Summary:

"Are you sure?" Chat Noir scoots a little closer. Ladybug can feel his body heat. "You look pretty upset. Seemed pretty upset yesterday afternoon, too," he adds. "Might have won that tournament faster if you weren't so upset going in."

"Stop bringing logic into this."

Chat shrugs, a gesture Ladybug feels more than sees. "All right then. I'd still rather know what it is than not. Or at least know what I can do to help you."

I'm giving you some extra time.

I trust you to bring me back.

"You should trust me less."

Chat stiffens beside her. "What?"

—She didn't mean to say that.

It's true, though. It's not like I'll take a coleslaw home or I'm organizing a school-wide macaron tasting or I'm in love with you, where she regrets saying it as soon as she knows she's said it, but she has to stand by it or be proved a liar. It's true. The only thing wrong with it is that Chat Noir doesn't want to believe it.

"You said you trust me to bring you back," she reminds him. "You should trust me less."

Chat stares at her, stricken.

"I'm sorry," she mumbles. "I can't be good enough."
