AU where Adrien sees the pain of the real world.

Adrien Meets Agony- High Road Obliviated.

Adrien sits down in class, bored. Then Marinette and Chloe walk in together, giggling like the BFFs they are. The whole class with the exception of Ayla and Nino glare at them like hardened criminals. Adrien joins in for the fun of it, but Marinette and Chloe shoot one look at him and burst out laughing. What? He thinks, confused. His face must look really ridiculous, because they laugh harder.

“Hey!” Bustier says, clapping her hands. “Sit down. That is no way to act to your classmates.” This tidbit from her makes them laugh harder. Wiping their eyes, they sit down next to each other, still giggling.

Lila slides in next to him and immediately clings to his arm. She rests her head on his shoulder, and he kisses it. He inwardly wretches at putting his precious lips anywhere NEAR that stinky sausage hair. But in order to keep Lila happy… it was for the greater good, really. Marinette should have seen that, and now Lila understandably spreader nasty rumors and vicious lies about Marinette bullying her in order to turn the class against her in an effort to simply make Marinette so sad and miserable she shut down and stopped fighting. What was so bad about that? Honestly, he was practically the smartest guy in Paris for taking the High Road.

He starts to pay attention when a dark, handsome boy with forest green eyes walks in and introduces himself. “Hi. I’m Damian. I’m from Gotham and I transferred here.” He takes a seat across from Adrien and in front of Marinette. Adriens eyes travel to the bluenette, who is staring deep into this Damian kids eyes. Adrien doesn’t know what to think, until a slip of paper gently glides down and lands on his desk. He opens it. ‘Hey, Adrihon, wanna do for a walk tonight. Bring an umbrella, it’s gonna rain and our first kiss can be under the rain -Your love bug, Lila.’ There was a big fat smooch mark on the paper. Adrien tried not to throw up. He wished he could do that with Marinette, but you know, Lila’s pleasure was more important than anything.

He reminded himself it was for the best when he saw Damian handing Marinette a slip of paper. He couldn’t help but notice Marinette blush furiously when her hands brushed Damian’s. His heart stopped(I wish) when Marinette gave Damian the special look, the one that was meant for Adrien! Ok, that was IT. Adrien Agreste needed at least two girls who actually had a shot fighting over him, and when Chloe was done with him nobley defending Lila and kicked him in the crotch, he decided maybe he should hang back. Take the high road. Of course, this strategy would never work when Adriens feelings REALLY were involved. This Damian was goin down.

*Time skip to this evening*

Adrien is on his way to Lila’s, praying those gray clouds with the promise of a storm would hold. He brought an umbrella, to cater to Lila’s whims. He rings on the doorbell and sees Lila wearing an extremely showy dress. “Adrien!” Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard, a constant screeching reminder of the high road. “ I am SO excited for are first date! EEEE!! So excited, my bestie Audrey Bougoire hand knitted me this dress for free! Clara Nightingale said she desperately wished she could join us, but she’s at a concert in Hollywood, where I meet so many of my best friends!” Ha. Lila didn’t even bother to check her lies. Clara wasn’t at a concert in Hollywood, she literally just had a meeting with his father. They start to walk on, and while Lila chatters on an ON about her celebrity friends and how she’ll get them an a live date TV show next time, the rain starts to really come down.

“Ooooooo!” Lila says, jumping up and down. “Rain! Kiss me, kiss me, Adrihon!” Adrien grudgingly leaned over, but out of the corner of his eye…

Marinette stood in the rain. Damian was right beside her, and she felt something knot together in the universe, something click together, like it was always meant to be and it always would and suddenly the world was full of bubbles and glitter and baby blue and light pink and sunshine, because, exactly ten hours after meeting, after just seeing each other, Damian Wayne leans over and kisses her. She breaks the kiss and grins, leaning in to a solid wall of comforting muscle.

“Shall we head to the cafe? My treat!” Damian smiled down at her. He holds the umbrella with ease as a strong gust of wind rips in.

“We shall.” Marinette responded with fake majesticness. She swirled her dress, which was a gorgeous floor length gown, light pink at the top slowly fading to silver at the very bottom. It was beautiful, especially for a summer dress. She had a gold bracelet and corresponding gold necklace.

