Kim: Man, this Monarch guy sucks ass. I'm glad that Hawkmoth dude is gone, though.

Alya: What? No, it's the same man. He just uses a different name now.

Kim: Huh? Oh, I get it! Is this like how Marinette dresses up and calls herself Ladybug sometimes?

Alya: What? No she doesn't! …who told you?

Kim: Wait, that was supposed to be a secret? Oh shit, sorry!

Kim: How about Adrien and Chat Noir, is that a secret too?

cuddles & movies on a lazy afternoon

pairing: adrien agreste x gn!reader

summary: you watch a movie with your boyfriend and the two of you end up falling asleep while cuddling...

tags: established romantic relationship, wholesome & sweet fluff, cuddling, use of y/n, falling asleep in adrien's arms

"y/n?"

the flickering images on the tv were the only thing lightening up adrien's otherwise dark room. outside, the sun had almost fully vanished, only peaking out from behind a few buildings. the city had gone quiet and was mostly lit up by dim street lights. 

you were laying in adrien's arm, cuddled up against the blonde model. your chest heaves with each breath of yours, slowly sinking again as you exhale. as adrien whispered your name, you didn't seem to react to it. 

"did you fall asleep?" 

adrien gently caressed your cheek, stroking a strand of hair out of your face, to get a better look at you. your eyes were closed and the boy was certain now why you didn't reply to him earlier; you truly were asleep. 

adrien reached out for the remote that he had earlier left on the armrest of the couch, trying not to move too watch, so he wouldn't wake you accidentally. he still kept an arm around your waist, keeping you close to him. when he finally got his hands on the remote, he turned down the volume of the movie and cuddled up against you again. 

while the movie kept running in the background, adrien barely even looked at the screen anymore. instead, the boy's eyes were on you. you looked so peaceful, sleeping in his arms. he gently ran his hands through your hair, playing with it and twirling it around his finger, smiling softly. 

adrien was a little worried he might wake you up, but you were out like a light. 

he blinked slowly, a silent yawn escaping his lips. adrien hadn't even been this tired, but now that you were sleeping in his arms, now that he was so close he could feel your heart beating, he could finally let down his guard. he wasn't sure if he had ever felt this comfortable and carefree before than in this moment with you. 

adrien pulled you a bit closer to him, letting your head rest comfortably on his chest, before he finally closed his eyes as well and drifted asleep.

Enemies AU where Adrien is influenced by his father into becoming his super villain sidekick, but slowly falls for ladybug (from hate for making him fail in front of his father to grudging respect for her capabilities to a weird fondness since she is the only one to be able to weather all the ugliest harshest sides of him that he lets go of in his super villain persona)

Meanwhile Marinette has a minor crush on Adrian (but way less than in cannon because his civilian self is a bit more reserved and apathetic and maybe never bothered to detach himself from Chole even though he doesn't care for her, but Marinette still thinks he might be alright underneath it, it's just a bit of a shame he doesn't seem to try harder)

PT 2

[d011zk1ll]

Trying to get my writing brain in order so I was on Pinterest and saw some pretty cool quotes I wanted to write a couple snippets around as a warm up

Sabine stared up at the thing that wasn't her daughter, jaw agape.

She had never been infected with that damn butterfly before, and Sabine had been convinced she never would. But, she supposed, when your friends and family turned their backs on you to believe a random girl and her absurd lies, it was only a matter of time.

The thing that was not marinette but not a different entity spoke, though her eyes were covered by a blindfold the same purple as her dress, she could sense Sabine and her presence.

"don't worry, mother." The voice was unmistakably Marinette's, she had heard it thousands of times but it still sounded wrong. Like it was stolen and planted in a demon's throat. The creature moved towards Sabine, and she didn't move back. This was her baby girl, she had failed to be a good mother and deserved what punishment this variant of her daughter deemed her worthy of. She expected pain, but was met by the soft glove of the akuma's thumb wiping her tears away. "Your daughter is a soldier."

Marinette was falling. She sunk deeper and deeper into the water, trying desperately to claw her way out and to the top- failing as her arms turned to stone.

Eventually, she couldn't see anything but the white sky, tainted blue by the water she was under. She would do anything to see more.

But moments later, when her wish was granted, she took it back.

She didn't want to see those sharp, slitted blue eyes and tousled white mane. His mouth curved into a pointed smile.

