sooooooo, since the new year began I've mainly been focusing on Miraculous 90's and kinda pushed this story to the side... I really want to build up ML 90's enough so maybe more people will read it... so far it hasn't gotten as much love as I thought it would. I mean, it's a fanfic about past miraculous holders! I for one would love to get some cannon backstory on past holders. but, maybe that's just me. oh well.

so this chapter ended up pretty long and that's great, but I had a hard time writing it... not because I didn't know what to write, but because I have too many things I want to happen in this story and can't land on one specific set. however, in the end I promise everything will be coherent... also I keep wanting to add Plagg and Tikki in somewhere, but I can't figure out where and when is a good time.

lol, so none of you seemed to get what Adrien was freaking out about on the bed... how do I explain in the most PG way possible... screw it! it was his baby gravy! to clear things up, yes Mari and Adrien did have sexy time while drunk the night of the ball. King Andre's murder will come up later and I will explain, but for now ya'll get Mari and Chloe fighting over Adrien... even though Mari is his lawfully wedded wife and is the love of his life (love at first sight).

if any of you want to draw any fanart of any of my stories, GO FOR IT! just make sure you show it to me because fanart is awesome. ya'll can hit me up on twitter or Instagram (still trying to figure it out since I'm new) my username is the same for basically everything so hopefully I'm not to hard to find... if you google inudigfan201 you'll get my fanfiction and youtube as the first results. but yeah, also I would love it if one of you wonderful readers could draw a cover image for this story. I'll give 100% of the credit to the artist (because what monster doesn't?)

anywho, I'll try to work on this just as much as ML 90's from now on, but I make no promises. ML 90's is my passion project that I've been developing since I first got into Miraculous 3 years ago (right before the great hiatus) and I've finally have a story worth telling and I'm happy with the characters. it just saddens me that the story I've put so much time and effort into isn't getting as much traffic as a story I have no real ending for and started off as a "hey wouldn't this be interesting?"

one more thing, my mom says Adrien is too nice (I was telling her about this chapter) and yeah... that's the point. Adrien is a sweet baby cinnamon roll, of course he's too nice.

enjoy and please review!

Ch, 6. All hail Queen Chloe

It had been a week since the ball... a week since King Andre's murder. A week since that morning. Marinette and Adrien's relationship hadn't changed, but he was far more cautious around her... he was still sweet and treated her very well, but it seemed like he was walking on eggshells. And she couldn't figure out why. Another thing she couldn't figure out is why she just felt... off. She was fine, but something was different. She couldn't for the life of her put her finger on what it was. She tried to tell Adrien something was up, but every time they had a moment alone Chloe found them and draped herself all over him crying obviously fake tears for her father.

At fist, Chloe's tears were real, but after a few days they became fake. One minute she'd be fine, ordering people around and generally being a pain. Then as soon as Adrien entered the same room as her, the water works were on. It got on Marinette's nerves. At least all the other guests left. Even her sister and brother-in-law and their kids. She gave them all a hug before they hit the road.

At any rate, she didn't have to worry about her husband's loyalty. He came back to their chambers every night. Although, with King Andre's death and Chloe's refusal to go home and become Queen, Gabriel put the responsibility on his son since their kingdom was the closest and Gabriel was far too busy running his own kingdom. Adrien would enter the chambers, flop onto the bed, and pass out... still fully dressed and with his sword on his hip. Marinette would remove his shoes and sword, but let him stay in his everyday attire. At least he wore comfy clothes so it really wasn't that big of a deal. As soon as she settled in beside him and blew the candle out he would roll over and wrap his arms around her in his sleep.

They'd wake up around the same time in the morning and he would get dressed and start his exhausting day all over again.

Marinette sighed. Today would be different. "Adrien?" She sat up in the bed after she felt the warmth of her husband's body leave.

He removed his shirt from the day prior and gazed at her with his abdomen bare. "Yes?" He smiled at her fondly.

