La Red

-.-

D/C: I own nothing.

-.-

"I don't know what exactly is happening, but I sure as hell know enough to know you fucked up!"

Adrien doesn't remember how he ended up on the ground with a blossoming bruise just below his rib cage or how Alix managed to corner him in alone room in the museum. He was just at the location for a photoshoot when Alix came out of nowhere and just dragged him to an empty room. However, when Alix yelled those words at him, it made his blood run cold.

"Agreste, I don't know anything that has been going on but I'm pretty sure you are also involved. I want to know the truth, don't leave anything out sunshine." Alix huffed out, she digs a finger into

Adrien's shoulder at every other word she says. Adrien scrambled to get back up, wincing at the pain. "W-what do you mean? I'm n-not involved in anything!"

Alix did not hesitate when she pressed a finger onto Adrien's side, maintaining eye contact with the blonde. "Sunshine, I said the truth and don't try to deny anything. I am 100% sure you are involved-great Now I sound like Max."

"It's nothing, I promi-ouch!"

"What are you covering up?" Alix questioned, moving into Adrien's personal space once more. "I know it has to do with Lila's lies-"

Panic overtook Adrien. "There is no problem. Lila's lies aren't hurting anyone, really! I'm worried she'll get akumatized again is all. She only needs time, I'm sure that if we show her how to be a good person, she will be a good person in no time."

Pause.

"Are you telling me she gets akumatized for every little thing?" Alix knows some people are capable to fall victim to Hawkmoth's power more than once. But the way Adrien makes it out to be, sound like Lila has been akumatized more than...once. "How many times has Lila been akumatized? How many!"

"Th-three?"

"...All this time you've been worried about her getting akumatized..." Alix said in a low and dangerous voice. She slowly digs her finger into Adrien's side, wondering if his physical pain is the same as Marinette's emotional pain for what she's been going through since Lila came to Paris. "What about the rest of us? Aren't you worried about us getting akumatized too! What about Nino? Or... or Marinette...? Don't they matter to you?"

"O-of course, they matter! It's ju-"

"It's just WHAT Agreste! WHAT?"

Adrien broke eye contact with Alix, unable to think as she continued to press a finger on his side. "Nothing is really going on, really. It's just a massive misunderstanding and it just got out of control between Lila and Marinette."

"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!" Alix yelled, not caring for the fact they were in the museum. She knew the place like the back of her hand and know that the room they were in, is soundproof enough that no one will hear them. "Well?"

Whatever Adrien said next, caused Alix to truly wonder what the hell is going through his mind and how little he thought of the people around him. So little, to the point Alix wondered if he ever learned how to actually be a human being. Adrien's words revolved around with Marinette needs to disprove Lila at every turn. How Lila's small white lies are not hurting anyone, not even by a long shot. It wasn't so much what Adrien is saying that caused Alix to snap, it was his tone.

Adrien sounds like... he was annoyed with Marinette. Even disheartened at the fact Marinette is trying to disprove Lila's words. Those little white lies. WHICH ARE MASSIVE LIES THAT ARE HURTING A LOT OF PEOPLE! "What the hell do you mean, you made Marinette promise to take the fucking high road! You have no right to make her promise you that!"
