Prompt: It's because it's her! Felix's eyes shot open and blinked. Not because she is Bridgette but because she is HER!

(I am using Felix in this. Adrien is only mentioned and Bridgette is a little too.)

Felix let out a small hum and tilted his head to the side. Fire burned along his throat and gentle hands combed through his hair. The fiery lips finally brushed against his own and he let out a small moan. He could feel the breathy giggle along his cheek and a small smile pulled at his lips. A purr escaped him and he could feel teeth nibble along his throat.

"Bridgette..." He moaned. The fire paused and left his skin, the weight lifted off his chest. Felix panted lightly and his eyes fluttered open. Sitting up a bit he looked at the girl sitting across from him. Dread filled his belly and shame flooded through his body all the way to his toes.

Marinette was sitting across from him, eyes wide. He could sense a bit of hurt there and he felt guiltier then before. She slowly got off the bed and Felix resisted the urge to reach for her.

"Mari-"

"It's ok." Her voice was quiet. "It's ok."

Felix sat up all the way with a frown, staring at her pink sheets. The familiar pain that came with remembering his old partner was there with the knowing force of hurting Marinette made it worse.

"It's getting late." Her voice quivered lightly. "You should start heading home."

Felix winced. Usually he stayed over night and leaves earlier the next morning. He stood and put his shirt back on, standing awkwardly by the window. Marinette had her arms crossed was looking anywhere but at him. Plagg and Tikki came out of their little spot with matching frowns and unsure glances. Felix sighed and rubbed a hand over his face.

"Mari-"

"Good night Felix." Her eyes glistened as she looked at him. Felix ducked his head and walked out to the patio. She closed the little hatch before he could even tell her good night. Plagg was silent for once and rested on his chosens shoulder.

"Plagg, claws out." He whispered. The feeling of freedom that came with Chat Noir was absent as he jumped rooftops on the way home. Entering his room, he de-transformed and laid on his bed.

"Kit?" Plagg's voice asked softly. Felix hummed in acknowledgement. "I miss her too." Felix breath hitched and closed his eyes. The pain and memories came rushing back and he took a shuddering breath.

"I hurt Marinette."

It was silent after that. He knew he hurt Marinette. He called her Bridgette. A name he tried forgetting but couldn't. He loved her. He would always love Bridgette with everything he had. But he was with Marinette! A girl who made him feel like himself, truly himself. Who accepted him with every part of him, who wasn't scared to voice her opinion or help him when needed. She protected him and he protected her.

She had no right to get mad at him for saying his teammates name! He was the one who lost her not Marinette. But he also couldn't blame her. How would he feel is she said Nathanael's name or Kim's name or even Nino! He would be pissed. But she wasn't, she was just...hurt. Felix could feel the warm tears set in his eyes and he growled, rubbing them fiercely. He wouldn't cry! He wouldn't. He was a Delacour. He didn't cry over stupid things like this. Felix closed his eyes, determined to forget about it and talk to Marinette the next day.

Felix looked around. No no no he was back at the scene! The scene that ruined everything. Looking down one arm he saw Bridgette. She was in her Ladybug outfit, yo-yo clutched tightly in both Felix and her hands. She was looking up at him with pleading eyes.

"Bridgette!" He yelled, already starting to pull her up. But a voice made him pause and freeze all over.

"Felix?" Looking at his other arm, Marinette was hanging off the edge just like Bridgette. Her blue bell eyes were filled with tears and she was generally scared. Not a bit of confidence from the Ladybug outfit she was wearing was there.

"Mari!"

He was torn. Both were hanging off. Both were running out of time. Bridgette yelped as she slipped further down. Felix nearly let go of The yo-yo to grab Bridgette when Marinette cried out. He turned in time to see her change back into the Marinette he loved. The real one. She was still holding on tight to the yo-yo and looked up at him.

"You can only save one." Hawkmoth's voice said. He shook his head and looked between both girls. Bridgette slipped again as she changed back. Looking down he noticed Marinette look at Bridgette. It was a look he was familiar with.

"Tikki!" Both girls yelled. The red kwami weakly looked at both of them in shock.

