OKAY SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG!
But I am back, and with a 1111 word long chapter.
BTW: This story is not finished, thank you.
Enjoy.
Lights. Roses. Romantic music. Food. Tuxedo.
Everything had to be perfect.
For Marinette.
"Lights? Check."
"Romantic view? Check."
"Food? Check. Everything seems to be ready for my date. It's 5:55 now, I'll be on my way to collect my treasure." The Evillustrator said. He draws a quick doodle of a jet pack on his drawing pad on his wrist, then suddenly his drawing pops up behind him. Not flinching, he slipped his arms through the straps and started it up, taking off in a cloud of grey smoke.
"Okay Adrien, he should be here soon." Marinette said as she paced around her room, nervously. Adrien was sitting on her bed, watching her walk around, scared as anything. "It's okay, everything will go smoothly tonight princess." Adrien was very good at calming Marinette down, he knew just what to say. She glanced over at Adrien. "I'm not going to hurt anyone, Mari. I promise."
She walks over to Adrien and leans her forehead on his forehead. She looks deeply into his eyes with love and passion. He returns her look, but with lust, and maybe a little bit of anger.
"Are you okay, Adrien? You seem a little….upset? Angry? Talk to me." Marinette backs off a little.
"I just…" Adrien started, pulling away. "...i just hate how Nathanael thinks you're all his and how he thinks you're HIS princess and, it just irritates the shit out of me." This was the first time Marinette's heard Adrien swear, surprisingly. She had to admit, it was kind of attractive when he got all protective over her.
And, of course, like any story, that moment was completely ruined by the bad guy. The Evillustrator.
"Marinette! I'm here to take you out on our date." A not-so-welcoming voice whaled from the opposite side of Marinettes bedroom window. Streak by streak, the window was gone, erased completely.
"We must go, my love." The Evillustrator took Marinettes hand, glanced over at Adrien with evil in his eyes, and took off with Mari out the window frame and into the distance. Adrien jumped off of his girlfriends bed and stared out into the sky through the empty gap in the wall where a window once was. Like a cat, a slight growl roared in Adriens chest, his face scrunched with disgust and anger.
"Pfft. HIS love? She's mine, pal. Don't worry Mari, it'll be over soon." Adrien quickly transformed into some black cat ears and a long black leather tail. He extended his staff and leaped out of the window frame, following the quickly fading stream of smoke. He eventually ended up where The Evillustrator was, with Marinette. A quaint little boat, romantic lights strung everywhere and calming music playing in the background. Chat Noir/Adrien was about 5 metres away from the oh-so-romantic scene, lurking and peeping through the nearby bushes. Observing, ready to pounce.
"Marinette I made sure I packed your favourite dessert, strawberry ice cream with a small hot chocolate cake. Here." He handed the warm/cold dessert to her, making Marinette slightly confused.
"How'd you know this was my favourite..?" She asked.
"Well, you'd be surprised about how much I know about you Marinette. I'm not a stalker, I just know where to search."
"Okkaayy. So, you like to draw huh?" Cutting to the chase, Marinette glanced down at Nathanaels wrist, eyeing up the pen.
With a light little thump, Chat jumped onto the boat behind the pair, and snuck behind a light pole, eavesdropping and waiting for the perfect time to butt into their little 'date'.
"Oh yes. I do like to draw. How about you, Marinette?"
"Yes I do, actually. Mind if I draw you something with your pen..?"
"Uh, yeah sure, I trust you." Nathanael said. Those words made Marinette feel slightly sad, and bad for him.
I trust you.
Was this really a good idea? Breaking an innocent boys heart? That is what she was about to do, anyway. The words keep floating in through her head.
I trust you.
I trust you.
I trust you.
No, this had to be done. He won't remember anything that happens after he transforms back into his normal self right? That's what happened for the rest of the victims anyway. They don't remember anything that happened in the last couple hours. She had to do this. For his own good.
She took the pen and looked Nathanael deep in his eyes. 'Sorry.' She pleaded with her eyes. Before yelling "Chat! Here!"
She throws the pen towards Chat, that appeared out from behind the light pole and caught the pen one handed, not fliinching.
"Why thank you, M'lady. What a cute gift." And as they planned, Adrien distracted Nathanael while Marinette hid behind something and transformed into Ladybug, so she could capture the akuma and save Paris, yet again.
"Hey Chat, fancy seeing you here." Marinette teased.
"Why hello, Princess. I have a gift for you." Chat replied.
He chucked her the pen, and The Evillustrator got angrier, yet he was powerless. Ladybug catches it easily, breaks it in half, and watches the purple/black butterfly flutter out. She swings her yo-yo around and catches the evil akuma. "Bye bye, little butterfly." She says, as she watches the now pure white butterfly flap its wings and fly into the sky.
"Pound it." The signature way of celebrating the superheroes success in saving Paris. They turn to look at The Evillustrator, who quickly transforms into a teenage boy with red hair, a.k.a Nathanael. Ladybug walks over to the victim, kneels down and puts her hand on his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" She asks.
"Y-yeah, thanks. But what am I doing here? And why does it look all romantic?"
After explaining what had happened, the two superheroes set off towards an empty alley, where they transform into their civilian selves and walk around the city, every-so-often looking at the sunset. Holding hands. They eventually stop off at the waters edge, and both stare at the beautiful scene.
"Have I ever told you that I love you, Marinette?"
"I believe you have a few times."
"Well just in case...I love you. Know that I won't let anything happen to you, and I won't let anyone take you away from me. You're my princess now, and I'd like to keep it that way."
"Awh you're so sweet...I love you too, Adrien. And nothing or no one will take my away from you, I promise you."
And with that, they walk back to Marinettes bakery, slip up into her room, and watch movies all night. Cuddling, kissing and laughing...until they eventually fall asleep.
