Miraculous One-Shots (Mostly Angst)

Chats end - pt 1

This one didn't need much work so it's more or less the same, other then the ending. Sorry I didn't fix the pov thing.

TW: Suicide attempt (OD)

~~~~~

(Adriens pov)
Another akuma, another battle, and again I wasn't needed to defeat it. I sighed as I watched the re-run of the fight on tv.

"-once again, Chat noir got hit and Ladybug finished the fight on her own." the reporter said, sounding a bit disappointed in Chat noir. I grabbed the remote and turned the tv off.

"She's right you know. this is the third time this week that-"

"Shut up Plagg!" I shouted at the kwami who, surprisingly, didn't argue and just went back to eating.

I was walking around Paris wishing I could talk to someone- other then Plagg- about Chat noir when I heard screaming:

"Akuma!"

I quickly found a place to transform and headed to where The akuma was. Ladybug was already there when I arrived, and I started to tell her how good she looked today.

"Chat, stop." she said, annoyed and angrily. "why are you even here? it's not like I need you. You've been basically useless all week."

That hurt. I felt my smile fall a little and my eyes begin to fill with tears but he blinked them away and put my smile back.

We quickly defeated the akuma and I left.

Once I was back in my bedroom I de-transform and take my ring off. Plagg didn't argue with my decision. I put the ring back in its box and put the box in my dresser under my clothes.

"If they think that Chat Noir is so useless, then let's see what they do when he doesn't show up," I thought.

(3rd pov)

Two weeks went by and nobody seemed to care that Chat Noir hadn't shown up to help Ladybug. Nobody even talked about him anymore. it was like they had forgotten all about him.

People continued praising Ladybug without even giving a thought to Chat. Not even Ladybug herself seemed to notice his absence.

Adrien sat in his room, staring out the window. his eyes began to wander over to his dresser. He was really starting to miss being Chat Noir, running over the rooftops, the thrill of fighting beside Ladybug- he was even starting to miss Plagg!

"Maybe I should just end it." he thought aloud. He had gotten so used to talking to Plagg that sometimes he would forget he wasn't around and start to talk to him as he always had. This wasn't the first time that Adrien had thought about ending his life. He had been depressed for about two years now, and was planning on killing himself on the day that he had become Chat Noir. Becoming Chat and being allowed to start going to High school stopped him from doing so; but after he stopped being Chat Noir, everything just fell apart for him. His friends started to drift away and the thoughts, which had quieted, came back louder and meaner then ever.

Adrien quickly thought through his options. he could jump, but then again how would he get out of the house? And if he did manage that Ladybug would probably stop him. He could slit his wrists or stab himself but then Natalie would have to clean up after him, and he didn't want to do that to her. The same was true if he were to shoot himself. He didn't have a rope, and even if he did There was really no place to secure it so he couldn't hang himself. Then he thought of what he could do.

He quickly made his way down stairs and into one of the bathrooms, the one with the medicine cabinet. He searched through until he found what he was looking for, and then headed back to his room. He managed to evade Natalie and get back to his room where he quickly locked the door and headed to his own bathroom where he again locked himself in.

I stood in the middle of the room staring at the bottle in my hand. My hands shook as I tried to open it, making it hard to do so. When I finally did get it open, I paused. Did I really want to do this? What about Nino, Alya, Marinette and all my other friends?

"They won't miss you, they never even cared about you in the first place, they were only your friend because you're famous." the thoughts filled my head once again, "Besides, they probably won't even notice you're gone, just like no one noticed when Chat Noir Disappeared."

"You're right. No one cares about me." I said, and lifted the bottle to my lips.

At first, nothing happened. Then I started to feel a burning like acid in my stomach, before long I was on my knees. I was shaking and sweating, I felt incredibly light headed and my ears were ringing. I thought I could hear someone at the door, but they sounded so far away that I couldn't tell. I felt so tired. At some point I must have fallen as I was now lying on the floor. My vision was fuzzy and there were black dots floating before my eyes, another wave of exhaustion, and I let my eyes fall closed. Everything faded away.
