Chapter Text
Pictures were your best friend. They made you cry, smile, laugh, and everything in between. You loved taking pictures of everything around you from people to landscapes. You were so content with having a finger always over the shutter button while you tried to get into focus. Your home country, [country], was the main subject of your photography. Every time you stepped outside, there was always something new to take a picture of. Whether it was a tourist visiting the sights or a bush full of blooming, you took it all in.
But, everything was about to change.
"We're... moving? Why?" Your heart nearly broke in half as you stood in front of your anxious parents. You loved [country] so much and now, you were going to leave it all behind? It wasn't fair.
Your dad refused to make eye contact with you before he began to speak. "I was transferred to our headquarters in France yesterday. We couldn't bring ourselves to tell you because... we knew you'd be hurt like this." Once his tired [e/c] orbs met your own, he had given up. "I'm sorry, dear. You should go pack. We leave tomorrow morning."
You lowered your head in grief before running up the stairs and entering your room, slamming the door shut. You dove into your bed and curled up into a ball, staring at the many pictures of your friends and [country] before letting a few tears slip down your face. Your home that you and your family built was slowly breaking in front of you.
You sat in the hotel room with your stuffed [animal/object], glaring at the bright skies of Paris. You left your home just 8 hours ago and you couldn't believe how bright and cheerful everything and everyone was in France. It was sickening but it did give you the urge to snap a few pictures on your way to the hotel. Curse this city.
"Alright. We'll be in our new house tomorrow and you'll be starting your first day of school tomorrow, [y/n]!" Your father's bright smile brightened up your sour mood, but the mention of a new school made you want to die inside. "Collège Françoise Dupont is the name, I believe and it's an art school! Isn't that perfect?" When you failed to response, he laid a large hand on top of your head and ruffled your [h/c] locks.
You glared at your father before feeling some of your anger bite down at his caring gaze. "I guess so. Well, I guess I'll go take a couple of pictures to distract myself from this torture." You slowly stood, tossing your [animal] to your bed before grabbing your camera and walking out of the hotel room. Your father laughed softly, running a hand through his graying [h/c] hair.
"That daughter of mine. Just like your mother back in her days..."
You aimed your camera up at the Eiffel Tower, a quick click heard along with a bright flash. Looking at the small screen and smiling, you numbered this picture as number 15 since stepping out. France was full of scenic territories, giving you a rush that no other could feel. You continued to walk down the sidewalk before stopping at a park and spotting something strange. There was a photo shoot going on, a group of girls watching the shoot from behind a tree, and balloons covered with some girl everywhere. Oh boy.
You stepped into the park and aimed your camera at the group, catching the tired expression on the young model's face. He couldn't have been older than 16 but the way the wind perfectly brushed against his bright golden locks and the sun refracted into his striking green eyes gave him a mature air. You snapped a few pictures of the male and around the park before shivering. When did it get so cold?
You looked around only to find someone strange. The girl looked quite angry with her dark lolita type outfit on and glowing umbrella. Wait. Glowing? Oh, this would not turn out well.
The skies darkened and you could feel a few snowflakes falling in front of your surprised [e/c] eyes. It was just bright and sunny and now it was snowing like hell. You didn't know what was gonna happen, but you didn't want to stick around for it. Being as sneaky as you possibly could be, you slithered your body to the gate before letting a yelp escape as an ice wall rose and blocked your only way of escape.
"And where do you think you're going?" A chilly voice rose and couldn't help but shiver in fear as you turned to be face-to-face with this villain. "You'll be my bait to draw out Ladybug and Chat Noir!"
Oh, this was not going to be fun.
You remained still on the bench while your fingers fiddled with your camera. Even though you were in some serious peril, you wanted to snap a picture so bad. You were also hoping this Chat Noir and Ladybug would be here soon to rescue you. You managed to sneak in a few pictures of the villain as she waited for the heroes. "My first day in France and this is what happens? Bullshit, man."
As you sulked in anger, a black blur shot out past you and took down the villain rather easily. You blinked in surprise as said blur stood and walked over to you, scooping you up soon after. "Are you alright, ma cherie?" You froze on the spot. This man looked down at your frightened body with a flirtatious smirk as he brought you to safety. You hadn't even noticed the two of you left the park.
"I-I'm fine..." You mumbled, trying to tear your gaze from his glowing jade orbs that seemed to tear you apart and put you right back together again. Your cheeks began to flush before you finally tore your gaze from his eyes to observe the rest of him. A skintight black suit with a bright yellow bell at his neck, cat ears, and a matching tail completed his rather wild look and you came to the realization that he must be Chat Noir.
He looked over his shoulder to see his love Ladybug swing onto the scene before dipping low and smirking while giving your trembling hand a soft kiss. "Well, my lady, it's time for me to depart. I hope to see you again under different conditions." With that, he hopped away to defeat the akumatized villain. You scrambled to take a picture and when you did, something swelled up in you.
Staring at the picture you took of your savior, you couldn't help but be enchanted by his brilliant gaze and pleasant smile. "Chat Noir.."
