"Your Miraculous is mine you pesky little bug!" Chat Blanc said venomously as she swung her baton like a bat into the back of Ladybug's head with a loud cracking sound. Ladybug fell onto all fours with a wince, biting his lip so hard to keep from crying out it began to bleed, he struggled to stand as black spots danced in his vision.

"Chat stop! This isn't like you at all!" He winced out, his voice coming out shaky and off key. "You don't know me. I'll crush you like the vermin you are after I steal your Miraculous, poor Paris will be nothing without it's precious Ladybug." She giggled and kicked her leg into the back of Ladybug's, sending him to the ground once again.

Ladybug paused for a moment, catching his breath and shaking his head to clear his thoughts and sight, before reaching back and grasping at Chat Blanc's leg and pulling her to the ground with him. "Unhand me!" She screeched, kicking her legs around until he finally let go of her leg, only to grab her by the shoulders and pin her under his weight.

"Marinette snap out of it! Hawk Moth is using you and once he gets my Miraculous he'll make sure he takes yours too. You need to remember who you are, remember the hero and forget the villain!" Ladybug said, green eyes staring into Chat's glowing blue ones.

Chat's costume changed from white to black for a moment, only for it to return to white, "That won't work on me that easy LoveBug~" Chat purred before lifting her knee up and slamming it into Ladybug's crotch, causing him to fall off of her and double over in pain. Groaning and holding his hands in front of his sensitive area, Ladybug was too distracted to notice Chat Blanc had moved a bit until it was too late.

She grabbed onto his red and black earrings and wrenched them out of their place in his ears. "Chat no!" He screamed before transforming back into Adrien, "Give me those earrings back! Please Chat don't do this!" He said, staggering to his feet and facing Chat Blanc. "Oh but you couldn't be more wrong little LoveBug, it's much easier being the villain and if you're going to continue to get in my way of things I'll just have to make sure there's no you." She said, the glow of her blue eyes becoming almost too bright to look at.

"Cataclysm!" She said and placed her hand on Adrien's chest, right over his heart. Adrien's body was covered in black for a moment, his wide surprised expression frozen as a shock went through his body. Once the black disappeared, he fell to the ground, his breathing stilled and his once vibrant green eyes losing their light.

Chat Blanc had stopped his heart with her cataclysm, "Serves you right for getting in my way." She said, turning her back on the scene. "Hawk Moth, I have your earrings and you'll get the ring once I'm finished with Chloe." She growled before walking over to the mayor's daughter.

"ADRIEN!" Marinette screamed as she quickly sat up in bed, her heart pounding a mile a minute and her bluebell eyes searching her surroundings, for him, for something, for anything that would tell her everything was just a bad dream. Not reality.

"Marinette! Sweetheart what's wrong?" Marinette's mother asked as she opened the trapdoor to Marinette's room, "Mom! Where's Adrien? Is he okay?" Marinette asked, racing out of her bed and to her mother. "Of course he is, he brought you home a couple of hours ago saying you had fallen asleep during lunch and you looked exhausted, he stayed for a little before we sent him back home with some things from the bakery. Whatever is the matter?" Sabine told her daughter what had happened.

"He did? It was all a dream? A bad dream….that's all it was…" Marinette sighed relieved, her heart finally beginning to calm down. "Go back to bed Marinette, it's late." Sabine said as she placed a kiss on her daughter's forehead before going back downstairs to her own bed.

"I killed him...in my dream I was Chat Blanc….and I killed Adrien…" Marinette's eyes started filling with tears as she recalled the events of her dream. "I was so terrible...what if I had actually done that?" She asked herself as she made her way onto her balcony, wiping away her tears in the process.

"I can't let this get to me, if I start feeling negative emotions Hawk Moth could turn me back into Chat Blanc, and I can't let that happen ever again…" She mumbled to herself, being lost in her own thoughts and speaking aloud to herself.

"Hello Princess." Ladybug said as he stood near the edge of her balcony, Marinette's eyes widened and she let out a small squeak in surprise. "L-Ladybug! You scared me!" Marinette placed her hand over her heart before realizing she had done the same thing to Adrien in her dream and quickly letting her arm drop back to her side.

"Sorry Princess I just thought I'd check and see if you were okay after what hap-" Ladybug began only to be cut off by Marinette's lips pressing against his own. His green eyes widened and his body froze up for a moment before slowly beginning to melt and kiss her back, placing his hands lightly on her waist as she wrapped her own arms around his neck, pulling his body closer until he was pressed against her.

She pulled back slightly, her lips still brushing against his, "I'm okay...You're okay….Oh god I'm so glad you're okay….I had this dream where I killed you when I was Chat Blanc…" She said, starting to shake a little from fear. "Don't leave me." She said, placing her hands on the sides of his face, "I won't." He said, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

He let his transformation go and a red light surrounded his body for a moment before fading, leaving him as Adrien. "I love you Marinette and I'm not going to leave you." He said, kissing her forehead.

"That's good…" She mumbled, burying her face in his chest and switching her arms from around his neck to around his torso as he rubbed small circles on her back. "It was just a dream, I know nothing like that would ever actually happen." He said, leaning his chin on the top of her head.

"But what if it did?" She asked, leaning her head back to look up at him, "I promise it won't Mari." He said, she giggled slightly, "Mari?" She questioned and he blushed a rosy pink. "It's a nickname…" He mumbled and she leaned her head against his chest. "I like it... In my dream I called you LoveBug.." She said quietly, "LoveBug? I like it." He grinned and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you Marinette." He said, tilting her head up so their eyes met, "I love you too Adrien." She said as they both leaned in until their lips met, sealing their love with a kiss.
