#and marinette got a notebook or something

[bloop24]

A reverse of my other prompt

Adrien was a little surprised and happy to hear about his good luck passive ability, but he took tikki's warning to heart and promised not to use it recklessly. The only times he actively used his ability was to get away from his fans or avoid his bodyguard to stay out a bit longer. However, even when he's not actively using it it still responds to his emotions, leading to situations with luka that leave him flustered and his heart beating wildly. Adrien always becomes embarrassed whenever tikki teases him about the miraculous playing matchmaker.

Marinette wasn't happy hearing about her bad luck ability, thinking that others would think she was some sort of jinx bringing them bad luck. This changed one day when chloe was being her usual self and said something mean. She was upset with her but didn't say anything, knowing it wouldn't lead anywhere, but her ability responded to her emotions and not long after chloe had a bucket of water dumped on her. It was then marinette realized she could use this, and since then she's used it to get back at chloe and on girls she felt were no good and trying to take advantage of adrien. She was confused why the ability didn't seem to work on the girls when they were around adrien but since it worked on them anyway as soon as they left him, she didn't care.

She was happy with the ability since it gave her the power to "protect" adrien from girls who were trying to manipulate him, and brushed off plagg assuring him she wouldn't go overboard. Though lately, she's noticed that he and luka have been getting really close. She liked them both, of course no one could ever compare to adrien, but she like the attention she got from luka. She brushed it off at first since there was no way adrien would be into guys, but then she saw how cozy they looked together and how adrien would blush around him. Not taking any chances she turned her attention towards luka and wasted no time in giving him bad luck.

Adrien was concerned for luka, for the past couple of weeks everything's been going wrong for him. From losing his picks and breaking his guitar strings to his notebook he writes lyrics in getting ruined, it seemed like he couldn't catch a break. When adrien was visiting him he seemed to be having a particularly bad day. Luka was breathing in and out trying to calm down so not to attract an akuma. When adrien asked what happened all luka did was point over where his guitar laid broken beyond repair. Adrien was in shock, he knew what that guitar meant to him and to see it in pieces broke his heart. He didn't say anything, he knew there wasn't much he could say that would comfort him. So, instead he sat there with him, hoping his presence would be enough.

After that day it seemed luka's luck turned around. Adrien was over the moon that luka seemed to be in better spirits, though he found it weird how for weeks he seemed to have really bad luck and now he has extremely good luck. Until tikki revealed that because he felt so strongly for him and wanting to help, a little bit of magic latched on surrounding him in a thin layer of good luck magic canceling out the bad luck surrounding him. Adrien became flustered that the magic gave away his feelings again, before sobering at the last part. Tikki explained that the bad weeks he's been having was caused because of the bad luck surrounding him, bad luck given to him by plagg's holder. Hearing this, he wanted to believe it was a misunderstanding since it was a passive ability, but his hopes were quickly dashed when she explained that the amount of bad luck surrounding him was intentional. She also couldn't help but wonder how often lady noir was using her ability if she was so comfortable using it this intensely.

The answer came when the next akuma attack happened. lady noir used her cataclysm but instead of just destroying the item it spread. It formed a sort of cataclysm dome, spreading out and destroying everything in its path. Seeing this, adrien wasted no time in purifying the akuma and casting the miracle cure. Thankfully the cure had worked, setting things right and bringing people back to life, but it was clear to him that lady noir had overused her passive ability. Running out of time before they transform back, he demanded that they meet later to get some answers. The media wasted no time reporting on the incident, theorizing that lady noir could be a danger to them because of her losing control of her powers.

Unfortunately for adrien, lady noir only made excuses about her overusing her ability saying that she had a good reason for using it. Hearing that adrien snapped, "how could you possibly justify using your ability to harass luka couffaine". Lady seemed shocked, about to ask how he could know that, but he wasn't finished. "you know, with how hard you were trying to make luka miserable i wonder who else you did this to. I'm just glad my ability protected him from yours". Hearing this, lady quickly put together that he was the reason her ability wouldn't work on luka anymore and snapped accusing him of interfering in things that weren't his business. As they continued to argue they failed to notice a civilian recording their argument. They, like everyone else, were terrified when they saw the news of lady noir losing control of her power, but to hear that the reason is because she overused her ability to hurt people in her personal life was terrifying. If she was willing to hurt people who, from what mr bug was saying, did nothing wrong, what else was she willing to do.

Consistently the funniest gag of Miraculous Ladybug is when a villain can copy Ladybug's Lucky Charm and conjure like. A weapon of mass destruction. While the original Ladybug summons something benign like a pencil or a teapot

[verabraun-art]

Alright, who snatched the Miraculouses and wished for a new animation style in the next season? ⠀ ‼️ SPOILER ALERT ⬇️ ⠀ But seriously, I’m really going to miss SAMG. The animation in the special was amazing—textures, effects, movement—everything was on point and beyond impressive! ⠀ The storyline was pretty solid too. Even though it was a time-travel episode, it felt logical. Lila’s new look? Stunning. Granny Alix? Absolutely adorable. And you know what? The yellow suit wasn’t bad at all, especially with the design nods and that final fight scene giving off serious Miles vs. Spot vibes. The music was incredible too, like something straight out of Inception. Oh, and Ladynoir, hugging with the Eiffel Tower in the background—that's exactly what we've been waiting for! Speaking of Ladynoir…

I had a feeling Marinette wouldn’t tell Adrien the truth, but I really wanted her to confess to Chat Noir! That would’ve been the kind of drama I’d be totally hooked on in the upcoming season—I’d even forgive the new animation! After 10 years, don’t we deserve at least a half-reveal? If she’d told him as Marinette, not Ladybug, wouldn’t Chat have understood? The fact that she said nothing to him made me question her character development. I mean, she gave Bunnyx’s Miraculous to Chat at the start of S5, and now everything’s back to square one? So yeah, looks like jealousy and spying are going to be real in S 6… Oh no, please! ⠀ But these thoughts on Ladynoir are probably just wishful thinking—Chat Noir will likely stay a secondary character. My biggest disappointment in the special is…

is what Marinette wrote in the notebook. ‘Ladybug = Gabriel Agreste’? Seriously? You could’ve written a fake name to throw Lila off, or even used Alya to create a fake Ladybug and set up a trap! Or written, ‘Ladybug knows who took the Miraculous.’ You could’ve even given a fake address to lead the villain into an ambush. So many ways to mess with the new villain and drive the plot forward for Season 6! It was so frustrating that Marinette didn’t take advantage of that moment. ⠀ Writing scripts for long-running shows is definitely no easy task. I’m just holding out hope that the story isn’t going the way we expect because they’ve got something bigger planned. As a special, it felt weaker than the previous ones, but if this had been a double episode and the Season 5 finale, I would’ve loved it!

Crack theory: Lila, Vincent, Chloe, Tomoe, Sublime and her family are all working together to take down Ladybug

Clues:

Chloe was mentioned by Vincent who in fact said very good things about her, that she was Adrien’s replacement in the fashion world, and both Vincent and Chloe are using the bee as their sign. In the pictures of Marinette with drawings over her face that Vincent showed, it reminded me so much of when Chloe in Evillustrator drew on top of Marinette’s face some glasses and a mustache in a drawing that Nathaniel made. Chloe HATES Marinette so it would make sense for her to be involved with everything that happened in Revelator.

Chloe and Lila already worked together back in Season 5, she wants to take down Marinette and Ladybug as much as Lila, even before she started helping Lila with her plans Chloe already loved to mess with Marinette, and now with the fact Lila has the Butterfly Miraculous, Marinette’s downfall can finally happen and I’m sure Chloe would love to be part of it.

Vincent mentioned that he was sponsored by Tsurugi Electric Cars, it’s interesting how Tomoe is associated with someone who wants to ruin Marinette’s reputation.

We already saw Tomoe smiling back in Sublimation after she made a deal with Sublime and her family, almost like she was planning something.

Tomoe helped Gabriel in most of his plans and didn’t care about putting others in risk if their plans succeeded.

After Gabriel is gone and Ladybug is lying to the whole world about Monarch’s identity, Tomoe would take the opportunity to take down Ladybug once again, and now with a new holder, she will continue Gabriel’s legacy along with Lila.

Gabriel’s death is a good motivation to continue going after Ladybug and Chat Noir and their miraculous, I don’t think Lila would be able to pull all of this without an intelligent adult like Tomoe on her side.

Isn’t it suspicious how similar the episodes Sublimation and Volpina are? Almost like the similarities mean something. Marinette in both episodes starts to follow everywhere a new girl from another country who gets too close to Adrien, she transforms into Ladybug and makes a mistake and because of that someone gets akumatized.

Ladybug breaking Sublime’s prosthesis are clearly a good reason for someone to start hating her.

We know Sublime’s mom had a grudge against her and she even got akumatized because of it, Caroline is a lot similar to Gabriel, both of them demand their children to be perfect and can’t stand any sign of “imperfection”, we know someone who was exactly like Gabriel and that was Tomoe, and we know she was involved with everything Gabriel was doing as Hawk Moth and especially when he started being Monarch, and at the end of Sublimation we see Sublime’s family and Tomoe making a deal, all of these connections and parallels could mean they’re involved.

We know that someone was watching Sublime and her family in her trial while writing something in their notebook, if the episode Sublimation is after Revelator, Vincent can be totally the guy we saw spying on them, we know that Vincent is being sponsored by Tomoe, so this means that they are working together, so maybe that’s why Tomoe was smiling, because she read everything Vincent wrote in his notebook and will use Sublime and her family against Ladybug.

All of them have different motives to go against Ladybug and Chat Noir and why they want the earrings and the ring:

- Tomoe wants to avenge Gabriel’s death.

- Vincent wants to collect as much secrets as possible.

- Lila wants to delete the Kwamis existence.

- Chloe wants to keep ruining Marinette’s life.

- Sublime and her family want Sublime to have legs.

Daminette December 2023: 22-You're Drooling

CONTINUED FROM 'HIDING IN THE SHADOWS'

Marinette had adjusted quickly to working at Wayne Enterprise part time. True to his word, Damian never mentioned her actual identity. Damian had taken to asking for some designs. She never mentioned it, but she may have enjoyed measuring him. Damian took to teasing her, claiming she needed a step ladder to completely measure him. She would glare at him and go back to her deisgns.

Marinette sat comfy in her sweater dress and legging, at her home, when the doorbell rang.

'Who could that be?'

She opened the door to see Damian.

'What is he doing here?'

"Uh, come in, Mr. Wayne." Marinette spoke, opening the door wider.

"Damian." he stated.

Mari blushed, "Please, come in, Damian."

Damian entered her place. He could see her desk littered with designs and some stuck to the wall.

"Am I interrupting?" The Wayne heir questioned.

"More of...getting a head start." She answered, "Right now, I'm taking a break."

"I wanted to ask you something." Damian declared.

"Another comission?" Marinette asked.

"Yes and no." he replied.

Marinette looked at him confused.

"As you are aware, I have to go back to Gotham for the Wayne Gala." Damian declared, "I do need a suit for that."

"Okay." Mari answered, grabbing a notebook from the counter to take notes.

"I was hoping you would accompany me....as my date." Damian stated.

Marinette flushed at his suggestion.

"Of course, my date would need a design of her own and who knows; maybe, she will gain more clients." He continued.

Marinette glared at him, "You planned this."

"I like to make sure I'm prepared." Damian answered, "You can always say no to being my date."

"Would we be co-workers?' Mari asked.

"No." He spoke.

Marinette smiled, "Then, I'd love to. I'll work on your design and make sure it's up to your standards."

Damian moved closer, "When will I see your design?"

"That night." she replied.

Damian smirked, "Then, I'll wait."

Damian sighed. He was waiting inside of Marinette's hotel room. His father had insisted that he stay at the manor, even though he had brought someone back from Paris. There was no way he was letting Marinette stay at Wayne Manor with his family.

"Marinette." Damian called.

"I'm coming!" She called back.

Marinette opened the door and stepped out. Damian couldn't believe his eyes. The Wayne heir had seen Marinette stressed out, he had seen her excited, drunk, but never dressed like this. Her dress even went with his suit. Marinette walked right past him.

"Are you coming, Damian?" Marinette questioned, at the door.

Damian nodded and opened the door for her.

The Waynes were shocked to see Damian at the gala with a date.

"I love your dress!" Selina cried out, "Where did you get it?"

"I designed it." Marinette smiled, "The same with Damian's suit."

"I take it you're the one behind his new look in Paris." Bruce stated.

"When he asks." Mari answered.

"So, he's a client of yours?" Tim questioned.

"I do have exclusive clients, but Damian isn't one of them." Marinette declared.

Selina grabbed her hand and whisked her away, into the crowd.

"Who is she really?" Bruce questioned.

"Is she a target?" Jason asked.

"She is a girl from Paris." Damian answered, "I asked her out."

The Waynes were suspicious, but they could see Damian's eyes didn't wander away off of his date.

"Baby bird has got it bad." Dick whispered.

Tim handed him a napkin. Damian took it and looked at it, confused.

"You're drooling." Tim declared.

Damian wiped his mouth only to find nothing there. He threw the napkin to the floor and walked off in the direction Marinette had left with Selina.

"So?" Bruce asked, once Damian was far enough away.

"He definitely likes her." Dick smiled.

"Tim?" Bruce pressed.

"She works at Wayne Enterprise in Paris." He stated, "Seems she works part time and doesn't really need to be there. She has a giant clientele on her own. She works in the sewing department."

"What?" Jason asked.

"Damian's date is a famous fashion designer. She makes millions." Tim declared, :She doesn't even associate her business with us."

"So, then why did the brat hire her?" Jason demanded.

"Pretty sure he likes what he sees." Dick answered, "He ran off after her, like five minutes ago."

Damian watched as many people went up to Marinette. Some were complimenting her dress. She managed to swap business cards with some of them, too. The only one to bother him was a guy who kept offering her a drink. Marinette shook her head and pushed the glass away. Damian began to walk closer when he saw the guy put an arm around her and stoke her arm. He could see she was getting upset. Damian froze when he saw they guy lean in and whisper in her ear. The Wayne heir quickened his pace. As he got closer, he saw the guy rush away.

Marinette spotted Damian and asked, "Do you mind if we get some air?"

