(Y/N) (L/N)'s P.O.V.

"Tonight, for our first edition of Face To Face, you'll have the opportunity of a lifetime! The chance to talk live with Primvère Rosé, Ladybug and Cat Noir!"

I could see the expression in Seven's eyes turn blank with annoyance without even looking at her.

"Along with me, Nadja Chamack, we'll be revealing some sizzling hot information about your favourite superheroes. Don't be bemused, it's just the news." With that, I finally turn to her and look into her eyes.

I roll around with my chair nervously, waiting for her to say something.

"I mean..." I awkwardly grin, "What could go wrong?"

"EVERYTHING!" She exaggerates as she sits on my table where my computer laid. "What part of 'hot sizzling information' did you even get?! You might spill out something about yourself in the heat of pressure!"

I roll my eyes at her, "Alright! I get it! It's kind of risky but Marinette already said she's going to be there. Just think about it! An entire one-hour show just for me and my fellow superfriends! It's so cool! They can't do this without Primvère Rosé!" I smile at her.

"And besides, I'd hate to stand Nadja Chamack up! She's been waiting for this show to air for months!" I pout, "Pretty please..."

Seven frowns and thinks for a while, "This is a bad idea..." She says, looking a little bit sceptical but eventually nods.

"Thank you, Seven! You're the best!" I hug her deeply.

"It's time..."

I've already transformed into Primvère Rosé before rushing to the studio. But now that I'm here...

"Maybe I shouldn't do this...?" I reluctantly pace around on top of a building.

Fifteen minutes left...

"What's got you worried, m'lady~?" A voice from behind startles me but I already know who it is.

"I'm just second-guessing this thing..." I reply to Cat Noir as he stands beside me. He chuckles and places his baton behind his shoulders. "No need to fear when I'm here, my rose~" He takes my hand and places a kiss on it.

I give him a flat glare before pulling my hand away.

"Stick to you words, kitty~" I wink at him before swinging into the studio.

I enter the designated room and head towards the set where a lavish sofa's placed for us.

Cat Noir and I sit down with him to my right.

Nadja sits across us and she seems distracted with something. When she notices us, her eyes widen, "Primvère! Cat Noir! You're here together!" She smiles widely at us.

I nod, "At your service, Mrs. Chamack." I say as I bow slightly.

"Looks like Ladybug's running a little late," Cat Noir comments which make me chuckle. 'She'll be here, alright." I say a little too confidently as I cross my legs and sit back comfortably into the sofa.

A few minutes pass as I have idle chat with Cat Noir.

"We're live in thirty seconds, people!" The director says making my eyebrows furrow.

"Where is she...?" I mutter to myself.

"In 10...9...8...7...6..."

I cross my fingers and hope that she'll be here.

"5...4...."

"I'M HERE!!!" Ladybug bursts into the door and swings towards the set before sitting on my right.

Nadja's grin widens when she sees her.

"I thought you were going to stand us up!" Cat Noir says with a teasing smirk which makes her roll her eyes.

"And let down the audience? Never!" She says, a little out of breath. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Chamack for being late!" She apologizes and looks at me.

"Where have you been?" I whisper to her.

"You have no idea..."

The intro music plays and Nadja faces the cameras, "Good Evening, everyone. My name is Nadja Chamack and welcome to our first edition of Face to Face. Our first guests are our beloved guardians of Paris; Primvère Rosé, Ladybug and Cat Noir!" We all wave at the camera as she gestures us.

"Thank you so much for accepting this exclusive interview!" She says to us.

Ladybug smiles, "Well...thank you for inviting us! We're honoured to be here!" She says and keeps waving at the camera.

"Hello, Paris~" I give the camera a two-fingered salute.

"And hello to all my fans~" Cat Noir follows.

"People know you, but they don't really know you. We see you but only a glimpse." Nadja says, "We just want to ask you a few questions relating to your personal life..."

I shrug, "As long as it doesn't reveal our secret identities!"

"First of all, we would like to ask you, how is it like to be here instead of fighting super villains?" She asks making me smile. "It's nice to be here! I mean us, superheroes, do have free time when there aren't any Akumas flying around." I state which makes her chuckle.

Ladybug follows, "It's great to open up to our fans in a calmer way..." She jokes and I shake my head.

Cat Noir nods, "I don't mind. As long as I'm spending time with my rose here~" He nudges me making me scoff.

"I wouldn't say the same..." I state as I ring the bell on his collar.

Nadja's eyes sparkle at our interaction, "It's clear that you both are very close..." My head snaps towards her.

I definitely heard that.

"Let's head on to some questions by your fans!" She proceeds.

