What Happened?

Heya, so a couple weeks ago I posted my tattoo soulmate AU. I got a bunch of comments asking me to continue. I am definitely continuing. But first a little crack based on a comment by @gusiblacklake

I hope y’all enjoy

AO3. FFnet.

Original Post

Marinette walks out to the front of the school with her bags prepared to leave only to see it pouring outside. She considers making a run for it to the bakery, but after seeing how hard it’s pouring decides to wait out the rain for a bit.

Hearing another student approaching from behind her, Marinette moves to the side of the entrance so she wouldn’t block them. Unfortunately for her, it is Chloe’s friend, Adrien, who just started.

“Hey,” he greets. Marinette turns away, trying to ignore him so he would just go away and leave her alone. A red car pulls up to the front with a young girl in the backseat. The boy sighs and looks at his umbrella, then opens it and takes a step out in the rain. “I just wanted you to know that I was only trying to take the gum off your seat. I swear.”

Marinette huffs still not looking at the blond. “I’ve never been to school before. I’ve never had many friends outside of my father’s associates’ kids. Everything here is all sort of new to me.” The boy turns around and offers Marinette his umbrella. Hesitantly, she reaches out for the offered umbrella, still not trusting the boy in front of her. Suddenly, the umbrella closes over Marinette.

Not a second later, Marinette hears Adrien laughing at her. Believing he purposefully gave her a false umbrella, Marinette quickly opens the umbrella and gives him a strained smile. “Thank you for the umbrella.”

“It was nothing,” Of course, it was nothing. He’s rich. He probably has a ton of better umbrellas back home and just wanted to get rid of this old one ”Well, Marinette, I hope we can become great friends. See you tomorrow!” Adrien waves good-bye, heading into the red car.

“Hopefully not,” Marinette mutters.

Marinette’s phone rings signaling a message from one of her favorite people.

CN: I think I just met my romantic soulmate…

LB: I think I just met my enemy soulmate

———————————————————

One week later

“Class we have a new student joining us this year. Would you like to introduce yourself?” Madame Bustier asks the brunette in front of her desk.

“Hello, my name is Lila Rossi. I’m originally from Italy, but I’ve traveled all over the world due to my mother being a diplomat,” Lila introduces.

“Since Lila has a hearing condition, she needs to sit near the front. Alya would you mind giving up your seat?”

“Not at all, miss,” Alya replies. She quickly grabs her stuff and gives Marinette a wink.

Once Alya moves, Lila takes her spot right next to Marinette. The brunette gives Marinette a small smile and takes out her notebook.

“Hi, I’m Marinette. It’s very nice to meet you, Lila,” Marinette greets holding out her hand, swallowing her nerves.

Lila’s eyes light up at the sound of Marinette’s name. “Marinette, you say? Well, I hope we can become great friends.”

————————————————————

“Marinette!!!” Alya runs from the back and grabs Marinette by the wrist. She drags Marinette out of the classroom and towards the library. Alya spots an open table near the back and leads Marinette to the table.

“I have never wanted class to end sooner,” Alya complains as they sit down.

Marinette rolls her eyes. “You just couldn’t wait to talk about Lila.”

“Of course I couldn’t wait! This is your romantic soulmate we’re talking about!” Alya shouts. A loud ‘shh’ is sent their way as the librarian glares at them.

“I don’t know, Alya. She could just be another platonic soulmate. Maybe the four tattoos just means I’m destined to be surrounded by friends,” Marinette frowns, setting her head down on the table.

“THAT’S BULL-“ Another stern glare halts Alya’s shouting. “What I mean is, you are a wonderful and talented girl, Marinette. If the universe didn’t want you to have a romantic soulmate, then it messed up big time.”

“You’re right, Alya,” Marinette stands up. “I’m going to ask Lila out!”

“That’s enough out of you two. Either leave the library or stay silent!” The librarian on duty scolds.

“Sorry, madam,” Marinette apologizes. “We were just leaving.”

Quickly, Marinette and Alya grabbed their things and dashed out of the library.

“So lunch?”

————————————————————

Back in the classroom

“That was weird,” Nino comments, watching Alya drag Marinette down the hall.

“Yeah,” Adrien shakes his head. Honestly, Adrien thought everything concerning Marinette was weird. Despite all his attempts at trying to talk to her, she seemed to be very scared of him. He originally chalked it up to her being nervous around him, but can’t help but think there might be something more.

Perhaps she has a boyfriend and doesn’t want to hurt either of us.

A tap on his shoulder brings Adrien out of his thoughts. He turns around to face the new girl, Lila.

“Hi, I just wanted to talk privately for a second,” Lila says, double checking that the classroom is empty.

“Sure, what’s up?” Adrien gives the girl a smile in an attempt to appear friendly.

“Well, you’re Felix Graham de Vanily and I think you’re my soulmate,” Lila explains confidently.

Adrien opens his mouth to explain that she has him confused with his cousin, but she raises her hand to stop him.

“I know you probably get that a lot from people interested in your family’s money, but I believe we are meant to be. I already know some of your family. Your aunt Emilie practically taught me everything there is to know about the film industry.” Immediately, alarm bells start going off in Adrien’s head. If this girl was as close to his mother as she claimed, Adrien would definitely know her, yet he has never seen the girl before. “Oh, I’ve also met your cousin Adrien too. He’s the sweetest thing ever. He even gave me some modeling tips. Oh, I’ve also-“

“Let me stop you right there. I’m actually Adrien and I’ve never met you before in my life. I’m not sure who you’re trying to fool, but your lies are not working here.”

Lila huffs in frustration. “I thought you were supposed to be locked up in that big mansion,” Lila mutters. “Well, they may not work on you, but I’m sure everyone else here will believe them.”

“Not if I tell them you’re a liar,” Adrien counters.

“But who’s going to believe you?”

Before Adrien can ask what she means, Lila bursts into tears and runs out of the classroom.

“Wow, she’s good,” Adrien says out loud turning back around to grab his bag.

“Who’s good?”

“Gah!” The unexpected voice caused Adrien to jump backwards into Chloe and Sabrina’s desk.

“Woah, sorry dude. Didn't mean to scare you,” Nino apologizes, reaching out his hand to help Adrien up.

“It’s alright.”

“Who’s good, though?” Nino repeats.

“What? Oh! I was talking about Lila! She’s a liar and just ran out of here fake crying,” Adrien recounts. “She’s probably about to share how I was so mean to her or something.”

Nino’s eyes widened. “Woah, that’s not cool. What should we do?”

“I don’t know. I guess the best thing would be to spread the fact that she is a liar,” Adrien suggests.

“Yeah, we can go tell everyone now at lunch.”

————————————————————————

“Okay, here’s your chance Marinette,” Alya half whispers to the nervous girl next to her. “She’s alone over there. All you have to do is ask if she wants to hang out. It’s that easy.”

Marinette looks over where Lila is sitting alone picking at a sandwich. “Easy,” she repeats with uncertainty.

“You got this!” Alya lightly pushes Marinette towards the brunette.

Marinette starts walking over to the table where Lila is sitting. Unfortunately, as soon as she is near the table she trips letting out a shout as she falls towards the ground. She closes her eyes and flails her arms in an attempt to stop herself from falling. Instead of hitting the ground, she feels a pair of arms catch her.

Marinette slowly raises her head, silently hoping that Lila didn’t see her embarrass herself. The face of Marinette’s savior brings an instant scowl to her face.

“Are you okay Marinette?” Adrien asks with faux concern. Though Marinette wonders if the concern could be genuine, she quickly remembers that it’s Adrien, someone who is meant to bring misery to her life.

