Chiron: *walking into the aphrodite cabin because theres a loud commotion coming from inside*
Litterally everyone packed into the Aphrodite cabin acting out a story written by Lacy and directed by Connor:
This is neither the first nor last time this has happened. Last time they were doing Epic the musical and Leo got convinced to play Hera in stunning makeup. This one's just low budget.
—!——!—
Bonus:
Chiron: Children, I love that you are exploring your creativity through the arts while supporting each other, but please do not crowd the Aphrodite cabin as it's a fire hazard.
Chiron: I will allow you all to use the amphitheatre for these creative endeavours. Clean up afterwards please. ❤️
I'm back with more PJO/Riordanverse headcanons! Some of these are also just ways I would have done things after seeing then in new perspectives. This'll probably be a long post so I'll put this all under the cut.
Imma start with the headcanons!
Malcolm and Jake were actually dating for a while but only told everyone after Nico and Will both came out.
Adding on to my Genderfluid Percy headcanon from before, Percabeth are both bi so Annabeth doesn't mind.
Mitchell came around during the Sea of Monsters quest and Lacy came at the same time as Drew due their mortal parents living in the same area since they go to the same school
Clovis has actually been at the camp nearly the same amount of time as Annabeth due to his sleep powers hindering his mortal mothers life, she left on the hill.
Thalia and Grover set up small hidden demigod camps for quests since it's common for monsters to destory your supplies. They are able to do this because they travel a lot.
Percy, and Annabeth often invite Will and Nico over so they can help eachother with eachothers Tartarus experiences.
Percy and Annabeth consider Nico a little brother and let him stay over at anypoint once they have their own home.
Every year Percy has three birthday parties. One at camp courtesy of his fellow campers, one at his home with his closest friends, and his family, and one with his cousins where they go out. Often the one from hosted by Sally and Paul is the only one actually on his birthday. The other two often happen the next day.
After Jason's death Leo and Piper decided to start meeting up at least once durung the school year, to check up on eachother. They are sometimes joined by others.
Percy knows how to cook, on the other hand Annabeth is not the best at cooking.
Clarisse and Percy spar together for fun when either of them need a break from everything else in life.
Clarisse often treats Will like a little brother because of how young he was when he became head medic and how many times he healed her despite her rude words at first.
Magnus and Annabeth have meetups almost every month, occasionally Percy and/or Alex will tag along. Annabeth and Percy have yet to tell Camp.
Percy and Annabeth also often meet up with Carter and Sadie for food. They like to check up on the younger kids. Percaveth had yet to tell Camp about these two as well.
When Sally and Paul want a date amnight and Percy and Annabeth aren't available the rest of the seven or Nico and Will are open to babysitting Estelle so the two can still go out. Everyone loves Estelle.
Now for the changed storylines.
I would have had Percy and Annabth stand up for Nico more during the deabte to go save him from the jar as they have know him since he was ten and it just makes sense.
Caleo but platonic. I've seen many points made by others where it shows Caleo isn't the best and honestly it is a bit strange to resolve Leo's arc by giving him a romantic relationship with an immortal much older than him. So instead of having them date, I'd have them bond over them both having bad luck with relationships and give them a sibling relationship.
I would have Drew be mentioned much earlier, give her a big relationship with Silena. She's always with her sister, looking up to her. She was always kinda of a mean girl but she masks her sorrow about Silena with more hate.
Talk about Jason's missing memories more. He never fully got his back, have him ask Reyna about his life, and Thalia about their mother.
I would make Ares just... Less the way Rick made him. He respects girls in his myths, he supports the Amazons. Yet he abuses his daughter? Have him be a supportive father that just hates other demigods cause they think of him as mindless war disrespect his children.
Similarly I would change Hera. Yes, it makes sense for her to dislike Thalia and maybe other big three children because of the myths. But not any other demigods. She, along with being the goddess of marriage and childbirth, is also the goddess of family and women. So many demigods have horrible families, let her support them discreetly by allowing her cabin to be the cabin for unclaimed campers, or perhaps by leading young demigods to Artemis so she can help them get to camp.
More seafam shit. Percy and Triton bonding, Percy meeting his other godly siblings other than Kym, Amphitrite getting to know Percy and acting like a stepmother, etc, etc. I need more of this.
That's all I have for now! I may post an au ideas post soon. I have many aus, some inspired by fics and some are completely made up of my own dumb thoughts.
It's literary 12am on a Sunday morning and I spent all fucking week writing this, this better go viral. Anyway have some shit writing, I didn't edit this either, so sorry for any errors
---------------
Hazel was tired. More than usual to be honest. She looked awful, she felt awful. Hazel hated it, but she needed to finish all of her makeup work. Then there was all her preator work. Hazel was busy, she didn't have the time to sleep. There was work that needed to be done, she could sleep later. That idea would've been fine, if it weren't for the fact Hazel hadn't been actually been sleeping. Not even taking naps.
The longer it went on, the more obvious it has gotten. None of the older demigods had realised it until it had really gotten out of hand. First there was Leo.
“Hey!” The young Latino boy say causing Hazel to jump a bit. “Oh, hi Leo!” Hazel smiled sheepishly rubbing her eyes. “Is everything ok? You look..tired.”Leo said a little concerned. “Oh no, I'm fine. I've been sitting down working for too long” Leo frowned looking at all the work Hazel had around her on the counter top. “Well, don't forget to take a break and a nap.” Leo said before running of to do gods know what.
