Author's Notes:

-The title should be pretty self-explanatory, but for those of you who don't get it, here's what happens. This is an alternative scenario from the episode Dark Cupid where Cat Noir gets to confess his love for his masked sweetheart, Ladybug.

-The cover picture does not belong to me.

For those of you who have not seen Dark Cupid, avert your eyes now. For those that have seen it, let us begin this story.

It had been another chaotic day in the city of Paris. It was Valentine's Day in Paris, the city of love. Unfortunately, Kim had been akumatized into Dark Cupid, a heart-breaking, hate-spreading super-villain. Marinette had just seen her friend Alya turn against her thanks to Dark Cupid's arrow.

"Tikki, spots on!" Marinette exclaimed.

With the aid of Tikki, Marinette transformed into Ladybug. She then pursued the akumatized villain. Meanwhile, over at the Agreste Mansion, Adrien was thinking about Ladybug. He got up from his chair and stared out into the window.

"I don't need a poem when I can tell her to face; "I love you."" Adrien said.

Plagg reacted in disgust. "You're making me lose my appetite." He ate another piece of Camembert. "Well, almost."

"You know what, Plagg. I will tell her. Right now." Adrien declared. "Plagg, claws out!"

Plagg was sucked into the ring and transformed Adrien into Cat Noir. He climbed to the roof and used his staff as a tracking device to find Ladybug. Meanwhile, Dark Cupid looked at the city of Paris below him. He didn't see Ladybug. Hawkmoth spoke to him.

"If you want to continue destroying love, bring me Ladybug's Miraculous or I'll remove your powers!" Hawkmoth ordered.

He then flew around, looking for his target.

"Fallen for me already, my lady? I wanna talk to you." Cat Noir told her.

"It's gotta wait. Dark Cupid..." Ladybug started to say.

"Shh. I swore to myself I'd tell you as soon as I saw you." Cat Noir said. "Ladybug, I, I love you."

Ladybug wanted to gasp, but she felt breathless. "You...you do?"

"Yes, I do. You're everything to me. I adore you." Cat Noir answered. "I wrote you a poem, even though I don't think it's very good." He cleared his throat. "You hair is as dark as night, your pretty blue bell eyes. I wonder who are you beneath that strong disguise."

"You want to...?" Ladybug started to ask. She heard a swoosh in the air. "Cat Noir, look out!"

"Huh?!" Cat Noir exclaimed. He saw Dark Cupid heading right towards him. He jumped down from the ground and dodged his arrows. Ladybug swung down and landed on her feet.

"Finally, I found both of them." Dark Cupid said.

Spinning her yo-yo to act as a shield, she protected herself and Cat Noir while the latter retrieved his staff. He then used his staff and deflected his arrows as Ladybug tried to grab one of his ankles with her yoyo.

"Everyday we see each other and I hope that you'll be mine. Together our love could be so true, please will you be my valentine?" Cat Noir asked, finishing his poem.

Ladybug widened her eyes and gasped. She dropped her yoyo. "Cat... Cat Noir.. You..." she tried to say. But she was knocked down with one of Dark Cupid's arrows.

"Ladybug, no!" Cat Noir screamed. He ran towards her. Dark Cupid smirked. Ladybug's lips turned black. She chuckled in a sinister manner.

"You are a fool Cat Noir to think that I would ever like you." Ladybug said. "You're just a second rate hero. Without me, you're nothing!" Cat Noir gasped. "And by the way, I hate you and I don't need you!"

Cat Noir was nearly hit by one of Dark Cupid's arrows, but he quickly dodged. He started to run away to avoid being hit. Dark Cupid flew after him. Cat Noir broke his staff into two pieces, and flung one of them at Dark Cupid's face as if it was a boomerang. This temporarily stunned him, leaving Cat Noir time to get away. He eventually found an alley and hid behind a dumpster. He panted, breathing heavily, trying understand everything that just happened.

"This doesn't make sense..." Cat Noir muttered to himself. "How could Ladybug hate me? Even if she doesn't love me, she's always been my friend."

Wait a minute, he thought to himself. She was trying to warn me that we had to stop Dark Cupid! Dark Cupid is a hate-spreading akumatized villain. And now Ladybug's turned against me because of it! Oh, great. Now what?

He then recalled that love was being discussed in his English Literature class.

"The prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess." Mrs. Bustier said during class.

"Only love can conquer hate." Rose said.

He knew how to reverse the curse on Ladybug, although it was easier said than done. Ladybug could tie him up with his yoyo, or use a lucky charm item to kill him and/or steal his Miraculous. If they defeated him, it was over. Cat Noir had nothing but his Cataclysm superpower. How could he use that to his advantage? He didn't know what to do, but if he didn't do something, Hawkmoth would eventually win.
