Two Lies and A Truth part 2

Turns out the Startrain can get a person from London to Paris in what feels like a matter of minutes. Marinette waited on the platform, alone in a crowd of commuters, with her wide brim hat pulled down low over her face. She wore her hair down, a countermeasure against any old friends who might recognize her style, and opted for an equally unfamiliar white and pink sundress. She'd originally made it for her dream date with Adrien. Now it would meet one of the only friends she had left.

The train from London pulled in, and Felix Graham de Vanily was the first off. He wore his signature dark gray three piece suit, a white shirt making his skin seemed more tanned. He scanned the crowd, forcing people to move around him as his vibrant green eyes searched for her.

She wove a path through the crowd and grabbed his hand. "Hey," she said weakly.

He froze, taking in her changed appearance before speaking. "Your hair looks nice." He touched just the tip of her blue hair, admiring the length. "What prompted the change?"

Marinette's smile dropped. "Don't want to be recognized." Her voice was almost imperceptible in the din of the station.

The pair walked out hand in hand, Felix's heart racing where Marinette's barely caught her attention. Together they wove their way through Paris. Their only pause was with Andre Glacier to get ice cream, Andre's idea not theirs. Finally their meandering brought them to the bakery where they first truly met.

Sabine and Tom waved to the kids as they went up into the apartment. Marinette noticed her mother's calculating look while Felix caught her father's questioning gaze. The young man thought their journey would end in the living room, but Marinette kept his hand in her own until they'd climbed up into her pink painted room. The walls were nearly bare, with the crumpled up pictures of Adrien in her waste basket. Felix took good note of that.

In the safety of her room, Marinette started talking. She repeated a lot of what Felix already knew: how her class had been turned, how the teacher punished her when it wasn't her fault, about how she had only 3 people left in the whole city she could trust. When she brought up the arrival of Suzette, he could tell from the stormy expression of her face that this girl did more than bother Marinette.

"What do you care if she's Ladybug?" Felix asked, waving his hand as if to present the situation on a platter. "Sounds like she'll prove herself wrong soon enough."

"But she's put the entire school in danger!" Marinette cried. She slumped onto her chaise and sighed. "If Hawkmoth thinks anyone in François Dupont is his arch nemesis..." She didn't finish the sentence. She didn't have to. Felix had seen the chaos akumas caused, and if it weren't for the Ladybug Cure, everyone in Paris would be dead ten times over.

He nodded, and Marinette sighed with relief. She wanted to tell him the real reason, that she was the one suffering stolen identity here, but she couldn't. She thought of Master Fu's threat. Being Ladybug was stressful, sure, but it was one of the best things in her life right now.

Their phones buzzed simultaneously. Felix had his out first, sparing Marinette the trouble. Nadia Chamack's face filled the screen completely. "Don't be bemused, it's just the news. On this special report, we have Alya Cesaire live in our studio to talk about a remarkable post she's put on her Ladyblog." The camera switched to show the red haired girl Marinette used to call friend. As the audience applauded, the pair in a pink room sat on Marinette's chaise.

"Thanks for having me, Madame Chamack." At least she had her manners. "I'm a big fan of yours."

Nadja laughed and made a little dismissive gesture. "If you're a fan of mine, then you know here at the station we love our Ladybug, and your blog has been a key source of information on her. Let's show the audience what you posted today that's sweeping our city!"

Nadia's large screens showed Alya close up in the frame, breathing heavily. "How unbecoming." Felix scrunched his nose in disgust while Marinette laughed.

The video showed Alya rushing back to her seat where across from her sat...Ladybug? The costume was fairly well made, superior to Chloe's in many ways. There was still the glaring issue of a zipper on the back and her mask slowly dropping on the left side.

The two began talking like old friends, Alya crediting Lila for getting the interview squared away. Felix watched Marinette as her face switched from shock to horror.

Once the Ladybug interview had wrapped up, Nadja began asking questions about the whos, whats, wheres and whens of the impromptu video. "Lila, my best friend," Alya emphasized that title like she knew Marinette was watching, "promised me an interview with LB, and it turns out Ladybug is wonderful in and out of costume!" She pasted a surprised look on her face and murmured, "Oh, I shouldn't have said that." in such a perfect copy of Lila that Marinette searched for a wig line or something.

"In and out of costume? Does that mean - hold on, you know who Ladybug is?" Nadja had real shock on her face, and if the camera had turned then Felix imagined the audience would have that same look too.

Alya smiled sweetly. "I couldn't say."

The interview continued, but Felix set his phone away. Marinette was shaking now, and he put an arm around her. She leaned on his shoulder, her body slowing to matching his heartbeat. He rested his head on top of hers and took a deep breath. She smelled like strawberries, glue, and mint.

Now he jumped up and paced. Her eyes followed back and forth as he moved, pausing every so often to muse on a particular idea.

"I've got it." He smiled, a devious grin that split his face like a demon.

Marinette listened with rapt attention.

"Blast Master, I am Hawkmoth. You want to expose the truth about Lila Rossi and save your friend. I'm giving you the power to control explo-"

"That's a no on the name."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Then beg."

"...what is happening?"

"Listen, you're right about why I'm pissed, and I'll gladly take the explosion power, but I'm not calling myself Blast Master."

"I...suppose?"

"Excellent, glad we're on the same page."

Suzette Lambert basked in the attention of her schoolmates like a cat basks in the sun. Lila was right, she mused, these idiots are too easy. Only two weeks and she had near god like worship. She almost didn't regret transferring out of her private English school.

The two people who didn't immediately succumb to her will were Chloe Bourgeois and Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Chloe made snide comments here and there but hardly went toe to toe with the new queen of the school. It helped that literally anytime she tried, either that nuisance Alya would snap at her or the teacher would gently redirect the class.

Her teal eyes caught sight of the little pariah, who'd snuck in early and taken her spot at the farthest desk in the room. Marinette never spoke. Not even when the teacher called on her. When she'd asked, Lila bemoaned, "Oh Mari? She's just the worst. She's always so mean to me and everyone hates her for it. I wouldnt even bother talking to her."

Suzette couldn't say it was hard to get on Lila's bad side, but that seemed a bit extreme. It all made sense after her little "slip-up" though.

It was the Italian's idea to say she was the heroine. "Trust me, no one will even question it." As much as Suzette hated to admit it, Lila was right. Everyone latched onto the biggest lie of her life and now the royal treatment was just a standard. The only bad reaction she got was Dupain-Cheng running out of the room. That was weird on so many levels, but Suzette ignored it.

Class was going smoothly until the volley of ringtones interrupted the lesson.

"An akuma?"

"It's just down the street!"

"Hold up Alix, let me see!"

Suzette checked her phone, lazily scanning the report of a dancing harlequin-style akuma moving steadily towards François Dupont.

"Go suit up, Suzette!"

She looked at Alya with a tired expression. "What?"

The reporter pointed her cellphone at Suzette. "Don't you need to transform? To defeat the akuma?" Her quizzical look spread like a virus through the class.

"I can't." She needed to think, quick. "The Guardian took my miraculous for safe keeping." She mentally congratulated herself for the excuse.

Nino spoke up next. "Why?"

"Repairs."

"Why would a miraculous need repairs?" And why was Kim of all people chiming in?

"Oh puh-lease." Now came Chloe Bourgeois. She sat on her desk and ignored Madame Bustier's reprimand as she continued. "Obviously she can't because she isn't Ladybug." Sabrina nodded vigorously, the nasty little cockroach.

Alya naturally spoke next, loud enough to give the queen standing next to her a headache. "No one asked you, Chloe." She snapped. "Why dont you keep your opinions to yourself?"

"Why dont you you little gossip rag wannabe?"

Wow, Suzette thought. That's an interesting shade of red in Alya's face.

Chloe turned those sky blue eyes back to her rival. "What form does your miraculous take? Or better yet, what's mine?" She leaned forward, her head tilted as if to listen for an answer.

Suzette crossed her arms. "Why would I care about yours?"

"Because you're the one that gives it to me, Ladybug. And I know for a fact if you were the real Ladybug, you would've kept your mouth closed about your identity."

No one noticed Marinette in the back of the room staring wide eyed at Chloe.

"Who are you to talk to me like that?!" Suzette yelled. Lila grabbed her arm, locking her in place. "You're just the mayor's spoiled brat who only cares about herself!" Chloe smiled at Suzette's words. The audacity.

"Maybe, but at least I'm honest."

Another insult began forming in the mind of the false Ladybug when the door came off its hinges with an explosion.

When I’m not headcanoning Adrien becoming a primary/secondary school teacher in the future, I like to headcanon him as becoming an apprentice for the Dupain-Cheng boulangerie, falling in love with cooking and becoming a famous chef/patisserie maker~

He loves making experimental dishes and inventing new recipes~

Or maybe he could be both.