A few days later, on Wednesday, Percy had woken Hazel up in the same spot Leo had found her. This time Hazel seemed to be a lot more tired. Hazel was hardly awake when Percy had found her. Percy gently tapped the dark skinned girls shoulder. Hazel jolted up from her sleep. She had been asleep. Hazel looked around dazed hitting Percy in the face with her hair.
“Ahh!” Percy spat. “On your left Hazel!”
“Huh!? Oh sorry Percy!” Hazel blinked a few times. “Hazel, you're way too tired you need to go to bed. Plus, you have a test tomorrow, you can hold on the preator stuff for a bit. Take a nap.” Percy said as he started sorting some of Hazel's work. “Hey, wait what are you doing!?” Hazel said covering her papers with her arms.
“Cleaning up your stuff so you can rest.” Percy said. “I'll sleep in a bit, I promise, just a few more minutes!” Hazel pleaded looking Percy in the eye. Percy looked Hazel back in her eyes. He regretted it instantly. After only a few seconds he caved. “Alright fine! But only a few minutes.” Percy sighed and put Hazel's papers down walking away.
--------
Friday morning, a day were most would be happy and on their toes. Hazel wasn't. Far from it. She'd been stumbling across the halls of BAG hopelessly. She had artist statements and essays in her arms rushing go get them to their respective teachers.
It wasn't until Lacy had finally got Hazel's attention did she stop running. “Hazel is everything alright?” Lacy asked before she could look at Hazel.
“Gods, Hazel you look awful! Have you slept at all this week?”
Lacy asked clearly worried about her girlfriend. “Oh, yea..a few hours or so…” Hazel said as she made her way to the first class to drop off the work. “How long is a few hours?” Lacy asked following Hazel around the school. “Enough to get my work done.”
“Hazel, please, tell me.” Lacy pouted. It wasn't often that Hazel acted so cold towards Lacy, unless Lacy really ticked her off. Lacy quieted herself and continued to follow Hazel around school. Luckily they had the same classes so Lacy wouldn't be too far away from Hazel.
As the school day continued Lacy noticed how sleepy Hazel had been acting. She'd been doing off during classes. She some managed to fall asleep standing up. Lacy wanted to say something, but Hazel insisted she was fine.
Lacy bit her lip nervously. The school day was almost over, maybe she could convince Hazel to sleep in. Lacy cleared her throat catching Hazel's attention. “Um Hazel, did you- I mean could stay with you this weekend?” Lacy was clearly nervous. “Um, sure. Want to walk home with me?” Lacy nodded happily.
Lacy felt nervous, it wasn't that she had any bad intentions, she'd never been in Hazel's room. The thought of being alone in Hazel's room made Lacy feel weird inside. Like a happy weird.
“Lacy, are you ok? You look spaced out.”
Lacy shook her head focusing on the real world again. “Oh, yeah, I'm fine!” Lacy could tell she was blushing. She ate her food quietly not wanting to say anything stupid.
The rest of the school day went on fine.
The rest of the classes went by smoothly for both Hazel and Lacy. Nothing happened, no threat of having to rush back to either of camps or some monster attacking them. It was peaceful. Well as peaceful as a Friday even in school could get.
Walking home was sweet too.
“Hey, can I show you a new song?” Hazel asked suddenly. Despite how sleepy she was, Hazel was more than happy to be around Lacy. “Of course!” Hazel pulled out her phone and scrolled through her Spotify playlist. “There it is!” Hazel said as she pressed her thumb against her phone screen.
“I'm forming my own cloud here.”
Hazel sang along with the song. Lacy could only smile. Hazel's voice was sweet. Hazel kept singing until the song finished. Lacy was grinning from ear to ear. Lacy had it bad.
Lacy didn't realize that they finally reached Hazel's house. Despite how many people lived in the house, it was fairly clean. A few books there, a couple of blueprints rolled up in a pile. A couple of tools on the couch, but still clean.
“Come on, my room is this way!” Hazel grabbed Lacy's hand pulling her down the hallway and quickly entering a room.
If Lacy was going to be honest, she wasn't sure what she accepted Hazel's room to look like. When she did wonder she assumed it'd look like what she thought Nico's would. Dark, all the colors would've dark if they weren't black. Maybe a few records laid around.
It was far from it.
Hazel's room walls were painted white, it would've been boring if it weren't for the things that covered the walls. For starters, there were lyric notes painted across one wall while the one across from it was lined with pictures of all her art. Her bed was placed in the corner and had yet to be cleaned and had stuffed animals laid on the pillows. Next to it was a set of cubes that seemed to be connected. The roof had a few large lights on top, they seemed normal. The floor was clean minus the small pile of music and books in the corner near the window.
“Do you like it?” Hazel excitedly. Lacy nodded happily. “I love it! It's really pretty!” Lacy smiled as she walked over to the wall with all of Hazel's art work on it. “You made all of these?” Lacy was examined the wall in awe. The art was realistic and seemed to pop off the page. “Yea, Annabeth gave me the idea. She said I could see my improvement.”
Hazel blushed, she always got compliments for her art, but Lacy's made her feel..happier. Hazel feel soft inside. “Is this one me?” Lacy asked pointing at one turning to face Hazel. “U-um…yea, I painted when we first started dating..” Hazel blushed rubbing the back of her neck. “If you don't like it-”
“Hazel, I love it!”
“Really?” Hazel thought it would've been weird to draw Lacy, mostly cause she drew it from memory. “Of course, I wish I could paint like this.” Lacy pouted a little. “Hey you can dance!” Hazel said. “You're great at doing things, I wish I could do!”
Lacy blushed a bit. She was never good at taking complaints. “Uh..thank you..” Lacy quickly changed the subject.
