Certain Akuma {Cat Noir X Reader}

Close Call

It was just after 10:30 PM and Cat Noir was visiting you, he had just made one of his signature puns and you were laughing at how corny it was.

You pushed him and said "That was really bad, like, even worse than usual!"

"Psh, I never make a bad pun!" he says flipping his short blonde locks.

That only makes you laugh harder.

Until, "Y/n? What are you doing? What's so funny?" your mom asks while knocking on your closed bedroom door.

You and Cat instantly stop laughing and look at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Y/n? Let me in! Why is the door locked?"

You quickly motion for Cat to get in the closet and be very quiet.

He does it as quickly and quietly as possible and as soon as he gets the door shut you let your mother in.

"What's so funny? And why did it take so long for you to open the door? In fact, why was the door even locked?" she immediately starts drilling you.

"Oh, I was just changing, and I didn't want (s/n) (Sibling Name) to come in, if they woke up for some reason, and I guess I forgot to unlock it. Sorry, it won't happen again!" You hate lying to her, but she can't know you've been letting a superhero hang out in your room. A male one at that.

"Ok... but why did it take so long?"

"Oh, I was just covered up in bed, I had lots of blankets and was all tangled up, so it took a minute."

"Hm. Ok. But what was so funny? You're supposed to be quiet while we're asleep!"

"Sorry, it was just a really funny video I saw. I'll be quieter!"

"Ok. Whatever, I'm too tired to continue, goodnight. And keep it down!"

"Ok, I will. Love you!"

"Love you too."

She walks back to bed and shuts your door behind her.

You listen to her footsteps and door closing, signaling the coast is clear.

"Ok, you can come out now."

Cat Noir walks out of the closet, stretching.

"Whew, that's a bit tight,"

"Yeah, well, it's not made for hiding, its made for clothes!"

"I know, I know." he says, laughing.

You just roll your eyes at him.

"Now, where did you learn to come up with excuses so quickly? I could use some tips, having to run off so quickly after akuma's."

"Um, I dunno. They just come to me I guess?"

"I wish they came to me so easily, my excuses are always dumb," he says and you both giggle.

"So why can't your mom know I visit you? Wouldn't she be happy to know that you're friends with a superhero? Like for protection and stuff?"

"Some moms might be, but not mine, she'd be weirded out that I had a friend coming in every night through the balcony! And even worse that it's a guy!"

"But it's not like we'd do anything, you probably like someone, and it's a known fact that I like Ladybug!"

Somehow this makes you a bit sad, but you don't show it.

"I know, but she'd jump to crazy conclusions before a word was said!"

"Ok, I get it. My dad is like that, he's a bit of a controlling parent, but I know he loves me, he just has a weird way of showing it..."

"Aw I'm sorry Kitty, maybe you could talk to him about it?"

"Nah, he's usually busy, he works alot."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

A somewhat awkward silence falls over the two of you so Cat looks at your bedside clock.

"Welp, it's getting late, unless you want some help with that Language work, I should be going." he says, gesturing to the open Language Arts textbook on your bed.

"Oh, I think I got it, there's not much left for tonight. Bye,"

"Bye y/n, I'll see you tomorrow!"

He gives you a quick hug and walks over to the door.

You wave and he does the same.

Smiling, he turns around and flips away."

You smile after him and finish the schoolwork then get ready for bed.

But you can't sleep, because a tidbit of your conversation keeps replaying in your mind.

"You probably like someone, and it's a known fact that I like Ladybug!"

You don't like anyone, much. You used to have a big crush on someone, but it's not as prominent anymore.

And he's right, it is a known fact that he likes Ladybug. Anyone paying attention can see it.

Ladybug doesn't seem to like him though, for some unknown reason.

I wonder why she doesn't like him, he's amazing.

Wait, that sounds like I like him. I definitely don't. Now that I know him, I know how deep his affection is for Ladybug. I do not have a crush on one of my best friends.

You keep telling yourself that anyway.

Eventually the crazy thoughts lull you to sleep.
