Ch, 10. Rotten luck

The rain poured down in buckets outside as Felix and Bridgette watched the news cuddled under a blanket in Adrien's room as Adrien and Marinette were playing a rousing game of pretend behind them.

Felix checked over his shoulder. He gasped. "Adrien! That is not a toy! Put the down before you poke someone in the eye." He held out one of his hands. "Know what, hand it here."

"Sorry Felix." Adrien handed him the fencing sword he had plucked from his home gym.

"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to Marinette, you could have really hurt her. If you're gonna wave around a sword when I'm not teaching you; wave around a foam one or something." Felix eased his tone. "So nobody will get hurt."

"Ok." Adrien nodded. "Sorry Marinette." He looked back over at her.

"It's ok. No harm no foul." She gave him a big smile.

"And this rain will not be letting up anytime soon." The reporter announced.

Felix groaned at the TV as he set the sword on the coffee table in front of him. Bridgette rolled her eyes and rested her head on his chest as soon as he got comfortable again.

"It had to rain today." Felix groaned even more. "Couldn't have been yesterday when he had a play date with Chloe? Maybe then we could've had a rain check. But no… it had to be today." His sarcasm was blatant.

"Don't worry about it, they're still having fun." Bridgette nuzzled on his chest.

He sighed. "Ya whatever." He glanced over at the children whom switched to telling each other scary stories.

"Why don't we…" She began to suggest in a sultry manner.

"Adrien and Marinette are sitting right there!" He blushed profusely. "We could make out but, that's it." He knew what she wanted.

She shrugged and pulled his face to hers. "Works for me." She kissed him.

He rolled his eyes and kissed her back. He rubbed her back in rhythm to their lips. She moaned wanting more. So did he, but they were kinda being watched. He hadn't lost his wits entirely. But, with every motion he wanted her more. He couldn't take it much longer. He had two choices. Take her then and there and mentally scar the children. Or, break it off until they were alone.

He drew back and got to his feet.

"Everything ok?" She asked in confusion.

"Gotta pee." He gave her a sheepish smile.

"Hurry back." She gave him a wink.

Oh, he wanted her. But, he couldn't have her right now. He sighed and began walking to the bathroom.

A sharp pain went up his foot as he stepped down. He covered his mouth to stop the profanity that begged to be yelled. He looked down and lifted his foot.

"Felix? Are you ok?" Bridgette jolted up and ran to him.

"Lego." He managed to breath. "I stepped on a Lego."

She winced. "Ouch." She kissed him on the cheek. "I'm sorry."

He nodded at her to acknowledge her concern. He then hobbled on to the bathroom.

He closed the door and sat on the floor. He eased his breathing and stood back up. The funny thing was, he really did need to go. He sat down and relieved himself. He was definitely out of the mood now. As soon as he was done he flushed and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. As he was drying his clean hands he didn't notice the cabinet door under the sink fly open.

Felix doubled over in pain holding his crotch. He wanted to yell every swear word in the book.

"I'm sorry Felix! Marinette and I were playing hide in seek. I didn't know you were standing there!" Adrien cried.

"Accidents happen bud." Felix tried very hard no to cuss the child out. "Just get me some ice!"

Adrien nodded and ran out the bathroom.

Plagg phased through the door. "Geez, you finally get yourself a girlfriend and the first thing you go and do is damage the goods."

Felix shot him a dirty/angry look.

"Geez kid! Calm down. Just trying to help you feel better." Plagg drew back.

"How is that helping?" Felix hissed.

"Felix?!" Bridgette burst through the door. She knelt down next to him. "What happened? Are you ok?"

"Oh no, I'm fine." He spoke in a sarcastic tone. "I just love lying on the bathroom floor with shooting pain. Builds character." He gave her a blank look. "What do you think woman?"

"Well excuse me for being worried." She huffed.

"This is all your fault!" He almost yelled.

"How is this all my fault you stupid cat?" She yelled back.

"Well, that relationship didn't last the weekend." Plagg glanced over at Tikki who crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at him. "I had this cute ship name picked out too." He sighed.

"Stop being so irresistible!" Felix yelled again.

"I can't help it. You stop being so irresistible!" She yelled back again.

"Mother… HUM!" He slammed his fist down on the floor. "You made it worse!"

"And how did I make it worse?" She yelled.

"Stop making me want you woman!" He winced.

