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

[Sarvan]

Phénix was really happy Byakko was showing interest in his passion. He nodded his head and smiled, replying: "With pleasure! I'll draw the best moments of this whole weekend!". Orikko was right, someone was enjoying his drawings and abilities! The Rooster hero then, like his fellow heroes, focused on Chat Noir and Monkey King's bizarre behavior. He had heard them talking about some sort of bet before their challenge, but he really didn't care for those things. Now, he thought, was probably the moment Monkey King was going to ransom his win.

What Phénix was not expecting even in a million years, was for Chat Noir wearing a pair of underwear above his clothes. And what a pair! Not only cartoonish briefs but yellow and bright too! It was quite a comical contrast with his black suit, so he couldn't help but chuckle a little. He was doing his best to avoid being disrespectful but even for him, that was going to be quite hard. "Well... that certainly is an artistic combination!" he said, doing his best to not let his voice crack.

Viperion, on the other hand, was split in two. His internal reaction was, like his fellow friends, of hilarity at seeing Paris' best hero wearing a Tom & Jerry pair of briefs, but at the same time, he couldn't forget about what happened with Kim a few hours earlier. So, while the sides of his mouths were trembling in order to not laugh, he commented: "Come on, for a cat hero those underwear aren't... uhm, that bad!", then turning to Pegasus and adding: "And we who thought our bet was reasonable, I guess they topped us!", with a little laugh.

"Grrrr!" Chat Noir roared at the laughs and mocks of the other heroes. He who was their senior, and now their laughing stock! "Shut up!" he shouted, before quickly thinking about what to say in order to justify his tastes in underwear: "It's my kwami, he likes cheese a lot so he picked up these briefs! I don't wear them, normally!".

Shame and anger were boiling inside him as Monkey King kept reminding him of his new situation. Chat Noir snorted and turned to the taller boy, yelling: "Fine! Want a new bet? How about this: if I get to take another round in this challenge and you lose, with me or someone else, then I'll stop wearing my briefs like this and you'll be the one with them in plain sight! And if I don't win again, then I'll keep them! But this time, the loser will have to walk around with a pair of underwear on for the whole weekend!". He was so angry he was willing to risk quite a lot, just so serve his opponent right.

(Don't worry, I was waiting for my next turn to show Phenix and Viperion's reaction! I didn't want to write too much at once and them two times in a row)

[Zack]

-Oh! oh! You mean Plagg, right? Bykker told me a lot about him and his love for cheese! - The tiger says excited to hear about another kwami. -I got stinkier cheese is better for him.-

Monkey King laughs with pride to see how he shames the greatest hero of Paris, he is his companion, but that does not make him less funny! "So you want to spread your shame or just see my underwear." He said feeling he is on tonight. -It sounds a bit unfair that I should win the dance competition, but I accept the challenge in the same way.- Monkey King extends his hand to shake the hand of Chat noir without bothering to get up from the recliner.

The idea of ​​seeing one of his attractive companions walk with the underwear in sight made Byakko's cheeks warm. He curses himself for not having brought a camera! -Phenix, do you think you can draw Chat noir like that? - The tiger asks quietly. This black cat won't like but the tiger really wants something like that!

Pegasec calmed his laughter and wiped away a tear that hid behind his dark glasses before taking his place on the dance floor near Viperior. -I think in the end they involved us in their games, but I'm glad not to be part of the bet! - The horse affirmed while looking for a song to dance.

[Sarvan]

Phénix was still covering his mouth to avoid laughing when Byakko approached him and asked, with a low tone, a drawing of Chat Noir. He looked up and saw the blond hero still bickering with King Monkey, so luckily he didn't hear that strange request.
Turning to Byakko, Phénix noted the White Tiger's face was a little red on the cheeks, so he asked: "Is everything good, Byakko? Are you feeling bad? I know it's not something you see every day...", trying also to joke a little.

Still, drawing Chat Noir in such a... compromising pose? Well, Phénix himself was finding him rather interesting with his briefs on, plus he had to show how good he was at drawing! So that his friends would be impressed! The red-haired hero nodded and said: "Okay, I don't think Chat Noir will like it, but it's only among us... so I guess it's fine!", then he reached his backpack and took out his sketch pad and a black pencil. Looking at Chat Noir with his pencil between his eyes for a moment, Phénix then started to work on the drawing.

