Don't sue me. I know I'm late...

Primvère Rosé's P.O.V.

"Tell me, m'lady, did you ever fall in love with anyone before?" Cat Noir asks me as I walk in front of him. We're just walking on the roof after a rogue bus rescue. Ladybug wasn't here since it was just me and Cat Noir on duty.

Confused by his question I ask, "Did you seriously ask me what I think you did?" I chuckle as his face goes red. He nods to which I can't help but feel butterflies at his expression.

"Well, actually, I don't know..." I say briefly recalling the Adrien being the source of my dreams. I can't bring myself to tell Cat Noir, however, feeling that it might set off a wildfire in him.

A nervous giggle erupts from my lips when I think about it.

"Why the sudden question?" I ask and he looks down. He gives me a sheepish smile and takes me by my hand. "I didn't know how to ask you but..."

He pauses which makes my heart jump in my chest, scared of what he was going to ask.

"Would you like to have dinner tonight? Rooftop-style?"

My chest narrows at the question. He gazes at me hopefully as I just raise an eyebrow.

"Dinner?" I ask following with a giggle, "I didn't think you were the type to ask girls out on a dinner, Cat Noir."

He just grins at my question, "So, you're coming?" He asks with a trusting gaze. I shrug as I continue walking on the edge of the roof.

"I have some plans tonight. Gonna meet up with some friends..." I say, hoping he'll drop the topic but he speeds in front of me forcing me to stop.

"The only time we can see each other is when there is an Akuma on the loose..." He says, "Meet me after you hang out with them? Please?" He says with his eyes shining. I stare into his green orbs and sigh.

"We'll see..." I say and then pat his hair.

---

With a long inhale, I open the door to my mother's room. I scan the room to see her on the bed with some paperwork. She looks up at me.

"Hey, sweetie..."

"How's it going with the store?" I ask and she sighs, "Finishing it up," She replies as she places some folders together.

"I can't wait for it!" She says as she puts the folders in her bag, "After a few weeks, we're going to have our flower shop!" She says and I smile. Being a lover of flowers, my mother finally had the support to open up a flower store. She has been planning this for months now.

"Weren't you going to go out with your friends?"

"Yeah, just wanted to check on you..." I admit and then she grins. I dip on to the bed and lay my head on her lap as she pats my head.

"Is Adrien going to be there?" She asks making me glare at her.

"MOM!" I grimace.

"What? I'm just asking..." She says as she shrugs. I roll my eyes at her and sit up before turning to leave the room.

"Bye," I say as I close the door.

"Have fun!"

I walk out of the house with a bright smile on my face. Adrien finally had the time to fix his schedule and come today for a hangout...with some friends, of course.

The sun finally starts to set and I could feeling my heart's pace pick up. I arrive at the location we were going to meet and already see Alya waving at me.

This is it!

"Hey!" I say and I go in for a hug. I look around to see Mylene, Ivan and Nino behind her.

"Where's Adrien?" I ask. The look on Alya's face makes me confused. "Don't be mad, (Y/N)...but Nino just got a text that Adrien's father isn't letting him out tonight..."

"Oh." I inhale softly as I feel my lips sink into a frown. But soon enough I grin at her, "It's okay. I'll just be the third wheel tonight!" I cheer as she laughs. Both of us walk to our group, "Where are we going anyway...?"

"To Andre's ice-cream cart!" Alya cheers. I let out a smile at her excitement.

"Where does he pitch his cart?"

Nino chuckles deeply.

"The secret to Andre's cart is that we never know where he is! We just have to find the clues he left for us!" He says, showing me a map of where Andre is usually seen.

"Look, someone posted a picture of him on the Pon des Arts! Let's go!"

We all cheer and go in the direction of the location. I notice how happy all of them are and feel like I'm trespassing in some unknown ground.

Please let this be a good day...

"The first time Mylene and I searched for Andre, it took us three hours to find him!" Ivan says as he snuggles up to the said-girl. Mylene giggles, "You still remember that?" They were so cute together and a perfect match...

Then my gaze shifts to Alya and Nino cuddling into each other's arms next to me. Now I really feel like I'm intruding. I awkwardly walk between the two couples and then finally reaching our destination, I point at the cart in front of us.