"Not at all." He answered.

Damian placed his hand on her lower back. He felt her tense up under his hand. Damian waited to see what she would do, if she wanted him to stop. She looked up at him.

"After you." Damian spoke.

Marinette nodded and kept walking. Damian followed behind her, making sure no one else disturbed her.

"Are you okay?" He asked, once they got outside, "I saw that guy touch you."

"Yeah." Marinette answered, "He started saying how he owned a penthouse and wanted me to come look at it."

"What did you say?" Damian questioned.

"That it sounded lovely." Mari smiled, "And....I would bring my date, Damian Wayne, to join. He ran away after that."

Damian chuckled, "I'm surprised you didn't hurt him."

Mari scoffed, "I'm at your family gala. Not to mention my own reputation on a different continent."

"I see." Damian spoke, "So, what did you imagine?"

"Grabbing his arm and dislocating it, followed by a knee to his stomach and if he tried anything, a kick to the balls." Marinette replied.

Damian laughed, "You are a wonder, Marinette."

Marinette blushed at his compliment and quickly turned to look over the balconey. Damian moved to stand behind her.

"You look amazing tonight." He whispered, moving her hair to one side.

"I-Is that so?" she asked, "I'm glad I could meet your expectations."

"You exceeded them." Damian spoke, before kissing her shoulder.

Marinette gasped at the slightest touch.

"I don't think we'll have much time out here. My brothers have grasped my attraction to you quickly." Damian declared, "They are likely going to ruin the night for us."

Marinette giggled, "Is that right?"

"Perhaps we can continue this at your room, after the gala." The Wayne heir suggested.

The designer smiled, "It would be nice to.....indulge in what I have seen working with you."

"I have to say, Miss Dupain-Cheng." he whispered, "I wouldn't mind indulging, as well."

Marinette turned to face Damian, placing her hands on his chest. Damian placed hia hands on her hips and brought her closer. Marinette leaned up. Bruce opened the door and realized his mistake. Marinette quickly turned away, while Damian was glaring at him. Bruce quickly cleared his throat.

"I need you inside." Bruce spoke.

"Fine." Damian growled out, "Let's go."

Marinette nodded. Damian placed his hand on her back and led his date inside. Bruce followed at a distance. He could see Damian smiling at Marinette and if they blush on her face was anything to go by, it seemed their feelings were mutual.

'The boys were right. Damian hired someone who he wanted in the family.'

OH MY GOSH! Season 6 is here! And Cerise/Lila whoever was super creepy and amazing!

„Nothing. Hah. Nothing. You know nothing about me, about us, about them. I‘m everywhere. I‘m nowhere. I‘m a chameleon. Nowhere. You won‘t get anywhere.“

——~~~——

Not gonna lie, I really don‘t like what they did to Marinette. The girl is struggling…. We get that…. But did they really have to make her act like this? She can‘t even really keep it together als Ladybug anymore. She can be lucky that the miraculous prevents people from noticing the obvious similarities.

But back to Cerise! We don‘t see her face in the entire episode. We only have her voice but that’s enough already. After all, sound is almost more important than visuals. What would Micheal Myers be without the iconic sound. Try it. Mute the movies. It won‘t work.

But anyway. I wonder, when she akumatized that girl, this is how she handles things. She just talks and offers a solution like a good friend. Siding with her victim. She doesn’t even demand anything. No „I’ll give you that power. In return I want Ladybugs and Chat Noirs miraculous!“ No. None of that!

Also, the camera zoomed in, almost like we were going into the victims head. Is this what actually happens to you, when you get akumatized? Bah! Imagine having Gabriel in your head like that! No sir. Thank you!

Could it be, that up until now, we saw the whole process from the outside? That would be so cool. It would also mean that Cerise clearly….. goes deeper that Gabriel could.

Also, we learned something very important. Apparently, they don‘t know better yet, Cerise akumatizes people randomly without the goal to attack. She just lets them cause chaos and the heroes come out. At first.

We also learn that Cerise writes EVERYTHING down!! Like girl, be careful with your hand! That must hurt! Also she technically creates tons of evidence. If she looses ONE of those notebooks, it’s game over. Unless she writes in code….. would not be surprised.

Also the end of the episode, where she is in the café „Nothing. Hah. Nothing. You know nothing about me, about us, about them. I‘m everywhere. I‘m nowhere. I‘m a chameleon. Nowhere. You won‘t get anywhere.“

I am not sure if she completely lost it NOW, if she ALWAYS was crazy like this, or, with her disguises and all, she is completely stating the truth.

But I know one thing.

I LOVE HER FOR IT!! I can‘t wait to actually see her! Also it seems like she upgraded her miraculous, just like Marinette did with all the others. At least that’s what I heard, could be a leak. She got the guardians book too after all from Nathalie in that one episode, together with all of Gabriel’s secrets.

So yeah… the new season started…. A bit meh. I really wish they could have given us the REAL first episode. But it seems like there is something wrong with the continuity anyway. Alya and Nino interviewed Sublime‘s mom, but she didn’t appear yet…. Strange….

But anyway, we might be missing some lore here.

I am still excited for more.

Trigger Warning: Mentions of a panic-attack and past bullying

It was brought to my attention by the lovely @jasmine-the-fox that if Izuku gave Bakugo a nickname in canon, then wouldn't his childhood friends in the Tirumushi & Feline Noire AU? Welp, here's some I think Izuku would be naming them as:

Marinette Dupain-Cheng -> Macchan

Adrien Agreste -> Dri-chan

Chloe Bourgeois -> Lo-tan

Felix Graham de Vanily -> Fe-kun

Alya Cesaire -> Yachan

Nino Lahiffe -> Ni-kun

Alix Kubdel -> Li-tan

Nathaniel Kurtzberg -> Natchan

Sabrina Raincomprix -> Bri-chan

"So what is my nickname?"

Izuku was surprised at the question coming from Kagami one day, the two of them hanging out with the rest of their friends. It was mostly Adrien, Marinette, Nathaniel and Chloe, since it seems the rest of the the gang had some other things to do.

(Alya and Nino both had to babysit their siblings, Alix had a thing with her Dad and it was the same for Sabrina and her police of a father and Felix...well, Felix was having a mother-son day).

Thus, where the nickname thing comes in, as Izuku accidentally calls Marinette her nickname and Kagami caught on it. Apparently Izuku had a force of habit of using nicknames on his friends sometimes, even though he tries not to. It mostly started with Marinette, since he was still learning French and ended up calling her 'Macchan' since pronoucing Marinette was hard for him at the time.

Then it extended to Adrien, then Chloe, and then to Felix...it got to the point that it also went to school. Although Izuku mostly was picking nicknames for those he was real close with. An example was he just always called Kim by his last name and nothing more. The same went for the others as well.

Although he almost considered giving nicknames to Rose and Juleka one time, since they were close friends with Alix...

"Ah! I suppose Kagami would need a nickname~!" Marinette clapped before she hummed, "What about Kaga-chan?"

"It still seems too long. Gami-chan?" Adrien suggested, then looked to Izuku, "What'cha think? I think it's much cuter than Kaga..."

"What about Kacchan?"

Izuku was quiet for a moment, the smile he had on his face slowly falling as he stared at Kagami for a moment, his face paling. Everyone looked concerned for a moment, never seeing Izuku looking like that before.

Even Kagami felt herself shrink into herself, feeling like she said something wrong.

Nathaniel noticed how Izuku's breathing hitched, then started slowly hyperventilating and scooted closer, "Izu. Izu, calm down..."

"Why don't you take a swan dive and hope you have a quirk in your next life, eh? Deku?"

Izuku stood up quickly, knocking some of the picnic stuff and had to run off to a tree and hide, making everyone react simultaneously. Marinette calling Izuku's name in worry, Chloe yelling at Kagami with Kagami yelling at her back, Nathaniel trying to break up the fight along with Marinette and Adrien...

Adrien rushed over to Izuku to look over at him, "Izuku!"

"No, Kacchan, no, please don't explode my notebook again, Kacchan..."

The blond stood back for a moment as he watched Izuku curled in a fetal position, head over his head as if protecting himself from something. Adrien could hear how the other was dry-heaving and sobbing harshly, and that was when it clicked for the model.

'He's having a panic attack...'

"Iz..."

Adrien didn't move an inch, but he did crouch down and stared at Izuku's hunched form. He then took a deep breath, then spoke calmly.

"Izuku. It's Adrien. Dri-chan. Can you hear me?"

He waited for a moment, hearing how the sniffling had slowed down for a second, but Izuku didn't move.

"Izuku. Can you count from one to ten for me? It doesn't have to be out loud, but just do it in your head, nice and slow."

He watched how Izuku's breathing seemed to slow down a bit more, and he was relieved that at least his best friend was coherent.

"Izuku. You're having a panic attack. But it will end. I know it feels like you're gonna die, but you won't. I'm here."

"D-Dri..."

"Shh, don't talk. Take deep breaths slowly. Take your time."

Adrien waited for Izuku to get his breathing in order, being very patient with him. He heard footsteps and snapped his head towards them, shaking his head to his friends and his hand up to stop them from approaching. He saw Nathaniel give a thumbs up, before ushering the girls away and assuring them things are alright.

Adrien turned back to Izuku and saw that his friend was breathing normally a bit, although there were a few hiccups and coughs in between.

"Izuku. Do you know where you are?"

"...P-Park?"

"Okay, good. What's my name?"

"...A-adrien?"

"Yes, good. Can you tell me what color are your shoes?"

"...R-Red?"

"Nice. You're doing great, Izuku..."

Adrien continued to do this, asking Izuku what was his favorite color, favorite Dupain-Cheng treat, and so on. He waited for a few more minutes until the blond then spoke kindly.

"Izuku. Can I come closer?"

"..."

Adrien waited for a moment until Izuku was ready, and Izuku nodded his head, face still hidden on his knees. Sighing in relief, Adrien scooted closer.

"Izuku. Is it okay to touch you?"

"Yes."

Adrien didn't hesitate this time around and wrapped his arms around Izuku, feeling wetness on his shoulder immediately as Izuku held onto him and cried.

"Shh, shh, Izuku, it's okay, it's okay. I am here."

It was phrase that Izuku used when Adrien had his own panic attacks in the past.

Adrien had admitted to him along with Marinette and Chloe that he was claustrophobic. This was due to an incident of Gabriel Agreste accidentally locking his son in a closet during an innocent game of hide and seek. Needless to say, Hide-and-Seek was banned in the Agreste Manor.

Once he was calmed, Adrien asked if it was okay for their friends to come and check on them, since they seemed to be worried. Izuku accepted once he calmed down, and he was almost bombarded with a hug from both Marinette and Chloe until Adrien and Nathaniel pushed them back in case it sets off Izuku's attack again.

Kagami was afraid to come closer, her own eyes sorta puffy and cheeks red from yelling and screaming at Chloe. Izuku saw this and offered his hand out to her, waiting for her to come closer. He looked teary eyed when she didn't approach for a few minutes, although Nathaniel knocked his shoulder onto Kagami's to urge her to go to him.

Sighing, Kagami took his hand and knelt down next to Izuku, then accepted the arms wrapped around her. Izuku clung onto her as he murmured quietly, "...I don't like the nickname Kacchan..."

Kagami looked at his face and frowned, "...Did someone with that name do something wrong to you?"

Bingo.

Izuku soon explained his story. Who Katsuki Bakugo was, why he and his mother moved to Paris in the first place, everything.

Adrien, Marinette and Chloe knew tibbits of the story, but never to this extent. It really took the trio to not react badly, especially if it would attract an akuma.

But it didn't mean that mentally, they were livid. Marinette was already making mental notes on how she would curse one Katsuki Bakugo, while Chloe thought of using her connections to shame him.

Adrien...just kept the information to himself for the future. His facial expression almost resembled his father when mad.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel just looked sympathetic and silently comforted Izuku while Kagami looked angry for Izuku.

"What kind of child would tell another child to jump off a building?!" Kagami growled as she was bringing her saber out and narrowed her eyes, "If I ever bump into him again when I visit Japan...I swear, on your honour, Izuku, I will have vengeance for you--"

"No," Izuku took her hand and shook his head, "I'd rather not you waste your time on him. Honestly I...I don't even want to think about Bakugo right now..."

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, before Nathaniel spoke up quietly.

"H-How about we go to the Lourve? I bet Alix is already finished with her quality time with her father? I heard there's a cool Heroes Display that was placed up, maybe you can find out if All Might is there?"

Izuku was appreciative for the change of subject and his friends trying to cheer him up, and he smiled. Agreeing, he got up along with them and...he felt glad he had had friends like them. And his heart felt itself slowly warm. Slowly but surely, he knew what true friendship is like now, and he was healing one day at a time from the past hurts he had as a child.

As the group was leaving the park, one certain fox heard everything and smirked, as she was tapping her chin.

"So...Kacchan, huh?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The inspiration for this drabble:

So the quick changes and the reasons + fun facts:

Lila not being part of the group -> Well, going by the Volpina post,I don't think Izuku wants to be that close to her after that. Especially when we'll get to see the "Ladybug/Cameleon" post soon.

Adrien being the one to stop his panic attack instead of Kagami -> I think Adrien would be more equipped and experienced when it comes to seeing the signs and helping Izuku calm down. Him or Nathaniel to be honest. I think Kagami would be too awkward and slightly panicked as well on how to get Izuku to calm down. It's mostly because she hasn't had much friends so she wouldn't know the first thing on how to stop a panic attack.

Adrien's Claustrophobia -> Yeah, apparently when Adrien, Marinette, Chloe and Izuku were small, they were playing Hide-and-Seek in Adrien's house. Adrien made the mistake of hiding in his father's studies and hid in one of his father's closets. Gabriel came in without knowing his son was hiding in there and locking his secret closet before leaving for a meeting. Gorilla was the one that found him after an hour when Izuku, Marinette and Chloe were crying and searching for Adrien and the game was over for good.

What is Kagami's nickname now? -> Izuku decided to call her Mi-chan and Kagami is totally okay with that.

What do you think about Cerise in season 6?

For those not up to date on canon, Cerise is Lila's new name. As far as we know, it is just another fake identity. Her real name is still not know. Where she came from is still not known. Her motivations are still not known. For the sake of saving us all a headache, I'm just going to keep calling her Lila.