"Bridgette? Marinette?! How..."

Marinette looked up at Felix and sighed. She turned her attention back to Bridgette and grunted.

"Bridgette!" The girl turned to Marinette with wide eyes, confusion laced into her being. "You'll take care of this stupid cat won't you? For me?"

"Marinette! What the hell are you thinking!" Felix hissed, trying to pull them both up but failing.

"Marinette no!" Tikki squealed in panic, looking as torn as Felix was between both girls. Bridgette looked shocked and even more confused.

"What-What do you think your doing?"

"Don't even try Mari! I swear-" Felix threatened, feeling panic grip his chest as Marinette let one hand go. She smiled up at him, a tear falling down her cheek.

"Hey it's not goodbye." She whispered, speaking the words Bridgette did oh so long ago. "It's just...see you later."

"Marinette, don't!"

"See you Alley Cat." And she let go. Felix's eyes widened and he tried reaching before he heard Bridgette scream. She looked up just as her grip slipped.

"No!"

Felix bolted up in his bed, panting, sweat lingering along his forehead. No, no it wasn't real. It wasn't real. Looking at the clock he saw it was five in the morning. Sighing, Felix stood and walked into his bathroom.

"Kit?" Plagg asked softly.

"I'm fine. I'm just going to take a shower." He hurriedly walked in and turned in the cold water before stripping and hopping in, wincing at the icy feeling. Felix rested his head along his arm, shaking his head. It was just a nightmare...just a nightmare...

Ending his shower, Felix started getting dressed and ready for school. Walking downstairs he grabbed an apple and his bag. Nathalie looked at him shocked and narrowed her eyes.

"Your up early."

"Couldn't sleep." He muttered, sneaking a piece of cheese for Plagg. He stood, taking a bite of the apple and walking towards the door.

"Is the gorilla outside?"

"Ready whenever you are." She responded, still looking uncertain.

"I want to go to school early." The ride to school was silent. He looked out the window, hating how he couldn't stop thinking about Marinette, giving up herself so Felix could be with Bridgette only for Bridgette to fall too. He shook his head as he pulled up. It was six and he had a bit more time before school started. Usually he would walk with Marinette, get dropped of and go to the bakery and make sure she wasn't late. She probably didn't want him there and he sighed, walking to the steps. A few people did come and approach him but he shut them out like usual and decided to walk to his class. Sitting in his normal seat next to Marinette he waited, anxious like a cat to see her and assure himself she is safe.

He heard her voice before he saw her. Marinette was talking quietly to Alya and they entered, actually on time. Their eyes met and she didn't blush like she usually did. That made his heart feel heavy. She looked away a second later and walked to the seat behind him, the seat she originally sat at. He could hear Alya questioning her and Marinette just smiled reassuringly.

"Alya really it's fine. I just wanted to sit with my best friend...is that ok?"

The lie was bad. It didn't sound convincing, even to him and he wished it was true. He could tell Alya didn't by it but she stayed silent. School was torture for the rest of the day. Marinette avoided him at all costs and whenever he got near, she wouldn't look him in the eye and would make an excuse to run away. That left one option and that was to see her as Chat Noir.

He ran up to the top of the bakery and peered in through her window. Marinette was in her room, pacing while picking at one of her designs. He opened the hatch and slid in, walking up behind her.

"Marinette." She jumped with a cute squeak that made his heart beat a bit harder, especially seeing her this close up after so long (so long yeah right, pull yourself together Felix). She blinked up at him in surprise before looking away and stepping back.

"What do you want Felix?"

"We need to talk."

"No we don't. What's there to talk about?" Marinette tries walking around him but Felix grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him, her shoulder against his chest and his nose in her hair.

"You know what."

Marinette pulled away and walked to her bed and huffed, sitting down. "Then talk."

"I'm sorry." Felix started.

"I know."

"No, I'm really sorry!" Felix growled. "I just...I didn't mean-"

"You miss her. I get it." Marinette sighed, running a hand over her face. Felix looked down at her and notice she had the defiant look in her face.