Andre's cart was visible in the middle of the bridge. Ivan and Myle approach him first as I let out a relieved sigh. Seeing them, the ice-cream man's eyes light up in adoration.

"Ah! Ivan and Mylene! Aren't you still the cutest couple I've ever seen?" He greets them, "Chocolate, praline and nougat for you! A special concoction to keep your love true!" He says and hands them the ice-cream on a chocolate wafer cone. Alya and Nino take up to him and he eyes them, "Ah! These two I've never seen! Is this your first time with me?" He asks and they nod shyly since it was their first date in a while.

I can't help but watch from afar, eventually deciding to sit on one of the bridge's seats provided for pedestrians.

"Here I was, thinking I would be spending time with Adrien..." I mumble softly for Seven to hear. She pops out of my pocket and sighs, "Why don't you get one?" She asks and then I scoff.

"No point. Marinette said Andre's ice-cream is supposed to be shared with the one you're willing to spend the rest of your life with..." I sigh and rest my head on my hand. I hated myself for feeling this way.

"And who is this pretty girl who sighs?"

Andre's voice pulls me out of the void as he stands before me and looks at me with sympathetic eyes. I look at him confused and look around, "Who, me?"

"Yes, get up, my darling." He pulls me from the seat. "What is your name?"

"(Y/N)..." I say reluctantly as he goes to his stand.

"Peach pink like his lips; mint greet like his eyes! Eat this, my dear, and your love will materialize!" He says handing me a cone with the said-ice cream. My cheeks heat in discomfort.

"I don't understand...I think you have been mistaken, I'm not in love with anyone..." I admit but he laughs.

"But, of course, you are, my little one. When there's love burning form one's heart, Andre knows from the start." He assures which makes me look at the ice cream. Certainly, it looks delicious.

"Minty green eyes?" Ivan suddenly ponders, "Do we know anyone like that?" His words make my head spin.

Peach pink lips? Green eyes? It can't be...

Images form in my head and I begin to panic.

"I'm sorry but I'm not." I try returning it but he insists. "I'm sure he's out there somewhere!" He says and I bite my lip.

I'm about to say something but a random person pushes me and my ice cream falls to the ground. Andre gasps in shock as I just stand there speechless.

"Don't worry, (Y/N). I'll make a new one for you!" He says and I suddenly feel a melancholic pain in my chest.

"Here." He hands me another identical one but I pull away from it.

"You're very sweet, Andre, but I'm sure I don't have anyone like that..." I say.

"Seriously, do we know anyone like that?" Ivan continues and I feel my temper rise.

"Lay off, Ivan. There's no one like that, okay?" My voice breaks causing me to look away.

"I'm sorry but I think I should go..." I let out before taking off from the scene. A sense of guilt tugs in the pit of my stomach biting me from within but I couldn't help it. I couldn't bear to be in that situation anymore.

Before I know it, I'm in my room with tears flowing from the corner of my eyes. It takes me a few deep breaths before I text Alya.

I'm sorry for taking off like that...

I send and wait as I see the tiny speech bubble appear from her side.

Alya: No bigger, girl. It happens

I purse my lips at her text.

"I messed up this time, huh? I ruined their plans just because I couldn't accept the fact that I have no one to love like them..."

A shaky sigh escapes from my lips. "I'm such a trainwreck..." I say and curl up like a ball on my bed, letting tears flow out.

"What the hell is wrong with me?"

Seven pulls a hair out of my face and caresses my forehead.

"Nothing, (Y/N). You just felt things that you couldn't control and overreacted a little bit." She says and a part of me agreed with that.

"I-I need some fresh air..." I jump out of my bed and hop out to the balcony on the roof. I lean on the railing. Since it was already night-time, I didn't mind if I was seen. Alone...so that I can get my thoughts together and find my way out of this horrible mess.

Why am I so pathetic...?

Soft sniffles escape my lip as I keep beating myself up. "Oh god..." I bury my face into my arms and inhale deeply. It's a cold night and my thoughts relax as the icy breeze of the night brushes over my face.

