AN: Hi everyone! This is a watching and react on the story "Plagg - The definition of sweet and innocent" Made by Marichat4ever who granted me permission to use this story enjoy part 1
After watching what was probably the most intense trailer of their lives, not only did Fate reveal Lila's true nature who was still inside the bubble, but also revealing that Marinette the kindest and most loving person in their lives can possibly be the most powerful Akuma in Hawkmoth's arsenal, fortunately with Fate's intervention that possibility has become slim to none, thankfully.
However when they finished they noticed that Marinette was still asleep.
"Hey Fate why is Marinette still asleep? I thought you would've woken her up by now? We finished what you warned us about." Max said, still confused why their class President is still unconscious, Adrien nodded in agreement. Fate only chuckled in reply to them and even though his face is concealed Adrien can't help but feel like Fate is giving him a sly look.
"That is because I have another universe to show you all before waking her up, and trust me when I say this that this is a universe that will change Marinette's life forever if she were able to witness this, also that reminds me." Fate said before snapping his fingers and they all heard a soft thud. They turned to look that Plagg was now fast asleep on the arm rest of the sofa beside Marinette.
"Plagg must be asleep for us to watch this universe. However I will do something for Alya later." Fate finished noticing the curious look on the reporter's face wondering what Fate will do later. With a shrug everybody gathered some snacks and went back to their respective seats as Fate played the video of the universe that will change Adrien's life forever.
How did this even happen? Where was Tikki? Whose bag was this? Why did it stink of Camembert? And finally – Why in the world was there a tiny black cat staring at her?!
Adrien blinked once, then twice, then finally looked at the two sleeping people in the room. Adrien then looked at Fate with a blank look.
"Please tell me this isn't another 'What if Universe'…" Adrien said with a pleading look at Fate, only for him to let out a laugh much to Adrien's distress, missing the interested look on Alya's face.
"Yes Adrien… This is another 'What if Universe' and this time it will spell doom for you later… Although I will have to warn you all about this universe later." Fate finished as he resumed the video.
Plagg stare up at Marinette, and silently cursed at his chosen for making the mistake of grabbing the wrong bag. When he got back to Adrien, he was going to shove a wheel of Camembert down his throat! Nah, he'd just use soap. No need to go wasting his precious Camembert on a half-wit like Adrien, am I right?
Adrien's eyebrow twitched at Plagg's remark while the rest just laughed at the Kwami's antics.
Marinette picked Plagg up into her hands, and looked him all over. He had the same size and body shape as Tikki, was black with green eyes, and was a cat… Chat Noir. Marinette sighed.
"Let me guess, you must be Chat Noir's kwami, am I right?"
Everyone in the room awaited with bated breath as they thought that this was a reveal kind of universe and that Marinette would be the first one to know who her partner is.
He should have just said yes. He should have told her how to get back to Chat Noir. He should have told her that Adrien probably had Tikki. But that's the thing… those are what he should have done. Instead, he did this.
"Meow~"
Cue anime face fault to everyone in the room. They couldn't believe that the kwami just did that.
Marinette blinked a few times in surprise before looking the utmost confused
"What? 'Meow'? Are you not, his kwami?"
"Meow." Plagg closed his eyes and purred into Marinette hand, hoping his plan would work, and that Marinette was just as dense as his own chosen. Lucky for him; she was. Marinette pet him gently on the head affectionately.
"Aww~ you're just a baby kity! I could've sworn though… Oh well! I'm sure I just probably forgot Tikki at home. I woke up late this morning, so she probably was still asleep when I left."
Cue another anime face fault, but this time only Adrien and the rest of the males including Tikki, the females however only 'Awwwed' at the sight. While Plagg is an annoying little guy and does smell like Camembert, It is irrefutable that he is an adorable little creature that can melt their hearts with that cute face he made on that Marinette.
Marinette picked up her (Adrien's) gym bag, and set Plagg down into her purse. She handed him a cheese Danish.
"I think you can eat this. The bag did smell an awful lot like Camembert, so I suppose you've tried cheese, yes? This was for Tikki, but since she's back at home, you can have it."
