FRANCE, PARIS 2023.
━ chap 12. snow love tonight !

Understanding what he signaled by that, she grabbed the moth Miraculous pin in between her hands and leapt over to where he was, as she walked the rest of the way. She dropped the pin in his palm gently, and gave him a nod that he sent back with a warm smile.

Ladybug picked up her yo-yo from around waist, swinging it around behind her in a fast circle as she aims it up towards a building that was in the middle of everyone, and lets herself be tugged towards it through the fresh breeze.

She landed against the roof's ledge of a building with a thump, just as a pigeon also landed beside her on one of the chimney. She walked over the little bump down towards the edge of the roof, as she glanced over the civilians below on the broken, and rubble filled road.

A few familiar faces in the crowd appeared in her vision, which were her best friends from school, and felt an intense amount of relief seeing Marinette also there safe, as she stood beside Alya and Nino.

Ladybug took a deep breath to level herself before taking a confident stance on the ledge, fists clenched up by her sides as she opened her mouth to addresses them all, "Paris! You don't have to be afraid anymore! Peace has been restored!" Her voice carried through the area, strong and powerful to be heard.

Everyone below on the ground looked up hearing the voice of their hero, as a child who Ladybug saved from the butterflies clasped her hands together in joy, and smiled brightly seeing Ladybug up on the roof.

"If darkness ever falls on us again, the power of Ladybug and Cat Noir will always protect you!" She finished off her determined declare to the civilians, hair blowing in the breeze a little bit, as her lips twitch up into a warm grin.

The civilians all remained quiet with in awe looks on their faces, not knowing how to react to that as the same little girl goes to break the silence with a happy cheer, arms raised up into the air, "Ladybug! Cat Noir!"

The crowd chuckled at her cute response before their arms went up also, and began to chant what she first yelled, "Ladybug! Cat Noir! Ladybug! Cat Noir!" This continued until it got louder, and louder with everyone joining in on cheering for their saviours of Paris.

She felt tears sting her eyes at their support from all around, as she placed her hands up to her chest for a brief second to take it all in, and wished her partner was here to celebrate their win also. But he was needed with his father, and she knew that was the right thing for him right now.

Ladybug then bent down a little bit with her legs touch grazing the cement, placing one of her suited palms against the roof as a sparking aura of pink began to form around that hand. It traveled from within the ground up through her fingers to her hand, and she then stood up with that power close to her heart as the chants got louder once more.

She raised both arms up towards the sky as a massive amount of the sparkling red dust burst out from the ground, followed by a few glittering white lines that all mixed together in a beatuil creation. The power lit up her grinning features, watching what she had created in amazement.

The power was traveling all around the streets of Paris, as it circles out to spin around the civilians getting to first hand witness the scene, and some of them dance in between it with their hands grazing the warmth coming from it.

All the damaged buildings began to now be replaced back to how it was before, her power of creation completely fixing the pieces back like nothing happened. The red mist was also swirling around her body, as she goes to control it through a wide smile, and directs the power towards the broken bridge with her arms.

The bridge slowly formed back up from out of the water when the power had washed over it, and built back up into what once was before the chaos, as the blue lakes water spills off of it.

Ladybug directs the red mist towards another direction with a grunt, as little versions of it goes to make some plants that belonged to an older lady to grow back again, that made her joyfully exclaim watching her plants grown back.

The last amount of her power paused for a moment, her hands being placed up against her chest where her heart was and sighed softly to herself. With once last move from her, she spreads one of her arms out to the side, as more swirls of the red mist fades out into the Paris skies to fix what was once lost.

More buildings began to rebuild back up from it being all over Paris now, as the red glowing mist was lingering in the air descending upwards from the ground in a beautiful display of the power of creation.

......

Later that same day when the sun was dipping below the horizon over the saved, and fixed back up Paris, (Y/N) was outside her families shop back in her normal clothes, and stopped being Ladybug for the day after saving the city.

She spotted inside that her parents were hugging a badly worried Marinette, them all huddled together in the middle of the shop together, wondering where their missing family member was.

Her face softened with guilt realising how much stress she probably put her family through, and nodded to herself as she took a brave step forward, and pushed the front door open of the bakery.

At the sudden noise of the doorbell ringing, and the sound of soft footsteps has Marinette looking up from her parents shoulders, and gasped tearily seeing (Y/N) standing there with a shy smile over her lips.

The two sisters didn't waste a second more as they full on ran at each other quickly, and collied in the middle with their arms wrapped around each other tightly. Marinette was crying softly to her sister, which made her rock them from side to side, trying her best to stifle her own emotions.

Their parents eyes went wide also seeing their missing daughter finally home, as the mothers tears break free also taking her daughters both into a warm embrace. Tom smiles fondly at the site with tears lining his eyes, and wraps his arms around them all with a loving squeeze.

......