A crash brings me back to reality which makes me jump in shock to the source of the sound.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you..."

A familiar voice echoes out in the darkness.

"Who is it?" I call out, still startled. Fear takes over my mind as I begin to tremble but as the figure comes to the light, I let out a secret sigh of relief.

"Cat Noir..." I breathe softly noticing his sad expression.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have superhero things to do?" I say in a joking manner to lighten the mood.

"I don't feel like doing anything right now...and also no plans on being alone, so can I hang out here for a while?" He asks and the way he says it breaks my heart.

"Sure, I don't mind." I scoot sideways for some space as he jumps down and sits on the railing. He stays silent for a while as his eyes stray into the night sky.

"You're (Y/N), right? We've bumped into each other a few times..." He says and I nod, "Yeah, a couple. Remember the time I turned into an angel and attacked you?" I chuckle nervously at his silence.

"Yeah," A smile tugs on his cheeks. Something was off. Where was that childish cat I knew?

"Had a bad day?" I ask him, holding the bars of the railing.

"Well, sort of...I had this special surprise planned out for Primvère."

My eyes widen at that. Gears grind in my head for a way to respond to him.

"You're in love with Primvère Rosé?"

For real?

He nods and then turns to me before scanning my expression. Not long before he gives me a look of confusion.

"You were crying."

It's my turn to look confused.

"N-No...what are you-"

"Don't lie to me." He pulls his hand to my cheek and wipes away a stray tear that I didn't know fell from my cheek. My body heats up at his sudden action.

"So, what was this special surprise...?"

"It doesn't matter...because she didn't show..." He says, unbeknownst to the harsh pang of guilt in my chest. I have the abrupt urge to apologize over and over but...he doesn't know I'm her.

I clench my teeth at his words, giving up at the thought.

"Sounds like we both need some cheering up tonight..." I give him a sad smile and he turns to me.

"You too?"

"Yep. I screwed up big time today, all because I couldn't decide on a broken heart...so I know how you feel..." I admit nervously.

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't be." I try to suppress the tears from flowing again. He probably notices it as he drops down and holds out his hand for me, "Come with me..."

I look at him with his proposal, thinking whether it was a bad idea or not. But looking at his eyes, I take his hand.

"Close your eyes and hold on tight." He says as he carries me bridal style. I do so and wrap my arms around his neck, suddenly feeling my heart pick up its pace. He jumps from my balcony, building to building and lands somewhere.

"Keep them closed." He instructs and I just nod as I feel a rush of adrenaline, excited to see what surprise he prepared.

"You can open them now..."

I open my eyes and as soon as I do, I feel my heart shatter. We were on a roof, beautifully decorated with candles and roses. My breath hitches as I look around in wonder. "Cat Noir...this is so beautiful..." I turn to him with a huge smile

Yet, he turns his back to me, leaning on the bannister as he looks down.

"She said she might not be able to show but I had my fingers crossed. I really wanted her to come..." He says and my body tenses at his voice.

I'm so sorry...

"I'm sure Primvère Rosé would love it..." I say but he shakes his head. I walk towards him and pat his back.

I pat his fluffy blonde hair, trying to suppress the frisson in my chest.

"You know, Primvère Rosé is very lucky to have you..."

"You think?"

I chuckle at the glint in his eyes when I say that. I nod at him. A smile appears on his lips and I return that smile.

"I know she's lucky. Maybe she had a good reason not to come, that's all."

He sighs deeply and turns away yet again, which makes me frown.

"You don't have to say that to make me feel better."

His eyes begin to water.

"Hey,"

"Do you want a hug?" I ask since it was the least I could do. I expect him to shake his head and decline but he turns to me.

"Oh yes please," He quickly falls on my chest and I'm taken aback for a moment. I give in to his scent and slowly wrap my arms around his chest.

I'm an idiot...

"There, there..." I whisper and we stay like that for a moment. He pulls away and turns from me.

"I-I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." He apologizes but I giggle.

"No need to say sorry, kitty..."

It takes me a moment to realize what I said.

"What?"

"W-Wait...I-I didn't mean to-"

He laughs at my embarrassment. "It's funny because that's what she calls me..." He says. Our eyes connect for a while.

