Hello, this is a Miraculous Ladybug FanFiction but will about Chloe and Nathaniel. Also before anyone is all 'you just ship Chloe with Nathaniel just for the sake of shipping her with a guy.' That is not true, I ship ChloNath because of the whole opposites thing this show has going. Think about it, Adrien has the whole well mannered, respected, in the spot light thing going, while Chat Noir has the says whatever is on his mind and let's Ladybug take the spot light thing. Marinette on the other hand is the clumsy and usually can't think rationally about anything, Ladybug is well balanced and a problem solver. Also there's the yig-yag thing with the power of creation and power of destruction, also the fact Adrien has the power of destruction and bad luck and has light blonde hair with a white jacket and Marinette, power of creation and good luck wears a blackish/brown jacket and has dark hair.
Ok I went a bit of topic but I just needed to show you that this show really goes have the opposites thing, now for the Chloe and Nathaniel opposites point proving, now Chloe blonde hair and Nathaniel red hair. In today's society I've noticed that in most cases blondes are "praised" for their hair colour especially if it's natural (although I've had my doubts about Chloe being a natural blonde, because if you look closely her eyebrow colour is much closer to brown then blonde but anyway.) Unlike red heads, who are, from what I've seen, usually made fun of because of their hair colour.
Nathaniel is the shy artist boy, who creates things instead of buying them. Chloe is the obnoxious rich girl who buys thing instead of creating them. I AM JUST SAYING!
Ok rant over, probably won't have to do anymore of those for awhile. On with the story.
Chapter 1
School Project.
Miss Bustier walked in the class room a little late for the last class of the day, she had forgoten the piece of paper that and the pairs for the next project.
"Sorry class, I had forgotten something. Now for the next few lessons and for your homework, you must do a poster about the effect you think Ladybug and Chat Noir has had on the city of Paris, you need to work in pairs, that I have chosen." The teacher hears some of the class groan at the last part, but chosses to ignore it.
"Ok, so the pairs for this VERY important project are;
Ayla and Nino.
Ivan and Myelne.
Kim and Max.
Juleka and Rose.
Sarbrina and Alix, ummm who's left, oh right, Marinette and Ch- nope that will end badly, Marinette and Adrien. Ok everyone go to your pairs, Chloe come down here." Miss Bustier finished her sentence hearing not to may complaints.
"Miss, why does Marinette get to be paired with Adrien? Why can't I be?" Chloe said grumpily.
"We both know what happened the last time I paired you with Adiren." Miss Bustier sighed, while Chloe rolled her eyes."
"Come on, it wasn't even that big of a explosi.." Chloe was cut off by Miss Bustier.
"No Chloe, maybe if you earn my trust back... I was going to pair you with Lila but she's gone back on a last minute vacation to Italy, so I gues..." This time Miss Bustier was cut off.
"Excuse me mu..Miss but you didn't give me a pair?" The quiet red head said, looking up to the teacher.
"Right, I'm sorry Nathaniel, you were... umm sick, I think, the day I was writing out the pairs."Miss Bustier stopped as she looked at Chloe, who was now on her phone. She sighed before saying...
"Look, I know it's not ideal, but this is a important grade, so I'm sorry but Nathaniel I'm pairing you with Chloe." She watched as Nathaniel's face turn to disgust and Chloe almost drop her phone.
"Your kidding right?" Nathaniel asked, almost glaring at Miss Bustier.
"Yeah, you have to be kidding." Chloe chimed in.
"Unfortunately, no, I'm not, however I know about your...friendship issues and you will get extra points if you do this without complaint."
One argument later...
"Fine, I'll be Chloe's damn partner, only if she ACTUALITY puts in effort and doesn't make me go over to her house, were she will just brag about how expensive everything is."
"FINE!" Chloe huffed, as the bell went, signaling the end of the school day.
Everyone had had poured out of the class room and gathered around the steps out front of the school. Nathaniel waited at the teachers parking lot like he usually did, but on this day a blonde had walked up to him.
"Oi, are we gonna go study or not?" Chloe rudely asked.
"Gezz, no need to be rude, we will but I need to go home and get something first." Nathaniel said, taking out his phone.
"What could be so important that you have to make me wait?" Chloe again rudely asked.
"You know what, I'm just gonna walk home." Nathaniel said, texting his mum, to let her know.
"Excuse me, but you don't get to walk away from me like that... Hey! Stop!" Chloe yelled. Running, surprisingly, after Nathaniel.
"How far away do you live? It feels like we've been walking forever." Chloe complained. While scrolling through instagram.
"Well you didn't have to follow me." Nathaniel rolling his eyes.
"I couldn't let you get away with walking away from me like that."
"All well, doesn't matter now, we're here." Nathaniel said, opening a large gate. Chloe looked up from her phone, only to see a large modern house. It had a beautiful garden, a second story and even a front door that looked like it had a form of electronic security.
"Nice one, but seriously how much further?" Chloe said, unconvinced that Nathaniel was telling the truth.
"This is my house Chloe, I know you presumed I lived in a ditch but I don't." Nathaniel huffed as he turned the key opening the front door. While Chloe ran to catch up, she had her mouth slightly open at the fact he wasn't lying.
"Who lives here with you?" Chloe asked, as she and Nathaniel walked through the living room, that she hated to admit, was pretty nice.
