well, this one should be fun. this started out as an idea while I was cleaning and I kinda just ran with it. not entirely sure how long it's gonna be... enjoy!
Ch, 4. Kid? Kid!
Adrien thought he and Marinette lost Chloe once inside the theater. But, once they sat down in their seats, she appeared next to him.
His eyebrow twitched. 'I should have bought out the auditorium.' He rubbed his eyes in annoyance.
"Chloe?" Marinette raised an eyebrow. "Did you get lost? This is Space Battles six."
Chloe giggled and grabbed Adrien by the arm. "I don't care as long as MY Adri-kins is here."
Adrien scowled and jerked his arm away, careful not to accidently hit Marinette. "Chloe, I'm on a date." He crossed his arms. "And who said I'm your Adri-kins?"
Chloe huffed and crossed her own arms. "Get me some popcorn Adri-kins."
Adrien rolled his eyes and grumbled. "Um… no." His eye twitched again. "Go get your own popcorn." He spoke bluntly. "You've got two perfectly good legs."
"And what kind of boyfriend doesn't get his girlfriend popcorn?" Chloe rolled her eyes.
"What?" Adrien fumed. He stood up. "Chloe Bourgeois! I am not your boyfriend!" He yelled. "I'm on a date with Marinette. I came out to spend time with Marinette. Because I want to be Marinette's boyfriend! Because I love Marinette! And I can't stand you Chloe! Leave me and Marinette the Fuck alone!" His eyes glowed green for two seconds and fangs replaced his canines for the same amount of time. The ring on his finger flashed black and green as well. But, no one noticed in the dark theater.
Marinette and Chloe gasped. Neither of them knew what to say.
Marinette blushed profusely while Chloe fumed.
The rest of the movie goers stood up and clapped. "You tell her! Put her in her place! You go son!" They cheered.
Chloe stormed out of the theater and Adrien sat down as the crowd calmed down.
"Adrien?" Marinette put her hand to his forehead. "Are you alright?" He was noticeably warm. "You're burning up!" She gasped.
He gave her a nervous smile. "I'll be fine." He stood up. "Be right back. I'm gonna go splash some water in my face."
She continued to blush. "Alright."
He burst into the men's restroom. Luckily for him, it was empty.
"Plagg?!" He opened his jacket. "What's going on? The miraculous burned a little."
Plagg flew out and crossed his arms. "Kid…" His scowl softened. "You need to calm down before we end up dealing with something worse than an akuma."
Adrien became confused. "Like what?"
Plagg sighed and pointed to the miraculous. "You."
Adrien held up his hand and examined the ring. It seemed fine. He then looked back up at his Kwami. "What do you mean?"
"Holders of Miraculous can't get akumatized, but that doesn't mean that they are safe from negative emotions that attract akuma. Every time you cry yourself to sleep at night, it's me who hides you from Hawkmoth… but, I can't hide you from yourself." Plagg began to explain. "You gotta cool it kid." He then grimaced. "It's happened to several of my kittens." He shuttered. "It ain't pretty kid."
"What happened?" Adrien began to panic. "What's going on? What's happening to me?" He gulped. "Please tell me… I won't hurt anyone."
Plagg sighed. "For your sake, I hope it doesn't happen at all. But, the process has begun." He sighed again and shook his head. "And historically, many people have gotten hurt… and died."
Adrien gasped. "Is there any way to stop or reverse the process? I don't want to hurt anyone." He began to sweat. "I don't… I don't wanna hurt… I don't wanna hurt Marinette."
Plagg nodded. "I know kid… but what I don't know is if there is a way to stop it. The kittens it happened to… once it started… there was no stopping."
Adrien stammered to the sink and cut the water on. He then rolled up his sleeves and splashed the cold water on his face. He then looked up at himself in the mirror. "I won't let it happen. I won't hurt Marinette!"
Plagg smiled nervously. 'That's what they all said… just swap Marinette with Juli, Kaitlin, Amethyst, Rebecca, Patty, Elisabeth, Rose, and Ashanti… just to name a few.'
Adrien was soon back in the auditorium and found his seat next to Marinette. "What did I miss?" He whispered.
She shrugged. "Just a bunch of ads." She then gave him a concerned look. "Are you alright?"
He gave her a reassuring smile. "Never been better." He popped some popcorn into his mouth.
