Adrien's POV
Ladybug and I go our separate ways, leaving me alone with my thoughts while I look for signs of the akuma.
With all that's been happening, I'm really glad the akuma has safeguards in place to prevent any kind of nonconsensual interactions. With the type of akuma, it really could have gotten ugly and caused a lot of trauma and backlash, even more than they normally do.
Marinette said she was willing to tell me her identity if we have to have sex, and while I'm glad about that, I know this isn't the way she wants her first time, no matter what she says. Hell, this isn't how I want my first time. I love her with everything I have, but she deserves so much more than a fuck on a rooftop caused by an akuma. We both deserve more than that. Granted, after we do eventually fuck, I wouldn't be opposed to fucking if an akuma affected us, but for the first time, it needs to be special.
I also need to find out who the fuck Cat Blanc is. I refuse to have her tell me her identity without me knowing why she won't in the first place. I know that I already know, but she didn't tell me, and I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I won't know anything until she decides to let me in to her pain.
As I'm looking around, I hear the akuma and follow the sound to a nearby building. The akuma is on the balcony with his wife. I call Ladybug.
"Cat?" She's breathing heavily, and it is not helping the heat simmering in the background. We didn't completely get rid of the effects. They're still there, lurking, ready to boil over until we have no choice but to succumb to our desire for each other.
"I'm sending you my location. I found the akuma."
"On my way." She disconnects the call, and I'm glad she does because I'm not sure how much more I could take of her panting.
"Daniel—"
"It's Heater, Lisa. Not Daniel. Now, I'll give you one more chance to answer me before I use my powers to find out the truth because I don't understand. Why don't you want to have sex? Do you not desire me?"
"Of course, I desire you," she sighs in resignation.
"Then why won't you sleep with me?"
"I—why did you do this, Daniel? Why did you get akumatized?"
"Because you never answer me! You're dodging the question, again!"
"Dan—"
"No! It's time I find out how you truly feel."
"Heater!" Ladybug swoops in before he can blow a kiss at his wife.
"Ah, Ladybug. You're just in time. I'm about to find out if my wife still wants me."
"I never said I didn't want you!" She shouts from behind my lady.
"Well, it was certainly implied when you continually rejected my advances!"
"You can't force her to tell you, Heater. That isn't fair to her. Just like you won't allow anyone under your spell to do anything they don't want, you shouldn't allow yourself to force her to tell you if she doesn't want to," I say as I land, glancing at Ladybug.
"What about me, Cat Noir? I could see if she had said she couldn't tell me, or wasn't ready to talk about it, but she literally changes the topic and ignores my questions every single time. How is that fair to me?"
"Heater—" Ladybug tries, but she gets cut off.
"Ladybug, let me."
Lisa walks between Ladybug and I to stand face to face with her husband.
"Do it."
"What?" All three of us stare at her in confusion.
"Use your power on me. If that's what it takes for you to believe I still want you, do it."
Heater looks hesitant but does as she asks and blows her a kiss. The next thing we know, her lips are pressed to his, legs wrapped around his waist.
"Lisa," Heater grunts, squeezing her ass and pressing her further into him.
"Daniel," she moans as he presses kisses down her neck. Ladybug looks away awkwardly, not sure what to do. Lisa's hand comes up and undoes his blanket toga, which Ladybug quickly snags with her yoyo. Luckily, Daniel is still wearing boxers.
"Wait, Daniel. We-we can't." Lisa tries to fight the desire, stepping back from him. "I want you, but we can't do this."
"For fucks' sake, Lisa, why?!"
Ladybug rips the blanket before Lisa can respond, causing Daniel to return to normal. She quickly catches the akuma and purifies it, then she undoes the effects. There's a loud moan throughout the city as the adult population finds their release before it's suddenly quiet. No slapping skin, panting, or moaning, just silence as people try to take in what happened. Then, the city begins to breathe again, putting clothes on and returning to whatever they were doing prior to the orgy. For whatever reason, though, I still feel the burn under my skin.
"What happened?" Daniel asks, confused.
"You were akumatized because your wife wouldn't sleep with you," Ladybug explains awkwardly.
"Oh god… tell me I didn't force anyone to—"
"NO! No, you were a surprisingly lucid akuma. You had a lot of restrictions in place to keep everyone safe."
"Oh, thank god."
"Daniel?" Lisa cuts in, meekly.
"You must think I'm pathetic…" he mumbles with a wry smile.
"No, this is my fault. I let you think I didn't want you."
"Can I ask why you've been rejecting him? If you don't mind, of course," I cut in, curious to what could keep them apart when she clearly wants him. Even without the effects, I can smell her arousal. Though I can also smell something else…
"It's a little embarrassing to have the whole city know you've been avoiding sex, but maybe if I tell you, you can tell them why. Daniel, the truth is—" she takes a deep breath. "I think I might be pregnant. Miscarriages are common in my family, especially in the first trimester, and I didn't want to risk anything, even if I wasn't sure. I could have gotten you off, but that would have just made me want you more, or lead to more, or questions, and I wasn't ready to tell you. I'm so sorry, Daniel." Lisa breathes out a shaky sob.