MONTHS LATER , night of the ball

The snowfall in Paris draped the city in a serene hush, muffling the usual sounds of bustling streets. As the night deepened, the soft glow of streetlights transformed the snowy landscape into a scene reminiscent of a monochrome painting. 

The air was crop and chilly, yet there was an unimaginable magic in the way of the city seemed to slow down, embracing the stillness of the night and the beauty of the snowfall.

A lot of street lamps were switched on to illuminate a soft glow around the main hall of the ball building, as many people all dressed up were filling up inside of it, or were waiting outside of the building.

Pulling up along the side of the pathway leading up to the stairs, was the familiar Dupain-cheng family car that was a bit different for the ball as it had a fancier design on the side of it.

Tom parked the car when he came to a stop near the stairs, wide smiles on both the parents faces looking at their daughters talking to each other in the back seat, both dressed up for the event about to happen.

A few of the girls who were standing outside still turned their heads seeing he van there now, and one of them with black haired brightened up watching as the door was slide open to reveal what the sisters were wearing.

(Y/N) was the first to shuffle out of the car nervously, as she could already feel the unwanted attention on her from everyone around. She felt a warm hand on her back, making her head turn to see her father smiling at her reassuringly, hand held out to help her up.

Shakily returning the smile a little she slipped her hand into Tom's, getting gently helped out from the car as she smiled at her mother next, who watched her with teary, happy eyes beside Marinette, who had a similar expression.

What the teen girl was wearing over her body was, a flowing red gown with a bottom layer of satin, and two over-layers of glittered tulle. It had iridescent capelets inspired by the delicate wings of a ladybug, as her hair was down to lay against her bare shoulders gently. She also had a pearl necklace around her neck, followed by her familiar earrings in her ears that she never took off now.

Marinette smiled to herself hearing the gasps of awe at what her younger sister was wearing, and felt proud of how far she's come from the beginning of school. She moved in front of (Y/N) with a playful look, and bowed a bit as she reached out for her hand to take, as she was wearing a similar design dress but in a butterfly form.

(Y/N) stifled an amused chuckled at her sisters display, and placed her hand into Marinette's, as she lets herself get gently pulled up the stair away from their parents. As they walked up the path leading inside, all the girls murmured about what they were wearing, some in impressed and jealous, while others were disgusted, but they didn't pay mind to that.

Sabine and Tom sigh fondly watching their precious children walk off towards the ball, both holding onto each other standing in front of their van together, and hoped they would have the time of their lives tonight.

Inside of the ball it was just as busy filled of people all dressed up from school, as the sisters heard Nino and Alya chuckling with Sabrina just near the inside stairs. Though the group turn their heads spotting the siblings, as their mouths drop seeing their dresses, and Alya waves excitedly to gain their attention.

"Whoa!" They all gasped in awe once the two really came into view, which caused (Y/N) to chuckle nervously and glance down, while Marinette looked smug as ever knowing her sisters designed their dresses for tonight.

"Look at those dresses!" Alya exclaimed in amazement as she met them in the middle, and playful span the youngest around in a twirl to show off her dress more, that caused a small giggle to leave her lips once she stopped.

Marinette bumped her hip into her sisters knowingly once the action was finished, and gave her a look which made (Y/N)'s eyes go wide in realisation remembering who still wasn't here, "Have you seen Adrien?" She stumbled out quickly to the other two in front.

"I saw him outside." Nino answered her from beside Alya smiling brightly, and motioned to where the outside door was leading to the snowy lands, "He said he would join us."

She furrowed her brows a bit worriedly but understood perfectly fine, as she nodded her head with a small smile of her own, and gripped the side of her arm as her eyes spot Chloe now coming over to them. Marinette saw that also which made her go to step in front protectively, but (Y/N) gently stopped her which took the older one by surprise.

"(Y/N), I hope you have a lovely evening," Chloe's voice was filled with venom and sarcasm as she ended up in front of the said girl, smirking smugly with her yellow mask covering her eyes, "because next year, bullying's back on."

Her (E/C) eyes not wearing a mask narrowed down on Chloe's face that got closer to hers, and matched her attitude right back, lips twitching up confidently, "You can count on me."

Chloe hummed a little bit interested at her comeback for a change, and turned her head towards her only friend lingering behind her, "Sabrina, we're out of here." She declares with one last look on (Y/N), before walking towards the stairs with the said girl following behind.

Sabrina looked back at (Y/N)'s figure standing next to Marinette's with a small shoulder shrug, and waved goodbye to them before rushing after Chloe, who was almost at the top of the stairs.

Once the two were out of sight from them, the (H/C) haired girl moved her attention back on the other three, and gave them a nervous smile, "I'm gonna go find Adrien, I'll catch you guys later." She looks to Marinette for her support, and saw her reassuring smile followed by a head nod as she went up to Alya.

And with that encouragement from her older sister, she was off quite quickly towards where the male she loved would hopefully be, and was going to reveal who she really was to him.

