Author's note: Hi hi! Here's another chapter of poor Angsty...well everyone. I'm probably messed up, but I love a good angst comfort.

Tikki watched sadly as Marinette's breathing finally evened out, that frown stayed though. Giving one last glance to her owner she flew out the door towards the one person she could think to help.

Plagg was happily eating cheese watching his owner sleep. He felt himself smile happily. He truly did love Adrian, this was the happiest he had been in hundreds of years. Plus this time around he knew where Ladybug's Kwami lived as well. This was a rare occurrence. It was so rare to actually be able to find her. The choosing of his owners this round was brilliant since they knew each other. He remembered the day he saw her when both owners had decided to detransform to save themselves. He had almost not been able to contain his shock. She had to shush him. He had felt such relief that he thought he'd cry. She was the one thing-next to his current owner- he'd always love above cheese. So imagine his excitement when he sees the fiery red Kwami appear in his window.

He was still shoveling cheese in his mouth when she flew through. "Plagg? Plagg?" He heard her whisper into the dark room. He smirked, popping out from under the blanket on the bed.

"Hey there Sugarcube, miss me?" He teased his longtime friend. Though he always had wished she'd be more….not that he'd ever tell her that. He frowned when he waited for her to scold him for the name calling. The scolding never came. Meaning something was wrong with Tikki. "Tikki?"

He floated up to the red Kwami who was breathing quite heavily. Tiki had found once she got outside she couldn't take her time in getting to her partners. It was as though all of the panic of the last few days was finally hitting her. She had to get help and she wanted it quickly. She had not paused in her track across the town to get to Plagg. Plagg always made her feel better. She needed comfort, Marinette was making her nervous and she couldn't take it at that moment. She needed to be around someone who was always happy...even if it was a sarcastic form of happy.

"Plagg!" Tikki found herself wrapped in Plagg's comforting embrace. It felt as though she could finally breathe. Everything would be alright. Plagg always made everything alright.

Plagg was shocked to say the least! It had been years since Tiki had been the one to insinuate physical contact. It wasn't really her thing. Plagg had always been more of a hugger than Tiki. He knew something was wrong when she lunged at him, squeezing him tight against her. Plagg couldn't even be excited about the close contact because fear immediately overtook him.

Was she injured?

No no she had flown all the way here, she couldn't be hurt and do that.

Was there an akuma?

No she would be with Marinette if that was the case, already Ladybugging it up.

Was Marinette injured? Oh no no no Marinette couldn't be injured could she! Adrian would lose it! Marinette was the best Ladybug; they couldn't lose her!

Was Master Fu injured?

Plagg stay calm.

Plagg held her tight while panic started to consume him.

'Plagg stay calm, she needs you right now.'

"Tikki what's wrong?" His friend pulled away, eyes pooling with tears. That made Plagg's heart clench. He had hardly ever-save for a few touchy talks the two had in the past-seen Tikki cry. She was breathing too hard. She was hyperventilating. He held her firmly by the shoulders. "Tikki look at me. Breathe ok? Whatever is happening it will be okay. We're us after all. Nothing can stop us, especially not together. It's going to be alright." His words calmed the Kwami enough to at least speak, even if her breathing wasn't fully recovered.

"I-it's M-" The bubbles spilled out of her mouth, only causing her frustration. "It's my owner. S-she's not d-doing well." Her words garbled due to panicking. "S-s-something's wrong!" Plagg pulled her to him again, rubbing her back as she started to breathe at a normal rate again. Plagg's heartbeat was helping her as it thumped against her own chest. Showing her heart what to do as well.

"Shhh. Take your time. What's wrong with her?" It annoyed both Kwami's to a ridiculous amount at not being able to use their owners' names. Especially since both knew each other's owners anyway.

