The Wedding.
Chapter 2.
"Chat...Chat." Adrien recognized his name, but it sounded like the voice was far from him. The sun was almost blinding and hot. How did it get so hot in his appartment?
"Chat!" the garbled voice was getting more insistent. He blinked and through the blinding light he was able to make out shapes as everything started to come into focus.
"CHAT! PLEASE!" His eyes snapped open and he forced them to focus. It was Ladybug's voice. He wasn't in his appartment. He was outside. he looked at his hands; leather gloves. He was Chat Noir. He looked to the voice. There was Ladybug and a lady dressed like a carnival fortune teller wrestling to keep the other one down. Ladybug pointed to Chat's feet.
"The Akuma is in the crystal ball, Chat! Smash it!" He looked down and the glass orb. Finally, reality caught up to him. He quickly brought his foot down upon the crystal ball, shattering it. A small black butterfly started to flutter out. With a shove, Ladybug moved the lady and scrambled to catch the Akuma and de-evilize it.
"What happened?" He rubbed the back of his head, confusion still swimming in his mind. Ladybug wrapped him in a hug.
"I'm so glad you're okay. You jumped in front of the cards Psychic was throwing. She said you were getting a glimpse of your future." Chat felt all the color drain from his face. He pushed Ladybug away. She looked confused. He kept his hands on her shoulder and kept her at arms length.
"I waited for you, and you never showed and I missed my happy ending. I need to talk to her." Chat felt himself rambling. "Ladybug, will you please tell the press that the Akuma's name was Dream Weaver and she showed elaborate dreams to try to cause panic . If people knew what they saw was their future, some people may do drastic things and we don't want that." He dropped his hands. "I have to go, I have a girl I need to talk to." He turned. Ladybug grabbed him by his tail.
"What are you going to do, Chat?"
"Something 'll see... Hopefully" Chat replied softly. Ladybug looked lost.
"You just said we don't want people to do anything drastic."
"I can't let this future come true. I end up with Chloe!" Chat paused, then added for extra effect "CHLOE!" Ladybug wrinkled her nose and let go of his tail.
"Go save yourself, Chaton." As Chat was catapulting away, he heard Ladybug releasing the miraculous. He could sense his memories of the vision getting weaker. He flung himself through his open window leading to his bathroom. He quickly dropped his transformation and scribbled down all he could remember about his memory. He couldn't remember the colors of the wedding, or the exact name of the church. He remembered the wedding took place during the day, or was it the evening? It was fading fast. He wrote in big letters MARINETTE. He closed his eyes and remembered how his stomach felt when he opened the door to her dressing room. He smiled as he remembered how warm her body felt as she hugged him. The way her hair smelled of Vanilla. He opened his eyes. He was getting tired and it was getting late. Surely what he was going to tell Marinette could wait until tomorrow. He laid down on his bed, not even bothering to pull the covers over himself. That was when the memory of Marinette walking past him and towards Nathanael crossed his mind. The Miraculous was trying to erase the memory. Adrien forced himself up. Plagg was lying in an empty box of camenbert.
"Plagg, claws out."
Chat was bounding over the buildings at break neck speed. Night had set on Paris, and it was eerily quiet. He wondered how many people were trying to sleep off the visions they had. He finally spotted the bakery and swung up to the balcony. He landed effortlessly. He peered in the window. Marinette was lounging on her chaise, sketchbook draped over her stomach. She was fast asleep. Her lips formed a small pout as she muttered something. He tapped on her window. Her eyes flew open. She looked startled. Then her eyes adjusted to the dark and she spotted Chat by her trap door. She unlatched the door and opened it, motioning for him to come in.
"Kitty, what are you doing here so..." Chat didn't even give her a chance to finish. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and buried his face into the top of her head. The vanilla scent filled his senses. He smiled. He hadn't imagined it.
"The Akuma got me." Chat began.
"What did Psychic show you?" He hugged her tighter.
"I was so busy chasing a fantasy that I didn't see what was right in front of me. It's getting harder to remember all the details, but I remember how I felt. It was horrible." Marinette ran her hand through his messy hair. She pulled away from him and walked to the chaise and sat down and motioned for Chat to join her.
"There is no proof that any of Psychic's visions are true. It could have been a dream to mess with you. Chat, you are shaking. What makes you so sure it was real?" Chat looked up and shook his head. Maybe she was right. That's when he spotted the pictures of himself on the wall. He heard Alya's voice in his head. "She had a major crush on you."
"The wedding." He looked at her. "You have your wedding to Adrien Agreste already planned, and you've had all the details planned for a while." Marinette's face flushed a deep crimson. " Marinette, how did you know about Psychic?"
"It's been all over the L - LadyBlog" She stammered.
"No, Ladybug told everyone that the Akuma's name was Dream Weaver and never mentioned visions." Marinette's head hung and the red spread to her ears. "The vision also told me that I was so caught up waiting for Ladybug, that I missed out on you. I realized I was in love with you as you were walking down the aisle to marry someone else. I had to dance with you, knowing that I was going to have to let go of you and walk away. And as you were leaving you hugged me." Marinette looked up nervously as Chat leaned in close to her ear. " and you put your lips by my ear, like this, and whispered 'I was Ladybug.'" Marinette gasped. Chat looked up at her startled expression.
"The vision was right." Marinette finally mumbled. "Wonderful Ladybug is actually just Marinette." She shrugged and averted her eyes toward the floor. Chat took both of her hands.
"I am in love with both of you. You are just as amazing as Ladybug. I can't imagine my life without either of you." Chat pulled Marinette into a tight hug. As he held her he looked at his ring. "Plagg, claws in." A bright green flash enveloped both of them. Adrien pulled away from Marinette to see that her eyes were shut tightly. "Don't, Marinette, I saw what happened when we didn't know each other's identities. I refuse to live in that world." Marinette slowly opened her eyes. Her lips spread into a wide smile.
"It's you."
I did plan on ending it there, but I think an Epilogue is in order.