I'm writing this post after four five season six episodes have aired (episodes 2 thru 5 plus 11 to be specific). I haven't watched these episodes, but I did read the transcripts that are out on the wiki and I've picked up on details second hand from the few fandom blogs I follow. From everything I've heard, read, and seen, civilian Lila isn't really in season six? She makes brief cameos where she's scribbling in a notebook and saying vague threatening lines, but she doesn't interact with anyone or tell us anything new about her character. Almost all of her screen time goes to Chrysalis, her villain form. I like the way Chrysalis is written. She feels more manipulative than Gabriel which makes her feel more interesting:

Chrysalis: Hello, Maya. Forgive my intrusion, but, I seem to feel a huge disappointment. No one's interested in your drawings when they're so pretty! Do you feel ignored? Like no one sees you? Maya: Yes. It's no fair! Chrysalis: I think I know what would be fitting. For no one to be able to ignore your drawings anymore. I can give you this power. Only if you agree, of course. Maya: Yes! (stands up) Chrysalis: And what should I call you? Maya: The Illustrhater!

But her being more interesting is just an illusion. Nothing meaningful has changed. Gabriel's tactics got the job done so who cares if Lila is a little better at manipulating people? She could have Gabriel's skills and nothing about season six would change. Her tactics aren't leading to better akumas so who cares if she sounds cooler and won't tell people her name?

Yeah, that's apparently a thing in season six. Lila is being a little smarter about her identity than Gabriel was. The Illustrhater has Marinette acting like this is a big deal:

Marinette: Nothing! We know nothing! It's even worse than before! Alya: (yawning briefly) Is that so bad? I mean, we didn't know a lot about Monarch either, but he still got busted. Marinette: That's not true! We know lots of things about Monarch! He was an adult male, he akumatized 212 people in total, 99.8 percent of them in Paris. His goal was to seize Cat Noir's and my Miraculous so he'd be granted one wish. Now we have a supervillain we know nothing about, who akumatizes whomever, whenever, and who knows why! This is a disaster!

But when you get down to it, none of this ever mattered. Marinette's limited knowledge didn't lead to Gabriel's identity being outed. Gabriel's identity was outed by shear dumb luck and someone else handing Marinette the answers, so this isn't a case where Marinette has to come up with new tactics to find the villain because her old tactics no longer work. She never had any tactics to begin with!

Tracking down the butterfly would be new behavior for her character so I don't care that Chrysalis is "better hidden." It's not selling me on watching the show. Chrysalis' name being unknown just feels like an indicator of how little the writers had to work with to make her feel more threatening. There's basically nothing the writers can do to actually make her a bigger villain and so they're left with meaningless displays that the characters have to directly say are big deal to try and make the audience think that Lila is a bigger threat.

They can't just make her a bigger threat by having her do something new because Gabriel was willing to do anything to win. That makes it almost impossible for Lila to be an upgrade. What's she going to do, threaten Adrien? Akumatize Adrien? Try to akumatize Marinette? Try to break up Adrienette? Oh no! How evil! We definitely haven't seen that before...

It's not even like her tactics are harder to resist. Episode four already featured an akuma rejection:

Chrysalis: Hello. Forgive my intrusion, but..I sense a great deal of guilt preventing you from making friends. Sabrina: NO!! (breaks the connection with Chrysalis, rejecting her akumatization, as the ultrakuma flew back out)

And, while the heroes don't know this for sure, the audience already knows that Chrysalis is once again after the ladybug and the black cat because of course she is:

Chrysalis: On the other hand, if you give me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous, I'll let you keep it... forever!

Remind me, why should I care that she replaced Gabriel?

Outside of that, I think it's kind of telling that civilian Lila is barely in the show even though she's the big bad. The writers never knew how to write her well and so going the route of keeping her off screen is probably the only way to play her. I'm curious how many episodes will see her civilian form interact with so much as a single member of the main cast. My guess is not many. Get ready for a boat load of delaying tactics where the show tries to make things feel important while maintaining the status quo and keeping everything about Lila a secret.

Her character's motivation not being known worked when she first showed up, but now? It just feels like the writers don't know what they're doing. Sure, season six is a soft reboot, but it's still season six and she's been here since season one. We should know her goals by now! Hinting that she's planning something without ever giving those hints any substance just screams, "there's no actual substance! Gabriel was the better villain!"

Cerise (voiceover): Nothing. Nothing! You'll know nothing about me, about us, about them. I'm everywhere. I'm nowhere! I'm a chameleon. Nowhere! You won't get anywhere...

Sure, babe. Sure. You're super threatening and totally not just a knockoff Gabriel. I'm sure your motivations will blow us out of the water once they're revealed. After all, the reveal of your three mothers was just so amazing! Best writing in the show by far! (that was sarcasm)

Only thing that could kind of fix this is if Lila got a team or larger organization she was working with, but I'd be really disappointed if that's where the show is going. Once again, it's season six and she's been here since season one! The time to set that kind of thing up was at least two seasons ago. Without so much as a hint that such a thing exists, the introduction of it would feel like the writers are just pulling shit out of their ass and that is not the kind of story I enjoy. All my favorite stories have clear evidence that the writers had a plan from day one and stuck to it, making something beautiful. I think it's abundantly clear that Miraculous will never be that kind of story.

Fun fact: by random luck, this post was originally scheduled for the 21st, the day episode 11 aired. I delayed it a day to see if civilian Lila finally interacted with someone or revealed her goals, giving me something to comment on. Surprising no one, she still isn't really in the show. Place your bets on how long it's going to be before civilian Lila gets a motivation or even just a chance to interact with the cast! My money is on late season six at the earliest.

(Feel free to let me know if I missed something about Lila's presence in season six. The transcripts aren't out for all the episodes so it's entirely possible that she's done something I don't know about. I just didn't want to make anon wait longer since this ask is already a month old.)

Some thoughts on the trailers of Miraculous London

We don't have much time left until Miraculous World: London - At the Edge of Time premiere so I decided to write out everything about it that's in my mind so maybe that “some thoughts” is gonna be a little bit longer.

Anyways, here it comes!

First I’d like to start it from the middle and talk about the guy with the clock on their forehead

This is the person that concerns me the most.

At first glance, this person clearly has a power that associates with time. They have a giant clock on their forehead and pretty much all over their costume and might be able to jump in time as well.

Now let's take a look at this shot:

Look at their left hand. It looks like they're holding something, something thin, it looks like it's either a tablet or a notebook. It also seems like they have a pen or something similar in their right hand.

Could it be that it's the same notebook where it's written in that Ladybug = Marinette Dupain-Cheng?

It's a mystery how long they have been lurking in the dark in the Agreste mansion's basement to gain what they needed. Did they just arrive, been there during the whole fight? Or maybe they've been here much longer than we could imagine. It seems this might be the moment when this person learns who's Paris's beloved heroine, they write it down then disappear to deliver the notebook into Lila's lair.

But where's Lila? She just leaves Nooro and the Butterfly Miraculous behind like that while someone breaks in her place to deliver crucial information. Is she in the toilet or something? She'll receive the notebook eventually but this whole setup looks very suspicious. It really looks like that stand got placed precisely there so that Clock Head (I will call them that from now on) could neatly place the notebook on it. And what are those boxes?

Now let's speculate where they might have gotten their powers.

The Rabbit Miraculous

This was the initial thought when there wasn't any trailer just leaks, after all the Rabbit Miraculous is able to give its users the ability to travel through different times. But after seeing how this dude uses their powers, that is they don't use the Burrow to travel in time, it got debunked right away, so there's no point in speculating over this anymore.

But we know that the two Bunnyx that we encountered so far possess three Rabbit Miraculous. One is used by mini Bunnyx, the other one is used by adult Bunnyx and the third one is the Kubdel family heirloom watch Alix got for her birthday. Now, it's possible that future Alix still uses the heirloom if they haven't fixed hers that was damaged by future Chat Noir. But either way, there are three Rabbit Miraculous that we saw and now there's someone who could use the third one: Marinette to become Chronobug. If she uses the third one that doesn't have an owner that we know about then neither present nor future Alix have to give up theirs for this.

And I'd like to use this point to speculate on where Marinette got her Ladybug Miraculous from.

The first thought was, she got it from her future self which seems eligible but after looking at the trailers for the 63637x time I have another theory on that.

Look at this scene from the French trailer:

This doesn't seem to fit in with everything that's happening. Why would Marinette put away her Miraculous? And why put it in a drawer? She's the Guardian, wouldn't it be more logical for her to put in the Miracle Box?

Unless, it's not present Marinette but her from the past. This whole scene looks pretty much alike with what happened in "Origins" when she first hesitated to use the Ladybug Miraculous because she didn't trust herself enough to become a superhero. Present Marinette using this particular part of her past to get a Miraculous seems valid since she didn't use it for a little while here and if she takes it, it will feel like it's just gone for a moment anyways.

So, she hops in with Bunnyx's help, takes her Miraculous then gets the third Rabbit Miraculous as well and then she can become Chronobug to save the World.

Akumatization

Clock Head's power coming from an Akuma seems more likely to be the case. Anyway, I'd like to use this opportunity to draw attention to this conversation between the Kwamis and Gabriel in "Destruction":

Gabriel to Orikko: You! You can grant me any power I want. You'll give me power to travel through time!

Orikko: No you're mistaken. Time travel is Fluff's power and I can't grant a power that already belongs to another Kwami.

Gabriel: Are you trying to deceive me?

Orikko: By all means, read the Grimoire again.

Sass: Each Kwami represents a concept and each concept can only exist once in the Universe.

...

It was a very interesting conversation. Orikko can't give the power of time travel to anyone because it already exists, if I understand correctly. But what about Nooroo? Timetagger is an Akumatized villain from the future who's able to travel through time. So it looks like, while Orikko is unable to grant powers that belong to other Kwamis Nooroo's ability can give those powers, or at least it's the case with time travel.

But what about what Sass said? "Each Kwami represents a concept and each concept can only exist once in the Universe." If each concept can only exist once wouldn't that mean the Akumatization also shouldn't be able to give the power of time travel since it belongs to another Kwami? Nooroo's and Orikko's abilities are clearly very different, but that doesn't mean that different rules should apply to them in the same Universe. Maybe I just missed something if that's the case, please inform me.

Anyhow, the Butterfly Miraculous's power gives very unique abilities to the Akumatized people and that might be the reason why it can also grant powers that already exist, because they're slightly different from each other.

But if that's the case why haven't we seen Gabriel use this; not giving the ability to travel through time with Orikko's power but using Nooroo's to give a different but still essentially the same ability to either to himself or to someone else? Or...wait...hmm...

We already witnessed episodes where someone from the future comes to either mess up things or to fix it, but we haven't seen someone from the past stirring up the present. I'm not necessarily saying that Gabriel has it in him to come up with such a plan and it wouldn't even make sense that Clock Head puts the notebook with the information into the lair of the next holder of the Butterfly Miraculous if they'd be Monarch's minion.

But what if the reason why Gabriel set Lila aside was because he looked into the future with a power given by an Akuma to either him or to someone else and discovered that the future Hawkmoth Timetagger mentioned is her. Or even better, what if Gabriel and future Lila are actually working together? That the whole sacrifice he made was actually just part of their plan alongside bringing Gabriel back eventually? Or past Gabriel and future Lila are competing with each other to see who's the better Hawkmoth? Okay, these scenarios are just products of my tired brain, let's move on.

Anyways, my final conclusion with Clock Head reverts back to the future (lol).

The above setup in Lila's lair is oddly specific as I mentioned before, as if she waited for the notebook to appear right there. I'm starting to doubt that Timetagger is the only Akumatized villain that was sent from the future. Why? Lila found out Hawkmoth's identity in a way that's unknown to us. It could be just a coincidence but for a show that makes a huge deal out of secret identities, the fact that she just knew somehow feels a little odd. I think the reason she was able to discover it is because her future self is occasionally sending minions to her. Timetagger was the first, as we know, she might have had a test run with him and slowly put together a plan to gain the Cat and Ladybug Miraculouses; and Clock Head too, is someone sent by future Lila and they're the part of the ultimate plan.

But who could they be?

I wouldn't dare to speculate on the gender of the character based on their figure since we all saw instances in Miraculous when that wasn't so obvious (I'm specifically talking about the New York special here) but i just want to put these three images beside each other.

Chat Noir and Aspik have slim enough frame like Clock Head has, and of course let's not forget about the similarities on Aspik's and Clock Head's masks. Also look at them legs on Chat Noir and Aspik and now look at them legs on Clock Head:

I've read some other theories before that also came to the conclusion that this is Baldrien, I mean Adrien and I can't really think of anyone else either. At the back of my mind there's still Lila as well tho and I will write about her more below.

We all know that Adrien was in London in his white room during the fight between Bug Noir and Monarch so there's no way he could be there at the end to write down Ladybug's identity into the notebook. Except, if it's future Adrien. He's actually a very easy target to Akumatization especially if the Butterfly Miraculous holder is aware of the fact that he's a Senti-being and targeted his Amok, the twin rings specifically. And he showed us multiple times how emotionally unstable he can be. Also, future Chat Noir damaging future Bunnyx's Miraculous was really just an accident? Plus, seeing an Akumatized Adrien could be a good trigger on why Marinette will never want to reveal the full truth to him. This is the only way I can also explain these two shots:

It looks like these scenes are in the London lab where Adrien and Kagami were held captives and no one really knows about that place and what went down there. So if Clock Head is Adrien from the future he could very well hide there since he knows about that location.

Either way, whoever are they, one thing I'm certain about is that this person will be the endgame, that after Chronobug defeats them at the right time and use her Lucky Charm that will mark the end of the special, since it was them in the first place who discovered Ladybug's identity.

Now let's see the other unknown dude.

I saw others call them Ghost Guy so I'll also call them that.

When I first read the synopsis I was very sceptical about the someone has stolen the Ladybug Miraculous while Marinette was asleep part. She's very wary especially after what happened with Felix. But now seeing that the person who steals the Miraculouses is having ghost-like abilities, I'm more convinced.

Ghost Guy probably read the notes the other dude left at Lila's lair, went to Marinette's room, stole all Miraculous, not just the Cat and Ladybug one then visited her lair again to deliver them and from the looks of it they also put them into those boxes that probably got prepared for that purpose.

