In Love with a Criminal *Ladrien Fanfic*

Chapter 3

Normal POV
The next morning came and Adrien and Ladybug were still asleep. Well until Adrien woke up.
"Huh?.... What time is it..." He went to look over at the clock when he noticed Ladybug asleep on his chest, her head nuzzled on his neck. He started to blush. "Oh my god..." is all he could say. "Mmmmgh..Adrien?..." Ladybug said waking up. She noticed the position they were in and smirked.
"Well isn't this interesting~."
She said. She sat up and Adrien did the same. "So is your teacher nice?"
Ladybug asked.
"She can be, unless someone is late why?" Adrien said.
"Well then she's gonna be mad at you."
Adrien looked confused.
Ladybug rolled her eyes and pointed at the clock. Adrien looked over.
"HOLY CRAP IM 30 MINUTES LATE!!"
He sprang out of bed leaving a laughing Ladybug. "I blame you for this!" Adrien yelled from the bathroom. "What are you gonna do Adrien? Get me Agreste-ted?" Adrien poked his head out from the bathroom and glared at Ladybug.
"That was a horrible pun."
She laughed harder. "I should punish you for that horrible pun." Adrien said as he came out from the bathroom all dressed. "Please do Agreste~ Punish me~." Ladybug said with a wink.
Adrien blushed hard. "S-Stop doing that.." Adrien said trying to hide his blush. "Sorry but no. It's funny."
Adrien groans and walks over to where Ladybug was sitting. He kisses her on the forehead and leaves for school Leaving a speechless Ladybug.

At School
When Adrien got to school he entered the class room quietly. "Mr. Agreste, why are you late?" Asked Mrs. Bustier.
"I uh...went to bed late..because of a problem.. sorry ma'am." That problem being Ladybug. "Just take your seat Adrien." Adrien nodded and sat down.
"So dude what was your problem?" Asked Nino. "Let's just say I've been trying to tame someone." Adrien said.
"Class there has been another robbery by Ladybug just now." Mrs. Bustier said in a worried expression. She pulls down a screen and plays the news footage of it on the screen so the class can see.
There is a chase scene happening and Ladybug and the police are in it. And of course, Criminals show up. Ladybug growls. "Back off! This is my heist! I'm giving you a warning!" Yelled Ladybug.
The criminals just continued to follow and they got closer.
She growled again.
Then they tried to take the money from her. She ended up punching them in the face leaving them to get arrested.
"I warned you!" She kept running.
But one criminal didn't give up.
He took out a gun and started shooting at her. She dodged the bullets of course. But one bullets hit the bag of money, causing all the money to fall out. Ladybug looked shocked. She glared at the criminal. She jumped up with the empty bag, and she ran across the roof tops. She ended up escaping. "This was a lucky day for the bank but not so much for the criminals since the money was returned. Police are still on the lookout for Ladybug and the other criminals. Will anything bring back our beloved Ladybug?
And if so please do.." Adrien perked up.
"I'll try." He whispered.
After Class ended he kept thinking about Ladybug. That criminal that stopped her is probably gonna die.
She was pissed at him. Adrien thought.
"Yo dude. I need to ask you something. Come here." Adrien looked confused.
"Ok?" He walked over to Adrien.
"What did you mean by tame someone? Like a criminal?" Nino asked.
Adrien froze up immediately.
"The only criminal that's really known that knows you is....,wait...WAIT!" Adrien stiffened. "Nino I can explain!"
Nino looked shocked. "Uh dude..I already told Alya about my suspicion about it.." now Adrien looked shocked. "So I was right then Nino!" Alya said as she was walking into the conversation.
"You have been talking with Ladybug."
Adrien sighed and nodded.
"Dude why?" Asked Nino.
"I want the old ladybug back! But she's scared to turn back... and something happened to her.. I only know a few things about her. For 1 she doesn't even know Marinette. 2 she's still like the old one but she's different, she has a huge wave of dominance that she got. 3 she's messed up, the other night she had a total break down. And I'm trying to get her back.. and I will. She just needs help." Adrien says. "Then we will help her.. I want her back too Adrien..
I miss Ladybug.." Alya says. Adrien smiles. "Something tells me she's not gone." He points at Ladybug who's giving more money and food to a homeless family. Alya smiles and takes a picture of it. "She really is still there..." she looks at Adrien. "Bring her back. I know you can Adrien." Adrien nods.

That Night
Adrien POV
I need to find a way to get her back. But how? I stand up and I pace around. "What do I do?"
I stop walking and I look up at a picture of my mother.
"What would you do?" I feel my eyes tear up. What would you do....
I feel arms wrap around my neck and grab my hands. "Huh?" I feel a head nuzzle my back.
I look at the hands I'm holding and they are red with black spots.
Ladybug.
"Hey you ok Adrien?"
She asks. I sigh. "Yeah...I'm ok..just thinking.." Ladybug lets go of me and turns me so I face her. I turn away.
I feel a hand on my cheek. "Adrien.."
I look at her. Her face is full of concern.
She really does care for me.
"Adrien please tell me... what's wrong?"
I want to tell her. But I can't.
"I just...miss my mother..."
Ladybug suddenly gave a sad face. I look away. I suddenly feel arms around me. I open my eyes and I feel Ladybugs
Warm embrace. She's hugging me.
"Don't be sad Adrien...I'm here.."
Ok I have to ask her. "Hey Ladybug... can you do something for me?....please?" She pulls away from the hug and caresses my cheek. "Of course.." Ok..moment of truth. She's probably gonna argue.
"Do you think you could take a break from crime?" I look at her and she looks shocked. She looks away. "Please?..." I ask her once more. I grab her hand and caress it. "You don't understand Adrien...Being a criminal is the only thing that distracts me from....." She looks away and her eyes tear up. "From what?.." I lean in concerned. "From..this..Tikki arm piece off.." the suit that forms on her arms disappear and I gasp. "You....you cut yourself?...." I feel her arms and she winces. I grab the medical kit and I bandage her arms. "Ladybug why do you do this?" I ask her. "I'm sorry...I just...so much has happened...and I'm just so messed up...with all that's happened, I....It was the only thing That made me relaxed...but I knew it was bad..so Instead of fighting crime......I became the one who caused it..." She looked down. She's so upset.. "well you don't have to do either.. you can be relaxed without pain... you can start over! You don't have to do any of this.
You have me... and I'll never leave you." She hugs me. "Ladybug let me ask you something. Are you happy and relaxed with me?" I ask. "Yes! Yes! I am! I haven't been this happy in forever! You make me so happy Adrien." She really feels that way about me? Wow..
"Then do you need to do this?" I ask her. "No.. but I'm scared to go back to my real home and well ex-friends... "
She rubs her arms.
"Ladybug.. What happened.."
