Author's Note: APRIL FOOLS! Or at least a late one, this was never planned to happen it was all just a dream because I only got one person for a prank on April first. Can't believe the dear readers could ever think our precious Chat Noir wanted to kill. Have more faith in our heroes! Shame on those who believed this was real. Excellent filler though, if anyone enjoyed that screw you!
Adrien woke up and checked his phone, 11:00pm. He could hear his heart beating, it was so fast he couldn't even count the beats. "I just had the weirdest dream Plagg."
"Kid. It's the middle of the night, we can talk about this in the morning."
"It's either talk to me and camembert or I transform."
"Ugh, fine. What was your dream about?"
"There was this powerful bird miraculous; it gave the power of tranquility and caco-cato-coto-caka something phoney. And Hawkmoth and Ladybug was there too! I was akumatised into Chat Blanc and I killed Hawkmoth who was actually my dad, then I went after Nathalie because she was apparently Mayura. It felt so real, but fake at the same time. I hate myself for even coming up with the idea of it, but I blame Ladybug."
"Why do you blame Ladybug? She had nothing to do with this."
"M'Lady has only tried to guess who Hawkmoth is once, just going to say that again, once. Even when I cataclysmed his face we didn't see anything but his hair and eyes, through glasses. Coincidentally, thatone guess was father. The hour after that conversation, my father was akumatised. Nathalie was also ill, the day of Mayura's first appearance. I can also remember my mother falling gravely ill before she died, what exactly could that mean?"
"Metaphorically, if Mayura was Nathalie and your mother, that miraculous could be damaged causing incurable effects after power is used."
"So that means... My mind must be making it all come together like that to agree with bugaboo! My father can't possibly be Hawkmoth, he was akumatised! Why would Hawkmoth control himself and let himself fail? It's all stupid, but conscience the fact that you want Ladybug to be right is so adorable and admirable but sorry this is too big to lie about. I appreciate the gesture though."
The Fandom: Head slap at this boy's obliviousness, date Marinette already!
"Well, I'm going back to sleep."
"Can you sleep in my coat? I'm gonna go out and just incase there is a problem that requires Chat Noir I'll need you."
"Only if you bring 2 wheels of cheese."
"A little extra weight won't hurt."
"You're the best, and so is sleep. Good night."
Adrien walked out of his building and saw Myer walking out of an alleyway, he called out to her. "Myer!"
She walked up to him, and went very close to his face. "What do you want?"
"Geez, I was just wondering. Do you have a place to stay?"
"My original idea was your place but if I want to survive the next month jobless without dying of hunger or starvation I need to be homeless. Hopefully I'll find one in 4 weeks."
"Not letting that happen, there's an apartment for rent 2 doors down from me, I was considering getting it but I wanted room 69-"
"Pfft, you're so childish Agreste."
"Do you want to hear my offer or not?"
"Yes yes. Do go on, 69-ner."
"Ugg. Anyway, room 71, 155 Euro a week. 1 room, 1 bathroom, living area, kitchen, laundry and a small study. Fully furnished. Interested?"
"Yes! Seriously?!"
"I'm a nice guy, what can I say. Booking it now," He went on his phone onto his building's website, booked room 71 for 1 month. Under the name, Myer Ancêtre-Héros. Another question, your last name means 'Ancestor hero' in french. Why? It sounds fake."
"It is, it's an abbreviation for my real name. It means ancestor of a hero. Let's not get into family backstory, k?"
"Ok, you know my phone number off by heart already and my email just was sent a code, which I just screenshotted and sent to you. You will be arriving at midnight, they are sending cleaners up there as we speak. I know because I just saw two janitors go into the elevator and click level 6. I'm a lot better at paying attention now I don't have someone constantly telling me exactly what is going on."
"Huh. Not bad. I'm going to a bar, want to come with?"
"Oh I gave up drinking, kind of. I avoid it unless necessary."
"Where are you off to?"
"Karaoke, it was on my bucket list and I don't feel like sleeping."
"Never though you were the singing type, well you do you. I'm off."
"Bye Myer!"
"See ya Agreste!"
