13: Never mess with a baker in her natural habitat
{Ladybug}
I was making a batch of pastries when Adrian came through the door. "Hi," I smiled.
He looked at me and burst out laughing. He pointed to my cheek.
I have flour or something on my face I assume.
I waited patiently for him to stop.
"Come here," I said. He came really close.
"Like that?" He asked.
I nodded and picked up the spare apron and a handful of flour. I shoved the apron and while he was preoccupied with that I threw the flour at him. I pulled of the cat miraculous so it didn't get flour all over it. He looked up just in time and the flour danced around him, falling like tiny flakes of snow, dusting his hair, nose, cheeks and shoulders. He just stood there grinning.
He had an idea.
But her just stood there grinning and flour swirled around him and his attire turned into a white version of Chat Noir's costume. Cataclysm in his hand.
I screamed as he walked closer. I slipped on some flour and fell on my butt. The ring scattered across the floor. The flour stopped moving but Chat hadn't. I scrambled back, breathing heavily.
"No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no," I repeated over and over. He was leaning over my and held my face with the hand that didn't have cataclysm. He held my face and his other hand reached up and touched my cheek. I squirmed in his grip but he kissed me on the lips, I screamed in pain.
"Mari! Mari! It's just me!" Adrian yelled.
I struggled under his grip until I realised it was Adrian holding me not Chat Blanc. I looked around at the bakery, Adrian, Tikki and Plagg were all staring at me, concerned. I slipped out of Adrian's grip and ran into my room so fast even the two Kawamis couldn't catch up to me. I got on my room, locked the hatch door and pushed the chaise on top.
Only then did I let myself cry.
13: Chat Noir
[Chat Noir]
I could hear Marinette softly crying.
What did she see?
I looked around. "Tikki, follow me, Plagg, claws out,"
Tikki followed me, while I climbed up the outside of Marinette's house. I slid into her room. Her eyes followed me and she bolted. "Plagg, claws in, now!"
"Mari, are you okay?" I asked. "Mari..." I trailed off when I looked at her. She had tears sliding down her cheeks, her eyes fear filled eyes.
What had she seen? What did it have to do with me?
"Mari..." I reached out for her and she flinched. My heart tore.
"Leave me alone," She whimpered.
"What happened Mari? Please tell us, if you won't tell me tell Tikki or Plagg," I pleaded. I felt tears slid down my face.
"Chat..." She said.
"What do you mean?"
"Chat Noir, I love you,"
I smiled.
"Chat Blanc, I hate you I hat you and every mind trick you've done! I hate you!" She screamed into my face.
Her words cut my heart into tiny little fragments. "What do you mean, Chat Blanc?!"
"You know very well, very well what you have done!" Her eyes rolled up into her head and her limp body fell into my arms.