A brush of purple and red swiped behind him and he spun, wrapping his arms around a woman with a lovesick smile. He gestured to the water, showing the woman.

The lady peered over the edge, mouth tilted down and expression unreadable because of a dark purple blindfold.

No matter the cover, she recognised her all the same.

Princess justice, Marinette, Ladybug. At the end of the day they were all the same, weren't they?

A gloved hand dove into the water, reaching for the stone Marinette and she shot awake, panting and sweating.

Tikki stared up at her, hugging the edge of her palm in comfort.

"how do you destroy a monster without becoming one?" She asked shakily, voice quivering in nothing short of pure, unadulterated fear.

Tikki didn't reply, only clinging tighter.

ladynoir 12 for the drabble prompts!

Hey Nicole!

So, you did prompt #12 (also yay! my favorite number!), which ended up corresponding to Love Don't Die by The Fray!

I'll admit, it took me a while to figure out what to do with this one, but I ended up taking the angst route lol

This is a PRPR fic, where Chat Noir and Hawkmoth's identities have been revealed to the public (Ladybug is still unknown though)...

anyways... hope you enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Instead I'm Never Leaving You

“LADYBUG! LADYBUG! OVER HERE!” The shouting and blaring lights of overzealous reporters threatened to overwhelm her, but she blinked back spots and stood her ground. She reminded herself why she was here. Why was she standing alone with only the bare vestiges of a whisper of his hand in hers, of his warmth radiating next to hers, a stolen moment taken from only moments ago, but feeling like a lifetime past. 

One eager reporter with bright purple hair and a sharp haircut broke from the fold and shoved her microphone underneath Ladybug’s face. 

“Ladybug, what do you have to say about the rumors of your partner being Adrien Agreste?” 

Ladybug pursed her lips and fought against the building headache in her temple. 

“No comment.”

This was not to discourage the enthusiastic reporter, who pushed the microphone even further into Ladybug’s face, its plastic scent was beginning to make her nauseous. 

“And what do you have to say about the allegations of famed fashion designer Gabriel Agreste being Hawkmoth, and about the potential implications of Chat Noir being the son of Hawkmoth?”

Forever on the defense for her partner, this time, Ladybug could not hold herself back from speaking. 

“The identity of Hawkmoth, regardless of who he is, has no effect on Adrien Agreste, who has never done anything to harm Paris, and it certainly has nothing to do with Chat Noir, who has spent every waking moment defending all of Paris, including myself.” Ladybug could feel her face turning a bright red, as her voice rang clear with righteous fury.

For a moment the crowd around her silenced, until a voice in the crowd, to which she could put no face, piped in.

“Ladybug, don’t you think that we’d be better off without Chat Noir? How could you trust your partner, if these are the kinds of people he spends his time with?”

She was going to be sick. 

Surely he had been watching the crowd, surely he knew that they had given voice to the seeds of doubt growing heartily in the back of his mind.

Ladybug looked around helplessly for an exit, then remembered the trusty yo-yo hooked against her side.

“I’m sorry everyone but I have to go.”

With an eager fling, she catapulted herself into the air and made her way to the nearby rooftop that she knew he’d be hiding behind.

It wasn’t fair. With merely a grainy video taken by an invasive fan, which had showcased a side view of what looked to be Adrien’s Agreste’s face, after Chat Noir’s transformation. And had been posted to social media barely two days after the arrest of Hawkmoth suspect #1 Gabriel Agreste, Adrien’s… Chat Noir’s life had been effectively ruined.

She blinked back angry tears for him, knowing that their being spotted would only hurt him more. 

When she caught sight of him, he was facing the opposite direction from where the crowd had been, as though he hadn’t caught the entire thing from his hideaway.

He heard her before he saw her.

“What they’re saying is true, you know.”

“Chaton,” She sighed, her shoulders drooping.

“You would be better off to drop me. I mean, who would blame you? I wouldn’t trust me either.”

The ache that settled in her heart became too much for her. Rather than fight against his untrue words, rather than remind him of how much she cared about him, about how much she needed him, she sat down beside him and leaned her head on his shoulder. 

There they sat, with only traffic and wind to harmonize the silence, until Ladybug felt pressure and tenseness ease from Chat Noir’s shoulders, until his head sloped onto hers.

“I’m sorry you had to hear that.” She said quietly, she took his hand and began to draw circles on his knuckles. 

