Miraculous Ladybug - Team Sleepover for the Heroes (Private for Zack)

[Sarvan]

"Ah ah, you're right! Maybe we should be a little jealous!" Viperion joked about Monkey King's interest in Chat Noir: maybe the brunette hero was a little too daring in his actions but, at the end of it, if he liked so much the blond one then there was nothing wrong with it. The Snake hero wasn't seeing what was so alluring in Chat Noir, but that didn't concern him: right now, he was done cooking his dinner. Grabbing a fork, he turned around holding his spaghetti with meatballs plate and said: "Well, time to eat! I'll wait for you guys!", heading to the main room and his dear armchair.

"Right, right... I'm starving, I've danced too much!" Chat Noir agreed with Monkey King. He called Phénix's attention and, thinking he'd settle things with Byakko, gave him his thumbs-up and, then, followed the other hero back into the kitchen: his pizza was probably ready, by now.

Unfortunately for the Cat hero, Phénix completely misinterpreted his gesture. The Rooster hero sweated hard and did his best to stay still: did... did Chat Noir see what happened in the bathroom? His thumbs-up was referring to what he did watching Byakko? Or to what he didn't, by stopping? Or both of them? Was he approving or disapproving it? Inside his head, Phénix was screaming as doubts were eating him alive. If he'd been spotted, then there was nothing to do about it...

Walking as stiff as a plate, Phénix walked to the kitchen, avoiding eye contact with the leaving Viperion. There, he tried to make himself as small as possible, which honestly wasn't that difficult, so that hopefully the three heroes already there wouldn't notice him, as he started to cook a plate of rice with onions and bacon.

[Zack]

Monkey King and Pegasec preferred to continue eating the pizzas, since they lose a lot of flavor when they are reheated, not to mention that not every night there is a pizza party!

-Cute briefs.- Pegasec jokes to see Chat noir.

Byakko entered the kitchen and noticed that some of the boys were eating different things. The tiger smiles and considering his amount of fur decided to prepare something simple. He put some chicken in water while he starts peeling potatoes and carrots at a good volocity. Byakko then took a knife and he spiked the vegetables in a heartbeat to please them in the water along with the chicken.

The monkey hero was interested. -What are you cooking?-

-Only some vegetables with chicken, although when the chicken is ready I will cut it. In some countries this is called bird salad.- The tiger responds by cutting a tomato.

-Uhhh. I didn't know there were salads that carried meat.- The monkey says before biting his pizza.

[Sarvan]

Chat Noir, once in the kitchen, let out a sigh at Pegasus' remark, but still kept his positive attitude and even said: "Thank you!". The Cat hero then checked his pizza: it was ready, with a beautiful golden crust and bright red center. His eyes sparkled and he let out a loud: "Yum!", licking his lips and already imagining its flavor. Turning off the oven and putting his pizza on a plate, Chat Noir turned and told the other heroes: "Well, enjoy your meals too!".

He then left them, heading back to the main room: there, Viperion had already started eating his spaghetti. When the Snake hero noticed the Cat one joining him, walking more confidently, he smiled and said: "I see you're getting used to... uhm, your new attire. So no more tantrums?".

Biting off a large slice of his pizza, leaving a long cheese tail, Chat Noir chuckled and replied: "Oh, trust me! I mean, I've probably exaggerated a little bit earlier... But now I'm good with it, and don't worry about any more tantrums! We're not babies, after all!", causing both of them to laugh.

Back at the kitchen, when Byakko entered too, Phénix instantly blushed and almost risked burning his rice. Taking long breathes, the Rooster hero managed to calm himself: he couldn't risk letting Byakko know he saw... well, that. So, still as silently as possible, he kept on with his task, slicing the onions while trying to keep the tears to himself.

[Zack]

Byakko's food would take a few minutes so the white tiger starts thinking about what he could do while waiting. He does not want to get away from the kitchen to make sure everything is cooked well, but he also does not want to bother Phenix who seems focused on raising his plate of food. The hero tiger approaches and opens the refrigerator noticing the variety of drinks, he takes a small bottle of milk and serves it in a bowl before starting to drink the white creamy substance.

Pegasec and Monkey King placed a few servings of pizza on a plate and the monkey hero takes him to the living room where they both meet with Chat noir and Viperior, it was good to see that everyone was having a good time. Or at least most.

-Tomorrow we should go somewhere to train?- Pegasec asks remembering that this was a superhero meeting.

-You talk about practicing how to use our powers together? That sounds great!- Monkey King says lively. Using the powers of the miraculous was one of the best parts of being a hero. -Where could we go? The top of the Eiffel tower? Above the Arc de Triomphe? Maybe teleport to the Roman Coliceum?- Although the emotion was taking the best of him.

-It would be better a more... discreet place, with a place to rest out of the sight of others in case we transform ourselves.- The hero says riding his glasses.

[Sarvan]

Phénix was done with his onions and was already stir-frying his rice, with the bacon chops already available by his side. Happy for how nicely golden the rice was turning, and especially because he was still unnoticed by his peers, he let out a sigh of relief and rose his head... what a mistake! In doing so he spotted Byakko drinking his glass of milk: the sight of the White Tiger hero swallowing so happily such a white, smooth drink, with a little droplet running from his lips, after his moans and words in the bathroom, was a little too much for him to handle.

Trying to remain silent, Phénix hid his face again, blushing madly, and did his best to quickly finish his rice. The atmosphere had gotten so heavy and so hot in such a short amount of time, he had to leave as soon as possible!

Back in the other room, the four heroes were still discussing while eating. Viperion had to agree with Pegasus, as he said: "Yeah, I don't think we need to go in such flashy places. Especially because if we're going to train, then we need to keep our movements and attacks a secret!". The risk of Hawk Moth and Mayura was still there, after all.

