Daminette Prompts/Fics Recommendation 3
Part Two
Priestess Marinette by @mysnis
This doesn't actually have a title
“Wrench.” Was spat at her, she smiled.
“More like lady luck. You will leave and not come back. There will be no death this time.” She stood back. He scoffed.
“Pathetic.”
“Or maybe, I value life over your love of death.” She flung his blade to him which he caught smoothly. He glared at her.
“What makes you think I won’t run you through?”
“Luck.” She said. “Or do you not get it yet?” He blinked and turned to run.
“This won’t be the last time.” He promised. Marinette was inclined to agree.
Fighting Feelings by @astrynyx
“How did you meet?” he asked, looking between the three teens.
They all shared a look, speaking in perfect unison. “Fencing club.”
Bruce let out a deep sigh. “Why am I not surprised?” Marinette smirked.
“Maybe because we were fencing, sir.”
Damian stifled a laugh, turning so his brothers couldn’t see the amusement in his eyes. Bruce shot the girl a small glare, which she dutifully ignored. He only sighed once again, standing up to leave the room.
Since When Did Damian Get A Girlfriend, Let Alone A Fiancée? by @artxyra
“That will be unnecessary, Master Tim.” Alfred digs into his jacket and pulls out a handful of decorated envelopes. Uh, how was he able to hide those?
He hands the envelopes to each of them. Everyone stands confused as to why Alfred, the most class of them all, would hand them upside-down envelopes.
“Pretty!” Mar’i squeals, trying to reach for the envelope. “Look, Daddy, it has Unca Dami’s name on it.” She points to the card.
It was then that those with envelopes flip it over and sees the words “Damian & Marinette Wayne” decorated in elegant letters.
Hammy by @ive-tumbled-down-a-rabbit-hole
“Your friend is acceptable. You will take us to Hammy’s party. It holds superior appeal to this bar.”
“What?! When did you take my phone??”
“Tt, shortly after you finished showing us pictures of Hammy. I recommend that you consider improving your phone’s security. It was ridiculously easy to break into.”
“I…. what… huh?… You know what, with your phone ‘acquiring’ skills, you and Mare will be perfect together.”
“Tt, move. We’ve been invited to Hammy’s party and are leaving this ghastly location *now*.”
Dear Future Husband by @mochinek0
This doesn't actually have a title
The glow had faded away and Marinette saw that the previous red thread (the lovers thread) had turned gold. She had found her soulmate!
Marinette stepped down from the stage and walked over to the mysterious boy.
She held out her right hand and said, “Hello, Future Husband. I’m Marinette Dupain-Cheng.”
Damian used his right hand to grab her left and brought the gold thread to his lips and kisses it. “Hello, Future Wife. I’m Damian Wayne.

Tumblr MLB Lila (Salt) Bashing Prompts/Fics Recommendations 3
The Other Diplomat Kid by @musicfeedsmysoul12
Sam Williams goes to Paris when their dad temporarily takes over the title of diplomat to get away from their grandfather. They end up meeting a girl everyone in the diplomat circle knows is a liar.
Fake Lila Rossi AU by @ladyanput
So it was that night that Lila approached this girl, befriended her, and later offered her a deal;
Lila would pay her handsomely for her services. To act as her double. Lila promises to pay for the plastic surgery, anything she needs to look exactly like Lila. Besides, who wouldn’t want to be one of the biggest influencers in Paris? The girl does the charity work, get down and dirty, get Lila a good image, while Lila enjoys the high life. But they plan in carefully so that the two are never seem at the same time, even if they were in different places.
Fortune Reversal by @cornholio4
They put their paws together and in unison used the incantation that activated the magic of the Fortune Reversal. Plagg let Tikki take the reigns as she turned Marinette’s fortune positive and jsut because she decided to be a petty Kwami she also decided to reverse the fortune of Lila.
Rate this (Trust is Hard to Come By) by @unmaskedagain
Lila looked honestly confused. She had missed something, and it was big. “What’s going on?”
Nino glared at the girl; his eyes red, tear streaks his face. “Those numbers tell the world how much Ladybug trusts you. Or how much she doesn’t,” He said darkly, thinking about his own number and his actions against the girl he once called his best friend. “And why.”
“The lower the number,” Adrien added. “The less she trust you.”