Plagg took the cheese Danish, and nibbled the edge, before cooing like he had fallen into eternal bliss. It wasn't Camembert, but it was also nothing short of delicious. Marinette closed her purse, and walked home, but Plagg barely noticed the situation. All he knew was that he was safe with this girl, Tikki was safe with Adrien, and he needed to finish the Danish quickly, so that Marinette understood to give him more. Adrien had Tikki, which meant that there was nothing to worry about. Chances were, that Tikki would tell who Ladybug was, and they would swap kwamis before dinner tomorrow.
"Well, Plagg's not wrong about that. We're not allowed to tell our holders who their partners are but it doesn't mean that we can't tell their partners." Tikki said as she shook her head at Plagg's little loophole about secret identities.
Well, Plagg was right. Tikki did tell Adrien who Ladybug was, and his reaction was nothing short of hilarious. Adrien sat on his bed cross legged, staring down at Tikki like she had grown another head.
Now everyone in the class including Miss Bustier were laughing hard at Adrien's expression, it was hilarious. While said blonde just pouted and crossed his arms. 'It's not my fault I look like that, that's a normal reaction when you find out that the love of your life is just sitting right behind you in class,' Adrien finished the thought as he kept watching, ignoring the still laughing audience.
"Marinette?"
"Yes."
"Like – sits behind me in class Marinette?"
"Yes"
"You mean – the girl I set up on a date with my best friend, Marinette?"
"Yes."
"Ladybug's – the one who's hated my guts ever since we met, Marinette?"
"Ye- Wait, what?"
If it were possible everyone just laughed harder at the sheer denseness of the young model, how someone can be that dense is a mystery all on its own. The blonde just kept pouting.
Adrien groaned and fell back, "No wonder she doesn't like me as Chat Noir; because she already hates me as a civilian!"
Tikki just blinked for a minute, in complete and utter shock. Was he THAT dense?! Answer: Yes."
"Yes, yes he is." The whole class said in unison while giving the dense blonde knowing smirks. Adrien only stuck his tongue out childishly and resumed his pouty demeanor. Again it's not his fault that he read all of Marinette's signals the wrong way.
Tikki floated up above Adrien's face, and gave him a look of pity. "Oh you poor little cinnamon roll…"
"Yes… There, there, don't you worry uncle Nino is here for you." Nino mocked as he patted Adrien's head like doing with a toddler. Adrien just swatted the hand away and just sat there waiting for it all to end and maybe scrape up whatever dignity he had left.
Adrien stared at her confused, "What?"
Tikki smiled, "Do you seriously think, for one second, that Marinette actually hates you?"
"Umm… yeah? I mean- she's always so nervous around me, and she's constantly trying to get away whenever I'm around."
Tikki tried to be nice, but she couldn't help but burst into laughter at this.
The rest weren't really trying to be nice, they just laughed to their hearts content.
"Are you kidding? She's constantly trying to be near you! Heck – all the girls in your class had almost akumatized your Gorilla guard that one time because they were trying so hard to get you guys to spend time together!"
Adrien jolted up, looking at Tikki with wide eyes. "B-b-but, she's always stuttering and getting nervous whenever I'm around. She doesn't act like that around me as Chat Noir!"
"Yeah, because she's too busy crushing on you as Adrien Agreste~"
Adrien looked down thoughtfully, "Oh…"
A few seconds of silence passed, before Adrien's mind finally registered what Tikki had just said. He looked at her in utter shock, with his face as red as her.
"WAIT- WHAT?!"
Another thunderous echo of laughter filled Fate's domain. They are enjoying this way too much! The sheer denseness of the blonde model was enough to make even Fate laugh incredibly hard, hard enough to shake the entire room. Adrien wished his seat would just swallow him whole and end his misery once and for all, was he really that dense? And if it was then it was technically his fault that he and his Lady have not gotten together since the beginning of it all.
The next day came fairly quickly, as Adrien entered the school, preparing for whatever reaction his Lady may have. What he didn't expect, was what was going to go down when he saw her. Him and Tikki both knew at least something wouldn't go according to plan, but they were not prepared for this…
As they entered the classroom, Adrien noticed all the girls in class, even Chloe and Sabrina, were all surrounding Marinette's desk. He sighed and took his seat. Looks like his princess was going to be busy for now, so he would just have to wait until the girls leave. He looked to Nino, and was surprised to see him sitting there with a deep frown, listening to his music on a high volume. Adrien tapped his shoulder, causing the DJ to pause his music and turn to him.
