That next day as he got out of the car in front of the school, Adrien still had the previous nights events running through his head. Who was that guy? Why did he have Marinette's bracelet?

"Hey dude?" Nino woke Adrien from his trance. "Did Marinette lose her bracelet?"

He looked down and realized he'd taken the bracelet out of his pocket and was running his fingers across the leather. "Yeah, found it in my bag when I got home. Must have slipped off her wrist."

"While most guys put a ring on it, you use a leather cuff. Your lovely lady is over there." Nino pointed towards a crowd of girls. "She's with this guy who just transferred. Alya said she volunteered to show him around town."

Adrien looked and finally saw Marinette. She was talking to a guy who had his arm wrapped around her waist. And he looked familiar, especially the ring on his hand. "Who is that?"

"Alya told me his name is Felix. Apparently he's a ballet prodigy whose back from studying in London. Oh right," Nino looked at him slyly. "he scored the girls vouchers for tickets to his show Friday. Alya says we can come too if we want. But who wants to see ballet."

"That sounds cool. I'm going to go talk to Marinette." He got ready to give her the bracelet. Then he saw Felix whisper something in Marinette's ear. It made her face turn red. But then he saw her push him away and do that thing she did when she was nervous.


"I'm sorry, Felix, I already have someone." This sentence made the ballerina's face fall. "Well, its not like me and him are really a thing. It's j-just, we've been on some dates. We aren't really a couple, but I want to be." She sighed out a breath. "Add to the fact I just met you and..."

"I understand...I did kind of force myself into your life." Felix smiled, then winked. "Maybe I can help you get this someone."

"Thank you for understanding, Felix."

"Marinette!" She heard Adrien as he ran up beside her. He held out her favorite bracelet, the leather cuff he'd had given her for her birthday. "I found this in my bag. Maybe I should put it on for you this time."

"Thank you. I couldn't find it after I came back from lunch. I thought I lost it forever." Marinette beamed as he buckled it onto her wrist. "I feel like Cinderella."


Felix stared at the cuff. I gave that same bracelet to Cat Noir last night after knicking it from Marinette at the bakery. As he glanced Adrien's hand, he saw the silver ring. Only Cat Noir would have that cuff so soon after I gave it to him, not to mention that ring.

"Felix, you okay?"

As Marinette stared at him, Felix snapped out of his trance. "I'm fine, just trying to remember my class schedule."

"That reminds me, I wanted to talk to you about something." Adrien hurried Marinette away. Felix could tell by her face that he was asking her to be his girlfriend. If Adrien really is Cat Noir, Felix had chosen the perfect bait.

His train of thought was interrupted by his phone ringing. "Hello, Hawkmoth."


What can I say? Felix is just so devious. At first I was going to have Felix get together with Marinette, but then I realized she likes Adrien way too much. And as a girl who has been dating the same amazing guy for almost two years, I have to agree. Especially since he said that if I dressed as Ladybug he'd be Cat Noir. Sorry for these two chapters being so short. I just wanted to get plot out before I started working on the really juicy bits (aka the reason this is rated M). And knowing me, I'm gonna be rewriting that over and over again. And then watching more Miraculous. And then rewriting. You get the idea.