"Marinette, she was my partner for 3 years. Try to understand that! And I miss her ok? I do a lot! But that doesn't mean...Marinette I care about you. I care about you so much." Felix put up some of his defenses because when Marinette looked up at him he knew she was turning into a spitfire. But he wasn't prepared for what she said.

"But you love Bridgette." She spat out angrily. Felix's eyes flashed and he narrowed them at the petite girl in front of him.

"Of course I love her!" He hissed. "I love her so much. She was the first person I ever loved." When Marinette flinched he couldn't find it in himself to feel guilty. He was pissed. How dare she bring Bridgette up like that.

"Then I guess this conversation is over." Marinette whispered. Felix glared down at the girl and turned on his heel, walking to the window. He could hear Marinette following behind him and he stepped out.

"It must have been nice." She muttered in a softer tone. He didn't turn around. "Having your first love love you. I never understood what love was. I didn't know anything about it."

He turned as she chuckled humorlessly.

"I've never had a first love before." She looked up at him, teary blue eyes bittersweet with anger, hurt and hate.

"Until I met you." His eyes widened a bit but she just shook her head. "They said you were going to hurt me. I didn't believe them. I shouldn't have given you that chance."

"You love me?" Felix whispered, finally understanding all this crap she had been pulling and anger toward himself grow.

"I did. But don't worry." She nodded at him, biting her lip. "I know how to move on from a broken heart. Because in case you forgot Felix? I had a partner too. And I might not have loved him the way you did Bridgette but I miss him so much. Adrien was my best friend but I learned to move on and accept that he is never coming back." Marinette paused, wiping her eyes. "Have a nice night Chat Noir." Marinette stepped back and closed the window. Tears trailed down her cheeks as she looked back at him and she closed the curtains.

Felix stood there, blinking at the window and if he strained he could hear her slowly falling apart...and it was his fault. She loved him and he pulls out all this Bridgette shit and oh god...Mari. He puts his hand on the window before signing and turning, running on home.

He remembered that. He remembered it was after Bridgette died. Plagg disappeared for a few months promising to come back. He grieved but didn't cry. Then he looked on the television one day and he saw Ladybug. A new Ladybug and a new Chat Noir and it seemed he was already head over heels for his Lady. The pain of remembering came back. It was two years later when that Chat Noir died. He took the place of his lady like a true knight. He protected her till the very end and died for it. A month later Felix re-inherited the cat kwami. He met the new ladybug and didn't know what to feel. She was sad and depressed but still worked hard. He had two years to get over Bridgette...she had one month. God, he was such an idiot.

He didn't see Marinette for three days. He even asked Alya who looked at him apprehensively.

"She has the stomach flu. She says she'll be better by tomorrow."

That would be Saturday where he would need an excuse to see her. He sighed and nodded at the girl in thanks.

"Did-Did you guys break up?" Alya asked quietly. Felix looked back at her and frowned.

"I don't know...I hope not."

Saturday came but he had a photo shoot for his father. It was in the park by the bakery and he kept looking at it longingly. He wanted to be with Marinette. He needed to be with her. He needed to apologize and tell her that he loves her. She probably won't believe him but he needed to try.

Screams distracted him from his musings. People were running and the screaming came louder. His blood ran cold and he raced toward an alley way, changing into Chat Noir. As he ran he felt lonely as Ladybug wasn't running next to him. Coming to the scene at the tower, a women stood, vines wrapped around her body as she cackled, destroying the fountain, everything in the area.

"I AM VENUS! MY VINES ARE SUPURE!" The lady yelled, vines flailing around her.

"Awe man! And I just finished gardening!" A voice from behind Felix grumbled. He turned and saw his lady standing there, an annoyed look on her face.

"M'lady." He muttered. She looked down at him before back at the akuma.

"Chat."

He nearly winced at her harsh tone. Looking over the city, destruction was afoot. The lady tore up the streets and created fires. One of the most dangerous akuma's they had ever faced. Ladybug glared at the akuma, twirling her yo-yo.

"Ready to kick some ass?"

"Don't need to tell me twice!" Chat Noir smirked and took off, Ladybug following. Both had pent up anger, so why not take that out first? The akuma smirked at them and rolled her shoulders, firing vines toward them. Ladybug used her yo-yo to deflect them while Chat used his claws. He climbed up one of the vines and took a swipe for the akuma's face.