I also have a feeling that the glowing blue light on their hands indicates when they're able to touch something even when they're transparent.

I saw some theories on who this person might be. I've read it's either Adrien or Lila, maybe Felix. I tried to make something out of the symbol that's on their chest, hopefully it has some connection to who could this be, however it doesn't ring any bell to me. If someone has any idea about this don't hesitate to share it.

For me Lila seems to be the most logical possibility. The only evidence I have that it's her is the sheer fact that this person is standing in Lila's lair right after they deliver the Miraculouses and put them in those carefully positioned boxes, near the notebook where their accomplice, who's supposedly from the future, wrote down who's Ladybug. Not a solid evidence with a bunch of holes; both of them could be working for her for all we know.

What about with the wish then?

The end of the synopsis said this: All that remains is to hope for one thing: that Ladybug succeeds in defeating her opponent, otherwise it will be the end of Ladybug for good.

Now this could be just a figure of speech to indicate that everything will be wiped out but why only mention Ladybug when the whole World is in danger? My theory is that based on that snip of the synopsis that the wish was for Ladybug to never exist. And that makes perfect sense if the one who will make the wish is Ghost Lila, since she despises Marinette and Ladybug to the core.

A little bit more about Lila

She was there at the Agreste Mansion when the battle happened between Bug Noir and Monarch.

I assume she was there to collect the Butterfly Miraculous which seems rather suspicious, like how did she know it will be lost in the rubble? Her future self told her? Anyway, the brooch probably was her top priority and didn't have time to look around or to sneak a peek when Bug Noir de-trasnformed. Not to mention she wasn't the only one who was there, Clock Head had to be there around the same time as her.

But here is the thing: when Clock Head brings the notebook to her lair, Nooroo with the Butterfly Miraculous and the whole set up was already there. Assuming that Lila has some help from the future, she can put those boxes and the stand beforehand, but she had to bring back Nooroo in record time. And I have two more theories regarding this.

The 1st one:

The lair that we see in the trailers is actually future Lila's place. Future Lila sent Clock Head (Adrien?) back in time to gain the information about Ladybug then they delivered the notebook to the future, then future Lila went as Ghost Guy to collect the Miraculouses from present Marinette and then made a wish. I have one problem with this theory: it completely removes present Lila from the picture; also what the lair looks like is the same as we saw before in the present.

The 2nd one:

I know that above I already kind of established the Clock Head is Adrien theory but I'd like to back down from that here and say it's actually Lila from the future. Future Lila went back in time to find out who's Ladybug, while present Lila collected the Butterfly Miraculous. In present Lila's lair she already set up the stand and the boxes because she got informations from her future self about a plan where she can get the Miraculouses from the Guardian. Present Lila went back to her lair in record time with the brooch, then future Lila brought the notebook which present Lila read. Present Lila then became Ghost Guy, went to Marinette's room fetched the Miraculouses then went back to her lair and after she carefully placed the Miraculouses, she made a wish with the Cat and Ladybug ones. My problem with this scenario is, it completely neglects Adrien, since here present and future Lila work together as the Clock Head and Ghost Guy. And why would she go to the London lab?

My last question remains, why are there only three boxes displayed on the desk? There are 15 Miraculous that got modified into rings. Maybe Ghost Guy put there those that they need and put away the ones that they think are useless. Or those are not even Miraculouses? We can't see them clearly in the picture after all.

And lastly, I'd like to talk about this scene from the season 5 finale

This scene was put at the very end of the last episode of season 5, after the pool scene, but we don't really know when it happened.

If the scenes are in chronological order then what happened there has nothing to do with the happenings in the London special since the London special is before the pool scene. And that seems more reasonable to me, since when she talks with Mr. Damocles via laptop it looks like he just moved from somewhere or to somewhere which requires some time to do; and from the moment he left his job to Monarch's attack I don't think that much time has passed for him to make so much progress in moving. And let's not forget that he's The Owl, he probably helped people after Monarch's defeat to get back on their feet and didn't have much time to talk about school with anyone for a while.

In any case, whether this scene is right after she gained the Butterfly Miraculous or after the pool one, I think it's one of her visitors from the future. Or maybe Gabriel from the past.

And this concludes my speculations. What do you think of all this?

🎃😈Horror-Ween Victim #1: Marinette Dupain-Cheng🎃😈

Odeja Residence: Noelle's Bedroom

(12:00am, October 1st. Noelle sat alone in the darkness, staring at a bulletin board with pictures and notes scattered all around it. A wide, sinister grin spread wickedly across her face as she giggled to herself in a low slightly unhinged, demonic voice. With a pad of sticky notes in one hand and a red Sharpie marker in the other, she wrote "Victim #1" on a sticky note and stuck it on a picture of a bluenette girl with pigtails.)

Noelle: (speaks in a demonic voice as her grin becomes even wider at the sight of her first victim) Time for us to play a game and you’re first. Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

_________________________________________________

Dupain-Cheng Residence: Marinette’s Bedroom

(7:00am, October 1st. Marinette was gathering her things into her school bag as she prepared to head out for school when she suddenly heard her phone getting a text message notification. Marinette picked up her phone and frowned in confusion as the number was blocked. Her confusion grew even more as she read the message.)

Unknown Message: HAPPY HORROR-WEEN, MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG! LET’S PLAY A GAME!

Tikki: (looks at the message and becomes confused and concerned) Who is that message from, Marinette?

Marinette: I don’t know, Tikki. They blocked their number.

Tikki: (concerned) This is very strange. What even is this “Horror-Ween” they are referring to?

Marinette: (slightly unnerved) I’m not sure. Maybe it’s got something to do with Halloween…but just what do they mean by “Let’s play a game”?

_________________________________________________

Collège Françoise Dupont: Locker Room

(Upon arriving at school, Marinette heads to her locker, deciding to do her best to shrug off that mysterious text message she had received this morning. However, when Marinette opens her locker, she immediately stumbles back in horror and falls flat on her but as she sees the message written in blood inside her locker. The other students in the area divert their attention towards the fallen girl with confused and concerned looks.)

Nino: Marinette? You okay, dude?

Rose: Is everything all right, Marinette?

Alya: (rushes to Marinette’s aid and helps her best friend stand on her feet) Girl, what happened?

(Marinette, still in shock, simply points towards her locker. Everyone turns their attention to the message written inside the locker, now becoming even more confused and concerned.)

Alya: (reads the message): “LET’S PLAY A GAME, MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG!”?

Nino: (unnerved) Okay….that’s very disturbing.

Rose: Who wrote this message?

Adrien: Who would do something like this? And what kind of game are they even talking about?

Marinette: (wraps her arms around herself and speaks in a shaky tone of voice) I-I…don’t know….

_________________________________________________

Dupain-Cheng Residence: Bathroom

(After a long school day filled with worry and anxiety over the mysterious messages that she had received, Marinette finally had a chance to relax with a long, scalding hot shower to wash away her worries. When she was finished, she turned off the water and stepped out to grab her towel off the towel rack. However, when she turned around to face the mirror, she let out a scream of horror and fell backwards onto the floor as she saw the message written on the mirror.)

“READY TO PLAY, MARINETTE? HORROR-WEEN IS JUST AHEAD!”

Marinette: (cries out) SERIOUSLY, WHO KEEPS DOING THIS?!

_________________________________________________

Collège Françoise Dupont: Locker Room

(The next day, Marinette was still filled with anxiety and fear. Somehow someone has been sending her these creepy messages and she never knows when the next message is going to appear. So far, she had received messages on her phone, in her locker, on her bathroom mirror, in her notebook, someone even managed to write a message on the chalkboard in Miss Bustier’s classroom for her to see when she walked into homeroom this morning and slip a note into her piece without even Tikki noticing! Just who was doing this to her and why?! Was it a supervillain, an akuma? No, it couldn’t have been someone like that otherwise the messages would have said “Ladybug”. They could have been from Lila Rossi, but then again, scaring people like this wasn’t really that lying fox’s usual MO. But if not her and not an akumatized villain, then who? That was the question that plagued the bluenette’s mind throughout the day. During lunch period, the pigtailed girl had decided to retrieve her phone from her locker to ask her friends Max and Markov if they could possibly track down who sent her the message and finally put an end to this terrifying mystery once and for all. Of course, Marinette was anxious about going into the locker room alone given how her week has been going so far. She was very hesitant about opening her locker, worried about what sort of message they had left for her this time. Despite this however, the bluenette decided to face her fear head on. After all, she was a superhero! She was done letting a few creepy messages get to her! Whatever this person had left for her in her locker couldn’t be any worse than the messages they had already left for her. With newfound confidence and determination, Marinette opened her locker……and her face immediately fell into shock and horror as the color immediately drained from her face. Inside her locker she found several dismembered bloody body parts scattered on the walls of her locker. Her eyes continued to scan around her locker in horror as she also saw some very familiar torn and shredded articles of clothing inside her locker as well. But the most terrifying thing she found in that locker…..was a dismembered head in a jar that was sitting on the top shelf of her locker. But it wasn’t just any head, it was the head of Adrien Agreste!)

Marinette: (unleashes a terrified, bloodcurdling scream) AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

(The bluenette immediately bolts out of the locker room, screaming bloody murder. From the other side of the lockers Noelle Odeja steps out, laughing her ass off as she walks over to Marinette’s locker with a black tote bag in hand. She then immediately proceeds to remove the fake dismembered bloody body parts from the locker and place them into her bag, whistling a tune as she worked. She then gathers the shredded clothes that Noelle had thought her designer friend would have realized were knock-offs of the clothes that their friend Adrien wears and almost didn’t use for this prank. The clothes go into the bag as well. Lastly, she picks up the fake Adrien head that was really just a photo that was edited and laminated to be placed in a jar filled with water and yellow food coloring and puts it into her bag. Before she leaves with her items, Noelle tapes a sticky note that is shaped like a pumpkin inside of Marinette’s locker and writes a message before she closes the locker door.)

“HAPPY HORROR-WEEN, MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG! THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT SPORT!”

Day 24,! Only 1 week left 😱 prompt today is Fall in Love Alone

@maribat-calendar-events

“Marinette Dupain-Cheng, if you don't get your ass in gear and go ask Tim out I'm going to get Césaire to come beat you up,” Chloé declared, glaring down at the shorter woman.

“Why is that the threat you're going with?” Marinette asked, frowning up at Chloé from where she lay on the sofa. They were relaxing in New York for the day, Chloé having demanded her presence. It had been a pretty good day so far, watching cheesy movies and critiquing different fashion magazines.

“Because you'll listen to her,” Chloé said with a shrug. And Marinette couldn't argue the fact, so she nodded and pulled a notebook out to start plotting.

_ _ _

Dick was still telling Tim to hold off on talking to Marinette about anything serious but it was beginning to wear on him. So when she sent a message asking if he wanted to get coffee, he didn't hesitate.

When he spotted her outside the coffee shop, his heart jumped in his chest. She was wearing a hoodie that looked suspiciously like the one she had made for him, though smaller and with a subtle polka dot pattern across the pockets and hem.

“Tim! Gosh, it feels like I haven't seen you in forever,” she said, a light blush dusting her freckles. “Not been working too hard, I hope.”

“Twenty hours a day is healthy, right?” He joked, holding open the café door for her. She gave a tinkling laugh and he grinned at her as they joined the queue. She seemed slightly on edge and he wondered if she was thinking about all the times they had been interrupted by his family, like he was. “I'm sorry it's been so long.”

“Don't be, I understand needing to put other things first,” she said. “But that reminds me, I should sit down and have an actual conversation with Dick and Bruce soon. I'm sure they have questions for me.”

“Not that they're entitled to them,” he muttered darkly which made her laugh. They stopped talking to order their coffee and the silence stayed while they waited. They got their order to go and started walking through the streets of Gotham.

“Do you mind if we take the coffee back to my place? There's something I wanted to talk to you about.”

He agreed, ignoring the voice of Dick reminding him he was supposed to be giving them space to investigate. Marinette was right, he'd given them plenty of time to find anything incriminating so he had no reason not to spend time with her.

She invited him in and his eyes flashed to the window that he had entered through last time. He winced and turned away from it, not wanting to think about that evening. Marinette clearly thought otherwise because she laughed as she sat down at the kitchen table, pushing some macarons towards him.

“I'm glad we aren't fighting against a zombie this time. Getting strapped to a chair with zip ties is not my idea of a good time.”

“Noted,” he said solemnly. Then he blushed because that didn't sound as light and teasing as he'd meant it to. They were sitting closely enough that she could probably feel the heat of his cheeks. “I just- I mean- it was meant to be a joke.”

Marinette watched him get flustered and tried not to giggle too much. She had far too much caffeine and anxiety in her system, a lack of sleep from plotting and baking the night before making her more high strung than usual. So, of course, her plans went to hell as she opened her mouth again

“I like you.”

Tim's eyes were wide when he looked at her, and she steamrolled straight through. In for a penny, she thought grimly.

“I know you probably don't feel the same - god, I'm always the one that falls hard for people that don't want me - but if I didn't tell you it was going to kill me,” she said, starting to blush to her roots. 

“Marinette, wait, I-”

“And you don't have to worry about letting me down easy, it's not going to change how we work together! It's not like I haven't had time to get used to how I feel, but I thought before that, maybe, you might have felt the same. But then things haven't really-”

“Marinette, can you stop for a second?” Tim half shouted, grabbing her shoulders. Her mouth snapped closed and he let his hands slide down to capture her hands. “Thanks. I wasn't planning on letting you down easily.”

“Oh. I mean, of course, this was hugely inappropriate considering you're technically my boss,” she said, mortification creeping in. “Um, if- if you're going to fire me, I understand-”

“What? No, no, I mean I don't want to let you down at all!” He half shouted, hands tightening around hers. She blinked at him, surprised, mouth dropping open slightly. Her cheeks coloured again and he ran a hand through his hair. “God, I'm so bad at this. I like you too, and I would love to go on a date with you.”

“Oh. Huh,” Marinette said, mind going blank. She hadn't really expected him to accept. She'd really only agreed to ask him because she figured it was best to get it out there before she revealed that she was Ladybug to the Bats. “I was not expecting that.”

