Hey y'all this is my first EVER fanfic that is online, please read! Hope you like it :)

Also I'm debating whether or not I should write a second chapter, so please comment on what you think.

Disclaimer: I do not own miraculous ladybug I'm just a huge fan with a big passion for writing!

I didn't mean to see her transform. I was just looking out for my friend. I was confused as to why she rushed into the locker room rather than running home. So, I chased after her to make sure that she got to safety. That's when I poked my head through the door to see Marinette talking to a weird flying...thing. Then I heard the words.

"Tikki, spots on!" And with a blinding flash of light, there stood ladybug. She stood still for no more than a second when she swung her yoyo and flew out the window. I didn't know what to do. So I just stood there in shock. I didn't see the giant hand come to rap around me until it was too late.

•••••••••••••••••••••

Punching was useless. Kicking did nothing. My ribs were throbbing my arms were aching, I felt so defeated. It was then, that ladybug and cat noir showed up. The villain, a student who had been teased about being too tall was now a giant. He laughed at the heros.

"Give me you miraculous!" He began. "Or this one goes" I felt my heart stop, my breath caught in my throat. I gulped. This was serious.

"Nino" I heard ladybug murmur. It was weird that I knew she was Marinette, and that I was relying on my friend to save my life.

"Release him!" Cat noir yelled. I could sense the fear in his voice. The giant shrugged, causing me to have a nauseous feeling in my gut.

"Ok" his deep voice rumbled. His tight grip was suddenly gone, and I was falling, plummeting towards the concrete. I heard myself whimper before I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the impact.

It never came.

Instead I felt strong arms around me, clutching me I breathed an extremely shaky sigh of relief. I opened my eyes to see ladybug looking down at me cautiously. Her face was all too familiar.

"Are you Ok?" She asked, obviously concerned.

"I-I think so, just, traumatized." I shook my head as if it would make the emotions go away.

"I understand" she said, the caring Marinette seeping through the mask. "But you can always count on cat noir and I. Civilians are our first priority"

"What about you when you are a civilian?" I asked

"What do you mean?"

"When you are Marinette" she froze. She stared me down with a look I couldn't read.

"A little help here!" Cat noir yelled as he narrowly avoided another swing of the giants wrist.

"We are having a long talk when I'm done!" Ladybug warned. I nodded as she ran in to help cat noir. I scurried into a classroom but kept watching the battle through the window. It didn't seem to be going as well as the others. Cat noir was out of energy, ladybug was out of plans and the giant was stronger than any other Akuma they had faced. Cat noir called on his cataclysm, but momentarily let down his guard. The giant grabbed him and forced his hand against a stray chair, demolishing it instantly. He then brought the fighting hero up to his face. He easily pulled the ring off and as cat noir yelled and ladybug failed trying to reach him, the giant threw a detransforming cat noir towards the wall of the classroom I was in. Without thinking I ran out, knowing that I couldn't catch him, but at least soften the fall. I positioned myself in front of the wall arms spread wide, anticipating the hit. And as it came I dropped to the floor, his body leaning on mine like a safety mat. I let out a small groan, and without even looking at his identity, carried him into the classroom. This guys was light as a feather. I has no time to think about that he was hurt and that was my first priority. I knew I wasn't supposed to see his identity, but it was the only thing I could do. I looked him dead in the eye and gasped loudly.

"Dude!" I exclaimed. "Dude, you're, you're - " he groaned, clutching his ankle. "Oh right, yes" I ran to a cupboard and rummaged in it until I found the medical set. I grabbed the bandages and some pain killers. I handed a capsule to Adrien and he swallowed it easily without any water. I brought the bandage to his ankle, and began wrapping it the same way my mum had taught me when I was younger. I noticed him not even watching, just staring at the wall, his breathing shaky. Once I had finished I looked up to see his face streaked with tears.

"Hey dude..." I began, putting my hand on his shoulder. "Does it really hurt that much?" He turned to look at me and shook his head. It looked like he was debating whether to let out the truth or not. "You can tell me" I encouraged softly. He rubbed the back of his neck in such an Adrien way it made me want to hug him.

"I feel so, so useless. In every battle ladybug is the one who saves the day. And today, I just became a burden." He wiped his eyes and his head drooped. I shuffled myself so that I was sitting next to him, and wrapped my arm around his far shoulder.

"Valentines day." I began. "Dark Cupid. Who took the arrow for ladybug? Evillustrator. Who saved Marinette? Syren. Who caught ladybug when she got thrown out of the water? Time breaker. Who threw himself in front of ladybug so she wouldn't get zapped? Who did it Adrien?"

"I dunno" he said stubbornly. I glared at him. "Fine, me" I squeezed his shoulder comfortingly.

"So who isn't useless?"

"Me" he murmured. I moved my head so I could stare directly into his eyes.

"You're my best friend. You are NOT NOT NOT useless!"

I could have sworn I saw a smile begin to form at the edge of his mouth. Suddenly we were interrupted by a blinding swarm of ...ladybugs?

"She did it" gasped Adrien in shock "she defeated the Akuma". We heard a knock on the door. I went to answer it, and as I opened it an inch and a hand shot through. It was red and spotted, and held a silver ring. I picked up the ring and ladybug left us. I walked bad over to Adrien.

"Merry Christmas" I told him, holding out his most treasured possession. His eyes lit up and he grabbed the item from my hand. Sliding it onto his finger, a flying thing similar to the one I has seen with Marinette earlier emerged. "Adrien!" It yelled in a high pitched crackly voice.

"Nino" Adrien began. "This is Plagg. He's a kwami. He gives me my powers."

"Nice to meet you dude!"

"Yes...dude. Do you have any cheese?"

"Um no. Listen guys, I gotta get going, I will see you at school tomorrow and it you want to talk...I'm always here" I winked as I ran out the door.

"See you Nino!" Adrien called after me
