The Web-Slinger Of Paris (Male Reader X Marinette/Ladybug)

Timebreaker AU/A Cat-astrophic Reunion

Scene: Boulangerie Patisserie
"Marinette walks down the stairs and sees her mother."
Sabine: Well? With or without?
Marinette: Uh, with?
Sabine: You're sure it's not better without?
Marinette: Either way, you look perfect, Mom.
Sabine: You know? It's not every day you celebrate your twentieth wedding anniversary.
Tom: *off-camera* Marinette! Could you have a minute, please? *Marinette runs over to him* Well?
Marinette: Well, what?
Tom: My mustache, I groomed it. Is it too short? Should I shave the whole thing off? Maybe it's a little crooked on one-
Marinette: You look perfect, Dad. Uh, except for one thing. *points at his dirty baking apron, which he is still wearing*
Tom: Uh? Thanks, sweetheart. *runs off*
Marinette: *chuckles* No problem Dad! *later, Marinette pushes her parents out of the doors*
Marinette: You're going to be late!
Tom: Now don't forget Mrs. Chamack will be coming by to pick up the Eiffel Tower cake in 30 minutes. I'm depending on you.
Marinette: Yeah, yeah. No sweat, piece of cake. *they leave and Marinette lets Tikki out* Wow, married twenty years. That's pretty cool, huh Tikki? 'I wonder if me and Darling would be together for a long time like that.'
Tikki: Time flies when you're having fun.
Marinette: And stands still when you're doing homework. *Tikki chuckles*

Scene Change: Le Grand Paris.
"Marinette's parents sit down to eat. Tom notices someone and waves and Alix waves back. It's Alix sitting at another table with her father."
Alix: They're Marinette's parents. You know, one of the chicks I hang out with?
Mr. Kubdel: Yes, I remember. They make the best bread in the whole of Paris. *he notices one of Alix's sneakers* Couldn't you have made more of an effort to dress nicely?.
Alix: What do you mean? I took off my cap. *she points to her cap*
Mr. Kubdel: But this is a special day.
Alix: Well, it's only a birthday.
Mr. Kubdel: No, this is a special birthday *reaches inside his jacket pocket and brings out a watch* This family heirloom was made by one of our ancestors many, many years ago. It's been passed down from one generation to the next, on their 15th birthday. And today, it's your turn to inherit it.
Alix: It's pretty sweet, dad. But I've already got a watch, synced up to my smartphone.
Mr. Kubdel: But sometimes there's more to things than meets the eye. Let's just say that our ancestor was... *opens the watch* Ahead of his time. *Alix gasps*
Mr. Kubdel: Of course, I'd understand if you'd rather me buy you a new pair of rollerblades.
Alix: No, Dad! I'm stoked to have it. It's awesome, thank you! *her phone rings*
Mr. Kubdel: Are your friends waiting?
Alix: Yeah, but I don't wanna bail on you. It's cool.
Mr. Kubdel: No, no, go ahead. *Alix stands up and grabs her cap* Now, take good care of it.

Scene Change: Marinette's bedroom
"Marinette is in her room doing homework."
Tikki: Come on Marinette! You can do it! Just remember the formula. Think, Marinette, think!
Marinette: I might be able to do it if you weren't distracting me so much with your encouraging words! *Tikki giggles as her phone rings* Hey Alya. What's up? The what? The bet between Alix and Kim? No, of course, I didn't forget! I already made the banner for it! I know everyone's counting on me. In 5 minutes?! No sweat. I'm on my way already. Be right there! Eek!
Tikki: But Marinette, you have to wait for Mrs. Chamack to pick up her cake!
Marinette: Gahhh! I've got 20 minutes before she gets here. I told them I'd take care of the banner and they're all counting on me! Besides, Darling will be there too!
Tikki: You'll never make it to Trocadéro on 5 minutes, it's way too far!
Marinette: Not too far for Ladybug. *winks* Tikki, spots on!
"Marinette turns into Ladybug without her transformation sequence. She swings away to the Trocadéro, de-transforms, arrives just in time, and shows everyone her banner. Everyone is delighted with it."
Unknown: Oh, that's beautiful!
Y/N: Impressive, Marinette! *winks at Marinette and she giggles in return*
Kim: You all picked the wrong side to cheer on. Looks like Alix isn't even showing up! Probably too chicken to race an extreme athlete like me.
Alix: Spoke too soon, Kim. *everyone cheers her on* Your ridiculous bets are over. I'm gonna leave you in the dust, meathead!
Kim: You're no match for me. My neck is bigger than your thigh.
Alya: *laughs* Is that a good thing?
Marinette: *laughs*
Max: *pushes Kim and Alix away from each other* Let's review the official rules. Two laps around the fountains; approximately 500 yards. The first one over the line's declared the victor! If Kim triumphs, Alix will relinquish her rollerblades to him. If Alix triumphs, Kim will be prohibited from making another dare for the rest of the school year.
Juleka: We're through with all of those stupid dares!
Ivan: Uh-huh, that's right!
Nathaniel: No more dares!
Max: On your marks, get set...
Alix: Hold up! *Kim falls and the students laugh*
Kim: Forfeiting already?
Alix: *gives her watch to Alya* Hold on to this for me, will you, Alya? I don't wanna drop it during the race.
Alya: Hold on girl, I can't! I gotta...
Alix: Guard it with your life. It's a family heirloom!
Alya: But... *gives the watch to Marinette* Marinette, take this. I gotta record the race for my blog!
Max: On your marks, get set... GO!
"Alix and Kim start racing, Kim on foot, Alix on her rollerblades while everyone cheers on."
Marinette: But... she asked you to look after it. I gotta hold up the banner!
"Marinette is suddenly pulled to the side and drops the watch, which falls in slow motion until Y/N catches it."
Y/N: Need any help?
Marinette: Uh... yup! Thanks. Gotta be careful! After all that watch belongs to Alix.
Y/N: Don't worry, I'll hold onto it for the duration of the race.
Marinette: Thanks, Darling. *kisses his left cheek*
Y/N: No problem, Princess.
Max: Last lap!
"Alix and Kim are still racing. They are about to reach the finish line. Alix then got ahead of Kim as she then finished first in the race as everyone cheered for her."
Alix: Yeah! Hahaha!
Juleka: Sorry Kim, but you lose.
Kim: I call a rematch. That false start back there threw me off!
Nathaniel: All's fair in love and war.
Alix: Alya, can I have my watch back?
Alya: But, uh, I gave it to Marinette.
Marinette: I accidentally dropped it, but Y/N caught it and he's holding onto it for you.
Y/N: Here you go, Alix. *gives her the watch back*
Alix: Thanks, Y/N. I wouldn't know what I would've done if I lost it. *puts the watch into her pocket*
Y/N: *to Kim* All right, Kim, you know what you said if you lose.
Kim: Yeah, yeah, I'll stop making another dare for the rest of the school year. *sighs* It's still a cheap win, though.
Alix: Say what you want, Kim, you still lose. So, don't be a baby about it.
Kim: Tsk.
"Everyone else laughed at their exchange."
