Luckily for you guys, this idea was fun and cute and its going to be continued. Won't be a full blown story fic, more of a drabble like Grumpy Cat was, focusing on moments and interactions between characters. I do have another maybe idea with fox!Adrien, but that's going to have to wait till I get more stories done (looking at you OtW). And get farther along chapter wise, like the Butterfly!Marinette fic.
Till then enjoy this drabble! Shouldn't be as long as Grumpy Cat. I'm thinking 10-20 chapters (that's the plan anyway). Updates will vary.
Belle Blue partly hopped, partly flew along the roofs, eyes locked on the Bourgeois hotel. She was suspicious and concerned by the strange activities happening around Chloe, and while Ladybug and Chat weren't on the case yet, Belle wanted wanted to check it out. As Juuno had warned her since his awakening, there was little that could hide from her. She will always know at a glance when something was off. Nothing can be hidden from a peacock.
And something was definitely off.
And it'll take seeing Chloe to see what the issue was.
Even if she really, really, really didn't want to...
With a great leap, she landed regally before the startled doorman. Flashing him a reassuring smile, she said, "I would like to see Miss Bourgeo-"
"Right this way Lady Bleue!" the doorman cuts in, opening the door for her. She blinked in surprise. He quickly explained, "Miss Chloe has been long awaiting this day! She has made it clear that if you ever desire to see her, you are to be let in, no questions asked!"
She blinked skeptically at him. "G-great?" She quickly slipped in, a little put off that the blonde was evidently expecting her.
Nodding to wide guests, she slipped into the elevator and went straight for Chloe room. Stopping in front of the door, she could faintly hear the blonde whining inside. Sighing, she knocked and braced herself.
With a loud huff from the other side, Belle's tail feathers twitched as the door burst open, revealing a very agitated Chloe.
Only for it to quickly melt away into the happiest beam. "Belle!" Chloe gushed out, jumping at her. Belle reacted instinctively, catching the blonde and reluctantly letting her hug her tightly. "What are you doing here?" the blonde wondered, drawing away, eyes gleaming. She gave an excited gasp. "You knew I was in trouble, didn't you?!"
"I had suspicions," Belle said, gently push Chloe away to get some space.
"Well good!" Chloe said, grabbing Belle's wrist and dragging her in, earning a squawk from the peacock heroine. "I've tried getting Ladybug and Chat Noir, but those two just ignored me! Can you believe that?!" She stopped long enough to turn to Belle, smiling as she set a hand on her chest. "I should've known that you would come to help me."
"Y-yeah," was all Belle could offer, smiling awkwardly as she tried to get her wrist back. Not that Chloe noticed, dragging the superhero deeper into her room.
"So it's been horrible!" Chloe laments, "the worst things have been happening to me and there's no way to explain them!" Waving about dramatically, Chloe fell back, and it was pure instinct that lead to Belle catching the wealthy girl. Belle pursed her lips in mild annoyance as Chloe lamented on. "My stuff is being thrown away, my makeup tried to ruin me, an evil pair of scissors almost cut my hair!"
"How unfortunate," Belle mutters, pushing Chloe away.
"It is!" Chloe proclaimed, "I don't even know why this is happening!"
Belle narrowed her eyes at the lie, a red alert going off in her mind at the fib.
Chloe knew or at least had a fair idea on why this was happening. Breathing in and holding her breath, silently gathering her patience, Belle started to say, "Chloe I-"
"Sorry I'm late!"
Both girls turned to see Adrien rushing in. "I kinda slept in a littleek!" He skidded to a stop, eyes bulging when he saw Belle Bleue in Chloe's room. A strangled sound emitted from his throat and Adrien quickly covered his mouth, gulping.
Chloe and Belle eyed him oddly, the latter blushing a little at his sudden appearance.
Withdrawing his hand and moving it to rub his neck, he stammered, "B-Belle Bleue! H-h-hi! It's great t-to see youuuuummm." He snapped his lips shut, torn between grinning and grimacing. He rushed out, "I'mabigfan."
"Th-that's great," she stammered back, blushing and grinning stupidly. Oh my. Adrien was a big fan!
How miraculous was that?!
She jerks when Chloe rudely juts in, "Belle, why is you're tail fanning out like that?"
"W-what?" Whipping around, she made a stricken gasp. The five peacock feathers she had hanging around the waist were up, multiplied, and fanned out like the times they shaped into a shield to protect her back when in battle. Only there wasn't anything dangerous around, nothing she needs to be protected from. She... she was...
"BATHROOM!" she squawked, fleeing the room and blonds. She dropped the transformation the instant the door was closed, rounding on Juuno. "What was that?!" she whispered-screamed.
Juuno wasn't bothered. The little god was beaming, green eyes glistening with proud unshed tears. "You showed your colors so beautifully!" the kwami declared, sniffing. "I'm so proud!"
"JUUNO!" Marinette stressed.
Juuno clucks. "Marinette, it's perfectly normal behavior for peacocks, it's actually great! You're showing off your colors! You're letting him know your feelings! And that you find him to be attractive! And you're interested! He's going to be so flattered!"
"He wasn't supposed to know!" Marinette whispered-screamed, tugging at her hair.
Juuno shook his head, tsking. "Marinette," he said, floating near and poking her nose. "Listen to me, Tikki may like to think that she and her Ladybugs are the love masters of the miraculous, but in truth, it's the peacock who is the true love master. I will confess, Ladybugs may create many a couples among humans; but my peacocks never struggle in their love lives. Unlike her Bugs. This is great!"
"R-really?" Marinette asked.
"Yes!" Juuno nuzzled her nose. "The first step is done, little chick. You've displayed your colors and made your interest known."
"He knows," Marinette repeated, then paled. "He knows," she repeated, sliding down to her knees, bemoaning.
Blinking down at her, Juuno sighed. Ok, so this little bird will struggle a little.
Not much!
But a little.
Floating down, he tried to console the nervous chick and reassure her that yes, Adrien was going to be very flattered. Every match for his chicks were always so flattered when his regal chosens were interested in them and showed off their colors. It was a high honor, something time will never change.
She just needed to realize that.
In Chloe's room, the two blonds waited awkwardly for the heroine's return, mulling over that beautiful display. Adrien was smiling softly, recalling all those lovely colors of blue, green, silver, orange, and pink! There was even a little pink in those feathers!
How cute was that?
Chloe for her part had her lips pursed sourly, glaring at her bathroom door. Tightly, she called, "Adrien?"
"Hm?"
"...Do you think she, she was... displaying for you?"
Adrien released an excited gasp. "You think so?!"
Chloe turned to him, seeing his hopeful smile, his green eyes shining. Giving him a tight smile, she said, "Well, Adrikins, if she was, we're going to have a problem."
