Hello there readers, thank you for deciding to check out my fan fiction and not the thousands of others across this site! I have to admit it's been a long time since I've written anything on here and it's a pleasure to be back. Especially when I'm doing a story on this wonderful show.
Now as some of you may be wondering what this story is about I'm going to give it to you straight. This story takes place after season 1 and will pretty much have nothing to do with any season after. I wanted to take the current continuity and really run the ball with it, make it something new and enjoyable for you guys to read. After all I have to hold you guys over until the next season comes out right? So please enjoy the reading below and I'll see you guys at the bottom of the page!
Marinette looked at Adrien's bright beautiful green eyes and let out a gentle sigh. "You don't know how long I've been waiting for this…" she said with a smile.
A beautiful melody flowed out of a nearby violin while the band started to play their slow dance symphony.
Adrien guided her through the dance floor and smiled softly at her, his whole body was covered in a white tuxedo; Marinette stayed close to him, enjoying the warmth, she was wearing a shining scarlet silk dress. Both of their outfits looked very expensive.
Adrien guided Marinette over the dance floor of the Eiffel tower, the moon touched them with her soft light; to Marinette, it seemed like the most romantic moment in her life. The music, the background, the place… ahh… Adrien.
She looked up at Adrien once she felt his fingertip at her chin. "I'm sorry for not noticing earlier mon amour." He said while caressing her cheek gently. He tugged her close to his chest, his oh so toned chest… "Let me make it up for you." He whispered with a soft smile. He spun her around and brought her close to him once the moonlight was directly over them. Marinette turned around and their eyes locked together as if they were magnets.
Marinette's heart thumped loudly against her chest, and it was all because of the sentiments she was feeling. "Oh Adrien," she sighed. "You don't have to do anything for me. I would already do anything for you." She whispered back as she lovingly caressed his cheek.
"Marinette…" Adrien whispered her name into the silent night and moved closer to her. His lips parted slightly and his eyelids began to drop.
"Adrien..." Marinette sighed and parted her own lips as well, her eyes were half closed by now, but then she said, "Kiss me." The music began to dull just as Marinette closed her eyes.
Adrien's lips captured hers in a kiss and Marinette couldn't be happier, she was kissing the love of her life. He was so sweet, so tender and so… firm. Actually, a little too firm. Wait! Why does his lips taste like wood?! Was it something from dinner or—
"Marinette!" called a female voice from her side. "Hey, girl you need to get moving before somebody notices." Her voiced sounded hushed, that could only mean… no! This can't be another one!
She barely opened her eyes and a groaned escaped her lips as she tried to sit properly. She wasn't high up the Eiffel Tower kissing and cuddling with Adrien, she was in history class. She looked down at her desk and saw all of the drool she left on it. She let out a little shriek and bolted upwards from her desk and knocked her History textbook off the desk. It fell to the floor and Marinette quickly grabbed it. Oh man, hopefully nobody saw me making out with my desk. Dreams with Adrien were getting very vivid these days.
She wiped her and looked up to see Alya's face, from the looks of it, she was trying to hold back her laughter.
Marinette pouted slightly. "Please tell me no one saw that." She held the book over her head in embarrassment.
Living a life of a superhero wasn't easy, fighting Akumas, late night crimes and study sessions really knew how to tire a normal teenage girl. Falling asleep in class is a great example of the effects of a superhero life.
Marinette sighed in relief when she saw Alya shake her head. "Don't worry!" she said with a smirk. "I got that covered. I placed a textbook in front of that waterfall you call mouth so no one at the front could notice, but it seems the ones at the back didn't notice a thing." Alya leaned in and grinned. "Or maybe it's because you're always drooling over Adrien, they probably thought it was normal."
The bell rang twice and the class began to stand up and leave.
Marinette felt herself flush and bit her lip. She watched as the last of her classmates walked out of the classroom door and stood up slowly. Did she really sleep through the last fifteen minutes of class? She looked at Alya with a nervous smile. "Um… do you… eh… have any notes I could borrow?"
"A journalist always makes notes Marinette." Alya said, she held out a pink binder which was grabbed by Marinette as fast as lightning, it would've left a puff of smoke. "You're welcome." Alya said with a roll of her eyes.
"You're the best friend a girl could ask for Alya!" Marinette exclaimed while pushing the binder into her school bag, she looked down at the drool on her desk and quickly wiped it off with her sleeve. Gross, but she couldn't just leave something like that for another poor student to see.