Marinette quickly gets herself out of his arms. “I’m fine. Thank you for helping me up,” Marinette moves to brush past him but he grabs her wrist to stop her.

“Wait! Marinette, I needed to talk to you,” Marinette turns to face him. She notices that Alya is surrounded by some of the girls in their class, watching the interaction between her and Adrien. Alya makes a move towards them, but Marinette shakes her head, telling her not to come.

“What do you want to talk about?” Marinette crosses her arms and looks at Adrien expectantly.

“Well, uhh, it’s um about uh Lila,” Adrien scratches his head appearing nervous.

“What about her?” Marinette questions impatiently.

“I-uh I don’t think she’s a good person. She lied about knowing me and my mom an-“

“Let me get this straight,” Marinette interrupts Adrien. “You, Mr. Daddy’s Boy Supermodel, think that Lila isn’t a good person?”

Adrien frowns unsure of how to respond. “Umm, yes…”

“I don’t believe you. For many different reasons, but mainly because I refuse to let you ruin something that could be amazing for me,” Marinette huffs and walks away.

A hand pats Adrien shoulder. “Yeah, you probably should’ve waited to tell Marinette,” Nino says. Adrien sighs, watching Marinette go sit down across from Lila.

———————————————————————

“Mind if we interrupt?” Alya asks Lila and Marinette as her, Rose, Juleka, Mylene, and Alix approach the table the two girls are sitting at.

“Not at all!” Lila exclaims as the girls sit down around the table. “You guys are so welcoming here. I didn’t think I’d meet so many people on my first day!”

“Why on earth would you think that?” Alya questions astonished.

“At my old school people spread a lot of rumors about me that caused me to lose most of my friends. I guess I was worried the same thing would happen here, especially after my run in with Adrien,” Lila looks down at her half eaten sandwich. Marinette inwardly scowls, cursing the blonde model for causing Lila so much distress.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about that here! And you’ve made friends with the best person at this school! Marinette is really amazing and super loyal!” Rose praises, trying to reassure Lila.

As the others start sharing stories of Marinette’s good deeds, Marinette blushes not used to the attention.

“Wow, I’m really lucky to have met you Marinette,” Lila gives Marinette a bright smile. This combined with all the previous praise causes Marinette’s face to turn as red as a tomato.

“Umbrghh,” is all Marinette is able to say due to her brain turning to mush.

——————————————————————————

“For homework tonight, finish reading chapter one so we can discuss in class tomorrow,” Madame Bustier instructs as the bell rings, signaling the end of class.

Marinette turns around to look back at Alya only to see the bespectacled girl mouthing ‘do it’. Marinette shakes her head, trying to signal that she couldn’t bring herself to ask Lila over. This causes Alya to huff and quickly gather her things.

Hoping to vent with Alya later about her lack of confidence, Marinette turns back to finish gathering her notebook and pens. Marinette zips up her bag and swings it over her shoulder. She goes to say goodbye to Lila only to see Alya approach the new girl.

“Hey, Lila! This is very last minute, but Marinette wanted me to model some of her designs after school today. Unfortunately, I have to watch my sisters this afternoon. And, well, I suggested Marinette ask you since we’re similar in shape, but she didn’t want to bother you because it’s your first day and all. Marinette is just so sweet like that. I’m asking on her behalf if you would help Marinette out this afternoon?” Alya asks hopefully. Marinette has her head in her palms, silently wishing for the ground to swallow her whole.

“Oh my gosh! I would totally love to Marinette!” Lila exclaims turning around to face Marinette. “I’ll meet you by the front entrance!” Lila grabs her things and runs out of the classroom clearly very eager for the afternoon’s events.

“How-“

“Magic,” Alya jokes, wiggling her fingers as if stuff will magically leave her fingers.

“Got anything to help me not act like a fool?”

“Yeah, it’s this potion I like to call Confidence. Just get a little bit of it and you’ll be fine,” Marinette rolls her eyes, unamused by Alya’s crazy antics. “Trust me, girl. You’ve got this. Just be yourself and Lila can’t miss how amazing you truly are.”

———————————————

Marinette awkwardly stares at the floor of her bedroom, not knowing what to say to break the tension in the room. After taking a quick trip to her locker, Marinette immediately took Lila to the bakery, where the brunette was introduced to Marinette’s parents and given way too many pastries. Once they got to Marinette’s room, Lila had immediately started inspecting Marinette’s room.

“So what was it that you wanted me to model?” Lila asks as she takes a seat on Marinette’s chaise.

“Oh, right! Modeling! Umm…” Marinette quickly glances around her room, trying to think of any projects she could have Lila model. Unable to think of anything, Marinette sighs. “Actually, I don’t have anything for you to model. Sorry, I wasted your time.”

Lila takes in a slow breath. “It’s okay, Marinette. You didn’t waste my time. In fact, I was excited to see your work because I sometimes scout out new talent for Gabriel Agreste.”

“Really?” Marinette questions skeptically.

“Yup! I have to say I’m very impressed. I plan to pass this on to Gabriel himself. Though he is rather busy, so it might take a while for him to get back to me.”

“Wow, thank you!” Marinette attempts to not let her disbelief show. “Uh, if you don’t mind me asking, how are you so close with Gabriel Agreste that he trusts you to scout for talent?”

“Well, I actually knew his wife before she disappeared. I got to know him through her and he saw my ability to recognize potential talent,” Lila beams.

“Wow, that’s really something,” Marinette says absentmindedly, the gears in her head turning.

“Yeah,” Lila smiles. “Well, I should get going then. I’ll see you tomorrow Marinette!” Lila’s already out the trapdoor before Marinette can even say goodbye.

Quickly, Marinette grabs her phone and opens her text message chat with Chat Noir.

LB: Quick! What are the odds a 14 year old girl is a talent scout???

CN: Slim to none

LB: *sigh* I thought so

CN: Penny for your thoughts?

LB: I think I have two enemy soulmates and no romantic soulmate

CN: Are you sure? I can’t imagine someone as amazing as you not having a romantic soulmate. Purrhaps things got confusing leading to incorrect conclusions

LB: 3/10 delivery on that pun

CN: Meouch my lady that really stung

Marinette rolls her eyes, wondering how she puts up with this crazy cat. He did have a good point. Maybe her and Luka were meant to be, or even her and Adrien. Scratch that. Adrien was nice about warning her of Lila, but honestly she couldn’t see him as more than a friend.

Zing

A/N: So it’s been awhile. This is a part of my Our Younger Selves story and I’m considering making it it’s own story. Tell me what you think!

XXXX

She watches as the little brunette beauty runs down the aisle towards her with a shaggy haired might she say quite handsome man in tow. “Mommy! Mommy! Did you see me?!”

Pride shines in her eyes as she bends down wrapping up the tiny brunette that is her whole world in her arms. “Yeah, I saw you, baby. You did an awesome job! I’m so proud of you.” She places a kiss to her daughter’s cheek and turns her attention towards the blonde man. “Hi, I’m Kensi Blye.”

He takes her offered hand. “Hi, it’s very nice to meet you, Ms. Blye. I’m Marty Deeks.”

She sends him a smile. “It’s so nice to meet you, too. Chloe can’t stop talking about you and how fun Mr. Marty’s class is. And it’s Kensi.”

Returning her smile with one of his own, he nods. “Well, she’s a pretty special girl. But you already know that.”