“Yeah, I gathered,” Tim said, brushing her bangs out of her eyes. “And we should probably work out some things, like how we're going to tell B and Dick, but…I'm happy that you feel the same. I've been driving myself crazy trying to come up with a way to ask you out without it feeling like pressure. You know, because of the whole…bird thing.”

“Oh, yeah, that doesn't bother me,” she said distractedly, waving her now free hand. “I mean, it would be hypocritical, considering my own work as a hero.”

“I think using a magical artifact once to help a team out is a little different to-”

“Oh, no, I meant because I'm Ladybug,” Marinette said with a smile. Tim blinked at her, probably having his own moment of confusion.

“Wait, you're what?!”

_ _ _

When Tim left that evening, they had a game plan and he was determined to start it as soon as possible. Marinette had apparently already put a lot of thought into it so planning had been fairly stress free for him.

Which was good, because his brain was still trying to combine the two people in his head. Marinette, the cute, passionate designer, was Ladybug, the driven, strong leader? It seemed almost painfully obvious when he thought back to the way he'd met them both but it was like his brain didn't want them to be the same person.

He grinned at his phone when she messaged to say goodnight before turning to plan out a message for Dick and Bruce.

Reverse Crush

Anddd here is today's second chapter :). I hope you like it! I am forever tormented by how little reverse crush we got in the show. I always want more haha. Lemme know what you think <3

AO3

Adrien sighed quietly, leaning on his fist as he craned his neck back to stare blatantly at Marinette. It was study hall so he could finally get away with just focusing on her. Not for the first time that day, though did he wish he sat behind her. That way, he’d be able to peek up at her periodically through the day rather than having to crane his head back awkwardly to look at her.

She looked adorable. Just like she did every day. Her tongue was stuck out of the side of her mouth as she concentrated on whatever it was she was drawing. 

Cute.

Clearing his throat, Adrien leaned forward, tapping her desk to get her attention. She looked up, her pretty blue eyes wide with shock. 

“What are you drawing, Marinette?” he asked, hopeful to hear her soft voice as she directed her attention to him alone.

Her surprise at his sudden question melted into a warm smile, and Adrien couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement.

"I was actually just sketching some of my ideas down for fashion. It helps for inspiration when I’m creating." Marinette replied.

Adrien leaned in a bit closer, intrigued by her creative process. "Can I see?" he asked eagerly, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Marinette hesitated for a brief moment before nodding. She turned her notebook towards Adrien, revealing a series of intricate designs that showcased her talent and unique style.

The first page held numerous sketches of her and her friends in beautiful gowns. They all looked amazing. When he looked at the next page, however, his mouth dried. It was him. Or, well, Chat Noir, in a few different designs from Marinette. 

Suddenly, Adrien was struck by the urge to commission her. He’d wear those designs every day. He bit it back, however. As much as he might want to, he couldn’t reveal his secret identity. Not even to someone as perfect as Marinette.

"These are beautiful, Marinette!" Adrien exclaimed, genuinely impressed. "You're so talented. I especially liked the way that you drew Chat Noir." He winked up at her.

An adorable red blush lit up her face at the compliment, and she smiled gratefully. He needed to figure out how to get her to do that more often. She looked so cute with a flush on her cheeks. "Thank you, Adrien. That means a lot coming from you, being the son of a famous designer and all."

Encouraged by her positive reaction, he couldn't resist teasing her playfully. "You know, if you ever need a model for your designs, I'd be happy to volunteer."

Marinette's eyes widened in surprise, and then she burst into giggles, her laughter like music to his ears. "Sure, Adrien. I'll keep that in mind. If ever I make one of these frilly dresses, I’ll make sure that you’re the first one I call." She winked.

His heart quickened at her reaction, feeling dizzy with giddiness.

Wink! She winked at him. How was he meant to mentally function after that?

Adrien’s grin must have looked completely ridiculous as he couldn’t stop it from stretching wide across his cheeks. “I’ll be looking forward to it,” he replied, his voice filled with genuine excitement.

As the bell signaling the end of study hall rang, Adrien reluctantly tore his gaze away from Marinette who was laughing softly at his words. He made a mental note to find a way to bring up the topic of her designs again soon, maybe during their next study hall. 

After all, she had winked and laughed at him! That had to mean something... right? He wracked his brain, trying to remember if he had ever seen Marinette wink at anyone else. He couldn’t think of any which was a very pleasant thought.

As he walked to his next class, Adrien couldn’t shake off the image of Marinette’s sketches, especially the ones featuring Chat Noir. It was both thrilling and nerve-wracking to see himself depicted in her designs, knowing that she had no idea of his secret identity.

Maybe... maybe he could sneak over to her room one night, just to commission one of those designs. After all, if Adrien was able to take a peek at her designs, he figured she’d certainly let Chat Noir, a superhero, see them as well. With that plan in mind, Adrien’s grin stayed on his face for the rest of the day.

Miracle laid in Serendipity: Unveiling the Voyage of Miraculous Bearers

The Unknowing Tale between Y/n L/n & Adrien Agreste

Chapter 02: Lunar Thorn

Previous & Subsequent Chapters | 01 | 03 | 04 | Loading...

Second — Point of View.

Perspective of Y/n L/n.

Opening the door to your first class, your body language is telling you that you've been quite exhausted these past few days. A week has passed since you became a superheroine, or known as Sekkibug. It slipped out of the tip of your tongue, when you took a moment to examine the color of your main suit and designs. “Sekki” reminded you of the color red, and the spots – Tikki was the first thing that came to your mind. In a sense, Tikki is red and a floating cute tiny bug, that you happily call your companion! A thought that initially led you into an idea, kinda surprising that you come up with something outside the box though..! It was somewhat unusual for you to be early today in your first class, it feels kind of strange. But you want to have a bit of reading time to yourself, especially on your studies.

You got a few notes from your kind classmates that were willing to let you borrow their notes, so you wouldn't get left behind. One of those classmates is Marinette. She's very shy at first, sweet and kind, she was the first person that took a minute of her time to ask if you're holding up. Or if the class is somewhat troubling you, it was a miracle. You still remember the time you're quite stunned for a moment, before letting out an awkward laugh and nodding your head.

She's also a busy student once in a while, since her family owns a popular bakery nearby. You even stopped by that one time to try some of their pastries, and goodness, it was delicious. You have to remind yourself to come back whenever you're in the mood for sugary things.

A small shuffling inside your bookbag caught your attention, you lifted it up and placed it on your lap, opening the middle strap. You were welcome by your Kwami — Tikki, seemingly she's unwrapping the neat plastic of the small bread bun. She stopped what she was doing, looking up at you with a sweet smile. “Let me unwrap it for you, Tikki..” You whisper, gently picking up the bread bun and removing the smooth laces of the plastic keeping it together. You softly unwrap the plastic from the bread bun, before crumpling the wrappings into a little ball.

“Here you go, Tikki.” You say with a soft smile, handing the bread bun to the tiny Kwami. “Thank you, Y/n.” Tikki’s face lit up, grabbing a hold of the soft bread bun with her two tiny hands, hugging it. You let her enjoy her snack, closing your bookbag and for the meantime setting it besides you until Nathaniel shows up. You grab one of your notebook, flipping the pages until it is at the current note from last friday's class.

There will be an upcoming quiz in a few days, and you don't want to score that low of a grade. You hold your pen, the tip of your nail thumb scratching at the base of the pen, creating these scratch marks that happen almost every time with your pens or pencils. You can't help it most of the time, it became a habit for you to do whenever you're trying to focus on something but couldn't exactly decipher the full meaning and reasons.

A familiar bluenette girl entered the classroom with her best friend, Alya. She seems a bit troubled or upset? And her best friend is patting her back to soothe the gloomy girl. “I don't know, Alya.. I-I just..! I can't seem to stay calm when I'm around him..! Now of course, Chloe took advantage of it when she saw the chance.” Marinette hung her head low in defeat, a deep sigh escaping her lips. “I-I.. I can't win… I'm a total mess when it comes to Adrien, what if he thinks I'm weird..?”

Marinette shakes her head, holding back tears from her eyelids. “It's not fair.. W-Why am I like this…” She walks towards her seat, sitting down and crossing her arms on her desk, burying her face in the middle. A few sniffles of soft cries come out of the bluenette, you furrowed your eyebrows at this. You know that you're guilty for listening in on their conversation, but Marinette has been kind and helped you these past few days.

You want to return her kindness in some way, seeing the sweet girl sad instead of her usual smile. It made you feel a bit saddened as well, so standing up from your seat. You make your way towards the bluenette’s desk, seeing how her shoulders are trembling as she cries. This is bad.. After your previous week being having to fight akumanization from Hawkmoth, you learned that negative emotions attract his attention.

And you may not be there all the time to prevent anyone from getting akumatized, but you can try to prevent one person from being victim to it. “Hey uhm.. Marinette.” You start off, you can't admit how sometimes you come off as awkward when trying to be involved in some type of interaction. Blue ocean eyes stare back at you, her sparkling pupils widening, as she fixes her posture and sits up straight. Trying to wipe the tears that continue to fall from her eyelids, she let out a small chuckle as if to say to not worry about it.

“H-Hi, Y/n..! S-Sorry, I'm just feeling a bit under the weather..” She lied, stuttering a bit. You gave her a small look of empathy, placing your hand onto the edges of the desk. “No, I'm sorry.. because I overheard your conversation. I know it's not my concern, but.. I want to help.” You offered, making Marinette a bit shocked by that. She slowly shakes her head, she doesn't want to involve you too, she’ll only waste your time. “Y-You don't have to.. It's just stupid.. I-I don't want to make you—” You softly cut her off, giving her a close-eyed smile.

“I insist, you are a sweet and kind girl, Marinette. If you want to be friends with Adri-en..? Then I'm sure you can! I'm positive!” It took a full minute for the bluenette girl to reply, as she blinked and averted her gaze with a blush. Ah.. you misunderstood it clearly– what is she thinking..? It works fine in her favor, she’ll feel bad if you get caught up with her awful advances towards Adrien.. but hey, you’ll still help her get close to him, so it's not all that bad.. right? Didn't know how to reply, instead she simply nodded her head shyly.

You felt a soft nudge against your arm, and you turned towards Marinette’s friend, Alya. “Oh girl- you are gonna be in for a long drive.” She chuckles, both her and Marinette sending looks from each other, merely Marinette as she lightly shakes her head with a small smile, indicating for Alya to go along with it. And before you could give Alya a giggle of your own, another student entered the room. Marinette shrinks in her seat, seeing the love of her life closing the door behind him with Nino already upfront and walking towards Alya. Her blue eyes scanned the blonde’s movement, the way he held the doorknob and his fingers slipped off of it when he knew the door was closed. And the way his hand returns back to the long strap of his crossbody bag.

She could already feel herself melting when she looks up and he stares back down at her with a gentle smile. Her heart is already exploding, The Adrien! Send her a smile first! She can't believe it..! Then she notices how his perfectly green emerald eyes switch to someone else, she slightly furrows her eyebrows before turning her gaze lightly towards where Adrien is looking at.

Oh.. you approach him? Wait- why so sudden—

“Hello, you're Adrien right?” You asked the blonde, and he looks at you a bit, slightly confused but he nods his head with an awkward chuckle. “Yeah, that's me.” Okay, Marinette wanna be friends with this guy, but wait- what were you going to ask him again? Oh- right, you came up with an idea. “Uh, Marinette kinda needs your opinion on something— uhm.” You look back towards Marinette, who went stiff and her face completely red. You look towards Alya, you were kind of indirectly asking for help to finish your sentence. You have no idea what Marinette even needs help with, Oh! Maybe subjects? You quite notice that he is good with smart stuff, you don't know. You just heard Ms Bustier call him at times and he seems to answer her questions like it was no problem.

Thank goodness, Alya notices the kind of needing help look that you were sending, and she finishes the sentence for you. “She wants your opinion on her sketches, since it's about fashion designs. We think you might be able to give her a good opinion about it.” Alya says, and you drew a sigh of relief. Adrien gazes back to Marinette, who somehow tried to avoid eye contact with him at the moment.

“No problem, I could try and have a look at it after class.” Adrien replies with a small smile, Alya nudges her friend, making her let out a yelp and try to respond to her crush. “Y-Yea— Y-Yeah..! T-That's.. P-Perfect..! I-I mean! G-Great..! Haha..” Marinette stuttered horribly, but Adrien only let out a light chuckle at that. Your stare went back and forth towards the two of them, yep– now you get why Alya always pushes the Bluenette girl towards Adrien infront of the school in an attempt for them to talk to one another.

The bell suddenly rang, attracting multiple attention from the students, signaling it's about time for them to get to class. You eventually went back to your seats like the others did, and grabbed your bookbag from Nathaniel’s spot, and put it down under the table. You’ll try your best this time to listen to the lesson, it's about time you improve at it.

🂱 🂱 🂱 🂱 🂱 🂱 🂱 🂱 🂱

A long sigh left your lips, as you exited the classroom. You hold your notebook with two hands, seeing the very few notes that you're able to scribble down from the lesson. It is progress, but you can't help but think it's too slow, you're not in grade one anymore. You should be better at taking down notes or making sense of the lesson at your age right now. You can't help but feel ashamed, but what's crying a river going to do?

You felt a tap on your shoulder, and you quickly turned around to see who it was. To your obvious bewilderment, it was Adrien. You look around to see if Marinette is nearby, isn't he supposed to be with Marinette right now? That’s strange.. You look once more, even walking away a few steps to make sure. But then you realized your actions, and how it's probably quite rude to walk away from a person who wanted to interact with you.

“Um.. sorry, I'm just confused. Isn't Marinette supposed to be with you..?” You tilt your head a bit to the side, and the innocent look in your eyes made his expression softened even more. “Alya said Marinette forgot her sketchbook at home.” Adrien explained simply, you replied with a small “Ohh..” You avert your eyes for a moment in deep thought, but then why is he approaching you out of nowhere?

You returned your gaze back at him and was about to ask — when you saw him looking down on your almost if not– empty notes. You immediately hide it behind your back, embarrassment coating your face. You gave him an awkward laugh as if wishing he hadn't caught sight of your terrible notes. “Haha— uhm! I gotta go, I just remembered I forgot–” You turn around to leave, but Adrien’s hand wrapped around your arm.

