it’s them (again)

Written for @ladynoirjuly days 15 and 16!

Summary: Tikki and Plagg work at the cafe at the end of the world, where mortal souls rest and recharge for their next life with a magical drink made by the baristas. Here, souls can meet and decide to be soulmates, ordering their lives together at the counter, and one day, Plagg and Tikki's favorite mortal couple walks in. As cute as they are, their soulmate status is no guarantee since mortals never remember their past lives, but Ladybug and Chat Noir may have a bond like no other…

You can read the fic on AO3 (as a registered user) or below!

It was a quiet day at the cafe. The scent of fresh-baked brioches and cookies filled the air as a few patrons chatted in soft voices while sitting at the aquamarine booths filling the large expanses of the store.

Tikki was rinsing out one of the metal pitchers, humming a song to herself as she worked, when Plagg's urgent whisper reached her ear.

"It's those two again," he hissed, and Tikki looked up.

"Do you mean those two soulmates you're obsessed with are here?"

Plagg spluttered at Tikki's comment, and his face was completely red by the time Tikki nonchalantly turned around.

"I'm not obsessed with them," he insisted. "You're pretty interested in them, yourself, if I remember. You couldn't keep from cooing over them last time."

"Well, you can hardly blame me," Tikki responded, walking over to the shelf to replace the cup she'd washed. "They don't even know how adorable they are! It's so rewarding to watch them fall in love with each other again and again. They choose each other every time."

Plagg's expression softened, though it was only obvious to Tikki, who knew him well enough to read his every expression, no matter how inexpressive. She smiled in turn, wiping her damp hands off on her apron before asking, "Now, where are our favorite soulmates?"

"They're not soulmates yet," Plagg automatically responded. "They just got here, you know. They'll need some time to process before they decide."

"Of course," Tikki responded smoothly. "But we both know — or we hope we do — who they will decide on."

Plagg grunted. "Every time a human dies, their memory gets wiped, Tikki. You know that. Their souls arrive here, not their old body or their brains. We let them take on the appearance they had in their first life, just so there's something familiar, but they don't remember anything from Earth. All they know is what the soul guides told them when they were summoned — when they died. The usual spiel, you know; reincarnation is real, but you stay at this cafe and relax for a while before getting tossed into your next body. While you're here, you can pick a soulmate for your upcoming life. Meet as many people as you can, figure out who you want or if you'd rather go without a soulmate at all. When you're ready, tell the baristas" —Here Plagg motioned back and forth between himself and Tikki, an unneeded gesture that Tikki had to smile at— "Tell 'em who you choose, and get sent back to Earth for round the umpteenth or whatever."

"I know how the human life cycle works, Plagg," Tikki said, hiding a laugh in her voice.

Plagg rolled his eyes and huffed. "Yeah, yeah. My point is, they don't know they know each other, Tikki. I know we love it when they pick each other, but there's never any guarantee."

"Hmm. That's true enough, but over the history of humanity, they're the only two who've chosen each other every time, in each new life. When they die at different ages, one waits here for the other's soul to arrive, as if they're still connected by the same bond after they pass."

"That's impossible," Plagg countered. "Here, everyone is free of the ties they had on Earth."

"But once those two meet each other at our cafe, they always choose one another. Romantically or platonically, they always choose to be bonded in life. So, we send their souls to be born at the same time—"

"Roughly the same time," Plagg corrected. "Imperfect world, imperfect timing. Once they were a whole decade apart, age-wise."

"True," Tikki admitted with a wince. "But they've never lived a single life without each other. They complement each other perfectly, and make sure their time on Earth is fuller than it would have been, if it was spent with someone else."

Plagg nodded, looking away, past Tikki. She followed his gaze until she found the two lovers they'd been talking about. They were standing in the courtyard, blushing and smiling as they talked about something she couldn't hear from behind the main counter. The boy said something to the girl, and she paused in shock for a moment before giggling helplessly and playfully pushing him back a step.

"They are a perfect match for each other," Plagg said at last. "I'll admit I even try to make sure they don't have to wait long until they meet, back on Earth."

"You put a little extra whipped topping on their drinks," Tikki nodded. "I pretend that I don't see it." After a moment, she added, "I add a little extra sugar to their orders. I just want them to be happy, that's all! I— I'd do it for everyone if we had enough sugar!"

Plagg's lips stretched in a lazy smirk, and he looked back at Tikki. "You love them as much as I do."

Tikki smiled back at him. "We see too much of ourselves in them not to."

For a while, they stood there in amiable silence, watching their favorite soulmates stumble through the first meeting they could recall.

Already, the girl was blushing and the boy was looking at her with stars in his eyes. Whatever drew them to choose each other, it had worked like a charm, as it did every time. Plagg and Tikki could tell that they were already close to making their decision, just like they had the last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, stretching back for millennia.