"Can we talk?" She stood up and walked over to him.

He held her hands and gave a light kiss to her forehead. "I have all the time in the world for you my dear."

She smiled and blushed. "Then take the day off and send Chloe home to rule her own kingdom. It shouldn't be your responsibility."

His smile faded. "She's still grieving. Both of her parents are dead. I can't imagine how she's feeling right now." he kissed her on the cheek. "The least we could do is let her stay till she has finished grieving."

She sighed. Of course he would sympathies with her. He was too sweet for his own good.

He smiled once more. "I would love to take a day off though," He pouted. "I highly doubt father would let me."

She rolled her eyes in defeat. Then, she got an idea. "Then how about I help you? We can spend more time together and you won't come to bed so exhausted." She smiled wide. "Besides, I'm your wife after all. I'm supposed to shoulder your burdens with you."

He thought about it a moment and smiled as well. "I'd love some help. I'm so used to my own kingdom, I don't know how to run someone else's. I'm trying to run her realm like father runs ours, but it seems to have way more problems. I've shadowed father my entire life, not King Andre."

She gently rubbed his cheek with her thumb. "Lets do this, as a team."

He closed his eyes and leaned closer to her. She pushed him back with a finger to his nose. "Did you get enough sleep last night?" She blushed.

Consciously, they had only kissed on the lips once... and it was awkward. It wasn't that she didn't want to kiss her husband, she thought about it a lot. His lips just looked so kissable. But, not when they had little time to themselves and had to watch out for Chloe. Was it wrong for Marinette to want Adrien all to herself?

He sighed as he removed his pants so he could put on a fresh pair.

One good thing that happened because of That Night was the fact that they both felt a bit more comfortable around each other. She was really enjoying watching him change clothes. She wondered if he enjoyed watching her. He didn't complain, but she learned very quickly he wasn't the type to complain. He could be on his deathbed and still say he was fine. She admired that about him, but also hated it at the same time because she could never tell what he was thinking.

He had answered her and had put on a pair of black leather pants she didn't even know he owned, but she wasn't complaining... they looked nice on him... really nice. He pulled down a shirt like the one he wore the day before and put on a pair of boots.

"If you're attempting to look like a pirate, I think you've succeeded." She giggled as she tied a bow on the back of her plain pink dress.

He smiled and shrugged. He then noticed the bow she tied was lopsided and proceeded to fix it. "I felt like changing it up today."

She fiddled with a lock of her hair as he fixed her bow. "Speaking of change... there's something else I want to talk about."

"I'm all ears." He stood back to admire his bow tying skills.

"You know how neither of us remember what happened that night?" She began. He blushed and nodded. She took a deep breath. "I'm not entirely sure, but I think something happened... I think we did something. I could be completely wrong, but I have a feeling we..."

"Adrikins!" Chloe burst into the room and hugged him from behind.

He scowled and removed her from his person. "Chloe, how many times do I have to tell you I'm married and to stop calling me that?"

Chloe rolled her eyes as she pouted and crossed her arms. "It was an arranged marriage. We all know who you would have picked." She smiled and fluttered her eyelashes.

He grew more annoyed. "My wife and I were talking about something important."

"She can leave." Chloe checked her nails for dirt.

"Out!" Marinette pushed her out the door and into Nathalie, the governess of the castle.

Nathalie was a stern woman who kept a strict schedule and the castle running smoothly. When Adrien was young, after his mother passed, he swore his father had made Nathalie his mistress, but he could never confirm his suspicions. However, he was still skeptical and often wondered if his father was going to remarry. He knew no one could ever replace his mother.

Nathalie dusted herself and the blonde "princess" off. She then cleared her throat and gave Adrien a stern look. "Adrien you have matters to attend to in the study." She then gave Chloe the same look. "Unless her highness is up to governing her kingdom."

Marinette smiled at the comment as Chloe put the back of her hand to her forehead.