"What's wrong? You look like a cat who lost a fat canary."
The laughter turned into groans at the model's puns, said blonde only smirked in victory even a small one at least it stopped them from laughing at him.
Nino shuddered, "Please, don't mention cats to me for the rest of the day, the girls are already making it hard for me…"
"What do you mean?"
Nino pointed back to Marinette, "Listen for yourself. The girls won't freakin shut up about him."
Adrien and TIkki looked past all the girls towards Marinette, and they could not believe what they saw. Plagg was rolling around on his back, on top of Marinette's desk. He opened his eyes, so that they met with Adrien's and Tikki's. He smiled almost evily and winked at them.
Adrien and Tikki suddenly felt the urge to strangle their Plagg so that they can feel some form of revenge for their other selves.
"Meow~"
"Oh you have GOT to be kidding me…' Tikki and Adrien both thought.
Plagg sat up and walked over to Marinette, on four paws, and nuzzled against her, giving off a light purr. She squealed and picked him up, pulling him up to her face
All the girls also squealed at the cuteness of the little guy. Much to Adrien's and the rest of guys' annoyance.
"Oh Plagg! You are just the most adorable kitten in the entire world!"
'Ouch' thought Adrien from both universes.
Marinette gave him a light peck on his cheek, and Tikki could practically see the anger and jealousy rolling off of Adrien as he glared at his true kwami, who in response looked his chosen straight in the eye, and rubbed his kissed cheek teasingly. Plagg purred louder, making sure his chosen and other half could hear him. He nuzzled against Marinette's cheek, before crawling onto her shoulder, and curling himself into her hair. That's when Adrien and Tikki both noticed that Marinette's hair was down instead in their signature pigtails. Adrien also noticed that Marinette was acting as if she didn't know Plagg was a kwami, and yet she knew his name. As if to answer his thoughts, Rose asked Marinette why she called Plagg by that name. Marinette pet Plagg's head affectionately.
"Well, when I got home, I was looking around for, err… 'Something' (Tikki). I looked back at him to make sure he was alright, only to see that he was playing with my computer's keyboard. I was about to pick him up to pull him away from it, but he had accidentally typed in a few letters. P, L, A, G, and G. Plagg. I mainly went with it because he responds to it really well."
'Of course, of course...' Were the collective thoughts of Tikki and Adrien…
Everyone knew that Ladybug was a terrible liar because she hated lies, so Adrien knew Marinette was telling the truth, which could only mean one think… she honest to God believed Plagg was an actual kitten…
Shit.
"Monsieur Agreste! Language!" Miss Bustier scolded Adrien, even if the other Adrien did it who's to say their Adrien hasn't said it yet? Adrien could only nod in order to avoid any punishments in the future.
Come lunch time, and Adrien couldn't seem to catch a break. When the girls had stopped surrounding Marinette's table, the teacher had come in and told everyone to pay attention to her. When Tikki had tried to sneak into Marinette's bag to kick Plagg out, she complained that Plagg for some reason put a barrier around the purse, so that Tikki couldn't get in. Whenever it was a passing period between classes – well, there were several things wrong with that. Either Marinette was too busy talking to Mme. Bustier with her council work, or she was busy with the other girls whom fawned over Plagg. When Adrien finally got Marinette alone, he was about to quickly tell her before he got interrupted, but Plagg put a stop to that. Plag mewled angrily, causing Marinette to pick him up out of her purse. She cuddled him in her hands and smiled cheerfully at Adrien.
Some of the guys including Adrien slightly blushed at the sight before them. The way Marinette held and cuddled Plagg was like a mother carrying her child. In Adrien's mind his Lady would make an amazing mother. That thought alone caused shivers to run down his spine already imagining what their futures would look like.
"Oh! Umm, s-sorry! I just uh, well… He snuck into my bag this morning and when I was about to take him home he gave me the cutest little kitten eyes and I couldn't stand the idea of leaving him home alone so I let him stay. Isn't he cute though? I mean, the guys don't seem to like him s-so you might not agree, b-but I just, I mean, ugh I'm rambling again hahaha!"
Now that Adrien knew about Marinette's crush on him, he felt incredibly dumb that he interpreted Marinette's speech pattern so falsely. I mean knowing he was the cause of such adorableness from his Lady made his heart sore with pride.
