Like most of us all I wholeheartedly support LadyNoir/Adrinette and can't freaking wait to them get a clue of each others. But I have guilty pleasure crush on Nathanael... And Felix... And while being at work one night I tried to think of a story where everyone of them could have some part in Marinette's life. I'm not the most creative person but this is what I came up with, so just hear me out. And sorry for grammar errors.

Warning: Nasty surprise incoming right at the beginning.

P.S. Obviously don't own any of the characters. All the rights belong to Thomas Astruc.

Prologue

The city had been set on fire, destruction and chaos spreading from multiple simultaneously opened voids all around the city of Paris. Hawk Moth had finally made the grand move that he had been planning for so long, making all the previous attempts look like mockery. And even though this grand attack had failed, things didn't look good.

Their trio was completely overthrown by such an act and all this was just to get their Miraculouses. Hurting hundreds of people, infecting anyone who had darkness in their mind and letting them work their magic around the city. Volpina had it bad for being overtaken by multiple infected which she had tried to lead away from the center.

Pained screams and cries echoed faintly from here and there. But the loudest of screams came out from Marinette Dupain-Chang. It wasn't a scream from physical pain or of the horror of the situation. No. The pain was deeper, much more deeper as her heart was shattering from it´s edges. It was all her fault. Tears rained down from her face dripping on the person on her lap. She brushed his blonde bangs off his eyes. He was frowning in obvious pain, blood dripping down his chin but still tryouts of a grin were present on his lips. As if he was trying to play it off. Chat… What have you done.

Her hand intervened with his pressing against the horrible wound on his chest, covered in blood that he was losing with every passing moment. And there was nothing she could do about it making her fall into despair even further. Oh why, why he had to be so stupid. Risking his life and for what? For her, for Paris. Even though the Ladybug that she is might agree with that but right now Marinette wholeheartedly wished to switch places with him. With a hoarse voice she let out loud sobs seeing no happy ending.

His trembling hand cupped her face and tried to wipe her tears away. Marinette immediately caught his palm, supporting it and leaning onto it despite the blood. It felt so gentle, loving that made her want to try and smile a little bit.

"Mari…" he trembled. "Please, just don't cry. You know I... don't know how to-" he inhaled sharply, " -how to handle you when…" He was cut short with a finger on his lips. Even though his quiet voice was barely audible, she heard him clearly.

"Shh… You shouldn't talk now. Soon we will get you help and you will be just fine…" Marinette smiled through her tears, voice laced with hope and optimism that shouldn't even be possible with everything that is happening.

Chat gave her a longing sympathetic smile and groaned once again. His consciousness was getting hazy; eyelids too heavy to keep them open. He tried to turn his head to his side guiding his girl's attention where a pair of bright red earrings rested. He had gotten them back. Back from the wicked man who now had ran away tail between his legs… But not completely defeated. However the price was high, but he was willing to pay it for her.

"Mademoiselle, could you please show me your magic. I'm sure it will help me as well…" He tried his best to sound like he did while teasing and flirting with Ladybug, the dame of his heart. A dim shine twinkled in her blue eyes remembering the peaceful times. After giving him long look she grabbed the jewelries but before standing up, leaned down and pressed a light kiss on his lips.

"You better keep your eyes on me then, stray." Marinette gently put his head down on the ground and then stood up ears once again pierced.

"Tikki, transform me!" In a moment Ladybug was standing upon Chat ready to heal and repair the destruction left behind by Hawk Moth. The area was incredibly large and something like this will take a huge toll on Tikki. But her tiny voice in Marinette's head convinced that there is nothing to worry about.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" she yelled as her yo-yo soared up in the skies, freeing the huge amount of magic-touched ladybugs all across the city. They flew through every akumatized soul, banishing black butterflies and leaving victims clueless about what had just happened. The architecture was repaired and fires put down bringing the rightful darkness of late evening upon Paris. Some cheers of joy filled the air as wounded citizens found themselves being alright once again. The city was once again saved.

Panting heavily Ladybug caught her gadget and dropped her transformation immediately. Kwami flew out from her earring, landing in her palms. The poor little one was barely breathing, exhausted to say the very least. But Marinette just placed her carefully in her bag and darted back to Chat's side.