Mint green like his eyes...

My eyes gaze down to his lips.

Peach pink like his lips...

"Cat Noir..."

But then I feel a sharp pain in my chest which makes my turn away and whimper.

"(Y/N). Are you okay?" He panics when I grasp my chest. I look at him with an assuring smile but then notice something charging towards us.

"Look out!" I point behind him and quick to his reflex, he dodges it pulling me away.

We turn out eyes to the villain.

"(Y/N)! You're looking so sad and glassy today but don't you worry! Glaciator will make it all better!" The giant ice-cream snowman says and Cat Noir and I hide from him.

"Who is that?" Cat Noir asks quizzically. My mind clicks in a second as I realise who it is.

"That's Andre, the ice-cream maker..."

We watch as the said-villain purges people into ice-cream.

"The sweethearts' ice-cream guy? He isn't looking too sweet right now..."

"It's a long story..." I say guiltily as he takes me back to my house.

"I'll hold him back, you stay hidden, alright?" He says, about to take leave.

"Wait!" I grab him by his tail to stop him.

"Thank you, Cat Noir...for making me feel better," I say with a shy smile. He grins, inching down to pat my head.

"You too, (Y/N)." He says and then bolts off to defeat the villain.

"Wow," Seven lays on my shoulder, "I've never seen Cat Noir so sensitive..." She says.

"I can't believe I took him for the bad boy type. This is a side that he's only shown to me..." I whisper with a warm feeling on my chest, "I just hope he's not too mad at Primvère Rosé for standing him up..."

"Well, no time to lose, Paris needs Prim! Seven, It's springtime to bloom!" I chant and then transform into my alter ego.

I carefully step out of the balcony, as to not alarm my probably sleeping mother and jump off the edge and heading for the sight of the villain.

" ♪ I'm Glaciator, the mean ice-cream man! Try to escape me if you can! I'd melt your heart but I was wrong! I'll freeze your body so long~ ♪ "

I follow his singing and spot him near the Seine. Ladybug already seemed to be battling the snowman alongside Cat Noir. I enter the battle and make sure to dodge the ice-cream he shoots at us.

"Mean little kitty! Where did you hide (Y/N)!?"

Ladybug cocks his head to me when he says that.

"What did you do?!" She whisper-yells at me and I sheepishly grin at her.

"It's a long story~"

Glaciator throws off Cat Noir and knocks him off. Before he hits the ground, I catch him with my whip.

"Kitty..." I awkwardly offer my hand to pick him up but he gets up on his own and sends me a cold glare.

"How was your amazing evening with your friends?" He asks with his arms crossed. I'm taken aback by his sudden hostility.

"Disastrous," I say and smile. My chest clenches when he continues starting me down. He scoffs and heads back to the villain leaving me behind.

So, he is mad...

I let out a frustrated groan and follow suit. We protect the bystanders in the villain's way and gather up at a hiding spot to figure out a plan.

"His ice-cream scooper must be where his Akuma is," I state earning a nod from both parties.

"Did you notice how he didn't shoot couples?" Ladybug asks to which I nod.

"Too bad for us..." Cat Noir reprimands.

"You don't understand!" Ladybug sighs, "You and Primvère Rosé can pretend to be..well, you know, a couple!"

"That way we can trick him into letting his guard down..."

His glare darkens when I say that. "Sorry, Primvère, it's not cool to play with people's feelings." He bursts at me and goes down to fight the villain.

Ladybug, being oblivious to his behaviour, gives me a questionable look.

"Geez, who ruffled his whiskers?" She asks to which I sigh again, "Another long story..."

"Well, you better sort this out...whatever's going on..." She gestures to Cat. I shudder, "I'll go talk to him..."

Cat Noir gets pinned down by the Glaciator who's about to shoot him so I block the attack from getting to him.

"Are you mad that I didn't show up this evening?!" He rolls his eyes, "What do you think?"

"I didn't mean to hurt you..." I grab him and dodge the villain from smashing us as we hide behind a car. Ladybug distracts him.

"And I even prepared a surprise for you..." He admits to which I frown.