Adrien looked down to Plagg, and glared at the little devil. Plagg gave him a look of pure innocence, but Adrien wasn't gonna buy it for a second. That glutton knew what he was doing, therefore he was as guilty as a newborn baby was innocent. Adiren put on a fake smile and reached out to pet (smack) the kwami.
"Yeah, 'cute'."
Once his hand was less than an inch away, Plagg smirked, and bit Adrien's finger. His eyes widened in shock. It hurt a bit, but he had felt worse. Marinette gasped and removed Plagg from Adrien, and scolded him in a baby like voice.
"No, no Plagg, no biting Adrien." She looked to said boy, "I'm so sorry about him, h-he hasn't acted like this before?"
"Why that little…" Adrien gritted his teeth out, if his Plagg wasn't asleep he would've strangled him for that.
Adrien gave a strained smile at the black ball of mischief, "It's fine, and cats don't really like me is all. So, what did you say you called him?"
"Oh! Well, I've been t-told it's a b-bit weird, but I really liked it so umm… Name Plagg is his, I mean-! Is his Plagg name – NO! I mean, his name is Plague! I-I mean Plagg! His name is Plagg!"
Everyone in the class gave a soft chuckle at Marinette's way of talking in front of her crush, even in another universe it's still funny seeing the bravest heroine in Paris turn into a stuttering mess when in front of her crush.
Adrien smiled at Marinette's stuttering and rambling, knowing that he could make her act like that. He felt Tikki nudge his side, and he remembered his goal. He looked Marinette carefully in the eye and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Marinette, I need to tell you something really important, and you have to promis me you won't freak out."
Marinette turned as red as her superhero suit. "O-okay."
"My, my. Aren't you a little young to propose to someone like that Monsieur Agreste?" Miss Bustier teased the young blonde, causing him to redden and enlisting a round of laughter and whistling from his peers.
"Plagg is-"
"MRAAAAAAAAWR!"
The 2 froze and looked a few feet over onto the ground, to see Plagg laying there, with a rock on his tail. Adrien and Tikki glared down at the tiny god.
'ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?"
They both knew all too well that Plagg was fine, he could lift the rock with ease, and had put it on his own tail to get attention. Marinette however, had not caught onto this fact. She didn't want her moment with Adrien to end, but with what was going on, she could care less if the guy up and proposed to her. Her poor little kitten was stuck and hurt, and she was not going to let anything distract her.
She pulled away from Adrien, and rushed to Plagg's aid. When she picked him up, both Tikki and Adrien face palmed at the sight of Plagg going limp in her hands, eyes closed, and mouth wide open with his tongue hanging out for good measure. Marinette hugged him close and turned to Adrien with a tear in each eye.
Adrien's eyebrow as well as Tikki's were now twitching in absolute irritation at what Plagg was doing. He was lucky that Marinette was too concerned to notice the absurdity of his 'injury'. Now Adrien is wishing he could crush the little devil into ink. While Tikki was thinking along the same line except she's thinking of squishing him with a steam roller.
"I'm so, so, sorry Adrien, but I need to get Plagg home right away, or else he may die!"
…What?
That was the same train of thought everyone did. How the heck does crushing a cat's tail lead to death? They could do nothing but shake their heads at Marinette's innocent naivety, it was both cute and bizarre at the same time.
Adrien sighed, "Marinette, I don't think a rock on the end of his tail is going to kill him."
Marinette shoved Plagg into his face, as tears started pooling out like she was an anime character.
"Look at him! He obviously couldn't take the pain! What am I going to do, I-I know, cheese!"
'Oh you've got to be kidding me. Adrien looked down at Plagg, who was physically restraining himself from jumping with glee as Marinette said one of his favorite words.
"Cheese! Specifically camembert! I'll get him a whole plate of it, that otta make him feel better!"
"Oh Marinette… your kindness and naivety is both a gift and a curse." Said Alya, knowing how much of a worry wart her bff is. While she means well, she can be a bit much.
Adrien was curious as to how she had come across that conclusion if she found him to be a normal kitten. But before he could say anything else, she turned and dashed home, not even stopping to say goodbye. Tikki flew out and leveled a glare Plagg's way.
"When I get my paws on that glutton he's gonna rue the last thousand years of his life!"
"Exactly how old are kwamis Tikki?" Nino asked
"I lost count at 50,000 years…" Tikki answered with a shrug ignoring the flabbergasted looks casted her way.
