Prompt: Lila and her lies...only this time, they're about her and Chat Noir…

Prompt idea from pinksakura271.

"Who's Lila?" Marinette asked her bff. "And why is everyone talking about her?" The young reporter shoved her phone in her friends face and pointed to the screen. "Haven't you heard? She's a new student here and is like bff's with Ladybug and Chat Noir! She even promised me and interview later today for my blog!"

Marinette's face scrunched up into confusion. 'How can this Lila girl be bestfriends with Chat and me if I've never even heard of her? She's obviously lying.'

"Hello? Earth to Marinette!"

The bluenette had to pause her train of thought when she noticed Alya waving her hand in front of her eyes. "Wha-?" Alya rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Didn't you hear me?" Marinette only gave a sheepish shrug as well as a nervous chuckle. The brunette sighed. "I said we should probably get to class. The bell is gonna ring in a couple minutes." Marinette hummed in agreement as she followed her friend towards the stairs.

..

"Class, meet our new student, Lila." The teacher announced, gesturing to the girl. She was a tall girl with long brown hair and olive green eyes. Marinette thought she seemed pretty suspicious. "Lila, would you like to tell the class something interesting about yourself?" The girl nodded and walked to the front of the teacher's desk. In a loud, clear voice, she said, "Hi. My name is Lila and something interesting about me would probably be…..Well there is a lot to choose from, but one thing about me is that I am super close friends with Chat Noir and Ladybug; especially Chat."

Both Marinette and Adrien's ears perked up at the last part.

"Can you tell us a bit more?" Alya asked, holding up her phone to record everything. Lila grinned. "Of course. Let's see...ok, Ladybug and I are so close that we are like sisters!" Marinette let out a small gasp. 'How dare she?! We haven't even met!'

The bluenette was too busy with her own thoughts to notice Adrien's shocked expression. 'Who even is this girl? Could she really be friends with my lady? But that doesn't make any sense!'

"And Chat Noir…"

Adrien and Marinette and Marinette both focused all their attention to the liar as she began talking about the cat-like superhero.

"Chat Noir is like my knight in shining black leather! He saved my life once and even kissed me!" She swooned.

Marinette's jaw dropped while Adrien's face burned a deep, crimson red. The whole class was silent. Marinette didn't know exactly why, but she grew very angry. Her and Chat Noir were best friends and they told each other absolutely everything, so she knew Lila had to be lying. Also, Chat Noir never stopped gushing about Ladybug so why would he kiss this Lila girl? Marinette thought it was super un-fair of Lila to be spreading lies about her kitty and just couldn't control her anger anymore.

"THAT'S A LIE!" The young designer stood up and slammed her hands down on her desk as she yelled. She realized everyone's eyes were now on her and felt her face heat up. She glanced in front of her, noticing Adrien staring at her with some emotion she couldn't identify. Shock? Fear? Amusement? ….Adoration?

"It is not!" Lila growled and stomped her foot, fists clenched at her sides. "He loves me!"

"He's never even met you!" Marinette shot back. The girl's glare seemed to grow more intense at her words. "And how could you possibly know that?"

Marinette froze. She couldn't exactly just yell out that she was Ladybug and she's never met Lila or that her and Chat hang out all the time. "I-uh…"

"That's enough! Everyone settle down!" Miss Bustier interrupted. "Marinette, please sit back down and Lila, you can sit at the back with Nathaniel."

Both girls obeyed without another word and were silent for the rest of class. Meanwhile, Adrien couldn't believe what Lila had just told the whole class. Chat Noir never saved her life and he definitely never kissed her. He was so proud of his princess for standing up to the girl but he wasn't finished with her just yet.

..

"So what exactly was that back in class?" Alya questioned her friend as the two ate their lunches on a bench in the park. Marinette just shrugged her shoulders. "I dunno...she was just..irritating?" The girl mumbled quietly.

Alya opened her mouth to say something else but was cut off by an alarm on her phone. "Oh! I gotta get back to school if I wanna have time to interview Lila!" The girl exclaimed as she began to pack her things and stand up. "You coming, girl?"

