Summary:

"It's just...when Marinette was telling me why everything happened, I was getting so mad at you. You're mine, and no one gets to take you away from me. And I was so happy you turned her down because of me." Ladybug bit her lip. "But that isn't fair. I'm not yours. I've been telling you all along there's someone else I want, and you have every right to decide that means you're going to find someone else yourself."

"Why would I want someone else?" Chat asked, perplexed.

"Shut up, that's not my point." Ladybug drummed her fingertips on his leg. "If you and I don't agree that we are each other's and no one else's, then I have no right to be so much as mildly annoyed at the thought of you wanting anyone but me. I have no right," she repeated. "I shouldn't be upset! But Marinette was telling this story in the order it happened, and until she got to where you turned her down because of me, I was so mad at you."

Chat ate a macaron so he wouldn't have to answer.

"I shouldn't be mad at you," she said again. "Why was I?"