Adrien nodded in agreement before sighing, "Alright, let's follow her and see what other tricks Plagg's got up his cheese."
Groans were heard all around, and Adrien only said "Oh come on! That was a good one!"
Adrien entered the bakery to be greeted by Sabine and Tom's warm hugs. He hugged them back and laughed lightly when Sabine scolded him for not coming by more often, and he promised he would whenever he had the opportunity. He made his way up to Marinette's room, after grabbing him and Tikki a snicker doddle, knocked on Marinette's trap door.
"If it's mama, I'm busy designing, if it's papa, then I'm changing."
Adrien snickered at how Marinette used 2 different excuses which he doubted either were true.
"It's Adrien. Can I come in?"
Silence came for a few seconds.
"Alya? Nino? Oh god, you better not be Chloe-"
"Like I said, Adrien."
A few more seconds of silence before Adrien heard Marinette running all around her room, which he guessed was just her cleaning it up. When she opened the door, she was flushed strawberry pink.
Most of the girls giggled at that, knowing what Marinette was doing running around like that, while the boys just gave curious looks including Adrien.
"Adrien! H-HI what here doing you?"
He chuckled, "What am I doing here? I have something of yours, and I wanted to return her – er, 'it'"
"Oh umm sure! C-come on in!"
Adrien stepped inside the room, and when his eyes landed on Plagg, he couldn't hide his scowl. Plagg was sitting on top of Marinette's pick chaise, on top of a red hand sewn cushion with Tikki's name stitched in cursive with black laced thread. Tikki tried not to zip out and strangle the cat for laying on her bed, but what they both found the most annoying was what he was doing on it. All around him were small piles of cheesy treats and camembert slices, while he played with a silver bell attached to the end of his tail by a green ribbon. He kept swatting at it like a real cat would and it annoyed the 2 of them to no end.
All the girls even Miss Bustier 'awwed' at the sheer cuteness of the scene before them. Meanwhile all the boys just sighed and slumped. For Adrien and Tikki, they were holding themselves back from maiming the sleeping kwami beside them saying that it wasn't their Plagg that was doing that.
Plagg looked towards them before jumping up. His back arched, his ears flat, his pupils dilated, and he hissed menacingly. Adrien's jaw dropped in shock.
What? What? WHAT?
Tikki was about to snap, but was stopped when Marinette did the impossible. She picked Plagg up, and scratched under his chin with her left hand, and behind his ears and on his back with her right, causing Plagg to freeze up, before his eyes rolled back and fell onto his backside on the pillow, completely silent and peaceful. Adrien and Tikki didn't know how Marinette learned to do it, but she had somehow tamed Plagg, and made him behave, Adrien shook out of his stupor and sat down on the ground in front of Marinette.
"Not that I blame Plagg. Marinette does know where to scratch the right places~" Adrien said blissfully remembering earlier about his Lady scratching him under the chin, the feeling of it made him shiver in delight, much to the awkward looks some people sent his way.
"Marinette? Please don't freak out about how I know, and please let me explain, but… Tikki?"
Tikki flew out and Marinette gasped, "Tikki!"
"Marinette!"
10 minutes later explaining everything about the reveal etc. etc.
Marinette looked Adrien up and down, "Wait, but where's your kwami?"
Adrien and Tikki sighed exasperatedly before leveling a glare on Plagg, who was sitting up on Marinette's lap. Marinette froze upon seeing where their glares landed, and she looked down to Plagg in shock.
"You?!"
Plagg looked up at her with big innocent kitten eyes, making the girl sigh happily.
"Aww. Alright I'll forgive you~"
"WHAT!" Adrien and the guys face faulted while the girls just melted at the cute sight in front of them, they'd be lying if they said they won't forgive the cute little devil.
Adrien and Tikki jumped up in shock, "WHAT!"
"Oh come on, can you blame me?" she held Plagg up to their faces, "Look at this face! Could you really stay mad at him?"
They looked to Plagg, who stuck his tongue out in response. They gave Mari a black stare. "Yes."
AN: And that's the first part of this react universe. I'll be updating after I finish up some work. So for the mean time a thankful shout out to Marichat4ever for allowing me to use their story for this watch react fan fic. Until next time and remember review and be honest about it. See ya!
