorite book series, when the bb comes along
me: YES
being a reporter was driving him up the wall, the tight deadlines the eat or be eaten attitude
when he became self employed and started to struggle for what he really wanted to do
he discovered better parts of himself
@mademoisellecoccinelle all of his books are dedicated to the lady in red and her alley cat
me: several years down the line, holding a large collection of children's books in his arms for referencing and running around he bumps into Adrien Agreste in the children's section of a bookstore
me: he sees something familiar in his eyes and goes
..I want to apologize.
And thank you.
And he looks so /utterly grateful.
And Adrien looks so /gentle when he smiles.
'Our little secret though yes?'
The author brings it to his grave.