“Can..can I stay for the night? I already have extra clothes.”
Hazel paused for a bit. “I'll go ask Percy!” Hazel ran out the room. Lacy looked around Hazel's room silently. She looked in the cubes Hazel had near her bed. She wasn't expecting to find much. She found a few art ideas and supplies. She found a few CDs with weird names for each one.
After looking for a bit more shed found a diary. She bit her lip. She shouldn't read it. It wouldn't hurt to just look at it. Lacy looked at the cover. It was painted. It had Hazel's name written in Latin she assumed.It was nice. She flipped over and looked at the back. It was just as pretty. It was covered in stickers on it
Lacy put the book down only to find a little remote. She clicked a button and suddenly the colors of the lights changed. Lacy giggled and kept changing the colors. Hazel came back into the room smiling happily.
“You can stay!”
“Good, now I can trick you into taking a nap!” Lacy said. Lacy stood up and pushed Hazel into the bathroom. “Now take a shower! You need to relax!” Lacy threw in some random clothes and waited patiently for Hazel to shower. Once Hazel finished Lacy wasted no time taking her shower not wanting to waste anytime.
Lacy came out the bathroom smiling. “Great, that's out the way.” Hazel looked up from her phone grinning. “Good, I wanted you to teach you how to paint.” Lacy smiled, she wonder how long Hazel had been practicing that. “I'd love to learn!”
Hazel rushed over to her closet. She pulled out a canvas, a few paint brushes, and a lot of paint. Lacy moved out the way to allow Hazel to place everything out. “Don't we need something to cover the floor?” Lacy asked sitting down next to Hazel. “We should be fine, this paint doesn't dry quickly.”
“How about we try painting a dove? So you can hang it up in your room!” Hazel said as she began to sketch the bird out on the canvas. Lacy was expecting it to take at least an hour. It only took Hazel around thirty minutes to finish sketching. “You draw fast..” Lacy looked at the bird. It looked very pretty and Lacy didn’t want to ruin it. “You sure it's ok for me to paint this, I don't wanna mess it up.”
Hazel nodded excitedly. “Yea, I want you to learn.” Hazel looked around. “I'll be back we need water!” Lacy nodded as Hazel quickly ran off. Lacy picked up one of the paint palettes. She opened it. The colors were mostly used and white plastic that held the paint was covered in light streaks of each color. She closed it and opened another one.
This one seemed new and didn't seem to be used, looked brand new even. Hazel came back with a cup of water. “We'll use this to clean the brushes!” Hazel said placing the cup on the floor before sitting down. “Ok, so, pick one of the palettes!”
Lacy looked at the one in her hand. The colors were dark. More earthy. “I wanna use this one…” Lacy trailed off looking at another pallette. The colors were mostly pink or some version of it. “...and this one!”
Hazel grinned. “OK,what if we paint the dove pink and make it look like it's flying over a forest?” Lacy nodded. “Yea, let's do that!” Hazel picked up a pencil and added to outline for the background. Once she finished going over the pencil in sharpie Hazel dipped the paintbrush in water. “What do you wanna paint first?”
Lacy took the brush from Hazel. “The dove, I can't possibly mess that up!” Lacy said as she ran the brush across the pink pigment in the pallette and began to paint.
Lacy had never painted a day in her life and had no idea what to do.
The sense of comfort that came over Hazel was intense. Hazel stood still holding the small nymph. The smell of fresh roses filled the girls nose. Regardless of how many flowers she'd smelt before, this scent felt special. Like she'd been smelling it for years. It wasn't until the nymph has squeezed her against did she realize they were still hugging. “Oh. Sorry.”
Hazel gently put the small girl down. Hazel looked over the nymph wide eyed. “L..Lacy?” Hazel looked at Lacy in the eye. The amount of emotions going through both of them was intense. “Y-yeah…it's me.” Hazel's shocked expression turned to one of dread. “You shouldn't be here.” Hazel said coldly. Lacy frowned. “I wanted to see you..” Lacy said softly. Despite how happy she was at first, Lacy already felt like a burden. “You shouldn't have come here. I'm not that important anymore.” Hazel said trying to keep her cool.
“Hazel, you're still my friend.” Lacy reached out to touch Hazel. Hazel quickly moved her hand away. “Lacy…believe me, I want to be your friend, but..” Hazel took a deep breath. “..things change Lacy and I don't think you'll like what I've become.” Lacy frowned. “Hazel, I've changed too. I know there's a small chance neither of us have really changed and a very high chance we have.” Lacy reached for Hazel's hand. This time she was able to hold it. Not like they did when they were little.
Lacy kept Hazel's had between both of hers. Hazel looked at their hands and slowly looked up to Lacy's eyes. Despite not seeing Lacy for years, she could tell not much had changed about her appearance. Lacy still had long blonde hair. That same happy glint in her eyes. The same everything, but she was older. “I don't want to lose this friendship. We had so much when we're 13, and I'm not going to let getting older ruin it.” Lacy looked into Hazel's eyes. It wasn't the same emotions.
Hazel's eyes were filled with confusion and fear, wile Lacy’s were filled with hope and wonder. Hazel opened her mouth to speak only to close it again. Part of Hazel wanted to get to know Lacy again. A large part of her in fact. Lacy was her friend. Her first crush and if she was going to be honest, her current crush. The other part of her wanted to force Lacy out. To scream about how much Lacy deserved better. Hazel swallowed a lump in her throat. “Fine, you can stay for a week. If things go wrong you can leave.”
