Hey there! Its IrishDreamer4!
Isn't Miraculous Ladybug the most amazing show?
I noticed there's a lack of Bridgette/Felix fics, so I'm writing my own!
Just a reminder, I may or may not include info from the current episodes.
Disclaimer: I do not own Miraculous Ladybug or its characters.
Paris.
The city of lights, fashion, cuisine, history, love...and happy family reunions.
"Aunt Sabine! Uncle Tom!"
A young woman hugged her small aunt and large uncle outside their bakery.
"Bridgette! It's so good to see you again!"
"We're so sorry we couldn't be there for your graduation."
"It's ok, I don't mind. China was a great place to study and uncle Wang is an excellent teacher. But I'm happier to be back at home. Now I can start working to open my own cafe! By the way, where's Marinette?"
Her beloved aunt and uncle immediately dropped their happy smiles.
"She's..." was all that aunt Sabine said.
Bridgette raised a brow. Her aunt and uncle were oddly ambivalent to say anything about Marinette.
"Is she ok? Where is she? Marinette!"
All in a rush, Bridgette brushed around her relatives and ran up the steps to her cousin's attic for a bedroom.
A very big, adorable red bug hovering over a hunched figure. It gasped upon seeing her.
"Bridgette!"
"Tikki?"
"B-B-Bridgette?"
The hunch figure moved, revealing a pink-faced girl who looked quite similar to Bridgette yet smaller, tears streaming down her face.
"Marinette!"
The older girl rushed forward, dropped to her knees and scooped up her cousin. Marinette curled herself into her chest, seeming so tiny. Like she was little again, crying over a scraped knee.
Only, it wasn't a scraped knee.
There was a long scar on her cousin's right arm, pulsing red on pink skin.
"What happened?" She demanded.
Tikki swooped in to explain. "There was an akuma, very powerful. She got hurt because she was a little...distracted."
"Distracted by what?"
Tikki's big blue eyes shifted. Bridgette turned and saw pictures across the wall.
Pictures of a young, handsome, golden-blond, green-eyed boy.
"Agreste..." she growled.
Tikki explained more. "She confessed to him earlier...but he turned her down. Then she overheard him saying he rejected her because...because..."
"He loves Ladybug!" Marinette burst out, almost giving her cousin and Kwami a heart attack. "Stupid, perfect, amazing Ladybug."
She cried in her cousin's chest, all of her pain transferred into wails. Her cousin wrapped her arms around her as her eyes furrowed.
That little...!
Bridgette gritted her teeth, a wolfish growl escaping from her throat.
Once again, an Agreste had broken the heart of a Cheng. And it was her little cousin.
Bridgette rose up from Marinette and stomped over to the decorated wall.
"B-Bridgette?" Marinette whimpered.
"You have to forget about him." was what Bridgette said right before she, quite cruelly, tore down each and every images of Adrien Agreste and then ripped them up, bits and pieces of the model flying onto the floor. "Agrestes are nothing but bad luck. You're better off without him."
Tikki gasped shrilly. Marinette only stared wordlessly. She was too hurt to say anything in her defence.
"If he wants the pinup dream, then he can have it!" Bridgette walked back over to her cousin, dropping to her knees. "The world can have stupid, perfect, amazing Ladybug but I have you all to myself." She stroked Marinette's face tenderly, wiping away her tears. "My wonderful, sweet, cute, real, little cousin. There's no better luck than that."
Marinette's lip quivered. More tears fell. Then she threw herself at her older cousin and hugged her tightly, cries buried in her shoulder. Bridgette wrapped her arms around her and held her. Tikki floated over and rested on top of Bridgette's head, and curled up in a ball as an attempt to join in the hug.
They stayed like that for a while, curled up in each other for comfort.
After all, they share this curse of good luck.
