For a year I have read a few fanfics containing Lila framing or bullying Marinette but there was never a fanfic of Adrien feeling harassed by her. I don't make bad characters bully innocents because its not my style and I really hate bullies. So instead of doing similar stories like that, I just have both Adrien and Marinette run away so that they don't have to be forced to live in a hellish life where Lila gets away with everything.
Characters belong to (c) Zagtoon.
Days turn into weeks when Lila framed Marinette for being a bully and made her friends turn against her, Marinette tried so hard to get her friends to check their facts but they were too easily fooled and nobody, not even her best friend Alya believed her.
Same time when Adrien did not wanna model or do commercial ads with Lila but his father refused and that he claims that Lila is a perfect choice. Adrien couldn't believe that his father would choose someone that is a pathological liar and is hurting an innocent classmate.
A month went by and now these two teens can no longer live this life with a liar going around, they decide to run away and be forced to live in an abandoned place on the streets, even if it means no adult supervision, no education, and no friends. Just only each other.
Adrien should've listened to Marinette that they should've exposed Lila but now everyone is easily fooled, especially the teachers too. Nobody checks their facts.
Marinette hears her parents discussing about transferring their daughter to a better school but Marinette did not want that. She couldn't bear to leave the love of her life behind. So, she plans to run away and find an abandoned place to live while still being the guardian of the Miracle box. She transformed into Ladybug and took the cantilever sewing box containing the Miracle Box inside it.
Adrien had an argument with his father and he did not like it. 'I choose what's best for you', that's what his father said. Lila is a bad influence because she doesn't have a way of showing real love or care to him. All she does is constantly touching him in harassment in modeling and Adrien had enough. He transformed into Cat Noir and packed everything he needs to survive on his own in the streets.
Night came around and two teens accidentally came into an abandoned warehouse building with windows that have no cracks but it was stained. Cat Noir used a flashlight from his baton and saw Ladybug with the cantilever sewing box in her hands. Ladybug saw him too and he had a bag similar to Adrien's.
"Ladybug?" Cat Noir said.
"Cat Noir?" Ladybug said.
"What are you doing here and why do you have Marinette's sewing box?" Cat Noir asked.
"I…..uh…..what are you doing with Adrien's bag?" Ladybug asked.
Two teens were in their thoughts and it took them a minute to finally realize something.
"You're Marinette?!"
"You're Adrien?!"
They all asked at the same time.
"Only one way to find out. Tikki spots off!" Ladybug turned back to Marinette.
"Plagg claws in" Cat Noir became Adrien.
"Unbelievable, you were him the whole time?!" Marinette was beyond shocked.
"And you were my lady the whole time?!" Adrien can't believe that his lady was his classmate the entire time.
"I can't believe I rejected you as Ladybug" Marinette clings to him.
"I could say the same that I flirted with my classmate" Adrien held her close.
"Why did you come here?"
"I just had it with Lila turning everyone against me in school so I decided to run away. I never thought my best friend Alya would fall for her lies again!" Marinette started to cry.
Adrien held her close, "I had it with her too. I don't know how she convinced my father to model with me but my father is blind that he had to choose her without a second thought"
"I don't know what to do. She ruined everything" Marinette cried on his chest.
"Mari, we are not going back. It's not good for us but we got each other" Adrien sighed and held her close, not wanting to let go.
"Yeah. And I'm sorry for all the times I rejected you as Ladybug" Marinette whimpered.
"Why didn't you tell me straight away?" Adrien asked.
"I was afraid you wouldn't like who I was behind the mask" Marinette said.
"My princess, I like both of your sides. Do you know how many times I always enjoy your kindness?" Adrien said.
"A lot. Now that we are gonna live here. We may need a new style so nobody recognizes us" Marinette said.
"Yeah, Cat Noir and Ladybug can still save the day but you and I are fugitives because we are missing. I bet our friends don't even care." Adrien said, found a broom to sweep the dust.
"Yeah, they can suit themselves" Marinette began cleaning.
"Puh-lease! You two took so long to finally figure out each other" Plagg complained.
"Was it because it's obvious by the pigtails?" Adrien replied.
"No, but that it took forever to point out the similarities," Plagg said.
"We were both oblivious Plagg" Adrien replied.
Marinette was now moving some boxes in the warehouse to make a place for beds. Living in an abandoned warehouse is a struggle but better to get away from that liar.
"Phew, those boxes are heavy" Marinette wipes her forehead.
"Let me help you" Adrien pushed the large box aside.
