Side Effects
Ladybug knew one major thing about her partner: He loved to cuddle.
She found that out the evening a few members of the press began verbally attacking Chat. She had been furious but calmed down when she held him.
It was also the day she learned about the effects of the Miraculous items and of being tied to their Kwami.
Chat had started purring under her attention. Later she had spoken to Tikki when she got home. The longer they carried the Miraculous items—her earrings and his ring—the more they gained the attributes of their assigned Kwami.
Chat would be more feline like—purring, cuddling, better senses like sight, scent, and hearing.
She on the other hand would be more ladybug like—producing pheromones on her emotions, a desire for sweet foods and drinks, extreme sensitivity to cold, and later as her powers as Ladybug developed, she’d have weapons that would reflect the toxicity found in Ladybugs, the weapons would reflect her personality.
Some things would carry over to their civilian self.
This made her realize something, if he had the senses carry over to his civilian self, he’d find her whether he was trying or not.
Ladybug sighed gently. She needed to tell him, he deserved to know from her telling him, not from an accident.
“Hey there, Bug.” Chat grinned, coming across the red clad female as she sat on a lone rooftop, looking up at the star filled sky.
Most of the bright stars were hidden by lights of Paris, but she was still looking.
“What’s on your mind, M’lady?” He moved to take a seat next to her, his hand brushing her back.
“A lot of things, but mainly about us and being heroes.” She said softly, moving to lean into him a bit. “The side effects of our miraculous.” Her fingers brushed her earring, the red and black jewelry.
“What about it? So, I do things like purr when I’m Chat, so what?” Chat shrugged, looking to her not truly understanding.
“No… that’s the thing. Tikki, my Kwami, said that some of these things will carry over to our civilian selves… Thinking about it, I am already getting affected by the cold.”
Chat paled a bit, “That… would be hard to explain if I started purring in front of my friends or family.”
“Exactly… I mean, I like it when you purr, but…”
“You do?” His face lit up and he leaned closer.
“But, it isn’t exactly ‘normal’ for a boy to do. Nor is it normal for me to be letting off pheromones.” She sighed, moving to brush her fingers through his hair. The male couldn’t help the soft purr erupting from his chest.
Ladybug had a soft smile, letting him snuggle into her, receiving his pets.
Maybe it was something they’d worry about later. She couldn’t really think of this as bad when he was leaning into her purring like a content kitten.
With her recent confession and realization, she needed to tell Chat soon… that she wanted to tell him soon—she’d definitely enjoy the fact that she could make him purr as a civilian if it carried over. It would be too adorable for her not to take advantage of, despite his embarrassment.
“That should be in three… two… one…” She counted down in her head.
“S-sorry!” Chat pulled away, making her smile. “S-sometimes I lose myself in that…” He couldn’t even meet her gaze.
She just smiled and pulled him back to her, her fingers moving back through his hair. Chat sputtered out in surprise before purring, his face a deep shade of red at her assertiveness.
Maybe she wouldn’t mind the side effect that affected her too much if she could get him to go that red from his side effects.
