Prompt: Marinette is done. She doesn't want her Miraculous anymore. Maybe a past miraculous holder can calm her down.

She didn't want it. Not anymore. Marinette's shoulder were shaking and the tears kept coming. She didn't want this anymore! This gift! She loved vein Ladybug, sure, but it was ruining her life. Marinette looked in the mirror and all she saw was the red masked hero.

"You...this is all your fault!" With a scream, Marinette smashed her fist into the mirror before collapsing on the ground. Another sob tore through her as she kept apologizing to Tikki who petted her he'd in understanding. Marinette's hands shook as she took the earrings out of her ears and held them clutched into her fists. Now she was truly alone. She didn't notice her miraculous glow and a blue hues figure slowly came out of the earrings. A women with gentle eyes and a serene smile looked down at her and started to softly per her hair. Marinette jumped and looked up with wide red rimmed eyes.

"Shhhh there little one. It's alright,"

"Who are you?" Marinette sniffed. The women smiled and wiped her cheeks.

"I am the past holder of the Peacock Miraculous,"

"The-The Peacock? Then why did you-"

"Your kwami called out to mine darling. Now take a deep breath and calm down. Tell me what's wrong,"

"I-I'm...I can't! I can't do it anymore. I want to, I really do but I can't. I know Tikki wants me to be happy but...I'm overwhelmed. I don't like the attention. I don't want to be...Ladybug anymore," Marinette sobbed, hugging herself. The women hummed softly to her, a tune she didn't recognize but it calmed her down. The women's arms were wrapped around Marinette tightly and rocked her slowly.

"Why don't you want to be Ladybug?"

"I-I don't want to keep lying to everyone. It just hurts them and it hurts me. I can't do it!"

"Some good must come from it,"

"Besides helping people? My crush finally noticed me...except it isn't me. He notices Ladybug...he-he loves her! He could never love me,"

"But you are Ladybug," she crooned softly in Marinette's ear. "You are her and she is you,"

"No she isn't! I'm nothing like Ladybug...I hate her. She takes everything from me!" Marinette screwed her eyes shut and tried to stop thinking about Adrien and Chat.

"Oh darling," the women cupped Marinette's face and frowned. "How long have you felt like this?"

"I'm trying to be strong," Marinette explained. "I'm tired of trying, I'm tired of lying. Yeah I'm smiling but inside I'm dying,"

"When I had my Miraculous, I was in love with a man. A very isolated man with not much to give but his ideas and his art. And he fell in love with me. But not the right me. But I couldn't stop seeing him. So I decided on an alternative. I started seeing him as my civilian form. He was closed off at first but we became friends. I still saw him as my Miraculous but I loved seeing him as myself," Marinette smiled at her and cuddled closer. "He soon fell in love with me. The civilian me. And I realized, we aren't two people, my miraculous and I, we were one. He fell in love with ALL of me,"

"But I love two people,"

"Maybe they are one in the same,"

Marinette paused and sat up slowly. Adrien as Chat Noir. Adrien, sweet, polite Adrien as the pun master, flirty Chat Noir? Could that even be a possibility? Of course it could. Anyone could be Chat Noir.

"Who do you love more Marinette?"

Almost immediately Marinette opened her mouth to say Adrien but paused. Who did she love more? Adrien loved her but as Ladybug. He doesn't give Marinette the time of day. Not really. Sure they talk but he sees right through her. He doesn't see her. But Chat does. Chat visits Marinette with his stupid puns and happy hugs and nuzzles. He doesn't expect her to be anyone but herself. Doesn't expect her to be some hero. But Chat also loves Ladybug. But could he also love Marinette?

"I-I don't know. I mean I do, but, could he-could he ever love...me?"

"My darling, of course he could,"

"You sore know what to do in these situations. You sound like a mother," Marinette said softly, rubbing the remaining tears out of her eyes and off her face. The women chuckled and loosened her arms around Marinette.

"I was a mother once,"

"Was?"

