The New Fox Wielder(Miraculous Ladybug AU)

Want to go back

The park was quiet and peaceful, and due to it being Friday in the afternoon, several students were around, just enjoying the peaceful environment and enjoying the fact that they have a few days off.

All except one.

Nathanael, who was sitting alone, away from the rest of his peers, under a tree, in the shaded area, wasn't able to enjoy the peaceful afternoon.

The one that was akumatized a week before was still disturbed by the event.

Never before had he been filled with so much anger and animosity. The fact that he was willing to drown Chat Noir and Marinette left him so horrified that he would get nightmares where they would drown and he would just watch, laughing maniacally, not feeling any remorse.

He had become more closed off to people. People he once spoke to, were now just people he walked by, head low. People he once considered friends, were now strangers to him.

He couldn't forget about what had happened, because unlike others that have been akumatized, he remembered everything.

He remembered the scene in the library. The scene in Marinette's room, where he practically made her go to his birthday 'party'.

A party that was just the two of them.

Nathanael just slouched, hiding his face in his knees.

No matter how much he wanted her to be there, to practically persuade her to go to his pitiful party was just mortifying and embarrassing.

Yet before she arrived, he remembered that Hawkmoth communicated with him through telepathy, and had control over his hand for a split second. The fact that Hawkmoth could control him had filled him with worry then, but now?

He couldn't believe that Hawkmoth had such power, to be able to control his akumatized victims.

And it absolutely terrified him. Which brought anger upon himself, for being so scared, like a little child.

His hands tightened around his knees. He burrowed his face further into his knees.

Ever since he was young, he was the shy one, the loner, the awkward one... the one that was terrified of interacting with people. And it was difficult to live that way.

But that changed when he met Juleka and Rose, who he considered his best friends. They both immediately took a liking to him, and he, surprisingly, was willing to talk to them. They supported him and helped him through tough times before.

But ever since that night, he avoided them.

And it killed him to run away from them, when they just wanted to help him.

No matter how much he wanted to forget, he couldn't.

He let out a small sarcastic laugh.

To think he created Super Nathan, another persona, to make himself a hero, like Chat Noir and Ladybug, only to have himself become a villain.

The irony.

Everything in his life was a mess.

He just wanted to forget that night with his entire being.

He wanted to go back to when he wasn't known as the Evillustrator, he just wanted to be Nathanael, best friend of Juleka and Rose.

He let out a sigh, a tear dripping down his cheek and leaving a spot on his pants.

But that was all wishful thinking.