"Let's do it!" Ladybug cheers as she swipes from her tablet which makes us look towards the big screen.

There Chloe's face pops up. Ladybug's expression droops.

"Hello, caller. State your name." Nadja says to her which makes the snob scoff.

"Seriously? Who do you think would call Paris' most popular superheroes? Their most devoted fan, of course! Moi~, Chloe Bourgeois!"

Nadja smiles, "Of course, Miss Bourgeois. Do you have a question for our guests?" She asks.

Chloe rolls her eyes, "No. Just wanted to say 'Hi' to my superhero friends. Hi! Prim, Ladybug! Remember me?" She waves at the screen to us which makes me shake my head.

"Technically a question, though..." I state which makes Chloe laugh, "You're so funny, Prim!"

Nadja looks at Chloe in disbelief, "If that's all, thank you for your time. On with the next caller!"

"Hey! I'm not finished! Who give YOU the right to-"

Chloe's face disappears from the screen, now replaced with Alya's. I smile and look at Ladybug. But instead of the expression I was expecting, I see her face filled with worry.

"Hey, Primvère Rosé, Ladybug and Cat Noir! I'm Alya and I was wondering whether you'd grab me an interview for my LadyRosé blog!" She says making me smile as she continues, "You know since I have way more viewers than Nadja~" She says.

Now it's my turn to widen my eyes in shock.

I look at the said-host who looks at Alya, a little offended.

"What do you say?" Alya persists making me look at Ladybug and Cat Noir. They shrug.

"U-Uh...sure..." I smile forcedly at Alya who cheers.

Then, another face pops up on the screen. That of Manon's...

"Mommy!" The child says to the screen. Nadja's eyebrow rise at her, "Manon?! W-where's Marinette?!"

Oh...

"She had to go tell her parents something!" Manon says which makes me chuckle in amusement.

Alya grins awkwardly, "Yeah! She said it might take a while!"

"Really? You left Manon for this interview?" I whisper to Ladybug who scoffs flustered.

"It was a matter of life and death!" She whisper-yells back at me.

Nadja closes the screen as she looks down, clearly annoyed.

"Okay, let's move on, shall we?" She covers her dissatisfaction with a smile.

"This question is directed to both Primvère and Cat Noir." She states before looking at us two.

"A lot of fans think of you as a couple of superheroes doing their job, helping others in time of need. But they also think of you and I quoth-unquote... 'as a couple." Period." She says with a smirk.

My eyes widen at her words. A blush starts forming on my cheeks, "WHAT?!" I scream, feeling violated.

"Can you confirm that you're dating, here, tonight?" She asks which makes my blood boil.

"I'm sorry, Nadja, but this is ridiculous! W-We're superheroes! We're not here to answer such-such...personal questions!" I say to her and cross my arms.

"Meow~ I guess my rose has some thorns~," He says with a cocky smirk making me growl at him. I look at Ladybug in a frenzy. She gives me an entertained look but looks towards Nadja. "We're here to show all Parisians that they're safe and that there's only a matter of time before we take down Hawk Moth!" Ladybug says with a smile as I start to calm down.

Nadja nods at us and the swipes up a photo, "Then how do you explain this?" She says.

I look up to the big screen and then freeze in panic. It's a picture of me kissing Cat Noir when we defeated Dark Cupid.

Cat Noir looks at it in utter confusion. "WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?!" He asks making me gulp. "I was saving you from Dark Cupid, not kissing you!" I state and then he whips his head towards me. "THAT'S WHY YOU CALL ME A THIEF-"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" I cover my face with my hands in embarrassment.

I see Ladybug enjoying this as she lets out an amused laugh.

Nadja then proceeds to swipe up different pictures of Cat Noir and I 'bonding' throughout.

"These pictures are out of context! We're just here to save Paris not pucker up for the next Akuma!" I say in frustration. "We're not a couple!"

Cat Noir then looks at me, "But maybe in the future-"

"NOT NOW, CAT NOIR!" I yell at him and he pouts.

"Come on, just tell us the truth! Our audience is waiting!" Nadja pursues making me shake my head.

"Enough! This interview is so over! Let's go!" I say as I stand up from the couch.

"What's the rush?" Ladybug and Cat Noir look at me in confusion. I think up of an excuse, "Uh...there's an alert! Paris needs us now!" I say as I pull them out and start walking towards the exit.

Nadja looks at us impatiently, "Wait! The show isn't over yet! What about your fans?" She says making me look back at her, annoyed.

"If they were true fans, they'd understand..." I say and slam the door shut as we leave. Without saying a word, I jump out of a window and swing to the roof of the building.