Sure enough, before much more time could pass, the newly formed couple headed inside the cafe at the end of the world, hand in hand.

Tikki’s heart melted at the sight of the shy, but confident smiles on the pair’s faces, and Plagg let out an approving hum.

“It’s just as cute as it was the first time,” Tikki commented, and Plagg didn’t need to respond for her to know he agreed. Instead, he quickly manned the counter, ready to talk to the cafe’s newest customers and take their order.

“H-hello,” the girl stuttered out once she and her partner reached the counter. “Is this where we order? Um, soulmates, that is, not just coffee?”

“Unless there’s another cafe you’ve seen around here,” Plagg said snarkily. Tikki rolled her eyes and lightly slapped his arm as she stepped forward.

“What my partner meant to say is yes,” she said firmly. “You’re at the right place. What can we do for you?”

“We’re here to pick our soulmate in the next life,” the boy said, looking at the girl beside him for confirmation. She smiled and squeezed his hand in hers reassuringly. He visibly relaxed and beamed as he smiled back at her.

“Awwww,” Tikki cooed, dropping her head into her hands as practically melted onto the counter. A happy grin glued itself to her face, and the couple in front of her blushed at the attention.

“Let me guess, you’re picking each other,” Plagg said in a bored voice. Tikki knew the excitement it was hiding, or she’d have swatted him again for his attitude.

“Yeck,” the girl squeaked, and blushed harder. “Wait, no, I meant yes! We are, and so we’re ready for the next step to rebirth.”

“Mm-hm,” the boy agreed, leaning his head on top of hers. “And for some reason, that’s getting a coffee, right?”

“Caffeine is the best way to prepare your soul for an unforgiving round of mortal life,” Plagg said plainly as he prepared two large takeaway cups for the couple. “What names should I put on these for you?”

The pair of soulmates jumped, evidently having not prepared for this. 

“Uh,” the girl said, and the boy similarly muttered, “Um.”

Plagg and Tikki exchanged mirthful glances. This was another one of their favorite parts at their job. Human souls never remembered their names, from the first or most recent life. However, some souls, these two in particular, gravitated towards the same names, over and over.

“I’ll be— Ladybug, I guess,” the girl stammered.

“Call me Chat Noir,” the boy said with a grin. “Pleased to make your acquaintance, my lady!” 

With a flourish, he bent and raised Ladybug’s hand to his lips. She blushed helplessly and grinned at her new soulmate.

“You too,” she managed to squeak out.

“All right, then, two large passion-strawberry frappes with whipped cream and white chocolate shaving. Try not to get cavities,” Plagg said as he slid their order across the counter.

“That would be hard since we don’t have actual bodies yet,” Chat Noir commented as he handed Ladybug her drink and took a sip of his. On tasting it, he did a double take, staring at the drink with huge eyes. “Woah! Will all mortal drinks taste this good, or is it just at this cafe?”

“A bit of both, I think,” Tikki said, still resting her head on one hand as she happily stared at her favorite soulmates. 

“Come on, Tiks, you know my drinks are the best in the universe,” Plagg complained. “Mortal drinks might taste almost as good if you’re the ones to make them for each other, though,” he added.

“What he means is, the secret ingredient is love,” Tikki whispered conspiratorially. “Especially once you get to Earth.” 

“I’ll remember that,” Chat Noir said, smiling at her. “Or I’ll try, anyway. Hey, Ladybug, what do you think of the drink? Do you like it?” he asked, sounding a little anxious.

The soul guide who’d led him must have let it slip that the drinks were only as good as the relationship and life they heralded. Now Chat Noir must be worried that his partner wouldn’t like being with him as much as he’d like being with her, Tikki realized.

Ladybug, who’d been sipping her drink, paused to give Chat Noir a smile. “It’s really good,” she said happily. “If it’s really like the soul guides said, then I’m excited to find out what makes my next life as good as this drink. Though I might already have a guess,” she tacked on shyly. 

Chat Noir blushed as he smiled at Ladybug. “I have a similar feeling,” he sighed. “I can’t wait to start my new life with you.”

“That’s exactly what you said last time,” Plagg remarked, half conscious of what he was saying.

Ladybug squinted. “What did you say?”

Plagg straightened. “Oh! Well, it’s just, last time, you guys chose each other, too, and he said the same thing. That’s all,” he said with a shrug.

Tikki resisted the urge to facepalm.

“We chose each other last time, too?” Chat Noir asked curiously. “Wait, do you know if our lives were good together? Are there any tips we should know for this life, to make it even better?”

Plagg faltered, so Tikki spoke up. “We don’t know most of what happens on Earth,” she explained gently. “We can only spare so much time to peek down at the mortal world. It’s a busy job here, you know?” At Ladybug and Chat’s falling faces, she quickly added, “But from what I know, you were very happy together. You know, you choose each other every time you can,” she blurted out.

“What? You mean we’ve, wait, how many times have we picked each other?” Ladybug asked.

