His Mute Princess

Chapter 57

Adrien once again sat quietly during the discussion. He managed to get the red book and the miraculouses.

Now he needed to get Ladybug's earrings. 

He just needed to find an opportunity. 

"Is it still safe to keep our miraculouses?" Jasmine asked. "Why do you ask that, Ladybug?" Master Fu asked. 

"Well, Adrien is Gabriel's son. What if Gabriel notices and blames Adrien? He had the red book, in his search, Gabriel might see Adrien's ring."

Adrien perked up hearing this. "Maybe it's my paranoia," Jasmine shook her head. "I've just been a bit more on edge since having my son."

"It's understandable Ladybug," Master Fu said. "You are right though, Jasmine," Adrien spoke. "It is entirely possible, and actually will happen, that my father blames me. He'll turn my room upside down looking for his stuff and he might stumble upon Plagg or see my ring. It's like LB said, he had the book, he has knowledge of what the miraculous looks like."

Master Fu hummed, "It's risky for me to take back your miraculouses. You guys might need them. It is risky for you guys to have them, but it's outweighed by the danger that comes from not having them."

'So we should just keep them?' Marinette asked. "Why don't we try switching who has them?" Jasmine asked. "Adrien and Marinette go to school together and they don't live far from me, at least compared to how far I am from here." 

Adrien got a little excited. This could be his chance. 

"It might not be necessary for you, however, Ladybug," Master Fu spoke. You don't have a connection to Marinette and Adrien."

"I do, actually," Jasmine said sheepishly. "My fiance knows Marinette as she babysits for us and I've met another classmate of theirs." 

"The connection is rather small," Master Fu said. "But if you truly fear for your family's safety, then we can go ahead with your plan."

Jasmine sighed in relief and Adrien held back a grin. 

"When do you think we should start Chat Noir?" Master Fu asked. "Well," Adrien started, "my father is gone and I don't know how long it will take him to notice his miraculous is gone and come back. So I think it's best we start today. There isn't going to be any danger until after he comes back, in which case I shouldn't have my miraculous."

Master Fu stroked his chin, "Alright. Either Marinette or Ladybug can take the miraculouses."

'I'll take them,' Marinette said, lifting her hand to get everyone's attention. "Ok, good idea," Jasmine said. Master Fu called out the three kwamis and explained to them the situation.

"So we're going with Marinette?" Tikki asked. Jasmine nodded, "For now, we'll switch around when necessary."

"As long as she has cheese I don't mind," Plagg said. Adrien rolled his eyes and Marinette giggled. 

"Ok well, goodbye for now Tikki," Jasmine said. "We'll see each other soon." Tikki gave Jasmine's cheek a little hug and Jasmine took off her earrings. 

"Man, I'm gonna miss all the cheese you have," Plagg groaned. "Plagg this isn't forever," Adrien said. "I know, but cheese."

Adrien shook his head and took off his ring. Marinette also took off her necklace, choosing to hide it as well, just in case. Master Fu took out three small, red boxes. Each hero grabbed one and placed their miraculous inside. 

"Man, I know I already gave up my miraculous momentarily before, but I feel kind of sad," Jasmine said, handing her box to Marinette. "I guess it's the circumstances," Adrien said, handing his box as well, "before it was because you were hurt and we needed help. This time it's out of caution." 

"Yeah, that might be it." Marinette took both boxes and placed all three inside her bag. 

"Well, it's getting late and this is it for now. I will hopefully see you soon," Master Fu said. 

"Ok, thank you, Master Fu," Jasmine stood. 

Marinette and Adrien also stood up. The heroes waved goodbye to Master Fu and walked out. 

"Ah fuck, I came here transformed, it's a long walking distance from here to my house!" Jasmine groaned.

'I came here transformed too,' Marinette mouthed. "I can take you LB."

"Didn't you come here as Chat?" she asked. "Yeah I did, but I can transform and take you back to your place. Mari's place is on the way back so I can just easily stop by and drop off my miraculous."

Adrien turned to Marinette, "You can just use your miraculous too, you're the one keeping them."

'Oh yeah. I don't know why I didn't think of that,' Marinette frowned. Adrien and Jasmine looked at each other and chuckled. Marinette handed Adrien back his box. 

"I'll see you soon princess."

.

Marinette arrived back at her house and jumped into her room. She detransformed and Mullo flew out. 

"How long will I be gone?" Mullo asked.

'I'm not sure, we have to wait and see what happens,' Marinette mouthed, giving Mullo a piece of cheese. 

Mullo nodded and finished the cheese. Marinette took off her necklace and put it away. 

About 10 minutes later, Chat showed up and knocked on her window. She walked over and let him in. 

Chat detransformed and put his ring back in his box. 'Aren't you going to feed him?' Marinette asked. "Nah, the greedy little bastard got enough today." 

Marinette laughed and shook her head. "Seriously, the amount of cheese he ate was insane.

"Where are you going to keep the miraculouses?" he asked. 'I'm not sure yet, but you can put your box with the other ones over there,' Marinette pointed to her desk. 

"Ok princess," Adrien said. He walked over to her desk where the other two boxes were. He looked back over at Marinette but she was distracted looking around for a good hiding spot. 

Adrien turned back to the boxes and opened his. He took his ring out and felt the box. There wasn't any weight difference. He closed it and did the same thing with the ladybug earrings. There was no weight difference in that one either. 

Adrien took both jewels and put them in his pocket, closing the boxes. "Hey Mari, do you want me to put the boxes back in the bag?" he asked, turning to look at her. 

Her back was towards him and she turned around, nodding. Yes, it will make it easier to hide them, she signed. Adrien turned back to the boxes and put them away. 

He grabbed the bag and walked over to Marinette. "Have you found a good hiding spot?"

'I think I'll just hide them in my closet. My parents don't go in there.'

"Ok, well here you go," Adrien handed her the bag. He got nervous, he really hoped Marinette wouldn't check the boxes. 

Much to his luck, she didn't and she just put the bag away in her closet. He mentally sighed in relief.

"Well princess, I should get going," he said. Marinette walked out of the closet and over to him. She walked him downstairs to the door and gave him a kiss goodbye.

Adrien walked home, his hands in his pockets holding the miraculouses.

The power of destruction and creation.