"Thank you, Adrien" Marinette thanked him.
"No problem. If Paris is looking for us, we hide as superheroes" Adrien said.
"Good idea, Kitty" Marinette used his hero pet name.
"You're welcome, Bugaboo" Adrien used her pet name.
After cleaning the warehouse since this is gonna be their new home, they will have to find furniture too but stealing like a criminal can ruin their reputation.
"So any ideas, Adrien?" Marinette wondered.
"We could use some furniture from the second-hand stores but I hate to say it we have to steal to survive," Adrien said.
"You mean we have to steal as Ladybug and Cat Noir?" Marinette guessed.
"Mostly yes. Unless we have better-altered disguises" Adrien said.
"And hairstyles" Marinette let her hair flow free.
"Yeah" Adrien nodded.

2 years went by and Paris is now confused as to why the superheroes are criminals and heroes at the same time. The police couldn't arrest them because Ladybug is the only one to purify the Akuma. Most of their former friends were concerned about the turn of events. At the same time, many think Marinette and Adrien have died. Nobody knows what happened to them but the parents of Marinette and the father of Adrien have declared they ran away. As for the two, they have changed their attires completely to not be recognized. Especially wigs too so they also don't get recognized. They made a new home in the abandoned warehouse, especially with a bit of electricity too for electrical appliances.
"Well, I got to hand it to you, Adrien, we completely made this building comfortable" Marinette sat on the couch.
"Yup. And also made a friend too" Adrien brought the stray cat on the couch.
"Awww cute. What's her name?" Marinette asked.
"Ladynoir. She's got your blue eyes, my princess" Adrien chuckled.
"Purrfect" Marinette pets Ladynoir.
"Hey, that's my cat puns," Adrien said.
"There aren't many bug puns," Marinette said.
"Meow, milady is growing claws" Adrien flirted and petted Ladynoir.
"Yup. Today there appears to be no akuma in sight" Marinette turns the TV on.
"So far so good" Adrien scoots next to her.
"But he's still out there. He's not defeated yet in 3 years" Marinette said.
"It's like he's playing with us," Adrien said.
"And waiting for us to strike at any time" Marinette rest her head on his chest.
"He's a coward, milady. No matter how many times he changes his name, he's never gonna win" Adrien said.
"I know, Adrien" Marinette replied.
"But we got a bigger problem. Lila Rossi. She's been akumatized 5 times last month and yet our friends don't see she's an ally to Shadow Moth" Adrien said.
"She deliberately let herself be akumatized. But we will stop her once and for all with Shadow Moth. No one should manipulate anyone into being their puppets" Marinette said.
"Your friends have known you longer than her. I don't understand they would trust that liar over you. Especially my father trusting her over me. He's an adult and should know the difference between truth and lie" Adrien said and gave Camembert to his kwami.
"I on the other paw, I took care of you like my cute little kitten," Plagg said.
"And I've been at your side the whole time," Tikki said to Marinette.
"Thank you, Tikki. Here's a cookie for you" Marinette hands over a cookie to her kwami.
"Thank you" Tikki munches on the cookie.
"It's almost nighttime. Night club again?" Adrien asked and went to the kitchen area to feed his cat some cat food kibble.
"Sure Kitty" Marinette agreed.
"Plagg, claws out" Adrien transformed into Cat Noir, "Tonight I'm feeling very wild"
"Tikki, Spots on!" Marinette transformed into Ladybug, "It's time to party hard!"

Later on, the two heroes arrived at the nightclub. Once inside, they saw many people dancing to the music or some having drinks at the bar.
"This is the paw-some moment tonight, milady" Cat Noir smirks as he walks towards the dancefloor.
He eyes on the dance pole and leaps up to it and clings onto it and slowly glides down it with one knee holding the pole and the other leg straight out before standing up and bending back to spin upside-down slowly. Ladybug watched her boyfriend pole dance and couldn't help but blush when he unzips the suit to reveal his bare chest and abs.
Ladybug swoons at those amazing built abs from her kitty, "So perfect" She said with love.
Cat Noir twirls on the pole and blows a kiss to Ladybug. He then comes down from the stage and sits next to her, "Meow, that was puuuuurrrrrfectly wild"
"You're such a hot guy, Cat Noir. I'm so lucky I finally fell for your charms" Ladybug scratched his chin.
He purred in happiness with his eyes closed that he loves to get his chin scratched, just like a cat, "Mmmmmm thanks Milady" Cat Noir said.
"No problem, Kitty," Ladybug said.
