For whose's sake ?

"Miraculous Ladybug !" screams Ladybug.

Magical ladybugs flew everywhere in the sky of Paris, repairing the damages that have been done.

She turned to her trusted companion, her fist raised.

"Pound it !" they both say.

They gave each other a warm smile, happy to have defeated yet again a new Akuma.

Chat Noir extended his staff, leaning on it and took her hand in his, landing a kiss on it.

"Are you free tonight ? Because I'm feline-"

"Not again, Chat Noir. I already told you." Interrupted the spotted hero while taking back her hand. "You know I don't feel the same way you do."

The blond hero sighed and rose to his full height. "But won't you give us a chance ? Like they say, we never know until we try !" he whined.

"Chat Noir, how many times do we have to have this discussion ? I thought I was clear last time that there's already a boy in my heart, and it is NOT you." Growled Ladybug.

"But M'Lady ! I'm purr-fectly sure we are meant for each other. It has to be ! We are wielding the two most powerful Miraculouses to ever exist, so it has to be this way !" argued back Chat Noir.

He stepped towards his partner, engulfing her into a hug. She stiffed at the action, not knowing whether to return the embrace or just stay still. She couldn't decide as Chat Noir was beginning to slowly move down his hands dangerously close to her waist. She panicked.

"Stop ! I mean, I have to stop somewhere afterwards, so I'll better get going ! Bye Chat Noir !" she said in hurry while breaking off the hug. Fear radiating throughout her body.

The spotted hero stormed off as fast as she could using her yo-yo, leaving an unfathomable Black Cat.

His eyes hidden by his hair, he extended his staff, and jumped off the roof, entering the darkness of the night.

A shadow reverbed onto a glass coffin.

Laying in, was a ravishing beauty. Her fair skin matched her pink lips. Her silky golden hair beautifully framed her delicate face. Wearing a white tuxedo only made the bouquet of roses in her intertwined hands stand out more.

"My love… I miss you so much. We miss you so much." The shadow said. "I caused the fact that you are not to wake up ever again. It hurt our family deeply." Cries could be heard. "But I promise, I will take you back. I promise your eyes will open to see the light."

"Tikki ! I don't know what to do anymore !" cried out Marinette as she detransformed on her bed.

She plopped off on it, burying her head into her pillows. Her Kwami sat on it, at her eyes' level and stared at her holder with sad eyes.

"I already told him a hundred times ! What doesn't he get ?! Am I not making any sense when I talk ? Am I stuttering ?" ranted the brunette. "This is stressing me out. I don't want to hurt him but I can't return his advances ! Or should I ? For our teamwork ? For our bond ? For Paris sake ? Oh Tikki, what should I do… It was fine until a few months ago ! All he did was his stupidly funny jokes and flirt ! None of us took it seriously, so why now is he becoming serious about it…"

"Marinette…" softly said her Kwami.

She knew of Marinette's despair. She felt it. She felt how uneasy her bearer becomes around her partner.

"Sorry Tikki, it must be boring to hear me complain. I am probably just tired. I'll go to sleep now. I left some cookies under the green hat for you. Have it and get some rest. Good night Tikki, I love you." Mumbles the thin girl as she stripped her clothes to put on her pajamas. She undid her hair, switched off the light and went to bed, all while Tikki looked at her with nothing but sorrow in her big eyes.

"Good night Marinette. I hope tomorrow brings us a better day."

Tikki slowly flew over to the cookies to recharge herself. Her heart was heavy. It hurt to see her wielder feeling like this.

Although Tikki wasn't physically present when it happened, she witnessed it all by Marinette's transformation.

She saw how Ladybug was, first, touched by her partner's love, even though she told him she didn't love him. Then when it became a habit of his to express his (unconditional) love, even during fights, it annoyed the spotted hero but she was still grateful to feel loved and hear it.

She felt her distress when Chat Noir wouldn't back off even when she told him no and clarified she did not love him like he did. At first, he didn't go as far as not letting go of her hands, or touching her hair but after some time, he began to want to kiss her more, to embrace her for longer than a friendly hug.

