A little LadyNoir for you guys :D

So yeah, Adrien's relatively okay again and Alya and Marinette are still talking about Nino while he's remixing some songs. Sometimes I wonder where they all came from, just moving into my room, giving me Headcanons to annoy them… Well, I don't mind! I love my sunshine children being around me ;D

Enjoy :P


She held her tightly and left no chance to break free from her grip. Her blonde hair glimmered with light raindrops as did the dark blue hair of the girl in front of her.

"Let her go!", Adrien tried to let his voice sound steady but failed.

"As if, little boy! You'll see her die right in front of your eyes!"

"Please, please save me Chat! Adrien, I don't wanna die, please!", Marinette cried, her cheeks glistening wet from either her tears or the drizzle they were standing in.

"Marinette, calm down, you're not gonna-…"

"Why are you lying to me?!"

Antibug grinned and held her knife closer to the bluenette's throat.

"Yeah, why are you lying? She's gonna die and there's nothing you can do!"

Adrien felt tears welling up in his eyes as Marinette yelled his name out of panic all over again and again, both his names. He swallowed and gritted his teeth, only barely holding back his anger towards the akumatized victim and fear for his friend's life.

"Antibug, I'll give you everything, everything to release her!"

He gasped when Marinette was closer to escaping than ever before but the black and red spotted villain grinned evilly and let her knife cut clean through Marinette's throat. She fell, students screaming horrified as she hit the schoolyard's ground.

A blood red puddle grew beneath her and Adrien yelled her name, hopelessly. She didn't hear him anymore.


Covered in sweat, Adrien awoke. He panted but hadn't screamed. Plagg was awake and caressed his chosen's cheek, mumbling soothing things to calm him down. Sobbing violently, he sat up and cupped his hands around Plagg's tiny body, holding him closer.

With a trembling hand, he then grabbed his phone and once again called Alya.

.

When he stepped into the classroom the next morning, nobody but a certain young reporter could explain the poisonous glare he gave Chloé.

Quickly, Alya was down the stairs and distracted him with a video she had shot the day before, when she had been goofing around with her younger sisters. Of course, they received confused glances from both their best friends but Alya didn't mind. She had to make sure Adrien didn't do something stupid and she had decided to not fail at this job. He sat down when the video was finished and smiled at his friend, silently thanking her for holding him back, especially because Chloé had gotten up to annoy him once more and Alya had calmed him.

"Adrikins? What are you doing in the lunchbreak?", she leaned on his desk and he resisted the urge to grimace.

"I'm hanging out with my friends, Chloé.", he said, not meeting her eyes. She laughed and he clenched his teeth.

"Oh, just perfect, I would love to spend the break with you, Adrikins!"

He finally looked up but kept his cold business face he always wore while speaking to his father or his colleagues.

"I said, I'm gonna spend it with my friends. Nino, Alya and Marinette. But thank you for offering."

She gasped dramatically, lightly covering her mouth with her petite hand.

"But Adrikins-…"

"Class is about to start, Chloé. I strongly advise you to sit down and pay attention. You don't want your father to spend even more money on trying to get you better grades, do you?"

She gasped again and theatrically held back her fake tears.

"How could you?!", she then turned and sat down on her seat, only to immediately be fussed over by Sabrina.

Nino lightly slapped his shoulder, grinning like crazy.

"I'm proud of you, man.", he laughed as Mme. Bustier stepped into the classroom, ready to start the lesson.

"Thanks. Chloé really needed to be put in place today.", Adrien responded which resulted in a fit of laughter next to him.

"Damn right, my friend."

They fist bumped as the teacher in front asked the class to settle down for the lesson to start.


"No way, no way!", they all screeched as Nino managed to push two entire pizza slices into his mouth.

Marinette laughed so hard she almost choked on her water and Alya fell from the bench backwards because she could no longer pay attention to her balance. Adrien punched his best friend in the shoulder and Nino almost spit out the whole content of his mouth, resulting in a scared and disgusted, but also amused yelp from the girls.

They all laughed until the brunette boy had chewed down everything and looked rather green.

"Guys, I'm never gonna do that again, ugh…", he groaned.

"Bet you can't fit three slices into your mouth.", Adrien grinned.

"It's on, man!", Nino already reached for the remaining three slices of his pizza as Alya and Marinette turned away with a big moan.

"Dude, don't do it! I can't stand watching you eat like a pig anymore!"

