Beneath His Mask

by Rebellious Chat Noir

Who could have thought Chat Noir, hero of Paris, was absolutely broken beneath his mask? Who could have thought Adrien Agreste was destroying himself yet still smiling and forcing that he was alright? Who could have thought the hero of Paris was in dire need of a rescue, but not by the hands of a villian, but by the clutches of himself?

1. Author's Note

Hey everyone! What's up? Its Mione.

Haven't heard from me lately have you? Well I am excited to say I am back.

If you came across this story it's probably because you and i have a common interest.

Welcome to my story for the amazing show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir.

Okay so to save me time, I'm just going to do this now.

Trigger Warning: Story contains scenes and mentions of Self Harm, Depression, and Child Abuse. Later on in the story there is also mention of and acts (well an act) of suicide attempts. If any of these subjects make you uneasy, please stop reading.

If you are still here, yay!

The main reason I wrote this story is for a writing program I am taking this summer. We were supposed to write a story or make a script using a popular show, movie, singer/band, etc. and writing with a theme commonly untouched in literature that occurs in real life. I can tell you 99.9% of my class chose to write about depression, self harm, eating disorders, etc. (In fact one of my best friends wrote a fanfiction for a lovely youtube group called SkitsoFanActs using the theme of an eating disorder). Another friend of mine wanted me to upload mine to this account.

Anyway I would absolutely love to hear all of your opinions on this story. Constructive criticism is acceptable but unnecessary hate will not be tolerated. I have already described what this story will contain. It was your choice to keep reading. So don't hate on it.

I think thats it so, I guess i'll conclude this author's note.