She sensed how she was started to feel very uneasy, and tried to get away as fast and soon as she could from her partner. It hurt her but she couldn't deny the feeling that started to grow inside her. She couldn't ignore it.

Tikki watched it and felt it all.

She knew what Chat Noir was doing was wrong. It hurt her to see Marinette hesitate between putting up a fight against Chat Noir or giving in to his love for the sake of Paris and to keep the bond between Creation and Destruction unharmed. It hurt her to see Marinette lose her trust in the very person she thought would never go against her. The one person she could share her problems of her super hero persona with. It hurt Tikki and knew she had to soon take actions, before it's too late. Before Marinette - Ladybug – gives in to her duties and starts forgetting herself.

Plagg always acted a bit recklessly, was a tad sassy but he always cared deeply about his wearers, even though he rarely showed it. Being the Kwami of Destruction, his dangerous power was something to look out for, especially when he used his Cataclysm without holder. But as surprising as it may seem, along with this great power, Plagg had a lot of love and care to give. The depth of his affection was to match the extreme force of his power. He cared deeply, endlessly for each wearer he had. Even though the bond he had with each of them was short and always to be cut too soon, he was always willing to go through this pain over and over again. Like his Kwami friend Tikki. Being the Kwami of Creation, she had no limits but her imagination to what she could create, so in addition of her limitless power, her love was infinite. She cared and loved all of her holders, unconditionally. Her grief and sorrow was as big as her love but it didn't stop her to love again and again. She and him were the only Kwami to have such deep bonds with their wielders, maybe because they were the Kwamis of Creation and Destruction, the most powerful ones.

So when he witnessed through Chat Noir's transformation how he harassed Ladybug, Plagg was beyond furious. He couldn't bare to see the bearer of his fellow Kwami being pushed back into a corner. He always had a soft spot for his Sugar Cube holder. Especially this one Tikki had, he found her very amusing, surprising and upbeat. He always found it interesting how shy and clumsy she was in her civilian life, especially around Adrien and how she became so strong and confident when putting on her Ladybug suit.

When he noticed that Ladybug was becoming uncomfortable around Chat Noir, he said nothing at first, when Adrien detransformed, thinking it was just a one time thing. But when he saw it happen a second and a third time and the blond didn't seem to feel bad afterwards, he decided to speak to his holder, wanting to know why he was acting like this.

"Adrien, hm, tell me, why are you acting like this towards Ladybug ?"

The blond turned his emerald eyes from his phone screen, gazing into his Kwami's.

"What do you mean, like this ?"

"Well, you know, Plagg hestitates, as he is choosing his words carefully, like this like this." Plagg gestures hand holding with his paws.

"Like this what ?" Adrien tone hardened as he was starting to get annoyed.

Plagg sighed and flew over his bearer's pillow, sitting down.

"Like… harassing Ladybug."

Adrien suddenly sat up, an angry frown coming to his face.

"What are you implying ?! Why would I ever harass Ladybug ? She's the one I love !"

"Didn't you notice how uneasy is she ? Didn't you notice how she always cut short the discussion, even when she still has time ?"

"Nonsense ! She must have valid reasons she can't stay with me afterwards. I know she is very busy in her civilian life, she told me. What you're saying is complete bullshit !" sharply said Adrien while he headed towards the bathroom, meaning it was the end of their exchange.

As he was leaving, Plagg stared sadly at his back, while sighing. "And didn't you notice the fear in her eyes ?"

Hey, it's my first time writing in English and publishing it. I'm a bit nervous since it's not my native language.

Let me know if you see errors such as grammar or spelling errors.

I'll try my best to update regularly. (I'm really not the best at it.)

My fanfiction is, I think, spoiler free of season 4.
If not, I will put a warning before hand.

I'm open for suggestions if you have a better title.

I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS NOR THE SHOW « Miraculous : Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir ». It is for entertainment only.

Stay safe.

Bugs out ! 🐞