He shrugged with feigned nonchalance. “It’s okay.”

Ladybug sat up abruptly and turned herself towards Chat Noir. She grabbed his face in her palms to make sure he could see the earnestness on her face.

“It’s not okay. No partner, no person is as kind, as giving, as loyal and– and as goodhearted as you. You don’t deserve this treatment. What your father did was awful, but it’s not in any way a reflection of you. You– you are the opposite of him in every way, and I’m sure if Alya and Nino were here right now, they’d agree with me.” 

Ladybug stroked Chat Noir’s cheekbone in a repetitive motion that managed to catch reluctant tears, haphazardly falling from his weary eyes. 

“I know everything in your life is insane right now, that people are confused and have turned you into something you are not. But know this Chaton. I am never leaving you, and I am not going to turn my back on our partnership. Because I know who you are and I will always love you for it. Minou, we will get through this like we get through everything, together.” 

Chat Noir finally released a shuddered breath and nuzzled his face into her palm. 

“Thank you M’lady.”

“Always Chaton.”

Thank you so much for the ask! <3

Request a lovesquare side and a number from my playlist for a drabble!

[rayraygo1267]

Heyyy Idk if U still active but I LOVE your Hesperia x Nathalie headcanons & I wanted to know if you could make a drabble outta one of them

I'm super into the fact that Hesperia is the spontaneous one so!! Drabble Yay or Nay?

Plus I binged Ur writing and ughhh I love it 💕💕

Greetings from Norway!!!

A Gabenath Drabble: A Creature of Wonder

Note: Hello! Hi! I’m so sorry it took me so long to reply to this! I’m so honored that you love my writing and my headcanons that really means a lot to me! Also I’ve heard a lot of great things about Norway I hear it’s very pretty there! Thanks for the greeting! 😊

Anyway I know this fic is a little longer than a drabble is supposed to be but I hope you enjoy it! 💓💕💓💕

Word Count: 428

Summary: Hesperia drags Nathalie out on a midnight adventure much to her chagrin and anxiety but perhaps he can prove to her that this little outing was worth it for both her and someone else.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“I don’t think you realize how risky this is,” Nathalie grumbled for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past hour.

“Shh!”

The soft pad of Hesperia’s pointer finger met the bow of her lips.

She scoffed, a flurry of both slighted annoyance and poignant worry swarming through her. Her voice pitched to a slightly higher, reverent whisper.

“You can’t be out here! Bobbling about! Out in the open! You can’t—”

“Shh! Look…” Hesperia interrupted, his voice low, his gaze focused on something in the shadows of the forlorn alleyway.

The eeriness of this little secret midnight escapade left a tangle of knots in Nathalie’s stomach, causing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand on end.

She huffed as Hesperia gently set her down on the cool pavement, his hands remaining on her shoulders. She blinked, allowing her eyes to adjust to the darkness surrounding them.

She gasped.

It wasn’t obvious right away, but if she looked closely, she could see the outline of what looked to be a little insect… something white? A moth perhaps? Or…

“A kamiko?” Nathalie murmured, her hand instinctively reaching out for the little creature.

“Look closer…” Hesperia whispered, his lips grazing against her ear.

Nathalie’s brows furrowed. The kamiko’s wings fluttered quickly, but it did not take off. It was stuck, somehow trapped between two throngs of twisted barbed wire covering the security gate blocking one side of the alleyway.

“Oh, the poor thing…” Nathalie cupped her hands, leaning closer.

“How come it won’t come to you?” Nathalie asked, while trying to coax the kamiko forward from its mini prison.

Hesperia chuckled, his blue eyes glistening.

“This one isn’t attracted to me.”

Nathalie snorted and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at that comment.

“Oh, please, how can a butterfly not love a butterfly-loving man like yourself?” she asked, teasing.

Hesperia smiled, soft and fond.

“Because kamikos respond to emotions, especially strong ones like love.”

Nathalie’s face heated, but she covered it well with another eye roll, though she was distracted by the feeling of a soft, tickling flutter against her palms.

She looked down to see that the little kamiko had made its way into her hands. She smiled, her heart melting as she nurtured it.

“Oh, and look at that,” Hesperia mused, “he’s found a home… with you,” Hesperia paused, a smirk on his lips as he kissed her cheek, “just as I have.”

