Happy New Year.
Adrien's photoshoot was getting very complicated for him and he sure would love to hear what his father would say to him. Adrien wasn't himself all day after leaving school early for his photoshoot. Having this creature inside his body was just something he didn't feel worried about. He had to cover the bags under his eyes with makeup.
"Okay Mr. Agreste, hold still," The photographer said.
Adrien stands in the same pose as earlier, trying to remain calm. He hates doing poses of the same previous ones that his father instructed him to do. The voice in his head was still bothering him which made Adrien move his arm against his will.
"No, no, no. Arms on the hips" The Photographer said.
"Try something new" Adrien didn't mean to say that.
"It's what your father told us," The photographer said.
"But I feel like something new should be tried out," Adrien said.
"Why can't you be yourself?" Venom said.
Adrien didn't reply to not look crazy in front of everyone. After trying poses that took forever, he headed home and he sure knows that his father will ask questions about the new poses.
"Show me you got a backbone," Venom said in his head.
"I do have a backbone. I'm not a wimp" Adrien said, looking crazy in front of Plagg.
"Oh boy," Plagg sighs.
"If I can't eat brains to survive, then chocolate will. But it's not enough to survive!" Venom said, making Adrien walk aggressively.
"Whoa!" Adrien felt Venom control him.
Once inside, Adrien saw his father at the stairs.
"That is him who neglects you?! I expect better!" Venom said.
"Yes," Adrien whispered.
"I've been informed that the photoshoots were not what I expected them to be" Gabriel glared.
"Not my problem, your problem" Adrien had no idea why he said that out loud.
"Was it really something you wanted to try?" Gabriel asked.
"Yes, because I decided to make my own" Adrien said, feeling like he could speak up for himself.
"Just this once, but next time it's my instructions again," Gabriel said.
"Thank you, for letting my pose pass" Adrien walks past him.
"Let me eat him! I don't like that strict tone of his bossing your innocence!" Venom demanded but Adrien had control of his desire.
"No, I can't do cannibalism," Adrien said.
"What else is there to eat?" Venom asked.
"Well, there's birds, dogs and...no...not the cats" Adrien couldn't bear eating his superhero alter ego's namesake.
"I can't eat that kind of lifeform! I need brains to survive!" Venom said.
"This is gonna be hard since Paris saw Cat Noir and Ladybug as symbiotes," Adrien said.

With Marinette, she was still processing more and was forced to eat chocolate macaroons to keep her symbiote from eating people.
"Delicious," Symbug said.
"I'm watching my weight and chocolate is very unhealthy from caffeine," Marinette said.
"The way I see it, I can heal your body from any injury," Symbug said.
"Can you heal my mental state like my anxiety?" Marinette asked, wanting her trauma and anxiety to end.
"Not mental pain," Symbug said.
"That's what I thought. And scaring Lila was something I never intended to do. She's never an honest person but a pathological liar to ruin my life" Marinette dumps all the boxes away.
"I see. And no one will believe her as long as I'm hidden" Symbug said.
"But she can frame me again like last time. No one but me and Adrien know she's a liar. We cannot look bad in front of everyone or she wins" Marinette said.
"Then we give her the creeps to make sure she gets the message. She needs to learn her place!" Symbug said.
"But what if she connects the dots that I am Ladybug since everyone saw you transform me" Marinette said.
"She will think it's her imagination. You saw that skinny boy earlier who didn't believe her" Symbug said.
"Ah, that's just Adrien, a friend of mine," Marinette said.
"I can sense the stress in your voice that you have a crush on him. Pussy!" Symbug said.
"Yes, I do. He's among the few who doesn't believe Lila's lies And please don't call me that!" Marinette said.
"You're still a pussy to never have the guts to confess. Unlike you, I never hesitate" Symbug said.
"Mmhmmm. Well, I need to go out patrolling" Marinette got up, looking at the balcony hatch, "Tikki spots on!" She transformed into Ladybug.
"I must warn you, sound and fire distress me. I'm sure you experienced that before" Symbug said.
"Yes, the loud noises. Like define sounds that you don't like. Sounds are everywhere, even shouting and screaming" Ladybug said before climbing up to her loft bed.
"Loud frequencies like the guitar, honking, and blaring," Symbug said.
"Guitar? Seriously? Guitars make wonderful music" Marinette said.
"The loud ones," Symbug said.
"Right the electric ones," Ladybug said, going out.

With Adrien, he was snoring in his sleep while hearing his father's constant perfection until Adrien woke in a daze. Of course, his father looks disappointed in him for being rude but it was more like his father boring him to death.
"What now?" Adrien groaned.
"You barely ever heard what I said. Lila informed me how you insulted her at school" Gabriel said.
"I didn't. She just made a claim what she saw Marinette as" Adrien said.