A teacher and a cook.

Bringing in homemade treats for his students~! And Marinette making some too~!

Chloé Bourgeois: HBIC

(Check it out on Ao3!)

Now, Chloé Bourgeois may be a “Queen Bitch”, but these students were her subjects. And Lila was on her turf, dammit.

----

Now, Chloe knew that she was a bit of a bitch, excuse her french. She had at least some self awareness. She had bullied Marinette for years, she was a jerk to about anyone possible, and tended to get in Adrien’s personal space. That last one�� Chloe had recently realized a few things about Adrien. #1: He was interested in some mystery girl, and seemed to have something happening with Kagami. And #2: Chloe had never really liked him in the first place. Yeah, she had pulled out all the stops to be near him, but now that she thought about it, it felt more like her protecting him then her just wanting to be a thing with him.

Chloe also realized that she had been a hair short of a villain after being deakumatized from being Queen Wasp.

She had spent a ton of time rethinking her actions and decisions and decided to try and change for the better. Chloe knew that if she went all-in immediately, she’d probably mess up, and no one would trust her suddenly being nice. So instead, she subtly changed. She stopped ordering Sabrina and started requesting. She went from picking on everyone to ignoring them most of the time, but of course adding in a sarcastic comment from time to time.

But then Lila arrived.

Chloe knew Lila was full of bs from the start. Ladybug? Being best friends with a civilian? Yeah. Sure. Chloe knew that she had claimed the same thing, but she knew now that she just wanted to feel closer to her idol, and everyone else knew that too. But because of the whole Queen Bee tobacle, Chloe knew that Ladybug would not risk such a thing. So this Rossi girl was lying.

And while Chloe was still trying to get better.... This was her turf. She was in charge. The class would figure out Lila’s damage in a week, tops. But still, Chloe had overestimated her idiotic classmates.

Seriously. Marinette. Their Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She would hate a girl for no reason? Adrien might’ve been a good explanation… except for the fact that Marinette’s jealousy spouts lasted about an hour, but then she would always be out of spite. So something was going on here. Another inconsistency.

Since Chloe knew the truth, she could see Lila’s predatory smirk, disguised as a sweet smile and Lila’s disgust at anything from the Dupain-Cheng bakery. Now, Chloe hated Dupain-Cheng. But the bakery was the fucking bomb. Not that Choe would ever admit it.

The last nail in the coffin was when Chloe saw Marinette run to the bathroom, probably to cry. Chloe sighed and got up. Dupain-Cheng may be Chloe’s rival, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, or something , Chloe thought.

Anyway, she was just getting up when Lila mentioned something about going to the nurse and went after Marinette instead. Chloe made sure to sneak ahead of Lila, and even Marinette. Chloe made a guess of where the two were heading, and hid in a bathroom stall.

She had just gotten her phone out and pressed record when Marinette walked into the room. The sounds of muffled crying started, and then Lila chose that moment to walk in.

“Marinette? Oh, are you crying?” Lila asked with faux concern.

“No I’m not!”

“I can sense that you don't like me, but I don't understand why. We barely know each other.” Lila wondered with that obnoxiously fake voice of hers.

“Don't tell me it's because of this new seating arrangement in class!” Chloe heard a very quiet rustle. “It is! Of course, you're jealous because I'm sitting next to Adrien, because you would've given anything to sit there yourself. You know what? It's really not worth fighting over a boy. You and I could be friends, and who knows, I might even be able to help you with Adrien.”

“You and I will only be friends the day you stop lying, Lila!” Lila gasped, and Chloe silently applauded Marinette on the comeback. “I can't prove it, but I know for a fact that you don't have tinnitus, that your wrist is just fine, that you don't know Prince Ali because you've never even stepped foot in Achu, and despite what you got Alya to write on her Ladyblog, Ladybug has never saved your life!” Chloe was a bit iffy on that last one. Ladybug didn’t know Lila personally for sure, but Ladybug may have saved her once. Chloe waved the thought away. It didn’t matter right then.

“I only tell people what they want to hear.” Lila said, facade dropping at Marin-- Dupain-Cheng’s bold declaration.

“It's called lying!”

“There's nothing you can do about it, anyway. People can't resist when they hear what they like to hear. If you don't want to be my friend, fine! But soon you won't have any friends left at all. And trust me, I'll make sure you never get close to Adrien in class or anywhere. You seem a little less dumb than the others, so I'll give you one last chance. You are either with me or against me. You don't have to answer right away. I'll give you 'till the end of class today.” A door opened and shut, and Chloe knew that the liar had left.

There were noises that Chloe recognized as Marinette stepping into a stall herself. Chloe stopped recording, but started another one when she heard Marinette start talking again.

“I thought Chloé was evil,” Wow, rude. Valid, but rude. “but Lila really takes the whole cake! She's like a supervillain who doesn't even need a costume!” Chloe wondered who the noirette was talking to, but her question was answered when someone responded to Marinette’s words.

“You mustn't let her get to you, Marinette.” The strangely high-pitched voice consoled the girl.

“If I don't manage to expose her lies, she'll ruin my life, Tikki. She'll turn my friends against me, including Adrien!” The normally kind and gentle girl let out a scream of frustration, and Chlow heard a loud noise, and deducted that Marinette had punched the inside of a stall. The blonde stopped her second recording and deleted it. None of the words spoken in it were important. The first one on the other hand…

Chloe noiselessly sighed. She really was gonna have to step down from her throne for a bit to deal with this lowly liar.

Now, Chloe may be a “Queen Bitch,” but these students were her subjects.

“Rossi.”

“What do you need, Chloe?” Lila asked, batting her eyes.

“I’d like to talk.” Chloe threw a glance at Alya. “Alone.”

Alya was about to get on Chloe’s case, probably about to spout something about intentions or whatever, but Lila reassured her. “I’ll be fine. If I need help, I’ll just yell.”

“Good.” Chloe walked into the bathrooms that she heard Dupain-Cheng being threatened in. Gotta get that aesthetic.

“So, let’s cut the crap.” Chloe stated, turning toward the italian. Chloe started recording on her phone that was hidden behind her back.

“I know you’re a liar, Lie-la.”

“What are you talking about?” Lila asked innocently. “Oh! Did Marinette tell you that? She’s just jealous of me having to sit next to Adrien is all--”

“Yeah, yeah, sure whatever. I don’t believe you.” Chloe cut her off. “I know you’re lying, drop the act."

After Chloe’s admission, Lila did in fact drop her act. The silver-tongued girl’s entire stance changed.

“I’m just going to tell you the same thing I did to that goody-goody-faker. You are either with me or against me.”

“Yeah, again for sure. I may be a bitch and a bully, but I pay my dues without the comfort of any hidden shadows. I’m no underhanded dunce.” Chloe rolled her eyes.

“Well fine, I’ll destroy your reputation too. I’ll take all your friends-”

“Yeah, you can’t use the same threat you used on Marinette. I only have Sabrina, and she already knows you're lying too.” Chloe interrupted her.

“You’ll see what I can do, bitch.” Lila growled and sashayed out of the room.

Chloe snickered. Lila had forgotten that she could’ve framed Chloe for something right there by just sitting on the ground and screaming.

Anyway, Chloe stopped her second recording and giggled. Time to take down a lying bitch.

A few minutes later, when she was going over her plans with Sabrina, Sabrina went silent for a second.

“I have an idea.”

Now, the old Chloe would've been offended that Sabrina dared to question her plans, even if mentioning an idea was hardly shooting down another. But I did tell you that Chloe was trying to get better, didn’t I? So the heiress listened to Sabrina’s idea, who beamed at being listened to.

“Do you believe Lila or Marinette?” Sabrina asked.

“I love Marinette, but I believe in Lila. Marinette can get nasty when she’s jealous; I see that first-hand a lot.” Alya responded, certain.

“I’ve known Nette’ for years, dude. I don’t think she would stay angry at Lila, even if she was jealous. I mean, she and Kagami go out for orange juice once a week.” Nino voiced his thoughts.

“Marinette? She’s awesome! Lila is too though. I’ve known Mari for years, but you never really know a person, you know?” Kim said, already bored from sitting still for that small amount of time.

“I sincerely doubt that Marinette is lying. I believe with almost 100% certainty that Marinette would not do such a thing. I do not know Lila enough to judge her yet. The napkin could have just been an accident on both sides.” Max theorized, pushing his glasses up his nose.

“Well, Marinette can get jealous and do some petty things, but I don’t really believe that. She did help me and Marc after all.” Nathaniel said, smiling at the memory.