Nathalie grinned, pressing her lips to his. She opened her palms between their embrace and set the little creature of wonder free.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading! I hope you liked it! I also want to apologize again for how long it took me to get this out and also for any grammatical errors.

Again thanks for reading and I’m open to any and all requests!

"ALYA! ALYA! You'll never guess what just happened!"

"What— Was there another akuma alert? Do you need my help?"

"No!" Marinette giggled, clutching onto her flip phone. "My favorite author. On AgresteAdventures. Posted again!"

Alya set down her pendant, feeling like an idiot for immediately scrambling to action. She could already picture Marinette lying on her bed with her laptop—the one covered in cute strawberry stickers and photographs of Adrien. Resigning herself, Alya sat back down at her desk.

"Okay," she muttered. "What's it about?"

Marinette let out a few more mischievous giggles, pressing the phone up close to her face to whisper into Alya's ear. "It's by AdriDaddyLovesYou... so it's a little, uhm.. on the dirty side~"

"...Yeah," Alya grumbled back. "I figured."

Marinette could barely contain her glee, kicking her feet as she scrolled through the webpage, looking over the explosion of comments. "You read the Potterfic I shared with you from AdriDaddy, right? The one where Adrien's Draco Malfoy?"

Alya remembered seeing in the description of that fic that it was written back when Adrien was 16. "You know, I read it and I don't think it was for me," she lied—Alya hadn't read it at all past the posting date. "Have you ever considered..."

"Gosh, you're right, I should ask him what he thinks!" Marinette squealed. "I bet I could read all of them to him, and he'd be like 'That's so hot, Marinette', and then I'd be like 'I know, right', and then he'd be like 'We should do that, babygirl', and then I'd be like—" She let out another long high-pitched squeal, kicking her feet as she rolled across her bed. "And it'd be perfect!"

Alya considered hanging up. But that wasn't what friends did to each other, unfortunately. Nor employees to their buggy employer.

---

"Well, well, well, would you look at that," Plagg drawled, "Someone posted again on your little fic forum."

Adrien's heart sank. He went over to his computer, where Plagg was juggling using the mouse with his hands and keyboard with his feet. "Why are you even searching that up, Plagg? You know how I feel about that."

"Uh, cause it's funny?" the cat smirked. "They get so much stuff wrong about you. Did you know half of them think you're 6'3"? They get into flame wars over that shit."

"Look, I don't- I don't want to give attention to it. My dad already enables it enough." Adrien swatted his kwami off the keyboard, taking control of the computer to click off the forum. "I just need to forget it exis—"

AdriDaddyLovesYou Posted: My Little Morning Star

Hello birdies~ AdriDaddy here ;) I was watching old clips of Emilie interviews and this really cute nickname stuck out to me! I thought about what it'd be like if our sexy little Prince Charming ever kept that name with him... Get your pitchers and sugar, cause we got lotsa lemon!!!

That was what his mom used when... He'd... How did they find that? Why would they look for that?

Adrien turned off his computer entirely. Trembling hands went over his mouth, for fear that the growing nausea would soon leak out between his teeth and spill over his desk.

"I... I don't care if you.. I-if you look up that shit about me, Plagg," he said. "Just please... don't let me know."

[wheredostarsgowhenyoudie]

Tim (yawns): So when are we killing Dick?

Mari: What? NO! Not like that, I mean-

Tim (frowns, cheeks hitting the desk as he buries his face in his arms): Then what are we doing here at 2AM if we're not-

Mari (sighs and pours him a mug): Have another cup of coffee, darling. You think like the walking dead.

[spotted-kittens]

I was rewatching Ephemeral and the implications of the fact that, to Marinette, the world has now nearly ended twice over revealed identities broke into my room and shot me in the face.

Because this show doesn't ever stop being horrible to Chatdrien.

I had to vent, so I wrote this in 20 minutes.

Takes place at the end of Ephemeral, in between when Marinette lands on her balcony and speaks to Su-Han.

(Read on AO3 or under the cut)

Cosmo Bug touched down more heavily than normal but hardly noticed. Her thoughts were a frantic, swirling mess. She powered down and sank down shakily to the rooftop she had landed on, trying to slow her panicked breathing. She had left Chat Noir quickly after their mission ended, and now she needed to think.

Sass had said… he said he thought… Shadowmoth…their miraculous…

They had lost.