Marinette shook her head and continued to eat. "You go ahead." Alya gave a slight nod before speeding off in the direction of the school. The young designer let out a depressed sigh as she watched her friend go. She just wanted to be alone so she could think about that Lila girl.

Sadly, her luck had betrayed her as Lila herself stepped out from behind a tree and approached the bench, scowling in her direction. Marinette wanted to bang her head against a wall. 'Of all people that could interrupt me, it had to be her?' She internally screamed.

"What did you think you were doing earlier?" The girl snapped, olive green eyes burning holes through her skin.

"What do you mean?" Mari questioned innocently.

"You know exactly what I mean!"

"I'm sorry, I really don't"

"Don't interfere with me and my kitty!"

Marinette's eyes narrowed. 'HER kitty? How dare she! He is not hers!'

"Chat Noir is not your kitty!" She shouted. Lila only smirked. "Of course he is." She grinned while Marinette screeched.

"NO. I'M. NOT."

Both girl's heads snapped up in the direction of the new voice. Chat Noir, himself, stood there, swinging his tail in his hand, on top of the fence. He glared at the liar. "Oh! Chat Noir, what a coincidence!" She beckoned him over in a sickeningly flirty tone. He scowled at her as he jumped down and walked over to the two girls.

Marinette smirked. She knew he wouldn't let Lila have her way. He strolled over and wrapped his arms around Marinette protectively, pressing her face to his chest. She blushed at the unexpected action, but still wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I'm her kitty. Marinette's kitty only." He snarled at Lila, who was too frightened to react. She just stared at the two, mouth hanging open. He then cupped Mari's cheeks and brought his lips down to hers. Marinette was stunned at first but then relaxed into the kiss. Their lips moved in sync and Cat smirked when he heard an irritated growl from the brunette in front of them. "Fine!" The shrieked, "I didn't even like you anyways you stupid cat!"

The two pulled away to watch the angry girl stomp off in the direction of the school. As soon as she was out of sight, Chat pulled Marinette closer and tightened his grip on her tiny form. She gave a surprised yelp as he nuzzled into her soft mid-night locks and let out a deep sigh. "Ugh that girl was annoying. I don't like her." He mumbled quietly while he hugged his princess.

"Yeah, she was also getting on my nerves when she started talking about you. I knew she was lying." She huffed. Chat let her go to look into her eyes, a wicked smirk displayed on his lips. She raised an eyebrow suspiciously at his actions.

"Princess, were you jealous?"

Marinette's face turned a bright red. "W-what? NO! I was j-just kinda pissed cause she was spreading lies about you!" Marinette crossed her arms over her chest as if to further prove her point. Her kitty let out an amused snort.

"Awe so you were just looking out for me?" He cocked his head to the side adorably while one of his fake ears drooped. Marinette nodded.

"Hey, wait a minute! What about you? What was with that kiss?" Marinette now had her own smirk spreading across her face when she noticed Chat's eyes almost pop out of his head.

"W-what? K-kiss? I-uh..well s-she...erm.."

Adrien could feel his face heating up as he spoke and prayed that the mask would hide his blush. Unfortunately, it didn't and Marinette noticed right away.

"Aw, kitty-"

"AAAAHHH!"

They both spun around to see a fox-themed super villain terrorizing citizens in the park. "I am Volpina!" She cackled, "And Chat Noir will pay for what he has done! So will his girlfriend!"

The two teen's faces burned red at her words.

"I am not your girlfriend."

"Not yet, my princess."

"You do realize this is our fault right?

"Yep. And now I gotta fix it. Run to safety princess."

Marinette hummed in agreement and dashed in the other direction. Once she was hidden from sight, she opened her bag to find her kwami cuddled in the corner. "Tikki, spots on!"

..

"Let Marinette go! She didn't do anything to you!" Chat cried desperately to the newest akuma as she held his princess over the edge of the Eiffel Tower. "What do you mean? She made you hate me and now she will pay!" Volpina cackled while teasingly dangling Marinette's arm. "Chat Noir, save me!" He heard Marinette scream.