“Lila is really nice! Marinette is really nice too! I like them both. Marinette can get a bit jealous though. I’m sure she’ll get over it!” Rose gushed.

“I’m not sure… I’d want to talk to Rose and Luka about it first…” Juleka mumbled.

“I don’t really have an opinion, but I’ll bet my skates that Marinette doesn’t mean any harm. She is probably jealous though.” Alix shrugged.

“Well, I like both Lila and Marinette. Lila just needs a bit more help, with her injuries and all.” Mylene said thoughtfully.

“I don’t know. I’ll just agree with whatever Mylene said.” Ivan replied shortly.

Last one was Adrien.

Chloe was about to try and talk to him, but he was already talking to Dupain-Cheng. Chloe pressed record, just in case, and eavesdropped.

“Are you going to tell everyone?” Adrien was asking the noirette.

“'Course I am. Lila is--”

“A liar. Yes, I know.” Adrien responded, cutting her off. “But do you really think exposing her will make things better? If you humiliate her, she'll just be hurt more. Making a bad guy suffer has never turned them into a good guy.”

“So we just stand by and let her lie?” Marinette replied, unsure.

“As long as you and I both know the truth, does it really matter?”

Chloe saw Adrien give Marinette a warm smile and walk away.

Well, that answered her question.

That sheltered little boy. Chloe knew why that was bad advice, specifically for Marinette Dupain-Cheng. DC was a goody-two-shoes. It would absolutely kill her to see her friends being manipulated.

But Adrien had been homeschooled for years, and was never taught the ins and outs of social affairs not related to the brand.

So Chloe couldn’t entirely blame him.

But that advice he gave Dupain-Cheng was shit.

Chloe and Sabrina put it together that night, and managed to get Miss Bustier’s permission to do a small presentation about a “surprise” the next day. It was all falling into place.

Checkmate, Rossi.

Marichat May Day 31: Time Travel

Summary:

Chat Noir and Marin both get swapped with their future counterparts while fighting an akuma.

Notes: Sorry for the delay, I had some technical problems involved with day 30 so I had to postpone everything one day, but an accident caused me to take an extra day on this fic.

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

Marin and Chat Noir where on a shopping mall searching for abirthday present for Kitty Noire when there was an akuma attack. Given that Chat Noir was currently in a disguise in his civilian form to buy without attracting attention, he and Marin had to search for some place where he could transform into Chat Noir. They found a deserted dead-end alley and used wisely the chance for Chat Noir to suit up, having Marin guard him to avoid anyone seeing Chat's transformation. Once he was back on his feline attire, Chat Noir picked up Marin and leaped away to bring him somewhere else safe. But just as he leaped out of the alley, a blast from the akuma hit both of them perfectly and their vision faded to black.

When both of them regained their senses, they each were on different places that neither of them recognized. In Chat's case, he woke up on an unkown room, laying on a strangers' bed and with a beautiful girl next to him. When he tried to move, the girl turned around to face Chat Noir and all of his senses stopped working for a solid minute. The girl was undoubtely beautiful, but she was even more cute. Her raven short hair mesmerized Chat's attention, her pale-white skin gave of a slightly noticeable fragance that raptured his sense of smell, her sapphire-like eyes made it impossible for Chat to look away from then and her lips tempted Chat to have a taste. The girl was a bit surprised at first, but her expression quickly turned into that of a fond smile and she extended her arm to pet Chat Noir, making him purr instantly and making him forget about anything but her touch.

Menwhile, Marin regained his consciousness on a kitchen. He was sitting on a chair by the kitchen island with what appeared to be a half eaten breakfast. He turned around to analyze his surroundings but didn't saw anyone in his immediate vicinity. Instead, he noticed that behind him was the living room and it was plagued with photographs. On all the photografs appeared some brunet dude and a blonde girl, sometimes accompanied by more people and sometimes not. Then, he hears a door being unlocked and a blonde girl in her late twenties comes throught wearing what seemed to be the hero suit of Kitty Noire. When she saw him, she let out a plastic bag she was carrying, but soon enough a smile appeared at the corner of her lips and she got closer to him, booping his nose as he only could blink in awe of what he was seeing. His mind bean to work at an amazing speed to analyze the situation, but the girl interrupted him as she freaked out and put down all the pictures in the living room.

"Hello there Marin" says the supposed Kitty Noire. "Please, tell me you didn't saw the photos".

"I did saw them, but I didn't pay much attention to them" says Marin. "You... You're Kitty, right? We're in the future, right?"

"Correct as always Purrince Charming" says Kitty relieved. "It's good to see you in your teens again".

"Thanks I guess. You look stunning" says Marin. "Can I ask a question? Why am I in your house? It's just to make sure if my guess is correct".

"Well, if your guess is that we're married, then you're spot on" puns Kitty giggling. "And yes, we know our secret identities in the future".

"But, if you're Kitty right now, then Hawk Moth is still around" points Marin.

"Well yes, but actually no" memes Kitty. "Your Hawk Moth was defeated together with the other villains at the time, but I can't tell you more or Alix and Alex are going to kill me".

"I understand... I guess I can't ask you how did we end up married then"says Marin shrugging.

"Don't worry about that Pretty Face, I can assure you that it will go smoothier than you think" says Kitty messing with Marins hair. "Oh, I missed your hair like this so bad, not that your short hair is bad".

"I like your new hairstyle and suit too" says Marin. "It makes you even more gorgeous than before".

"My, my~ I almost forgot about your unpredictable smoothness" says Kitty flattered. "But that's something I've always liked about you, being smooth in the spur of the moment and then lament about it internally. It's so cute!"

"I- Uh- I didn't- I'm not- UGGGGH" says Marin blushing and crouching in defeat as Kitty chuckles.

"Sorry, sorry. To make it up I'll give you a hint: Even in your time, we're closer than you expect" says Kitty booping his nose. "Now, if you excuse me, I'll make a call to say that you aren't going to work today because an akuma attack".

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

On Chat's side, the girl had stopped petting him, which made him pout a bit since she only scratched the best spots, and got up. She stretched as if Chat Noir wasn't there next to her and went behind a changer. For some reason he didn't know, Chat couldn't take his eyes fom her and promptly followed her every action with his gaze, unaware of how fast was his heart beating. When she went out of the changer in a very cute outfit, Chat's racing heart skipped a beat as his jaw hit the floor by the stunning view in front of him. Then, the girl went up to him with a somewhat sly smirk, slowly approaching him as she made his heart malfunction. She grabbed him of his ankle and pulled out of the bed, making his but make a big thump against the floor.

"For how much longer are yu going to sit there and stare at me Kit-Cat?" asks the girl smirking. "Don't tell me you don't recognize me".

"M-M-Marinette? Is th-th-th-that yo-you?" asks a blushing Chat quite confused and surprised.

"Of course it's me silly" says Marinette giggling.

"B-But you... You look so dif-fferent" says Chat.

"Of course I do you dum-dum, I'm older than you right now" says Marinette olling her eyes amused. "You could say that we're in the future, even if this is the present for me".

"I'm in the future?" asks Chat confused.

"Yes you are. If I recall correctly, you and Marin were sent to the future together while this time Marin and Chat Noir got sent to the past by that akuma" says Marinette.

"I have to find Buggz or Bunnix then!" says Chat Noir. "I need them to get me to the past!"

"No can do Chat. You'll eventaully go back when your Ladybug uses her Miraculous Cure" says Marinette.

"What do I do then?" asks Chat Noir.

"I don't know, I guess I could answer some of your questions" says Marinette.

"Then... Why... Why was I on your bed?" asks Chat shyly.

"Aww, so cute, you didn't realized it yet" says Mariette flickering his bell. "It's because it's our bed. We're married".

"We're.... Married?" asks Chat truly surprised.

"Yeah, and I know your identity as well Adrien" says Marinette.

"Does that means that Hawk Moth is no more?" asks Chat hopeful.

"Yours was defeated, but there's something else right now" says Marinette. "But I can't tell you aout that because of time travel shenanigans and that".

"Of course, it could create time-loops and paradoxes to reveal crucial information" says Chat Noir thinking out loud.

"That's right, my physics nerdy dork" says Marinette smiling. "If only you were as bright as you're smart".

"Hey!" complains Chat Noir.

"Don't hey me you oblivious 'She is just a friend' dunce" says Marinette annoyed surprising Chat. "You don't know how stupid you are right now and you have the guts to deny your own feelings! Dunce!"

"I'm sorry please spare my life" says Chat hiding from her. "I'm too young and too hot to die now".

"Then you better get straight your own feelings before you want to deny how dense you are" says Marinette. "Do you know how much did Nino suffered hearing to you ramble about me just to then say that I'm just a friend to you? Spoiler, he almost was akumatized when we began dating. So did Alya, your sister and Marin, but that's not the point".