......

Outside under one of the street lights that lit the area in a soft yellow glow, and under the soft snow falling from the dark skies of Paris, Adrien was leaning against a brick stone in between some trees all alone thinking about everything that's happened to him this year.

"I miss you so much, Ladybug." He softly whispers into the night breeze, as his loving gaze was focused on his black Miraculous ring around his finger, and brushed his thumb over it, "The world is at peace, but my heart is still in turmoil."

A few seconds of comfortable silence went by except for the occasionally quiet chatter from the distance, until a familiar voice to him calls out from behind him, "Cat Noir?"

His green masked eyes go wide with a soft gasp leaving him hearing that voice, as he slowly but surely turns around to face where she was standing, and felt his heart jump out of his chest seeing (Y/N) there in her dress in the darkness.

She fiddled with her fingers a little bit seeing his curious but soft gaze on her, and she now went to walk over to him under her street lamp, getting even more nervous with each step she took. Once she arrived in front of him, she thought he looked so handsome in his black suit, mask, and bowtie.

He thought that same about her in that dress she was wearing, as he gazed down at her with wonder which did overpower his confusion at her knowing his secret, "(Y/N)?" He goes to breath out her name softly, not making any movements right now to get closer no matter how much he wanted to.

Her lips fell in a straight line not really knowing how to tell him exactly, as she tucks a lock behind her hair anxiously, and glanced back up at him to meet his soft eyes. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she tentatively reaches her hands up to take off his black mask around his eyes.

Now holding his mask in both hands she smiled a little shyly up at him with her doe eyes, "Or you can call me...." She began strongly, taking a deep breath as she slowly placed the mask over her face now, "Ladybug."

His eyes went wide like saucers at her sudden confession, a strangled gasp leaving his parted mouth as his face softens into one of many emotions, the most being joy, and love. It all made sense now, the girls he is in love with was the person in front of him the entire time, and at that fact his heart never felt so much happiness.

She also felt her stomach burst with butterflies seeing how he reacted to her being Ladybug, and chuckled a bit tearily as she pulled off the mask to place it against the ground beside them, feeling on top of the world right now.

The happy tears that were lining his green eyes spilled from them the more he stared at the love of his life, as a few ran down his cheeks to mingle with his wide, adoration filled grin displayed for her.

Seeing the tears down his face, she reached up her hand to gently cup the side of his cheek, as she brushed some of them away with her thumb, and he nuzzled his mouth into her palm with a breathy chuckle, still in disbelief this was happening.

She pulled back her hand after he left a warm kiss against her palm, ears heating up the affection. She held out her other hand for him to take, and he does gently which made hers curl around his ringed hand.

He raised his free hand up in the air between them off to the side, which made her place her hand into his gently, and he intertwined their fingers together with a squeeze to both of their hand holding each others.

(Y/N) slid her left hand up towards Adrien's shoulder slowly knowing they were about to dance a little, as his other one moved down to gently rest on her waist, all while the two stared at each other with love filled expressions.

"You're so beautiful." He breathed out in a soft voice as though he couldn't quite believe she was real, as he gently pulls her body closer to hers, and his eyes crinkled spotting her embarrassed face that made his heat flutter happily.

At the movement of them being closer now, her face still showed to be flushed as she slide the hand on his shoulder to the back of his neck, and the other went up towards his chest. While he kept the hand already on her waist, and the other went up around her middle back.

Amid the enchanting snowfall beneath Paris' starlit night, their dance seemed to suspend time itself. Their bodies swayed to a melody only they could hear, drawing them impossibly close. The cold air crackled with anticipation, the unspoken words between them creating an electric tension.

His breath mingled with hers, warm against the cold winter air, as their faces hovered mere inches apart. Their gazes locked, eyes searching other's depths, emotions swirling like eddies in a river. His fingers grazed her lower back, sending shivers through her as her heart raced.

Every brush of their fingers, every almost-kiss and kiss between them as their hero identities, intensified the connection, their souls yearning to bridge the gap for good this time.

She could feel his every heartbeat, the rapid rhythm mirroring her own. It was a moment of exquisite vulnerability, where the world melted away and all the remained was the magnetic pull between them.

Snowflakes settled on their eyelashes, on their hair, creating an ethereal around them. Their eyes flutter closed shut as his nose gently brushed up against hers, lips inching closer to each other, a soft caress that felt like a promise of a breathtaking moment about to unfold.

And as their slow dancing came to a stop, at the precipice of desire, their lips finally met against each others in the middle. It was a collision of longing, and tenderness, a kiss that held every stolen glance, every unspoken confession.

He sighs gently into her mouth as their lips moved against one another in passionate sync, and he goes to deepen it by placing a hand behind her head. The world disappeared, leaving only the taste of each other, and the symphony of their hearts echoing in the snowy Parisian night.

THE END.