"I didn't know I was arousing you!" Her eye twitched.

Tikki looked back at Plagg with a condescending smirk. "Your OTP is not going anywhere." She giggle. Plagg smiled and chuckled a little as well.

"I got the ice!" Adrien came running back in. "I'm really sorry Felix." He handed the bag to the teen in pain. "You told me to be careful. And I didn't listen." He began to cry.

Felix put the bag on the injured area and rolled over so his back was on the floor. "It's ok bud." He spoke in a calm tone. "I'll be fine. Thanks for getting the ice."

Adrien continued to cry. "I'm really sorry."

Bridgette sighed. "It's ok. Why don't you go play?"

"But…" Adrien tried to argue.

"Go play bud." Felix waved him on.

"Ok." Adrien wiped his tears.

"And pick up your Legos if you're not playing with them." Felix added as he sat up.

"Ok." Adrien nodded and walked out the bathroom.

Bridgette shrugged. "Kids."

Felix sighed and smiled. "He really does need to pay more attention to his surroundings."

She giggled. "And you do?"

He gave her a wink. "I'm always vigilant love."

"Right." She rolled her eyes. "Sure you are."

He motioned for her to come closer with his pointer finger. She shrugged and was careful not to sit in his lap. He pulled her face to his and kissed her softly. She moaned.

He winced in pain. "Stop making me want you so badly."

"Sorry." She backed away. "I'm gonna go check on the kids." She stood up and walked out.

Hours passed and soon it was time for the girls to leave.

"Wait!" Adrien called out as he grabbed a box out of his closet. "I wanna give you something Marinette. To thank you for playing with me and being my friend." He smiled as he handed her the box.

She smiled wide and accepted the offering. "Thank you, but you didn't have too. I like playing with you. You're really nice."

He blushed. "I wanted to."

She shrugged and opened the box. Her eyes widened and she smiled wide as she took the bear out.

It was red with black spots here and there. It wore a black dress with red accents and black shoes. A black bow was on one ear and a tiny yo-yo was tied to her paw.

"I love her. Thank you!" She hugged the bear.

Bridgette picked up the box that Marinette dropped as soon as she saw the bear. She pulled out the little birth certificate that came with it and read the name the bear had been given. "Says here her name is Lady."

Felix leaned on the wall and gave a sly smile. "Adrien, why don't you show Marinette Noir?"

Adrien smiled wide and dashed to his bed. He soon returned with a black teddy bear in his arms. "This is Noir." He held up the bear to show. He had black fur and green eyes, cat ears instead of regular bear ears, a green t-shirt with a black paw print on it, black jeans, green shoes, a fabric staff was tied to his back and black gloves with fabric claws.

Marinette smiled and held up her bear. "Our bears match."

"Well Ladybug needs Cat Noir and Cat Noir needs Ladybug." He smiled. "You can't have one without the other."

"So true." She hugged her bear.

The children giggled. 'They're shipping us.' The teens thought in tandem.

"Thank you Adrien." Marinette gave him a small peck on the cheek before she rejoined Bridgette and waved goodbye. "See you next week."

Adrien blushed. "Ah ya… see ya." He waved back.

Felix stood up. "I'll walk you both out. This house can be kinda confusing." He walked out with the girls.

Plagg stayed behind and floated next to Adrien. "Little kitten you are too young to be thinking about girls." He gave the child a sly smile.

Adrien huffed and crossed his arms as he continued to blush. "She caught me off-guard. I wasn't expecting that."

Plagg chuckled. "Felix is right. You don't pay much attention to the world around you, do you kitten?"

Adrien sighed. "But how do I get better?"

Plagg shrugged. "Notice things."

"Like what?" Adrien was genuinely curious.

"Anything and everything kitten." Plagg put his little arms in the air. "Sights, sounds, smells… small details that often go overlooked." His stomach grumbled. "Like for starters the fact that I'm hungry."

Adrien rolled his eyes. "Felix put some cheese on the coffee table next to the saber."

"Getting better already kitten." Plagg smiled.

Felix walked back into the room. "Alright Plagg, time to go."

Adrien pouted. "Stay and train me some more."

Felix knelt down and looked him in the eyes. He muscled through a bit of pain that shot through him and smiled. "Bud the storm is getting worse and I have school tomorrow. You know if I could stay I would." He gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"Ok." Adrien pouted.

