This was requested without a prompt so I just wrote what came to my mind ;)

Also, Trigger warning, this is getting bloody.

Thanks to the Anon on Tumblr!

"Hey there, pretty boy!", Firena grinned as she landed in front of Nino, crouching close to the ground to stay low, "Can I help you out?"

He recoiled and his eyes quickly jumped back to the fight before landing on her cheerful face again. That's what she was good at, grinning through everything.

"Uhm-"

"Wonderful!", she exclaimed, throwing a quick glance back over her shoulder, then she frowned, "Okay, hold on tight, we gotta get out of here."

Before he knew what was happening she had already scooped him up, running away with him in her arms. He gulped and tightly wrapped his arms around her neck, his whole body tensing as she picked up speed.

"Damnit, this Akuma is really fixated on you, huh?", she growled as another blow of a deep note slammed into the ground next to them. He whimpered and she gripped him tighter, "Don't worry, handsome, we'll get you outta here."

Nino risked a glance over her shoulder, gulping as he saw the Akuma trying to follow them but Ladybug jumped between them, holding it off with her yoyo. He clenched his jaw and pressed his forehead against her shoulder, feeling her jumping over another blow that had found its way towards them, running into another street to be out of view. Then she let him down, feeling that he trembled on his whole body.

"Say, how did you get into this situation? I mean, this Akuma is furious."

Nino wound his arms around his own body, trying to cut off his trembling but failing.

"I-… I applied for a club to perform.", he began the story as she knew it already. Nin had been pretty excited about that in school, "Well, and, I had to send in a sample of my songs. Y'know, f-for them to see what I produce, if it fits and stuff. They had hundreds of other people applying and chose ten out to come to their club today. I was there, because I was under these ten."

Another explosion sounded and she quickly urged him to continue jogging down the street, easily keeping up with him while she looked back.

"And then?"

"They asked us to perform, like an a-audition.", he explained, "So they could narrow it down to two."

She rolled her eyes, already guessing how it ended.

"You and the Akuma."

He nodded, now finally prying his arms away from his chest to properly run down the sidewalk, away from the fight.

"Yeah… I won because I was familiar with the mixing board. I have an older one at home. He wasn't as good as he could've been with another board, so it was obvious I would win."

"That's unfortunate for him.", she commented, throwing another glance over her shoulder. The Akuma had fought its way to the street where they currently ran away and had recognized Nino again, easily throwing away Chat another time to pick up the chase again, "Fuck. Hold on!"

She scooped him up once again mid-run and was about to jump onto the roofs but in that moment, another bass explosion threw them off, sending them rolling over the street. She was the first on her feet again, grabbing his hand and pulling him up.

He tried to warn her but his voice broke. The Akuma got closer behind her back, pulling off a giant note from his back. It was the size of a sword and probably sharp.

"Firena-"

"LOOK OUT!", Ladybug yelled but it was already too late. Firena turned around and Nino's eyes widened as she didn't dodge or jump to the side. She stayed, right in front of him.

The Akuma surged forward and shoved the note at her, the sharp end going right thorough her suit.

A sound of ripping and a muffled punch sounded, way too loudly for Nino's ears. He heard her spluttering in front of him and her body bending forward. The wild eyes of the Akuma met his and an icy shiver went down his back. Suddenly, something poked him.

On the height of his stomach, he only saw it now, the note was stopping right on his body. Firena's blood drew on the blue of the fabric and he already felt himself choking as the sharp edge just so dragged itself across over his hips and thigh so that it didn't hurt him as the superhero went to the floor in front of him.

The Akuma didn't even care about its weapon anymore, letting go of it and even pushing Firena to the side before she could hit the ground, making her fall further.

Just as the Akuma was right before grabbing him, Chat pulled it back, engaging it in a furious fight. Every grin was swiped from his face, in his eyes burning hate. Ladybug attacked with the same fury, her movements probably a bit too sharp, her punches a little too deadly.

They managed to push the Akuma back so that Nino could collect himself and finally break his trance, looking down to Firena. She was convulsing in waves of pain, coughing and spluttering out blood while still trying to breathe properly. He stepped around her, falling to his knees next to her so he could see where the note had stabbed her.

She had her eyes squinted, her hands clenched in front of her chest. The note was right beneath her arms, meaning it didn't hit her lungs or heart, at least.

Though, he knew this was still bad. Very bad.

"F-Firena?"

She opened her eyes for a brief moment, looking up to him, then she curled up tighter once again, wheezing heavily. He gulped, completely helpless as she was fighting against the pain.

"What-… What sh-should I-…", he already wanted to grab the note and pull it out to have it gone but she shook her head, effectively stopping him.

"… D-Don't-… P-Pull it-… Out…", she wheezed, still convulsing and pressing her head against the asphalt in search for something to hold on to, "… Has-… T-To-… Block-…"

A scream left her at another wave of pain and she squinted her eyes again, making him flinch.

"Tell me how to help!", he sobbed, his hands indecisively hanging in the air, "I-… I'll call an ambulance but-… H-How can I help you?!"