Tumblr Maribat AU Prompt Recommendations 4
Letters revealing a scary truth by @mysnis
"Please reach JL, villain in Paris."
"What? A villain in Paris?" Bruce asked. He frowned. "Why is she hiding it?"
"I'm hoping that the previous letters will reveal that." Tim answered. Damian stared between the two before heading to his room. He came back quickly looking at them.
Lost and Found by @soulmate-game
This doesn't actually have a title
“Is that a kid?”
“Yep,” Batman’s grin grew.
“Is she… stealing my tires?” Hood was so, so glad he wore a helmet that hid his expression. Because… wow.
“Yep,” Batman finally lost his composure, chuckling. “This seems like Karma, don’t you think?”
De-Aged by @timinette-is-best
“How is there a fairy in the Pixie’s pocket?”
He asked jokingly while swinging the hands back and forth!
“Lookin lookie! It’s a Ladybug fairy! She’s so pwetty.”
Marinette held Tikki in both of her hands and jumped up and down trying to get him to look. Jason chuckled and looked down at the toy. It was cute, he had never seen something like it before. Then it blinked, and flew out of Marinette’s hand, and oh gosh, IT CAN TALK?!
Innocence, avoidance by @consumeconstantly
To be more precise, he’s hoping that she’s simply avoiding his detection, and hasn’t gotten swept up in something bad.
It takes Jason three hours-- three hours-- to find the girl who can’t be much older than ten. Probably not even ten, judging by her size.
“You’re lucky it’s me finding you, and not someone else, Pixie.” He finally catches a glance of her glaringly sparkly backpack, complete with fairies and unicorns covered in some sort of holographic overlay.
The New Adoptee by @purple-goo-writes , @mochegato & @thepacifistavenger
This doesn't actually have a title
Alfred will tell him. Alfred knows everything.
“Master Bruce, I’m shocked at you. Surely you know your most recent adoptee’s name?”
Adoptee?! When–? How??
There’s a light tap just below his right shoulder blade–she really is a tiny slip of a thing–and he turns to meet her wide-eyed, innocent, sapphire gaze. Oh, no. Did she learn this look from Jason? Or is it her own and that’s how it is that she fits in so well with the rest?

