Chapter Text
Fukiya grabbed Ladybug and, with hardly even a grunt, threw Ladybug over her head. Ladybug flipped, flew a few meters away, then landed on the ground.
Ladybug let out a soft gasp, then laid still on the ground.
Fukiya glanced over at the yoyo, which had been recording, then back at Ladybug. “How was that?”
Ladybug raised a hand, giving Fukiya a thumb’s up, then pushed herself back to a stand. “That was great! You can run the details over with Marinette later.”
“Yes, as usual,” Fukiya said. “It’s reassuring that I can have a deeper role in preventing Hawk Moth’s goals.”
Ladybug nodded, dusting herself off. “It’s the little things. Keep Hawk Moth frustrated and he won’t even have time to think about his plans.”
“Of course.” Fukiya paused, then offered Ladybug a smile. ”I’ll admit, I didn’t take you for the type to be cunning in this way.”
“Weeeell…” Ladybug looked around, as if ensuring that no one else would hear her be so playful. She smiled back. “It’s a little fun, knowing that he’s probably panicking over the blog.”
She walked over to her yoyo, then stopped the recording before returning her weapon to her waist. She walked back over to Fukiya, then held a hand out. “Anyway, thanks for all the work you do.”
“It is an honor,” Fukiya reassured, grabbing Ladybug’s hand and giving it a firm shake. “I’ll prepare more techniques to teach later.”
“Same time next week then?” Ladybug asked.
Fukiya nodded. “Same time next week,” she confirmed.
Ladybug waved, then threw her yoyo to a faraway structure and swung off into the distance.
Fukiya, of course, wasn’t aware that she’d actually be seeing Ladybug a lot sooner than next week, given that visits with Marinette quickly followed visits with Ladybug.
Either way, she saw it as a shame to return to her typical life. Ladybug expected nothing of her but herself, and Fukiya appreciated the occasional unpredictability of being a hero.
Though, there were always Kagami’s civilian outings with Marinette. Perhaps she could take comfort in that.
