I Love you Both

Chapter thirteen- Bye Bye Little Butterfly

     Someone came up behind Luka before he could do any more damage, and hit him over the head with a chair, knocking him unconscious. It shocked Adrien to see Luka fall to the ground and parts of a chair fly everywhere, almost hitting him in the face. 

     Marinette stood above the fainted villain, chair leg still in her hand. How hard had she hit him? She was breathing heavily, the hit seeming to have tired her out. She dropped the piece of wood to the floor, becoming increasingly aware of the situation she had just caused, but she saw the man she loved in danger and she leaped into action.

     "Marinette?!" A huge smile appeared on his face, "You're awake! You have no idea how happy I am to see you." He wrapped his arms around her, afraid he'd lose her again if he let go. The only reason he did let go how was of the sound of footsteps that came up behind them. He turned around and saw an old friend of his (wearing a wedding dress?) walking up to them with her right fist clenched.

     She came up to them, grabbed Marinette's hand, gently placed her earrings in her palm, and walked away, leaving the two completely bamboozled on how she even got them in the first place. Remembering the task at hand, she put her earrings on, called out her transformation words, and became Paris' favorite hero again.

     She walked over to Luka and checked in both his pockets, feeling something small and thin, she grabbed it and saw a picture of herself and Luka back when they were in high school, having the time of their life. She smiled sadly and ripped the photo in half, the Akuma quickly flying out.

     After capturing it, she let the now purified butterfly roam free, and she threw her yo-yo in the air yelling out the words that turned everything back to normal.

     Agent Heart-break transformed back into Luka, and he held his head in his hands, trying to remember the events of the last few... weeks? He groaned, "What happened?" He asked to no one in particular, Ladybug looked down at him with a genuine smile, and handed him the photo back. 

     When he saw Ladybug and Cat Noir standing in front of him, he figured what had happened and sighed. He didn't like that he had gotten akumatized, but he knew that Hawkmoth fed off of negative emotions and it's impossible to not feel down at some point, even a fake smile can't hide it. 

     He took the photo from her hands and looked down at it. "I'm so sorry Ladybug, I just have been so lonely, I guess I started to miss Marinette, and it brought back some old feelings." Ladybug put her gloved hand on his shoulder and nodded at him, letting him know everything was okay. 

    With the picture in hand, he got up and walked out of place, heading back to his dorm. Ladybug called the detransformation words right as Kagami came around the corner, but luckily she didn't see Marinette. 

     Adrien quickly made his way over to her. "Kagami, are you alright?" She looked down at her dress, and at everything around her.

     "Why am I in a wedding dress, and where am I?" Adrien glanced at her and back at Marinette, she shrugged her shoulders, indicating she didn't know what was wrong, sure Adrien didn't  remember much of what went down, but he recalled bits of it.

     "You don't remember?" Kagami shook her head, peering intently at him, obviously looking for some sort of answer. Adrien just chuckled nervously, knowing that if Kagami knew what had actually happened, she would try to twist it into them ending up together again and who knows how long it would take for him to convince her that they were not going to work out, and the fight wasn't worth it.

     "Let's leave it that way." He patted her on the shoulder, giving her fake smile. He didn't miss the laugh Marinette made behind him, he shot her a glare, but she feigned innocence. Seeing Kagami walk away he went back over to Marinette.
