Adrien flung the front door of his father's mansion open. He stormed through the door with Marinette pulling back on his arm to try and stop him.

"FATHER?" Adrien called out as he clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.

"Did you finally come back to take your rightful place?" Gabriel walked out of a door that was off to the side.

"Why did you shoot up my club?" Adrien swallowed hard and glared at him.

"Why did you run away from where you belong?" Gabriel smirked at him and Adrien growled in anger.

"That's pretty fucking obvious. You have NO right to shoot up my club!" Adrien jammed his finger towards his father. "You could have hurt innocent people! You could have had my club shut down!"

"Don't you think I know that?" Gabriel chuckled as he walked over to a cart with liquor on it. "How else will I get your attention, son?"

"That's not the way to do it!" Adrien knocked the glass of brandy out of his father's hand that he was trying to hand him. "Stop fucking with my life. I don't want to be a part of your scheme. I don't want to be a part of your life!" Adrien stormed towards the front door with Marinette running after him. "Leave me the fuck alone. That goes for Marinette too! And you owe me for the damage you caused!"

Adrien grabbed the door handle and flung it open with Marinette close behind him. They stormed out of the mansion and Marinette worried her bottom lip.

"Don't you think that was a bit harsh?" Marinette peered up at him as he climbed into his car.

"No." Adrien let the word pass his lips in a clipped tone as he started the car and slammed the stick shift into gear.

Marinette sighed as she stared out the front window, beside him.

He took turns fast and she watched him expertly shift gears and speed around cars. Marinette sighed as she watching how his knuckles turned white against the steering wheel. "So… wanna go get a job from Tikki then?"

"Sounds great." His tone was still clipped short as he swerved into a u-turn and headed back towards Tikki's shop with squealing tires that smelled like burning rubber.

"You're not gonna go home and... " She saw the fire behind his eyes and she chose to stop talking. "Never mind."

Adrien swerved and drifted the car into a parking spot. Marinette was flung against the door as the car stopped. She opened the glove box and threw a black mask into his lap as she slipped on a red one.

Adrien shoved the mask into his pocket and got out of the car as Marinette slipped her mask on. She caught up to him as he stormed towards the building. "I know you're mad, but you can't be stupid." She grabbed his mask and jumped up to stick it over his head.

Adrien sighed and shoved it into place. He stopped walking and turned to face her. "Why does it matter? Why not just get caught? I'm safer in jail."

"Because don't I matter? Am I not enough to not get caught? Enough to not be an idiot!" Ladybug raised her arms in the air. "WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO YOUR FATHER IS!"

"I DO!" Chat leaned into her and punched himself in the chest with his fist. "HE'S MY FLESH AND BLOOD, LB!" He panted as anger filled him and caused tears to fall from his eyes. "HE'S MY FATE! Just take a look at my future, baby. It's that. Whether I want it or not… I'm stuck. Cursed to be a murderer."

"That's not true and you know it." Ladybug grabbed his arm and pulled him close.

"It is. I can't run away forever and I was naive to think that I could." Chat sniffed and wiped away the tears. "You don't need this. You don't need to be attached to someone like me."

"Too late." Ladybug worried her bottom lip as she thought for a moment. "I fell in love with you and I'm here for the long ride. I just don't know if you are."

"I'm here." Chat leaned down and rested his forehead against hers as he intertwined his fingers with hers.

"Then be here." Ladybug grabbed the button panels of his woven shirt and tugged on them. "Stop being reckless."

"It's what we do, LB." Chat stared into her eyes with a blank expression. "We live our lives doing reckless shit."

"Just don't get caught." Ladybug pressed her lips against his as she let his shirt go.

Chat nodded and let her take his hand to go into the shop.

Tikki stood behind her desk with a serious expression. "What happened with Hawkmoth?"

"Nothing, it's handled." Chat cleared his throat, not wanting to talk about it.

"Nothing is handled with him." Tikki sighed as she threw a job at them. "Purple Lamborghini on this street. Grab it for me."

Chat nodded and yanked Marinette out of the shop to his car. They got in and he tapped the coordinates into his gps.

"Are we gonna do this forever?" Ladybug sighed as he slammed into gear.

"As long as I live." Chat smirked at her and swung the car around.