“Wait..! I didn't mean to look at your — but if you're having difficulty with Ms Bustier’s lesson.. I-I have..” He trails off, gulping down his nerves before continuing. “Some spare time to go to the library.. will you come with me..?” He asked with an apologetic look, is he serious..? You lightly fidget at the handle of your bookbag, it doesn't sound so bad.. sigh.. maybe just one last time. Y/n.. you are so helpless when it comes to your studies.. it's giving you a major headache.

“Sure.. I appreciate it…” You replied and Adrien brushed it off lightly saying it's alright. You let him lead the way while you follow up behind him, and as you both arrive at your destination. Adrien opened the door for you, letting you enter first, it feels.. well, awkward but you know he's probably just a gentleman in general.

You took a seat at one of the library table chairs, while the blonde took a seat next to you and started unpacking some of his stuff. You do too as well, getting your textbook and being careful not to accidentally hit Tikki in your bookbag. The silence was nice but quite unbearable, maybe because you weren't used to things like this. Sitting with another person in a very empty room, you were internally wishing someone would walk into the library as well. That will make you feel at ease, weirdly enough. 

The small tutoring of Adrien was not so bad, his teachings were direct and not so subtly hinting at anything like your previous classmates did back in your hometown. It made you understand it better, and there are at times where the blonde had to wave his pen infront of your face to stop your impending trance.

You always feel bad when it happens, apologizing back to him. “I-I.. uhm. I'm really sorry, it's just.. I can't keep my mind intact, I'll focus now..!” He is quite merciful when it happens though, which you are thankful for, he's nice just like Marinette is to you. In the middle of his tutoring, you lightly asked if you could grab your lunch from your bookbag as you're getting kind of hungry.

That's when you both remembered that the two of you are wasting the lunch hour inside of the library. And unfortunately he doesn't have food already prepared in his bag, so he often has to go get lunch in the cafeteria. It makes you feel guilty, and he clearly doesn't have extra time to get food and consume it before the bell rings for the next class. 

“It's nothing, I’ll just go and grab a quick snack later on after class.” He says, smiling gently at your worried face. You set your bookbag on your lap, opening it, and seeing if you have any extra of the lunch you bought. You notice two of the same neatly plastic wrapped bread bun inside your bag. You had taken the mental note to save an extra one for Tikki, just in case she got hungry again. Seems like you don't have any other choice.. you’ll just have to eat later when you arrive home.

“Here, take this. It's not much but I hope it could help soothe your stomach for the meantime.” You hand him the neatly wrapped bread bun, he was about to refuse since he feels guilty for taking your lunch, but you lift up another one before he could do so. “I have one too, so suit yourself.. It's the least I could do, you took the time to help me with this after all.” You softly smile, turning your head back to your notebook on the table. You’ll keep the bread bun aside, thinking that Tikki needs it more than you do.

“Thank you, Y/n..” Is all that he could reply with a small blush forming on his face. He silently undo the neat strings, as he soon unwraps the plastic from the bread bun. Looking at it, he wonders if this is all you bring to school as your supposed lunch. Because he's certain that not even one person could be full for eating just this.. He took a slight peak in your direction, as you were pressing the top of your pen next to your cheek.

He lowers his gaze, seeing the other bread bun is put aside next to your pencil. Didn't you.. say you were hungry..? You slightly open your lips and start to turn towards him to ask a question, causing him to get a bit startled and fix his posture. Clearing his throat and taking a bite of the bread bun on his hand, you almost caught him staring, and heavens he felt his heart race.

Although, seeing Adrien taking a bite of the food you offered, you think of waiting for him to finish chewing or eating before you could start with your question. “Hm..? Y/n, you need something?” He still notices your hesitation though, leading up to you replying back with a small shake of your head. “No, nevermind..” You say, focusing back towards your notebook. His expression slightly faltered and was about to point out the topic that your pupils had drawn onto since the last two minutes.

However he didn't get to, when suddenly the entire lights shut out. Turning the room completely dark, and the daylights from outside somehow changed into that of night skies. “Y/n—” He carefully lifts his hand up and moves it forward to feel if you're still there, and you feel his touch landing on top of your shoulder, making you jolt a bit not expecting it. “I'm.. here.” Adrien mumbled an apology under his breath, removing his hand from your shoulder.

“I think there is—” A loud noise immediately made both of you cover your ears. The lights flickering and flashing red across the room, and the noise– it was making your ears bleed by how loud it was, sounding like an emergency alert system. “A-Adrien..!” You squeeze your eyes shut, wanting it to stop. And despite the painful sound, Adrien looks over towards your trembling form. Taking the initiative to remove his hands from his ears. Pulling you towards him, putting one of his arms behind your head and his other wrapping across your back.

He gritted his teeth, still hearing the blood curdling sound emerging from the walls. And it felt like forever when it finally died down, replaced with that of a voice. “Greetings, Citizens of Paris! I have come to alert you today with spectacular news!” There was a hint of excitement from the loudspeaker, more of that than a sadistic laughter.

You gripped onto the fabric of Adrien’s clothing, still keeping your eyes closed. Both of you were still recovering from the painful noise, but connecting the dots.. that could only mean one thing. You try to control your uneven breathing, eyes fluttering open, as you attempt to pull yourself up. But your classmate’s tight grip on you didn't budge.

“Are you.. hah.. are you alright?” You hear his voice say, as he is too — is gasping for a bit of air. You didn't get a second to respond, as the voice from the loudspeaker continued his speech. “I am Lunar Thorn, and here I announce to you that we're going to be playing a simple game.” The lights continue to flash red, causing a bit of dizziness from you.

The suspense didn't take long as the one speaking declared his chosen game. “It's called — Spare beyond Tears! It's very simple, Ladies and Gentlemen! You see, life is a valuable thing..” Your eyes widened upon hearing that, Adrien slowly let go of you, holding both of your upper arms as he saw the raw fear in your eyes.

“Y/n, don't be afra–” His attempt at reassurance soon got cut short, as you quickly got yourself off of his hold, standing up from the seat. “Stay here, I'm going to see if I can ask for help..!” You say, grabbing your bookbag, not caring if you left some of your stuff behind. You just need to get into a hiding place where you could transform.. the way the akumatized victim is talking about.. the delicates of a life.

You could already feel your skin crawl, you're not letting him hurt or take an innocent life. The hint says it all, that villain is not to be taken lightly. You and your teammates need to stop that villain, and stop him fast. You speed up your pace, and you hear your classmate's voice call out behind you, reminding you how it's dangerous. And it may not be enough, or a stupid way to comfort him. But you said it nonetheless. “I’ll be careful, I won't take long..!” With that, you ran out of the library, leaving Adrien behind. You have to swallow the note to come back for him once you finally transform, and hide him where it's safe.

—

The urge to follow after you and lead you back was almost impossible to resist. Don't you understand how risky it is..? You're putting yourself in danger on your own.. What if something happened to you? Understanding you was more difficult than what he initially thought, and it is possible since it's the first time he actually interacted with you.

And at first he thought you were terrified with the way you stared into his eyes. And maybe you are.. but just for a different reason. Still, your safety is on the line, and if he as Adrien aren't able to ensure your well-being. Then likely Chat Noir can.. he will make sure of it. The good side of this situation was the library was empty, and looking at the counter, the librarian seemed to have left as well. Giving him a chance to transform.

His Kwami flew out of the inside of his jacket, floating infront of him. “I'm not sure if I should be surprised by that girl’s courage or should be concerned.” Plagg comments, crossing his tiny arms. “Not much time to think, we need to find her and bring her somewhere safe.” Adrien replied, taking a breath. “Plagg, claws out!”

☕︎ ☕︎ ☕︎ ☕︎ ☕︎ ☕︎ ☕︎

Using your yoyo, you swung yourself into one of the house rooftops. Having a proper lookout at a higher spot, the repeatedly flashing of red lights wouldn't stop. And the city feels like it is currently in a huge outbreak, and there may be a slight truth to that. You need to find where that akumatized victim’s location is before you could come up with anything. But right now, you need to contact your teammates on the run. You’ll come and meet up with them soon enough, but you still have one thing to worry about.

You gave two of your teammates a call, putting the screen of your yoyo to your ear, waiting for them to pick up. And once they did, you let out a sigh of relief. “Multimouse, Chat Noir! I need your help, can one of you find out where Lunar Thorn’s location is?” You say, swinging by and dropping down the building, eyes scanning in hopes if you could catch a glimpse of the villain on the way. “I’ll be on it, Sekkibug..!” Multimouse replied, but the other feline on the line didn't respond for a second, before he finally did.

“I might be late, Cuddlebug! A boy said that a girl named Y/n ran out to call for help, he needs me to make sure she's alright!” Chat Noir replied, running out of the school building, making sure not to bump into any panicking students along the way. You almost choke on your own saliva when you heard his reason, gulping down your nerves. Wait- so Adrien must've met Chat Noir nearby, hopefully the feline already hid your classmate somewhere safe in the course of their meet-up.

“Cuddlebug, you there?” You broke out of your small trance, replying with a nervous tone. “Yeah.. I'm still here..! Scratch that– I already kept the girl somewhere safe, she's the one who asked me for help!” The masked feline only gave you a confused remark. “Wait so she's safe, right?” Chat Noir questions, seemingly needing concrete confirmation. You nod your head, although feeling a bit dumb since he can't really see that, so you quickly replied. “Mhm..! She asked me to go and check if—” You didn't get enough time to finish what you were saying, when you suddenly bump into someone.

You were close to dropping your yoyo in the process when a knowing sharp claws made contact with your skin suit, as the person’s hand wrapped around your forearm to keep you from falling. You lift your face up to see — “Chat Noir..!” Well what a coincidence, you didn't expect to bump into your feline teammate. His lips form into that of a smirk upon realizing it's his one and only Cuddlebug.

“Did you miss being in my arms, Cuddlebug?” He pulls out a teasing line, which earns a raise of your eyebrow, here he goes again with his flirtatious acts. You still wonder if he's just like that at heart, and you are indeed convinced. So you never really paid too much attention when he pulls out a pick-up line or two. “Is the boy named Adrien safe? I suppose you already got to him before I did.” You pointed out, backing a few steps to create some proper distance between the both of you.

Squinting your eyes, trying to ignore the looming repeat of the flashing red lights. “O-Oh..! Yeah- he's completely safe.” He says, scratching the back of his head. “Sekkibug! Who’s causing all of this, have you found out yet?” A female voice yelled once she caught sight of you from a few steps ahead. You turn around, seeing a brunette girl with glasses, her phone up and recording despite the difficulty of actually catching a visible view.

Alya..? What is she doing risking her safety again? You are pretty impressed by her determination when it comes to her blog, but sometimes you're just a tad bit worried that something bad might happen to her one of those times. “Alya, we're not sure yet.. but rest assured that we’ll do our best to stop Lunar Thorn immediately.” The brunette girl almost couldn't contempt her giddiness when you said her name.

You put a hand over her shoulder with a soft but worried look. “Please get somewhere safe in the meantime, don't injure yourself now.” You throw in a warm smile, before letting go of her shoulder and walking past her with your yoyo in hand. Spinning it in circle for a second then shooting it up until it clung around something. “Don't forget about me, Cuddlebug!” With that, you pull the string of your yoyo, swinging you up high to your pointed destination, as the masked feline follows along. Pressing the middle of his staff, gripping onto it as the height let him traverse around much faster.

You continue running and jumping from rooftops to rooftops, momentarily looking at the screen of your yoyo. Fortunately, Multimouse figured out where Lunar Thorn’s location is, now all you need to do is get to where she is and hope the akuma isn't that harder to find. With your other teammate tailing up behind you, the sight that became visible now that you are in line of vision of it, made you halt at the edge of the house rooftop.

Is that what you think it is?

The clear crying of people now reaches your hearing, sounding as if they are mourning on command.. or in this case, by force. And the main center of it all, is a male with dark inkling markings under his neck, connecting to the middle of his heart. He wears a hat with a suspicious looking envelope sticking at the side of it, supported by the thin fabric that's wrapped around the hat.

You could see his hand move to the pocket of his suit, pulling out an odd looking card. It was getting hard to see, but he walked by a number of people, stopping by a trembling young girl. She has her head hanging low, afraid to look up from the ground, gripping onto the soft plushie in her hands. Lunar Thorn sent the young girl a sharp glare, about to lift up the card between his fingers and offer it to the trembling girl.

When a voice made him stop his movements for a second. “Your ceremony ends now, Lunar Thorn!” You yelled, dropping down from your spot, and standing your ground against the villain himself. “Ah.. Sekkibug and her puny kitty cat have arrived at my wonderful ceremony.” He smiles darkly, staring at your feline teammate from behind you. Chat Noir sent him a glare, slightly gritting his teeth at his comment, but it quickly disappeared as soon as it appeared.

“Where’s that little mouse? Isn't that feline supposed to get rid of such pests, what kind of cat doesn't know its own job?” He let out a laugh, he's slowly getting on the blonde’s nerves. You turn slightly to look at your teammate, opening your lips to say something but he already beat you to it. “Ehh, too simple and bland! Is that why your ceremony became a past-tense me(ow)mory?” He remarked with that knowing grin building up his lips.

Lunar Thorn furrowed his eyebrows immediately, glaring into those sharp green eyes. Grabbing a hold of the young girl’s hair, it instantly activates your instincts — throwing your yoyo in his direction but he quickly dodges it with ease, only making the little girl scream out in pain. “Let go of her!” You demanded, not wasting anymore time and dashing towards him.

You so wanted to get rid of the evil grin on Lunar Thorn’s lips, he lifted the little girl’s hair even more, just enough so he could present the card in his other hand infront of the girl’s eyesight. Whispering, “Read your invitation number.” As his words reach her ears, she suddenly feels that she’s unable to control her actions. There was an attempt to refuse his command but it was futile by how her trembling eyes started shedding delicate tears nonstop, her voice being forced to read the numbers on the card. Letting go of her plushie and holding the card with her two hands.

Aware of your impending attack, Lunar Thorn swiftly pulls out another card from his suit pocket. Facing it towards your direction, but the timing was just right when you threw your yoyo at him again and it landed right at the card, his attempt failing. He didn't dare move from his position, as if tempting you more to come close and attack him. And since it was in the heat of the moment, you did.