But they had fixed it, somehow.

They had not only fixed the effects of Sass using his power, they had also prevented the wish from being made. The world was no longer ending, so they must have stopped Shadowmoth.

How?

They must have changed something. It was crucial that Ladybug understand this, so that she could prevent it from happening again.

But what did they change? What did they change that was so relevant to Shadowmoth and the miraculous?

What would they have done differently had Sass not intervened?

It hit her so suddenly she felt her head spin. She had been trying to learn Chat Noir's identity and had stopped when time had literally blown up. That's what she would have otherwise done.

It had to be it.

Something had happened because someone knew Chat Noir's identity, her or the Celestial Guardian or Viperion or…

Nobody could know.

Right now, both Alya and the Celestial Guardian knew her identity, but, as far as she knew, no one knew Chat Noir's in this timeline.

Ladybug realized she was shaking.

After Bunnyx came to fetch her to erase the timeline where Chat Blanc had happened, she had been so obsessed with the fact she had fixed it by protecting her identity that she had never stopped to consider her partner’s.

But then she had told Alya, and the world hadn't ended again. So even if the problem was her identity, the origin of the problem clearly was not Alya.

But what if the problem was not her identity but Chat's? What would this mean?

This was twice now the world had nearly ended over uncovered identities, but whose identity?

Her earrings beeped and her transformation came undone. She automatically put her hands out and let Tikki fall into them.

“Tikki…” she rasped, voice wavering. ”No one must ever find out who Chat is. I need to tell him.”

Tikki's face was a mask of concern, but her voice was a touch too hard to match. “Tell him what? You already tell him daily how important secret identities are. He already knows you shared your identity with someone, are you going to tell him he can't but you can? In so many words?”

Marinette's face crumbled further. “Then what should I do?”

Tikki looked down sadly and Marinette knew what she was going to say.

Nothing.

(Yes, I know Luka knows Chat's identity at this point, but Marinette doesn't know that.)

[trainsinanime]

“Wow, that’s low, even for you”, said Lila quietly.

“I have no idea what you mean”, replied Chloé haughtily.

“Oh no, I’m not judging, I’m just admiring. Getting Marinette arrested? That took some serious acting skills. It’s just game recognizing game, girl.”

“That’s ridiculous!”, replied Chloé. “I only told them the truth.”

Lila laughed briefly. “You told them that little miss goody two shoes was plotting to overthrow the Mayor. Come on, you could fool all these sheep in our class, but you can’t fool me.”

“It’s the truth!”, shouted Chloé. Lila just raised her eyebrow.

“I mean, it only makes sense, right? Marinette has stolen my Adrikins from me, and the class doesn’t respect me anymore, and my mother— of course she’ll go after my daddy next!“

Lila chuckled. “Oh god, you really believe the things you’re saying, don’t you? That’s a rookie mistake, bestie.”

She flashed Chloé her toothiest smile.

“Face it, you lied. Marinette probably never even thought about you or your dad until the handcuffs clicked.”

“That’s ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!”, shouted Chloé. “I’m her nemesis. I’m better than her. This entire school year is a competition, and I am winning, because I am the queen of this school!”

“All you are is an annoying pest, just buzzing around and annoying everyone,” said Lila. “I know buttons to push on Marinette that you never even thought about. And when my plan is complete, I am the one who is going to dethrone her.”

“You? Pff.” Chloé scoffed. “Nobody knows who you are. You sit in the back, you don’t talk to anybody, you make always make excuses to leave, and nobody even knows your name. Marinette doesn’t even remember you, but she will forever remember my heroic wrath!”

Lila stood up sharply.

“You’re so full of yourself, rich girl. Why do you even care so much who Marinette’s nemesis is?”

Chloé moved closer, right in Lila’s face.

“I. Do. Not. Care. At. All!”, she shouted.

“Well, neither do I, asshole!”, shouted Lila.

For a moment, they just looked at each other. Then Chloé said,

“So, do you wanna make out?”

an unexpected identity reveal

pairing: adrien agreste / chat noir x gn!reader

summary: the last thing you expected when you turned on the tv, was to see chat noir detransform into none other than your boyfriend adrien agreste...

tags: unplanned identity reveal, established romantic relationship, ladybug & chat noir fighting hawkmoth (& losing), angst with an open ending, crying!reader, injured!chat noir, identity reveal

"turn on the tv!"

