Monarch, To the Rescue! (A Miraculous Ladybug x Reader Story)

Chapter 5

~Adrien's POV~

Okay, so now all I have to do is get her to answer her phone, simple...right? I mean, if I can save Paris, I can text a girl. Easy peasy, pumpkin peasy...pumpkin pie! [I'm sorry I couldn't resist] 

Adrien: about lila, can we talk for a bit? i didnt mean to come off as rude, but maybe if we spoke over the phone or something...we could clear things up?

(Y/N): Read-5:40

I sighed. I should have known she wouldn't have answered, maybe if I had-

Incoming Call-(Y/N)

I quickly answered the phone, relieved but also nervous.

"H-hello," I stuttered, embarrassing myself. I just didn't understand it-as Chat Noir I could be suave and use lame puns and pickup lines, and maybe if I really tried, even as Adrien, but there was something about (Y/N) that was different. Something that made me feel excited, but a little self-conscious. I knew if I tried to use a pickup line right now, I would end up in a stuttering mess, unable to assemble a single sentence. 

"Why hello, Adrien. So, you want to talk about Lila? It isn't to diss her again, I hope?" Her words came off cold, heartbroken even. I hadn't realized they were so close. I mean, (Y/N) had just moved to Paris, so of course I wouldn't have known- but still. 

"No- it's nothing like that! I'm sorry (Y/N), I really am, but she lied to the whole school! As I said before, she lied to me about knowing Ladybug, and here, if you wanna have a good repu-"

"No, Adrien! She wants friends, and you just blatantly ignoring her like that is rude and I won't stand for it," she snapped, annoyed. "If you could just look at it from her point of view-"

"(Y/N), she was akumatized."

She went silent, probably lost in thought. I had noticed she tended to zone out in class, and that's what I liked about her. I often thought about what she thought about. Occasionally, I'd see her think, write a few things in her notebook, and zone out again. I always just assumed she was writing song lyrics, because she wouldn't let anyone see inside. 

I soon realized she probably didn't even know what an akuma was. We had only had one since she moved, and that wasn't even near the school. That was the same attack where Ladybug and I met Monarch, during the fight with Screeching Willow. 

"So ignoring her is going to help her heal, get over the guilt of becoming akumatized? I don't know what you were taught, but where I'm from, you help them to become better people," she snarled. I was taken aback by her tone, but I wanted to get my point across.

"(Y/N) I-" I couldn't get a word in because on the other side of the phone I heard a scream.

"Look, I gotta go," she said quickly before hanging up.

Wow, short chapter! I'm sorry guys, but I really wanted to get a chapter out, so y'know.

I was also thinking about putting this story on hold until Season 2 of Miraculous comes out, so I can get back into it, so I'm sorry if I don't update for awhile.

Cheers, 

MK