As they walked out if the classroom, their teacher sent a scathing glare at Marinette while she gave her an apologetic look, sort of.
"Hey." Alya said as she tried to gain her friend's attention. "You're coming to the Zoo after school, right?" she asked as she pushed her glasses up her nose a little. Marinette blinked twice and look at her blogger of a friend with a confused look.
"When did we agree to go to the Zoo?" Marinette asked confused. "I thought being locked in a cage all day would've left a bad vibe in you." She said recalling the battle with Animan.
"That was before Ladybug and Cat Noir silly." Alya said before punching Marinette's arm lightly. "Also, that's where Nino and I first started dating, so I can't much of a grudge against that place."
Wincing, Marinette tugged her arm back and rubbed it softly. Bruises and cuts were part of the superhero deal but they usually healed after the Akuma attacks. Even though Tikki had told her that the suit was magical and protected her fully, bad cuts and bruises would still adorn her skin. Guess magic has its limits too.
"Jeez, did I hit you too hard?" Alya asked as she rubbed her friend's arm as well with worry. "Sorry. I haven't had the change to do much outside with all of my blogging issues, so all the pent up energy must've come out." She explained, though there was a concern tone to her voice by now.
"No problem Alya. I just fell out of bed this morning and hit my arm." Marinette said with a giggle as her overprotective friend went into Mom Alya mode. "So, what's up with the Zoo again?"
"Well first off, they have this wicked new chameleon exhibit that's supposed to be amazing." Alya said as she counted with her fingers. "It's a nice day to walk around with this great weather…"
Marinette raised an eyebrow. "The real reason please, Alya." She said with a smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
Alya sighed and readjusted her glasses. "Well, if you have to pry, Nino and I are going there for our one month anniversary celebration. It seemed like the ideal place to go since there's nothing really playing at the movies and restaurants are pretty expensive."
"Oh…" Marinette said as her eyes widened a little. "So you want me to tag along so nothing goes wrong I assume?" she fiddled with her hair nervously. "Look, I don't really know if I have time… my schedule is a little busy…" and the amount of sleep she need was starting to have a toll on her, were the bags underneath her eyes starting to show now? Well, probably. Of course they are!
Alya smirked and leaned over. "Too bad." She said with a shrug of her shoulders. "We were hoping that you could distract Adrien for a while. Oh well, might as well ask someone else to do it." She said.
Marinette stopped dead in her tracks and started at Alya. Distract Adrien for an entire afternoon? Yeah that actually sounds— No! Concentrate Marinette, you need rest and—
Alya sighed dramatically and pretended to faint."He's nearly tied to Nino at the hip most of the time and I thought he could use some company while we go off on our own. It'll be a shame to see a kid like that sitting all alone… by himself… with those sad eyes of his… bored… alone…"
Marinette's eye twitched as her turmoil of a mind started to regret her decision. Don't give in to this… perfect opportunity Marinette. Just keep on walking until you hit the bedroom floor and fall into sleep mode... just… r-resist…
Walking in front of her Alya smiled innocently. "It's a darn shame… it might have even turned into a double date." There was this evil gleam in Alya's eyes that made Marinette realized her friend had planned this for about some time now. Since when did her friend become this crafty?
But all of that went to the wayside as Marinette held Alya's shoulders and shook in excitement. "D-Double date?! You think Nino would put in a good word for me?" she asked. "Oh my gosh! What am I wearing? What time are we meeting up there?! Should I show up early or late?!" however, her excitement soon turned into horror. "What if I need your help?!" she asked, the horror clear in her voice.
"Marinette—"Alya started but was quickly cut off by Marinette panicking. "Gosh, you're head over heels about him." She said with a smirk and patted her friend on the back. "Fear not, your best friend is here to save your love life. I'll make sure that you're all set up to go one on one with Adrien before I leave you two alone."
Hawkmoth stared at the glass window with not a word; he could feel the emotional spectrum outside, and it was getting strong.
His Akuma gently floated around, not paying him any mind. They knew that Hawkmoth was getting tired of his games, sending villain after villain out to defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir was just not working at all. He walked back and forth inside the dark room, his hand gently caressing his chin. "Mere children are beating you, Hawkmoth." He said to himself. "Mere children! They should be under your feet pleading for mercy! Their Miraculous should've been yours ages ago! "his voice was much more louder now, his brows furrowed, his fists clenched.
