After a big fight with Marinette, you befriend the notorious duo and a whole lot of drama unfolds at a crazy party, including some confessions between you and a certain red haired boy...
Your POV~ By now, all of us headed to Chloe's room for the game, half nervous and half excited. We were all wlakign (I'm not fixing that, it's too beautiful) upstairs in our cliques, following Chloe. I was walking shortly behind Mari and Alya, talking with Nathaniel., When suddenly Nino looked up from his phone behind us and blurted,
"Hey Chloe! We should play truth or dare instead of Paranoia!" I lifted my brow and turned my head around.
"Hmm?" I mumbled. It seemed like a much simpler game, and actually more preferable.
"What? That's ridiculo-" Chloe started.
"Ooh! That sounds more fun, actually." Adrien put in, making sure Chloe heard him.
"Oh- um, of course! Truth or Dare is way better anyways!" Chloe exclaimed, walking much faster to her room. I could make out tiny thumping noises coming from her room and scattered footsteps.
"What the-?" I mumbled again.
"Haha, she probably had the whole Paranoia game set up and now she's fixing it." Nathaniel joked. We all shuffled into her large room. The only thing not perfectly organized was the disheveled array of pillows on her huge bed. I snorted as I thought of what Nathaniel said.
"Okay, then! We'll just all sit down, and take turns playing truth or dare. Ummmm. Make yourself at home." She grumbled the last part, only saying it to please Adrien. Nathaniel and I sat on the floor together. He gently tucked my hair behind my ear and looked at me. I blushed and stared at the carpet.
"Hey, sorry Chloe but we gotta head out. Thanks for the fun dance party though!" Mylene interrupted. She and Ivan made their way back downstairs. Chloe shrugged.
"I'll go first!" Chloe exclaimed. "Truth or Dare Adrikins?"
"Um, dare."
"Ooh! I dare you to stand up and come sit by the girl that you would most likely date in the class." She batted her eyelashes, implying herself. Adrien winced.
Adrien's POV~ I didn't want to do it. Marinette had just confessed her feelings to me, and I felt like a damn idiot for what I said. After she left and waved goodbye, I realized with a pang that what I had told Nino was very true. If I hadn't had Ladybug to worry about... I thought about my dilemma. I thought about what Plagg had said to me so many times about Marinette.
Could it be that I liked more than one girl? I didn't want it to be true; I'd feel like a traitor. But as Chloe batted her eyes innocently and silently begged me to come sit by her, I realized that I wanted to go sit by Marinette more than anything. So I got up, and walked over to her, and sat down. I smiled, trying to act cool, but I had no idea what was going on inside of me. My emotions were scrambled up and I was confused. Nino and Alya both raised their eyebrows and Marinette blushed. I didn't want to play with her feelings. I felt bad. But I didn't know what else to do! I just held my breath and willed myself to disappear forever.
After what felt like an eternity, Rose spoke up, but her voice was even higher pitched than normal. I grimaced as Chloe stared at me bewildered, and angry. Guilt of many kinds swept over me, not just from Chloe's glare. I shut my eyes tight, trying to make sense of everything.
"Marinette! Truth or Dare!" Rose squealed. But almost as soon as she had spoken, her voice collapsed and a collective gasp from the room made me open my eyes. Chloe, infuriated, had stormed right over to Marinette and yanked out one of her ponytail ribbons. Half of her hair fell, in a dark blue waterfall. I gasped, half because I was shocked and pissed at Chloe, and half because Marinette's hair was gorgeous.
"Chloe what the hell?" I yelled, standing up, about to grab the ribbon back. But Marinette had already grabbed it, and she was struggling to tug it out of Chloe's grip.
"How could you steal Adrien from me?! I did all of this for him, so that he could see me change, and you had to go ruin it!" Chloe shrieked, pulling on the ribbon.
"I ruined it?! You were the one who came up with the stupid dare! Plus he doesn't even like me that way, he said so himself!" Marinette tugged on her side of the ribbon as well. I winced again. I felt bad. I was the reason this fight was happening! I had to do something! But I had no idea, and my brain was exploding!
Your POV~ "Oh crud! Mari! Chloe, watch out!" I warned them, but it was too late. All in the same instant, two things happened;
Marinette and Chloe tore the ribbon in half,
just as a black and purple akuma settled itself into the fabric.
A purple shape covered each of their abruptly calm faces, and they whispered in unison,
"Of course, Hawkmoth." The black liquid surrounded them and when it disappeared, a strange creature emerged, half resembling Chloe and half resembling Mari.
Chloe's half was wearing an bright yellow, red and orange fire-themed color scheme, and her eyes were a deep red. She was angry and clenched her one fist.
Marinette's half was wearing a dark blue and purple dress, and her face was covered in a sky blue mask. Blue liquid dripped from her dress as she scowled in disappointment. Adrien drew back, horrified and guilty looking.

(Gahhh sorry for the bad pic >inward cringe< hopefully this at least gives you an idea of what they look like)
Suddenly, I felt someone pick me up by the waist and run out of the bedroom. I looked down, panicked, and saw that it was Nathaniel, carrying me out of harm's way.
"Oh my gosh! Nathaniel!" I gasped. He carried me swiftly into a nearby room down the hall and locked the door behind him as he gently set me down. "Thank you." I blushed crimson red as he held my burning, flushed face in his hands.
"Of course. I couldn't bear to see you hurt." He answered. Then he did something that I would never have expected. He kissed me. It was lightly on the lips, but it made my heart explode. My huge crush! The quiet guy with the red hair who had always been there for me, who was shy and adorable. My sweet tomato. (Hehe... *wink wink*)
I didn't say anything, I just blushed and smiled like a doofus.
I really was at a loss for how to react, but a loud uproar right outside the door that was followed by several screams pulled us both out of the moment. Absentmindedly I reached out and hugged Nathaniel, and immediately felt safer. I closed my eyes and hoped that Marinette and Chloe wouldn't have anything against us.
But luck did not favor me. In the next moment, 2 things happened;
1, the newly akumatized split-creature broke down the door, both halves arguing but moving efficiently.
2, a flash of blinding blue and orange colors flew out of each palm of the combined-girls hands and knocked me to the ground. My eyes went dark, and my head felt fuzzy and confused. Within seconds I had fully blacked out, the last ringing in my ears the distant sound of a familiar boy calling my name.