"Am I really that dumb?" thinks Chat Noir.

A phone rangs and Marinette picks it up. "Hello?"

"Hey Mari, I've got a situation over here, a Marin time travelling induced by akuma situation" says Kitty from the other side. "So he won't be going to work, also remember to call me Kitty right now".

"Gezz Kitty, did you forgot already? Marin wasn't the only want affected by the akuma, I have Adr- I mean- Mini Noir with me" says Mariette. "Also, Marin and I took the day off today and hewas going to surprise you with a date, but I guess it was all for naught".

"He what?! I'm going to kiss him senseless when I see him again and then kick his butt for not telling me!" says Kitty.

"As long as you don't kill him it's fine. Also, remember to take care of the baby, we don't want you risking your pregnancy for kicking Marin" says Marinette.

"Wait, I'm an uncle?!" exclaims Chat Noir.

"Not yet Chat, Kitty is only four months pregnant, her belly isn't even inflated yet" says Marinette.

"Is my young brother over there listening? I left Marin alone in another room" says Kitty.

"Keep an eye on him before he does smething stupid. Even if he wasn't like Chat, he was curious about your identity because of his crush on you" says Marinette.

"Marin has a crush on Kitty?" asks Chat Noir.

"One on Kitty and one on Adrienne and one big headache due to his moral conflict" says Marinette.

"y the way Mari, if you're free, how about you two come over here? I just want to talk to someone without constantly having to be careful not to reveal too much info" says Kitty in what sounded like a plead.

"Give me ten minutes and we'll be over there. Lunch is on you?" asks Marinette.

"As if, I want to taste Marin's cooking" says Kitty being childish.

"Fine by me" says Marinette shrugging. "See you in ten minutes then!"

"So... Where are we going?" asks Chat Noir.

"To Marin's and Kitty's house. Spoiler, they are also married and as you heard, Kitty is pregnant" says Marinette picking up he things.

"How comes Marin got both of his crushes?" complains Chat. "Not that you're bad Pricess. You're lovely. You're lovable. I love you- I mean you're great!"

Marinette smiles and kisses him on the forehead. After seeing him somewhat disapointed, she giggles. "Come on Kit-Cat, if you want a real kiss from me, you'll have to kiss my old self senseless when you return".

"I- I didn't- Uh- I-" tries to say a very flustered cat.

"Now, now. Don't blush so much about this minor teasing and let's go to your sister's place" says Marinette as she pushes Chat out of the room.

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

As the young Chat Noir and young Marin experienced a bit of their future, their future counterparts appear mid-air in the old Paris they hadn't seen for fourteen years. To top it off, Adrien was a civilian on pajama and was carrying Marin, who still had the piece of melon he was having for breakfast inside his mouth. In a flash, they remebered about the time-swapping akuma and managed to relatiely safely land on a rooftop unscathed. Making use of what their wives had told them about the fight, they devised a plan to reenact the same fight and each of them left to make what they needed to make.

In Adrien's case, he simply transformed into Chat Noir to avoid getting caught by the paparazzi in his pajamas. then, he set out towards the Dupain-Cheng bakery to get the one person they needed to clean this mess: Ladybug. Jumping from roof to roof, he manaed to get to Marinette's balcony despite being somewhat lost after running agai over so many rooftops that had changed in the future. When he arrived to the baclony, he knocked thrice on the trapdoor as he used to do to call for Marinette and let her know that it was him. But when the trapdoor opened, instead of being greeted by Marinette, a pillow came out and hit him right on the chin, managing to knock him off the ground. When Chat tried to stand up while rubbing his chin, Marinette was peeking her head out of her trapdoor with another pillow ready to throw.

"Who are you?!" demands Marinette.

"Princess... It's me, Chat Noir. I'm fom the future" says Chat getting up.

"Don't move! I can't know if you're telling the truth!" says Marinette. "Prove me that you're Chat".

"Let's see. First of all, I can tell you who Ladybug is because I know that in the future, but that wouldn't convince you" says Chat Noir. "So, I'm going to tell you each and every attempt you did to make Agreste boy fall for you. Including the stolen phone that time where the statue of the heroes was inagurated".

"Okay! Stop! I trust you!" says Marinette embarrassed. "I can't believe you know all that in the future".

"Of course I know Princess, we're married! Do you really think that Alya wouldn't explain me i detail everything?" says Chat Noir smirking.

"Okay, that does sounds like Alya" admits Marinette. "Anyway, what are you doing here?"

"Me? Oh, not too much. your Chat Noir and your brother were hit by an akuma attack and swapped positions with us, so they are in the future and here I am, taking a scroll to get my buggaboo" explains Chat.

"How come you're still calling me that?!" says Marinette pouting. "And what happened to your hair?! Where is your mane?!"

"And here I thought that you liked my hairstyle because I look like Captain America" says Chat with crocodile tears.

"Yup, you're definitely Chat Noir, only you can be such a drama queen" says Marinette.

"Marinette! Chat Noir! Akuma!" says Tikki getting out of her hiding spot.

"Shoot she's right! I'll be going then! Come back me up as soon as you can M'Lady!" says Chat Noir leaping away.

"Tikki... What exactly happens in the future? Chat looks so... So..." says Marinette.

"Hot? Muscular? Sexy?" says Tikki giggling.

"I wasn't- He's not- I'm not-" tries to say Marinette flustered.

"Come on Marinette, leave your hot catboy fantasies for later, there's an akuma to catch!" says Tikki.

"Stop teasing me Tikki! Spots On!" protests Marinette before transforming into Ladybug.

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

While future Chat and Marinette had their so touching reunion, future Marin had a more complicated mission. First of all, he had to inform the citiziens of Paris about the akuma's powers via the two most influential blogs in Paris: The Lordblog and the Ladyblog. That's why, he headed to the Cesaire household to find Alya and Alen, explain them about the akuma's powers and then make sure that they wouldn't go out after the akuma to film the battle. He arrived in no time to the Cesaire's home and rang the bell, but insteadof having Alya or Alen answer the door, it was Nora who was using the intercom. It was a bit hard to convince her that he was Marin from the future, but after showing her several different ID and showing her the photos in Marin's phone, she was convinced and let him in, not before of warning everyone thought.

When Marin put one foot on the house, instead of being swarmed by a curious duo of teenager reporters, he was tackled by the four curious little Cesaire girls and ended up in the floor as they inspected him. Luckily for him, Marlena and Otis took the little girls away and helped him out to be on foot again, complimenting the young man on his change after the years. However, not much later he was tackled down to the floor by the two very excited and curious reporters he had expected on the first time. This time thought, it was Nora and Nielle who picked up the duos from Marin's top and let him stand again.

"Thank you for that, even if I expected to be tackled by them I wasn't prepared for it" says Marin rubbing his neck.

"Marin! Dude! You look like this in the future?!" says Alen surprised. "Man, at what age did you turned into a hot man? I bet the ladies swarm to you".

"I'm married and expecting a baby in five months, so no swarm of ladies for me Alen" says Marin laughing. "But I'm twenty-nine at the moment, and I'm not the only one who's got more handsome with the years".

"You're married? To whom?!" inquires Alya. "You better give me all the deets Bakery Boy!"

"Alya, you haven't changed one bit in fourteen years" says Mari chuckling. "I'm married to A- I mean, Kitty Noire. And no, I'm not telling you her secret identity. Or Chat's. Or the bugs'".

"So mean!" complains Alya.

"Now, now, Alya. I'm sure Marin hasn't come all the way fom the future to just be interrogated by you" says Nielle.

"Technically, I didn't com voluntarily from the future to warn you about something, rather, I had planned to take my wife to a date today" says Marin. "But the thing is that an akuma didn't let me".

"An akuma? There's an akuma on the loose?" asks Alen with his eyes shinning.

"Easy there man,you can't go to film this time. I'm here to explain you everything and ask you to post something" says Marin. "If you don't, Ladybug won't win and Hawkie will get the miraculous".

"Oh come on! How comes we can't go out this time?!" protests Alya.

"The akuma has time-travelling based powers. If they hit you, you'll be swapped with yourself from another time, be it past or future" says Marin. "The last time, neither of you went out and Ladybug won flawlessly, so to keep the timeline correct and don't erase me into nothingness, you have to stay in here".

"Man, these time-controlling akumas are the worst!" says Alen.

"Hey, look at the bright side, I'm here to give you all the deets so you can make a post on your blogs to warn all of Paris to stay at home" says Marin.

"We're all ears! Explain everything to the most minimal detail Baky boy!" says Alya with her phone already out.

"That's what I wanted to hear! And remember, no going outside after I leave" says Marin before he procedes to explain them everything about the akuma.