All that rage of course had been building up since the tome had gone missing. How could he have been so foolish as to let them take it away? Hawkmoth had let his pride in security and safety blind him from the real danger of the situation. If his enemies knew where he was hiding they might also know how where to hurt him the most. Ladybug and Cat Noir needed to be stopped and that book back in his hands.
The soft flutter of wings made his head turn slight around to see and Akuma land softly on his shoulder. The little white butterfly seemed to nudge his face affectionately.
He smirked and held out a hand to let the butterfly flutter out onto his palm. "Hmm, a dark emotion ready to be fed I see. I wonder who it'll be this time." Quite was his surprise when another Akuma fluttered its wings for attention. "Double the trouble for Ladybug and Chat Noir?" he said with his cynical tone of voice.
He grinned.
"Perfect…"
It was a perfect day for a walk at the Zoo, just like Alya said.
Two boys walked side by side, they seemed like teenagers, their hair was blonde and stuck up for no reason, they wore the same grey jacket and even the same jeans.
Their names where Ivan and Thomas, twins that had come by for different reasons.
It was sunny, no clouds in the sky and there was a faint smell of popcorn in the air.
"Seriously, just try not to get too close this time Thomas said pushing his brother before sitting down at a bench in front of the elephant exhibit. "Mom will kill me if you try to sneak into the panther exhibit… again."
Ivan had come by to try to sneak into the panther exhibit because rumor had it that Chat Noir had his secret lair hidden in there. In his first attempt, the feline had almost gobbled him up whole, but thankfully, his brother had alerted the security and got Ivan to safety. Their mother was furious, and needless to say… he was ground. For two weeks.
"Don't worry; I know Cat Noir's secret lair isn't really there." Ivan replied as he pushed his brother back playfully. "It's totally in the tier cages. I obviously wasn't thinking high enough in the food chain."
"Ivan." Said Thomas with a warning look. "I mean it. Do not do that this time because… oh my God." He stopped short and looked ahead past his brother.
Ivan looked at him confused and followed his brother's gaze. He rolled his eyes, groaned and his shoulders slumped. "Ugh… you got to be kidding me. Please don't tell me you're looking at her again Thomas." He said with a repulsed look.
Just a few meters away, the beautiful Angela was near an animal exhibit, her curly red hair flowed with the wind, that new purple jacket surely complemented those extraordinary blue eyes. She was standing in front of the local bird cages, inspecting them with a careful eye.
"Thomas? Buddy, I think you're drooling." Ivan said as he used his hand to push his brother's dropped jaw back in place.
Thomas snapped out of his trance and looked at Ivan. "How does my hair look bro?" he asked, a blush adorned his cheeks.
"Terrible like it always does. Don't do this." Ivan said, he panicked for a mid second. "You're not in her league dude and neither am I. We look the same! "he raised his arms in alarm.
"We were partners in chemistry class and I felt something Ivan!" said Thomas with a smile. He pushed himself off the wall. "You were there and you totally saw it!"
Ivan went to stand in front of his brother. "Listen, just think about this, I'm the reckless one, let's just try and keep the standard stupid stunts to me only. What are you even going to tell her?"
"Will you go out on a date with me?" that always seems to work in the movies." Thomas said as a smile adorned his face, he tried to move around his brother to get to Angela, when he actually managed to get passed his brother, the closer he got to Angela, the less confidence he had. Sweat started to slid down the sides of his face and his throat started to dry up. Maybe this wasn't a very good idea after all.
Wasn't he supposed to get or flowers and chocolates or something?
Thomas was knocked out of his thoughts as he collided right into Angela; he knocked her onto the hard ground.
"Argh! Watch where you're going you jerk!" exclaimed Angela before shooting Thomas an angry glare.
Thomas, with wide eyes, offered his hand quickly to her. "I'm so sorry, let me help you up!" his voice sound like those high pitched mice voices in movies who were about to get eaten.
Once Angela got a good look at Thomas, all the anger on her face disappeared in a second. She smiled and took his hand. "No worries, I must have been so interested in the birds that I didn't see you there." Standing upright, she played with her hair for a while.
"Oh… uh… no totally my fault actually." Thomas said looking backwards to Ivan (who was giving him the signal to get out of there). "Hey… um… I was wondering if—"
"You wanted to go out tonight?" Angela asked brightly as she started at him with her blue eyes.
Thomas felt his heart leap out his chest and into his throat. Did she really just say that? This couldn't be a dream, right? "U-Uh…" oh God, his brain was completely frozen, say something you idiot! "How did you know?"