She just so managed a smile, then she screamed again before answering to him.

"S-Stay-… With… M-Me…"

He nodded, pulling out his phone and shakily typing in the emergency number. The case was quickly explained and he kept the call as the guy on the other end of the call told him. With his phone on his ear, he bent over Firena again, gently caressing her cheek.

"Please-… Please, c'mon, they're here in a bit. You'll be f-fine, right? You'll be fine."

She squinted her eyes tighter before coughing out more blood, dark red and slimy as it fell onto the asphalt.

"… Y-Yo-… Ha-andsome…", he quickly nodded, lowering his head to hear her better.

"Yes?"

"… T-Tell… Your-… Your girlf-friend-… You love her-…", she forced out, her voice sounding strained and thick of emotion and blood, "… P-Please?"

He furrowed his eyebrows at that request. Why should he tell Alya he loved her now? Should he call her? Or tell her later? What did she mean?

"… Wha-", but before he was even able to complete his question, she screamed again, then mumbled something. An orange flash blinded him and let him fall back of surprise, then he heard a high voice.

"Cub! Cub, no, no, c'mon! Don't you die on me, please! Cub!"

He slowly opened his eyes again and yelped as he saw how much blood had already spread over her shirt. Over her-… Her shirt…

His eyes widened at the familiar pattern of violet and orange squares that slowly vanished under the radiant red of blood. His gaze wandered up and he recognized the orange tips of her hair, the brown, curly mass that he loved so much the further he looked up.

Her beautiful dark skin, her orange fox ears missing.

Alya.

Without missing a beat, he turned to the side, choking. He didn't throw up, even if it needed all in him not to do that at the metallic smell of blood. The blood from his girlfriend.

"… N-Nino…", she finally forced out again, over another wet cough. He collected and braced himself before getting to his knees again, tears shining in his eyes as he made eye contact again.

"… I love you.", he mumbled, sobbing as he forced himself to focus on her eyes alone. Not the wound, not the crying, little, orange creature on her forehead, not the red blood in which he already kneeled, "I love you, Alya, please-… Please, don't-… Don't give in… In a second, Ladybug will r-release the healing light and-… Y-You'll be fine… You'll be fine, please…"

She managed a snort, then she convulsed again and screamed. He flinched at her pained cries before sliding closer, not caring about the blood.

He scooped her head up, stretched his leg out and rested her cheek on his thigh, then cradled her close, carefully of her wound.

She relaxed for a moment before violently sobbing into the fabric of his jeans on his hips, wheezing. Blood dampened his shirt and jeans but he didn't care. His fingers worked through her hair and he bent closer over her, to try and give her at least a little comfort.

"Shh… Shh… You'll be okay, Alya… I love you… Please, please be okay…"

She couldn't suppress another yelp in pain, tensing and clenching around the note in her stomach.

"… D-Don't-… Don't wanna d-die-… Don't-… P-Please, I-…", she sobbed, weakly shaking her head before screaming another time, "… N-Nino-… Please…"

It broke his heart to hear her begging like that, to hear the despair in her voice. The raw fear.

"You won't, Alya. You won't die."

She continued crying, her body shaking of pain and fear.

"… I d-don't-… W-Wanna die-… I-… M-Make it s-stop-… Just s-sto-op, ple-ease-…"

Nino shifted her higher, now taking her into his arms and sitting her up more. She screamed in pain but he couldn't bear her talking like that anymore. Cradling her head in his arms, pressing her tightly against his chest, he buried his face in her damp hair.

"You won't, Alya, you won't die. It'll be over in a second. Just a little more, Alya, a little longer. P-Please, just a little longer, just a bit!"

Her breaths got shorter and she choked, sprinkling blood on his shoulder. He didn't care one bit.

"… N-Nino-…"

He leant back again to lower his lips down on hers. He kissed her softly and felt her relaxing a bit before coughing again. The blood smeared on his chin and moistened his lips and even though he already felt his stomach churning again, he knew soothing her was more important now.

So he waited until she had a short moment of breathing through before he kissed her again, keeping his eyes closed. She barely turned her head away before she already threw up, vomiting out blood. The note had probably hit her stomach.

His shirt got soaked but he didn't mind, he just held her close, pressing his temple against hers, waiting until she was done. The convulsing got slower and she merely coughed, her body shaking.

Until she stilled.

Her coughing cut out, her breath sounded like rattling. Then, she sighed – and her muscles lost all tension. When he was sure her body had completely slumped he pressed her tighter, sobs overtaking him. One arm wrapped over her shoulder, his hand clenched into her shirt at her back. His other hand tightly buried in her hair to keep her head against his shoulder.

He didn't even feel it as the healing light washed over them, taking the note with it. She remained still in his arms, unmoving. Too warm.

And he didn't even feel it as a hand came to a rest on his trembling back.

Also, I deliberately left out the very last sentence ;) If someone wants to know this sentence, ask me in the reviews ;P