"That idiot is not taking your side of the story seriously!" Venom said.
"She said that she saw Marinette turn into some monster, which makes no sense" Adrien explained.
"And honestly, Lila is only making things up just to ruin my social life"
"I am your father and I expect you to treat Lila fairly" Gabriel glared.
"Are you implying that my friend Marinette is a bad person? She won the hat contest and now you think she's a terrible person?!" Adrien stands up so fast with anger.
"She's a bad influence on you," Gabriel said.
"Give me a reason why she is. Is there proof you saw with your own eyes? Don't say you think of what Lila told you" Adrien demanded an answer.
"I am doing what's best for you," Gabriel said, simply not wanting to answer because he had no proof.
"He's stalling! Let me eat his head!" Venom said.
"Hardly" Adrien replied, went back to sleep, not wanting to argue. He can't let his symbiote demand him to eat his father out of anger.
Once Gabriel left, Adrien decided to clear his head as Cat Noir.
"Plagg claws out!" He transformed and headed outside.
"Pussy!" Venom insulting him as a coward.
"Shut up" Cat Noir replied.
"You managed to speak up for yourself but you hesitated," Venom said.
"Because I can't reveal you," Cat Noir said.
Venom comes out from his back, "But I can come out like this"
"Yeah, though we can't let anyone capture you and experiment on you," Cat Noir said.
"But your daddy needs to stop telling you what to do. If I were you, I would eat him" Venom said, slurping his long tongue.
"Not a chance. And definitely not with your tongue like that" Cat Noir looking around for an Akuma, "So far no Akuma" He said.
"Is he driving you crazy again?" Ladybug said behind him.
"AH! Bugaboo!" Cat Noir jumps in fright.
"How much did you hear of it?" He hoped she hadn't heard about the father part.
"I just got here for like 5 seconds," Ladybug said.
"Your pulse is quickening," Venom said.
"Oh, okay" Cat Noir sighs in relief.
"Mine isn't kidding about needing to eat brains to survive but we are not murderers or vigilantes," Ladybug said.
"Food! Now!" Symbug said.
"AGH! Alright!" Ladybug fully transformed into a Symbug and lunged towards a flock of pigeons.
"Move! Out of my way! Where can I find bad guys to eat?!" Symbug asked its host.
"Slow down! We'll get caught in public!" Venom Noir said.
Symbug leaped and she jumped into an alley. Both transform back to blend in without scaring anything in their way like this.
"Okay, Kitty. We need to satisfy our symbiotes" Ladybug said.
"This is so wrong. Why can't they be vegetarians for once?" Cat Noir asked, so not ready to witness the killing.
"I don't know. This scares me" Ladybug said.
"Look what we got here, boys. Kids with costumes. So young that you two never fought real criminals before" The thug with a gun said.
"Don't underestimate the bug and the cat. I got claws and I'm not afraid to use them" Cat Noir acted cocky.
"And beetles can be poisoning sometimes," Ladybug said.
"So back off before I'll scratch" Cat Noir warned.
"Dog smugglers, I smell dog pee on them" Ladybug whispered.
"And now we'll get a bonus," Said one of the thugs.
"Good luck with killing my nine lives but I think curiosity kills you" Cat Noir nearly puts his hands up.
"What are you doing?" Venom asked.
"Intimidating them," Cat Noir said.
Venom made his host put his hands down, "You're looking stupid"
"Stop, we are being cautious or they'll shoot" Ladybug trying to gain control of her own arms.
"Stop fooling around and come quietly or we'll shoot!" The thug demanded.
"Kitty" Ladybug said nervously.
"Stay calm, milady" Cat Noir said.
"Cat got your tongue, pussycat?" The thug slowly draws his blade across Cat Noir's cheek.
"MASK!" Cat Noir shouted.
"COPY!" Venom emerged.
"Biting ass time!" Ladybug shouted.
"Affirmative!" Symbug emerged.
"Holy shit! What the hell are those things?!" The thugs gasped and they fired at them but the bullets did not affect them.
"Bonjour, bitches!" Symbug snarled.
Venom Noir stretched out two tentacles from his body to grab two of them.
"Shit! Shoot them!" The thugs panicked and tried shooting them again.
"Bad move!" Symbug attacked them.
And one to shoot her with a shotgun, causing her to turn and bite his head off. Tossing the headless body against the dumpster covered in flies.
Venom Noir then punched the other thugs away, "Who's a bad boy?!"
"Son of a—!" But the thug got roughly thrown by the symbiotes.
"Such mouthful words that I would eat!" Venom Noir said with a guttural snarl.
"So would I!" Symbug grinned.
"Just hurry it up before I get nightmares!" Ladybug said inside the symbiote.
"Or I'm gonna throw up!" Cat Noir said inside Venom.
The remaining thugs ran away as they transformed into human forms.