After accepting the interview and checking that they posted the information about the akuma and the interview, he left the Cesaire and headed over the remote park where Adrienne was supposedly having a photoshoot. Of course, given that he couldn't precisely transform due to the fact that his identity could be compromised, he had to take a taxi all the way over there. Once in there, he had to search for the exact spot of where the photos were being shot at, which wasn't as fast as he expected on foot. Luckily for him, he didn't take much more to spot Adrienne's bodyguard, the Orangutan. He rushed over there and picked up his attention, to which the bodyguard frowned and readied himself to expel Marin from the premises.

"Wait! I'm Marin, from the future! There is going to be an akuma attack in here soon" says Marin as he takes out his ID and his phone with a picture of the Orangutan working for him.

The Orangutan carefully examines the photo and the ID and grunts in approval.

"Thanks. I need you to take the cameramen as far as possible, this akuma can make you swap you with yourself from the future or the past, so take cover. I have to take Adrienne to cover to make the events happen like the last time" says Marin.

The Orangutan nods and grunts before taking the cameramen out of the improvised set. Meanwhile, Adrienne is confused as to why her bodyguard is forcing everyone out until she sees future Marin.

"Who are you? What is going on here?" asks Adrienne.

"Oh, I'm from the future and there is an akuma attack" says Marin. "Guess who am I? Here's a clue: Your future husband".

"M-Ma-Marin?!" stutters Adrienne in surprise. After checking him out twice, she can definetly confirm that he got more handsome with the years and she blushes.

"That's me my feline knight" says Marin. "Yes, I know your identity".

"H-How is this possible?!" says Adrienne blushing as Marin gets closer to her.

"The akuma has time-related powers. Your Marin is currently in the future enjoying breakfast with my very gorgeous wife" says Marin. "And let me tell you something, we're expecting a baby but you still go out as Kitty Noire".

"A-A-A baby!?!" exclaims Adrienne flustered. She squeals happily and hugs Marin.

"Yeah, you did that also in the future" says Marin laughing and hugging her back. "But come on, we have more things to do".

"O-Okey..." says Adrienne blushing as she lets him go.

"You have to transform into Kitty Noire and then you have to head over Eiffel's Tower. I hope you don't mind carrying me" says Marin with a wink.

"Of course not~" says Adrienne without thinking. Then she blushes. "I mean- It's no problem!"

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

Meanwhile, in the future, Marinette and Chat Noir arrived to Kitty's home and were enjoying a fresh lemonade while Kitty shamelessly flirted with Marin as he cooked their lunch. Chat Noir had inspected all the house and seen all the photos around since there was no identity to reveal for him. Apparently, Nino and Alya were married and both very famous in their respective fields, even after Alya's quintuplet pregnancy. On the othher side, Nina and Alen were also married and famous, but they still didn't have kids. He saw the portraits of a lot of people, some where somewhat familiar, other where completely unknown to him, but all of them seemed to be important people for Adrienne. Then, a loud chomp sounded in the kitchen and he turned around.

"I've told you not to touch my butt while I have a knife in my hands!" exclaims Marin indignatn, yet blushing. The knife in question was stuck in the cutting board.

"Sorry, sorry. I couldn't resist to compare it with you current butt" says Kitty Noire.

"Sister!" complains Chat Noir also indignant.

"Complain all you want little bro, but you're best fiends with him in the future and have also fondled his butt, ableit it was an accident" says Kitty Noire.

"Kitty! Don't spoil them the surprise!" says Marinette. "Come here with me you mangy cat, I have things to discuss with you about the bakery".

"The bakery?" ask Chat and Marin at unison.

"Yup, I'm currently working in the best bakery of Paris with your parents Marin" says Kitty Noire leaving Marin's side.

"We're the CEOs and head designers of our own brand by the way" says Marinette. "And Chat Noir is a physics teacher in a nearby college".

"Wow, have all my dreams come true?" asks Marin surprised.

"Nope, your dream of boiling Cleon in a tar jar is still not true" says Marinette non-chalantly.

"When did I exactly began to have that dream exactly?" asks Marin afraid.

"No, why do you have that dream? Or will have, this time-travelling stuff is confusing" says Chat Noir.

"Let's just say that Chloe, Cleon and Lila only got more evil with the years" says Kitty Noire. "To the point that even I'd be clad to push them off a cliff".

"On the other side, Felix and Felicia Graham de Vanilie have stopped being villains and are currently one of our most important comercial partners and our best inversors" says Marinette.

"Felix and Felicia will be villains? I know they intentionally helped Hawk Moth for some reason and that they are a bit... Wicked. But how comes that they became villains" asks Marin.

"Oh, they'll discover Hawk Moth's secrets and will try to take the Miraculous to take revenge on him, but since they only attacked us and harmed no one, once Hawk Moth was defeated with their help, the police didn't arrest them" explains Kitty Noire. "They will also be the one who'll tell you who's Hawk Moth".

"But Hawk Moth... Let's just say that a lot of people suffered when his identity was revealed and he was arrested" says Marinette looking worried at Chat Noir.

"He was our father" whispers Kitty to Marin's ear. "But don't say a word about this".

"I- I will" says Marin trying not to be agitated. After all this time, a clue to Hawk Moth's reveal was there, but revealing the secret would make Kitty and Chat suffer.

"Conversely, our identities were revealed among us also thanks to them" points Kitty. "And it indirectly leaded to Marinette and Chat having a relationship".

"Which we could have had before if he wasn't so dense" says Marinette.

"I said I'm sorry!" exclaims Chat Noir.

"No amount of apollogies will make up for our suffering" says Kitty. "It was so painful to see you two revolving one around the other!"

"Even I can tell you that just by seeing how you behave around Marinette"points Marin.

"And he doesn't even know your secret identity!" adds Marinette.

"Can we please go back to preparing lucnh and drinking lemonade?" pleads Chat Noir.

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

Back in the past, the present Ladybug and Kitty Noire altogether with the future Chat Noir met in the Eiffel Tower after Kitty left the future Marin on the ground.

"Aww, I forgot how cute you two looked at the beginning" says Chat Noir.

"You're my brother?!" says Kitty Noire surprised.

"Unfotunately, he is" says Ladybug.

"Hey, you're annoyed because you can't concentrate because of this tremendous body of mine" says Chat Noir flexing as Ladybug blushes frustrated.

"See what I've been having to put up with?" says Ladybug.

"Oh don't worry, I also had a visit from my future husband. I'm going to be a mommy in the future apparently" says Kitty still blushing.

"Right, but there are at least five monts left for that" says Chat Noir. "In my time standards obviously".

"Who's your husband?" asks Ladybug curious.

"I'm just going to say that the best blonde won" says Kitty Noire smugly.

"Marin?! Is Marin from the future also here?!" exclaims Ladybug.

"Yeah, since your Marin and Chat were hit by the same attack, they went too the same period of time" says Chat Noir. "I didn't expect to wake up by appearing fourteen years ago, mid air, in my pajamas and with Marin on my arms".

"Wait what!" say Kitty and Ladybug together.

"I had the day off and my lovely wife as well and we were just chilling in the bed, cuddling a bit and then poof! Wrong twin in my arms" says Chat Noir smirking.

"No need to get explicit!" protests Ladybug.

"Why is that? Are you getting jealous of Marinette purrhaps?" says Chat Noir, now grinning.

"Brother! Stop teasing Ladybug! We have an akuma to fight!" reprimands him Kitty.

"I know, but the akuma will come to us. Trust me, I'm from the future" says Chat Noir.

"What do you mean it will come to us?" asks Kitty Noire.

"Well, why do you think your future hubby told you to leave him under us?" says Chat Noir. "He's going to bait it towards us, I'll destroy the ground under Eiffel's Tower, Kitty destroys the akumatized object and Ladybug purifies the akuma and cleanses everything".

"WHAT?!" exclaim the heroines at unison.

"Yeah, I don't like the plan either, but it's what happened before and it has to be done exactly in the same way" says Chat Noir shrugging. "When Eiffel's Tower collapses on the akuma, you'll see a white band, destroy that".

"If we get out of this one, I'm going to kick both of your butts before cleansing everything!" exclaims Ladybug angry.

"I'm sorry about this Buggaboo, it is how it is. Use your luacky charm for me?" says Chat making puppy eyes.

"Lucky Charm!" chants reluctantly Ladybug. A spray bottle falls on her hand and she instantly knows what to do with it. "You'll get your punishment later Chaton".

"I hate those ottles" says Chat Noir half hissing at the bottle.

"And you're supposed to be a grown cat?" says Kitty sarcastically.

