Tikki and Plagg's point of view from "That night"!
Tikki And Plagg
Tikki's POV
I didn't know what to do.
When Marinette and Adrien found out they were each other's partner I thought Marinette would have been estatic.
To say the way she reacted instead shocked me was an understantement.
Never had I thought Marinette would get angry at finding out her crush was Chat Noir.
And she wasn't just angry only because she hadn't figured it out but because she believed it to not be right as it went against everything about either boy what she had gotten herself to believe.
She got angry at Adrien for revealing himself to not being as perfect as she believed, not realising how much that must have hurt the boy.
Both as Adrien and as Chat Noir had he been nothing but kind and accepting towards her and seeing her doing the opposite must have been crushing.
It was no wonder he snapped.
He got angry himself and pointed out how she was being selfish by expecting him to constantly act like the image she had of him in her head, despite having flaws herself.
Marinette was crying and I wanted to at least try to comfort her but I didn't dare intervere.
Adrien had apparently had enough as he tossed Plagg some camembert to eat.
It was clear Plagg was feeling just as conflicted as I was as he looked at me and our charges, not eating his food right away for the first time in years.
Still, he did so when Adrien's anger towards Marinette was threatening to turn into annoyance towards him and swallowed it in one big bite.
Adrien turned into Chat Noir and turned to leave.
Marinette, in a desperate attempt to get him to stay promised to love him as a whole but I knew she couldn't do that.
At least not right away as love is something that takes work and she can't force herself to truely love another part of him that she never loved before.
Chat knew it too, pointed it out and left.
When he was gone I finally dared to approach the girl who was sitting on her knees crying her eyes out at what happened.
I didn't know what to say to try and comfort her so I simply nuzzled against her cheek and stayed untill she started to calm down enough to transform and get herself home safely.
When we got home Marinette curled into a tight ball on her bed and wimpered.
I stayed close by and watched over her untill she peaked at me.
"Tikki? What do I do?" she asked and as much as I wanted to give optimistic advise like I usually did, I couldn't bring myself to.
There was nothing that could be done about this, especially not something that sounded positive.
I sighed and said as calmly as I could manage "I don't know Marinette. You may have never realised it but Adrien truelly loved you for who you are and instead of doing the same you acted as if he has no right to have his own personality. You broke that boy's heart, Marinette. I honestly don't know if you can fix this."
My words send the girl into another series of sobs.
I sighed and flew to Marinette's desk to leave her alone.
I really wanted to stay by her side but I knew this was something she needed to do on her own.
Perhaps this was my fault too.
I always believed she should be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them but I was too patient with her.
I've should have tried harder to make Marinette understand that she was only putting Adrien on a pedestal and that she didn't really know him but I only ever said little things and didn't push anything.
It is true that Marinette was selfish concerning both Adrien and Chat Noir and what was happening was her own fault but I can't help but wonder if, had I been tougher on her instead of always waiting for her to figure things out on her own, maybe things could have been different and neither child would be hurting so much now.
Now all I could do was be worried if Marinette would pull herself through this, I worried how if she could still work with Chat Noir, I worried if Adrien would ever forgive her but I worried mostly if he would ever be able to forgive herself.
Plagg's POV
I rarely ever knew what was going on and I'm not ashamed to admit that.
Yet, it was pretty hard to miss what was going on right now.
Adrien ended up destransforming in front of Ladybug who did the same and turned out to be that Marinette girl that sat behind him in class.
I could practically feel happiness flow from him when he learned who his lady was.
After all, he had wanted to know for so long and he had recently grown very fond of Marinette so in his eyes she would've been perfect as Ladybug.
I didn't expect that when he tried to appraoch her, she would get mad at him.
Not just getting mad at him for getting too close but mad of who he was.
For as long as I've been with Adrien have I seen people put him down when he was happy, telling him how he was supposed to behave and reject him no matter how hard he tried so I wasn't surprised when he finally snapped when the one who he thought would be the only one to truelly accept him crushed all his hopes and even dared to pretend all of it was his fault.
It turned out she was just another fangirl who only saw him from a distance or in some magazine she read and thought she actually knew everything about him.
She was even one of the very few people who Adrien had trusted to with a few details of his life and how it wasn't as great as people thought and how his father mostly expected but it would seem she just ignored all his obvious pain because they didn't fit in with what she wanted to see.
Adrien had loved Ladybug and started liking Marinette because he thought they would allow him to be who he really was without any expectations but it seemed they were the same girl who never even thought about how he would feel.
Even when she was finally starting to realise she was terrible to him, she still tried to pin blame on Adrien by telling him he did the same to her as Ladybug but he didn't let her and told her how he knew Ladybug had flaws.
It was true as he had seen her at her worst but still accepted her but it seemed the favor wasn't returned.
She flinched, obviously knowing he was right.
Adrien asked her when she ever actually really talked to his as Adrien without a real reason and that was when she chose to confess her crush.
Did she seriously think admitting that was going to change the situation?
Adrien didn't accept it and pointed out how she didn't really love him but the image of him she got stuck in her head.
I didn't know weither she started crying because of how she realised she really might have never truelly loved him or just at the ways he brushed her off but then again, she did that to him a millio times without a second thought and had been way more rude.
Suddenly he tossed me my beloved camembert but for once in years I wasn't hungry.
I honestly felt I conflicted on what to do but when Adrien got annoyed to quick ate my food, not enjoying it for the first time in forever.
Even while I couldn't talk to even Adrien when transformed, I still knew what was going on.
Marinette was crying and desperate and promised to really love Adrien but luckily he knew she couldn't keep that promise.
She had just been throwing a fit that she wanted him to only be his perfect self and wouldn't just be able to suddenly love his side that she never loved before.
After pointing it out Adrien left and went home.
Ever since the reveal Adrien had only allowed some anger to show but as soon as he entered his room his sadness broke through.
With a loud cry he dropped onto his bed and started sobbing into his pillow.
I couldn't bring myself to ask for cheese.
Not while the boy who I considered my own kitten was suffering so much.
He was such a good kid who didn't deserve all the pain he always felt.
He was shut off from the world for years, lost his mother, got ignored by his father no matter what he did, barely had any real friends and to top it all off the girl who he had fallen in love with and who he thought would love him back for who he was turned out to be just another selfsish fangirl that only wanted him to be what she expected instead of who he was, completely breaking his heart.
I've always had a hard time dealing with other's emotion and so usually kept my distaince but right now I couldn't do that.
Adrien needed me right now.
With that I flew over and as gently as could managed headbutted his head.
"It's gonna be alright, kid." I whispered as I wiped one of his tears away.
He didn't answer but just cried louder and I worried.
I worried about his pain right now, I worried if this might affect his mental stability, I worried about how he was going to Chat Noir now but I worried mostly if he would ever be able to trust another girl enough to fall in love.
The End
I honestly thought this would be like how the kwamis felt and I also added the scenes from when the got home so everyone could see how that went.