They both look over at the sound of giggling erupting from the little girl being chased by a brown haired boy. Smiles lighting up both their faces at the scene before them then turning back to continue their conversation, something unexpected happens.

As mismatched chocolate orbs meet those of cerulean blues the term Zing is the only word that makes sense.

Shaking her herself out of her daze, she tries to ignore the feeling in the pit of her stomach. “Chlo, time to go.”

The little girl pouts as she walks over to her mother. “Mommy, I don’t want to go.”

“Okay, I guess that ice cream will have to eat itself then.”

At those words the mini version of herself runs over, taking her hand. “You’re welcome to join us Mr. Deeks.”

“Yeah, Mr. Marty, come with us!”

He shares a look with Chloe and then looks back towards her mother. “Yeah, okay. Just let me lock up and I’ll meet you guys in the parking lot.”

The brunette and blonde laugh as the exuberant six year old jumps for joy. “Yay!”

XXXX

As the three walk out to their cars, Kensi feels a tug on her arm. Looking down she sees the pleading look in her daughter’s deep brown eyes. “Okay. Okay.”

“Marty.” She hopes he can’t hear the hesitancy in her voice.

Stopping in his tracks, he turns towards the duo, giving them his full attention. “Yeah?”

“Chloe was wondering…..” She feels the tug on her arm once again. “We were wondering if you’d like to come to our house for lunch tomorrow.”

The smile that lights up his face is all she needs to know. “Can I bring anything?”

“Just yourself. We got the rest covered, right, Chlo?” Kensi looks down at her beaming daughter.

“Right!”

He tries to stay calm, but the feeling in the pit of his stomach is making it very hard to do. “Alright. Great! I’ll see you guys tomorrow.”

XXXX

He takes a deep breath, smoothing out his clothes to make sure he’s as presentable as necessary. Bringing his fist up, he knocks on the door twice before he hears what he can only assume is Chloe’s bare feet hitting the floor as she runs to the door.

“Hi, Mr. Marty!”

“Hey there, Chloe.” He gives her a smile.

“Puppy!” His attention turns away from the little girl towards his trusty sidekick.

He smiles as she runs forward, running her hands through his hair. Looking back up at the sound of another pair of foot steps his brain turns to jelly when he sees the tall vision dressed in red walk towards him. “This is Mon….Monty.”

“Hi, Marty.”

Words. What are words? “Hhh…hiiiii. Hi, Kens.” He gathers himself, hoping he’s not making a complete fool of himself. “You look beautiful.”

Shocked at his words and the butterflies that erupt within her stomach, she gives him a shy smile. “Thank you.”

They make no move to break their locked gaze. Eyes dancing with something neither of them have felt before. They’re finally broken out of their trance when a barking Monty drags an exuberant little girl through the front door.

“Come in.”

As they walk through the door he becomes a little more nervous than before. “I hope it’s okay that I brought him. I thought Chloe would enjoy it and Monty needs to get rid of some of the what little energy he has.”

She walks into the open kitchen towards the stove, stirring something. “Of course it okay. She’s been begging me to get her a dog for months so maybe this will help stop the nagging.”

“Well, I’m happy to help.” He sits on the bar stool at the island and watches her as she moves around the kitchen like it’s nothing. “So what is it that you do?”

Stoping what she’s doing, she looks out the window, taking a peak at her girl and the dog she’s seemingly fallen in love with playing in the backyard. Once she’s satisfied that they’re okay, she turns her attention back to the man whose effecting her like she doesn’t even know what. “I’m a personal trainer. I have my own studio on Pico.”

“Wow, that’s really great.”

She gives him a questioning look.

“No, I really mean that. To be able to take care of your daughter, be there for her all the time, working full time and doing it alone no less. You’re like a real life Wonder Woman.”

The faint smile that spreads to her face tells him that she doesn’t think so. “Thanks, I do my best. My parents try to help out as much as they can. Sometimes it feels like I’m not doing enough. But I’d do anything for her.”

“I-“

“Mommy, me and Monty are hungry.”

They both shake their heads, trying to rid the buzzing feeling from their heads.

“Okay, sweetie. Go wash your hands and then we’ll eat.”

XXXX

He brings his napkin to his lips to wipe away the last remnants of his dinner. “Well, that has got to be the best meal I have ever had. Thank you, Kensi.”

“Thank you, mommy.”

She sends him a grateful smile. “I’m glad you both liked it.”

He shakes his head. She’s a super mom, this he knows. She probably doesn’t get the praise she deserves most days but he can change that. “Love.”

“What?”

Marty sends her a smile and then turns to her mini version. “We both loved it. Right, squirt?”

Chloe nods in agreement. “Right!”

Nothing else can be said before the seven year old’s attention span shoots to another subject. “Mr. Marty, do you wanna watch Moana?”

“Sure, I’d love too.”

XXXX

A few hours later the credits begin to roll and Kensi looks over to find her daughter beginning to nod off. “Alright, kiddo, say goodnight to Mr. Marty and go get into your jammies.”

The little girl slowly begins to get up and gives a half wave to her teacher as she makes her way out of the living room. “Goodnight, Mr. Marty.”

“Goodnight, Chloe.”

The adults share yet another smile as they see her get a sudden burst of energy and runs down the hall towards her bedroom singing.

He doesn’t want the night to end, but seeing as though they’ve all had a long day he knows he’d better before he does something stupid. Like spill his feelings for this beautiful woman that he just met standing before him. “Well, I’d better get going.”

“Let me walk you out.”

They stop at the door, neither wanting to say goodbye. “I had a really great time today, Kensi. Thank you for inviting me.”

“You’re welcome. We loved having you. Maybe we could-“ She’s interrupted when he blurts out the words.

“Would you wanna go out with me some time?”

A blush rises to her cheeks. “Yeah. Yeah, I would like that very much.”

Their eyes lock not for the first time today. He takes a slight step forward closing the distance between them. 90/10. He repeats to himself. After a few seconds he’s scared he went too far but then her lips are on his and WOW.

The kiss doesn’t last as long as either would like but it’s a start. A start to the beginning. “How about tomorrow night?”

“I��m sorry, what?”

“Would you go out with me tomorrow night?”

“Yeah, tomorrow is great.”

“Great.” He leans forward, placing another brief kiss to her lips. “See you tomorrow, Kens.”

“Bye.”

She smiles as she shuts the door and slides down to the floor her legs now in a gelatin like state. That kiss. Wow. The sound of her daughter calling for her pulls her out of her trance. And what a trance it was.

XXXX

One year later……

They’re at their usual spot. Enjoying the waves and the sun, but more importantly, they’re enjoying each other.

He’s sitting in the sand with his girl cocooned inside his legs and his other girl nearby building a sandcastle. Life can’t get much better than this.

“Hey, baby, could you stand up for a second? I think you may be sitting on my phone.”

Leaning back against his chest, she turns her head a smirk playing at her features. “What like that’s ever stopped you before?”

He places a kiss to her shoulder, because they’re in a public place and can’t do anything more without being arrested and because the little girl that’s five feet away from them. “Baby, please?”

Sighing, she gets up, but startles when she realizes his phone is next to her bag. “Babe, your phone’s right-“ Her mouth drops open at the sight before her.

He’s down on one knee, holding the most beautiful ring in between his fingers and reaches for her hand. “Kens, from the moment you walked into that auditorium with this little spit fire over here I was enamored. So much so that you knocked me flat on my ass-“ He stops when the other piece of his whole world gasps.

“Bad word!” A shocked Chloe covers her mouth.

“Sorry, Chlo.” He leans forward placing a kiss on his hopefully soon to be daughter’s head.