The cold air of the night breezes, soothing my face from all the burning with frustration pent up inside.

"So who're we saving?" Cat Noir asks making me turn towards him.

"Just ourselves! Nadja was willing to do anything to make her show a success! And I'm not about to answer any more of her prime questions!" I say and look down.

Ladybug gives me a goofy smile.

"You're not helping, Ladybug..." I pout as I see her trying to suppress a laugh.

"But that's the price of success, m'lady, of stardom!" Cat Noir says making me give him a flattened-glare.

"We're not stars! We're superheroes! We should be doing our job! Not looking like fools on TV!" I say in anger.

That's when the familiar pain strikes. I yelp as the effect takes place.

"What's wrong?" Ladybug looks at me.

"An Akuma..." I mutter as I look at both of them.

"No time for chit-chat, we've got a city to save!" I say as I get ready to swing.

Just then, the large screen statics before us.

"Welcome to a new show hosted by me, Prime Queen! Don't be bemused, it's just the news!" The person says sinisterly to which we immediately recognise the villain, "Nadja?!" All three of us look at each other.

"It seems that our beloved superheroes have disappointed their loyal fans! Primvère Rosé and Cat Noir refused to declare their love for each other! Tonight, I've prepared some tests to show how far they'll keep hiding the truth from us!" She says and then a screen appears behind her of Chloe live from her house. She goes through the screen and captures her with her flogger.

"Hey!" Chloe tries to free herself.

"Our first guest is Chloe Bourgeois, who claims to be a very close friend to our superheroes!" Prime Queen snickers at her, "Let's see if you can count on them!" She says and then takes Chloe to the subway station, trapping her in one of the compartment. It then shows Prime Queen taking control of the train.
"Welcome to the Subway of Suspense! You can say goodbye to Chloe!" She says and increases the speed of the train. On the screen, there's a view-metre which indicates the number of views the show is getting. The views start to increase which make the villain smirk, "Look here! The ratings are rising!"

"If you want to save your precious friend, you can travel to the screen and do it!" She taunts us.

"What if it's a trap?" Ladybug hesitantly asks but I sigh.

"We don't have a choice," I say to her. Cat Noir nods, "There are many, many subway lines in Paris. So if we want to get to Chloe in time, we have to leap!" He states.

"Let's do it..." I say as we ready to jump.

We jump into the screen and find ourselves on the train as expected.

"Finally! What took you so long!?" Chloe yells at us, "Now get me out of this-" She gets interrupted as the train bumps abruptly into something and she falls.

"Hide here..." I tell her.

Prime Queen appears in front of us. She laughs evilly, "You're about to become the stars of the highest-rated show in history!" She says and points to her watch. I then notice that she has the same watch she used when we were in the interview.

"The Akuma must be in her watch," I say in a hushed tone.

"Ladybug, you find a way out..." I whisper to her, "We'll take care of Prime Queen..."

Cat Noir and I attack her. She dodges out attacks and jumps out of a screen. I smash the screen she jumps out of.

"We're trapped!" Ladybug says as she tries the door.

Prime Queen guffaws from the screen, "The rules in my show are simple! Tell the truth live that you're dating and in love and I'll stop the train." She says and I'm guessing she means Cat Noir and me.

"Superheroes never lie! We won't admit to something that's not true..." I say to her which makes her furious. "I want my scoop!" She says which makes me growl.

"I'll use my Cataclysm!" Cat Noir suggests but I stop him, "No...leave it for another time..." I say which makes both of them confused. "What other time is there?!" Ladybug asks and I look at Cat Noir.

"All we can do now is lure her here so we can capture her Akuma. We have to stall her..." I say and walk towards him. His eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"Okay, Prime Queen, you win!" I say in fake defeat. I take Cat Noir's hand and intertwine it with mine.

"Oh boy..." Ladybug looks away in disgust and closes her ears with her hands.

"Cat Noir and I..." I gulp and look at him, "...We're dating, as you said...and..."

"We're in love..." I say. Then the train stops so quick that we fall.

I pin Cat Noir to the door and fall on his chest. "Ow..." I mutter and rub my head before looking up.

"Cat Noir, are you oka-" I say but then I hear him...purring. I notice how close our bodies are so I straighten myself up. "Did...I just hear you purr?" I ask with a smirk, a little amused.

He blushes deeply and looks away, "N-No way..." He says. But before I can say anything, Prime Queen laughs victoriously. We both look at the screen.

"Our two heroic love birds are saving their fans' lives by admitting to their true feelings! Our viewers are going crazy!" She says which makes me blush as she shows a clip of us holding hands.

