(Kicks open door) Who cares if Christmas is finished?! Let's go!

I don't own ML

Adriens Pov

How. How on earth was I going to do this? How could I even dothis? I stare blankly at the (after many attempts) completely wrapped presents.I have over a dozen individually wrapped items staring back at me with the same amount of force I was staring at it with.

Screw it all. I was so close. Everything was ready, everything was set, but this- just how on earth was I going to do this?

It's Christmas eve and I have to get my presents under the tree. But with this much items, how was I going to get everything under the tree without anyone figuring it out?

Unless... Wait no, that couldn't work- could it? I ponder for a while whilst I sit on my bed.

What if I just wait until everyone is sleeping, like what happens with Santa on Christmas when he delivers presents. It might just work. And I rather take my chances with that option anyway. What else could I do anyway?

I grab the trolly. Rolling it a couple of times to see whether or not it made too much noise. I adjust the wheels and apply some oil to make it silent.

This will be useful.

Hopefully.

Maybe.

Definitely.

I examine the presents one more time to see if they are good enough to give, finally settling on the harsh reality that as someone who hasn't wrapped a present before and has little to no wrapping paper left, this was the best I was going to get.

Plopping them one by one into the trolly I say my silent goodbyes to the presents as well as sending my prayers that Marinette likes all this but if she doesn't... I rather not to think about it. Finally placing the last present in the trolly I cover it with a thin sheet. Welp, now it's just a waiting game. What was the time anyway?

My eyes scan my room, once I finally locate the small clock by the bed I grab it and read the time.

7:45 pm.

Groaning under my breathe and letting a curse slip I place the clock back and lay back on my bed. That was until Wayzz's voice echoed around the house.

"Everyone get here! We need to make-"

"And eat-" Plagg interrupted.

"Dinner."

Normal pov

The four teens exit their rooms and make their way to the kitchen, following Wayzz's calm voice as well as Plagg's taunting one.

"Wow, is that the tree?" Nino points out and whistled lowly. They stop and just stare in awe for a moment, Alya even going close to it and bending down to confirm if it was a real tree or not, slipping the iPod in a place it wouldn't get noticed through the process.

"Guys, this is a real tree." She confirms walking back.

"Oh man, that's so dope!" Nino replies with awe seeping through his words.

"Well, we don't want to be late- let's go!" Alya exclaims energetically as she leads the gang to the kitchen thereof which they find numerous ingredients as well as cooking utensils.

"Okay guys, you'll be making your own dinner- this isn't a test, we just can't be bothered to make THAT much dinner- heck even if a singular person made dinner for four people it'll be hard, that's why everyone has to help out."

"Let's make this easier for you guys, who here know's to cook?"

Adrien digs his hands into his pockets.

Nino starts whistling.

Alya sorta hesitates a bit before she finally says "I'm good with helping cooking or preparing the ingredients and such, but otherwise I'm pretty sure Marinette is the only one out of us that can cook..."

"Okay then Marinette, you'll be the head chef and can tell all of them what to do and such." Plagg say's clearly not caring as he walks away.

Marinette turns around to face the rest of them.

"By chance would anyone know what a Christmas dinner would look like?" She brings up after a moment of silence.

"I know what Christmas music sounds like-" Nino brings up.

"Oh yeah, let's play some music!- it'll boost up the festivity and all" Alya says excitedly, Nino giving a nod and going off to get his iPod from his room, also grabbing the present, slipping it under the tree when he returns.

"Okay! Let's hit up the tunes and get this Christmas dinner set!" Nino cheers.

Timeskip 12:00 am

"Merry Christmas!" They all cheer.

The feast was done and dusted, leaving plenty of leftovers for the next couple of days- (picture the feast looking like what was made during the Christmas episode and Marinette giving out orders like she's in the ladybug transformation) and everyone was packing up, getting ready for sleep.

Well everyone except for Adrien and Marinette, whom of which were both doing the same thing, wait till 12:30 am and then attack. And when that time came they didn't hesitate.

Adrien left after Marinette as he had more things to get ready, so by the time he rocked up Marinette was safely hidden behind the large fern tree oblivious to his presence. He placed his presents by the tree and now that all four presents had been placed it was impossible to tell who put what present.

The two teens whip their head in the direction of the noise- that definitely wasn't normal and it definitely didn't come from either of them.

A middle-aged man in his 50's is creeping around the house looking through drawers. Adrien who had already hidden behind the fern meet's Marinette, both a bit startled right now but couldn't care less about the presents.

What do they do in this scenario? The man finally finds what he was looking for as he grabs the book in hast and holds it close to him. Well if one thing was certain, they couldn't just do nothing. Marinette bringing Adriens ear close to her spoke words that were almost silent.

"I'll distract him, seal all exits in this room and go get someone."

Nodding he slips away and gets to work. A while after Adrien locked all the exits and had left to get someone.

"You know, Santa is supposed to be wearing a red suit delivering presents- not in a weird purple costume and taking stuff" He whips his head at her and starts making a move to the window.

"Don't bother, it's locked," I answer as he try's to pry it open. He turns around to face me.

"What do you want?" He askes cautiously- why does he sound familiar?

"Who are you?"

"Hawkmoth" And with that, he sends a fist to my stomach sending me to the floor. I'm not physically trained, but I'm not weak either. When he turns his back to me I get up and send an elbow to the back of his head with full force, not giving up either he attacks back, this turns into a full-on brawl when Wayzz charges into the room. Adrien get's behind 'Hawkmoth' and get's him in a lock.

"Put the book down," Wayzz commands.

"Wayzz, you never change." Adriens grip loosens.

"Father?" In the split second his grip loosened he got out of the hold, broke the window and jumped out.

End.

Also, the reason why I hadn't updated is that I had gone on a Christmas holiday with family and had left my laptop behind :c

Reviews:

pinksakura271: I rather like to think that Marinette wasn't chosen purely because of her pure heart- if it was based on that Rose would have been chosen, I like to think that her character is more of 'can think fast on their feet' sort of person. I also wouldn't call her a pathetic idiot as she isn't stupid or pathetic as shown in a lot of episodes as she uses her fast thinking to de-akumatise a victim. But this is just my perspective of her ^^

WildflowerDar: phew xD

HavUSeenMyUnicorn: Heck yeah they'll be used! It'll be like a cover or code name or something. Also, no I haven't seen your unicorn, but I'll keep an eye out! ^^
