The Love Catcher

*BEFORE YOU START READING, THIS STORY TAKES PLACE BEFORE THE EVENTS OF MIRACULOUS LADYBUG SEASON 2. SO THE CHARACTERS INTRODUCED SEASON 2 DO NOT EXIST AT ALL! ALSO, NATHANETTE HATER? GO AWAY! I AM A MULTISHIPPER. DEAL WITH IT! OKAY I'M DONE NOW!*

it was a new school year at Collège Françoise Dupont. it was also close to the one year anniversary of when Nathaniel was akumatized into Evillustrator.
"*sigh* a new year, a new me" Nathaniel though to himself as he walked into the school and to his brand new classroom.
Nathaniel was sadly no longer a student in Miss Bustier classroom since he is no longer in the 8th grade. he is now in the 9th grade and in his final year at Collège Françoise Dupont.
Nathaniel took a deep breath, then he exhaled. "alright Nathaniel, let's do this" Nathaniel says before walking into his new classroom.
Nathaniel opened the doors to his new classroom and he entered. he also was not looking where he was going and he bumps into someone. he dropped all his books and drawing supplies as he fell "ouch! oh my gosh, i am so sorry! i was not paying attention and i-" Nathaniel says before someone started to laugh at him. he turned red as a tomato because he was so embarrassed. but he also felt like crying. but he held the tears back.
Nathaniel picked up his books and art supplies and then he sat down at the back of his new classroom.
"Chloe, that wasn't very nice!" says a familier voice
"ugh whatever Dupain-Cheng!" Chloe says to the person who was talking to her.
"no it's not "whatever Dupain-Cheng!" it should be "oh Nathaniel, i am so sorry for laughing at you"" says the girl who just happens to be Marinette.
Nathaniel looks over and sees Marinette and he then zones out well lovingly staring at Marinette "oh Marinette, i wish i could talk to you and tell you how i feel" Nathaniel says in his head.
then the bell rings and it scared Nathaniel and he let out a little startled noise and then everyone stared at him. he says sorry and then he tried to hide his face in his arms by burying his face into his arms.
class goes by fast or at least to Nathaniel. but he payed zero attention to the lesson and payed more attention to Marinette. he even drew a few sketches of her in his sketchbook. he wished he could tell Marinette his true feelings.
after school, Nathaniel decided to go buy Marinette a presant to show how much he loved her. he had baught her a locket necklace that was shaped like a heart. he also baught a pink envalope and a few heart shaped stickers because he was going to write her a love confession letter too.
after Nathaniel left the store, he got on the city bus and went home.
once he got home, he was greeted by his parents and siblings. Nathaniel said hello and then he kicked off his shoes and went to his room with his messenger bag that he uses as a school bag. Nathaniel wrote his love letter to Marinette and then he got called down for dinner. he went downstairs to go eat because he was actually very hungry that night.
after dinner, Nathaniel went back to his room to finish with his letter and to wrap up Marinette presant he baught her. after doing all that, Nathaniel yawned as he was tired and it was getting late.
he decided to call it a night. so he changed into his pyjamas and he got ready for bed. after getting ready, Nathaniel plopped into his bed and he went right to sleep.
the next morning, Nathaniel woke up because his alarm went off and he crawled out of bed and he went to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
once he was ready and dressed for the day, Nathaniel went downstairs after grabbing his messenger bag and his letter and presant for Marinette.
"morning sleepy head" says Nathaniel's mom "*yawn* morning" Nathaniel says with a yawn while rubbing his eyes in a sleepy way.
Nathaniel grabbed a fruit salad his mom made from the fridge to eat for breakfast. he enjoyed his moms food very much. he also had gotten himself a glass water as well and then he sat down at the table to eat his food.
"did you sleep well?" his mom asks while doing the dishes
"i sure did. it was the best sleep i had in years" Nathaniel says
"that's good!" Nathaniel's mom says
"were you dreaming about that lovely girl Marinette last night?" Nathaniel's mom asks
"m-mom!" Nathaniel says as he turned as red as a tomato
"i'll take that as a yes" Nathaniel's mom says
Nathaniel tried hiding his face
"honey, you need to tell her sometime" Nathaniel's mom says
"but i'm too scared! what if she doesn't love me back? what if she loves some else? what if-" Nathaniel says before being interupted
"Nathaniel! sweetie, calm down. i'm sure it will all go well" Nathaniel's mom reassures him.