Kensi look on as the man she loves cares for her little girl. Like a father would his daughter.

“As I was saying, I can’t promise I won’t let a few bad words slip every once and awhile.” He sends a wink to the little girl making her giggle. “But I can promise that I will love you,” He looks at Kensi and then at Chloe, sending her a smile. Turning his attention back to his hopefully soon to be wife. “That I’ll love both of you with everything I am for the rest of my life. Baby, you make me want to be a better man. The best man. Because that’s what you deserve. You’re the most amazing woman and mother to ever be and I hope that I can grow with you. I hope that maybe I can make things easier for you. Your smile, your laugh….everything. You’re everything to me. I never knew love could feel this way. That I could love someone so deeply that it hurt when I’m not with them. That’s you. You’re my solstice. You’re the one I want by my side. Whenever I have a bad day all I have to do is look at you and know that as long as I have you and your love nothing else matters. One of my favorite things to do is run my finger through your hair. So……will you let me run my fingers through your hair until it’s gray or you’re bald even. Either way…..will you make me the happiest man in existence and be my wife? Will you marry me?”

The tears that are streaming down her face are nothing compared to the summersaults going on inside her. She’s found a man. An amazing man that treats her the way she deserves to be treated. A man that respects her, that encourages her, pushes her to be better and loves her with all he is. Most of all he’s become the father she’s always dreamed for her little girl. “Yes!” She bends down, bringing her lips to his. “Yes. I love you so much. Yes!”

He stands up wrapping his arms around her waist and twirling her around, bringing their lips together once again. Once they pull back, she places her forehead to his. Their eyes locked onto one another’s, no words need be said. A few minutes pass before he sits his future wife back on solid ground and another nervous look crosses his face.

The mother daughter duo watch as he reaches for something in his pocket. He pulls out the silver chain with a pendant and both of their eyes light up when they see the sea turtle. Calling Chloe over he returns to his earlier position and gets down on one knee.

“Chloe, squirt, besides your mom you are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Watching you grow and discover new things over the past year has been one the highlights of my life. I promise to love you for the rest of my days. To kiss your booboos. To beat up anyone that hurts you and to protect you from all the scary things in life. I promise to make you laugh when mommy’s trying to be serious. To play dress up with you everyday for as long as you want me to. I love teaching you how to surf and how to play soccer. Chloe, just like your mom, you deserve to be loved and taken care of so if you let me I’d love to teach you all the things a daddy is suppose to teach his little girl. Chloe, will you let me be your daddy?”

The excited grin that spreads to her face tells him his answer but what he wasn’t expecting were the tears. As he clips the clasp around her neck, she falls into his embrace. Her tears soaking his shirt. “I love you, daddy.”

“I love you, too.”

If Kensi wasn’t a mess before, she most definitely is now. This man…..god this man of hers. He’s everything. More than everything.

The shaggy blonde stands up, holding Chloe in his arms as he wraps his free arm around his other girl. The tall brunette wraps her arms around both of them, he places a kiss to her head. “I love you, Marty.”

“I most definitely love you, too, Kens.”

They watch on as the sun begins to set over the Pacific. A sunset built for a family.

heavy unspoken implication that she might not be if the friends or fam descend 💔] Ava: [resting your head on him as a silent thank you but then lifting it like 'so awake, promise'[ James: [stroking her hair and keeping an eye like] Ava: [being like let me tell YOU a story and honestly God knows but it'd be cute and she'd be trying to match his storyteller energy] James: [when that's lowkey the moment he falls in love with her bye] Ava: [asking the driver to play the new moon soundtrack] James: [loling and honestly when was the last time he did that, we all know it was when they were