"Y-you're pregnant?" He whispers.
"I don't know yet. I started having symptoms about two weeks ago. I was nauseous and dizzy. That was why I rejected you at first. Then certain smells were getting to me, and I wanted weird things. I thought maybe it was PMS, but then my period was late. It's only two days late, and I wanted to give it a little longer before I told you in case it showed up, and I was wrong. I didn't want to get our hopes up for nothing. I was going to take a test today, but then you got akumatized."
"Lisa, I'm so sorry. I was being selfish and not thinking about what you must have been going through." The couple embraces. "It will be okay, whether you're pregnant or not. We can try again if you aren't, and if you are, I'll find some other way to distract myself until you're in the clear."
"…this is going to sound weird, but can I feel you?" I say, awkwardly.
"What?"
"With my miraculous, I sometimes have access to feline senses. I want to see if your body temperature is higher than a normal human. There's something else, but I want to check the temperature first."
Ladybug looks curious, but also mildly jealous, which is kind of funny.
"Oh! Yeah, of course. If you don't mind."
I give the woman a hug and find she is slightly warmer. It's not something I would pick up if I wasn't transformed, though.
"I still recommend taking a test, even if it ends up being just for a memory, and then seeing a doctor, but I'm like…80% sure you're pregnant." Daniel and Lisa turn to each other with big smiles and embrace as I continue. "You smell pregnant, and you are warmer. If I wasn't transformed, I wouldn't be able to pick any of that up. I've never really noticed the smell of pregnancy until now…" I say in wonder before turning to Ladybug. "Hey, M'Lady, do you think I could detect where you are in your cycle if I tried? I know your scent changes, but I never really made any connection until now."
"AND ON THAT NOTE, we should be going." She is almost as red as her suit, and it's hilarious. "Congratulations, you guys. I'm sure you'll make great parents."
"Thank you, Ladybug, Cat Noir."
"Bug out!" She swings off.
"Definitely double check, but I hope I'm right. Good luck!" I vault away, chasing a wild ladybug. Neither of us used our abilities, so we still have time, and I need to ask her if she feels the heat growing, too.
I lose track of her and pause on a random roof to get my bearings when I'm tackled from the side.
"Woah! Ladybug?" I look up at the spotted beauty breathing heavily above me.
"I don't know why—" she cuts herself off to take a deep breath, "but I'm still feeling the heat, and it's only getting stronger."
"Oh good. It's not just me." I mutter, thrusting my hips to show her exactly how I feel. "…What do you want to do, Ladybug?" I take her hands and play with her fingers to distract myself from her unconscious grinding against me.
She takes another deep breath before she responds. "Well… I think we—" She's cut off by a portal opening behind her. Bunnyx steps out and makes a face of disgust.
"Babybug, Kitty Noir, that is not something I needed to see."
"Bunnyx? What's wrong?" Ladybug questions her urgently, having gotten off of me and pulled me up to stand behind her to hide my erection.
"Into the burrow, both of you. It will temporarily nullify the effects." We quickly go in, and I feel immediately less tense. I can see Ladybug relax from the corner of my eye as well.
"So, why are we here? We can't hide in the burrow forever," I state the obvious.
"First, I'm going to drop Ladybug with tomorrow's Marinette, then Cat with tomorrow's Adrien. You both need to talk to the other side of the square about what's about to happen between you two. Then, I'll pick you up, and we'll go from there." Ladybug nods as I swallow. Things are about to get very real.
Bunnyx drops off Ladybug and turns to me. "I know you know who she is."
"I don't know what you're talking about." I look away, feigning innocence.
"Cut the crap, Adrien. I'm going to drop you to your future self, so ask him whatever questions you need to be okay with this because like it or not, this akuma does affect you."
I hesitate but ask her a question my future self won't be able to answer. "Bunnyx… should I be concerned about Lila before the lawsuit begins?"
She looks at me with a sympathetic smile. "You know I can't answer that. But I will say that you have a few classmates who didn't believe Lila when she said what she did about Marinette, and they will believe you if you decide to talk to them. This isn't going to be an easy battle, and I can't tell you how it ends, but I do want you to know that you're not alone." She gives me a hug that feels like what I imagine an older sister would feel like.
"Thanks, Alix."
"Anytime, kid. Now, hop to it." She pushes me out of the burrow and into my room. It's dark, and I don't see myself anywhere.
"I've been expecting you," my voice calls ominously before my desk chair spins and I see myself with my legs crossed, a devious smile on my face, and Plagg sitting in my lap receiving head pats. He looks pretty pissed off. I just stare, wondering if I went crazy in the last day before my other self bursts out laughing.
