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."

Let's just say things took a very different turn. Adrien Agreste or Chat Noir; Paris' famed superhero, has found himself in love with everyone's favorite bluenette, Marinette Dupain-Cheng after a ladybug-patterned umbrella was given to him as part of an apology when he mistakes Marinette's kindness for rude behavior during a chewing gum accident. Who knew Chloe could trigger such a wonderful event in time. All because this different turn in time Adrien's life has changed, now if only he could get himself to act normally around Marinette so his feelings wouldn't be so one-sided. Marinette really is a normal girl with a normal life. There's not a single thing people don't know about her because she doesn't find special earring in her possession and unluckily neither does anyone else, causing major trouble for the city of Paris and a lot more work for Chat Noir. On top of all of these wild feelings and trouble, Chat and Marinette meet on the street's, and with Chat's confidence in the suit, he can talk to Marinette with ease, how lucky. How can Marinette not fall for him! Even though this situation seems more than perfect, both of them can't seem to let any big confessions out leaving each of the two more than confused with their feelings. ••• I do not own any of the characters in this fanfiction all of them rightfully belong to Zagtoon and the creator of Miraculous, Thomas Astruc.

!!! Spoilers for Miraculous Ladybug Season 4 Finale !!! "I don't know, what if you're Felix?" Ladybug breathed heavily, signaling an oncoming panic attack. "If you're gonna trust me once, please let it be this time." Adrien urged her as he stood in the door frame, his tone was gentle but urgent, and he shut the door. Ladybug collapsed and called off her transformation, revealing her civilian self. Her chest heaved with heavy sobs that escaped her body and she lowered herself to the floor. Tightening her arms around herself, she cried out. - He took a deep breath in, held it and then released it. He repeated it a second time. "I'm sorry, Ladybug. I can't just listen to you cry." He threw open the door, his eyes shut tightly. He lowered himself to the floor in front of her, settling down on his knees and extending his arms outwards. He kept his eyes shut and listened for any movement from her. - "You're not alone through this." Or, Adrien tries to comfort Ladybug by entering the bathroom a couple minutes sooner. --- Word count: 23 648 Published March 27th 2022