"Chat!" Ladybug yelled. He turned, just missing a row of thorns. "Look for the akumatized object!"

"On it M'lady!"

Chat ran along the rooftops, trying to get a higher view when he noticed the akuma was going toward the Eiffel Tower.

"Why is everything by the Eiffel Tower? Why couldnt these things happen in..oh i dont know, VEGAS?" Chat picked up his speed just as Ladybug landed another blow on the akuma. It squealed in pain and one of the vines swiped Ladybug off her feet. She grunted before jumping up quickly and wrapping her yo-yo around one of the vines and yelped as it carried her off.

"Ladybug!" Chat yelled.

"Hurry up!" She yelled. Chat growled in irritation and with a burst of speed, ran after the akuma. Ladybug climbed her way up the roots to the green thorny teenage girl. Her black eyes stared daggers at the spotted hero and tried thinking of a diversion. On the Effile Tower a group of tourists were watching from inside, taking photos. The akuma smirked and thrashed a long vine along it, cutting the Tower in half.

"No!" Ladybug screamed, getting Chats attention. Pushing himself he watched the tower fall and heard the screams of the people inside.

"LUCKY CHARM!"

Chat twirled around and stared as a life preserver appeared. It made sense. A horrible foreboding feeling curled into Felix's stomach as Ladybug turned to him.

"Chat, I need you to get me some vines from Venus."

"You got it." Chat took off toward the akuma, Ladybug following a distance away, tying the preserver to her yo-yo. Chat took a leaping jump and screamed,

"CATACLYSM!"

The ground beneath the akuma crumbled making her fall with a wail. Chat sliced her vines with his claws and handed them to his lady. She grabbed his arm and took them to the Effile Tower. The tower was bent and was breaking with ever second. Ladybug got them to the breaking point. A family was inside the falling part. They would die.

"Here! Hurry!" Ladybug yelled, tossing preserver, holding on tightly to the yo-yo string. The family climbed in and Marinette glanced at Chat, grabbing the vine, about to tie them when a flash came to the corner of her eye.

"Chat move!"

Felix only had a split second to feel the yo-yo string get moved tohis hand when he was tackled to the ground. Ladybug had shoved him to the ground as Venus threw sharp thorns at him with incredible speed. Unfortunately that meant,

"Ladybug!"

Blood. So much blood. Thorns went into her back. Blood splurged out of her mouth, and she was falling. Chat arched his back and grabbed the vine still gripped in Ladybugs hand. His panic spiked and knew it wasn't just his own. Plagg was scared for Tikki. Maybe even Marinette.

He was back at the scene. Except it was real. Again. The tower broke and now Chat held the family with one hand and Ladybugs life with the other. People were underneath watching. A loud screech made Chat look down. The falling tower crushed the akuma. Maybe he had time. He looked to Ladybug.

"Marinette!" He yelled. She weakly looked up at him and smiled. She held out her other hand. It was a bracelet. It was black with green vein like lines around it. The akumatized object. She started to slip and the family yelled as he nearly lost his grip. "Mari!"

"Its ok. I promise," her blue bell eyes weren't dull. They were still as bright as ever and full of love...love for him. "Everything will be ok,"

"I-I can't- not without- Mari, I don't,"

"Get the akuma," she whispered. Her transformation wore off and Marinette was hanging there. Blood was running down her chin and dripping on the high ground below. A loud creak came from under them and Chat winced, bunching his muscles tightly.

"Marinette-"

"It's not goodbye Felix...," she smiled brightly. The smile he fell in love with. "It's just see you later, remember?"

"Please don't-"

"See ya Kitty Kat," she let go. Marinette fell and Chat Noir screamed loudly. He screamed and screamed. Her body fell into the cloud of smoke and he quickly ripped the bracelet with his teeth. The black butterfly flew out and he felt the tears fall as he watched. Suddenly red lights, ladybugs, flew toward it and absorbed it. A white butterfly flew away. Chat quickly tracked the family down the tower and looked into the smoke. The the screams were heard. Familiar screams.