"You big ape, we'll see who'll be ashamed at the end of the day!" Chat Noir shouted while shaking hands with Monkey King. The other hero's cocky attitude was really rubbing the Cat hero the wrong way, so he gave a kick at the armchair's lever, forcing it to recline all the way down thus making Monkey King basically fall back on the floor.
Chat Noir then walked away, trying his best to ignore the other heroes' remarks, and sat on the couch. He would've had to endure that humiliation only for a little more: his score was quite high, so he would probably move to the semifinals again, win there and then face Monkey King again! This time, to win! "Yeah, just move on..." he mumbled to himself. Still, why were Phénix and Byakko staring at him like that?

Back at the dance competition, Viperion and Pegasus were taking their positions again after such a... colorful event. The Snake hero laughed with the Horse one, remarking: "You can say that again! Still, now let's focus on our challenge, their little bickering doesn't really concern us!".

[Zack]

-I? Yes, yes, it's just that ... I think I went into heat to laugh so much.- The tiger said scratching his neck trying to hide his blush, something difficult with white fur. -I just say, this is something quite funny and we may not see it again, it would be nice to have a drawing of this and laugh a little later.- Byakko invented to justify his request for the drawing.

When Phenix agreed to make the drawing without further questions, it was a relief for the white tiger. Maybe the drawing is as good as a picture and Shiro can use it to ... get inspired.

Monkey King was surprised by what Chat noir did, the fall meant nothing, even without his super suit Kim would surely have been fine. Monkey King has split feelings right now. On the one hand he feels bad for making the hero so angry that he is generally most tolerant. (He even supports Chloe and maybe he is the only one.) On the other hand, seeing the black cat flushed and walking around with his briefs is a pretty attractive sight.

Pegasec nodded to Viperior's words and selected a song before taking his place as a player.

An electronic music began to play and the dance began. Pegasec's movements are correct with the game but they were not very fluid, one could say that he moves mechanically with the electronic music he selected.

Max is not good at this kind of games but his memory certainly helps him score points at the start of the game.

[Sarvan]

"Yeah, I agree with you! We'll all laugh at this in the future, thinking about the fun we had" Phénix agreed with Biakko, his hand swiftly moving on the piece of paper. He had already drawn Chat Noir in his comics before, but he had never done so in such an... exposing attire, with his briefs on. That was a nice new approach to his drawings, and Phénix himself was liking it. He was going with the same embarrassed pose Chat Noir took when he had put on his underwear and, after the rough body figure, was now focusing on the details and expressions of the face, making sure to show how much the Cat hero had blushed. "I hope you'll like it, Byakko!" he cheered.

When the electronic music started, Viperion was surprised by the choice as he wasn't exactly an expert of the genre, having listened to it very little: unlike Pegasus, his steps at the start of the game were quite insecure and he missed some notes.

"Damn it, it's way harder it looked with them..." Viperion remarked after a couple of errors in a row. On the other hand, the more he grew accustomed to the sound the better his movements became, progressively making it easy for him to follow the screen instructions. Also, maybe it was because of his Snake Miraculous, but his movements were very fluid and graceful, allowing him to reproduce even the more complex ones of the next part of the song. Steadily, he was distancing himself from Pegasus' score and getting a certain lead.

Back on the sofa, Chat Noir smiled. The two of them weren't as good as him or Monkey King, although they were clearly trying their best and putting up a nice fight.

[Zack]

Byakko was not sure where to look, on the one hand were the heroes dancing with electronic music and on the other hand is Phenix drawing with a speed and skill that surprised the white tiger. -You are amazing! It takes me several minutes to draw a silhouette that resembles a human. But I can see the shame of Chat noir in your drawing! - The tiger praised the rooster when he saw his talent. Although something seemed familiar with his way of drawing ... Maybe he publishes his drawings on the internet, yes, that should be.

Pegasec was taken by surprise at how quickly Viperior adapted to music and dance steps. The snake soon reached the horse in points and then began to overcome it.

When the music ended, the screen lit up in bright colors showing the scores of both teenagers.

Pegasec: 63
Viperior: 76

-Incredible adaptation. Congratulations.- The dark-haired boy said accepting his defeat and congratulating the blue-haired boy.