Marinette only giggled when Nino shrugged and took one slice instead, flashing a smile at her best friend. Adrien sighed and resisted the urge to stare. She had heard it and looked at him questioningly but he grinned and she concentrated on Nino again who told a story about one of his many cousins, eating an entire pizza in less than two minutes.

He laughed along with the others but his thoughts were wandering.

He hadn't seen Ladybug in over a week now. He knew that was normal, after all Hawkmoth didn't send out Akumas every day. Additionally, it was Ladybug's turn to patrol this week, so he didn't get to meet her until the next attack.

Or he could sneak out and surprise her during her next patrol.

Adrien grinned, deciding he would see his lady this evening again. It would only do him good he guessed, and he already missed being Chat Noir. He had always been for doing their night patrols together but she didn't want to, out of fear it would be too tempting for them to reveal and that they would grow too close. She always wanted their relationship to only be professional.

So, no nightly dates for him and his lady. But today he would make an exception.

"Hey, Agreste, snap out of it. What were you thinking about?"

He smiled sheepishly and avoided Marinette's eyes. Somehow he felt like he cheated on her when he wanted to see his lady.

"Uh, nothing in particular.", he laughed and ruffled his hair on the back of his head, still not looking at any of them, "How much time is it? Isn't the lunchbreak almost over?"

"Still ten minutes to go.", Nino munched next to him, busy with his last slice of pizza. Alya leaned forward and took a bite when the brunette answered his best friend, leaving him dumbstruck when he suddenly found the girl hanging on his slice of pizza, "Hey! That's my pizza!"

The young reporter giggled and chewed, shooting him a mischievous grin.

Nino gestured with his slice and scolded Alya, teaching her to not take a bite of his pizza. When the slice passed his face, Adrien took a quick bite too. His best friend's gaze turned to him disbelievingly and he gaped when the blonde chewed with a grin on his face.

"I don't believe it! Guys, don't touch my pizza, it's mine! It's holy to me!"

Marinette laughed and the young DJ rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, okay, you have a bite, too. But c'mon people, you already had your pizza!", he gave Marinette the slice and she happily took a bite.

"It's not our fault you're eating slowly!", Alya countered.

"Hey, I'm enjoying. And I had much to talk about. If I hadn't done most of the talking, you would all sit here and still eat while I would be stealing your pizza. I took one for the team!"

"And you're giving to the team, too! We're so proud of you.", Adrien wrapped an arm around Nino's shoulders and teased him by attempting to have another bite from the significantly shrunken slice.

"Yeah, I'm such a hero.", he replied sarcastically.

Strange, Marinette flinched by the mention of the word 'hero', Adrien thought, but meh, so many mysteries.


Adrien paced in his room, waiting until Plagg had eaten up his camembert.

"Kid, you've been Chat Noir literally just two nights ago."

"So what?"

"No Akuma, no duty, not necessary. You don't need to run over these roofs."

"Yeah I need to! I wanna see my lady."

"So you want to."

"No I need to!"

"You just said you want to!"

"And I need it! Ugh, Plagg, shut up and eat your camembert."

His Kwami rolled his eyes but Adrien didn't miss the tiny smile. He waited for Plagg to swallow his last bite to transform.

"Plagg, claws out!"

Seconds later, Chat Noir was running around, looking for his lady. He feared he was too early or too late and right as he was about to give up and head home again, after an hour of searching Paris, he finally saw her jumping towards the Eiffel tower. He decided to surprise her when she was there.

As soft footed as a cat he neared her as she was standing on the edge, overlooking their city.

Quickly, he grabbed her shoulders and yanked her back just a little bit, whispering into her ear.

"Don't slip, my lady."

She gasped and turned around, only to roll her eyes at his chesire grin and push him back playfully. He fell back and dramatically placed the back of his hand on his forehead.

"You wound me, my lady. Is it not clawsome to see me?"

"Not anymore. Not after this horrible pun."

"You mean, after this pawful pun?"

She rolled her eyes again and turned her back to him but he noticed the little amused smile that played around her lips.

"So, why are you here, Chat?"

He sat down and gestured her to sit next to him. She did and he attempted to wrap an arm around her shoulders but she only prodded his nose to keep him at arm's length.

"I was lonely! And I wanted to see you. Is it this catastrophic wanting to see my lady?"

"Your puns are terrible, Chat.", she giggled and he grinned wider.

"Maybe. But did you know that puns testify to great intelligence? Because of connecting words and replacing certain syllables through some similar sounding words?"

"Well, then you are looking your puns up on the internet."

"Meouch! My lady, why are we so mewn today?"