"wha–?"

you barely had any time to realize what was going on, as your roomate burst into your room. 

"turn on the tv, now!!"

you did as you were told, quickly grabbing the remote and turning on the tv. you immediately saw what was going on. it was on every channel!

chat noir and ladybug were fighting hawkmoth on top of the eiffel tower. there were news helicopters circling around them, trying to film everything. it didn't look good for the two heroes, as they were cornered by hawkmoth, only able to defend themselves instead of getting offensive. 

and then it happened. 

hawkmoth landed a devastating hit on chat noir, slipping the hero's miraculous off his finger, before tossing him to the side. within seconds, chat noir detransformed and all the cameras were on him. 

your heart stopped when they finally managed to get a clear view on him. the blonde hair. those familiar clothes. you knew the boy behind the mask. you knew him very well. 

"is… is that… adrien..?"

your roommate stuttered out, in complete shock. you wanted to tell her she was wrong. you wanted it to be anyone else. just not him. you wanted to tell her that the boy laying there couldn't possibly be your boyfriend. that it wasn't adrien. 

but it was. it really was him. 

"n-no… he…" you tried to get up, but your legs felt so heavy. your body didn't react anymore and you just sat there helplessly. you wanted nothing more than to get up and run out there. but you just couldn't. 

"why..?" you gasped out, as your eyes started to fill with tears. 

why had adrien never told you about this? why did you have to find out like this. about adrien, your boyfriend, and chat noir, the hero of paris, both being the same person. 

and why wasn't he moving anymore? why didn't he get up and fight? why was he just laying there? 

you stared at the screen, desperate to see him move again. desperate to see anything that could indicate he was doing alright. the cameras were switching back and forth between your unmasked boyfriend and ladybug and hawkmoth fighting each other. 

until a few seconds later, the screen went black. 

you could still hear the noises from outside, the helicopters flying through paris. but you couldn't see him anymore. you didn't know if adrien was alright! all you could do was sit here and wait, hoping that the cameras would turn on again and that you would get to see him again, alive and well…

The Awakening drabble idea: Chat Blanc

A/N: My take on how Chat Blanc came to be in a fic idea based on the Awakening movieverse that I hope I can bring to life one day. Please enjoy!

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

Little kitty on a roof

Adrien is taken in by a dream of contentment, of friends and late night patrols with his trusted partner and the dark magic of Destruction. He dreams of yesteryears of warmth and laughter of a family, whole and hale. He's made to feel like he was more than an empty heart.

And then he claws his way out of the grave his body has become and tears the veneer of the ephemeral dream into shreds, coming alive to pain, confusion, madness--

All alone without his lady

-- and his own screaming.

[d011zk1ll]

Just realised I gave this to my discord server and forgot about my Tumblr so take some gay babies at a hero's gala!!

[wield-the-mighty-pen]

I love playlist Drabble games! Can you do any or all or some of the following?

21, 75, and 136

Hiii!!!! Thank you for the prompt! this was my first time doing multiple so this was a lot of fun to think of.

After looking up the corresponding songs, I ended up only doing 21 and 75 because I felt like they worked so well together with the idea formulating in my head

Also, you didn't specify a lovesquare side, so I just ended up going with Adrinette, I hope that's okay!

Anyways, Song #21 was Stop and stare by One Republic and Song #75 was Obvious from the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack

So this prompt ended up being a partial identity reveal, and yeah, hope you enjoy!

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

Something Pulls My Focus Out, and I'm Standing Down

Adrien had often marveled at how the simplest, most discrete, most rapid of moments, could have the power to change everything. 

Like, how a split-second decision to stop and tie his shoe, so as not to risk him tripping while he ran off back to class after an akuma attack, led him to… here.

He hadn’t meant to stop here, and if he had known that she would have used the otherwise empty locker room to detransform, he never would have left the boy’s bathroom.

But of course, he hadn’t known. And so, here he was. 

Here he was staring, no. gaping, open-mouthed, his frozen legs feeling like jelly, while the girl he loved, the girl who’s name had captured the every beat of his heart, transformed into one of his nearest and dearest friends.

A friend who was likely afraid of him.

Wincing internally at the slight hitch to his plans of future weddings and children and hamsters, Adrien instead chose to focus on the flood of information that was rapidly filling his brain.