Tikki crossed her arms. “I’m not allowed to say, technically. But it happens often enough that we started recognizing you. You’re my favorite soulmate pair!” she squealed. “You’re always so cute together! Plagg agrees, don’t you, Plagg?”

Plagg took off his glove and scratched his head. “It does make me happy to see you’re still happy with each other,” he admitted. “I’m not really one for all that mushy stuff, though. That’s more Tikki’s thing.”

“But you do think we’re good for each other?” Chat Noir pressed. “It’s not a mistake to keep choosing each other, is it? Not that I think it is!” he quickly added as his face twisted up. “But is it common to pick the same soulmate repeatedly? Are we supposed to branch out, work with new people? Are we doing this wrong, or right?”

“There’s nothing wrong with picking the same partner,” Plagg said emphatically. “It’s not your fault it’s so rare. Most mortals are just less well suited to each other, or get separated on the way here, or something. The universe just seems to like you.”

“Almost as much as you must like each other,” Tikki added with a wink. “Nothing this cute could ever be against the rules. I wouldn’t mind seeing it happen more often!”

Ladybug, blushing furiously, took another sip of her coffee. Tikki noticed she was still holding Chat Noir’s hand, like she’d been doing ever since they both got their frappes. It was really like they were always being pulled together, she noted. Or choosing to be. Maybe both.

“So, when do our next lives start, then?” Chat Noir asked after a while. “As soon as we finish drinking, or a little after?”

“It all depends,” Plagg said. “Keep an eye out for soul guides. They’re the ones that give the signal. The coffee’s just the fuel, not the thing that kickstarts your next life.”

“In the meantime, you can take your drinks anywhere to enjoy them,” Tikki said. “Inside at a table, or outside, by the beach or at the soul station. It’s fun to watch the newest souls arrive, if you ask me.”

Chat Noir and Ladybug exchanged glances and whispered to each other for a moment.

“Okay, we’ll head outside then!” Chat Noir said cheerily. “Thanks for all your help! See you next time around.”

“Enjoy your evening,” Ladybug said with a wave, and even Plagg couldn’t find the heart to tell her evening wasn’t really a thing at the end of the world. The sky was just like that.

“Have fun, kids,” he said, and watched as they exited the cafe.

“They’ll be back soon,” Tikki said, and Plagg realized he was frowning. She rubbed his back and gave him a smile.

“Yeah, you’re right,” he said, dusting off his spotless apron. “With how helpless mortals are, they’ll probably be back before we make another billion lattes. Ridiculous.”

“I bet it’s two billion,” Tikki said as she started restocking the straws. “And you’ll be the one looking for them when they show up. Since you always miss them so much,” she teased.

Plagg rolled his eyes half-heartedly. “Ah, you miss them too,” he huffed. “At least I’m willing to admit they might not always pick each other.”

“But they will,” Tikki insisted. “Ladybug and Chat Noir always choose each other. They’re the perfect soulmates.”

Plagg looked off in the distance as a smile curved his lips upwards. “Yeah,” he agreed contently. “They really are.”

Drabble #30 for @ladynoirjuly.

“My lady… would you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend?”

Ladybug’s heart rate tripled. Every part of her screamed ‘say yes,’ but she made herself pause. “We’ve tried dating before, Chaton. As Marinette and Chat Noir, as Marinette and Adrien, and as… as Ladybug and Chat Noir. It always ends terribly.”

The last one had been particularly disastrous, straining their partnership and nearly getting both of them akumatized.

Chat swallowed. “I know. But it’s different now — we don’t have to keep our identities secret.” He squeezed her hand. “One last chance?”

She squeezed back. “Okay. One last chance.”

LB: Trusting you with my life and trusting you to not feed me floor candy are two very different things.

CN: And yet, when I rip this mentos from my heart and offer it to you, I am met with HOSTILITY and SUSPICION. Can Paris survive such discord between its protectors?

LB: OH MY TIKKI - Fine, just hand it over.

CN: No

LB: What - Why?

CN: You’re not being sincere…

LB: Dear Chat Noir, please forgive me for my distrust of you and your mentos - it will be my greatest honor to accept your generous gift. I hope that this will be enough to repair the profound damage my words have dealt to our partnership.

CN: Oh Bugaboo! I furtive mew! Our partnership has been saved!

“Chat Noir?” Ladybug’s voice was unusually high pitched. She cleared her throat and continued in a more normal voice. “We’ve been partners for a long time, haven’t we? As superheroes, then romantically.”

“Yeah?” he replied, not sure where she was going with this.

“Would— Would you like to be partners for life?” she blurted.

As his brain struggled to compute, she got down on one knee. “Chat Noir… Adrien. You are the bravest, kindest, most wonderful person I’ve ever met. I love you more than anything. Will you marry me?”

Overcome with emotion, he could only manage one word. “Yes!”
