Chapter Text
“No, kitty. No means no.”
Cat Noir went from semi-pout to full on pout, his eyes almost tearing with how much he was giving her the puppy- er, kitty eyes.
“No! Stop that!” Ladybug sighed, flailing her arm in his direction to hit him, thinking she would miss since Cat Noir had good reflexes. Except now. Her hand hit him in the face and she gasped when he dramatically collided with the floor.
“Cat Noir, come on! Don’t be like this!” she whined, kneeling by his side. He rubbed his cheek and even though he was already low by being on the ground, he hung his head even lower in disappointment.
Envious of Ladybug’s super shiny unifications, Cat Noir had been begging her for a few times now to lend him another Miraculous as well. He wanted that, a double transformation. As the Guardian, she just took the responsibility and couldn’t do such a thing. Not if it wasn’t necessary, and definitely not for the ‘cool transformation’.
“I’m sorry kitty,” she told him. For a moment there was a painful silence between them, but she then smiled at him and suggested: “Belly rubs?” with hopes of cheering him up.
It was actually hilarious how his face brightened as soon as she said that. “Oh, M'Lady! Yes please, since you offer so nicely.” His mood was immediately a lot better as he rolled onto his back.
Ladybug laughed and started to rub his belly. She then quite immediately turned that into a playful tickle attack, making him giggle adorably.
“Heheheey! Th-that ihihisn’t ー bwahah!” He threw his legs up and rolled, but she easily grabbed him and pulled him back. She then pinned him down with her knees and continued to tickle his tummy.
“Kitty cat asks for belly rubs, and belly rubs he gets,” she taunted with a smirk. Just seeing him smile and laugh didn’t only seem to completely lift his mood, it did wonders to hers as well.
“Hehehehee M'Laahahadehehe! Thahahat tickles whehehe!” Cat Noir cackled, squirming slightly. Ladybug wiggled her fingers around on his tummy some more, and then finally ceased the attack and let him breathe.
“Are we still friends?” she asked, smiling at him while he recovered from the tickles. The cutest giggles still left his lips, and he continued to smile.
“Yehehes. We are,” he said. He then turned his head a little and smirked up at her, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “But we could be more? Meow~”
Pft! Teasy Cat Noir was back! To punish him for that remark, Ladybug tickled him some more and enjoyed the way he squealed.
“Not a chance kitty!” she said, poking his tummy relentlessly.
“Buhuhuuuuuut! Waahahaha!” In the end, they parted again as friends, and she was relieved they were. Really relieved!