"NO! NO NO NO!"

Alya.

Felix made his way through the crowd, still in his leather get up. Nino was holding Alya close to his chest as Alya sobbed, running her hands through a prone figures hair. The figure wasn't moving. Chat made his way to them. Nino looked at Chat with tears eyes while Alya openly cried harder, clutching tightly to her friends hand. Chat felt the world crush his shoulders, gravity failing him, and fell to his knees. Chats transformation fell and Felix was left staring into Marinettes dull blue eyes. Blood was dried along her cheeks and chin and her stomach was spotted red.

Plagg rushed away from his chosen to Tikki, who was at Marinettes forehead, crying softly while nuzzling her hair. Plagg looked over the fallen heroes face and sighed, his own tears welling up.

"She was a good kit," he whispered, flying over her to close her eyes. Felix nodded in thanks and gathered Marinette in his arms. Her parents sobbed over his shoulder and Felix finally let the tears slip out.

"I never-" he paused, sucking in a deep breath. "I never got the chance too...that's a lie. I had a lot of chances. I had a million ways of telling you but I-I never did. I should have told you," Felix started to sob and tighten his grip on her, pulling Marinette to his chest. "Truth is, I was scared. I was scared because Bridgette was the only one...the only one who made me feel this way. But then you show up...you...you made me feel like I was living. Not alive just to be alive. You made it worth being Chat Noir. You made it worth being Felix Delacour! You made me fell like I could to anything, just as long as your by my side. You-You promised," Felix suddenly shouted, causing people to flinch. "You promised everything would be ok but it's not! YOUR GONE! WHY DID YOU LEAVE?! WHAT DID I DO? IM SORRY PLEASE COME BACK PLEASE MARINETTE I NEED YOU PLEASE!"

Tom put a hand on Felix's shoulder and Felix started to sob harder then before. He couldn't breath, he couldn't think. He just wanted her alive.

"Please Mari, come back. I-" He whispered softly, caressing her cheek. "I love you,"

It was silent. Everyone was mourning the lose of their hero, their friend, their daughter, their lover and their partner. Marinettes body stayed limp and Felix closed his eyes, kissing her forehead, tears falling onto the heroines cheek. One of Tikki's ladybugs came and settled on Marinettes cheek. Another came into her chest. More and more flew onto their fallen sister.

"Go away! Go away all of you!" Alya cried, weakly slapping them off Marinette. A few landed on the wounds and desolved inside them.

"Look," Nino whispered as the Ladybids started dissolving into the heroine. Felix reared back and stared at his partners helpers.

"Plagg what's-"

"Their using their magic," Tikki whispered, eyes wide. Suddenly a loud heaving sigh escaped Marinette and her eyes drowsily flew open. Blue bell eyes met Cool Grey and a sweet smile came onto Marinettes face.

"I love you too silly kitty,"

"Oh my god Mari," Felix crushed her tightly to him and she weakly hugged him back. He kept kissing the sides of her head before planting his lips on Marinette. "I love you. I love you so much Marinette. I'm sorry, I should have told you,"

"It's ok Felix. It's ok. I love you too!" Marinette smile at Alya who was sobbing in happiness now and happily accepted the crushing hug from her.

"DONT EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN! DO YOU HEAR ME?"

Marinette nodded and smiled reassuringly. Alya scrutinized her with teary eyes.

"DO YOU HEAR ME?!" She repeated making Marinette giggle and hug Nino who was quietly scolding her. Marinette was then scooped up by her father and received loving and affection from both parents. Felix watched until he felt a hug and an arm around his shoulder. Alya and Nino.

"Tikki what was that?" Felix asked. They all became quiet again and look curiously at the little God.

"The Miraculous Cure," Tikki said with teary eyes. She had a proud smile on her face and lifted her little arms. A flurry of Ladybugs erupted around d her and cleared the sky, making everything as it should. Marinette turned to Felix and smiled brightly. He stared at her and couldn't help but say it again.

"I love you,"

A/N: Done! I hope you liked this chapter! It's really sad but I hope o did the ending ok!