MLB Alya Cesaire Salt Prompts/Fics Recommendations
A Bakers Daughter by @ladyanput
This doesn't actually have a title
“You’re not walking away from this, Marinette! If you need harrassing Lila like this, you’ll get arrested! Get it in your head! Adrien doesn’t want you! He would never want a baker’s daughter, someone so useless and uninspiring! You’ll never reach great heights, Lila does! Lila has more talent grace in one pinky, than you have in your entire being! You’ll always be a nobody and you need to learn to deal with that.”
All This After a Monkey Tries to Steal Marinette’s Purse by @cornholio4
“Dad, I can explain…” Alya replied while trying to think of an explanation that sounded somewhat believable.
“I sent Marinette to our house to wait for either of us, I want you home within half an hour to take over for the babysitting duties that you were supposed to be doing anyway! I will try and be home shortly to have a talk with you!” Otis told him sternly and Alya looked down sadly having to tell Nino and Adrien that she has to get home with them looking concerned.
FACT CHECK by @spooky-z
“Marinette, aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Act like nothing is wrong. I didn’t know you could be that cold and calculating.” She caught everyone’s attention again, especially Marinette.
Marinette sighed, her elbow resting on the table, she laid her head on her palm. There was an air of boredom around her. Chloe, Sabrina and Nathaniel with unimpressed looks on their faces.
New York Special Salt: Confrontation by @nobodyfamousposts
Adrien was shaking at this point, but forcing himself to remain steady.
“You both knew Marinette liked me. Fine. Sure. Apparently she was having trouble telling me this. That’s okay. You knew she felt this way and was having trouble telling me. I get that.”
He glared.
“What I don’t get is why it was necessary to go THIS far instead of just TELLING me what was going on yourselves?!”
Exposed by @miraculousbelladonna
She is still absolutely going to have words with her bestie later, but she doesn’t think twice about posting the life changing video onto her blog.
All she’s thinking about is how it’s so cool that she’s the one who found Ladybugs identity. It’s so cool that she’s the one who’s revealing it. It’s so cool that her best friend, Marinette, is Ladybug. Her views are going to go through the roof. Television channels are going to be talking about this, they’re going to be calling her and asking to use her footage.
Hello!
I don't know if it's still okay to ask for recommendations. I have recently been into daminette story (and I have been in love with this couple). Do you have good recommendations where Ladybug and Robin swap their body multiple times? I read one fanfic, where they have a similar theme, and I have been obsessed!
Thank you! With LOVE!
I'm sorry but I don't know any stories where they swap bodies. Here's a recommendation of Daminette anyways. Some of these are filled with fluff and some Lila salt so enjoy!
Daminette AO3 Fanfic Recommendations 2
Tolerance by @superpsychonutcase
Chapters: 2/2
Lila is up to her old tricks. Thankfully, Tim and the employees of Wayne Enterprises are not as dimwitted as Bustier and her class.
Warmth by FridayFirefly
Chapters: 2/2
When Damian wakes up with a stranger in his bed, he knows that there is only one possible explanation: that stranger is his Soulmate.
#SunshineOfGotham by sixtyeightdays
Chapters: 14/14
All of Gotham knows Marinette, the Sunshine who's made her way into everyone's hearts.
But so what if all of Gotham knows Marinette? Does her class know that they know Marinette?
Of course not, why would they! But, well, let's see how they find out.
A Welcoming Change by Brinxiethebear
Chapters: 43/43
Damian Wayne always saw himself in a certain light. He was calculating and cold and he always took his work seriously. He was what others would call the Ice Prince. He was a loner and by choice. The only people he ever really tolerated talking to was his family and his only friend, Jon. Mainly he just spent time with his pets.
So can you guess what happens when a new girl ends up coming to his school? It's certainly not what he was expecting. He finds that its a welcoming change nonetheless, no matter what surprises may come his way.
Gotham's (Fashion) Disasters by FaithWarrior
Chapters: 22/?
Marinette and her parents are dragged along to the Rock wedding of the year by none other than the groom himself Jagged Stone. To complicate matters the wedding is in Gotham city America. By the grace of her Ladybug luck Marinette has everything prepared for the trip. But her skills are needed in Gotham, and she might find something while she's there.

New York Special
I’m re-watching the Miraculous: New York Special and the superheroes in New York are literally knock-offs from the Avengers and Justice League. Like the creators of Miraculous need to do better.

Fanfic idea
Would anybody be interested in a fanfic where Marinette just breaks? Like where she doesn’t care anymore and just lets herself be manipulated by the people around her. It could be Chloe or Lila. Or maybe even the whole class because they’ve always secretly hated how successful Marinette got. Like they they manipulate Marinette into thinking that she needs them and that it’s normal for her to always do what they want her to do.
At first, Marinette’s only escape could be Ladybug but it soon becomes bad for her too because of Chat Noir. Or this could just be a no miraculous AU.
The ending could either be that Marinate realizes that what her “friends” are doing is wrong or it could just be full on angsty and she just keeps doing what they want her to do.
What do you think?