we ain't gonna interrupt, you don't know that boy] James: [speaking of, probably send a text or something to check on the kids because you just ran like assumedly they at their grandparents but] Ava: [never leaving 'em with Chlo we all know] James: [lord her and Jay would kill each other] Ava: [I'd genuinely be worried for her safety so don't blame you remotely boy, least her parents are invested] James: [literally though & you can have those grandparents forever babs we ain't taking them away from you] Ava: [awkward that your mum never shows but that's just that on that] James: [lbr that's for the best stick with your dads kiddos] Ava: [we all know it, even if Matty might not end up remembering much] James: [Ava lowkey her mum now oops] Ava: [and Jay's actual auntie...lol what a tangled web we weave boo] James: [at least they can all stay connected] Ava: [true facts] James: [makes my heart happy even if it's weird] Ava: [lean in to how weird this family is James] James: [they weird af but they're better than the one he's got #noshadetoTeddythough] Ava: [all the shade to you Chlo, sort it out] James: [her poor future children & husband] Ava: [honestly, good luck] James: [he'd have to be about everything she is or else what the fuck] James: [anyway we've been sidetracked get to Baze's house you two] Ava: [movie marathon awaits, what else do we vibe or shall we just try and see what comes out, like] James: [let's just run with it and see what happens because we extra and anything could be said and done tbh] James: [imagine how awkward it'd be when they get there because he'd have to send her in first and just be shitting himself in the car like is anyone there or no] Ava: [at least you know full well no one is there 'cos business trips forever so you're just at the door shaking your head and doing the 'come on' gesture] James: [he'd just help her to the sofa like immediately & get her blankets and pillows and painkillers (even though it wouldn't touch a concussion headache) and a phone charger and everything else she could possibly need cos Chloe's got him trained like a dog] Ava: [low-key pulling at him, gently, like boy sit down] James: [when you are then looking at her like what did I forget/ do wrong before you realise] Ava: [squeezing his hand because you can only say thank you so many times, putting the film on but then pausing and gasping so dramatically 'coffee, I promised you coffee' and going to get up like can you be careful please] James: [thinking she's in pain or something because of that gasp so being at her side like 0-1000 and slowing her down cos they can do it together thank you] Ava: [making a face at herself like ffs when she catches on 'I'm not trying to age you' and touching his non-grey hair and wrinkles like totally necessary yep] James: ['but you're offering me coffee, what's next red meat or red wine?' but no actual shade cos we both know he doesn't care and none of that is what's aging him anyway, taking her hand from his face and gently kissing said hand before handholding to lead her to her own kitchen like let's do this] Ava: ['I don't know where my cigarettes are' shrugs and smiles like sorry not sorry, smiles even harder but lowkey stops breathing when, kissing ontop of where he just kissed her hand, then getting to this all-singing all-dancing coffee machine 'you have to pick the most daring option, one you've never, ever tried before, okay?' and waggling her finger like so serious about this] James: [takes his own cigarettes out of his pocket and slides the pack over to her 'okay' and does pick, really concentrating on the decision even though there'd be so much shit he hasn't tried and we all know he could just pick option 1 and be done] Ava: [takes one out and puts it behind her ear for later 'cos no need to light up in your parents home, just watching him 'cos so cute and then nodding like yes, good choice and picks the same, setting up this machine 'cos they're always more confusing and/or time-consuming than they need to be I swear] James: [where's the lie you gotta have the knack I swear, his turn to watch her now though because she's beautiful doing anything ever and he missed her so bad] Ava: [ahh coffee goodtimes forever] James: [he needs it cos he is tired af so thanks Ava you babe] Ava: ['do we talk about what happened, or do we write it off?' when you just saying this casually whilst waiting for your coffees] James: ['I don't know' because he is genuinely torn between wanting to and also not] Ava: ['Wait and see how we feel' 'cos no rush or pressure here 'you better carry these though' 'cos we don't need burns as well ty] James: ['wait here a minute for me' because carries the drinks through and then comes back for her because why not carry her though as well obvs] Ava: [does and loves it 'I've missed you, you know'] James: ['I know now' just giving her 😍 casually 'I've missed you too'] Ava: [😍 right back 'Ask anyone' when you're talking about your mood but you realize that sounds like you been telling the world lol 'I mean, I've been a delight' 🙄] James: [when you shake your head like no it's okay 'I overreacted about your cousin, I'm sorry' takes a deep breath remembering that whole sad ending moment 'And I'm sorry for fucking up the start of your summer' because she loves it and he knows] Ava: ['I understand why, understood, whatever. And I am still sorry, I was just too excited and-' sighs like, you know, squeezing his hand again 'I promise, that's all sorted now though' 'cos clearly told her it's over by now, 'cos thought it was anyway; she nods like thanks but shrugs like it's okay too, don't worry 'Sure even I can't be grumpy in the Seychelles, like'] James: [blatantly almost kissing her because he understands the whole being too highkey thing because he was (*cough* is) too but doesn't because she's going away 'when are you going?'] Ava: [sad face like you didn't just say you aren't gonna be grumpy 'when my parents get back, couple of days'] James: [strokes her face again like he did earlier 'you'll feel better by then' because someone's meant to watch you for 48 hours actually NHS website says] Ava: [😈 me 😇 her looking at him 'how did you even- why- I-' continuously cutting herself off 'cos you know he was checking in on you now and you know he came without hesitating so it doesn't need to be said 'Oh, James'] James: ['Ava' saying her name with SO MUCH feeling that I cannot 'I had to' when you mean so many things by that like you had to go but you have to stay now and you had to make sure she was okay today but also you had to keep checking on her the whole time] Ava: [definitely gonna go in to kiss him can't stop that soz] James: [we all know it was only a matter of time and that this is gonna turn into a not at all casual make out session] Ava: [you honestly deserve it lads] James: [that coffee gonna be cold and they won't even notice] Ava: [the movies are also not being watched lmao but no one cares rn] James: [on pause forever sorry not sorry] James: [but eventually like after AN AGE one of them should lean on the remote or whatever so it starts playing and they're like wtf] Ava: [when you shit yourself like who is here but then loving 'cos hi Edward] James: [we all shitting ourselves and all loling] Ava: ['he's very possessive' no lie] James: [looking at Edward and then kissing her again like when you're trying to make someone jealous] Ava: [when you're loling too hard into his mouth like 'scuse me] James: [kissing her neck instead so she can have her adorable lol] Ava: [reacting to that in a v different way] James: [we back at it again at krispy kreme soz twilight saga] Ava: [i swear to god the ily curse is so real] James: [this always happens to us, don't talk for a bit lads, wink wonk] Ava: [its because we give them such high-pressure situations but yes, you should fully hook up 'cos haven't yet] James: [I wonder if the orgasm headache thing would work for a concussion one or not] Ava: [my boo says #experiment] James: [imma google it but I don't expect an answer] James: [nobody is telling me but if it can help a migraine I don't see why it wouldn't] Ava: [you'll be fine bitch, just a shameless excuse that he needs to hang around longer] James: [we should totally also do the shameless thing when he falls asleep and then wakes up immediately but is like oh no how long was I asleep because not only worried about her we know] Ava: [for sure, just there chilling like 🥰 'not long, but you looked peaceful'] James: ['I was' and more 😍 'I am' just snuggling happily because deserved af] Ava: [kissing the top of his head 'good' then lying down and snuggling harder 'I'm so glad you're here, that you're okay'] James: ['I'm glad that I'm here & that you're okay' kissing her forehead and holding her so tightly because he was so worried that something much worse had happened to her] Ava: ['It was kinda scary how much I missed you- like I said I WAS extra but I think, no, I still am, I can't lie to you'[ James: [when you are just falling so hard for her rn smiling like look at this perfect 😇 'you don't have to miss me any longer, minus however long you're spending in the Seychelles, of course'] Ava: ['Yeah?' trying but failing not to sound so hopeful 'And two weeks, so not as long as it has been, not that I was definitely counting or anything'] James: ['I was afraid, no, I am afraid but very few things have ever scared me as much as when I saw you were in hospital & I thought-'] Ava: [just holding him back even tighter like you could not be closer 'I'm so sorry I scared you, I won't ever do it again, even if I get hit by something more substantial than a 90lbs mum on a lightweight bike' and shaking her head with a lil lol 'cos it is funny even though it can be as bad as a car crash actual sometimes] James: ['You scare me in the best ways, you don't have to stop, I don't want you to' because think of the new things he's already done and the new things he's already felt, it makes me emosh goodbye] Ava: [when that's the hottest thing you've ever heard like 'scuse me round two] James: [you've actually got all night for once so make the most of it lads] Ava: [like literally no one needs it more than him so I'm allowing it, there's enough shit happened, happening and still to come] James: [amen to that] Ava: [happy bubble forever] James: [if only like, he is NOT gonna wanna leave in the morning but maybe we could say that like Jay has a playdate with friends or something cos soz babe you can't keep a secret so he just gets the baby and comes back] Ava: [that would be a moment] James: [just casually meet each other how cute] Ava: [have a normal, happy day like you're meant to oh] James: [you all deserve it truly] Ava: [meet your potential future stepchild babe] James: [do we wanna have them go out or stay in?] Ava: [🤔 obvs really want them to go to Kensington Park 'cos Peter Pan and like obvs I doubt anyone who would be bothered to report to Chloe is gonna be there but it is risky so