Memories of spending time with Ladybug, as both himself and his masked counterpart, memories of getting to know Marinette as Adrien and of hanging out with her as Chat Noir, all weaved together to form a tapestry of sorts. 

Her kindness towards their classmates melded together with the sensitivity she had for akuma victims. Her bravery as a hero facing the unknown mixed together with her courage at standing up for others. Her creativity in crafting and sewing projects formed together with her resourcefulness amidst battle scenes. All of her traits and quirks and isms morphed themselves into one girl, a girl who was clever and beautiful and good and full of everything that made the world good and pleasant. 

When he thought of it, Marinette being Ladybug was the most obvious thing in the world. 

Adrien felt himself falling even deeper in love with her.

He watched as she fed her kwami and a dull voice echoing in his mind signaled that it would be wise for him to move, but he could not. He was rooted to the spot.

Stuck in place as he was, when Marinette eventually did look up, her gaze lined up exactly with his. 

Her eyes widened to a degree that looked painful and her mouth opened and closed, her voice apparently at a loss for words. 

“Umm Ahhh… A–Adrien?!” She asked in a flustered tone. “What are you doing here? H-how long have you been standing there?”

Adrien licked his lips and cleared his throat, which had become painfully dry. 

“Umm… A-a while. Long enough.”

“Sooo… you saw…”

Adrien gave a sharp nod of his head in response. 

Immediately the shock gripping the countenance and figure of Marinette turned into a tumultuous cocktail of fear, uncertainty, humiliation, and defeat. 

She curled in on herself and balled her fists up anxiously, the look in her eye was something fearing the worst, and she gnawed on her bottom lip helplessly.

The sharp pain at watching her in distress, became too much for him and was the impetus to finally get him out of his stupor.

Finding walking too tedious at a time like this, he all but ran across the room to where Marinette stood, ready and keen to console her. 

“Marinette,” He said, grabbing her shoulders and waiting until she met his eyes. “It’s going to be okay.”

“But…but how do you know that?” She asked, her voice breaking.

“Because I know you. You always know just what to do and what to say, with you I just know that it’s all going to work out. And also…I’m here for you, you won’t have to go through this alone. If you don’t want to of course.” He added the last part bashfully.

Adrien saw the minutest lessening of fear in her eyes and felt the smallest decrease in the tension in her arms, but it was progress, so he couldn’t complain.

Still, Marinette’s face looked pensive. Curious at the expression, he inquired further.

“What is it?”

Marinette seemed to hesitate before answering, then reluctantly gave into whatever was bothering her, for she started to speak. 

“You-you’re not disappointed?”

“Disappointed? What do you mean?”

“I don’t know, I just figured that finding out that Ladybug is just some normal girl that you know, must be kind of disappointing. It must ruin some of the mystique or something.”

At this Adrien chuckled.

“Firstly Marinette, you are anything but ‘some normal girl’,” He watched her smile at this. “You are one of the most incredible people I have ever met. Honestly, of all the people I know, it’s you who is ‘our everyday ladybug’” He said, giving her a playful nudge. She looked down as her cheeks bloomed into a pretty flush.

“Honestly, the similarities between you and Ladybug are so glaringly obvious, it’s a wonder I didn’t figure it out earlier. But to answer your earlier question, no. I am not disappointed, in fact the admiration and lo– um and respect that I had for both Ladybug and Marinette has grown exponentially since finding out you were one and the same.”

He took her hands in his, and her gaze locked to his, the heady blue of her eyes swirled with an emotion unknown to him, but still managed to knot his stomach up with butterflies. 

“It is an honor to get to know your secret.”

Marinette bit her lip once more, but this time there was shyness to the action. Adrien couldn’t help but marvel at how pretty she looked with her pink-dusted cheeks and bright eyes.

Wanting to draw her into talking, her voice honey to his hungry ears, he became the first to break their silence.

“What are you thinking about now?”

“I’m just kind of worried about what Chat Noir will say. I know he really wanted to find out my identity first.”

Adrien couldn’t stop the gleeful smile from spreading across his face. “Oh, do I have something to tell you.”

Summary: Adrien, Gabriel and Nathalie are all on a flight and whilst trying to relax, Adrien is interrupted by his father who asks him to do him a favor. Adrien is confused at first as to why his father can't attend to this issue himself until he sees the culprit of his father's attention. In other words, Adrien witnesses some fluffy gabenath and interally makes fun of Gabriel and Nathalie for both being blind to one another's feelings.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Adrien,” came a soft, yet rigorous voice. 