Chapter 8
XY’s eyes snapped open, “Get out of my head!”
His breaths were uneven as he forced himself to get up. He turned to the window and noticed that it was still dark out. It was probably midnight.
XY stared at his bed. He couldn’t go back to sleep, at least not until he cleared his head. It was like everytime he closed his eyes for more than a minute, he would see his dad yelling at him. Screaming about how much of a disappointment he is.
Xy squeezed his eyes shut. He needed to get out of this room.
He grabbed the closest jacket near him and walked out his door.
-
The frosty air hit XY as soon as he walked out of the hotel.
He looked up at the dark sky. You couldn’t see a lot of the stars due to air pollution. It made XY frown. He remembered when his mom used to take him camping. Every night, they would look at the stars and she would point at a constellation and tell him the story behind it.
He missed her.
A sudden BANG- snapped XY out of his thoughts. He turned and saw a man wearing a hawaiin t-shirt on the floor, along with a man wearing a white t-shirt and sweats running away.
XY didn’t know what to do. Should he help the man or run after the guy? He was fast. He could probably catch the guy. But what about the man on the floor? Was the man still breathing?
In the end, XY turned to the man on the floor.
“Are you alright?” XY asked.
The man coughed. “I should be-” the man tried to stand and almost tumbled over. “I might need a bit of help getting home though.”
“I can help.” XY assured. “I don’t need to go home yet anyways.”
The man gave XY a smile that made XY feel warm. XY couldn’t help but smile back. “Which way do we need to go?”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Marinette was out for patrol.
That was a lie. It wasn’t really patrol. It was more of an excuse to clear her mind.
Marinette felt like she couldn’t breathe. It was like she was in a small room and the walls were closing in on her. She couldn’t leave. She could only sit and watch as the walls would crush her to death.
Marinette loved swinging from building to building. It made her feel free. It made her feel like a bird ready to stretch her wings after being trapped in a cage for so long.
Tonight, she wasn’t Ladybug or Marinette.
Ladybug often felt like the whole world was resting on her shoulders. Like if she made a single mistake, everyone would judge her for it and hate her.
Marinette was often stressed. Marinette felt like she always had to watch her back, fearing that Lila would do something to her. Marinette had a lot of homework to finish. A lot of commissions to do.
But like she mentioned before, right now, she wasn’t any of her two personas. She was Maribug. Maribug was free. Maribug wasn’t stressed. Maribug didn’t have anyone that had high expectations for her. She was just her.
There was no homework to worry about.
There was no Lila making snide comments about her appearance.
There was no Adrien who glared at her whenever she met his eyes.
There was no Chat Noir who would forcefully ask her on dates, only to throw a giant tantrum when she declined.
There were no hate comments that told her that her life wasn;t worth it. That she should just kill herself .
It was only Maribug and the stars.
It was quiet for a few minutes before Maribug heard voices. They both sounded familiar so Maribug walked closer towards it.
Maribug was facing Master Fu’s shop and saw two people standing on the front. One was obviously Master Fu. He was wearing his trademark bright red shirt with white flowers and light brown pants.
Maribug squinted, trying to figure out why the other guy looked so familiar. Maribug could only see the guys back. He was wearing a dark navy jacket with black sweats. He turned and Marinette saw the familiar blue eyes that could only belong to one person.
Maribug felt a frown stretch onto her face. What was Xavier doing with Master Fu?
Maribug studied the blonde haired boy from the top building. His hair was a mess. And not the usually cute kinda mess. It was more like the i-just-walked-through-a-tornado kinda mess. He had bags under his eyes, which made Maribug assume that he couldn’t sleep.
She couldn’t help but snort. “You and me both.”
However, that noise made Xavier turn his head. His light blue eyes met Maribug’s dark blue ones.
Fuck.