"With my mum and two sisters."
"You have sisters?" Chloe asked surprised by the new information.
"He sure does." A female voice room the other side of the room. Both teens turned around to see a 17 year old, with really long light brown hair enter the room.
"You're already home?" Nathaniel questioned.
"Yup and mum's gone to pick up Carol from pre-school, should be home soon, but who's this?"
"I'm Chloe, I'm in Nathaniel's class." Chloe answered.
"Chloe? That sounds familiar...Wait isn't this one you called a bi*ch?"
"Ugghh...thanks Jena, you just made my situation a hundred times worse, she'll be complaining about that for the next month." Nathaniel sighed.
"Hello? I'm right here." Chloe said angrily.
"If you dont like her, why is she here?" Jena asked.
"We got paired together for a project and when I said I needed to go home before studying, she decided to follow me."
"Damn, mum can be cruel." Jena said, laughing. Chloe looked up at Jena confused.
"I know I can." A woman said laughing. Chloe looked up at the woman holding a small brunette girl, she stepped into the natural light of the living room, only to reveal, Miss Bustier.
"MISS BUSTIER!" Chloe yelled.
"It's just Caline here, Chloe."
"Hold up, hold up, hold up, so you are telling me that in the span of 2 hours, I've been pair with Nathaniel, found out he doesn't actually live in a ditch, Nathaniel has two sisters and the teacher I see EVERYDAY is his MOTHER!" Chloe was close to fainting at this point.
"Pretty much." Both the red heads in the room say.
"I think I need to sit down." Chloe said, holding her head in pain.
"Well you already know where I live and after the walk home I'm tired, so we'll just study in my room, if that ok with you?" Nathaniel suggested.
"Yes, yes, let's just go before I faint." Chloe said, following Nathaniel.
Chloe follows Nathaniel up stairs, he walks to the end of the hallway before opening a brown door. Chloe watches Nathaniel enter and follows behind, her eyes register the room. It had a huge window letting in a lot of natural light, the room had a theme of red, purple and black and an arch way lead to a very small walk in wardrobe. You would think Chloe would be taken back by the bulky wooden furniture, covered in paint splatteres and the smell of pencil shavings but no, Chloe was to mesmerised by the walls to notice anything. She looked around the room, wide eyed, she couldn't find a single spot where there wasn't a drawing or painting, she could barely tell what colour the walls had originally been, there was pictures of everything she could imagine, but even with all the artwork, one wall caught her eye more than the others. It was one of the biggest walls in the room, that didn't have a window, she recognised a lot of people on the wall, heaps of pictures on white paper of her classmates, what she now new were his sisters, himself, his mother, some people she didn't recognise, however she was curious in the middle of the cluttered drawings, painted directly on the wall was a man. He had lime green eyes, light brown hair that went down to his shoulders and a sly smile, showing a cheeky personality. By the time she finished admiring the walls or as she would say finished 'critiquing' the walls, she had a question.
"Hey Nathaniel, who's that? He looks like he's important to you." Chloe asked, sounding more curious about his life than she would've liked.
"Him? He's my dad." Nathaniel said, taking off his shoes and putting them back in the wardrobe.
"Where is he?"
"What do you mean?"
"Before. You said you live with your sisters and mum, but not your dad." Chloe said, even surprising herself that she remembered this information.
"Right, uhh... he dead." Nathaniel said with a little sadness in his voice.
"Oh...ummm how long has he been gone?" Chloe said, not realising this might be rude.
"Uhhh...probably a few years, it's happened the last year of elementary school, when I was still 'Mr Popular'." Nathaniel said trying to change the subject.
"Mr Popular? You were popular in elementary school?" Chloe said now even more confused.
"Yeah, I guess so, I was one of the richest kids there, I didn't have bangs covering my face and I was more confident."
"Then how did you become shy artist nerd?" Chloe's eyebrow raised, telling Nathaniel, even if she denied it, she was genuinely curious.
"Well, I was considered what you might called a brat. I didn't care really care about other people's feelings, other than mine and my closets friends. I guess I liked the attention, or thought I did, but I needed to keep up my 'reputation' so my hidden talent as an artist often stayed in the confines of my room. But when he uhh... passed that summer, I kinda fell into a state of 'depression' sort speak, I didn't care about much and the only way I could get my emotions out was through my art. My hair grew out and I didn't really talk to anyone. Boom the Nathaniel you see today." Nathaniel laughed, witch could only be presumed as a fake one. Chloe stared at Nathaniel, seeing him in a almost new light, she had always thought he just lacked confidence, she never wouldve dreamed there was a story behind it, in her thoughts she had stareing to long and Nathaniel noticed.
"Did you need something?" Nathaniel asked in a teasing but relaxed tone.
"Huh, what? Wait nope, lets getting going, I don't have all day, I'm a very important person." Chloe said rushing to get the notes out of her bag. While Nathaniel looked at her dumbfounded.
"Ok then." He said, getting the chair from his art station and putting next to his desk, ready for Chloe to sit on."Let's get going."
Sorry for the ramble at the start but I kinda wanted to point that out, this is obviously a CloNath or Nathclo FanFiction but if this does well I might write another story about what happened with Marinette and Adrien while the content of this story is happening, but that a maybe. So till next time.