"C'mon Ivan! Get your head out of the clouds." Angela patted him on the shoulder. "We've been dating for a while, I think I'd know. Do you want to head over to the usual place or—"
"What did you call me?!" Thomas asked horrified, his heart had stopped for a second and he started at Angela.
She snickered and rolled her eyes, "Ivan, you know, your name dummy! Seriously, is you're playing dumb just to get me saying it I swear… hey, are you okay?"She asked concerned.
Thomas felt his eyes begin to sting and his cheeks turned red from embarrassment: it was all clear now. He stepped backwards and his vision started to blur and turn. Ivan? He looked at his brother in disbelief, he wanted to believe this was all a nightmare but he knew that it wasn't, he could see it in his brother's eyes.
Ivan's look of shame hung on his usual smug face. What had he done?
"Did I say something wrong?" Angela asked and reached out to touch Thomas' shoulder.
He quickly backed away from her and locked eyes with Ivan and for the first time in a long time… he was furious with him. How dare he?!
Adrien walked into the Zoo's gate with his best buddy, Nino, who was giving him the game plan. He had been very hyper about his big date with Alya, all day long. As the good friend he was, Adrien decided to tag along. After all, he was Nino's wingman and helping him out was his responsibility.
"Got the plan dude? Alya brings Marinette along with her as her wing-girl and you tag along for the while me and Alya go on a romantic adventure throughout the jungle." Nino patted him on the shoulder with a wink.
The blond smirked. "Of course, but I don't really know how I'm supposed to help you out while I'm keeping Marinette away from you guys." He said hesitant. "You sure you'll be alright alone with her?" he asked, take his concern for granted. Before Alya and Nino had become a whole, Nino was terrible at speaking to girls. "Got all your pick up lines ready?" he teased.
"Shut up man, you know they all rock." Nino said as he ruffled up Adrien's hair.
"Oh really? Is that why you were practicing them in the boy's washroom?" Adrien asked with a cheshire like grin. "Oh you must be Lady Wi-Fi because all my signals are pointing to you~" he mimicked his voice to sound more like Nino's low and rough voice.
Nino nudged Adrien playfully. "Shut up dude! That one's gold!" he said, although his face seemed to have a regretful look to it. "Though… I may want to shop that one of the list. Alya hasn't got used to people calling her like that. I might as well stick to the classics." he cleared his throat and opened his eyes whit a smile. "Here's an update on our top story, Alya and Nino together for a whole month! Any comments?" he held up an imaginary microphone towards Adrien.
The boy was about to comment on his horrible pick up lines when he saw the sight of curly brown and red hair. "Girlfriend dead ahead Nino, I can't see Marinette though—Oh wait! There she is." He said pointed over to Alya.
Marinette's frame was tucked gently behind her friend as they walked in a strange line towards them. It was strange how Adrien always saw her in a perpetual state of shyness. He saw her head poke out from behind Alya, when she caught his eye, she quickly hid back again.
"Alya! Looking as beautiful as ever." Nino said rushing over to her and pecked her cheek. He adjusted his glasses a little and smiled. "Did you show up early for me?" he asked with a grin.
"No, I heard the ice cream vendors were back up and running. I had to grab some before you put them out of business." Alya said smugly and adjusted her own glasses. She looked over at Adrien, smiled and tugged Marinette out from behind her. "Adrien, nice to see you here."
"Nice to see you too, Alya." Adrien said smiling, he looked over to Marinette. "Nice to see you too Marinette."
Marinette nodded quickly and smiled at him. "Oh yeah, great day, nice weather, perfect hair— not that my hair looks good or anything I just— never mind, I'm just rambling." She scratched the back of her neck in embarrassment, she looked over at Alya, her face was full of desperation.
Alya nodded and looked over at Adrien. "Why don't you guys go and hit up the lion exhibit? It's right next to the food court if you need anything." It might have been Adrien's imagination, but he swore he saw Alya wink at Marinette.
Food. When Alya spoke the word, Adrien could feel a small tug from inside his jacket. Probably Plagg, that empty pit stomach of a kwami always wanted to eat. He was napping just a few seconds ago! If only he had fed that little cat cheese before leaving school, he was going to blow his cover if he kept on acting like this!
Thinking quickly, Adrien walked over to Marinette and grasped her hand. "Sounds like a great idea to me! You two get going and well catch up later!" he led Marinette away and she yelped in panic before she followed Adrien's lead.
Perhaps it was just his imagination, but he could he could have sworn a grin flashed onto both their faces as they ran off.