"Say what you want, it's nearly impossible to get you in a bath in the future. Marin has developed amazing skills with the ropes just to neutralize you, thought I'm sure he uses them for something else as well" says Chat Noir smirking.

"Too much information Chat! And you know that's completely false!" says Marin as he rushes under the tower, being followed by the akuma.

"Now!" says Chat Noir jumping and cataclysming the floor, making Eiffel's tower fall on top of the akuma immobilizing them.

Kitty Noire had grabbed Marin before he fell into the pit created by Chat's cataclysm. "Wait here for me. I'll kill you later!"

"Catacysm the white band Kitty!" says Marin as he frees himself.

"Cataclysm!" chants Kitty before furiously hitting the akuma's white band.

As Kitty hits the akumatized object, the white band begins to crumble and slowly turns to dust. From the dust, the akuma emerges and tries to escape, but Ladybug reacts quickly enough to catch it and purify it. When the battle is definitely over, she hits Marin with her spray bottle and sprays chat with the water, clearly annoyed by their plan. At the same time, Kitty hits her brother with her baton and the procedes to slap Marin with tears on her eyes. Before the stupefacted boys can react, Ladybug evokes her Miraculous Cure and cleanses all the damage caused by the figh and by the akuma, thus sending the boys back to their respective time and returning Marin and Chat Noir to the present.

"Oh come on! I finally had finished cooking!" complains Marin.

"Hey, I don't mind to be back, but this kitten is still hungry" says Chat Noir. Then, they notice the angry expression from Ladybug ad Kitty's crying face and they shut up awkwardly.

"Um... Hello?" says Marin.

Kitty hugs him. "You idiots!"

"I'm glad to se you too?" says Marin blushing a bit. "Uh... Kitty? Mind giving me a bit of room to breath?"

"I don't want to! I was very worried thanks to your stupid future self!" says Kitty hugging him tighter.

"Okey... It seems there's a lot you have to explain us...2 says Chat Noir.

"No explanations for you! You'll agree to Marin risking his life!" says Ladybug still pissed.

"Woah there Milady! Calm down a bit for me? I don't know what did my future self exactly do but I want to be alive to make something I promised in the future" says Chat Noir.

"Chat, not the moment to worry about kissing my sister! Help me a bit in here!" demands Marin trying to escape the iron-clad grip of Kitty's hug. "My intestines are about to go take a tour to the outside of my body!"

"K-Kiss?!" says Ladybug blushing. She begins to hit Chat Noir. "You horny cat!"

"Why am I being punished for? I swear my intentions were pure! I wasn't thinking on passionatelly kissing Marinette until I'm out of breath!" says Chat trying to protect himself.

"Bad choice of words dude" says Marin as Ladybug gets more flustered. "Kitty? Please, I need to breath".

"I'll only let you go if you promise me something!" says Kitty Noire.

"Whatever you want! I need oxygen!" says Marin.

"Then kiss me! Be my boyfriend!" exclaims Kitty Noire blushing and Marin turns red.

"Kitty, let go off me" says Marin suddenly serious.

She let's him go, afraid of having pissed him, but he takes her hand and guides her somewhere else. "Wh- Where are we going?"

"Somewhere more private... Like here" says Marin before turning to Kitty Noire and kissing her pasionatelly. "I- I want to be your boyfriend. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"YES!" squeals Kitty and kisses Marin.

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

"WAAAUUAAAAAAAHHH!"

Chloe Bourgeois counted herself lucky that she had been on the way to the wedding of her one-time object of affection, Adrien Agreste, when she heard the outcry. The antics of Crepe Of Wrath had gone completely unnoticed by the future fashion magnate because she was too busy making sure her hair and makeup were flawless. If she was going to let go of Adrien once and for all, she was going to make sure he would know what he was missing when he glanced in her direction.

And now, some ninny was screaming and interrupting her mental preparations for finding someone new to crush on. Rolling down the window of her limo, she began to shout, "HEY! WHAT IS THE IDEA OF-"

Oh no.

What the hell was Marinette Dupain-Cheng doing flying through the air — especially in that billowy wedding gown, all white poofs and elegance? Maybe she would hit the pavement and become a greasy splatter. What else was going to lift her spirits than seeing her rival for Adrien's affections meeting an untimely demise?

But no such luck. Chat Noir sailed out of nowhere and snagged her out of the air before she could strike ground. Fine. As much as that would have simplified her life, she couldn't deny that in the back of her mind she actually was glad that she didn't witness one of her Françoise Dupont High schoolmates die - at least, right in front of her. That would have been gross.

Besides, Marinette might have deserved to lose Adrien, but not death. Even someone as irritating as her was a human being.

When the limo finally came to a stop in front of the church, she saw Marinette rushing up to the crowd congregated out front. There was some kind of discussion, tears were shed… boring. Because it wasn't about her. Just as Chloe opened her door to exit the limo, too impatient for her servant to do the honors-

"CHLOE!"

Before she had enough time to do anything more than squeak out "Marinette Dupain-Cheng, just what on Earth do you-", she found herself being shoved backward into the vehicle again as a well-dressed bride climbed in after her.

"Chloe, I will let you put a picture of my underwear all over the internet if you drive away right now!"

Oh, that was too good to pass up. Chloe bade her driver to take off from the curb, even though a couple of fists had begun to pound on the windows just then. What did she care? Money would take care of their commoner fingerprints.

"Well, I did what you wanted, you insane pleb. When do you cough up payment?"

"What?" Marinette was still too busy gasping for breath and fanning her face, trying to evaporate the sweat that was beginning to break out all over her pale skin. Disgusting. "I… what do you mean?"

Rolling her eyes, the blond primadonna folded her arms over her slight chest. "Are you even stupider than I thought? The deal was that I helped you make a getaway from whatever, and I get to post nudes. Your reputation is history, Dupain-Cheng."

Drooping visibly, she whined, "Aww… come on, Chloe, have a heart. I just really wanted to get away from there, I…" Her eyes started to water. "He didn't show up."

He didn't? How horrible. Marinette must have been devastated. Well, Chloe was fresh out of hearts — at least, ones that bled for people who put themselves in situations like these by marrying someone who couldn't possibly love her when Chloe Bourgeois existed on the same planet. The way she saw it, the universe was correcting a cosmic mistake. "Boo hoo. Cry me a river. Start getting naked or I'll even make you take off your underwear."

"That's awful! And how are you going to make me do anything? All I have to do is jump out of this limo."

"Go ahead." Marinette tried. And failed. "The locks are controlled by my driver for safety reasons. Only I know the secret code to open them from back here. But don't worry; I will be very glad to kick you out. Just as soon as you live up to your end of our little deal."

The irritation in her rival's dopey face was priceless. Chloe lived for that. Even better when Marinette began struggling out of the wedding gown, grumbling and swearing under her breath all the while. Though probably not actually swearing; that didn't seem like the little goody two shoes at all.

However… the mayor's daughter's feelings begin to shift the more of Marinette's trim body she saw. Maybe she wasn't being entirely objective when she called her "ugly". Once the slip came off, Chloe found herself clearing her throat and looking away. Why? Wasn't this exactly what she wanted? To humiliate the object of all her rage and disgust?

"Okay, hurry up," the girl grumbled. "I just want you to drop me off at my place so I can forget this day ever happened."

When Chloe turned and raised her phone, she had been expecting to see something cute, like strawberry patterns or pink bows. Juvenile, like Marinette. Why was she so shocked to see the red-and-black lace? It wasn't that weird — especially considering it was supposed to be the brat's wedding night.

"Chloe? Um…" Marinette was shifting awkwardly, cheeks beginning to turn red. "Can you hurry up and take the picture, if you're going to?"

"R-right! Of course, let's make sure you're humiliated everywhere." But her finger hesitated over the shutter button. Why? She couldn't possibly have been feeling any kind of sympathy for this pustule on the face of society.

Nope. Marinette deserved it several times over. So she took a couple of pictures. "That's it… now turn around and let me see that nonexistent derriere of yours."

The absolutely flushed baker-slash-designer did as she was asked, her high heels clattering to the floorboard of the limo as she knelt on the seat. Hips shifting awkwardly from side to side. Chloe felt her heart racing now; this was obscene. And why on Earth was her body reacting to it? What was wrong with her?!

"Well? Did you get it?"

"Don't… rush me…" Click. Now she felt like a total pervert for taking these pictures, even though she knew the purpose was to humiliate this dunce whom had been a thorn in her side throughout her entire school career.

Wasn't it?

"Chloe, you really are the worst," she breathed, eyes brimming with tears as she looked off out the window. As if trying to distract herself.

"No, you're the worst." But the whole situation had her second-guessing herself so badly that she sighed and bit her lip. "Looking like that… making it weird."