And arm in arm, they walked over to the Sweet Treats cafe.

Adrien stared in jealousy as his lips brushed Lila’s, half not knowing if she would ever let go, half knowing he had to. Then the strong gust of wind jerked the umbrella out of his hand, knocking him away from Lila. The rain poured in relentlessly, and within moments his best suit was drenched. He called his body guard, and he came and picked him up. When Adrien arrived home, he was shivering and soaked to the bone. He went up to his room, took an extra hot shower, relaxed on his 30000 dollar couch under huge fluffy blankets. He called out Plagg to talk to him and be his moral conscience.

“Oh, why does my life have to suck so much?” Adrien whined to Plagg, who shot a disdainful look at… everything. The gourmet, delicious, best chef made, platter of scrumptious Bess, the huge fluffy blankets, the arcade, the view… there was no stopping. The only thing Adrien Agreste didn’t have was a life.

“I just don’t know.” Plagg responded cooly. “I mean, what kind of a father gives his son that cheap of a couch! 30000 bucks! Honestly, he just couldn’t care less.”

“I know, right?” Adrien exclaimed, too oblivious to know that was called sarcasm. “You know what? Imma go talk to Ladybug, and she’ll go out with me to make me feel better, won’t she? She has to, right? Yeah. And then I’ll kiss her, and she’ll be so enchanted by me and entranced, she’ll never take her eyes off me, and I’ll know her identity, and love will be on track. Perfect!”

Plagg is so horrified by the sheer evil of this plan, he just… he doesn’t. He literally can’t find any words, and the ones he did find… well, let’s just say I’d rather not repeat them. As he’s sucked into the ring, he wonders whether he could cataclysm the rings owner from inside the ring. But then… something pops up in his head. The guardians book- the knowledge that had already been stored inside his brain- The Ring Spirit of Plagg smirks as he remembers.

Hawk Moth has sent out an Akuma. The akuma is called First Date, and he is a monster that makes people he hit with his beams act like it’s the first time they’ve ever done something, or makes them completely mess up and say the wrong thing. The more confessions someone has to make, the bigger they grow, until they’re the center of attention for the whole world to see. Chat Noir meets LB on a rooftop, surveying the villain. He kisses her hand, hardly reacting when she pulls back with a snap.

“Stop!” She yells.

He pouts. “Milady, what have I done to deserve that tone?”

“Too many things!” She shouts. “ Figure it out! I AM DATING SOMEONE, SO ACCEPT THAT OR I WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR MIRACULOUS!”

“Whoa whoa whoa! What did I DO?” He cries, getting defensive. “It wasn’t me who constantly rejected you. It wasn’t me who forced you to self sacrifice yourself. It wasn’t me who just told you I was going to take away your miraculous!”

“No.” Ladybug answers calmly. “It was me who told you I was going to take away your miraculous. And it was me who just did.”

“VENOM!” Someone shouts from behind him. Then he is frozen, and he can only watch and Queen Bee and Ladybug both slip the miraculous off his finger. And he can only feel the hatred when they see who he really is.

Ladybug slips the ring on her finger, and Plagg whirls out, grinning. “Thanks, LadyB!”

“Anytime Plagg.” She responds, high fiving him. “Never call me that again.”

“K” Plagg says. “Anyways, that was me! I made him say aaaaanything he really wanted to say, like what was in his nonexistent heart. It’s a little thing called Miraculous Kwami Toxin. Forces him to do my will like he did me.”

“Wow,” LB says, before a shriek gets through to her in the battle below. It was Lila Rossi, and she was growing bigger and bigger. Ladybug starts recording as Lila confesses to everything, from her lies about Marinette to the lies that got her a free speedboat. lt instantly uploads to the Ladyblog. Then she and Queen Bee easily defeat the villain.

The next day, the police are parking inside school grounds, taking Liar Rossi away.

As class starts, the entire Akuma Class starts to apologize. Ayla, Marinette, Damian, Chloe, and Nino stand firm through the fake apologies, and walk to their seats, knowing they’re gonna be ok.
