Chapter Text
It was Chat Noir’s idea. After one of the Akuma fights where one of them was found alone, waiting desperately for their partner to realize that the attack was over, Chat had suggested to Ladybug that they exchange phone numbers just in case of emergency. Already ahead of his Lady’s (logical) protests, he proposed another alternative: use a messenger app or a private chat with each other, so they could communicate with each other even without an Akuma attack. The Internet guaranteed them anonymity which Ladybug wanted so badly, even when they weren't in suit. She considered it, and much to the joy of Chat Noir, she finally accepted the offer.
The young boy was very committed to the job, and the next time he saw her, it was with a lot more puns that the hero gloriously announced to his partner the creation of a private chat that they could contact each other through with their computers or phones.

ChatNoir: Good evening my Lady
Ladybug: Hey Chat
Ladybug: Is it an attack?
ChatNoir: No no, I just wanted to wish you a good evening :)
Ladybug: Chat…
Ladybug: I agreed to this so we could contact each other ONLY in the event of an attack

ChatNoir: Huh?
ChatNoir: Oh :)
*ChatNoir is typing*
ChatNoir: That’s good! :D I was scared (I would like to point out that my fear was legitimate because normally when someone hits you on the head with a yo-yo it does not mean they are very pleased with you :p) but I assure you i didn't mean to
ChatNoir: I didn't REALLY see the fountain when I pushed you
ChatNoir: Someone made it appear while I wasn’t looking! :’(
ChatNoir: Or maybe it’s a conspiracy of magical fountains! :’(
*Ladybug is typing*
Ladybug: My keyboard doesn’t appreciate that, I just spilled tea all over it from laughing
ChatNoir: Meowch

ChatNoir: Did you dry your hair when you got home? :o
Ladybug: Chat… I’m not made of sugar, I’ll get over it
ChatNoir: But you might catch a cold!
Ladybug: Don’t worry about that
ChatNoir: But I’m the one who made you fall in the fountain
ChatNoir: I don't want you to get sick because of me :’(
ChatNoir: And I have the right to worry about you as much as I want, it’s my job!
Ladybug: I thought your job was to save Paris?
ChatNoir: They go hand in hand, My Lady ;)
ChatNoir: Looking out for your well-being is one of my most important jobs
ChatNoir: I’m not going to be felin-exible from here on out >:3
Ladybug...
ChatNoir: >:3
Ladybug: You’re truly ridiculous
ChatNoir: That’s part of my charm, My Lady ;)
Ladybug: Sure...
ChatNoir: Ouch! What a lack of enthusiasm!
Ladybug: Just admit that’s what you’re looking for;)
ChatNoir: Not at all! I disagree with you wholeheartedly :o
Ladybug: :)

ChatNoir: Nothing TOO personal!
ChatNoir: No hints about who I am, I swear!
Ladybug: Permission granted
Ladybug: And Chat?
ChatNoir: Yes?
Ladybug: I know that I’m strict when it comes to our secret identities
Ladybug: But you’re my partner
Ladybug: And one of my best friends
Ladybug: If something is wrong, I’ll listen to you
*ChatNoir is typing*
*ChatNoir is typing*
ChatNoir: I don’t know how to respond
*ChatNoir is typing*
ChatNoir: Thank you
*ChatNoir is typing*
ChatNoir: Actually, tonight I got in a fight with someone in my family
ChatNoir: Our relationship wasn't that great to begin with
ChatNoir: Suddenly I had no energy
ChatNoir: And I thought maybe to talk a little with someone would change my mind
ChatNoir: Sorry to bother you with that
ChatNoir: I didn’t know who else to turn to
ChatNoir: My best friend isn't available this weekend and I can't exactly say that Plagg would be much help… ^^’
Ladybug: Plagg?
ChatNoir: My kwami :)
Ladybug: He’s that terrible? :o
ChatNoir: No :)
ChatNoir: It’s mostly just difficult to get his attention if you’re not a piece of Camembert! ^^
ChatNoir: That cheese is the love of his life x)
Ladybug: Haha! x)
ChatNoir: Personally I find that hard enough to live with, but you never know when the smell will get into your clothes forever :o
ChatNoir: While we’re on the subject
ChatNoir: I’m still going to ask
ChatNoir: What does your kwami look like?
Ladybug: Tikki?
Ladybug: She’s red
Ladybug: Has black spots :)
ChatNoir: That makes sense :)
Ladybug: And Plagg?
ChatNoir: All black, with green eyes and cat ears :3
Ladybug: Just like you! :o
ChatNoir: Exactly! I mean, except he doesn’t make puns ;)
Ladybug: I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing ;)
ChatNoir: You’re so cruel, My Lady
Ladybug: Be strong, chaton :)
Ladybug: You’ll be fine
ChatNoir: My Lady?
Ladybug: Yes?
ChatNoir: On a more serious note, thank you
*ChatNoir is typing*
ChatNoir: It did me some good to talk to you
ChatNoir: My energy has returned :)
Ladybug: :)
*ChatNoir is typing*
ChatNoir: Without that I definitely would’ve stayed the whole evening rolled in a ball in a corner of my room, listening to Jagged Stone on loop
Ladybug: You like Jagged Stone?
ChatNoir: I love him!! *^* I’m a huge fan!! :D
Ladybug: Me too!
ChatNoir: *0*

Ladybug: Haha xD
Ladybug: That’s impossible, chaton
Ladybug: I know the people who I was next to and there was no chance you were one of them ;)
ChatNoir: That’s too bad, I liked the idea :)
Ladybug: I imagine so :D
ChatNoir: >:3
*ChatNoir is typing*
ChatNoir: It’s getting really late, My Lady, I’m not going to bother you from getting sleep any longer
ChatNoir: But thank you
ChatNoir: Really :)
ChatNoir: I didn't know when to tell you but it really made me feel better to talk to you
ChatNoir: Thank you
Ladybug: Don’t mention it :)
Ladybug: Feeling better?
ChatNoir: Like a cat back on its paws!
*ChatNoir is typing*
ChatNoir: I’d even say like a cat back on its paws after doing a backwards flip
ChatNoir: And some twists
ChatNoir: And another flip
ChatNoir: A classy cat, y’know
Ladybug: Yeah, you’re feeling better xD
ChatNoir: >:3
ChatNoir: Good night, My Lady
