Chat landed on the balcony of Marinette's house. Knocking slightly on the window he waited for her to open the window. Several minutes pass and no one comes. Opening the window, Chat stalks in the room and spots Marinette asleep on her chair. Smiling, he walks over to her and brushes a stray piece of hair out of her face.
He takes a piece of paper and a pen and writes a note for her to find in the morning. He left and closed the window behind him and went back to his house. As soon as he got in his room he de-transformed and sat on his couch.
"Plagg, what am I going to do?" Adrian asked his kwami
"Eat cheese, it makes life so much better."
Plagg chirped back while stuffing his face full of cheese.
"Plagg. You know what I mean!" Adrian whines, throwing himself over the top of the couch.
Plagg sighs and stops eating, "Look kid, Marinette is your friend, right? If she is then talk it over with her if you like her. If you don't like her, don't tell her and just continue to be her friend. That's all the advice I have for you." Plagg goes back to eat his cheese while Adrian ponders what he said.
Does he like Marinette? Does he still love LadyBug like that? What would happen if he told Marinette he likes her and she doesn't like him back?
He decided he would get to know her more through his alter ego and through Adrian to build up more trust.
Adrien lays in bed thinking about Marinette and how she will react when he finally decides to tell her he likes her.
Next morning:
Adrien woke up before his alarm. He got dressed in a white T- shirt, with a black leather jacket, black leather pants with chains hanging on his waist.
Sitting at the dining table he ate his breakfast with a smile. As he got to school he couldn't contain how happy he was to see the girl who finally caught his attention.
Marinette woke up sore from sleeping in her chair. Going to the bathroom she gets a shower and blow dries her hair, leaving it down in ringlets down her back after she curls it. Putting on some makeup she gets dressed in a purple lace off shoulder top with some black leather pants and heeled black leather boots.
Marinette packed her book bag when she saw something sticking out from under the history text book she forgot to give back to Alya. Wondering what it was she grabbed it and then chuckled.
He couldn't be any less conspicuous?
Dear Marinette,
I hope you have a paw-tastic morning. I came by last night to see you, but you were asleep. Hope you don't mind.
He finished it off with a cat print shaped signature. As she finished reading it she smiled and blushed. As much as she should be mad he snuck in, she couldn't help but be flattered he left a note to tell her instead of keeping it a secret that he came to her home in the middle of the night.
Getting the rest of her stuff together, she went down stairs to the bakery and grabbed a few blueberry bagels. Heading to school she was beaming with happiness. An afternoon and nights worth of sleep made her more energetic and lively like she used to be before these last two weeks.
Walking into school she could practically feel the happiness pouring off of someone. Looking around she was shocked to see it was none other than Adrian Agreste.
Walking over to him, she blushed and chuckled slightly. Adrian was blushing and laughing nervously.
"Hey Adrian!" She waved and acted like she didn't notice his nervousness. Adrian said hello and good morning, still happy even though she didn't know why.
They walked to class talking about the homework from the night before. Sitting down Adrian turns to her and asks if she would sit next to him. Agreeing, she and Nino, Adrian's best friend and Alya's boyfriend, switched seats.
Just like clock work as soon as she got comfortable, Chloé walked in with her pawn.
"Ug," she sneered at her, then looked at Adrian pointing to Marinette, "Why is Mari-trash sitting next to you?" She glared at Marinette and tried to push her out of the seat.
Adrian grabbed her arm,looking furious.
"She is sitting next to me because I asked her to Chloé, she is one of my best friends. If you have a problem then you'll have to get over it." Adrian let go of her arm and asked if Marinette was okay. She nodded and smiled.
Chloé, not liking it, stalked to her seat.
HawkMoths layer:
"Ah the effects of the love of just one person who doesn't love you back."
'makes an akuma'
"Go little akuma and akumatize her."
Back at the school:
The akuma makes its way towards Chloe and akumatizes her through her headband.
"Hello, Heart Rate, my name is HawkMoth. Don't you want revenge on those who don't love you back? Use this power and gain control of those who can't return your feelings. Bring me LadyBug and Chat Noirs, miraculous as payment for this power to overthrow Paris."
"Yes, HawkMoth." Chloé turns into Heart Rate. Her pants a gold color and heart shaped shirt with tubs in the back with a yellowish colored liquid in one and red in the other.
The class screams and tries to run out. Heart Rate starts spraying the gold liquid that lets out a toxic gas to make you sleep.
Marinette gets out just in the nick of time. She runs to the bathroom, running into a stall.
"Tikki, Chloé is at it again," Tikki nods, "Tikki, spots on" Marinette changes into LadyBug and runs out of the bathroom. Chat Noir is nowhere to be found.
I might be fighting alone for a little bit. Where could he be?
LadyBug couldn't think of it for long because Heart Rate started spraying her red liquid causing everyone who gets sprayed ready to attack LadyBug.
"You have got to be kidding me." LadyBug matters and then starts running in the opposite direction.
"I need a pl…" LadyBug gets cut off from a hand over her mouth.
"Shh, they can't find us. If they touch you, you turn mindless like them." Chat whispered. He had caught a glimpse of her and followed her pulling her into a dark alley.
LadyBug nodded and crouched down, making herself more camouflage than before.
Chat not needing to wait behind her as she made a plan in her head.
"Okay, here's the plan…"
Chat is stationed above the place where Heart Rate is. Waiting for LadyBug to give the signal.
Staying clear of the gas was difficult. Getting around her pawn was difficult. Finally after about twenty minutes she made it to where she is now, stalking behind Heart Rate trying not to get caught.
The difficulty was getting to where the item that was made akumatized is. LadyBug giving the signal to Chat was also going to be a difficult task. Where she was currently was hidden from both up top but on both sides as well.
LadyBug grabbed Heart Rate, wrapped her leg with her yoyo and threw it hoping Chat would catch it.
Chat, who was waiting for the signal, noticed Heart Rate hanging upside down and the red polka dot yoyo heading his way. Grabbing the yoyo he pulled it up and wrapped it around the pole on top of the roof he was on. LadyBug calls upon her lucky charm even though she doesn't need it.
LadyBug grabs the headband and snaps it in half. The akuma flies out trying to get away.
"No more evil doing for you little akuma." She throws her yoyo up and catches the akuma, purifying it.
"Bye Bye little butterfly." Throwing the lucky charm up she fixes the mess Heart Rate made.
"Pound it!" Her and Chat Noir fist bump and help Chloé down.
"Gotta go Kitty." Her earrings beeped, she flew from rooftop to rooftop till she got to her school. She ran to the bathroom and transformed back into Marinette.
Let's get the rest of the day over with
