Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and... Rena Rouge?

Mixtape - Epilogue

Marinette blinked sleepily, groaning softly as she was awoken from her slumber. She looked around, not recognizing where she was, but before panic could strike, she saw the familiar sight of her girlfriend walking towards her. It was Summer again, a year had passed since the unfortunate series of events and the two girls couldn't be happier. They hadn't changed much personality-wise, maybe growing a bit more aware, but they were still the same people. The same girl the other fell in love with.

Alya was wearing a black and white flannel that wrapped around her waist and acid-washed blue jeans with the occasional hole in the front. She wore a gray tank top with a melting face that was the lesbian pride flag. Marinette wasn't as aesthetically dressed. She wore an oversized tie-dye shirt and black skinny jeans. She hadn't had her shoes on so her bright pink Hello Kitty socks were visible to any bug in the meadows.

"Where'd you go?" Marinette asked kindly. The tan girl smiled, holding out a cassette tape in between her index and middle finger. Marinette pushed herself up, bringing her face close to that of her girlfriends. Alya pecked her on the nose, letting Marinette have her giggle fit before returning to the topic. "What's that for?"

"Happy birthday, mi amor." Despite French also being a Romance language, Marinette couldn't help but become flustered when Alya spoke Spanish (excluding calling people puta...) Marinette reached for the tape. On top was a sticker that - in pink permanent marker - said "For my dearest girlfriend and true love, Marinette." She looked at Alya who had pulled a cassette player from seemingly nowhere. The noirette played the tape. She expected some joke or silly conversation but was surprised with what she got.

Silly Girl by chloe moriondo started playing. It took her a moment before she realised what Alya did. The red-haired teen had made a playlist of songs resembling the two of them. Marinette grinned sheepishly, looking down towards the soft pink blanket. "Thank you, Alys, I love it."

"Of course."

Marinette rolled herself over to her head laying on her girlfriend's thigh. Alya brushed her fingers through the soft black hair, smiling at the music. Marinette's eyes closed, fluttering every so often; her front rose and fell with every intake of breath. Everything in the meadow was peaceful as a trickling river. It felt like nothing could ruin it. Neither girl had high expectations however, they carried the hope that Shadow Moth would take mercy upon Paris if not for the day but for at least another hour. Another hour of soft breezes, the gentle sun kisses, and embraces...

Shadow Moth was slowly losing his mind, mad with power, and soon, he would crack. Ladybug, Rena Furtive, and Chat Noir, the best trio yet, would defeat him and end his reign of profound terror. He can't run forever. He won't run forever.

"Thank you for telling me about Lila... I'm sorry I didn't listen to you before. I was stupid."

Marinette hummed. "I don't blame you, she manipulated a lot of us. Besides, I just didn't have proof."

"Thank Gefion she's not Ladybug. That would've been awkward."

"Yeah, imagine dating your best friend and their enemy!"

Alya cackled, "what in the Wattpad is that shit?!"

Marinette laughed with Alya, enjoying the sound of her girlfriend's awkward but beautiful sound of joy. "Enemies to lovers, mafia boss A.U.!"

When the reign of giggles that plagued their bodies stopped, they held one another gently. "I love you, you know that, macron?" Marinette nodded.

"I love you too, Alys."