Lacy smiled widely hugging Hazel tightly. “I promise we'll get back to where we were!” Lacy let go of Hazel stilling smiling. Hazel looked at Lacy and couldn't help but by smile a little. “Come on! We have a lot of catching up to do!” Lacy grabbed Hazel's hand dragging her out the room. “Where are you going?” Hazel asked puzzled. “You're going to give me a tour.”
“But Will said-” Lacy covered Hazel's mouth. “If I listened to Will, we wouldn't be able to have fun.” Lucy said. Hazel let out a sigh signaling her defeat. “Alright then, let's start the tour.”

Long ago, two heroes came about. Two amazing and powerful heroes. Together they protected their village and the people they cared about. The two heroes fell in love over time. Their bond was a magical and incredible one. A love that could only be described as godly.
Seven years after those first heroes died, another two in a far different place showed up. This pair went by the same names but in a different language. This two also fell in love. It was fate.
Over the centuries, the cycle happened many times. Sometimes the heroes became lovers, sometimes they were just close friends. Sometimes one died long before the other. Sometimes other heroes showed up as well. But there was always those two. With the same name no matter what language the names were in.
These heroes each had a magical jewel that transformed them into their masked identities. Each one of these jewels represented an animal. A Ladybug. A Cat. A Turtle. A Peacock. A Fox. A Butterfly. A Bumble Bee. And others. Many others. These were powerful and could be deadly. No one knows what would happen if a single person were to use all of them at once, no one knows what would happen if someone were to destroy one of them, no one knows much about them at all.

Four years later:
Drew Tanaka was known as Chat Noir, the cat themed hero. She had a partner named Ladybug. Together they protected New York from akumas and a villain named Hawkmoth. Drew had a necklace shaped like a cat head that was called a miraculous, the necklace transformed her into Chat Noir. Plagg, a kwami, was the one who transformed her. He liked cheese and shiny things, the latter of which Drew had a lot of and the little shit like to steal her very expensive jewelry. He enjoyed teasing her about her crushes on both Ladybug and her kind of friend, well frenemy Reyna. Yeah, Plagg was a little shit, maybe that was why Drew got the cat miraclus. Drew herself was known as a huge bitch, and was a self-proclaimed one at that. Her and Plagg got along in a weird way but also a ‘I will throw you in a trash can if you steal my earrings one more time, you little asshole.’ way.
Drew watched as Ladybug used the Miraculous Ladybug on the akuma. Every time she used it Drew couldn’t help but to stare. It was an incredible power. And unlike her Cataclysm, it fixed and healed things. It brought people back from the dead, it healed wounds, and it saved people. It was amazing.
When Ladybug was finished, Drew went to where the akumized person had fallen. They had called themselves Dead-Love. The red and pink themed villain was now a pigtailed blonde girl wearing a familiar pink floral dress. Drew gasped as soon as she got close enough to fully see who it is. It was her little sister, Lacy. The sweet little girl was sitting on the ground, crying.
“Hey, kid.” Drew called out. Lacy looked at her. She didn’t recognize her since Drew was wearing her Chat Noir transformation, face mostly cover, eyes appearing to be fully green and blonde hair- which Drew hadn’t had since she dyed it blonde four years ago. The only thing that could even give Lacy a clue of who she was, was her mouth. It was the only thing about herself that Drew could recognize when she saw pictures of her and Ladybug. Drew always looked more feminine as Chat Noir. More like she had been born with a vagina.
Lacy looked up at her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.” Lacy whimpered. She had tears running down her face. Drew hated to see her little sister cry, Lacy was the baby of the family after all.
“It’s okay. No one who has been akumized means to do anything wrong. It’s all Hawkmoth’s fault. Not yours… Lacy.” Drew said. Okay, maybe using Lacy’s name wasn’t a good idea but it might help Lacy calm down, hopefully it would make Drew seem less like a strange hero.
“You know my name?” Lacy said. She looked confused, well more confused.
“I know lots of people’s names, it just something a hero needs to do, learning as many names of the people in this city as possible. So do you mind telling me what happened?” Drew smiled at her.
“Uh, sorry. No offense but I don’t want to tell you.” Lacy frowned.
“No offense taken, have a good day kitten.” Drew said as she walked away from Lacy. She would have to retransform soon and she really didn’t want Lacy to find out she was Chat Noir. Goodness knows what would happen if anyone found out who she was, who her family was… the effects could be very bad. Hawkmoth could send an akuma after one of her siblings. Drew didn’t want anything bad to happen to any of them, even if one of them was annoying and Drew didn’t get along with her.
❤❤❤❤
Even if Drew wasn’t Chat Noir and hadn’t seen Lacy being an akuma, she could see that Lacy was upset when she got home. She had red eyes from crying and Drew could hear her sniffing the second she got into the penthouse.
“Lacy, what’s wrong?” Drew asked. Hopefully Lacy will tell Drew since she didn’t tell Chat Noir.
“I told Sadie I had a crush on her. She ran. Literally. She said ‘I uh I have to go.’ and then she ran.” Lacy said. Drew remembered how Lacy had made it so people were bitter and rude.
“Even if she doesn’t like you that way, it doesn’t matter. You’re great and awesome. Also how she rejected you was rude, you deserved a simple no at the least.” Drew smiled at Lacy. Lacy stared at her for a second. Drew wasn’t always the nicest of people especially not to her siblings.
“I guess you’re right.” Lacy said. Drew smiled.
❤❤❤❤
Drew rolled her eyes as Mr. Brunner went on and on about some dead Greek dude named Jason. She didn’t really care, it’s not like mythology was actually hard. Basically Zeus’s thunder dick ruined a bunch of stuff. And Hera got revenge on someone for just being born or sleeping with her cheating husband.