"What do you mean, I'm making it weird?! You're taking pictures of my butt!"

"I-I am not!" She was. "Okay, but they're for blackmail purposes! Or something!"

"I thought they were as payment for the escape…?"

"Sh-shut up!" Sighing, she put her phone away, still staring at Marinette's pert little rear. For some reason. "I'm… oh, just get out of this limo before I actually do post these."

Marinette was clearly stunned when she turned and sat down, looking at Chloe. "Wait… I thought you already did. And whoa, why are you blushing?!"

"I'm not blushing, you're blushing."

"Well, yeah! But you are, too. Is everything alri-"

"Shut UP! Just shut up, alright?! Making everything difficult, always ticking me off and- j-just GO AWAY!"

Marinette started trying to struggle back into her dress, clearly panicked by the irate tone of her rival. And of course, she was so klutzy that every movement basically set her back to the start; she dropped her shoes, picked up her dress, slipped on her slip and dropped everything again. But something about the way she was crying and undressed, and the way she finally collapsed into sobs because nothing was going right…

Chloe… wasn't laughing at her. For some reason.

"It's alright," she finally sighed irritably, kneeling next to her on the floorboards and patting her shoulder awkwardly. "You can't help that you're stupid, and lame, and Adrien obviously realised he was making a mista-"

Her words cut off when she felt arms flinging themselves around her body. Marinette was sobbing into her shoulder. Just because of that insignificant shred of sympathy?! Clearly this dumb girl was overwrought, and not even the queen of the school could bring herself to push her away because the sobs were just so pathetic.

And… her back was really soft. She smelled sweet, like macarons and sunshine. Chloe felt her brow furrowing as she embraced her a little tighter.

"I'm sorry," Marinette finally breathed brokenly as she clutched at her back hard.

"W-watch it, this is a Versace blouse." She cleared her throat, petting over her soft raven locks. "It's worth more than your life, you boob."

"S-sorry for that, too, then. Aughhhh…" She drew back, swiping hard at her eyes. Why did she miss that hug already? "Thanks for getting me out of there, and like… p-putting up with my breakdown."

"This was bound to happen. But… yeah. Um, and you should get out of here before I change my mind."

"It doesn't matter," Marinette sighed as she started struggling back into her dress in the confined space. At some point, a foot smooshed into Chloe's face, and she sputtered and squealed words that were incoherent due to the high volume. "Ngh… you still have the pics, you can blackmail me anytime. Doesn't matter."

"Oh yeah? That's what's bothering you? Gimme your stupid phone, stupid."

Marinette did. And Chloe snapped a quick selfie from a very low angle and handed it back. The dumbfounded girl whispered, "Did you just… take a… a p-p-"

"I believe it is called an 'upskirt'," Chloe grunted, even as her cheeks burned brilliant crimson. "And you're such a goody-two-shoes that you would never post it anywhere unless provoked. So there; it's insurance. Get out of here."

They were quiet as Marinette finished dressing, though she still looked disheveled. The limo dropped her off in front of the bakery. Just as Chloe moved to close the door, the ex-bride suddenly asked a pertinent question.

"Wait - why didn't you just delete my pictures? Why take one of your underwear on my phone, instead, Chloe?"

"That's… I'm-" Why did she have to have a valid point? "DON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP?!" She slammed the door shut and snapped, "Drive!"

The answer, of course, was that she had no idea. But given the way that she kept taking out her phone to glance at Marinette's lithe form, Chloe Bourgeois had an inkling - one that she was going to stubbornly ignore until it went away. Hopefully.

"I hate you, Marinette Dupain-Cheng," the panicking princess muttered as her heart thudded loudly in her chest, thumbs caressing up and down the sides of her phone screen. "Hate you with a passion."

Thoughts on ML - "Startrain"

I LOOOOOOVED the episode.

My Adrienette-shipping heart weeps tears of joy

Marinette didn't act like a dunce for once, thank ZAG

I'm actually pretty surprised she didn't even yelp when she realized Adrien took Alya's place

Tfw when your whole class ships you

LeSbiAns (they're really hammering it in in any "family-friendly" way possible now, lol)

Pegase might actually be my favorite superhero design. He doesn't look... horsey enough in my opinion (then again, can't really do much with a horse) at first glance, but he actually does look like a different person and has this cool secret agent vibe and the hair, THE HAIR

Transformation is 9/10, attack animation 10/10, love it.

Lady Bird!AU pt2

Only one person kinda asked, (probably since I'm still new here, and it's Kagami), but it's not like that was actually gonna stop me from writing a 24+ bullet list for this AU. ᕕ( ՞ ᗜ ՞ )ᕗ

🐞Thanks to some convenient time alterations; Kagami got the earrings after the first incident with Stoneheart. Marinette saw her taking tryouts for that year's fencing lessons, and made the decision based on her interpretation of Kagami's personality, that she would make a better heroine.

(So basically another What-Would've-Happened-if-Mari-Had-Given-Up-the-Earrings-After-Stoneheart?plot, but to someone other than Alya.)

🐾She IS a great hero. Chat Noir still falls for her courage, righteousness, and intelligence. The only problem: Lady Bird's too serious. She believes that so much responsibility should be handled as a job, not a joyrun.

🐞She despises how aloof Chat acts, treating him like he's a child, sidekick, or just inferior, for not treating Hawkmoth's threat as something as dangerous as it is.

🐾Adrien goes to the same school as Kagami, since nO OVERBEARING PARENT WOULD ACTUALLY LET THEIR CHILD ATTEND A SCHOOL THAT WAS THE FIRST TARGET OF THE LATEST SUPERVILLAIN?!?!? ((speaking as someone who HAS an overprotective control freak of a parent!)))

🐞Though, that was only after D'Argencourt (the fencing teacher) convinced Gabriel that group classes were a good idea for Adrien's skill development, where he met Kagami, and later convinced his father to let him attend her school.

🐾Chat Noir still has the habit of throwing himself in front of/sacrificing himself for Lady Bird, still resulting in the akuma controlling him.

🐞Lady Bird snaps after one too many times trying to fight him and the akuma; feeling like she's done all the heavy lifting, and been the only one taking it seriously, and she's just so stressed.

She told him that he and the first Ladybug were the wrong choices for heroes.

🐾Adrien is depressed because sh*t, with his life, it's pretty obvious no one wants him for him. His mom is gone (for all he knows she left, probably without saying goodbye,) his dad is a cold dou**e and completely discourages Adrien being himself, his first 'partner' ALSO left without a word, and now his new partner completely despises him when he was just trying to help.

🐞The people of Paris actually are NOT fans of Chat Noir, either.

🐾They follow Lady Bird's projected opinion; that he's a goof-off sidekick. And not to mention he can literally destroy anything. It's actually kinda scary, to think a power like that is in the hands of an irresponsible kid.

🐞Marinette has issues because she realizes what an opportunity she passed up, and how she feels unfulfilled, now, without the miraculous. It doesn't really tear her up inside, until she has the run-in with Chat Noir, on the night of Glaciator.

🐾Lo and behold, she realized that Chat isn't quite as much of an insufferable dunce as everyone believes, and is really pretty mad that people have thought that for so long, because he was her partner, and he is a good person.

🐞THAT'S the reason Marinette and Kagami become rivals. Because Mari decides to put the blame for all that on Kagami. (She knows it was her own fault giving up Tikki— But she still feels like she wasn't meant to be a hero; But it's still not justifying Lady Bird taking it out on Chat.)

🐾Kagami doesn't actually understand why Marinette is so snarky to her all of a sudden during any run-ins, since she doesn't know that she was Ladybug, but honestly she doesn't really care. (She makes accidental enemies all the time, if people don't like to be buttered up, they don't have to talk to her.)

🐞Marinette ends up becoming Chat Noir's main supporter, showing up to the battles with Alya for the Ladyblog and basically being the only one cheering him on, and Adrien does what he can to help her with her fashion career and overall happiness, too.

🐾She's his first choice when Master Fu gives him a miraculous for an extra hand.

🐞Right— since Adrien is going to school with Kagami, when he finds the book and brings it to school, Kagami is the one who sees it while they're studying. But since she can't justifiably take it, Tikki tells Plagg that Adrien has to bring it to Master Fu, so he's now the one with the majority of intel.

🐾Kagami, however, found it suspicious that some fairly random guy would have something pertaining to the Miraculous. Especially since they seemed to be such a well-kept secret. She decided to investigate by herself. Skip Volpina, straight to The Collector.

🐞It's written off to her as Gabriel was just a collector of rare items, and she and Adrien dismiss him as a suspect for Hawkmoth.