Multiple voices fill your head, nearby people who were still crying uncontrollably held out their hands at you. Holding your shoulders, your arm, even some in a desperate way to obey the villain’s command drop down to the ground to catch a hold of your ankle. And all the words that came out of their mouths were full of despair, chanting your name, begging you to release them.. save them.

“Sekkibug..! I-I please help us..!”

“Please! F-Fix this..! I-I can't.. think.”

“Save us.. Free us..!”

You struggled to break free, thankfully the yoyo from your other hand is still free, throwing it towards a nearby street light before pulling yourself off of the people tightening grip, it came out more successful than you thought, when you notice that Chat Noir was trying his hardest to fend off some of the hypnotized people from you. Granting you that escape.

Releasing your yoyo from the street light, you scan around to see if Multimouse is anywhere to be found. And fortunately enough, you caught a glimpse of that familiar gray and black suit. You were about to call out for her, when she suddenly put a finger against her lips. You kept your mouth shut, averting your eyes from her direction just in case. You don't know what she was planning but it ended up short-lived when one of the weeping people yelled out the mouse heroine’s name alerting Lunar Thorn’s attention.

She immediately ready her weapon at hand, locking eyes with the villain himself. Both of your teammates are completely occupied, surely it's enough time to let you activate your – “Lucky charm..!” You threw your yoyo upwards, as it created an item. A UV flashlight..? You turned it on, revealing the purple light. Now, in this case, you and many others are probably tired of lights. Especially the majority of it earlier on, and even as of now the flashing red lights makes you feel sick to your stomach.

You look around for hints, although as you look back towards the UV flashlight on your hand and look back around. You can't seem to find any clues, until you hear a maniacal laughter and Lunar Thorn heading towards your direction, demanding your miraculous. You point the UV light at him on impulse, as a result of him trying to cover his face but it was already too late.

“H-How dare you, damned pesky bug!” Your eyes widened when he returned to look at you, his other pupils now painted with a dark substance, dripping from his eyelid down to his chin. All of a sudden, the flashing red light around the city comes to a halt. Only the dark skies remain. With new information, you start to place the puzzles into the correct spot.

This whole scenario is living up to his experience, his own delusions! It's like reliving the situation he went through, but he could control what happens in this given time. And some parts of his suit, accessories could potentially be the main source of certain things! It may not be noticeable to the naked eye, but the UV Light can definitely reveal it.

You spin your yoyo, preventing any of his attack, you take off running towards the blonde feline. You're gonna be needing his help for this last second plan that you came up with inside your head. “Chat..!” You called out, making him spare a quick turn of his gaze towards the direction of your voice. “You called, Cuddlebug! I need a bit of help over here..!” Right– he has been trying to defend against the swarming people without causing that much damage to the poor innocent civilians.

You swung your yoyo around a couple of them, trapping them, making it a struggle for them to move around, pulling on your string to get them away from your teammate. “Thanks, Cuddlebug!” You gave him a nod, signaling him to follow you, along with Multimouse who's having a bit of trouble getting away from the scene. “Let's go, Multimouse needs our help!” You say, undoing your yoyo and sprinting towards the direction of the bluenette, with Chat Noir trailing up behind.

It took a bit of time, but you, Multimouse and Chat Noir got into a more peaceful place with no one trying to chase after you all. “Okay, so I'll explain it quickly.” Looking at both of them, before lightly throwing the red and black dots covered UV Flashlight upwards and to the direction of the bluenette heroine. And she catches it with ease but with a bit of confusion on her face. “What is this for..?” She asked, turning the UV flashlight and pointing it on her palm.

“Is Cuddlebug planning to throw another flashing light party?” The feline hero jokes, crossing both of his arms with a chuckle leaving his lips. “Oh I think we had plenty of that already, this is for a different reason.” You say, before continuing the discussion. “The UV light affects the villain's accessories or per se’ his source of power. If we make the original range of the UV light much larger, then I think when we shine it against Lunar Thorn. We’ll have a better chance of hitting a specific source, maybe even the main one! Which is where the akuma is hiding!”

Progressing to the right direction is all that you could ever ask for at this point and time, even if you try hard to set your mind straight and not towards the.. loud sobbing of the innocent people just right around the corner. Just.. the thought of shedding tears continuously, they could be hurting for all you know…

“Sekkibug?”

“Cuddlebug..?”

Both of your partners say in unison, and you blink a couple of times at them. “Huh..?” You muttered, and suddenly the masked bluenette giggled awkwardly at the coincidence, although the feline only looked at you with slightly bothered emerald eyes. He's not very keen with you suddenly spacing out, and he did hint on it once the previous week. It's not like he hates it, but it made him feel uneasy. Every time you do that, he comes around the thought that you may pass out one of those times. And even if it seems very unlikely, it makes him feel worried nonetheless.

Maybe you're pushing yourself too hard.. his slit pupils took a moment to observe your figure, when you come to your senses you seem fine.. the way you form a small presenting smile, apologizing and coming back to the importance at hand. Perhaps he's just overthinking it, and there isn't anything wrong going on with you at all. Still.. What if you space out in dangerous times? What then..?

When you call out his name, he tries to wash away the filling thoughts inside his mind and gently grab your hand and kiss the back of it. He will never get tired of that innocent face you made whenever he acts quite unpredictable at a serious matter. Besides the building bewilderment on your face, he gives you a close-eyed smile, acting clueless at what he did, and tilting his head to the side before asking.. “Milady, could you purlease repeat what you said~? I think I got hypnotized too, my poor heart is suddenly accusing you!” He dramatically says, putting a hand over his chest where his heart laid.

You let out a soft sigh at the masked feline’s quite questionable statement. Giving him the benefit of the doubt and again going to attempt to explain his part on the mission. “Alright, I'm going to explain it again, no more getting distracted.” Well.. is his Cuddlebug being ironic right now? If you hadn't kept continuing to make his heart race whenever you lost yourself in a trance, maybe he could take up on that advice. But for the meantime.. he sent you a genuine smile, nodding his head.

“My eyes are only set for you, Cuddlebug.”

For some reason.. you're starting to feel a bit uneasy under his watchful gaze.

☘︎ ☘︎ ☘︎ ☘︎ ☘︎ ☘︎ ☘︎

“Multimouse, now!” You shouted, the masked bluenette nodded her head as she turned on the UV light and flashed it against Lunar Thorn. Luckily, one of the individuals that you came across along the way had a spare handkerchief that you were able to use for the range of the UV light to become larger. So all you needed to do was wrap it around the main source of the UV light and once you turn it on, it has a much wider range. Just like how you plan it to be like in your head.

“What have you done! You ruined everything..!” Lunar Thorn snapped, his expression falling as he saw the surrounding that he created slowly disappeared. “You’ll regret thi—” His statement was cut short when a certain feline intervened. “I’ll be taking this, thank you!” The angered villain gasped, seeing his hat taken swiftly by Chat Noir and with all due time, switched it up to his other hand where his Cataclysm is currently activated, turning the hat into dust in seconds, followed by the distinctively placed envelope at the side of it.

Soon enough, a familiar dark and purple butterfly emerges from the damaged envelope, granting you a small sigh of relief now that it's finally out. “We had seen through your tricky disguise, evil Akuma.” You glide your finger on the middle of your yoyo, causing it to unlock evenly, latching the strings onto both of your pointer fingers before undoing it and spinning the yoyo in a circular motion. A bright smile coloring on your confident face. “Don't fret now, and face Justice..!” With that, you precisely target the escaping butterfly, landing a quick capture of the Akuma.

“Trapped ya’!” You took a heave of breath, looking down on your yoyo then pressing on it to release the newly white butterfly, letting it float out of the dimension. “Fly high, purified butterfly.” You gesture your palm under it softly moving your palm up with the butterfly, staring up at how it continues to fly up into the sky. “Here, Sekkibug!” You turn towards the feminine voice, as the bluenette heroine proceeds to throw you the red and black dots covered UV Flashlight. You held your hand up, catching it as your fingers wrapped around it. You bring down your hand, staring up into the blue sky before throwing the item up into the air. Firmly shouting —

“Miraculous Ladybug!”

The bits of destruction that Lunar Thorn himself had made have been turned back to normal, multiple tiny ladybugs flew – cleaning up the mess around the city. And most importantly, turning the many people that become victims to the akumatized person back to their original state. Eventually the villain has been back to his normal appearance, opening his eyes and looking around his surroundings with evident confusion.

“Pound it—!” Both Multimouse and Chat Noir fist bumped, thinking you would also join in undoubtedly but the two of them blinked. Seeing you walking towards the bewildered victim on the ground pavement. “Milady..?” Chat mumbles under his breath, eyeing your gentle placement of your hand over the male’s shoulder. “You okay sir? Here, let me help you up.” Your lips curl into a soft smile, lending your hand towards the man.

He nods and replies with a small appreciative thank you, taking your hand, as you pull him up from the ground. “Thank you, Sekkibug..” Said the brown haired male, as he used his other hand to dust himself a bit. “It's my pleasure sir.” A beeping sound coming from your earring alerts your attention, as you place one of your fingers on top of it, hearing it beep again. “It appears I may need to go, time calls.” You gesture a small wave at the man, before turning around.

However a yelp fell from your lips not expecting to bump into someone from behind you. Gazing upwards you raise one of your eyebrows – “Chat? Didn't see you there..” You laugh lightly, he gives you a somewhat smug smile. “Seems like Milady needs to work on more of her surroundings~” He pointed out, stealing a quick soft pat on top of your head. “Silly Kitty, this doesn't count..!” You chuckled, smoothly passing by him, readying your yoyo in hand. As you throw it far out forward until it wrapped around something.

“I’ll be heading out now, you and Multimouse should too. Your paw charges are running out.” You say, pointing down and indicating the beeping bars on his ring. The blonde follows your gaze, lifting his hand up where his ring is. “You got me there, Cuddlebug.” He smirked, as you lightly shook your head at his smug expression. “Be careful now, Luck out!” With that, you pull on the string, as you let your yoyo propel you forward, and further into the city.

Multimouse sends a wave at your distancing form, as she spares a glance at the masked feline. She was thinking of saying a swift goodbye before heading out on her own way. But she immediately second guessed that thought when she saw how ogle drawn her male teammate is – staring helplessly at the direction their bug partner traveled towards. She gave him a sort of questioning look, as she sighs and lightly facepalms herself. She’ll just leave him be inside his dream state, none of her concern now.

—

You turn your head to each side of the small alleyway, making sure the coast is clear. After a few seconds, you close your eyes for a moment, faintly saying – “Spots off..” There was a swift moment as you changed back into your civilian form. Your Kwami flies out of the earring, and you lay your palms slightly forward for Tikki to rest upon. “Nnh — Y/n.. hungry…” The red Kwami mumbles, and you urgently pat your pockets and waist for any food. But sadly there isn't any, you feel foolish remembering you left the library in a hurry. And leaving the only extra bread bun that you saved up for Tikki..

“T-Tikki.. I'm so sorry, I forgot–” You cut off your own words, sighing in guilt as you pull out your handkerchief, covering it around your tired Kwami. Avoiding wasting anymore time, as you bolt out of the Alleyway and into the path to your school. You look both ways on the road before crossing the pedestrian lane, you desperately need to get to where you left your bookbag. There's some extra cash that your mother has lent you for when you need to buy some things along your way to school. You could use that to buy Tikki something affordable at the moment. Or you could stop by the convenience store that you made a habit of returning to.

“Wait- oh Y/n..! Over here!” A familiar voice calls out, waving her hand up towards your hurried figure. “Alya..?” You slow down your pace, scratching the side of your cheek lightly as you give her a nervous laugh. “Girl, you also missed what happened! It was kind of terrifying, but hey- Sekkibug, Chat Noir and Multimouse showed up to save the day!” She shoves the screen of her cell phone closely infront of your face, letting you view the video that she took in the middle of the chaos.

“T-That's awesome.. haha. I- just.. uhm- ended up hiding.” You lied, scratching the back of your head. “You should muster up the courage next time! I'm telling you- make it a once in a lifetime opportunity!” She advised with an energetic smile, unable to refuse – you just nodded your head as your reply. Gently pressing your worn out Kwami to your chest, in a way to hide her from the view of the dark reddish brown haired girl. You don't have the capabilities to come up with a perfect lie when it comes to that. It’ll surely be a hassle to explain.

“Um.. Alya, I gotta go.. I forgot something in school.” You really need to go now and retrieve your bookbag, maybe even return to the library to see if some of your stuff is still there. Especially the snack you saved up for Tikki, you’ll just have to make it up to Tikki and maybe stop by the nearby bakery to buy her some sweets. Sounds like a fair plan, you owe it to your little Kwami. “Okay girl, see ya!” She sent you a wave, and you returned the gesture – waving back at her.

Turning around and speeding up your pace once more. You take a small peak at Tikki, anxiously scrunching your eyebrows at her current state. “Hang on, Tikki.. we're almost there.” You murmured under your breath, trying to reassure the tiny Kwami. Maybe you're saying it more to yourself than it is to Tikki.. because you can feel your heart quickening in impending panic at the idea of not being thoughtful enough towards the needs of your Kwami. Heaven knows you need that comfort even if you're only saying it to yourself.

“Wh—ah!” Turning the corner, you didn't expect to stumble into someone. The person drops the thing they were holding, making it collide with the floor creating a thud. You instinctively reach out for the person’s clothing when you are trying to prevent yourself from the possibility of falling backwards and meeting the ground. While still trying to gently secure Tikki in your other hand. You felt the person’s hand snake under your back, supporting you from falling. Some of the students nearby came into a halt at the accident, some started whispering after a few seconds.

“Y/n..?” Out of all the people that you could've unluckily bump into.. it has to be him? You already cause him enough trouble, and you're stacking it up even more.. What is wrong with you today..? After the realization strikes into your system, you hastily get back on your footing and step back. Out of shame, you bow your head even if it's embarrassing enough to do so with many eyes lingering around the both of you.