"Plagg things are so wrong right now. She's never usually l-like this. She's not happy anymore, hardly ever. I mean she laughed and smiled with...your owner, but that's it. It's the first time in at least a week. I-I just don't know what to do. I've always prided myself on studying humans well, but I don't understand this! I don't understand her! I don't understand anything! I'm so stupid! I can't help her!" Plagg squeezed her tighter to him. Rocking her against him in hopes it would calm her. He had never, not EVER seen his partner in crime like this. Tikki was normally almost as calm as he was. Adrian had panic moments every once in a while so he did what he could, but he didn't know THAT much.

"Hey hey none of that talk. I won't let you say those things about my favorite Kwami in the whole world. She is beautiful, amazing, strong, and incredibly incredibly intelligent, thank you very much." It got a small chuckle out of the red. They stayed like this for a few minutes before he deemed it ok to release her to instead holding her shoulders. Anchoring her to him if need be. "So what happened?" The ever so slightly peaceful look the Kwami had in her eyes was immediately toned with high regret and sadness.

"It's all just kind of been building up. She's not a sad person. She always bounces back. THis is what I told myself the first four days, but it hit five and she wasn't changing. She stopped laughing, stopped joking and then just stopped….well everything. She hardly speaks to me anymore. She's not mad at me, but anytime we talk we argue because I can't understand why she's doing this to herself-"

"Doing what?" She had lost him.

"She's…" Tikki really didn't want to say it. What had been said between her and Marinette were just words between them until she brought someone else in. Once she did that it couldn't be ignored anymore...was this wrong?

"TIkki…" He spoke gently. If this weren't such a bad time, Tikki would be in awe of how well Plagg has pulled himself together for this. How mature and kind and considerate he is being. How sweet and utterly affectionate. How she could see the care he had for her in his eyes. None of it occurred to her at that moment.

She looked up at him and he could see the hesitation there. He could see how much being here with this problem was hurting her. How much she had grown to care for that owner of hers, something that he too was guilty of. "She's hurting herself."

Plagg frowned at the words. "Hurting herself? What do you mean?" He had no clue why a human would do this to themselves.

"She's hardly eaten anything in the last four days and it's only because I guilted her. She's pulling away from everyone, she doesn't care about school anymore. I...I'm worried it's going to get worse. Today when she was with Chat Noir. She said something scary."

Plagg thought over the conversation when it dawned on him. He hadn't really been listening to much of what the two owners had said, but he did start paying attention when his owner's mood dropped and heart rate began to increase. He paid attention. 'I don't know if I'll always be here.'

"She said she didn't know if she'd always be here." Tikki nodded. "Tikki we don't know for sure what that means. Humans are survivors. I don't think humans, certainly not Ladybug of all people would throw her life away. She's worth too much." Tikki wanted to believe those words, but she did not think her owner's words should be taken so lightly.

"Plagg, what if that's not how she feels though? I asked her about it on the way home and she said she didn't matter. She said none of it mattered! What if she really does plan to end it? What if she plans to become careless in her fighting and die like that! Plagg, this is so bad."

The more she spoke the more worried Plagg became. He had met Ladybug and she didn't seem to be irrational, but then again it was never usually her personal life that was being affected. Maybe she was only sensical in other people's lives and not her own. "We just have to make sure that doesn't happen then." Tikki looked up a little surprised at the determination in his voice. His eyes were sharp and focussed.

"What do we do?"

"We keep an eye on her. If it gets worse I will let my owner know so we have a human on our side. If it keeps getting worse we might have to get Master involved." Tikki gasped

"What if he takes her Miraculous! Plagg I love her. I can't lose her! And she can't lose me! You, Chat, and me are all she has."

"Tikki if all else fails, Master will know what to do. She's one of the best. I don't think he'd ever take that away from her." Tiki smirked at his words.

"What do you mean one of the best? She is the best."

"Oh please Sugarcube. My owner could take her down in a fight anyday."

"Umm, hasn't she saved your owner's life many times?"

'Hey it's not his fault she's too happy to get akumatized. My owners had a rough go." The laughing got cut off thinking back to it. She wasn't happy anymore, and that just wouldn't do.
