Adrien Agreste could usually pretend he was fine. He'd never faltered from his regimen of fake smiles since childhood. At twenty-six years old he was an accomplished model with nearly a million to his name. Some would look at him and swoon: a perfect man with a perfect life. What they failed to see were the heartache and the trauma.

As Adrien, he couldn't be anything less than perfect. Everything he did was monitored, everything he did was rehearsed. He was a pawn in his father's game, which came with all the perks of abuse and depression. But as Chat Noir, he could be himself. He could be goofy and silly without being chastised. He could cry without being tormented. But when his lives bleed together, his pain becomes too much.

"M-make sure you g-get a better partner this time... little bug."

Behind the Mask (Book One)

Adrien Agreste may seem like he has everything together. Being a famous model, all the girls crushing on him, secretly living a double life as a famous superhero, saving everybody... And most of all, having the perfect smile. But a smile can hide so much pain. He is broken. Lost his mother. Abused by his father. Wearing a mask everyday. But unlike them, she saw behind the mask. Trigger warning: child abuse, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and depression. I tried not to make it extremely graphic, but some scenes may still be a bit graphic and it may still be triggering! This book also contains mild language. *I do not own the characters! All characters belong to Thomas Astruc! I also do not own the videos used in the story!* This is my first Adrienette/Miraculous Ladybug fanfic. Hope you enjoy! :)