maybe save it idk] James: [we will bookmark that for the future because MUST but they could take Frank on a walk somewhere cos we ain't referenced that sweet sir even if it's just through the streets like] Ava: [that's a good shout, you better be a good boy lol] James: [and don't cockblock them rn please] James: [they'd look like a little fam, I am FINE] Ava: [and lowkey behave more like one in one day like the bar is so low tah Chlo] James: [the scolding tea] James: how are you feeling? Ava: 😊 So happy Ava: Only a bit tired from the whole staying awake thing and you keeping me awake, like 😏 Ava: oh, and Frank said you've redeemed yourself so well done there too Ava: how're you and the girls? James: I'm happy to hear all of that James: has your dizziness gone? James: we're fine, but tired too Ava: Yeah Ava: barely a headache Ava: and my parents get in early AM so I should be all set to go when they do get here James: how much packing is there left to do? Ava: All of it but deciding which 14 bikinis I wanna take shouldn't take too long James: are you sure? I think it would take me a really long time to decide Ava: I'll put some stories up Ava: You can help me Ava: I reckon I need your clearly more considered opinion James: of course you do James: you wouldn't want to spend the entirety of your holiday wishing you'd chosen differently Ava: so true Ava: especially as I'm not allowed to pack my pout James: everyone is well aware of how important the pursuit of a tan is to you, darling, anything that jeopardises that, well, it's bound to be very pout inducing James: you'll be forgiven Ava: I don't know if my family is as forgiving as you Ava: perhaps they don't like my pout as much Ava: they definitely aren't as supportive in bikini related decision making James: I'll dedicate paragraphs to both James: multiple lengthy ones Ava: It'll seem gratuitous in the movie but nothing is too much for the book James: as long as it remains included in the director's cut James: or else I will be devastated Ava: I'll demand it in my contract Ava: I think it'll be a first in favour of taking your clothes off instead of keeping 'em on James: thank you James: you do deserve a multitude of firsts, honestly Ava: you deserve so much Ava: much more than I'm allowed to give you Ava: that reminds me Ava: as I can't give you anything as a thank you, I've had to get creative James: so much of what I deserve is negative & there is nothing you owe to me in any capacity, thanks included James: but I'd never want to discourage creativity Ava: Shh sh Ava: in the spirit of firsts and trying new things Ava: when you're all less worn out, go to [a sassy but kid-friendly cafe/restaurant that's a bit out there and exotic and definitely nowhere Chloe has ever made you take her] and tell 'em you're eating on me, yeah Ava: then when I get back and you're free, you're coming over and I'm cooking James: Ava Ava: It's already arranged, I go there all the time, it's the 2nd best Brazilian food I've had James: you've been to Brazil for the 1st, haven't you? I can tell Ava: Actually no, mores the pity Ava: but my Uncle is Brazilian and a chef, my cousin too Ava: having a big weird family has unexpected perks Ava: if you like it, I already have a recipe lined up that's meant to be 🔥 but even a novice like me can master it James: you'll have to wait patiently for my review because I regrettably can't send you a picture of my face after the 1st mouthful to serve as one, but okay Ava: I'll do my best Ava: though having any patience when it comes to you doesn't seem to be my strong suit Ava: arguably not a virtue I'm known for, ever, but especially now James: I'll do my best not to miss you so hard that it's physically painful but that doesn't appear to be my strong suit either & as previously agreed, I won't make any promises I'm forced to immediately break Ava: Oh Ava: Knowing it wasn't just me finding out that painful cliche is painfully real is somehow a comfort, to know you'll want to avoid the feeling as much as I do from now on but it also hurts me even more, the idea of you having to feel it at all in the first place Ava: but there is no conflict in just how hard I'm looking forward to seeing you again after this ill-timed holiday James: I don't ever want you to be in pain because of me, I have to insist on only the good cliches going forward James: devastatingly a postcard can't be included in that Ava: Hmm, got any long-lost great aunties I can pretend to be? 🤔😂 James: If I do my wife is bound to be aware of them, their current financial situation & any possible health concerns they are facing Ava: Valid Ava: Don't need to give her any more reason to 💀💀💀 me Ava: At least no holiday is complete without the obligatory narcissistic poolside shoot James: suffice to say I've never had a complete holiday, in that case Ava: I bet you've had to be cameraman plenty though Ava: so rude when you're so nice to look at James: & yet I've never been trusted to pick a filter Ava: 🙄 Ava: does she not know that you're an artiste James: no, it's our secret Ava: 😊 I like that James: I like you Ava: I like that more James: I wish I could see you again before you go Ava: Me too Ava: I kinda wish I weren't going James: how early are your parents getting back exactly? Ava: like 4am kinda early James: I won't make you stay awake again James: I know how tired you must be Ava: 🥺 James: I'm so relieved that I can't see that look on your actual face Ava: It's 💔 Ava: but I'll survive Ava: about James: you're a very strong person Ava: You James: I'm not Ava: You are though Ava: you put up with so much shit James: is that strength or is it weakness? Ava: I think it's strength Ava: You can't necessarily stop shit happening or get shit out of your life Ava: no matter how strong Ava: and you manage to do all the shit you have to regardless James: I'd like to think you're right Ava: Then you should Ava: I encourage it Ava: 🤓 me James: you are undeniably clever Ava: Try to be Ava: when I'm not standing in the middle of cycle paths, obviously James: I heard you say that bike came out of nowhere Ava: Yeah Ava: I miss you already Ava: Frank is not as good a nurse, like at all James: if you can fall asleep now, I'd feel less guilty about the prospect of asking you not to later James: should I hypothetically be able to get away Ava: 🛌🏃 Ava: Promise James: I can't give you a promise back Ava: I know Ava: but this way, I either stay asleep and that's that Ava: or I get the best surprise to wake me up James: what did I do to deserve you? Ava: This is the part where I say something very bad but Ava: you don't seem capable Ava: you're just James: whatever it was, I need to know so I can keep doing it Ava: just be you Ava: another cliche you've proven to be true and real James: this fortnight without you is going to be really cliche James: there's no chance of it existing beyond the 1st draft Ava: not even for my eyes only? James: well James: maybe Ava: Please please please James: okay James: you are my fairest critic & you do have beautiful eyes Ava: Yours are better Ava: but I won't be too jealous if I get to look at them more James: I definitely can't promise not to be envious of everyone in the Seychelles who will get to look at you more than I can Ava: Do you ever get a decent lunchbreak? Ava: we could facetime James: I'll figure something out James: because my dad takes the longest lunch breaks, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's the 80s Ava: 😏 we love a throwback 🙄 James: I'll take Matty to work with me, she'll distract whoever I need her to Ava: She is very cute Ava: I see it James: I won't be saying anything the like of that if she won't sleep tonight though Ava: 🤞 for you and her Ava: shame she's not yet at the walking stage Ava: Frank is so 💤 James: I can't keep her in any kind of routine, it's frustrating for both of us Ava: That's hard James: it's harder for her than it is for me, she never knows what's happening Ava: She'll get there Ava: I was the worst baby Ava: hopefully before you totally lose your mind, 'course James: I find it impossible to believe you weren't 😇 Ava: I was pretty premmie so my poor parents were confined to perpetual bright light for ages when I got home James: both the girls were so late James: that was an entirely different struggle Ava: I can imagine how delightful Ava: usually excusable but when you set the bar low to begin with 😬 James: the last thing I want to do is badmouth her to you, but as we know, sometimes things write themselves Ava: I feel you Ava: not a cliche I particularly wanna be either James: of course not Ava: but you can vent, you know Ava: I don't even have to reply, just if you need to put it somewhere James: no, I can't Ava: okay, just a suggestion James: so much of this is already not fair to you, Ava Ava: I don't think it is Ava: you've never lied about any of it, you're always realistic about what you can and can't give me Ava: and I'd like to help, in any tiny way I'm able James: you don't know what she's like & I'd rather you didn't have to know James: let's keep it at you don't do sympathy Ava: I know very little but that's not positive so it doesn't take your author level of imagination if I wanna go there without your guidance Ava: and it isn't sympathy but okay Ava: I won't mention her and you don't have to either James: I just can't have you seeing me differently because Ava: I'd never see you differently because of what she's like as a person James: it's too big of a risk for me to take, that you'll end up thinking less of me than you do now Ava: You can trust me Ava: but you don't have to Ava: I won't push anything, I don't need to Ava: as much as I want to take things fast in so many respects, I'm never going to take it where you don't want it James: it isn't you I don't trust James: I'm not a reliable narrator, she's made sure I'm not Ava: However...intertwined and diluted you feel your story got, because of her, because of whatever Ava: it's always gonna be your story to tell, if you want it Ava: and I'll always listen to how you tell it James: Ava Ava: James James: if it was a story I was in control of I'd come to the airport & tell you not to go James: cliche or not Ava: and I'd stay Ava: but that's far too much like a happy ending and we've only just begun James: you're right again Ava: don't sound so surprised 😉 James: I was actually trying to decide where it falls on the scale of ideas & habits, good, bad or somewhere in between James: that you always seem to be Ava: Have you drawn a conclusion yet? James: I couldn't possibly tell you James: you're supposed to be asleep Ava: damn Ava: you'll tell me in the morning? James: yes Ava: Okay, I'll go, as long as you know it is so reluctantly it's practically under protest James: & I won't stay here hoping you don't, as long as you know it's under identical conditions Ava: Noted Ava: Goodnight and sweet dreams for whenever that happens for you then, love James: thank you