Her table mate, Reyna elbowed her. “Play attention, I don’t need you drooling on me again.” Reyna hissed.
Drew sighed and sat straight and proper then she made a face at Reyna. Drew expected the pencil being thrown at her. This happened pretty much every day. And later Drew was going to tease Reyna during lunch. Same old story. Same old Reyna.
Maybe that was why Drew liked Reyna so much. She was complex but they had a pattern together. Teasing, bricking, Drew flirting, Reyna telling Drew to behave. They were kind of friends, kind of enemies.
❤❤❤❤
“Hey Drew are you going to the soccer game tonight?” Piper, Drew’s sister, asked as she sat down.
“Yes, why?” Drew asked.
“Because Thalia has to work tonight and I need a ride home?” Piper smiled at her.
“Fuck you, but fine.” Drew hissed at her.
“See, you can be nice sometimes. Either that or you’re not really Drew. If you’re an imposter, please stay and don’t bring her back.” Piper said. Drew threw her napkin at Piper. She missed and Piper walked away smirking.
❤❤❤❤
Reyna didn’t play in the game that night and Drew didn’t get the chance to ask Piper where Reyna was. Well okay, she didn’t want Piper to know she wanted to know where Reyna was.
And Piper would know she had a crush on Reyna and honestly she could not put up with any of Piper’s plans to get someone a date. Piper really was bad at those, Drew shuddered remembering that Piper had told her best friend to ask out his crush by falling in front of him and saying ‘I guess I fell for you.’
❤❤❤❤
Drew was alone for patrol. Ladybug had said she’ll join up with her if there is any danger.
Drew climbed down to the balcony on Reyna’s apartment. She should be out here. Drew wanted to know if she was okay. And boy did Drew enjoy teasing Reyna while she was Chat Noir.
Reyna was sitting on a wicker chair, her leg had been injury, probably in soccer practice. “Is my lady hurt?” Drew asked.
“Hello Chat. Yes, but it should be fine in a few days. It’s only a grade one sprain so it’s no big deal.” Reyna said.
“Would a kiss make it feel better?” Drew walked along the balcony wall to where Reyna sat.
“No Chat.” Reyna said, blushing.
“Not even a peck on the forehead?” Drew winked. Reyna rolled her eyes and sighed. “Okay, one peck on the forehead and only the forehead.”
Drew leaned down and kissed Reyna’s forehead. “Now do you feel pawright?” Drew snickered.
“If you weren’t on that ledge I would hit you.” Reyna said.
“I can get off the ledge but only if you promise not to hit me.” Drew said.
“Fine. I won’t hit you.” Reyna said.
Drew stepped down onto the balcony. As soon as she did, Reyna kicked her with her good leg but it wasn’t a hard hit. It was playful. Drew hissed at her. “I said I wouldn’t hit you.” Reyna smiled.
“Anyone ever tell you that you’re quite feisty?” Drew poked Reyna’s nose.
“Only you seem to call me that.” Reyna rolled her eyes. Goodness she was adorable, oh wow their faces were close. What if Drew were to kiss her? They were so close. Just inches. Just a peck wouldn’t be bad?
So Drew leaned in and kissed Reyna. It was a small tiny peck; Drew could barely call it a kiss.
“No don’t.” Reyna grabbed Drew’s shirt and pulled her into a deep kiss.
Reyna broke the kiss, “I wanted to do that for a while now.” She sounded breathless.
“Oh good.” Drew smiled and then kissed Reyna’s neck. Oh she was totally going to give Reyna a hickey just so she could tease Reyna about it in school tomorrow. She loved seeing Reyna’s cute blush.
❤❤❤❤
Reyna rolled in her bed. Chat had made out with her last night and had laid down with her till she fell asleep. What did that mean? Did Chat actually care about her? Did Chat want to date her? Or did she normally make out with girls? Gods, why was this all confusing? She was Ladybug, a hero and she was the Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, soccer star and third in class ranking. She did not get confused especially not over a leather suit wearing cat girl.
She groaned and climbed out of bed. She better just get the day done with. Chat would probably come by again tonight since she still couldn’t be Ladybug. Maybe she should ask Chat about what last night meant. What that kiss had meant.
❤❤❤❤
Reyna sat down next to Jason on the bus. He’s eyes somehow went straight to her neck. That happened to have a huge ass hickory that cover up has made worse and it was too warm outside to wear something that covered her neck. Of course New York City decides to feel warm in March to do this to her.
“Who gave you that? Jesus Christ it’s huge.” He said.
“Chat Noir.” Reyna said. It’s not like she couldn’t tell people. She didn’t even know Chat Noir’s real identity.
“You made out with a superhero who wears leather? That’s kinky, Reyna.” Jason laughed.
“How come I’m the only one who has to suffer your bad jokes?” Reyna sighed.
“Because you’re practically my sister. But seriously, you got a love bite from Chat Noir?”
“Yeah. Then she laid down with me in my bed. Nothing happened but I think she actually likes me?” Reyna said. She smiled to herself, remembering the warmth of Chat Noir’s body. Before Reyna had never really realized how tall Chat Noir was and how soft her hair was. Kind of reminded Reyna of someone… but she couldn’t quite put her finger on who.
