I got struck with an idea and I had to draw it. Nathaniel is the holder of a frog Miraculous, more design and info about him and his powers can be found in this post: http://saijspellhart.tumblr.com/post/171440221031/frog-miraculous-nathaniel-kurtzberg-hero-name
The joke is from the first Power Rangers movie: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Aql_fYL7Wwc

And here is a drabble written by @aknazer! (Fairia). Read under the cut!
“What’s wrong, Nath?” Ladybug asked sweetly, lingering on the rooftop when the others disappeared. Carapace paused, looked back, and seemed to assess the situation. Offering a silent salute, he dropped his shell and drifted away.
“I don’t think the others like me.” Nathaniel muttered, trying not to sound disappointed. He really didn’t have any place to complain.
“They like you fine.” Ladybug assured him.
“Rena and Chat made fun of me.” Nathaniel replied. “Like, complete with sound effects and jokes about frog legs.”
“That was them saying they liked you.” Ladybug rolled her eyes. “They’re just goofs. Next time, stick them with a dart - they’ll shut up.”
“Queen Bee…” Nathaniel shuddered.
“She’ll warm up.” Ladybug replied. “It took her three months to warm up to Chat and Rena. She doesn’t really like anyone, she tolerates us.”
“And I’m a frog.” Nathaniel whined despondently. “You guys all get cool animals, like foxes and cats and turtles. I’m not even green!”
“You’re a poison dart frog.” Ladybug pointed out. “I don’t think it really gets much cooler than that.”
“That’s still not going to stop the croaking noises.” Nathaniel hated himself for whining about being a superhero, but Rena’s sly remarks and Chat’s teasing humor had hit a little too close to home. “I’m still a frog.”
“Yes, a frog. Like the ones you kiss to get a handsome prince.” Ladybug smiled at him as he raised his eyebrow at her skeptically, and leaning forward, pressed her lips to his forehead.
Nathaniel’s jaw went slack even as his face went up in flames. He was probably as red as his suit…
“Goodnight, Nath. Don’t worry about the others too much - they’ll come around.” Ladybug hooked her yo-yo off in the distance and smiled at him over her shoulder. “And seriously, next time stick them with a dart. It’ll be hilarious.”
Offering him a wink, she slung off into the night.