He was clean from any blood and the black leather suit looked as if it was new, but his face showed that there had been no improvement for his condition. Marinette felt all of her blood leave her face when she dropped on her knees next to him. Crawling upon his barely breathing body she cupped his face, hoping that he would open his eyes behind the mask.

"Hey, Chat… It's time to wake up. I did as you asked, so..." She didn't manage to finish for Chat began to lose his transformation, magic peeling off his suit quickly leaving the young man before her. When the mask disappeared and his hairdo changed back into the carefully styled one Plagg flew out stopping right next to the girl's face. His usual, sneaky grin was nowhere to be seen and instead a small tear ran down his dark face. He shook his head.

Marinette's eyes widened staring at the cat kwami in utter disbelief. No way. He had to be pulling a prank like he usually did. She had just brought back everyone and everything back to its original condition, then why wasn't he opening his eyes. Her ears began to ring as she could hear nothing but her heartbeat that slowed its rhythm to the critical. Marinette's eyes dropped tears to his face once again, overflowing. She wanted to breath out his name but she couldn't find her voice. Please…

His brows jerked slightly as gray eyes peered open a little bit, searching for his mademoiselle. She was right in front of him and his lip tried to twitch upwards. Marinette immediately threw her hands around his neck. Hugging as well as she could she buried her face in his neck.

"Good girl… You always manage to amaze me…" His breath hitched. The blond really wanted to pet her on the head but his arm didn't listen to him. And so didn't any other part of his body either.

"I'm sorry Mari-" he coughed once again. The wound was back and began to paint a big scarlet rose on his clothes. This was his end. "-looks like I won't be able to stay by your side forever as I pledged."

"No! No please, don't say that!" she refused to listen for his words. "We promised that…!"

"Marinette." his voice cut through her trembling, serious as much as he could be. She quickly jerked up to look into his eyes. "Promise me that you will move on…" The word's added a new crack in her heart as she fought the urge to wail out loud. But it wasn't the moment. She looked up into the night sky to hide her expression.

It was too much for her to handle. They had just grown closer to each other, their spring was supposed to last longer, blooming into something big and wonderful. After overcoming the fear of revealing each other and the struggles to hide their relationship from their closest ones, this wasn't the end that she hoped for. He made her forget everyone else in this entire world in the same way that she did to him. But the world was taking him away.

"Mari…" He whispered sweetly and she dropped her gaze back at him. He was leaving her. The last thing she could do was say the farewell with a smile so he could go in peace. So she smiled at him, the smile full of pain but still warm and honest. He closed his eyes, pleased with what he saw. "I love you Marinette... My Ladybug."

The words struck her, making her exhausted head spin. With a pushed out giggle she bend down to his lip whispering "I know, Felix. I will always love you too..." sealing their lips together. The kiss was light yet Marinette put all her feelings in it. All the words that she didn't dare to say to him, the feeling that she didn't have chance yet to express. All of her love. Please don't go, don't leave me now. How you expect me to go on alone? Hot tears ran down her face. The blonde responded to her, feeling her up with every inch of his mouth sending electric impulses all across her system. I love you. Only you. No one but you.

Soon his lips slowed down, becoming lazier and lazier before completely stopping. Marinette gritted her teeth sobs finally escaping her throat as she pressed their foreheads together. Then the cry grew louder and louder before finally a scream of shattered heart broke free. No one was there to see them, to hear her cry so Marinette let it all out hugging the still warm but now lifeless body.

Felix! Felix…

Dan-dan-daa... It wasn't Adrien!

Hello once again. There are most likely some of you who have no clue who Felix or Volpina are. There are articles about them in ML-wikia but in short:

-Felix was a rudimentary version of the main male character and Chat Noir for this show back from promotion video in 2012. However he was replaced by Adrien to the official show and scrapped after. Recommend to check "Miraculous ladybug PV" in Youtube to get a picture of him.

-Volpina is a possible future Miraculous holder. There have been sneak peak and other references to this fox like girl, but it hasn't been proven yet. But in this fic, she is the holder of orange Miraculous.

TBC.