❤❤❤❤
Reyna smiled at Drew, her table mate. The two of them had a strange relationship but Reyna guessed they were friends- in a strange, ‘I would probably shoot you in the leg for twenty dollars,’ way. Frenemies was the word to describe it but Reyna noticed how Drew became more kind and open the more time they spent together. Reyna was the same way. If you got to know each of them, you would realize that they weren’t their cold and closed off shells. Reyna doesn’t know why Drew is that way and Drew doesn’t know why Reyna is that way. It was just how the world should be.
“You look like you made out with a black hole.” Drew sneered at her neck, as if she could judge; last year Drew got caught making out with some girl in an empty classroom.
“A black cat actually.” Reyna smirked.
Drew’s eyes widen. “A superhero? Wow, never thought you would be a Lois Lane.”
“Was that supposed to be an insult?” Reyna rolled her eyes.
“You decide.”
Reyna glared at her. Frenemies was a good word for their relationship. Actually, it was the perfect word for their relationship. Thinking of relationships… Reyna still wanted to know if Chat liked her like actually like her. Ugh she sounds like a twelve-year-old. Thank gods she wasn’t actually talking to someone.
❤❤❤❤
Reyna once again sat on her balcony, waiting for Chat. Would she even show?
“My queenie, are you waiting for someone?” Chat’s voice came from behind her.
“I guess, I’m waiting for you. What did that kiss mean to you?” Reyna asked, she was always straight to the point.
“It meant… everything. And so much more.” Chat said. Reyna felt Chat’s arms wrap around her waist.
“I… I want to.. I want to kiss you again.” Reyna whispered.
“What’s stopping you?”
“I don’t really know who you are.”
“You should pay more attention than. Honestly, it’s strange how you haven’t figured it out yet, when it is time I will tell you who I am. But I swear I have no girlfriend or boyfriend or datemate or lover. I am not an adult, I actually go to the same school as you do but don’t tell anyone that. I have some family matters to handle tonight do how about a quick peck before I go if that pleases you?” Chat asked.
“Sure, be careful kitty.” Reyna turned around in Chat’s arms and kissed her. Reyna loved kissing Chat.
❤❤❤❤
Drew hummed to herself as she made her way home. Maybe she should tell Reyna who she is. Maybe. Just maybe. Would Reyna hate her? Would Reyna feel grossed out? Would Reyna be okay with Drew being trans? Sure, Reyna was good with it while they were just friends but dating? Who knew how Reyna felt about dating a trans person! Why did she even kiss Reyna that night? Drew hit herself in the face.
God, she was so stupid. She had Reyna in love with her, but not really her. What did she do to deserve this? Okay, maybe she did deserve a complicated love life. She wasn’t the nicest of people when she wasn’t being Chat Noir and even then she was kind of a bitch. Ugh. Why was life so ugh?
Her phone buzzed. Lacy had texted her. ‘Sadie ran because she didn’t know what to say. She kissed me as soon as she saw me today and did a big apology.’
Lacy and Sadie, how cute. Looks like Lacy can handle her own love life better than Drew could handle hers. Drew’s mind went back to Reyna… maybe she should just tell her.
❤❤❤❤
“Reyna. Please pick up your stupid phone. I need to talk to you about something. Please.” Drew sent a voice mail to Reyna. She had already sent four. She was going to tell Reyna that she was Chat Noir. She would show Reyna that she was Chat. Hopefully Reyna won’t be mad at her for kissing her. For lying.
“What do you need to talk to Reyna Ramírez-Arellano about?” Drew’s sister Silena asked. She and Drew shared a room and Drew had thought she had her headphones in.
“Don’t worry about.” Drew snapped at her.
“Oh…. I see. That’s cute.” Silena giggled.
“Shut up.”
“I think our family has a type, soccer players.”
“Oh my god. Shut up.”
“For real. I’m dating Clarisse. Piper is with Thalia. Valentina is with Laurel. Michael is with Connor. Mitchell is with Malcolm-
“Malcolm is only the manger for the boys team.”
“Still counts. The only outlier is Lacy unless Sadie ever played soccer.” Silena shrugged.
“Lacy plays soccer I think that could count.”
“So you’re on board with my theory. That means you do have a crush on Reyna and are admitting to it!” Silena laughed.
“Shut up or I will lock you out of our room tomorrow.”
“So cruel.”
“Thanks.”
“Okay I’ll shut up but first, you have to tell me more about Reyna.”
“What?!”
“Tell me about her.”
“No.”
“Please.”
“No.”
“Please.”
“No.”
“Please.”
“No.”
“Please.”
“Ugh fine.”
“Go on…”
“She’s in a few of my classes. We work together. She’s cold but in a nice way. We tease each other all the time. She has dimples and perfect teeth. She really love sweets, especially hot chocolate- and I’m gonna shut up now because you’re smirking.” Drew said.
“I am not.”
“Are to.”
“Shouldn’t you be sleeping?”
“Shouldn’t you?”
“Do you think other sisters act like this?”
“I don’t know. Probably.”
“We both should really go to sleep. I have a job interview in the morning.”
“You know, college girl, you should move out so I won’t keep you up all night and I can have my own room.”
“Mom would just have Lacy move into here and make Lacy’s room into a guest room. Or maybe she’ll put Pipes in here and have Lacy and Val share a room.”
“Oh fuck, don’t move out. I would never want to share a room with Piper. Oh well goodnight.”
“Goodnight, and Piper isn’t that bad.”
❤❤❤❤
Five days later:
Reyna had returned as Ladybug and while under the mask she acted as if Chat never kissed her. Held her. Reyna avoided sitting out on her balcony at night. As much as she wanted to, she was still unsure of her feelings for Chat. Mostly because she didn’t know who she was. And because she didn’t know if she should or shouldn’t tell Chat that she was Ladybug.
