CHAPTER 3
THIRD PERSON:
"I'm fine, Ladybug--" He was cut off by the sound of him coughing blood. "No, you dumb ass! You're hurt, like, really bad!" Ladybug said, pulling him back down, closer to her, Chat Noir did not expect that. "No, I'm okay, really," He said, letting out a chuckle, but instead; a trickle of blood rolled down his chin from his mouth as Ladybug's eyes widened. "Nope! Not letting you do that." Ladybug said as she stood up, she grabbed Chat Noir's hand and pulled him into an alley way.
Chat Noir put his blood covered hand against the wall, breathing heavy. Ladybug looked at his hand that were on the wall and her eyes widened. "What? Blood?" She whispered and she inspected Chat's body, looking for the source, then she gasped as she saw the blood oozing out of a cut in his stomach, the results of the cataclysm. "Holy shit, bitch!" She shrieked, she saw he was having trouble standing so she held him up, he looked pale, tiered. "I'm fine, Bugaboo. It's nothing I can't handle." He said. Is it bad that he was enjoying the pain?
What is wrong with me! Why am I happy about being cataclysmed?
"Are you sure? Once I do my miraculous ladybugs you'll be okay!" Ladybug said, breathing heavily as she held him up, getting his blood all over herself, she was freaking out, if he died she'd probably kill herself.
"Yes! I'm okay! I'll--" He said, pausing, falling to his knees as he coughed blood uncontrollably. "Shit!" She screamed as she fell to her knees with him, patting his back as he coughed, he stopped, breathing heavily, holding his stomach. "I'm fine," He smiled at her, blood on his chin. Ladybug squeezed her eyes closed, and then nodded. "Don't move! Stay here, keep pressure on the wound, I'll save you my sweet chaton." Ladybug said and she ran away, going to defeat the villain.

Ladybug looked at Rena Rouge, thanking her, then took her miraculous. She clutched her lucky charm in her hand, it was duck tape, it was odd, she didn't have to use it. She ran back into the alleyway and saw Chat Noir sitting there, his back leaning up against a wall, his head hung down, his eyes closed, blood all over her. Ladybug gasped, she ran up to him and went on her knees, she lifted up Chat Noir's head, his eyes shut, his ring beeping. "Chat Noir!" She screamed as she checked his pulse-- Ladybugs eyes widened as there wasn't a pulse-- he wasn't breathing. Chat Noir was dead.
She backed away slowly, as soon as Ladybug let go of his head it hung back down-- Ladybug clutched her lucky charm tightly, a tear slowly rolled down her cheek, then another, then another. She threw the lucky charm in the air, "Miraculous Ladybug!" She screamed, louder then ever, all her anger going into the screamed, all of Paris heard her screamed. The ladybugs surrounded Chat Noir, she ran up to him and held his head up high.
The blood on Chat Noir disappeared and he started breathing again, he lifted his head up slowly, his eyes widened and Ladybug started smiling uncontrollably. "Chat! My God!" She screamed, giggling as she hugged him tightly, Chat Noir just sat there, not even hugging her back.
"Are-- Are you alright? Are you hurt?" She said, pulling away from him and inspecting him. Chat Noir slowly stood up, he was fine, completely fine, and he hated it. "I'm good." He said, nodding as a smile appeared on his face. "Thank God." She sighed in relief. "I-- uh, gotta go," He said slowly, extending his staff, ready to jump off. "You sure you're good?" "I'm fine." He said right before leaving.
__________
Adrien stared at himself in his mirror. He was tiered, just plain tiered. Plagg sat outside eating cheese, Adrien slowly closed the bathroom door.
Adrien looked at his phone, it started ringing, Nino. "Hey dude, wanna see if you're old man'll let you hang out?" Nino said, sounding happy as usual, Adrien hated it. He was always so happy-- effortlessly happy, while Adrien had to pretend to be happy. "I don't think I can today, Nino. You know how it is-- Photo shoot after photo shoot!" Adrien giggled, staring at himself in the mirror, the phone was on the bathroom bench and on speaker.
"Oh man! Alright, call me later, bro!" Nino said, Adrien hung up the phone, tears brimmed his eyes, he hated it. Everything. He turned to the knife on his bench. The knife had dried blood on its edge, from the last time he'd cut himself, he picked it up slowly, rolled up his sleeve, then placed the edge of the knife over an old scar that he'd given himself, he took a deep breath in.
"Adrien? You alright in there?" Plagg said, his voice becoming muffled through the door. "I-- Yeah! I'm good!" He said, putting down the knife, resisting his urge, he opened the bathroom door as he rolled down his sleeve, he then walked over to his bed and got in it, covering himself with every blanket and pillow on his bed.
"It's four thirty in the afternoon, Adrien?" Plagg said, becoming worried, he'd been sleeping a lot lately, he'd been talking less, smiling less and making less of an effort to hang out with his friends. "I know what time it is, Plagg, thank you for stating the obvious." Adrien rolled his eyes, covering his head in the blanket, closing his eyes.
__________
"Chat nearly died today, Tikki, DIED! He did die!" Marinette screamed, freaking out. "If I hadn't have been there to throw my lucky charm he'd be dead right now!" She continued, breathing heavily. "Calm down, Marinette. You were there, and you saved him, who cares if he was dead, he's alive now." Tikki said, trying to calm her down, but it wasn't working all that well.
"You're not helping." Marinette said. "Why don't you get some rest, Marinette?" "Yeah-- Good idea, Tikki."