Devouring another slice of pizza, Chat Noir smiled at all of them: "Come on, guys, you think I would've invited you here if I hadn't thought about that?", shaking his head with a condescending look. "This place has a huge facility underground, as it's used for local and minor sports events: there's everything we need, from large spaces to the equipments, with lockers and everything!" he added, smiling as if he was expecting incoming praise for his idea. To be fair, even if he hadn't thought about it he would've still disagreed with Monkey King: their bet was still on, so going out with his underwear over his suit was out of the question. But his comrades didn't need to know.

[Zack]

Byakko does not notice Phenix and his nerves, he was busy drinking his glass of milk until it was finished and then cleaning the small drop that escaped from the eating of his lips. The tiger hero then returned to control the cooking of his food, which means he is closer to the rooster hero. -You know, I'm surprised how well equipped this place is.- The tiger says to break the silence of the kitchen. -It's as if there was an entire city in a single building ... Do you think the mayor ordered to do it this way for his daughter?- That idea does not sound very crazy considering that the mayor almost collapses the ice skating rink to build a spa for Cloe.

Pegasec is surprised to hear Chat noir. -There really are so many things in this place? It is a lot for a single building, not to mention the construction costs that something like that would require.-

-Well, he has sent garbage into space and even has a system to make the garbage come back, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, so something like this should not matter to him.- Monkey King says downplaying the matter and eating another slice of Pizza. -The important thing is that we have a place to train ... and possibly a pool too!- The monkey hero says excited about the idea of ​​being able to go swimming at any time.

[Sarvan]

"Oh no, he's coming closer!" Phénix thought, panicking as he moved his body as far as possible from Byakko, but because he couldn't leave the frying pan and his food, and had to keep his arms near that, he ended up like he had stopped spinning midway, showing to the other hero his back and his risen butt.

He was desperate to avoid talking together, and almost managed until, from his lips, a whisper came through: "That's not the only thing well equipped...". For a moment, Phénix froze in absolute terror as if the entire world had stopped moving: did he seriously said that? But he only thought it! And just as a coincidence, of course! "... I mean, look at this kitchen! It's so... ehm... f-full of food! And things!" he immediately added, blushing some more and avoiding any eye contact, "I-I know this place is one of the best hypermarkets in Paris, from his size alone it's almost a skyscraper!".

Chat Noir was saying something similar in the other room: "And that's why there are so many facilities! This building was meant to be used in many different ways: you can go shopping in the middle floors, have competitions and events in the lower ones, or meetings and so on over here, in the upper ones. Trust me, I studied carefully were to organize a meeting for six heroes!", even counting the floors with his fingers.

"Woah! You really thought about it, Chat Noir, you're organizing everything like a conductor!" Viperion said, quite impressed by so much research. Then, eating again his spaghetti, he added with a smirk: "Well, except when it comes to winning bets!", getting a growl from the Cat hero as an answer.

"... and that's more or less why this place is so big!" Phénix ended up informing Byakko too. Luckily for him, his food had finished cooking! So finally he could avoid being so... close with Byakko, as he put everything on his plate and said: "Well, I'm going to greet the others!".

[Zack]

-Mh? Did you say something?- Byakko saw Phenix's lips move but couldn't hear what he said. The white tiger blinks confused at the sudden change of attitude of the other hero, but he decided to let it pass. -Oh, yes, it looks like a professional chef's kitchen, the whole building is really impressive.- Byakko agreed and then listened to the rest of Phoenix's explanation.

-I must admit, you are much more planner than I thought.- Monkey King says. Chat noir is usually seen as someone relaxed, even careless, but these kinds of things made it clear because he is the hero of Paris.

When Byakko's meal was ready, he put out the fire and served it on a set and then reunited with all the other heroes in the living room to eat.

Monkey King hits his glass with a spoon to get the attention of others. -A toast to Chat noir, the manager and organizer of all this!-

Pegasec and Byakko smile agreeing with that and drink their drinks. -By Chat noir.- Both say.

[Sarvan]

Phénix had left just a few seconds before Byakko, so when he arrived Monkey King was just complimenting Chat Noir and his plan. He had missed their conversation, so he simply sat down and started eating his rice, finding the taste absolutely fantastic.

Then, once Byakko arrived, thus making all the six heroes being together, the Monkey hero proposed a toast for the host. Phénix immediately grabbed his glass filled with soda and rose it, shouting: "Cheer!" with Viperion, who just did the same.

Watching that in front of his very eyes, Chat Noir rose his chest and almost bathed himself in their cheering. Not only because he liked being the center of attention, as usual, but mainly because he was so happy the first meeting he'd ever organized in years for his friends was such a success. Being alone most of the time, it was a really warm and pleasant feeling.

"Why, why, thank you, you're making me blush!" the blond hero remarked, faking his modesty and raising his glass too. "Besides, a good group leader always takes care of everything for his friends!" he added, finding another way to boast himself while being nice.

Chat Noir then stood up and, smiling warmly, said: "And I propose this toast for the best superhero team one could ever dream of! With you guys around, Hawk Moth's days are numbered!", cheering at every single one of them. It would have been a really solemn and important scene... if it wasn't for his Sylvester and Tweety briefs in plain sight, of course. That was hindering his effort a little bit.

[Zack]

All the boys are having a good time and the words of Chat noir were a great encouragement for all of them. The idea of working together and defeating the greatest villain in Paris with his teamwork is something that fills them with determination.

However with Chat noir with those briefs it was only a matter of second to -I think I've seen a cute kitten.- Monkey King says referring to the briefs Sylvester the Cat and Tweety.

Byakko and Pegasec couldn't help laughing at this.
