Crushes and crushed hearts~ A Miraculous ladybug fanfiction (editing currently)

The Cat and his sixth sense

Adrien's/ Chat Noir's POV:

Once again, Adrien cursed his luck. Upon hearing the words "Adrien. Are you ok?" he knew he had given himself away. He perked up and smiled, "Yeah! Don't worry! I'm fine Prin- er- I mean, Marinette!" He said quickly, mentally reprimanding his inner Chat Noir for making him royally mess up. Marinette simply stared at him, making him nervous before she turned away from him. Once again, he thought about Nino's random memory loss and how he changed his mind and looked at the subtle changes in both Nino's and Marinette's attitudes. It seemed... strange. His mind wandered off as he considered the clouded eyes of his best friend and his princess. Peter couldn't possibly have done this, could he? Was Peter some sort of Akuma? No, he and his Lady would have noticed it by now.

This continued for the rest of the day throughout all of his classes. As he was on the short car ride home, he suddenly remembered the patrol he and Ladybug would have in the evening. Smiling, he made a mental note to bring up what he had discovered. After that, he completed what he had for homework quickly, and went to feed Plagg his cheese. The little black kwami practically swallowed his beloved Camembert cheese whole, rambling about how wonderful it was, and Adrien complained about the smell. Adrien then pushed play on the piano music he was "practicing", this time, making sure his door was locked and said the words "Plagg! Claws out!" With a flash of emerald light, Adrien had disappeared. In his place stood the hero Chat Noir who jumped out the window to meet Ladybug.

Marinette's/Ladybug's POV:

Marinette had not expected to have been almost called "Princess", especially not by a distracted looking Adrien. She had continued to think about it for the rest of the day, and seemed generally confused. She pushed away from the thoughts that flooded her mind, with much difficulty, and continued to live her life for the rest of the day. She confirmed her date with Peter for the weekend in the morning and went home, for the day.

She completed some of her work for school and later became distracted as she designed something new and lost track of time. That is, before the urgent words of a certain Kwami snapped her out of her daze, "Marinette! Look at the time! You're going to be late for Patrol with Chat Noir!" Warned the Ladybug Kwami. The raven-haired girl immediately shot out of her chair, giving her Kwami cookies as she grabbed a box of pastries from the bakery and placed the doll to make her look as if she were asleep and ran to the balcony, calling the magic words "Spots On!" and rushing to the meeting spot for the evening.

She noticed Chat sitting on the edge of the rooftop, humming some sort of lullaby as he watched the Parisian skyline intently with a small, playful smirk playing on his lips. It somewhat reminded her of the Chat Blanc incident, causing her heart to twist painfully as she remembered some of the lyrics.

Little kitty on a roof, all alone without his lady.

Alone. Did he really believe he was alone? She mustered up the courage to speak "Hi Chat." He turned to face her and smiled, "Hey M'lady! What took you so long?" He said, teasing her slightly. His eyes glimmered in the light of the sunset. And his smile was infectious. She smiled back at him and presented the box of pastries. "I figured you'd want something to eat Kitty." Chat smiled and answered, "You know me too well." And jumped down from his perch. He and Ladybug laughed for a while, looking down at the streets of Paris, noticing how quiet it was. Chat cleared his throat awkwardly, catching Ladybug's attention in the process.

"So... Ladybug. I wanted to talk to you about something." He stated. Ladybug... Not Bugaboo or M'lady. This must be serious. Ladybug thought. "What is it Chat?" She answered nervously. "It's about the girl I told you about. Well, not entirely. It's more about her boyfriend." Chat began carefully as if he was treading through a landmine. Ladybug felt strange as she gestured for him to continue. "He seems... off to me." He continues and finally continues, telling her about how he felt as if Peter was somehow controlling his friends without them noticing. Often, he mentioned a change in attitude from her civilian self until Ladybug stopped him.

"Ok, Chat. That's a pretty good theory, but with what proof? How do you know what Marinette is feeling and how would you have noticed a change?" She didn't seem to notice how her tone changed, and how she was raising her voice slightly. At least, not right away. But when she looked at Chat, she noticed how she had changed, how his ears flattened against his head, and his tail flicking nervously. He then stood up, and nodded, flashing her a fabricated smile which she noticed right away and was about to apologize and leave when she stood up and grabbed his hand, not knowing why she had been so angry.

Sighing, she stated, "I'm sorry Chat. It's just, I need more proof of what you found." She stated carefully. Chat seemed to be debating something before stating once more, "I met with a friend of hers. Adrien Agreste, that model kid. He said that his friend had pointed out the change until Marinette's boyfriend bumped into him. He told me that his friend's eyes clouded over and he dismissed the idea." He said. Ladybug stood in shock. "Adrien?" She asked, her legs buckling under her, hearing Chat cry out her name, "LADYBUG!" Before she hit the ground and lost consciousness.