“Ah.. you don't have to do tha–” He tries to reason, but it doesn't make you budge and stays completely still. “It's my fault, it's only right…” You replied, catching a glimpse of Tikki’s sleeping figure in your handkerchief. You slowly lift yourself up from bowing, presenting the blonde an apologetic smile, before excusing yourself from the scene. “Wait a second..!” You suddenly felt a hand snatch your wrist, causing you to turn back and face Adrien.

“I.. came across this. I think this is yours..?” Your gaze slides down to the bookbag that he picked up from the ground earlier after the collision you both had. How have you not noticed..?! You were too lost in your own headspace to be sparing any of your surroundings and rethink, maybe your feline partner was right after all…

“Y-Yeah.. uhm. You're too kind.” You retrieve your bookbag, every word you say or every move you do.. you can't deny the fact how you probably look like you're always all over the place. And you won't blame them if they do start to think so. You motion another quick bow, and turn around before he could say anything back. All that matters now is your tiny companion in your hand, nothing else. You position your bookbag under your armpit in order to open it without much struggle. And once you succeed, you carefully put Tikki inside – gently so as not to let any slightly sharp items that will come in contact with the Kwami. Worriedly drawing your pupils at her, before finally having it in yourself to close your bookbag shut.

A shaking breath ghost out from your lips..

You can't do anything right…

Under The Mistletoe

Nathaniel P.O.V. It's Christmas in Paris all is cheery and bright- Also this is also based on a fanart I saw on Pinterest that I barely remember seeing and not about to go back and search for the account. Yea...

‘It's Christmas time! Yay! The school is hosting a formal Christmas party thing two days before Christmas. And currently it's four days til Christmas. So two days until the party. Not like I'm excited about socializing. I just wanna see Marc. He's been busy all Christmas break so far so I haven't got to see him since school ended. I miss him so much. 

I'm currently in my room doodling. I find myself sketching Marc under some mistletoe. I've drawn Marc a lot in my book. Like half the pages are just him. Why can't I get this boy out of my thoughts? And I can't even rant to Alix cause she is gone. Off superheroing. Ugh. Another person who fills up a good bit of my notebook is Roaster Bold. As a celebrity crush, yea I got a thing for him. Working beside him whenever we both show up for a villain fight is so awesome and he's cute- not as cute as Marc though.

Ugh. Why why why did I have to get a crush on Marc? My parents would be so disappointed if they found out about it. Which hopefully they never do. Cause I'm planning to get over him. I mean it's not like he likes me back right? But every time I see him I fall for him a little more. There's just something about that quiet shy boy that draws me in with his adorable sheepish smile every time. 

He is just so pretty, cute, adorable, amazing, talented, beautiful, did I say pretty? His eyes are literal emeralds, and they are so pretty. Ugh I wish I didn't have homophobic parents. Maybe then I'd have the courage to tell Marc how I feel? At this point it feels like it would be easier to tell Roaster Bold lol. But Ladybug wouldn't approve of superheroes dating each other. 

As I look at the doodle, I realize I had drawn Marc in a dress. I blush at the thought. He had told me he was gender fluid a while ago but not really shown it much other than wearing makeup. But the thought of Marc in a dress makes me blush and I would love to see him in one. I'm sure he would be cuter than this drawing of him in one. He would look amazing. I sigh dreamily, getting lost in my own little world, not watching what I was drawing. When I look down it made me blush so much. I ripped the page out and hid it in my backpack. I drew me standing in front of Marc under the mistletoe. 

I thought about throwing it away but I couldn't bring myself to. I have it bad for this boy. But I just wish he could love me back. I hate this feeling. The feeling of being in so desperately in love it hurts and having no clue if he likes me back or not and not being brave enough to say anything because of people like my parents. 

On the bright side tomorrow I go to Marinette's to pick up the suit she made me. She told everyone she would make their outfits cause she wanted to. She is so kind. I'm one of the last people and I'm fine with that. I mean she spent her whole break so far making us outfits we'll probably only wear once to a party. Honestly that's why I had a crush on her earlier in the school year. But I'm over her now. Marc is the only one on my mind. Ugh how did my thoughts circulate back to him?

Alr time skip to next day and Marc P.O.V. Yes this is rushed cause I don't know what to put and I wanna get it over with cause I didn't wanna write it in the first place. My brain told me to.

I was currently at Marinette's trying on the outfit she had made me. "Marc! You're here!" Marinette greeted. "Hi." I smile shyly. "Okay you said you wanted a dress right?" She asked me. I froze. Huh? I never said that. "W-what?" I stutter. She looks at me. "You didn't say a dress? Alya was the one who asked you and she has it written you wanted a dress. This is why I need to call and double check." She sighed. "Well, it's kinda too late now." She added. I just nod. "I-it's fine." I stutter. A dress? I have to wear a dress? Not that I mind it's just... what will people think? 

"Here, go try it on." She prompted, handing it to me. Honestly I don't mind wearing girls clothes since I'm gender fluid but- I'm scared of getting bullied. Last year I was at a different school, I had transferred to DuPont this year because I was bullied last year for being gender fluid and gay. I still haven't told anyone other than Marinette I'm gay and only a select few people know I'm gender fluid. Those people being Marinette and Nathaniel. I think Alya knows though. And I have a feeling she knows about me being gay and crushing on Nathaniel. I mean it's Alya.

I walk behind the changing screen she has set up and changed into the dress. It was nice not gonna lie. I walked out from behind the screen and stood sheepishly in front of Marinette who clapped. "You look so good Marc! Nathaniel will love it." She teased. I blushed. She is the only one who knows about my crush on Nathaniel as well. "S-stop it Marinette! You know he's straight!" I say nervously. "Sure he is." She rolled her eyes. 

"Whatever. I need to get home though so thanks for the dress Marinette and I brought 20 dollars, I hope that's enough." I told her handing her the money. "It's fine Marc, you don't need to pay me." She laughed a bit. "Nuh uh, I insist you take the money." I say throwing it on her dresser before I go back behind the screen to change back. "Thanks Marinette, see you tomorrow." I told her as I left with my dress, feeling scared and shy.

I get back home and my parents are waiting for me. "Marc your back." Mom smiled, hugging me. "Hey Mom." I mumbled a bit. "So where's the suit?" She asked. "Actually there seemed to be some miscommunication or just Alya up to something and she told Marinette I wanted a dress so I have a dress." I told them hesitantly. "Oh that's wonderful Marc! You know you can't keep it a secret forever." She half scolded me half praised me. "Yea yea." I mumble. Then I go to my room and put the dress neatly on a hanger in my closet and write some on the latest comic script. All I've been doing this week really. 

I didn't even wanna go to the fricken party in the first place but Marinette convinced me. Ugh this feels like a bad idea but there's not really any going back now that I have the dress right?

Okay switching back to Nathaniel next day. Fuck this one shot is rushed. We just gonna start as soon as he gets to the party which started at 5 pm

I got to the party in my black suit with a white tie. I looked around nervously for Marc, wondering where he is. Maybe he isn't here yet? Or maybe he decided not to come? Oh I hope not. I miss him so much it hurts. I wait by the door for him, not paying attention to what's above me. Finally I see him. But I didn't fully recognize him at first. But there was no denying it's him now.

He was nervously waking up the steps in a black dress that reached just below his knees, just flowy enough, with a white blazer on over it. I seriously think my heart stopped beating for a good minute when I saw him. He was literally drop dead gorgeous, I woulda been dead from the sight of him if I hadn't remembered to breath. He nervously walked up the steps looking down. He still had on his black fingerless gloves. And black boots. As he got to the top of the stairs, still not seeing me I assume, I grab his hand and pull him close to me, not caring what my parents will think. He gasps before looking up to see me. 

Yes he is taller than me but he was looking down so he had to tilt his head up to see me of course. Then he blushed and tried to shuffle back but I held him firmly close to me. "You look beautiful." I say breathlessly. He blushed more. "T-thanks." He thanked me quietly. Then we look up. And see. Mistletoe. He went beet red and I bet my face was pretty red as well but this is my chance. 

"We're standing under the mistletoe." I murmur, putting my hand on the side of his cheek. He nods. "Uh yea but I mean we don't have to..." He starts to ramble. I lay a finger on his mouth to quiet him. "You know the rule." I smile before kissing him. He froze. But I didn't break the contact. I need him to know how much I love him. After a few second he hesitantly kissed me back. Does this mean he feels the same?

Finally I pull away. "So-" I start breathlessly. He was taking deep breathes and looking at me in a way that explained everything. "Would you do me the honor of being my boyfriend?" I finally ask. He freezes again, his breath catching. Then he crashes his lips against mine. I'm overwhelmed with joy and kiss him back. This time the kiss lasts a good minute. I can't tell if people are watching or not and honestly, I don't care. 

We break the kiss. "Yes. I would love to." He breaths, wrapping his arms around my neck. I smile the biggest smile and wrapped my arms around his waist. I pick him up slightly off the ground and spin him around he giggles and clings to me. "I'm so happy you said yes." I whisper, kissing his ear. He giggles and blushes a deep shade of red.

Author P.O.V

Marinette and Alya were standing next to each other watching our gay comic couple. Marinette in a striking red dress that almost reached the floor with no sleeves and Alya in an orange one the reached her knees and long sleeved. They high-fived. "Our plan worked like a charm." Alya laughed. Marinette nodded, smiling. Then they went off and enjoyed the party.’

Another One Shot! To feed all you Hungry Marcaniel souls. Bye for now.

Rating of the Paris and London Special spoilers and long

Paris- Shadybug and claw noir

(no i didnt listen to Gabriel sing the intro) in my opinion i like the fact that in another universe most things are different (except trauma) i also like the design like what hair conditioner is au Gabriel using?!

I also love the designs for Shadybug and Claw Noir (mostly Shadybug) and there dynamic is very funny sometimes

I feel bad for them and the Kwamiis like let them speak eat SOMETHING also who is the supreme? Why the evil? Are they human?

I like the difference between Monarch and Betterfly(im not a fan of that name, why that name) they are both not good parents but in my opinion Betterfly is more calm, gentle and soft spoken and can still fight but still and i am SO HAPPY Nuroo has a good holder now

I also like (i like a lot of things) that Adrien is the one who has a crush on Marinette and i think he would go to her bakery just to see her honestly its cute in my opinion

The fact they had a heart to heart was sweet and want more of Shadybug and claw noir (i know its not there names anymore but its easier to tell them apart with those names)

Now some things i didnt like, the fact they got rid of Shadybugs buns when she became lady bug i really liked her buns, the design for universe ladybug (i forgot her name) i liked the sequence but not the design

so 10/10 and my favorite special ever

London special (Time special)

The beginning i liked until teenage Bunnix started recapping like i get some people liked it but i didnt like i know what happens just talk in your head ok i dont need a recap

When i saw the s5 finale i thought Emily was the one who was brought back and i thought they just found a cure for Natalie but i was wrong Natalie was brought back which im just happy shes alive and shes gonna be there for Adrien

BugNoir/Marinette is Depressed like if i went through that i would be too i would be tired and everything She needs therapy i mean everyone needs therapy but still

I feel bad for Adrien Imagine you find out your dads dead and he sacrificed himself for you like omg i feel bad for him i need an episode just about Adriens life PLEASE

Chronobugs design is bright thats it

I think this confirms that Lila/Cirece or whatever her name is is the new butterfly holder (poor Nuroo just let him rest)

Honestly writing everything down in a notebook while akumatized so you have something is really smart

Im happy Chronobug was able to find out what to do to keep her identity a secret from Lila

And last but not least the new animation teaser at the end

All together 9/10 there where some flaws but i liked it and i cried a lot like a lot but i don’t get why its called the London special i feel like it should be called the Time special cause its time related then again thats my opinion

Miraculous season 6

Did the writers write themselves into a corner?

Yeah, that’s a question we might wanna discuss. Why? Let me tell you.

In the episode Timetagger, we were introduced to a lot of stuff.

First, the rabbit miraculous and the concept of time traveling.

We also learned that the show would not be over, after Gabriel got defeated. That’s already confirmed.

They ‚hinted‘ that Lila would be the new Hawk Moth. That too is already confirmed and happened by the end of season 5.

We learned that Ladybug would have a team of miraculous users behind her and apparently, they have to be active, even after reaching adulthood. Alix was already in her 20‘s after all.

So… where is there a problem? Easy.

If we assume that it is still Lila, now Cerise, being Hawk Moth when they are all adults, how will the writers keep this interesting?

Don‘t get me wrong! With the miraculous London special, they started out very strong! Cerise had won first try! But like I said before, since adult and granny Bunnix both knew about this, we can be sure that it was supposed to happen and it was supposed to fail. Meaning….. there was no real danger to begin with even if it was very close.

Which is why I hope that Cerise will use all the knowledge she got in her notebook against ladybug and Marinette. She didn’t just write down the name of ladybug. Stuff about Nathalie, Miss tsurugi. She got blackmail material on a lot of people. Not to mention the fact that ladybug lies to everyone.

There has to be some real danger. A real problem to keep things interesting. I mean Gabriel got pretty much all the miraculous. But it was still Gabriel at the end so…. He still failed despite getting close sometimes.

In the past, Marinette almost got akumatized multiple times. It was always thanks to good luck or this one time Chat Noir talking her out of it, that it didn’t happen.

Which is also why I….. am part of the group of people who hope, that ‚Lady Chaos‘ will be the episode were it finally happens. Many people pointed out how the exciting stuff always seems to happen in episode number 22. so fingers crossed.

However, the problem for me is, that Marinette seems to have too much plot armor. She didn’t get akumatized once despite being close. Adrien was akumatized twice (the times I remember). If I am forgetting one incident, I am sorry but the two times I remember, either bunnix or sass had to step in. Even if something goes really wrong Bunnix can come in and save the day. The time travel thing is too powerful.

But remember, as long as it’s part of the timeline, she won‘t stop it. She even pointed out how fighting Gabriel like this wasn’t smart at all. But she didn’t stop it.

Which means, every time bunnix shows up, we can be sure that something didn’t go as planned. And if she doesn’t, it’s part of the plan and the issue might be fixed soon.

See my problem? Because of time traveling, the excitement is almost completely gone.

You probably noticed how I am a lot more active now. Well, work isn’t as tiring now thanks to Christmas being close and I wanted to get stuff I think about out of my head.

My next post will be about Adrien and the writing decisions at the end season 5. see you soon!
