Author's Note: Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! With this whole Covid-19 (Corona) It's been actually harder to get free time; for one I have to study more and as of the day I am writing this I am still in school and have an exam tomorrow. By the time you read this I am either getting my results, sleeping and for the latecomers, dead. But you didn't come here for my problems, you came here to read Love, Hate & Joy! And as a good listener and hopefully Author ask and you shall receive.
"So what did you want to tell me?"
"I planned on showing you my identity, but I'm having second thoughts. Still can't believe Alya found out, I should be beating you up for that one."
Chat stepped backwards, "Please don't M'lady."
Ladybug noticed him back away, she stared at him, "Why'd you step back. Are- Are you afraid of me?"
"Well yeah, no offence bugaboo but you may be one of the fiercest women in the galaxy? And you were going to hit me."
"You're invulnerable Chat, or at least 300% stronger than the normal human. Besides I don't even hit you that hard."
"Ladybug... You're also 300% stronger, probably 500 considering you have the stronger miraculous."
Ladybug bit her lip, he was right she thought. She walked up to him slowly and hugged him, "I'll stop hitting you from now on, but can you please stop being such a pain when I tell you to stop being a pain?"
"My word is my bond M'lady," Chat bowed like a gentleman, "I'll cool off on the puns and flirts, I've gotten a bit rusty anyway."
"You can keep the flirts and the nicknames kitty, just cut back on the revealing your identity and awful puns ok?"
Ladybugs yo-yo rang, on the other side was her home phone, "Sorry, I have to take this. Can you give me some privacy? You probably have some catching up to do."
"You have a point bugaboo, well I'm off. See you next akuma!"
Chat knew exactly where Adrien was going to go; to Marinette's house. Ladybug answered and it was her son Hugo, "Moooom! When are you going to get home? Jessica needs to leave because of that family dinner she has at 8. Caught up at work or something?"
"Hugo! Sweetie! I'm not at work I'm on my way now! Tell Jessica she can leave and Louis is in charge."
"Yeah ok, I'll tell Jessica she can leave and I'll tell Louis that I'm in charge. Bye Mom!"
"Honey! That's not what I said! HUGO!"
He hung up the phone and Ladybug cursed to herself as she leaped off the tower, how much can happen in 5 minutes? Surely it'll all work out! As she swung around the corner of a Parisian streets she passed a pub with crazy 18-year old drinkers. MY KIDS ARE GOING TO FUCKING KILL EACH OTHER!
Meanwhile, Chat Noir arrived as Jessica's car left the driveway. He heard screams from inside and flung himself through a window; detransforming while he was at it. He bolted through the hallway to bump into Emma, covered in dirt and ketchup. "Mr Agreste! Hugo and Louis are trying to kill each other! Help me!"
Adrien thought back to what was the cause of him being disciplined toward his father; he couldn't think of a reason so he just went with yelling and stomping. "BOOOYYYS!" He shouted as his feet boomed down the stairs, all the commotion came to a halt. As soon as the two saw Adrien they began fighting again, Hugo using a tennis racket and a baseball bat. With Louis using a frying pan and a squeezy bottle of condiment. He stepped into the middle of the fight and they both hesitated.
"Get out of the way Adrien! I need to cook Hugo!"
"Run along Agreste! I need to beef Louis' cake!"
"Nice pun Hugo!"
"Thanks, now move or I'll mow you down as well!"
"I can work with 2 main courses, step aside or I'll show you all my culinary arts skills!"
"How about this, you two verses me! That way it may be a tiny bit easier. Besides I do have some fight."
"Want to beat an adult brother?"
"For that title? Hell yeah!"
The two gremlins ran forward, Adrien ducked Hugo's baseball bat and stole Louis' frying pan. He threw it into the sink and was hit in the shoulder by a tennis racket, he grabbed it and threw it out a window. A stream of ketchup flew towards his face but he slowly downed it until his teeth could bite the sauce out of Louis' hands. He intercepted a baseball bat swing with his forearm and stole the bat from Hugo's hands, he pushed the two together and used the bat to plow them toward the living room. "Naughty boys, stay or else I'll tell your mother what you did!"
They both sat in silence and turned on the TV, not caring what show or channel they were on. Adrien javelin-threw the baseball bat out the window and picked up a cloth off the counter, he found some cleaning spray and wiped ketchup off all the walls. He picked up the broom from the side of the fridge and swept the dirt trail from sport equipment back out the back door, he picked up two hair brushes and a hair-dryer off the floor and put it all into the bathroom. "Emma! It's safe to come down!"
Keys turned the door as Emma leaped down the stairs and hugged Adrien, "You saved my life! Thank you! Thank you! Thank y-"
"Are you all still ali-! Adrien?"
Adrien waved at her, "Hey Marinette! I stopped by to see you but you weren't home so I, uhh, helped out a bit."
"A bit?! Hugo and Louis were going to kill each other! If it wasn't for that miracle you pulled to stop them from fighting either Hugo would be cooking or Louis would have multiple broken bones and a concussion!"
"Adrien, thank you but you shouldn't be telling my boys not to fight! They will be punished for this. DUPAIN-CHENG BOOOOYYYYYYYYS!"
The two ran and bowed at her feet, "We're sorry mommy! But Adrien cleaned up our mess! It won't happen again!"
"Hold up, ADRIEN HAD TO CLEAN UP YOUR MESS!"
"Mari, it was nothing. It was a ten second fix, just a few marks and out of place items. That's all, no biggie. I mean, do you remember how messy your room was? Or at least your desk anyway?"
"Don't you dare bring 15 year old Marinette into this! Now, boys. For next time please clean up your own mess and don't make our house guest do it, alright?"
"Go back to watching TV, Emma feel free to non-socialise with anyone and stay in your womencave. Adrien and I need to talk," She stared at him, "Backyard. Now."
A drop of sweat trickled down Adrien's neck, who was scarier; single mother with triplets and a house guest or a non-interested super heroine with flirts and wit. As Marinette grabbed his arm and yanked him outside he screamed internally, single mother. Definitely single mother!
"How did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Make them, calm. It usually takes me like a half hour to get them calm and clean."
"Well after being a lazy kid under strict rulings, you learn to get your shit done pretty quickly."
The ground began to shake, they both stared at each other and came to a realisation.
"Akuma!"