"I don't have any excuse for standing you up, Cat Noir. I'm really sorry. I just...am really lucky to have you but I didn't see that." I say to him and his eyes widen. He looks down and chuckles, "She was right..."

"What?"

"I'm the one who's supposed to be sorry. I didn't mean to be so rude..." He apologizes to which I grin, "Now we're even~"

"Let's pretend to be a couple...like Ladybug said."

From the tone of his voice, I knew he didn't like that word.

"Let's do this." We both come out of the hiding spot. Ladybug jumps out of the way and Cat Noir and I turn to each other. He tries to grab my hand but I snuggle my head on his shoulder and link my arm into his. His cheeks turn red at my action. We walk towards the Glaciator who struggles to shoot us. When he aims at us, deepen my touch and kiss Cat Noir's cheek.

"H-Hey..." He backs away nervously but I soothe him. When we get close enough, I smirk.

"Now!" I signal Ladybug to get him as I use my whip to hold him down. Ladybug uses her yo-yo get to him but it gets stuck.

"There's something there! Andre's not the monster, he's inside it!" She states but gets thrown off by the villain. I slice the giant's legs which makes him tumble down.

"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug chants and a helmet appears on his hands.

"Looks like we're going for a ride~" Cat Noir jokes and I smile.

"There's my kitty..." I say as Ladybug hands me the helmet.

"Do you know how to ride a bike?"

"WHAT?!"

"Relax, you just need to get it started." She chuckles at my expression. "Cat Noir, use your stick and three signboards to make a propeller!" She orders to which his eyebrows raise.

"A propeller?" He asks but obediently does so as I grab a bike fallen on the ground and park it in front of a toppled bus.

Ladybug grabs the makeshift propeller from Cat Noir and fixes it on the engine wheel of the bike, facing the toppled bus.

"Ready?!" She asks as I rev up the engine making the propeller spin and a huge gust of air sends through blocked by the bus.

"Go!" She traps the incoming villain between two poles with her yo-yo. I

"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir activates his power and destroys the bus which gives way to the trapped villain.

"Speed up!" He asks and then I do so which causes the villain to melt with Andre falling to the ground. Ladybug goes ahead and grabs the scooper, breaking it.

"Time to de-evilise!" She captures the Akuma and releases it.

"Miraculous Ladybug/Primrose!" As usual, everything goes back to normal.

"No more injustice in the world and here's a token from a rose~," I chant and purple rose petals form around me and then head over to Andre. The petals huddle around his body and an ice-cream apron forms.

"Ah! Wonderful! To be saved from the cold by super-lovebirds!" He says which makes Cat Noir chuckle.

"He said it."

---

"Cat Noir..." A smile forms on my lips as I walk down the familiar beautifully-lit rooftop.

"Aren't you glad you finally came?" He asks. I can only look at him with a pained expression.

His eyebrows furrow as he steps forward, closing in the distance between us.

"What is it, m'lady?" He asks with sad eyes making me clench my fist.

"This is truly sweet of you, kitty..." I begin, "But I don't want to keep on lying or hurting you..."

"Why would you hurt me when you're already here?" He asks and places a hand on my cheek. I pull it down.

"I...well, there's this boy..."

"There's a boy?" He says in disbelief, "Who...is it?" I can almost see the hurt in his eyes.

"I can't tell you anything about what my life is like...we have to protect our identities." I try to smile from him as his eyes show a downcast emotion.

"It's alright, Prim...I get it." He says and inches towards me.

"But just for tonight, can we have this dance?" He asks with a sombre tone. With a long look into his heartbroken eyes, I nod.

"Of course..."

He grabs me by my waist and pulls me closer, my body shudders at the sudden action.

"W-Wait...I don't-"

"Calm down, m'lady..." He smiles, "I'm not going to eat you up..."

I nod, feeling strangely calming after he assures me. His eyes bear into mine, his gaze deep enough to my knees go weak. He slowly starts moving and I follow his lead. The sudden familiarity of his touch makes me place my head on his chest. His heartbeat can be heard loud and rapid in his chest.

"Oh, Cat Noir..." I whisper as I feel calm in his arms, sinking deeper into his soft leather.

And I can only wish to stay like this forever.