Adrien never knew why but as a kid he would always pass this karaoke place near school and always wonder to himself what happens in there. Thanks to movies and work stories, he has a general idea and has been dying to try it for about 6 months. No that everywhere he goes there isn't a fan trying to stalk him, he was finally free from his father's grasp and is slowly getting rid of non-stop society pursuits. He even practiced the song he was going to sing, and if they had a piano, that too. He got the song off a series he watched back in Sydney, it was called Lucifer. And on the first episode of the forth season the opening song Lucifer sang really stuck with him, the song was Creep by Radiohead. If he was being fully honest netflix's version of the song was better than Radiohead's but it was still a decent song.
He went to school and followed the way and found it, he walked inside and saw a stage. It had a piano, 2 guitars, 3 microphones and a cheap drum kit. He payed all the things he needed too and sat down next to a small guy in the back row. "Hey, uhh. I'm new here and I don't really know how it works around here. Mind filling me in?"
"Sure sure. See that box near the stage?" The man pointed to a cardboard box up front on a stool.
"Yep."
"We do things a bit differently but it's fun. You write your name down and put it in the box, the manager will come out and draw a name, that person will go up on stage. Sing 2 songs max, unless 25 or more of the audience request a third, after that you sit down. I only come to watch, it is good fun on late nights. It's kind of like a game, I'm Ace."
"Nice to meet you Ace, I'm Adrien."
"Pleasure, oh and there's a notepad and a pen up at the bar."
"Cheers mate."
The man stared at Adrien weirdly as he walked up to the bar, but shrugged it off. He wrote Adrien Agreste on the card and put it into the box, a few more people had their turns before him. When he did have his turn he was probably the most nervous he had ever been. The 2/5 people who stepped up before him did a little greeting before beginning and he wanted to as well. Thankfully no one seemed to scream and jump on stage taking photos but he talked with a shaky voice.
"hello everyone, I'm Adrien. This is my first time so forgive me if I do something wrong but, I'll be singing a portion of Creep on the piano. Adrien brought a microphone and bent it over the piano toward his face. He mimicked the exact vocals he's been practicing.

Everyone was silent, a few mouths were open. "Should I go again?"
95% of the audience clapped, Adrien smiled and sang again.
"I was a liar, I gave into the fire."
"I know I should've fought it, at least I'm being honest."
The audience leaned closer, eager to hear and see more. "Feelin' like a failure, cause I know that I failed ya."
"I should've done you better, cause you don't want a liar."
"And I know and I know and I know he gives you everything, girl I couldn't give it to you."
"And I know and I know and I know that you got everything, I got nothing here without you."
"So one last time, I need to be, the one who takes you home."
"One more time, I promise after that, I'll let you go."
"Baby I don't care if you got him in your heart, all I really care is you wake up in my arms."
"One last time, I need to be, the one who takes you home."
"I don't deserve it, I know I don't deserve it."
"But stay with me a minute, I swear I'll make it worth it."
"Can't you forgive me, at least just temporarily?"
"I know that this is my fault, I should've been more careful."
"And I know and I know and I know he gives you everything, girl I couldn't give it to you."
"And I know and I know and I know that you got everything, but I got nothing here without you, Baby!"
"So one last time, I need to be the one who takes you home!"
"One more time, I promise after that, I'll let you go!"
"Baby I don't care if you got him in your heart, all I really care is you wake up in my arms!"
"One last time, I need to be the one who takes you home!"

One girl stood up and clapped, it was Marinette. Before Adrien called out to her everyone in the room stood up and started clapping, "Third song!" Screamed everyone, "Sing again!"
"Ok, ok!"
He stared at the piano for a second, "Any requests?"
"My Way!"
"Old Town Road!"
"I'm Still Standing!"
"Blinding Lights!"
"Luck Be A Lady!"
"Things!"
"La Da Dee!"
"A Thousand Years!"
"A Million Years!"
"Saturday Nights!"
"Can I Have This Dance!"
"Perfect!"
"Happier!"
"It Girl!"
"We Are The Champions!"
"Four Five Seconds!"
"Somebody That I Used To Know!"