I can hear Ladybug snickering from behind.

"But that's not enough!" She says making me grumble.

"What more do you want?!" I yell.

"The ratings haven't maxed out yet! So you must do better!" She says making me glare at the screen.

Ladybug smirks, "Then come and join us, Prime Queen. You are the show's host after all..." She says which makes the said-villain frown.

"My show, my rules! To prove that your feelings are genuine for each other, you have to take off your masks! That's right, give me your miraculouses!" She says making me scoff.

"Not a chance!" I yell at her.

"Wait!" Cat Noir places a hand on my shoulder, "I know how we can prove out feelings!" He says. I look at him confused.

He places his other hand on my back and pulls me closer. "Cat, what-" He shushes me, "Pucker up~," He says and grins widely before leaning closer to me with his eyes closed.

At first, I'm startled, but then I give him a deadpanned look and place a finger on his lips before he can come any closer. I push him, "Not a chance, kitty..." I glare at him which makes him put his head down in defeat.

"Worth a try..." He says which makes me look up to the screen.

Prime Queen grimaces at us before the screen turns black.

"Is the show over?" Ladybug taps the screen. It turns back on right after.

"My dear viewers, you're in for a reveal of a lifetime!" Prime Queen says as now we see her in the Lourve. She opens a mummy coffin which reveals Alya inside it. I gasp in fear.

"Please help me!" She screams before the villain closes the coffin.

"Oh wait! Isn't this the girl who started the famous LadyRosé blog?! The first one to film the superheroes?!" Prime Queen taunts sarcastically which make me clench my fists.

Ladybug looks at the screen with panic, "No! Alya!" She screams.

"Next; Primvère Rosé, Ladybug and Cat Noir will reveal their identities or else their friend will get mummified!" The villain guffaws making me growl. The screen turns static and my hand passes through it.

"Let's get in before she runs!" I say and the two of them nod.

We all dive into the screen and we get transported. But we aren't in the Louvre...but in a freezer. The screen goes black again.

"Not this again..." Cat Noir rubs his arms for warmth. I shiver with the temperature in the freezer.

"It was a double-cross!" Ladybug grumbles as she tries to open the freezer door.

The screen turns on for us to see Prime Queen with a large smirk on her face.

"Cataclysm...?" Cat Noir looks at me as if asking for permission.

"We're probably too far from the Louvre now..." I blow warm air into my palms.

He smirks at me, "A kiss, then?" He asks and advances towards me again but I frown, "Still not a chance, Cat Noir..." I say sternly. He pouts this time.

"The time has come to push the ratings sky high! All you have to do is remove your miraculouses and reveal yourselves! The whole world is waiting!" She says which makes me look at Ladybug.

"Unless you want to see your friend in deep waters!" She threatens us making my eyes widen. We see her put the mummy coffin in front of a screen which shows the Seine river. She starts pushing the coffin towards it.

"Ladybug!" I yell for her to activate her power.

"Lucky Charm!" She activates and a roll of tape falls on her hands.

"You can't keep the audience waiting~"

She uses her Lucky Vision to see what to do. "Of course!" She yells and then goes to work.

I too look through the surroundings in divine mode. Ladybug pulls out a pizza box out of a compartment in the freezer before taping it on the screen, blocking Prime Queen's vision from us.

"You win, Prime Queen! We're going to remove our miraculouses and show the whole world who we are!" Ladybug say to which I add, "And we're going to kiss!" I smirk. Cat Noir wiggles his eyebrows at me but I glare at him.

"It would be quite a scandal! So unlucky..." Ladybug continues. We all get ready in our stance.

Prime Queen punches through the pizza box which makes me pull her in. Cat Noir breaks the screen, "And now, you're stuck with us." He says.

She starts attacking us as we try to get to her watch.

I pin her down on the ground as I lock my legs around her neck and pull out her hand. Ladybug uses her yo-yo to break the watch and the Akuma flies out.

Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm to open the freezer door.

"Time to de-evilise!" Ladybug de-evilises the Akuma and releases it.

She throws the tape roll on the air and I shoot and arrow. Everything goes back to normal.

"Pound it!" We fist bump and then turn our attention to Nadja.

"No more injustice in the world and here's a token from a rose~," I chant and rose petals form around me. It hovers over to Nadja's wrist and a rose bracelet forms around it. She looks at it in awe.

"I'm sorry for being so pushy back there..." She looks at us and says with a guilty expression. I smile at her. "No worries, I know you were doing it just to keep your job..." I say before smiling, "See ya..." I say to her before swinging off.
