Adrien's POV

"Mama! Let's play!" he smiled hugely and laughed. A small boy with golden hair and bright green eyes jumped up and down.

"Now Adrien," his mother laughed. "Calm down a little, sweetheart."

"But Mama…" Adrien pretended to frown. "I'm so happy you're back."

Suddenly, Adrien was 13 again. His mother was far away, fading, leaving.

"Remember what I told you?" his mother called out to him. "I didn't leave. Not really."

"Mom!" Adrien started running. He sprinted as fast as he could, growing claws, ears, a tail. Chat Noir chased the warmth of his mother's voice.

He chased the way she smelled of roses, the way she would smile, and most of all, the love in her eyes. She was laughing now, growing farther and farther away.

And suddenly he was a boy again. He was wearing a black sweater, a cat ear headband tucked into his hair. He had drawn cat whiskers on his face as well. "Look Mama! I'm all dressed for halloween!"

"You're a black cat!" his mother laughed and pulled her son to her. Her eyes glowed with joy and love.

"No Mama," Adrien giggled and shook his head. "I'm a panther!"

"But you'll always be a little kitty to me," his mother smiled and hugged her son tightly.

And then he was chasing her again, crying out. "Mom! Mom, come back! We miss you! I-I miss you so much!"

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

His eyes opened and Adrien stared at the ceiling. Tears ran down his face, soft sobs hiccuping from his chest. Plagg was nowhere to be seen.

"Mom..?"


See that thing in pieces on the floor? That's my heart.

Just a quick oneshot because Tumblr is AWFUL. (not really tho)

There could be more?

I dunno, maybe something with Marinette.

I'm so sorry my poor smol cinnamon roll.