"That's enough, Thank you! Now, I only heard like 10 of those so I need 2 numbers from everyone."
He pointed to someone in the second row, "Beautiful Red-haired women in the front, a number from 1 to ten?"
"7"
"Number 7 was Happier, now how about the gorgeous lady with the pigtails?"
"Number 3"
"3 was La Da Dee! Now I need a vote from the audience, 1 or 7?"
The calls were very close but it was clear that 3 was higher, at least from where Adrien was standing. He picked up the acoustic guitar and did his best, he learned this song in Sydney after another model named Lily showed for him. Later he learnt guitar and she offered to teach him La Da Dee, he put the guitar strap over his body and began to play & sing.
"There's no way to say this song's about someone else, every time you're not in my arms, I start to lose myself."
"Someone please pass me my shades, don't let em' see me down."
"You have taken over my days, so tonight I'm going out."
"Yet I'm feeling like, there is no better place than right, by your side."
"I had a little taste and I'll, only spoil the party anyway, cause all the girls are lookin' fine, but you're the only one on my mind..."
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, there's only me, there's only you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, when you are gone I think of you."
"All these places packed with people, but your face is all I see."
"And the music's way too loud, but your voice won't let me be."
"So many pretty girls around, they're just dressing to impress."
"But the thought of you alone has got me, sweatin' I don't know what to say next!"
"Yet I'm feeling like, there is no better place than right, by your side."
"I had a little taste and I'll, only spoil the party anyway, cause all the girls are lookin' fine, but you're the only one on my mind..."
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, there's only me, there's only you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, when you are gone I think of you."
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, there's only me, there's only you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, when you are gone I think of you."
"I pretend the night is so, beautiful."
"Take a photo with the bros, La da dee, La da de doo."
"They won't see through my disguise, right here behind my eyes, replayin' in my mind! La de da!"
"Yet I'm feeling like, there is no better place than right, by your side."
"I had a little taste and I'll, only spoil the party anyway, cause all the girls are lookin' fine, but you're the only one on my mind..."
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, there's only me, there's only you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, when you are gone I think of you."
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, there's only me, there's only you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, La da da me, La da de you!"
"La da dee, La da de doo, when you are gone I think of you."

Adrien jumped away from the piano to be greeted with loud applauses and amazing comments, there was only one person he cared about the opinion of; Marinette Dupain-Cheng. He saw her jumping up and down cheering and clapping, she looked so cheerful. He bowed and stepped of the stage, as he walked through the audince he got loads of good comments and pats on the back. Now there was two things on his mind, Marinette and the hope he wasn't going to get stood up by the next person singing. He sat down next to Marinette and the singing became a blur.
It was just them two, on their own island of imagination -joking, laughing, bonding- it was one of the best moments of Adrien's life. Not even his bad dreams and run in's with villains could keep him from smiling, especially with Marinette. She was so much more fun to be around as an adult, as a kid she was always shy and hesitant whenever she spoke. She had now lost that imperfection but kept the cuteness of nervousness. He found himself staring at her mid-conversation.
"Adrien?" Marinette waved her hand in front of his face.
"Were you even listening?"
"Nope, spending my time doing something much more satisfying."
Marinette felt offended, "Excuse me?! And what would that be?"
"Admiring you."
She blushed, "Ok I'll admit that was pretty smooth."
"Thanks, it's true though."
Marinette let out a slight giggle, Adrien replied with one back. He put his hand on her face, and stroked her cheek with his thumb. Marinette leaned in and kissed him, Adrien kissed back. They both stopped for breath, "Are you sure Marinette?"
"I'm sure, I think I've finally found something real relationship wise."
That hurt, Chat Noir was a great relationship possibility. Adrien said to himself, "Want to take this back to my place?"
"I'd love too, but I'll have to leave early next morning."
"Morning? Ok, I like that. Set on an idea."
"Well what else were we going to do? Play snap and say our goodbyes?"
"We can if we want to Mari." Adrien did puppy eyes, Marinette kissed him on the nose.
"Let's go, I'm beginning to lose my patience." Marinette said as she took his hand and guided him toward the exit.