"Chat! What's going on!" A new, familiar, voice spoke up next to him. He turned to meet the confused gaze of his partner. "Ladybug! She has Marinette! We have to help her!"

Ladybug turned her gaze to the top of the tower, eyes widening when she saw her civilian self hanging off the edge. She then noticed just how panicked her kitty was.

"Give me your miraculous or I'll drop her!" The akuma threatened. "You wouldn't do that! You're bluffing!" Ladybug shot back. Volpina smirked. "You wanna bet on that?"

She slowly released one finger at a time from Marinette's wrist.

"NO!" Chat Noir screamed and began to remove his ring, but it was too late. He tried to reach for her but it was no use. He watched his princess fall to her death, the most frightful expression on her face as she sent a silent plea for help while plummeting to the ground.

"MARINETTE!" He screamed once more and was about to jump after her before Ladybug stopped him. "Chat Noir don't!" She yelled. He turned to her, streams of tears flowing down his cheeks and the most sorrowful look in his green orbs. "Marinette.." He choked back on a sob.

Then he turned to Volpina, a burning flame of rage glinted in his eyes. "You..YOU BITCH!" He snarled as he lunged towards the fox. "Chat Noir, stop!" He heard Ladybug call after him but chose to ignore her. Marinette, his princess, was gone and he had nothing left to care for. Volpina let out a strangled squeak as she was tackled to the hissed at her as he punched her face several times.

When he was sure she couldn't move, he grabbed her necklace and tossed it to his partner, who was too stunned to move. When he noticed she didn't make a move to grab the akuma, he raced over to her, picked it up off the ground and shoved it in her palms.

"Ladybug, please! Cleanse the akuma! It might bring her back!" He cried desperately. "P-please.."

The terror in his voice made a cold shiver run down her spine. "Kitty-"

"HURRY UP AND DO IT LADYBUG!"

Ladybug felt the tears collecting in her eyes. Did he really care about her that much? "Please Ladybug.." He sobbed.

She swiftly cleansed the akuma and was about to use her miraculous cure when…

"I didn't use my lucky charm…"

"Use it now!"

She looked to Chat. His eyes were almost red from crying so much. She silently nodded before throwing her yo-yo into the air to summon her lucky charm. A cell phone dropped into her hand.

"A cell phone?" She then glanced around and saw Lila flash red with black polka dots. ...LILA! She was lying on the ground, clutching her head, while bleeding...a lot. Ladybug quickly realized what she had to do and used her charm to call an ambulance.

Afterwards, she used her miraculous cleanse and left the doctors to take care of Lila. Her charm had healed her completely but she was still gonna stay unconscious for a while.

"Where's Marinette?"

Ladybug took her kitty's hand in hers. "Chat-"

Beep. Beep.

"Follow me." She instructed and lead him to a dark alley way where they were safely hidden from view.

"Ladybug your transformation.."

She pressed a finger to Chat's lips. "Shhh..I know kitty." Then she squeezed her eyes shut as a warm, pink glow surrounded the heroine, leaving Marinette in her place.

"Marinette?!"

She refused to open her eyes, unable to see his reaction. Would he be relieved or-

She suddenly couldn't breathe. Her kitty was hugging her like his life depended on it. "OhmygodMarinette. I'm so glad you're safe and not dead. I love you. I love you so much, please never leave me. I can't live without you." He muttered into her blue hair. She hugged him back just as tightly. "So..you aren't disappointed?"

He reluctantly pulled away, an anxious look on his features. "Why would I be upset? I love you."

"Because I'm not as amazing as Ladybug."

"Marinette." He pressed his lips against her, planting a soft, loving kiss on her mouth. "You are the most amazing person I have ever met. You're my bestfriend, my princess, my partner and my Lady. I couldn't imagine life without you, Marinette."

Marinette nearly tackled him to the ground in a hug. "Thank you.." She whispered. He wrapped his arms around her once more and smiled as he kissed the top of her head.

"I love you, kitty."

He smiled once more. "I love you too, Marinette."

Sorry. I was planning on having Adrien reveal his identity too, but I got too lazy so...deal with it. :3