"Yes. I had married that man. The one who loved all of me. We had a beautiful baby boy with blonde hair and big green eyes. He was so sweet. Soon, my husband started getting caught up in work. He had no time for me or his son. My kwami told me that there was something darkening happening to him and he was scared for me. To protect me, my kwami absorbed me,"

"Wait what?" Marinette blinked.

"Kwami's rely on instinct. If they feel there chosen is being threatened or will be and can't protect them, they can either leave or absorb their chosen,"

"But Tikki doesn't do that to me! And I fight Akumas daily,"

"That's because she knows you can take care of yourself. Before, I didn't believe my kwami. I trusted my husband and loved him so much. But he became controlling and overbearing. So he absorbed me into his miraculous. Everyone thought I went missing. I regret it. I miss my little boy. He is probably your age,"

"What was his name?"

"Adrien," Marinette gaped for a second and blinked rapidly.

"Adrien Agreste?"

The women looked at Marinette with her kind smile that reminded her of Adrien and her eyes. Those green eyes. Like Chats, she thought absentmindedly before shaking her head and leaning back on the women.

"Sometimes being a holder gets overwhelming. Like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. But that is where you talk to your partner. Let him be there for you, everyone needs a someone," Marinette thought it over for a second before nodding.

"Your right. I can't let it control me. I can't let anyone down!"

"And you won't. As long as you try and try your best," the women led Marinette to her bed and laid her down before kissing her head. "You'll do fine. As Ladybug and Marinette but personally?"

Marinette looked up at her as the women leant down and brushed her bangs out of her eyes.

"I like Marinette better. And so will Chat,"

"How did you-"

"A mothers intuition," the women winked before starting to put Marinette's earrings back in.

"Thank you,"

"Anytime little one,"

Tikki reappeared and looked down at Marinette with a sad smile before at the women still watching over her. The women smiled at the kwami and nodded her head before fading through Marinette's window.

The blue hued figure stopped at a large house with huge windows. The women came into the huge bedroom and floated toward the sleeping boy on the top big bed. The cat kwami woke startled by the radiation of her presence and bowed his head slowly.

"Take care of him Plagg. Please. Don't let him get corrupted,"

"He's different ma'am. He makes a perfect Chat Noir, with the right amount of passion and recklessness," the woman chuckled and brushed Adrien's bangs and kissed his forehead.

"I love you Adrien. Don't ever forget that. Don't ever forget that mommy loves you,"

And then she was gone.

It was on patrol the next day. Marinette was Ladybug and was staring over Paris on her favorite spot on the Eiffel Tower with Chat by her side. Marinette started humming the tune the woman hummed to her. Chat looked at his lady with wide eyes and tilted his head.

"My lady, where did you hear that tune?"

"Someone hummed it to me. It helped me calm down," she answered, looking over at the handsome cat and smiling. "Why?"

"My mom used to hum it to me," he answered, feet dangling off the side of the tower. "It calmed me down too,"

Ladybug blinked in surprise before a small smile appeared on her face. "Really?"

"Yeah. I sort of forgot it..after she disappeared,"

"She loves you," Chat looked at his lay with confusion as she just stared at the sunset. "She loves you a lot and regrets having to leave. I think she will come back. And that's because she loves you,"

The quiet hum of the wind filled the shocked silence before Ladybug turned with a smile, parts of her costume fading into her normal clothes.

"M-M'lady!"

"And so do I. I love you Chat Noir," Marinette gave a closed eyes smile and Chat gaped at her. "And I also love Adrien. I love all of you,"

Marinette flushed and intertwined her fingers and settled them on her lap.

"And I know you love Ladybug, but-"

Her eyes were so blue and clear and her lips pink and she looked so beautiful in the sunset.

"Can you learn to love Marinette as well?"

A/N: this was last minute like literally right before I fell asleep I thought of this and wrote it really quickly. I hope you liked it! I hope we hear what happened to Adriens mom in season 2. I also hope Marinette and Adrien learn their identities. It's a long shot but it would be worth seeing. Anyway I hope you liked it! Bye!