Reyna tossed herself on her bed. Feelings sucked. Like a lot.
She never thought she would get this riled up because of some cute girl. Especial not some cute girl who wear a leather catsuit.
Yeah, feelings sucked.
❤❤❤❤
Drew woke up in the middle of the night. Another nightmare. One cost of being a hero is the nightmares of akumas.
She grabbed her jacket and snuck out of her apartment. A walk would help her relax.
The night was cool and clear, the stars bright and shiney. Drew loved nighttime in Brooklyn. There was plenty of people out but none of them paid her any attention. If anyone gave her any trouble she had the skills to kick some ass.
Drew wondered what Ladybug was doing right now. Was she sleeping or did she also have a nightmare? It would be great if Drew could call her. Or hell just drop on by to talk about things. Did Ladybug even have nightmares? If so, were they as bad as Drew’s?
❤❤❤❤
Three Days later:
Drew knocked on Reyna’s door. Hylla opened it.
“Hello? If you got girl scout cookies give me a sec to grab some money- oh you’re not a girl scout.” Hylla said.
“Yeah no. Is Reyna home?” Drew asked.
“No, she took the dogs out for a walk a while ago. Do you want to come in and wait for her?” Hylla moved aside.
“Okay. Thanks.”
“Can I get you something to drink? We’ve got juice and sodas. And… wine! I mean uh some tea.” Hylla said as she went through her fridge.
“A soda would be nice, thank you.” Drew seated herself on a chair.
It took ten minutes for Reyna to return and she was very surprised to see Drew.
“Tanaka? What are you doing here?” She asked.
“I need to talk to you. About something important.” Drew said.
“…Let’s go to my room.” Reyna sighed.
Reyna led Drew there, and once inside of her room Drew could see the door that lead to the balcony.
“Okay, why are you here?”
“Well…hmm how do I put this, well oh I know! Plagg, claws out!” Drew smiled as she said it.
She quickly transformed into Chat Noir. Reyna looked at her in shock. “This is it.” Drew said.
“You’re Chat Noir. You kissed me.” Reyna said.
“Yeah… sorry about that. Listen it’s cool if you never want to see or talk to me ever again but I would really like it if you didn’t tell anyone who I am. This isn’t Seattle. Superheroes, I think, can get arrested if the cops found out who they really are.” Drew scratched her head and smiled weakly.
Reyna laughed. Like really loudly and out of control.
“Oh crap, I think I broke you.” Drew said, poking Reyna’s forehead. Reyna whispered something Drew couldn’t make out and in a blink of an eye, Ladybug was laughing in front of her. Now Drew was laughing.
“To believe we’ve been fighting by each others side for about a year. And had so many classes together and to think we never realized. Even when the school got attacked.” Reyna said.
“Well this is a strange situation.” Drew said.
“Yeah, it’s complicated. I think you should leave. I need to think.” Reyna said.
“Oh okay. I’ll just go back to normal and then I’ll be off.” Drew said. Did Reyna hate her now? What did Reyna need to think about? Drew was regretting kissing Reyna the other night. Why did she ever think that would be a good idea?
❤❤❤❤
“Tikki, I just don’t know how to feel.” Reyna claimed.
The little kwami rolled her eyes. “Oh Reyna. You like Drew as both Drew and Chat Noir, I don’t really see the problem.”
“The problem is them being the same person. I’m just trying to wrap my head around it.”
“Well hey, follow your heart.” Tikki smiled.
❤❤❤❤
Drew sat in her seat as normal. Just like she did every single school day. Reyna should be here by now.
Drew took out her phone and wondered if she should text Reyna. But before she could even pull up her contact list, Reyna sat down beside her.
“Hey.” Drew said.
“Hi.” Reyna smiled.
“Are we…? What are we?” Drew asked. God. She sounded stupid. But that was how Reyna made Drew act. Like how Drew should make people feel. Okay, not should. It was how Drew knew she made some poeple. All fluttery and nervous and unsure of what to do or what to say.
“We are seatmates, classmates, a hero duo, and maybe girlfriends.” Reyna said.
“Maybe?” Drew asked.
“You need to ask me out.” Reyna smirked. She had a playful twinkle in her eye that Drew loved.
“Ah. Of course,” Drew put a finger to Reyna’s lips, “but you’ll have to wait.”
❤❤❤❤
Later that day, an akuma attacked the school. Reyna ran and hid in a bathroom stall to transform.
When Reyna got to them, Drew was already working on fighting them.
From what Reyna could see they were white. With short blonde hair. No. it couldn’t be. As she got closer she saw the akumized person’s face. It was Jason.
A bolt of lightning missed hitting Reyna by an inch.
Reyna grabbed her yo-yo out. “Chat! Are you alright?” Reyna yelled.
“Of course, bugaboo.” Drew yelled as she dodged a bolt of lightning for herself.
Reyna watched careful as Jason shot out another bolt. She looked for anything that could be the akuma. Around his wrist was the bracelet his sister had given him when she had ran away a few years ago. She had came back barely a year ago. “It’s the bracelet. Break the bracelet.” Reyna yelled. They could fix the bracelet. They could fix it afterwards. But Reyna knew that had to be the akumaized object.
Another bolt of lightning hit the school’s sports field.
Drew charged at Jason as soon as he started aiming at Reyna. “Give me your miraculouses. Or I will shock this place up.” Jason said.
He didn’t throw the bolt at Reyna. He threw it at Drew.
❤❤❤❤
Drew woke up on the ground. She didn’t remember passing out. Reyna, in her Ladybug disguise, was crying over her.