Butterfly Falls

Been a while since I posted anything and now it’s for Gravity Falls level conspiracy theorizing for Miraculous Ladybug.

SPOILERS AHEAD.

ALL RIGHT, so the theory started when I was thinking about those new pearls of Ladybug and how yeah, you know what, it makes sense for her to have more powers. Because just look at the versatility of their powers versus the Butterfly Miraculous.

The fact is, most any Butterfly user is going to have hundreds of people to chose from in a crisis situation. SOMEONE is going to have a Champion form the butterfly can use and as long as you’re willing to trust others, it’s pretty good. And heck, you can break the object and get an army of people. And it’s not like there’s any clear time limit. For all both Ladybug and Chat Noir can do a lot with their ONE THING, it has to be in the vein of the ONE THING.

But if the Black Cat and Ladybug Miraculous can be upgraded with new abilities, it makes more sense and it could also bring general bad luck into the Black Cat’s thing instead of just the ultimate bad luck. The two are the most powerful. They’re also the ones that need the most LIMITERS, such as dividing the power into all these pearls and whatever the Black Cat has. Which got me thinking of the limitations of the other Miraculous because let’s be fair, the Butterfly can do a lot. It granted time travel and mass mind control and made a pocket dimension.

I realized that it might be a limitation that ALL the other Miraculous have besides the main two. And that is the limitation of Other.

The Butterfly REQUIRES a champion, another person.

The Fox is illusion, which REQUIRES that people fall for said illusions, it’s a power dependent on the reactions of others.

The turtle grants long life and presumably protection, a role in service of others, the long life makes the guardian an Other in a more figurative social sense as the years go on.

We don’t know what the Bee does, but it’s a BEE, there’s going to be some need of Other.

Then we got the Peacock. Which is a Miraculous of truth.

How does one other truth.

Before we get into that, the question is, who was the Peacock wielder? Because I don’t think it was Mama Agreste.

When we see Nuuruu, they’re explaining how the butterfly’s powers work. Which implies that this transformation was the first time Hawk Moth had ever done so. Which means someone else must have wielded the butterfly, and in a way, it fits what we know about Miraculous users IF you consider the fact Mama Agreste probably had her some years.

Adrien has the Black Cat Miraculous because he needs the freedom and the ability to destroy the walls in his life. What he needs is CHAOS to grow as a person.

Marinette has the Ladybug because she needs the confidence to follow her instincts and act instead of getting stuck in her own mental trappings.

Alya will be good for the Fox Miraculous because she won’t abuse lies, but she also needs to learn that sometimes lies and discretion are important.

Chloe will be good for the Bee Miraculous because she needs to learn how to work hard and accept consequences of her actions, so a miraculous that likely relies on working with others will show that.

What little we know about Mama Agreste is she’s emotional, and stubborn, but she also WILLINGLY allowed Gabriel to cloister away their son. Which means on some level, she agreed with this course of action. Perhaps Mama Agreste in her youth was someone who took on all responsibilities, who thought she was the best to do what needed to be done. And likely learned the hard way sometimes you need to rely and trust others to be able to do the work too.

And when she had her son, the control freak tendencies resurfaced and she ended up agreeing with the overprotective measures. Maybe even SUGGESTED them since Gabriel did agree to allow Adrien to go to school.

So Mama Agreste had the Butterfly.

Which leaves only one person for the Peacock.

Gabriel, who has trouble showing his own emotions. Gabriel whose very good at the fake smiles and how to schmooze when the time calls for it. Gabriel whose all about self control and discipline....and an extremely artistic career. One of the best in the world. A man who can’t express himself emotionally has done so in fashion, in works of art. There have been indications that Gabriel wasn’t always as bad as we see him now. He got his son the same pen for several years, and judging by Nathalie’s panic, it was something HE did. Emotionally awkward Gabriel Agreste, who probably never knew how to open up and TALK to people, but learned enough to get the love of his life, who couldn’t have been an easy woman to impress, able create works to impress the WORLD, and probably loves puns.

Someone who could learn a lot from a truth Miraculous.

The Peacock was Gabriel Agreste.

But the question is, what does the Peacock DO.

One of the popular ideas is prophecy, but as far as powers go, it’s lackluster. Timebreaker proves time is a fluid thing in Ladybug, so longterm prophecy falls apart worldbuilding wise. Combat wise, it would mean a Peacock needs to be good at fighting in general to effectively use the forewarning, but again, every move changes every prophecy. Prophecy as a power, while good at Othering, is either lacking versatility or too much of a mess to be utilized effectively in comparison to the others.

But with the spoilers of the Collector, I thought of another possibility. What Other could come from Truth.

Gabriel Agreste is not Hawk Moth....but he IS Hawk Moth.

Because the primary Other has been about Other People, how Other People React, how Other People Need To Be Involved. A Fox Fools, a Turtle Protects, a Butterfly Empowers.

A Peacock Reveals.

The Peacock’s power pulls the truth out of people. It could be Wonder Woman’s lasso, it could pull dark entities out of people, it could do a lot when it comes to corruption to get rid of it. Or even pull out a person’s inner demons and make them face the truth of themselves.

For a man whose in a career of art and passion, Gabriel Agreste is very cold. It takes extreme emotional duress before he starts to really show any feeling besides annoyance. Even to Adrien. Even in pictures taken for mourning, he shows so little.

What if this isn’t just him putting on a strong face...but him literally MISSING emotions.

Because here’s Gabriel. His wife has vanished, perhaps he suspects magic, perhaps he’s as clueless as everyone. The love of his life, his light and inspiration, is gone.

And here’s his son. His son whose only true support Network are his parents and Chloe. His son needs his father, because the only other person his son has is CHLOE, and he’s lost the third person whose truly been close to Adrien. His very emotional son who looks painfully like his mother.

Let’s be real, the Agreste boys are not reasonable, rational human beings, no matter how much they might pretend otherwise.

So when you’re in a greater pain than you ever imagined feeling and your precious son needs you?

Why not RIP OUT YOUR OWN HEART?

I think Gabriel used his Miraculous to rip out his pain, his mourning, his anger, everything that made it impossible for him to function in day to day life.

Leaving Gabriel without a good chunk of his own emotions until there’s enough emotional duress to ignite what embers remain for a genuine reaction, such as his worry on Christmas, and the hug from Jackady. And why he can be so cold because someone THAT high up in the fashion world should have a far better idea on his to handle someone as emotional as Adrien lets his father see. Unless their own ability to feel got jacked up thanks to dark magic.

And all that hurt?

Hello supervillain.

It would explain why Hawk Moth is ALWAYS ready to make an Akuma despite Gabriel running a fashion empire, from school hours to evenings to weekends. He’d still have access to finances so he could still get what he needs. He could be in a place across town which explains the Eiffel Tower thing AND why Adrien isn’t aware of a butterfly doom room.

It might even be why he picks on Chloe! He’s gotta be super possessive of Adrien and screw that girl who encourages Adrien to rebel.

Also if Hawk Moth IS supposed to be redeemed as Adrien’s father, it’s kind of messed up he took SUCH DELIGHT in Chat Noir almost murdering the love of his life repeatedly. That’s less ‘motivated villain’ as ‘downright horrible person,’ but makes a lot more sense if he’s a manifestation of dark emotions.

It explains why attacking Gabriel in Jackady is a risk because it’s probably NOT good to attack your other half. Because why else is it risky? The only other possible explanation is knowing Gabriel has a Miraculous, but really, attacking his son’s school is just as much of a risk.