Felix stood up and walked over to the coffee table. He picked up the sword and Plagg flew under his vest. He turned back around and gave Adrien a salute. "I'll put this up before I leave."

"Alright. Later Felix." He waved goodbye.

"Later bud." He waved back.

The storm outside raged as Felix sat in his bed reading that night. A new bag of ice was resting on his wounded pride. Lightning flashed and thunder clapped not to long after. A chill went down his spine as he shuddered.

"You're almost 18 and still afraid of a little thunderstorm?" Plagg chuckled from his perch on the book self above the bed.

"Shut up Plagg." Felix buried his nose in his book.

He then heard on knock on the window. He smiled when he saw who it was. He stood up, walked over and let in his drenched girlfriend. "It's raining cats and dogs out there." He closed the window. "You should have stayed home." He looked back at her.

She de-transformed and became dry as a bone. "I'll be fine." She rolled her eyes.

"Hot chocolate?" Plagg offered Tikki a cup.

"Sure." Tikki shrugged.

Felix walked over to a warmer he had on his desk that had a pot of hot water on it. He then grabbed a mug off a self of mugs and a packet of hot chocolate mix. "I don't feel like going all the way to the kitchen, is this ok?" He showed the Kwami the packet.

"That's fine." Tikki smiled.

"I'll have a cup too." Bridgette smiled.

"Ok." Felix shrugged as he grabbed another mug and packet. He soon walked back over to the bed and placed one mug next to Tikki whom was sitting next to Plagg on the book self. He then handed the other mug to Bridgette as he sat back down on his bed. He grabbed his book as she nestled into his chest.

"How's your… you know?" She took a sip.

He shrugged. "Better, but still a tad sore." He chuckled a little. "And I thought the Lego hurt."

"Hum." She took another sip. "Hey Felix?"

"Umhum?" He flipped the page.

She showed him the Make-A-Bear receipt he dropped. "Where's this bear?" She pointed.

He smiled. "Look up."

She looked up at the book self behind her. The bear in question was sitting right next to Plagg and Tikki. She also noticed that Plagg had the self to himself. There was a tiny pet bed, a small table, a book about the history of cheese open on the section about Swiss, and a hand-held video game system that stayed plugged in. the only thing that seemed out of place was the teddy bear.

Felix chuckled a little. "I named him Bear Noir."

Bridgette smiled and rolled her eyes. "He looks a little out of place up there." She pointed out.

He shrugged. "When I'm not sitting down or sleeping on my bed; he's usually down here. But, Plagg kinda likes him up there when I'm reading."

"He fills out the shelf… it's kinda empty up here." Plagg added.

Bridgette giggled. "I noticed."

"Well, I don't know what else to give you. All you seem to care about is cheese." Felix gave him a black look.

Plagg shrugged. "And it seems all you care about is books and Bridgette."

Bridgette giggled again.

"Touché." Felix turned back to his book and pulled Bridgette closer to him.

The alarm blared as the morning sun rose. Felix groaned as he searched for the clock from under the sheets. Another hand beat him to the snooze button.

"Why do you have it set so early?" She glared at the clock.

"I have a hard time getting up in the morning." He sat up and yawned.

She groaned and laid back down pulling the covers over her head.

He followed her lead and did the same. Under the sheets he curled up next to her and cuddled with her from behind.

She blushed and smiled as they fell back asleep.

It was pure bliss for both of them… until the alarm went off again.

Felix shot up and smashed the clock with his fist. He blinked at it for a moment as it donned on him that he broke it… just a little bit. He groaned.

"That's the fifth clock this month." Plagg teased.

"Good morning to you too." Felix hissed.

"Well, I'm awake now." Bridgette rubbed her eyes and stretched. She yawned. "I should probably go home… I didn't bring my backpack or anything for school last night."

"You've got plenty of time." Felix pointed at the busted clock and joked a little.

She smiled and lightly pushed him as she giggled a little. She then stood up and grabbed her shoes. She looked back at him with a smile. "See you at school." she turned back around and headed toward the window. "Tikki, spots on."

One transformation later and she was gone.

He got up and watched her from his window. "Is it sad I hate seeing her go, but love watching her leave?"

Plagg floated over and raised an eyebrow. "Did you just quote Trace Adkins?"

Felix blushed. "Maybe."

Plagg crossed his arms. "Whatever."