-Ughh ... After so many good dancers ... now I must dance ...- Byakko says knowing how this was going to end, but he tried to do his best not to be a disaster ... or at least not break anything in the process.

[Sarvan]

Phénix blushed a little hearing Byakko's compliments, he was always so happy when people liked his art and, luckily for him, his already orange mask was hiding it a little. "Thanks! But it's not really anything amazing, just a quick sketch... I'll draw even better scenes!" Phénix said, as his hand was now creating the outfit on Chat Noir, already putting the lines of his briefs on his suit.

Once again, the music reached its end and on the screen, the final results were announced with fireworks. As he saw his score of 76 in bight gold, Viperion rolled his arm as if he was making a guitar solo and shouted: "Oh yeah!".
Still, the effort took quite a toll on him, as his heavy breathing was showing. The Snake hero swiped his arm on his forehead before, turning to his opponent, reaching out with his hand for a friendly shake: "You picked up quite a challenging song! I'd love to challenge you again, I had a lot of fun!".

With even the second round gone, it was now time for the third, meaning Phénix and Byakko. The Rooster hero stopped his drawing right after the Tom & Jerry logo, and nodded to the White Tiger one: "Uff, seems like it's up to us now. I'll finish this later, there's just a couple of things left...".

He put the sketch pad and the pencil down and headed with his opponent to the dance carpets, telling him: "Don't worry, you saw how fun it is! Plus, I'm only good at improvisation, as I don't have the skills of a Monkey King or the reaction of a Viperion... So let's just enjoy it!". He was trying to encourage his new friend but, at the same, himself too. The other times he had danced he was among other people, so let's say a little hidden: now, everyone would've seen him. And of course, his stage fright was still something he had to deal with.

As he took his position, the player had already automatically selected the next song and was just waiting for their command. "When you're ready, Byakko!" Phénix declared.

[Zack]

Pegasec takes Viperior's hand before heading to the snack table for a soda. Moving the body in this way made the horse sweat. Maybe a visit to the bathtub before going to sleep in a few hours is a good idea.

-O-ok.- Byakko said something tense before the song began.

The dance steps of the white tiger were ... hard to see. His feet fall to the ground as if he were stomping, his arms barely move making the tiger look even weirder. Byakko's gaze travels between the screen and his feet trying to follow the indications. His tail even hit the TV's remote control and Monkey King had to catch him so he wouldn't hit the wall.

Pegasec looked away somewhat uncomfortably from Byakko's way of dancing. On the other hand, Phenix dance attracts attention in a good way.

[Sarvan]

With their turn done Viperion too followed the Horse hero back at the snack table and grabbed a small drink to refresh himself. He was going to compete against Monkey King in the semifinals after all so, even though the difference between their two scores was already quite high, he at least wanted to be in his best shape. As he leaned against the table, he too looked at the third round.

And oh dear, what a show. Byakko's movements were... well, movements, but not exactly what someone would've called dance. And by the time he was following the screen indications, he was already a little out of time. Still, the White Tiger said numerous times he had never danced before, so Viperion cried: "Keep going, Byakko! Follow the music!", in encouragement to the poor hero.

On the other side, Phénix was still keeping a good balance with his movements and his timing. One of the best things about stage fright is that once you are thrown on the stage, the adrenaline quickly makes you forget about your fears and just focus on what he was doing. The Rooster hero was following the game better than his original fears had pictured, although of course with mistakes on the way. As he danced, also, his feathers tail gave quite a nice waving effect and making his movements ever more graceful.

As the two boys kept dancing to the best of their abilities, the music finally reached its end. And so their final scores appeared on the screen:

Phénix: 70
Byakko: 23

[Zack]

Byakko rests his hands on his knees while hunching his body and breathing heavily. -Ahh ... 23? ... is my ... best score ...- The tiger said before sitting on the floor.

-Byakko, friend, as a friend I tell you this: Stay with the fighting.- Monkey King says after seeing the white cat fall after that attempt to dance.

Pegasec did not comment but nodded silently agreeing with the monkey.

-I have more skills that are useful for life! - Byakko affirmed trying to defend his honor. - Tomorrow for breakfast you will see it! -

-Chinese food for breakfast? Sounds delicious! - Monkey King said stroking his stomach while imagining the food.