🐾Kagami does have a crush on Adrien, but he sees her as another really good friend. Unlike our cannon Marinette, however, she doesn't ultimately get outwardly jealous or disappointed when he says he doesn't have feelings for her, because she has some decency and respect for him a different personality, like every realistic human is respectably varied in that department.

🐞Chat Noir secretly adopts himself into the Dupain-Cheng family, they don't object because they like having him around, and Tom insists it's safer.

🐾I feel I should mention Tom was already Chat Noir's biggest fan, and got super excited the first time they met.

🐞Yes, a lot of the romance is MariChat, for a multitude of reasons that I'll go into if asked, but for now, would just deviate into a tangent right here. So I'll just say, while LadyNoir is my OTP, I believe MariChat is just,,, critically important to a healthier relationship with each other? (;-;)

🐾I also saw someone point out that it would be interesting to see what would've happened if Adrien and Marinette had met Kagami and Luka first, and how it could have affected their implicated 'soulmate' status quo. I second this, and I like to see where/how it does fit in this AU.

(There was much more to that post that I also support, but this is what's relevant here.)

🐞This started dragging on about four bullets ago, so— while I'm still super gun-ho about this— I'll give you all a break anyways. ;D

Damien:

It started with the wine

Adrien:

The wine

Damien:

The wine!

We were shopping for a bottle to bring to a cousin's soiree

Adrien:

My cousin, the sous chef, she's very gourmet

Damien:

I grabbed my favorite cabernet

Adrien:

He's got no clue and so I say:

Darling, the wine

Damien:

The wine?

Adrien:

The wine!

They're serving monkfish, so darling

The wine can't be red

How 'bout this Austrian Riesling instead?

Damien:

Honey, you know I don't like the Riesling

When have you ever seen me drink Riesling?

Adrien:

Never, but can't you listen this once?

Red wine and fish? You'll look like a dunce

Damien:

Fine!

I'll bring the red

You bring the white

That way I'll still get drunk

You'll still be right

Adrien:

Fine

Damien:

Fine

Adrien:

Fine

Adrinette April Day 20 - Scarf

@adrinetteapril

AO3 | Fanfiction | Wattpad

Week 1: Just Friends - Day 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Week 2: Falling in Love - Day 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14

Week 3: Reveal - Day 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20

Sorry for the delay. I'm sick rn 🤒

"Hey Princess, do you still have some sewing commissions this weekend?" Adrien asked after their class ended.

"No, I don't have one yet, Kitty. Why?"

"I would like you to fix something for me," the blond said as he scratched his neck incessantly. "I...somehow damaged an important item that was given to me as a gift."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Did you bring it with you?"

"Oui," he answered then rummaged something in his bag. "I'm not sure if it was Plagg's fault or what but the threads are starting to get loose."

Marinette felt like someone punched an air out of her gut when he presented her a blue scarf.

The exact scarf that she gave to him on his birthday.

"It's my most favorite scarf since it's blue and so comfy during winter," he told her. "Did you know that my father gave this to me on my birthday?"

"Y - Yeah! I - I heard you when you told Nino about it!" she sputtered as she averted her gaze from his green, observant eyes. "Y - You were so happy about it!"

"I see."

There was something odd on his tone but she brushed it off casually. She pried the blue scarf from his hands to check the seams.

"You might have snagged it by accident. Probably a zipper or some sharp item when you put it in the laundry."

"Is it repairable?"

"Of course," she told her with a wry smile. "O - Once I found the exact shade and quality of the yarn used here, I - I can finish this in just a day."

"Oh, thank you, my Lady. You're awesome as always."

"I'm horrible, Tikki," Marinette bemoaned as she slammed her head repeatedly on her study desk. She has been doing that for almost an hour after she finished dinner.

"You should have told him the truth, Marinette," the red kwami replied while cradling her second cookie. "I don't think Adrien will be mad at you for keeping it as a secret."

"But I don't want to crush his happiness for the sake of truth!"

"How about your happiness?"

Marinette was not able to provide an answer. Instead, she pulled out the blue yarn she had used to create the scarf and began to mend the loose strings on the article in silence.

"His happiness is my happiness, Tikki." she finally said as her hands busied itself knitting. "I don't mind being just his friend forever. I know it hurts, but seeing his genuine smile is worth the pain. You don't need to worry about me..."

She held back a scream when familiar green eyes were staring at her on the glass window. He waved his gloved hand excitedly then pointed her skylight door, gesturing her that it was locked.

"Cha - Adrien?! What are you doing here?!" the girl hissed as she slammed the door open. "You startled me, you stupid cat!"

"Forgive me, my Princess, but I came bearing some gifts," he released his transformation then handed her a bag of potato chips and popcorn. "Since it's Friday night with no homework or upcoming tests next week, not to mention that you don't have commissions to be done this weekend, I was wondering if we can have some anime marathon tonight?"

She darted him a beady glare "If this is another Shippuuden or Ouran High School shit again, I swear I'm going to kick your ass out of my balcony."

The blond gasped incredulously with a hand clutching his chest "How rude, my Lady! Naruto is an all-time favorite hero and Tamaki is a legendary gentleman!" before she could sass back, he passed her a DVD case. "What I have here is a fashion-themed anime. Have you heard about Paradise Kiss?"

She scrunched her nose cutely, which told him that she didn't know it yet curious to know the story.

"Alright, I will let you in because you have some food." she sighed exasperatedly. "Make sure you clean your paws first before you jump on my duvet."

"Absolutely!"

Adrien was barefooted, wearing a loose drawstring pajama pants and a white cotton shirt. Ever since their reveal, he would often drop by at night wearing his most comfortable clothes like sleepwear or onesie jammies. Sometimes he would spend the entire evening there and sleep on her chaise lounge then wake up and leave before Nathalie noticed his absence.

It was a common routine for them, and Marinette didn't want to change it for a bit.

"What's this, Princess?" Adrien picked the blue yarn that was attached to his scarf. "How come you have the yarn already?"

"Ah, uh...I didn't know I have that yarn lying around." she lied, grabbing the yarn and the article away from his privy hands.

"With the same shade and quality?"

"Ye-Yeah! Ca - Can't you believe it?" she winced at her squeaky voice. "N - Now let me tidy up my things so that we can watch that Paradise Kiss - "

"You don't need to lie to me, Marinette."

The raven-haired girl paused then forced herself to look at his emerald hues with guilt " Wh - What?"

"I already know the truth about the scarf, my Lady," the blond reached out for her as they sat on the chaise lounge. "I might be a dunce, but I pay attention to details. Remember what you said during the bowler hat competition? You said that you always sign your creations."

She gulped audibly when he flipped the edge of the scarf and traced the subtle linings by his finger, "I might have missed it if I wear this on rare occasions."

"I'm sorry, Kitty," Marinette groaned, covering her face with her hands. "I didn't mean to hide the truth from you. It's just that...I don't want to spoil your happiness."

"But I feel like a fool for being happy with something that is not real."

"I know but..." she dropped her hands on her lap and chewed her bottom lip "We weren't that close that time, Adrien. Besides, you already announced it to everyone that your father gave you this scarf. What do you think you will do if I told you the truth back then?"

"I will thank you for the wonderful gift that you have given to me."

She shook her head "You might, but you will never treat this scarf the same way as you always did before you know the truth."

There were a few beats of silence before he uttered "I'm such a terrible person."

"Huh?"

"I'm terrible, Marinette. I'm a horrible and very inconsiderate friend." he raked his blond locks out of frustration. "Never once had I ever treasured your gifts - like the Santa hat for example; I gave it to Santa without any second thoughts. The lucky charm that I'm so proud of? I almost lost it on the subway. And now the scarf that I claimed to love..."

One of her hands wrapped around his clenched fists while the other caressed his cheek "Hey, look at me Chaton. Look at me, please."

Marinette couldn't help but chuckled when Adrien turned his head with puckered lips. "You did nothing wrong, Kitty. You made a good call when you gave your hat to Santa Claus, and it wasn't your fault that the lucky charm fell on your pocket - and you never lost it since I found it on Gorizilla. About the scarf...well, that's inevitable."

"You mean I'm careless."

"This is the first scarf that I've ever made," she said as she took the material from his lap. "So it's not as sturdy as my recent knitted creations. I'm glad that you allowed me to fix this because I can correct those knitting mistakes that I've made and at the same time, I can make this bigger enough to accommodate your new measurement. If you want, I can add some trinkets like pawprints or ladybugs."

"What can I do to repay your kindness?" he asked with sincerity.

"These material gifts are nothing compared to the countless times that you saved me." she smiled. "I want nothing in this world but your happiness, Adrien."

He pulled her closer "I'm happy as long as you're happy, Marinette."

Bonus:

"Hey, Princess, can you also add 'I'm fur-eezing!' line on my scarf?"

"No."