"You should have seen your face! That was hilarious! Oh, I guess you will see your face…" He thinks about it.
Plagg flies out of his lap and glares at him. "Pay up. That was stupid." Adrien rolls his eyes and throws a whole wheel of camembert at him before turning to me.
"You can let the transformation go. Bunnyx won't be back until you're ready." I do as he says and sit on our bed.
"This is so exciting. I was literally you yesterday, and now I'm on the other side."
"Are we always this childish?"
"Yes!" both Plaggs call in response.
Adrien and I roll our eyes and shout back, "Go away! This is a private conversation!"
"This is so weird," I drag a hand down my face before sitting up and looking at him. "Be honest, you don't think she'd ask Bunnyx for a threesome or foursome, right?"
"I genuinely cannot answer that because that also implies that we would not do it ourselves. But also, I'm only a day in the future. I don't know that much more than you. I only know what happened last night for me, tonight for you."
"Right…" I hate to think the thought, but… "Should we… kiss? Like… in case she does ask for it?"
"Yes." He walks over to me. "If it helps, I was in your shoes yesterday, and I'm a great kisser. Honestly, I would do me. Not out of nowhere, but if she wanted me to, I would."
God, now I have to wonder about my own sanity. Is self-cest a thing? Can I be into myself?
"Stop that train of thought. It won't help." Right. He's me. He grabs my hand and pulls me up to face him. I blush, nervous and a little intimidated. "Relax. I've seen your dick. It's mine, remember?" That doesn't help. He puts his hand on my cheek and looks into my eyes before leaning in and pressing his lips to mine. My lips are surprisingly soft. He pries my lips apart and snakes his tongue into my mouth, grabbing my hair and tugging as I wrap my arms around him and squeeze his ass. He lets out a little moan as our tongues tangle, but he pulls away and takes a deep breath.
"You were right…" I squeak out in shock at the arousal filling me. Then I realize… "Wait, I haven't felt the heat while I've been here."
"That's because you felt the heat yesterday. Because I'm here, it cancels out by proximity." He holds up a hand. "No, I don't understand how it works. Just be glad it does, or we would be fucking ourself on the bed right now. Ask your questions. If I remember correctly, we won't be alone much longer."
I take a minute to decide what to ask.
"Does she know who we are?"
"Yes, she does."
"…is she happy?"
"Yes, she is," he smiles.
"Does she know we knew before?" He looks thoughtful.
"Yes, but I'll leave you to figure out how that happened."
"…is it good?"
"It's like everything we ever wanted and more. Fuck, she's perfect…"
I hesitate. "Just ask the question, Adrien. We don't have all night."
"…do we regret it?"
"FUCK NO! Look… I know that ideally, we would have built up to it ourselves, but there was never going to be a perfect time for us to do it. The fact is the affects didn't go away with the miraculous ladybug."
"Did we find out why?"
He looks up just before I hear one of the Plaggs call down, "That was a mutual decision between me and Tikki! I've had enough of this back and forth!"
"Wait, it was mutual?" I hear the other Plagg respond before they disappear back to whatever hole they crawled out of.
I shake my head in exasperation. "Well that explains that."
"They mean well."
"I know…"
"Look, does it suck that the akuma was the final push it took? Yeah, a little bit, but honestly, I'm thankful. It was the best thing that could happen to us, even if it wasn't what you originally planned. Plans change, Adrien. Things happen. That's life. Don't see it as something to be upset about. Be grateful because it brought us so much closer to her."
"You're right."
"Of course, I am. I'm you. Oh, and before you ask, yes, we can determine her place in her cycle by her smell. I asked Plagg." I laugh a little before I hear a tap on the window and look over to see Ladybug. She lets herself in and gives Adrien a kiss.
"Hey, Mari."
"Hey." She turns to me.
"Hey, you." She smirks a bit. "Thought you said the threesome couldn't happen?" I splutter as she bursts out laughing.
"Relax. I'd never ask you to do anything you didn't want to. And I want your first time to myself. I don't want to share you, even with you. Or me." She grabs other me possessively.
"I just have to ask… was it good for you?"
"Adrien…" She walks over to me. "It was everything I ever wanted and more." She places a kiss on my lips and my other self walks up behind her, wrapping her in his arms. I give him a questioning look, and he gives me a subtle shake of the head. No, we do not tell her that we made out. At least not right now.
"Now, Bunnyx already picked up younger me, so they're coming for you. Are you ready?"
"As I'll ever be." I call on my transformation and my Plagg comes swirling down into my ring.
"Oh, and Adrien? Before you go… I'm sorry about Cat Blanc." I don't get a chance to give her more than a questioning look in response because Bunnyx opens a burrow for me. "Good luck, Kitty!" She winks as I walk into the burrow, ready for the night ahead.
