Miraculous Ladybug - One-on-one (CLOSED)

(hey good to see your back!)
he closed his eyes and leaned his head on hers, "Movie and some popcorn?" he asked

(Yeah! Just been super busy and super sick -_-)

"If that's what you want," she replied quietly.

(aw that sucks, hope your feeling better!)
He stood and put some popcorn in the microwave, walking back and handing her the remote

(I hope so too XD)

She quickly gave it back to him. "I don't want to pick."

He glanced at her and sat down "are you sure your alright…?" He clicked the TV on and ran through some channels

"I'm fine," she replied simply, looking at the glimpses of shows he clicked through.

He decided not to respond, not wanting to remind her that he hated the word. Standing, he grabbed the popcorn from the microwave and passed some to her

She only took a few pieces and smiled reassuringly.

He sat down in silence, lost in thought

"Is something wrong?" she asked gently.

he snapped out of thought and shook his head "no love, nothing's wrong." he leaned back and took of his glasses, squeezing his eyes tight

She reached out and touched his arm softly. "If nothing was wrong, you wouldn't be doing that."

He sighed "just tired all of a sudden." He muttered

She frowned a little. "Please don't lie to me."

"it's not a lie, it's just not the whole truth." he said, not opening his eyes

"Then tell me the whole truth," she pleaded, trying not to beg too much.

He opened his eyes and glanced down at her "you first." he muttered softly "tell me the real reason why you're bringing Durru along."

She hesitated. "I was going to… I was going to run an errand later," she answered weakly.

"which include?" he prodded gently, not wanting to overwhelm her, but also not letting her get away from the question

"Why does this matter?" she asked, trying to avoid the answer.

He fell silent and looked away "because it concerns you," he said

"Can't we just watch the movie?" There wasn't even a movie on. Her grip was slipping on whatever hold she had.

He sighed and nodded, trying to find something to watch

She winced. "I'm sorry."

"What for?" he asked, glancing down at her

"I want to have a nice night with you, but I can't without saying something that will ruin it. Like bringing up the miraculous," she answered numbly.

He laced his hand with hers and kissed the back of her hand "I do too," he said "do you know why I'm concerned with you using the miraculous?"

"A bit," she said, absently guiding her thumb over his hand.

"Emilie used it." she said, pain entering his voice. "One time, she was trying something new, something way beyond her understanding and control." he couldn't go on, the pain of the memory was too much "she…lost herslef in it."

"Are you worried that I'm going to be lost too?" she asked him quietly.