“Re- Ladybug?” Drew said. She felt dizzy.
“You died. I got the akuma. Everything is fine now.” Reyna said.
“Shit. I died. Well thanks. Now we should go before our time runs out.” Drew said as Reyna helped her to her feet.
“Yeah. Let’s.” Reyna smiled.
❤❤❤❤
Four weeks later:
Drew watched as Reyna scored the winning goal for the soccer team. People cheered around her as she got up and made her way to the field. Two weeks ago she had died and had brought back thanks to Reyna, also for two weeks Reyna’s been waiting for Drew to ask her out.
Drew was going to do better than asking her out. She weaved her way through girls in sweaty uniforms to get to the center. Reyna blinked when she saw Drew.
“Drew?” Reyna asked.
Drew grabbed Reyna by the shirt and kissed her. Reyna kissed back and Drew smiled as she heard Lacy yell, “Get a room!”
❤❤❤❤
Three months later:
“You ready for this?” Drew asked Reyna.
“Yeah, I mean I did kiss you after that battle last week when I knew Nico was watching and would put it on the LadyBlog.” Reyna said.
“Yeah but Nico might recognise you, one of his closest friends.” Drew said.
“That won’t happen.” Reyna forced a smile.
“Ladybug! Chat Noir!” A voice called from behind them. Drew turned around to see Nico di Angelo. Huge goth. One of Reyna’s best friends. Huge nerd. Huge Ladybug and Chat Noir fan.
They were meeting with him after he managed to ask them after a battle the day before for an interview about the kiss between them he caught on camera.
“Hello.” Reyna said.
“May I start off by saying I’m so happy for the chance to be able to interview the both of you.” Nico said. Drew never had met this side of Nico.
“Thanks.” Drew said.
“So for how long have you two been together?”
“A few months.” The hero pair replied together.
“Do you know each other’s real identities?” Nico gave them a wicked smile.
“Oh …uh.” Reyna looked at Drew.
“No, we don’t.” Drew frowned.
“Is it hard fighting crime with your significant other?”
“Nope. It’s easier.” Reyna said.
“We have some fun after we win so nope.” Drew winked.
“Anything else you two want to add? The ChatBug shippers are very happy since I posted that photo and I’m sure they will read over every word of this many times.” Nico smiled.
“Follow you heart and be brave. Also date someone who makes you happy and make sure you make them happy.” Drew said.
“Chat Noir likes to snuggle.” Reyna smiled.
“Thank you.” Nico said.
❤❤❤❤
Drew rolled her eyes as she read through Nico’s blog post. He said she had a jealous and protective vibe about her. And that she was sappy. He also said it seemed that they were lying about not knowing who each other really is.
“Are you reading the LadyBlog? I never pegged you as a fan of Ladybug or Chat Noir.” Piper leaned over her shoulder and looked at her phone.
“I’m not. I like relationship news.”
“Bet they have kinky sex, I mean just look at their outfits.” Piper snorted. Drew snorted. If only Piper knew that Reyna was a fan of being bit and Drew loved being tied up. But Piper will never know about Drew’s sex life or that she is Chat Noir.
“Nah, they probably have the most boring sex ever. They seem too safe and they probably use a lot of energy to have anything but boring sex.” Mitchell piped in.
“Sleepy sex is not boring.” Valentina said.
“They probably have rough sex.” Silena said.
“Chat Noir is probably the kinker of the two.” Michael said.
“I don’t really think that matters. Ladybug likes girls and Chat Noir likes girls as well. They are two heroes who are in the LGBTQ+ community which is just awesome on its own and we really shouldn’t be just talking about who’s kinkier of the two. But I am on board with Michael. Chat Noir is obviously more kinky.” Lacy said.
Drew was trying to hold in her laughter. Her siblings were talking about her sex life without even knowing it. So of course as soon as Lacy said that she busted out laughing.
Her siblings looked at her. “What? It’s ridiculous how we’re talking about kinks as if it were the daily weather.” Drew said.
❤❤❤❤
“How did you just stand there? I would have died.” Reyna asked Drew.
“My family is very open and we’re all teenagers. It could have been worse, like when Valentina, Piper, and Mitchell told Lacy about a strap-on. Honestly that was hilarious.” Drew said.
“I have a question, who was the first person you told that you were a girl?” Reyna asked.
“You. Well Ladybug, but still you.” Drew said.
“Oh. Well thanks for that. But you only told me because you didn’t know it was me nor I knew it was you, didn’t you?” Reyna said.
“Yeah, it felt like I wasn’t really coming out. Luckily no one really cared about Ladybug and Chat Noir back then. People don’t like the idea of two female heroes dating but if they found out I’m trans… well it won’t be good.” Drew frowned.
Reyna wrapped her arms around Drew. “Don’t worry about it. I love you just the way you are.”
“You know those words don’t really help.”
“Okay then. Tell me what you need.”
Drew paused. She didn’t really know what she needed.
“I don’t know. Just be here to cuddle and cry on when I’m having a bad gender day.” Drew said.
“Always.”
“Maybe always will be our okay.” Drew snorted.
“That was a horrible joke.” Reyna groaned.
“You still love me?” Drew asked.
“Of course I still love you.”
“I love you too.”
Drew turned in Reyna’s arms and kissed her. Drew loved Reyna and she loved kissing Reyna, whose lips always tasted like chocolate and sometimes also like marshmallows.
Drew loved her so much. And even if most of their dates got interrupted by akumas attacking the city, Drew enjoyed the time they spent together.
They were partners. They were lovers.
They went together no matter what.