Ladybug watched him take turns hard and swerve around traffic as he flawlessly shifted and clutched. She swallowed hard as she got lost in his movements. There was something sexy about it and it always made heat pool between her thighs.

Chat glanced at the gps and back at the road as he took a sudden turn.

He drifted to a stop and stared at the purple Lamborghini. "Take over, baby." Chat hit the steering wheel and hopped out of his car.

Ladybug sighed and crawled over the stick shift, watching for any witnesses.

Chat snuck over and broke in through the window. He sat in the seat and began to hot wire it. He held up two fingers and Ladybug buckled her seatbelt, shutting the door.

Chat revved the car and smirked as he shifted into gear. He yelled out and took off.

Ladybug took off after him and kept up as he swerved between cars and around corners. She heard sirens and peered in the rearview mirror. Ladybug groaned and hit the button to call Chat.

"Yeah?" Chat shifted and took off faster through the traffic, breaking out onto the freeway.

"Two cops behind me. I'm gonna try to distract them." She clutched and shifted , taking a sudden turn. "One is off you."

One of the cops followed her off the freeway and through the city. She swerved and turned three rights, hoping to lose them.

Chat peered behind him, "Be careful, LB.". He hung up and got off the freeway, taking a few right turns. "Shit." Chat peered in the mirror to see the cop was still on his tail.

He took any turn he could and still couldn't lose the car. Chat slowed, quickly hid the lamborghini, and walked out with his phone to his ear.

"Where are you?" Ladybug frantically talked as she shifted.

"Fucked." Chat raised his hands as he hung up and the cop grabbed him and threw him to the ground, cuffing him.

Ladybug swerved the car around and raced back to where she thought he was. She called Tikki on the way. "Chat got caught."

She back tracked and saw the back of the purple car behind a building. "Your car is here. He ditched it."

"Good, bring me it." Tikki rubbed her eyes.

"WHAT? But I have to go get Chat's ass out of jail! Your car no longer matters!" Ladybug became irritated.

"That car matters as long as Hawkmoth is still around. Get me the car!" Tikki hung up the phone and groaned.

Ladybug screamed as she hit the steering wheel and got out of the car. She slipped into the driver's seat and took off with the purple car. She cursed the whole way back to Tikki's place.

Ladybug walked into Tikki's shop and slammed her palm onto her desk. "You owe me a fucking car to go get Chat."

"I don't owe you shit. You got caught. Figure it out." Tikki walked away to write down the car.

"Fine. I'll grab this one." Ladybug grabbed a key from the hooks on the wall and took off.

Tikki didn't even care. She was too focused on writing the car down.

Ladybug cursed under her breath as she slid into the black car and took off towards her apartment to grab stacks of cash. He had it stashed away in case he got caught.

She took off her mask and shoved their door open. Marinette put her mask in their bedroom and went to the closet to get into their safe. She put the code in and grabbed the cash, stuffing it into her purse.

Marinette changed into a pink skater dress and a pair of white Converses. She got back into her car and drove to where she knew they would take him.

She parked and walked into the police station. "I'm here to bail out Chat."

"I'll get the paperwork for you." The police officer left to grab it.

Chat sat in the holding cell, running his hand through his hair. He tapped his foot as anxiety rose within him. He had never been caught. He didn't know what to do. A part of him worried that his father would come bail him out.

"Chat?" A male voice called his name and he peered up at them. "Your girl bailed you out."

Marinette appeared from behind the cop with his belt and shoelaces in her hand. She smiled at him and the feeling of relief washed over him.

The cop undid the holding cell door and Chat ran at her. She caught him in her arms. "Good girl." Chat whispered against her ear and she giggled.

"I missed you too." Marinette smiled at the cop. She passed him his belt and shoelaces.

Chat put them back into his shoes and his belt back through the loops. "Let's go home." Chat wrapped his arm around her shoulders and Marinette lead him out to the car.

They got into the car and Chat threw his mask off. "You do realize how dumb that was? Why didn't you run?" Marinette hit him in the chest.

"I tried." Adrien sighed as he fixed his hair.

"You sure didn't seem like you did." Marinette put the car into gear and took off.

"Look, I couldn't lose him. I tried. Can we just go home and talk about this?" Adrien peered out the window.

"Fine." Marinette took off back to their apartment.
