Hey there, this is another akumatised Mari fic. Why should you read this? Read to find out!

Today was going to be the day. That's right, you heard me. Marinette Dupain Cheng would finally, after all this time, confess her love to Adrien Agreste, the beautiful model she had been pining for for over a year now. She had asked him to meet her (through Alya of course) at the park after school, where she would pour out her heart and finally be with the love of her life. Or that was the plan, at least…

The very second the school bells tolled their long awaited ringing excitement, baby pink pumps darted like, well, darts through the classroom door, the school entrance, the pavement, road, pavement. Grass, soft and luscious under the quaking girl's feet. She was shivering in the gentle breeze like a delicate leaf in it's ripest green. He was coming.

His hair was a mist shrouding his model-grade face. Marinette took a deep breath. Here we go.

"Oh hey Marinette, Alya said you wanted to ask me something? As long as it's quick though, I have a shoot to get to pretty soon-"

"No, you don't! It got cancelled, remember?" She interrupted.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Wait, how did you know that? I never said anything about that shoot to anyone, let alone tell them it was cancelled. What are you, some kind of stalker?" He joked.

But she didn't find it very funny.

"I'm really sorry Adrien… I never meant to make you feel uncomfortable, it's just I… I errrr… I just wanted to tell you that… We've been friends for a while now, right? W-Well, it's kind of been ever since you gave me your umstellar. Er, wait! I mean inbrulla! No! I… YOU LIKE ME! I MEAN, I LIKE SOMEONE, NO, I… YOU… I'VELOVEDYOUTHISWHOLETIME! I, I liked you for the longest time and… PLEASE GO OUT WITH M-"

"I'm sorry, Marinette… I love someone else…"

"Oh… Ok. Can you tell me who?"

"Don't laugh, but I'm in love with Ladybug…"

He scratched the back of his head nervously.

Normally, the bluenette would that adorable, attractive, absolutely glowing. But not now. Not now that Ladybug had stolen something precious from her. And her nice girl act shattered like a glass baseball. Whoever she was before, the old Mari had just been gutted alive. Dead.

"Don't give me that…" She murmured, barely loud enough to hear. "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! WHEN HAVE YOU EVER SPOKEN TO LADYBUG, HUH? You don't even know who she is! You think she's so special, but she's actually really pathetic, behind the mask, she's just a miserable failure who can't do ANYTHING RIGHT! What do you know about her?! This whole time, I've been working hard to keep up appearances, to be cute, shy, and an adorable, perfect girlfriend! And what do I get?! Oooooh, I love Ladybug! WHAT ARE YOU, FIVE?! LADYBUG DOESN'T EXIST! SHE'S JUST A NORMAL GIRL WEARING A SUIT WITH MAGICAL BUFFS THAT MAKE HER SPECIAL! I thought much higher of you. Don't be so naive. It doesn't work like that…"

Before Adrien could leap in to defend his lady, Mari had turned on her heel, fuming.

'He didn't even try to defend his beloved Ladybug from my badmouthing… Pathetic.' She thought, a dark glint forming in her eyes. She reached up to her ears, and gently slid her Miraculous into her pocket. After all, those wearing a Miraculous are immune to akumas, and where's the fun in that?
