Spots Off 🐞 (A Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction)

[ Book 1 ] "I was fine without you when you weren't planning on coming back! I had to move on or it would have killed me! And here you are now." "Kitty, I'm so sorry." Ladybug steps forward and places a hand on my shoulder. Either a tear or raindrop runs down her cheek. I can't tell. "I promise, I never meant to do this to you. I thought I was careful. But you have to remember this isn't permanent-" "No, don't do that to me." Tears fall as I shake my head at her. "You can't leave and come back and leave again and promise to come back. My heart's had enough." Ladybug looks hurt. "So, what, do you hate me now or something?" "I could never hate you, Ladybug! I love you! I have always loved you! Do you know long I spent waiting for you to come back? Long enough that I put my feelings for someone else on hold. I'm with someone now and I can't turn my back on her. I can't just go back and pretend like nothing changed." "I'm glad you've found someone to make you happy, Cat Noir." Ladybug smiles and it fades away as her earrings beep. Only a few minutes left. "I wish I didn't have to go." "Well, maybe you should." - - - Ladybug and Adrien have been dating in secret for three months now, but what will happen when they're caught together by obsessive fans and their relationship is exposed city-wide, which leads to Hawkmoth discovering the bug's secret identity?