"I'm too devastated to properly rule." Fake tears trailed down the blonde's face.

Marinette rolled her eyes as she grabbed her husband's hand. "Well dear, shall we head to the study?" she smiled up at him.

He chuckled a little as he smiled wide. "Yes let's." He held her hand.

They began to walk and Marinette swore she heard Chloe growl. She just rested her head on Adrien's chest and kept walking.

Really, if Adrien wanted to marry Chloe, he would have. But, he didn't. Instead he married Marinette. He even asked her once where she had been his entire life. So it was safe to say Adrien was happy with his decision.

"My Lady?" He asked quietly as they turned a corner.

She looked up at him. "Hm?"

"If we're not too tired tonight..." He blushed uncontrollably. "I was thinking maybe we could..." He scratched the back of his head. "If you want to that is..." He blushed even more. "If we could try for a child of our own tonight?"

She blinked at him.

"We don't have to if you don't want to." He looked away from her. "I was just throwing it out there."

She hugged his arm and smiled wide. "I would love to."

Luckily with Marinette's help, the day went by much smoother and when it was time to retire to their chambers, Adrien was full of energy. As well as very excited to officially consummate his marriage. He figured they had already done the act that night, but he didn't say anything. Besides, he wanted their first time to be spacial... well, that was out the window. Now all he cared about was being able to please his wife in bed. He had the whole thing planned in his head all day... it was the only thing he could think about.

To be honest, he used to look down on men that thought of such things all the time... but now he was one of them. However, Adrien only thought of his wife while the other men sought after multiple women. He found that so disrespectful.

"So..." Her voice came to his ears and he smiled at her. She shrugged and blushed. "How do we go about doing this?"

"Well, you could let me kiss you." he lifted her chin and knelt down a little so their lips met.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and he picked her up. He held her steady with one hand on her back as the other firmly under her butt. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he peppered kisses on her neck. He was working his way down to her chest as his now free hand traveled up the skirt of her dress. Her skin was so soft to his touch. She broke away from his kisses for a moment, pulled her dress off and tossed it to the chaise leaving her in just a slip that barely covered her at all. He set her down gently on the bed, flashed her a smile that made her giggle, removed his pants so his shirt was the only thing covering him. He was about to remove the shirt too... until the door nearly came off it's hinges do to a swift kick to the wood.

"What are you doing?!" Chloe screamed at the top of her lungs.

Adrien quickly covered his wife with a blanket so she would not be indecent. He then scowled at the blonde. He was about to yell at her, but Marinette beat him to it.

"Get out! Guards!" Marinette shouted. In less than a second, two burly men appeared. Marinette cleared her throat. "Could you gentlemen please escort her Majesty back to her own kingdom... she's overstayed her welcome."

The two men did as they were told and even fixed the door. The couple could hear Chloe complain and whine all the way down the hall to her guest chambers.

Marinette sighed and crawled over to her side of the bed.

Adrien gazed at his wife, whom had every right to be pissed, but he still felt bad for Chloe. He put hand hand on his wife's shoulder and gave her a warm smile.

She gave him a bored expression. "I'm not in the mood anymore." she pulled the covers over her head.

Adrien sighed. "Damn it!" He breathed and flopped onto his side.

"We can try again tomorrow night." She poked her head out and rolled over to face him.

To that he smiled. "I'm sorry about Chloe, I don't know what her problem is."

She rolled her eyes. She knew what Chloe's problem was. She knew exactly what is was.

Chloe packed her things under the watchful eye of the two guards. Tears rolled down her cheeks and onto her dresses ruining her makeup. How could Adrien choose Marinette over her? She was far prettier and from a wealthier kingdom. Besides, she had known Adrien longer. And, to rub salt into her wound... memories of that night resurfaced. She fell to the floor bawling. How could she allow herself to sleep with Nathaniel of all people? He wasn't a prince. Why did she allow herself to get that drunk?