When XY helped the man back to his home (he told XY to call him Fu!), he did not expect Ladybug to be watching him.
XY couldn’t help but be nervous. Was she still mad about how she got the blue-haired boy akumatized? He apologized! He bought the boy a new guitar and he introduced the kitty band to a good producer and brand deal. He was pretty sure that they were friends now. And if not friends, at least good acquaintances.
Did Ladybug hate him? Can Ladybug even hate anybody? Is he going to be the first person the Ladybug is going to hate?
XY wanted to curl up and cry. As if he needed another flaw.
He faced Fu and gave him a smile.
“Thank you for helping me back to my home.”
XY couldn’t help but feel warmth from that sentence. “It was no problem. I should probably head back now though.”
Fu nodded in agreement and walked inside his massage parlor.
He was about to head to the hotel when Ladybug suddenly appeared in front of him.
If Ladybug was a Pokemon, XY was sure that one of her moves would be teleportation.
“I’m sorry!” XY suddenly blurted out.
“What?”
“I’m sorry for getting the Luka guy akumatized.” he couldn’t bring his eyes to meet hers.
“Xa-” Ladybug suddenly coughed, “I mean XY,” he slowly lifted his eyes from the ground. “It’s okay. I’m not mad at you.”
“But I caused an akumatization!”
Ladybug let out a twinkling laugh that sounded so familiar to him (but he couldn’t figure out why!). He was shaken out of his thoughts when Ladybug gave him a big smile and said, “Chloe caused a ton of akumatizations too and I still gave her the bee miraculous.”
That was true.
“So you don’t hate me?” XY asked meekly.
“Of course not!” XY couldn’t help but give her a small smile. She sounded so offended that she thought that she hated him. “So, why are you walking around this late at night?”
“I just needed to clear my mind. You?”
“Same.”
XY didn’t know what to say. He looked at her and he could see that her eyes were a bit red. Was she crying? “Are you okay?”
“Huh- what…” Ladybug wouldn’t meet his eyes, biting her lip. “I’m fine?”
XY couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”
“Yes.” Their eyes met and XY knew that she could hear the silent question he was asking. Are you okay? XY would not be the one that broke their eye contact. A few seconds passed and all XY could hear was their breathing. It was Ladybug that broke the eye contact, “No.” she whispered.
“Do you wanna talk about it?”
The air was starting to get colder as he waited for her answer.
In the end, she just nodded and held her hand out to him.

Note: Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter will be the two of them talking about their problems and the chapter after that will (finally!) be the date between Marinette and XY.
And like I always say, feedback will be appreciated.

“Of course not!” XY couldn’t help but give her a small smile. She sounded so offended that she thought that she hated him. “So, why are you walking around this late at night?”
“I just needed to clear my mind. You?”
“Same.”
XY didn’t know what to say. He looked at her and he could see that her eyes were a bit red. Was she crying? “Are you okay?”
“Huh- what…” Ladybug wouldn’t meet his eyes, biting her lip. “I’m fine?”
XY couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”
“Yes.” Their eyes met and XY knew that she could hear the silent question he was asking. Are you okay? XY would not be the one that broke their eye contact. A few seconds passed and all XY could hear was their breathing. It was Ladybug that broke the eye contact, “No.” she whispered.
“Do you wanna talk about it?”
The air was starting to get colder as he waited for her answer.
In the end, she just nodded and held her hand out to him.

Note: Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter will be the two of them talking about their problems and the chapter after that will (finally!) be the date between Marinette and XY.
And like I always say, feedback will be appreciated.