Adrien looked up from the book in his hands, the early morning sunlight cascading down his face through the reflection of the plane window. 

“Father?” Adrien questioned, his eyes meeting the man who sat in the aisle seat across from him. 

“Do me a favor, will you Adrien?” 

Adrien frowned, closing his book, “What is it that you need, Father?” 

“Would you mind fetching me a coffee?”

Adrien frowned again, confused.

“Why–”

“Shh!” his father hushed him sharply, placing a finger to his lips, his eyes darting cautiously to the side.

That is when Adrien noticed the small form sitting to his father’s right — Nathalie. 

Nathalie, who seemed to be in a deep slumber, her head rested firmly against his father’s shoulder, her auburn hair covering her face, which was obscured in his chest. 

“Oh…” Adrien murmured, a small smirk playing on the corners of his lips.

“Of course, Father.”

Adrien stood up from his seat on the hunt for caffeine, though his eyes couldn’t help but wander as he watched his father place an arm soothingly around Nathalie as she drifted off.

He chuckled to himself, for sometimes it seemed as if the two could never see what was lying right in front of them.

Ok, request time! Miraculous Ladybug with Marc x Nathaniel. Slightly angsty Drabble that’s mostly fluff; Marc freaks out because on one of his date nights, that’s when he’ll turn into his weregoat form (humanoid and non-feral). Nath catches him (painfully) transforming anyways and thinks he looks adorable.

From The Horns To The Hooves

requests open!! | masterlist | rules for requesting

No, not now!

This was the absolute worst thing that could've happened to Marc today. Not the fact that his hair looked a little too shaggy for his liking, not that his outfit wasn't perfect for the movie date he had with Nath, but the fact that he was starting to transform!

"God, no! Not today!" He muttered as he sat down on his bed, bending over in pain.

How would he even excuse himself? He couldn't just bail on his boyfriend without any reason. And he definitely couldn't say "Hey, Nath, I'm transforming into half a goat and it hurts beyond your imagination so I can't watch The Ninja Turtles movie today"!

As many different excuses went through his head, his tranformation progressed quickly. Marc winced and writhed in pain, trying his best to ignore the pulcing headache the rapidly growing horns gave him.

His feet also hurt way more than he knew was possible, so he took off his sneakers to avoid them being ripped open by his hooves (again).

"Marc, honey, Nath's here to pick you up. Are you ready?"

Nononononono-

"Uhh, mom, I'm feeling sick, maybe it's best if he didn't come in.."

The silence after was deafening. Marc took that as a good thing, since he was relieved that his boyfriend won't see him in his were-goat form.

Suddenly, just as his transformation reached it's peak, someone opened the door.

"Marc, are you okay? Your mom told me you were feeling sick-"

Nathaniel's mouth swung open when he saw in what state his boyfriend was. The ravenette shied away, feeling a bit too exposed and seen for his liking. Even though Nathaniel was his safe person, someone he'd never feel too shy or embarassed about, he was still ashamed that he had to see him like this.

"S-sorry, Nath, I-I.."

Nathaniel's eyes quickly trailed over his boyfriend's fluffy, goat body in shock. He noticed the way Marc was shivering and basically writhing in pain. He took a couple of steps to him, petting his hair gently.

"You look.."

Gross? Disgusting? Monstruous? Horrible? Freakish?

"Adorable"

Marc was left in shock, a slight pink tint rising in his cheeks.

"But-t Nath..?"

"It hurts, doesn't it?"

All Marc could do was nod and humm in pain.

"Mhmm.."

"Wanna stay here..? We could draw, or watch anime or something?" Nath suggested with a smile.

"Sure.."

They hugged, and the ginger felt the sides of his boyfriend's horns nudging him.

"Can I touch them?"

Another nod. Nathaniels gentle fingers went all over the sharp horns while he sweetly kissed Marc's cheek.

"Marc, I.. I love you, all of you, from the horns to the hooves, yeah?"

The goat-boy smiled sweetly, cuddling against his boyfriend as they pulled up some anime to watch.

He knew. Nathaniel loved him just as he was. Horns and hooves and all.

that's all for this one!! thank you for reading, and thanks for the request! follow for more! <3
