Fortuitous (A Miraculous Gender Neutral Reader Insert)

Restlessness

(A/n: I updated this on AO3 last night but I was too tired to post it here until today. This might become a trend but idk. Anyways, next chapter will be out by March 3.)

You're about to take a nap when you realize what akuma Ladybug and Chat will be facing tomorrow.They can handle Lady Wifi on their own, right? You groan and roll over. That's a tomorrow problem. You close your eyes but can't sleep.You sit up and open up your laptop and open an encrypted file titled C🦋&🦚B4⏳.

I already know who Hawkmoth and Mayura are but they could easily akumatize themselves and absolve themselves of suspicion. I need damning evidence. As fun as it is playing superhero, it's best that I take down the guy who preys on vulnerable people asap. What can I do? You spend the rest of the night reviewing all akuma footage available.

You wake up hunched over your keyboard and come to a realization. "I feel so fucking dumb." you mutter. Kwamis can't be caught on camera, but you know what can and has been caught on camera? The akumas. There's no shortage of those corrupted butterflies on camera. So, if I set up cameras I can prove where the akumas come from and if he tries to akumatize himself when he's at home, he'll end up incriminating himself because there'd be no footage of the akuma leaving his mansion. I just have to be patient.

"(Y/n), if you're late father won't be pleased." your sister announces. That's...nice of her to warn me.

"Thanks." you reply unsure of her motives. You close your bedroom door and change your clothes. You pick up the messenger bag with your costume hidden in it. I miss when Marc would tell me my grappling hook was sticking out. I can never find him anymore. You eat an actual breakfast for once before heading to school. It's a good thing study hall was optional today.

You walk into the locker room and see Alya whispering to Nino. Let's try to prevent this. "Hey, what are we talking about?"

"I'm about to prove Chloe is Ladybug!" Alya yell-whispers. It's too funny. You can't help but laugh. She gives you a withering look.

"I'm sorry but Chloe? Really? You couldn't pick a more accurate guess?" you defend. "Thanks for the laugh though."

"There she is! Nino, go! And do mess up your lines!" Alya says as she pushes Nino. He slams against the lockers hard enough to make you wince. Time to watch her crash and burn.

You suffer through Nino's cringeworthy attempt at a diversion while Alya tries to take pictures of Chloe's locker. Sabrina turns and says, "Uh... Chloe! Alya's looking in your locker!" Alya tries to deny it but Kim swipes her phone and shows the photos. They all walk to the principal's office, leaving the rest of you.

"Well, that was painful to watch...what's our first class? I left my schedule at home."

"I can't believe Chloe took this to the principal." Nino laments.

"Really? This is Chloe, and even I'd be concerned if someone took a picture of my locker."

"I...didn't think of it that way."

"I get it. Chloe's a terrible person and she's definitely gonna make things worse than they need to be." Since no one told you what your next class is, you awkwardly follow Nino to Ms. Bustier's classroom.

"Hey Adrien!" you greet him as you step into the classroom.

"Hey (Y/n), are you okay? After what happened-?" he asks.

"I'm fine. I was just in a bad mood, but I have a great feeling about today." you end on a cheerful note.

"Are you sure?"