Chapter 9
Maribug has a late night talk with a certain blonde-haired musician
Swinging across Paris with Xavier should not have made Maribug’s stomach feel the way it did. It felt like a million butterflies were trapped inside her and they were trying to get out. It made her feel tingly and excited.
She couldn’t help but thank the gods that it was dark out. Otherwise, Maribug was sure that her whole face would be as red as her kwami.
When they arrived in his hotel room, Xavier gave the dark-haired girl a bright smile that would’ve made snow melt. “Thanks for the lift”
Maribug couldn’t help but smile back as she wrapped her arms around herself, missing the warmth Xavier’s body gave her, “It was no problem.”
“So…” he trailed on.
“So?” asked Maribug, hoping he would drop it.
“Are you okay?” Xavier asked bluntly, not being in the mood for the heroine’s obvious attempts to change the subject.
“I’m fine.” Maribug said, not meeting his eyes. Instead, she chose this moment to study his room.
This room was one of the biggest suites in the Bourgeois hotel. There was a king sized bed in the middle. It was messy though as if the person sleeping in the mattress didn't have time tidy up. There was a couch in front of the bed that faced a TV.
Even though Maribug might not like Chloe, her family sure knew how to do business.
A sudden gust of wind snapped her out of her thoughts. They left the balcony door open. She watched as Xavier rushed and closed the door before he turned back to her.
The way his eyes studied her made Maribug feel insecure. “So, are you okay?” he repeated.
“I’m fine.” her voice cracked. “It’s just hard being this super-perfect heroine all the time. It’s like people forget that i’m just a teenager.” Xavier sat down, gesturing for her to do the same. Maribug did. “You know you don’t have to do this alone, right?”
“Obviously.”
He winced, making Maribug feel bad for her outburst. “I mean, isn’t there someone you can talk too.” he started making frantic hand gestures. “I mean- sorry.” he sighed. “I suck at this.”
Maribug couldn’t help but give him a gentle smile. “You don’t have to rush. Just take a deep breath and gather your thoughts.”
He followed her instructions and repeated it.
One.
Two.
Three.
It took him three seconds to gather his thoughts. “Okay, what i’m trying to say is maybe you can talk to someone you trust. I know you won’t talk to me. You barely even know me, after all. But do you have a friend that you know will always be there for you, no matter what?” she nodded and he responded with a bright smile. “Then maybe you should tell her. It always helps if you have someone to talk to. It will definitely make things less stressful.”
Maribug nodded, seeing his point. But who did she have that would understand her. She didn’t have a lot of close friends left.
She felt something warm on her cheek. Maribug instantly tried to wipe it away. Why was she crying? She just finished a crying session a few hours ago. She only allowed herself to cry once every two weeks. This was one time too extra. She couldn’t afford to get akumatized. No one would be able to de-akumatize the akuma.
Out of the corner of her eye, Maribug saw Xavier hesitate before she felt his wrapped arms around her. He felt warm. Really warm. It was like there was a snowstorm outside and he was the only source of heat left in the world.
They stayed in that position for a few minutes, his warm arms around her petite body while she let more and more tears drop.
Another minute passed.
Then two.
Xavier slowly pulled his arms away, “You need to get some sleep.” he gently whispered “And think about what I said, okay?”
Maribug nodded, not trusting her voice.
The room was filled with a comfortable silence before Maribug opened her mouth, her voice cracking as she muttered, “I’m sorry for bothering you.”
“You’re not bothering me.” Xavier replied firmly, “But promise me that you’ll consider my advice and that you’ll get some sleep.”
Maribug gave him another soft nod, “I promise.” she gave him a pointed look, “But you better get some sleep too.”
“Don’t worry, I will” Xavier said, “I have a date after all.”’
She walked towards the balcony, giving him a soft smile before zipping away. Not aware of the fact her heart felt a little bit lighter.

Note: I know it’s a short chapter but I hope you like it. Up next is the long awaited date.

