Abejou [Nathaniel x Bee!Reader]

"I'll only reverse the mayor if I have Cat Noir and Nathaniel. Then I'll reverse Nathaniel, and he'll have no choice but to make a comic book with me!"

The four teenagers stood beneath the Eiffel Tower with the sun setting behind their backs. A ground-prone Ladybug and blanket-bound Cat Noir were staring up at the supervillain in dismay, both at a loss for words. The girl in red looked over at the boy in question, who had his head ducked behind the Lucky Charm she had called moments before. She seemed to be at a standstill, her eyes narrowed.

The short teen girl beside her quickly grabbed onto her wrist. "You can't send them up there!" She said, voice lined with worry. "There's no way he'll keep his word!"

Ladybug took a glimpse at the worry in her eyes, giving a small sigh. "I know, it's risky. But my Lucky Charm relies on this. There isn't any other way while we're in this state."

"Then let me go too! I can't let him do any more damage."

"No, it's too dangerous for a citizen, Alix!"

Cat Noir looked at Ladybug, his wide eyes nearly brimming with tears as the ears on his head dropped downwards. "M'Lady, please don't make me go. I-I can't do this, I know it'll only get worse."

Nathaniel also looked over, lowering the stack of bamboo he held. "And I don't want to be reversed. I-I didn't mean for this to happen, I swear, but I don't want to work with him like this."

Ladybug's mask furrowed where her eyebrows were, glancing around in desperation. She knew this plan was her best shot, but she couldn't just send them as hesitant as they were. It wouldn't be right, but she didn't have the time to debate this.

"What's it gonna be, Lady-Klutz?" The black-and-white villain called out, a wide smirk on his face as he crossed his arms from atop his giant paper airplane. "The city, or two people?"

Ladybug growled, lowering the traffic cone she used as a megaphone- just to have it slip from her hands and topple to the ground. She stood in annoyance and frustration, her hands to her temples as she thought. She looked upward, the twinkling of oncoming trashcans growing in the dimming sky. To the villain, who was only a shy author who wanted to try something different that morning. To her partner, who feared for his life more than ever. And to Nathaniel, who was only here because his dreams got in the way of reality. He didn't want to hurt anyone, he was just tired of being hurt himself. He was tired of it. No one pulled him from it. No one, but...

Ladybug gasped. She quickly held up her yoyo, nearly dropping it in the process, and pulled up the message feature, typing quickly while Alix held up her traffic cone once again to let Ladybug verbally confirm the agreement with Reverser. She didn't want to have it come to this. Not to a rookie, and not this soon. Not this direct to a villain with a power so devastating. But she didn't have a choice.

[(Y/n), meet back at the Eiffel Tower. We need your power after all.]

"Ladybug's Diary?!"

Earlier that day, Nathaniel sat beside his friend during their shared Lunch period, with the girl leaning over his shoulder in surprise. Nathaniel looked at her with a bright smile, nodding furiously.

"Isn't it amazing? I can't believe Marinette got her hands on it!"

"That's so cool!"

She grinned as she skimmed some of the pages that went into detail about Ladybug's frustration with Cat Noir's puns and the Lucky Charm she used that day. Everything was detailed so well that it had to be true.
