Vanished (Lukadrien) • Miraculous Ladybug

Chapter 60 | mistakes

"DAMNIT LILA- I told you not to act without a plan. Thanks to your jealousy Ladybug was able to figure things out way too quickly. She was able to defeat the sentimonster in minuets and now she knows the holder of the peacock is likely a student because you were STILL IN SCHOOL!"

"Shut UP FELIX! I know I fucked up and took risk. But I can't STAND that Luka kid..."

Felix sighed in frustration, the only reason he got Lila in on this was because she was a good liar and can manipulate people around her, which is useful for his plan.

"Listen Lila, I already told you that Adrien is so hung up on Luka there's now at you'll get him. I let you in on all this because I promised you squashing Ladybug, not Adriens heart. What do you see in my cousin anyway? Literally every girl in Paris is obsessed with him you're not special. Plus, he's all over Luka and no amount of your lies will pry him off the boy" Felix rambled.

"I want to crush Ladybug and show everyone that I deserve the spotlight! That's why I agreed to this. I promise" Lila replied.

Felix knew that may be her main reason, but her superficial crush on Adrien was getting in the way and lead to her fuck up. Thanks to her Ladybug now knows more about the current holders than she should. Felix found Lila quite annoying, but she was essential to the plan. Her manipulative nature was a perfect weapon, her jealousy was her weakness.

"If we make this work then I can prove to the world I'm not just some cousin living in Adriens shadow, and I'm not a puppet for Gabriel to use. This is my ultimate revenge. And you get your share by defeating Ladybug. DON'T do that again. DON'T mess this up for us!" Felix snapped.

"I KNOW. Look I messed up this time. But I won't happen again, in fact I have an idea..."

Adrien had no idea that conversation was happening at his old house, but he definitely know who the holders were. And he had a counter attack idea...

If the whole world is looking for the missing miraculous, then there's no way they can keep hiding.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Luka asked.

"Trust me honey it'll work. It'll scare them into acting out and we can take advantage of that" Adrien replied.

They sat in front of the computer, typing up an anonymous tip to the police.

They were going to leak Gabriel being the original Hawkmoth to the public, as well as the body in the basement. That would cause an outcry, and the public would be on the look out for the new hawkmoth and his accomplices in retaliation. They made sure to keep Nathalie out of it, since she'd ended up changing sides and helping Adrien in the end. They'd lie about being an anonymous construction worker that has done repairs on the Agreste mansion and found everything out, to avoid suspicion that Adrien was in on it. Then even the media inevitably came to Adrien with questions, he'd act shocked and devastated.

He was shocked and devastated when he found out after all, he knew what it felt like.

"There, give it a few days and the trap will be set" Adrien said, pressing send and watching the tip load off to the police.

"If this works you're a genius" Luka replied.

"It'll work. Just give it a few days"

Sitting back in his chair, he turned to face Luka who sat on his bed. They'd spent the night together before, but this was the first time since things had gone back to relatively normal. It felt kind of like a sleepover this time.

"So now that's done, and the kwami are occupied what should we do for the rest of the day?" Adrien asked.

Plagg and sass had quite liked the idea of having their own dollhouse to live in since Delilah made that doll bed for Plagg, the two were busy looking at dollhouses using Lukas phone. Cut off by a knock on the front door of the apartment, they got up to answer finding Lilith behind it.

"Oh hi, what's up?" Adrien said.

"You two wanna spray paint some stuff? Delilah's gone on a 're-colour all the furniture' mission" she asked.

Well, that definitely seemed fun and gave them something to do.

"Sure, what are we painting?" Adrien replied.

They followed her across the hall into her apartment where Delilah has gotten out boxes of spray paint and taken all the dining chairs out from under the table. And before they knew it they'd gone onto the rooftop with chairs, spray paint and a mission to turn everything green.

"They're so fun, you're lucky you got such good foster parents" Luka commented, shaking the spray can.

"I know, I guess the parent gods smiled on me this time. This black cat broke his bad luck streak" Adrien replied, spraying down a chair.

"You think Delilah will get paint all over the floor decorating the table even though Lilith said not to?"

"Definitely, their floor is always a mess of paint or glitter. The amount of craft projects she does is enough to make a whole art gallery out of"

Adrien was lucky enough to have very creative and go with the flow people as foster parents. Open minded, accosting, loving and artsy. Exactly what he'd always needed and was unfortunately never able to have until now. Adrien wasn't their child by blood but they treated him like he was, and treated Luka like their future son in law.

"She said we can paint patterns on them too if we wanted, got any ideas?" Luka asked.

"Hmm... not really, I feel like it should match the green though" Adrien replied.

"I have an idea, let's dip our hands in paint and make hand prints on the back. They've cared for kids like you before so maybe we can make our mark this way, the last person they took in and helped grow up did art for them so we should too"

"Hey good idea. I wanna meet the others they'd cared for too honestly, see where they are in life now..."

"If they're anything like you, I bet their wonderful people" Luka complimented.

Lilith and Delilah has made it clear that Adrien didn't need to do anything to thank them, but they'd done so much for him he felt in debt to them like he should be doing as much as he could to thank them. Maybe making some art for them would be a good way to do that since they adored crafts so much. Luka was always full of good ideas, that's why Adrien loved him.

"I hope the other tenants of the apartment aren't annoyed by all the noise we're making" Adrien said, shaking another paint can.

"If they signed up live here, they knew what they were in for moving into a place owned by Lilith an Delilah" Luka laughed.

"True, I hope no one has accidentally seen us transform or anything"

"If they did we'd be all over the news" Luka replied, tossing the empty spray can aside and getting another from the box.

Doing crafts on the rooftop with his boyfriend was exactly the calm Adrien needed today after the run in with Lila and the sent monster attack. It was like being in art class messing around again, just having fun with people he liked and being creative. In fact, the more he'd grown away from his fathers controlling grip, the more creative he'd become.

He was finally able to let out all the pent up ideas and get his model perfect hands dirty to make something.

Maybe... maybe he should be an artist after school?

"Oh! We should paint the logos of all the miraculous holders on one of the chairs" Adrien suggested.

"I call dibs on doing yours"

"Fine the I'll do yours!"