Nathaniel realizes she is right and tries to calm down. once he was calm, he finishes his breakfast and he gives his mom a kiss goodbye and then he left to go catch the city bus so he could get to school. Nathaniel just about missed the bus, but he made it just in time.
once he was got on the bus, he sighed as all the seats were taken. but this was normal. he grabs onto a pole to keep himself steady while during the ride.
once the bus stopped close to the school, Nathaniel got off and he walked the rest of the way to school
once he got to school, he saw Marinette right away and he walked up to her with a smile. but then.... he saw another boy holding Marinette's hand. his heart had shattered into a million pieces and he ran away while crying.
he had sat down with his back against a tree trunk. he was holding the necklace he was going to give to Marinette "*sob* that was *sob* that was supposed to be you and me Marinette! that was supposed to be you and me!" Nathaniel says before he started to bawl his eyes out.
then Hawkmoth saw this from secret lair. "ah a heart that was shattered to a million pieces by seeing the one you truely love being in love with some else. this boy is perfect for my little akuma" then Hawkmoth turns one of his butterflies into an evil one called an akuma. "fly away my little akuma and mend his broken heart!" Hawkmoth says to the butterfly as he flew away.
the akuma is seen flying through Paris and then he flew into Nathaniel's heart shaped locket he was going to give Marinette. then the Hawkmoth mask appears around Nathaniel's eyes.
"Love Catcher, i am Hawkmoth. i saw that you had your heart broken by seeing your crush Marinette in love with another boy. well i can help you by getting your revenge. i am giving you the power steal away as much love as you can and keep safe inside that lovely necklace of yours. once you've collected enough love, you can give it all to Marinette so she can love you. but once you've done all that, i will ask in exchange for giving you power, i would like you to get me Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculouses. do we have a deal?" Hawkmoth says.
"it's a deal Hawkmoth! i will do anything to make Marinette love me!" Nathaniel says and then he turns into Love Catcher.
Love Catcher sees a couple that is clearly in love and he walks over to them while holding his locket open in front of them and he says "give me your love!" and then the couples love for eachother gets stolen and kept safely in Love Catcher's love locket "thank you for your love! bye bye now!" Love Catcher says with a smile then he left the now non loving couple behind.
Love Catcher then went around the school to steal more love. as he did, Marinette walked over as she heard the commotion from Love Catcher's love stealing
"what's going on here?" Marinette asks "oh Marinette! just the girl i wanted to see! i'm taking all this love from every couple i see so i can give it all to someone very special. can you guess who it is?" Love Catcher says
"i don't know who you are, but please stop what you're doing! this isn't the way to do it. i'm sure this was all a misunderstanding!" Marinette says
"Marinette, it's me, Nathaniel! don't see why i'm doing this?! i'm doing this all for you! it's to make you love me because you love someone else! that boy should've been me! it should've been me Marinette!" Love Catcher says as tears that looked like broken hearts streamed down his face.
"Nathaniel? is that really you?" Marinette asks
"yes Marinette! it's me! i've collected enough love so that you can love me and only me!" Love Catcher says as he started to open his love locket to give all the stolen love to Marinette so she can love him.
"Nathaniel! no! don't do this! that wasn't love! i was helping someone who was lost and scared! that boy was new here and he was a special needs student! so i had to help lead him to the classroom for students with special needs! i only held his hand because he was scared so i held his hand so he would be less scared! do you understand?" Marinette says to Love Catcher
the Love Catcher closes the love locket and looks at Marinette.
"so.... you were just helping a special needs student who was scared so you held his hand to keep him calm?" the Love Catcher asks
"yes Nathaniel. that's what happened" Marinette says.
the Love Catcher the opens his love locket and says "release all the love i stole back to everyone i stole it from!" and then all the stolen love went back to its rightful owners.
then the Love Catcher says "it was all a silly misunderstanding Hawkmoth! i don't need your power anymore *screams*" then the akuma flies out of the heart shaped locket and the Love Catcher turns back into Nathaniel.
then Nathaniel looks at Marinette and then says "i-i'm sorry.... i'm so sorry for all the trouble i caused over a silly misunderstanding...." Nathaniel says as he started to tear up.
then he felt his tears being wiped away "hey, it's okay Nathaniel. it's not your fault. in fact, it's no ones fault. you just mistook me helping a lost boy for a boyfriend" Marinette says
Nathaniel sniffled and then said "i really meant it when i said i loved you. but i know you love Adrien...."
"oh don't worry Nathaniel. i'm over Adrien now." Marinette says with a smile
Nathaniel blushed and hands Marinette the necklace and the love letter.
Marinette took and read it.
the letter read;
"my dearest sweet blueberry muffin Marinette. i know we don't know eachother very well, but i have a confession to make. ever since we were in kindergarden, i've loved you ever since you walked into the classroom and sat next to me on the carpet. i've always wanted to tell you, but i was way too shy to even talk to you. but yesterday, i got you a special presant to show how much i love you. and i obviously wrote you this letter. Marinette Dupain-Cheng, will you please accept my confession and will you please be my girlfriend? it's okay if you say no.... i won't be upset. but if you say yes, it would make me so happy! love, Nathaniel Kurtzburg"
after reading the letter, Marinette says "oh Nathaniel.... yes! yes i'll be your girlfriend! mwah!" Marinette then kisses Nathaniel on the cheek. Nathaniel blushed and he puts his hands on Marinette's face and he kisses her lips and then says with happy tears streaming down his face "thank you! thank you so much!" and then the episode ends with Nathaniel and Marinette looking happy together.
the end.