It would explain the Collector.

And why Hawk Moth is more than aware you can make dark, corrupted versions of a Miraculous magic.

Let’s be fair, the WHOLE SHOW has villain of a week based on the physical manifestations of someone’s negative feelings.

Why not make that the case with your main bad guy too?

The Nine Lives of Chloe King (1/?)

"So what brings you to the Big Easy?" Chloe questions bringing his drink over to him.

With a small smile he replied looking back at the Blonde in front of him. "I used to live here."

"Really, when?" Chloe asked not quite keeping her curiosity at a limit.

"Oh, it feels like a hundred years ago." Elijah replied with a small chuckle with his eyes quickly darting over the Bar.

"I just moved here myself. What brought you back? " Though not fully revealing why exactly she was here.

"Well, my brother's here somewhere. I'm afraid he might have got himself into a bit of a bind." The Noble Original Replied still anxious and worried why his Brother would make such a quick leave from Mystic Falls to their Old Home.

"You say that like it's happens a lot. " The Blonde Bartender said looking towards to her cousin and smiled.

"Well ... he's complicated. Defiant, ill-mannered, and a little temperamental. See, we don't share the same father. Of course that never bothered me, but my brother resents it deeply. Never felt like he belongs. All told, he has a long history of getting himself into trouble. " Elijah replied looking deep in thought.

"And I'm guessing you have a long history of getting him out of it." The Blonde said with a small smile on her face.

Elijah nods smiling. Seeing that she can in a way relate to him.

"What kind of trouble is your brother in?" Chloe looks back at him with a small confusion.

Elijah somewhat sighs. "He believes there are people in this town that are conspiring against him."

"Wow. Narcissistic and paranoid. " Chloe shakes her head. As Elijah observes her interest. "Sorry Freshman at The University and Pre-Bartender."

He nods still not forgetting his curiosity. Elijah leans slightly to get a better look at her name tag.

"Listen Chloe, I'm looking for someone who might shed some light on his current predicament. She works here, Jane-Anne Deveraux. Any idea where I might find her?" Looking at her still in interest.

Looking towards her cousin she quickly replied "No but my cousin might know."

As Elijah Leaves the money on the Bar he walks across the Bar to the other older Blonde. After a couple minutes of talking he walks out as Cami walks back over to her.

"Was it only me or did he look really hot in that suit." Chloe smirked looking at her Cousin in which she only got a chuckle. "What I'm just saying."

"Hey, man, where'd you run off to? Someone put you in a mood. What can I do?" Marcel said looking at his Sire.

Klaus swiftly walks up to the vampire who proclaims himself king of the Quarter. "What you can do is you can tell me what this thing is that you have with the witches."

Marcel looked back at him annoyed having to go back to the subject. "We're back to that."

Klaus looked back at him his accent growing thicker. "Yeah, we're back to that."

Marcel looks back a semi glare on his face toward the Hybrid. "You know I owe you everything I got, but I'm afraid I have to draw the line on this one. This is my business. I control the witches in my town. Let's just leave it at that."

"Your town?" Klaus says clearly irritated by him.

"Damn straight." Marcel says as his glare hardened.

Klaus reply's back "That's funny, because when I left 100 years ago, you were just a pathetic little scrapper still trembling from the lashes of the whips of those who would keep you down, and now look at you – master of your domain, prince of the city. I'd like to know how." Chuckling towards the end of his little speech.

As around the courtyard the music stops and the crowd of semi drunk vampires watch them.

Marcel looks slightly surprised but quickly hiding them. "Why? Jealous? Hey, man, I get it. Three hundred years ago, you helped build a backwater penal colony into something. You started it, but then you left. Actually, you ran from it. I saw it through. Look around. Vampires rule this city now. I got rid of the werewolves. I even found a way to shut down the witches. The blood never stops flowing and the party never ends. You want to pass on through? You want to stay a while? Great. What's mine is yours, but it is mine. My home, my family, my rules."

"And if someone breaks those rules?" Clearly annoyed by the young vampire.

"They die. Mercy is for the weak. You taught me that, too. And I'm not the prince of the Quarter, friend. I'm the king! Show me some respect."

Klaus takes this all in for a few moments, then he vamp-speeds towards one of Marcel's men, bites him viciously in the neck, then drops him. With a quick look at the bitten vampire he begins to speak with blood dripping from his lips.

"Your friend will be dead by the weekend, which means I've broken one of your rules. And yet I cannot be killed. I am immortal. Who has the power now, friend?"

Klaus faces off with Marcel, who says nothing. After a moment Klaus smiles around at the crowd then turns and leaves.

As Klaus walks around with a bottle of liquor in his hand, drinking from it. He hears Elijah arrive, and speaks to him without turning.

Klaus says not wanting to face his brothers "Have I not made clear my desire to be left alone? "

Elijah keeping his hands in his pocket. "Oh, you demand to be left alone at least once a decade. Your words have ceased to have impact. "

Klaus throws the bottle against the floor, where it shatters allowing the liquid to spread across the floor.

Klaus turns around saying. "Why must you keep harping on about the baby? That child will never be born. In fact, Hayley is probably dead already." With a small smile on his lips.

Elijah vamp-speed up to Klaus, holding his hand around his brother's throat.

Elijah threatens Klaus. "You will not walk away from this!"

Klaus Glares at his brother trying to pry his hand off his throat. With an angry voice once again his accent grows thicker. "Let. Me. Go."

Elijah retaliates looking angry too and shouting. "I WILL NOT!"

Elijah throws Klaus against the floor breaking a table in the process. Then heaves him up again from the debris, not letting off of him.

Klaus still trying to get out of the hold that he is in looks up and says "Don't make me say it again."

Elijah glares down at his younger brother. "I will not let go. I will never let go."

Klaus grabs Elijah and hurls him against an iron rod fence. Elijah stands up fast and takes one of the iron rods. Then he walks towards Klaus, holding the rod in his hand.

Elijah looks at his younger brother with determination in his eyes. "Even if I have to spend eternity saving you from your own stubborn, petulant, vile self..."

Elijah suddenly vamp-speeds up and black hand slaps Klaus with the iron rod.

"If I have to beat you as father used to beat you, to remind you of your own humanity." Elijah back hand slaps Klaus again with the Iron Rod. "To care about anything..."

Elijah tries to hit Klaus again, but this time Klaus is faster. Klaus grabs the iron rod and golf swinge his brother. Klaus hurls Elijah a few feet back, where he falls on the ground and stays down. Klaus breathes heavily. He lets the iron rod fall to the ground and walks a few steps towards Elijah, who is still lying on the ground.

Klaus continue to walk towards him with a look of annoyance. "You're beyond pathetic, Elijah."

Elijah stared back at him wiping the blood off his lips. "Well who is more pathetic? The one who sees hope to make his family whole, or the coward who only see the world through his own fear?"

Klaus stares at his brother "I haven't cared about anything for centuries. Why on earth do you?"

Elijah stares at something besides Klaus before returning his stare back him. "Because I failed you. Because the first time our father laid a hand on you, I should have struck him dead. I made a promise to you: always, forever, family above all."

Klaus starts chuckling. Then he reaches his hand to his brother. Elijah takes Klaus's hand and stands up. "You are a sentimental fool."

Elijah looks down at the ground before looking at him "Perhaps. But I've lasted this long in spite of it, haven't I?"

As the oldest brother walks away. The Hybrid is still standing there, thinking.

Across town in a small but comfy 2-bedroom apartment lays an 18 old girl who knows she way over her head. But not afraid to give up.