"Okay Chat, that's it, I'm leaving.", she laughed but didn't stand up, "Stop it with your puns!"

"I can't! Such Chat, much puns!"

She looked at him disbelievingly.

"Memes? Really?! Okay, that's it. I can't believe I'm saying this, but-… Please go back to your puns."

He threw his head into his neck and laughed loudly, after a while laying back and holding his stomach.

"C'mon, my lady! It escalated quickly but one does not simply roast Chat Noir!"

She cringed and finally got to her feet.

"Okay, that's really too much.", she shook her head and laughed, "See you around!"

Quickly, he brushed off the laughter and grabbed her hand, stopping her.

"No, seriously, I wanted to talk to you. Puns and memes aside."

Ladybug turned and looked at him, eyes wide.

"Did something happen? Is it serious? You're not quitting, are you?!"

He shook his head and smiled, calming her. They sat down again and he kneaded his hands.

"Uh, so, there are these things I wanted to ask you."

She tilted her head and shot him a questioning glance.

"So, uh, somebody is crushing on two girls. The first is out of his league but he believes she is his true love and the second is a cute girl who is crushing on him, too. He knows he can only be with one and has feelings for both of them but can't decide whether to turn down the second and keep trying to get the first to like him or to stop pining after the first and get together with the second, the girl that's crushing on him."

Ladybug smirked and he knew that she knew exactly he was talking about himself. Luckily for him she only knew about his love for her, the out-of-his-league-girl.

"Which Anime are you talking about?", she asked out of kindness, to make it easier for him.

"Uh-… Some Anime-… It's called-… 'Shinjitsu no koi' – 'true love'. Uuh, and it's not finished and I'm craving the finale and I wanted to know what you're thinking about it."

She leaned back and suppressed her smile. She knew it was serious to him and she didn't want to be unhelpful.

"Well, you're saying the first, the girl out of his league, will never notice him?"

He flinched, then tilted his head.

"I-… I wouldn't say that. She cares for him but not the same way he does for her. And she will never do because she is in love herself. With someone he doesn't know. Well, yeah, and what should he do?"

Ladybug let her legs dangle and thought about what to say next.

"Well, I think he's going to get together with the girl that likes him too. He deserves someone to care about him as much as he does and someone who wants to actually get to know him.", she said. A sad undertone to her voice told him she probably thought about this someone she was in love with herself, "He should give the second girl a chance. She loves him and if he's making her happy then he'll perhaps be, too?"

He thought about that, thought about Marinette and the girl that sat next to him and found himself unable to decide.

"I'll-… I'll probably just wait for the finale. Thanks for your advice, my lady."

He got up and left without another word, close to tears. He didn't know what to do. When he was with Marinette he forgot Ladybug and vice versa.


Confused, Adrien let himself fall onto his bed and buried his head in his pillows. Plagg all the while sat on his desk, munching camembert and shook his head.
"You're moping around like someone who just learned that half of humanity is going to die. Get over it, kid, and eat cheese. Cheese is simple and doesn't hurt."

"Unless you eat too much of it.", the blonde countered and looked up to find Plagg already opening the next camembert, "Like you. Don't you feel sick after some time?"

"Kiddo, I'm a Kwami that eats cheese. I can't possibly get sick."

Adrien shook his head and hid his face in his pillow again.
"Plagg, I'm clueless. I love Ladybug but everytime I think about her, Marinette comes to my mind. I really, really like Marinette but it's the same story with Ladybug. And when I'm with either of them, there's nothing in the world but us two. Ladybug mesmerizes me while Marinette amazes me and the other way around!"

Plagg looked disgusted.

"I love cheese, but that's too cheesy, even for me."

Adrien shot him a dead glare, declaring Plagg as the most unhelpful friend he's ever had.

"I need help, Plagg! Why don't you want to help me?", he whined.

The Kwami set aside his camembert and flew over to his chosen one, hugging his cheek again.

"Look, kid, I want to help you – don't look at me like that I'm not lying – but I just think you should sort out the other problem first: Your nightmares. It's what got you into this mess, right? Talk to Marinette! Ask Alya to help you talking to her. Then you can think about which girl you love."

The young model rolled on his back and stared up at the ceiling, speechless.

"… Plagg?", he breathed after a while.

"Yeah, kid?"

"I love you."

"Buy me more cheese and we can talk about me loving you back."

Adrien started laughing and didn't stop until his stomach hurt. When he finally took a deep breath, Plagg hovered in front of his face.

"No really, I'm serious. Buy me more cheese."

"All the cheese you want."

"I love you, kid!"