Chapter 10
Waiting for Marinette in front of her parents’ bakery made XY feel nervous. He felt like a thousand red ants were crawling all over him and they were ready to bite him as soon as he messed something up.
He shook that thought out of his head. He was not going to mess this up. He did not have a breakdown over this date for nothing.
I got this, he repeated in his head, I got this
I will not mess this up.
I am XY, one of the most popular musicians in all of France. A small date with a gorgeous girl should not make me this nervous.
I got this.
I got this.
I got th-
XY gulped. He does not “got this”.
In front of him was Marinette in all her glory. He felt like he couldn’t breathe. Marinette was wearing an off-shoulder black and white polka-dot dress that went just right above her knees. Her hair was down and wavy. She looked like Aphrodite in disguise.
“Woah” he managed to say, “You look great.”
“Thank you.” Marinette gave him a soft, pretty smile. “You look amazing as well.”
“Did you make that dress yourself?” He couldn’t help but ask curiously.
She gave him a shy nod, “Yeah. I did. A small friend of mine actually helped me pick this.” Her dark blue eyes twinkled with delight, “I was really nervous that you would think that I looked bad.”
He stared at her in shock. “You could never look bad in anything.” He sincerely said, before smirking at her red face. XY liked it when he made the pretty dark-haired girl blush. “After all, you’re the only person I know who can pull off pigtails.”
Marinette pouted, making XY’s heartbeat beat a little faster. How can someone be this adorable? She playfully hit his arm. “So, where are we going today? Xavier.”
He turned away from her so that she couldn’t see his face heating up. She knew the effect she has on him and the way she says his name proves it. But XY knew he had the same effect on her. The blush that was on her face a few minutes ago proved it. He narrowed his eyes and smirked, their blue eyes meeting. Two can play at that game. “Follow me, princess.”
He gently grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the bakery, not bothering to look at her face. From the random noises she was making, he knew that she was flustered. It was one of his favorite traits about her.
XY ignored the people staring at them. He would normally be annoyed but this time he understood why they were all staring. Marinette looked absolutely breathtaking. He honestly didn’t know whether to smack the boys in her class or thank them.
How could anyone let a beauty like her stay single? He mentally scoffed, I guess Adrien isn’t the only blind person at that school.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Whenever Marinette was nervous or flustered, she couldn’t form words correctly. It was like there were a million things that she wanted to say but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. It made her jumble up her words, making the things that came out of her mouth as ‘nonsense.’
She didn't know whether she felt relieved or annoyed when Xavier let go of her arm. Marinette was glad that she could get her mind to calm down so that she could speak properly but she missed the feeling of his hand on her body. It made her feel warm. It made her feel safe.
“So,” she heard Xavier ask nervously. “What do you think?”
Marinette was confused. “What do you me-” She glanced at their surroundings and it was like she forgot how to speak. It was beautiful. “Woah. This is- Woah.”
Xavier let out a small laugh that made Marinette’s stomach fill up with butterflies. “I’m guessing you like it?”
Marinette nodded in excitement. “I love it!”
Xavier led Marinette to a beautiful garden. There was a small stream flowing through the side and there were bushes covered with roses. White butterflies were flying around and landed on the flowers. It was absolutely breathtaking.
“I’m glad you like it.” he sheepishly said. “After everything you told me about the drama that you’ve had to deal with, I felt like you needed a peaceful getaway.”
Marinette’s face started to heat up. “You didn’t have to do all of this, you know. A simple movie date would’ve been fine.”
He sent her a bright smile that would have made any girl's knees buckle, “I know.” he said. “But I wanted to. You deserve nothing but the best after all.”
He held out his hand and she gladly took it. Xavier led her to a casual red and white checkered picnic blanket with a basket in the middle.
The date hasn’t even started and Marinette already wanted to kiss him.
Instead, she looked around. Noticing the lack of people, she couldn’t help but ask “Where is everyone? A beautiful place like this should have more than two people in it.”
“Oh, yeah,” Xavier said casually. “I paid the owners of this garden to make sure that no unwelcome guests arrive.”
Marinette wasn’t sure whether she wanted to hit him for wasting his money on her or hug him because it’s the sweetest thing that anyone’s ever done for her. So, she let out a small “Oh.” instead.
That caused her date to pause. “Is it too much?”
“No!” Marinette panicked, not wanting him to think that she hated it. “It’s perfect. I just wish you didn’t spend this much money on this date.”
“Oh,” Xavier said in realization. “If it helps, maybe you could think of it as me not wanting the paparazzi to interrupt my date with a beautiful girl.” He patted on the empty space next to him. “Now come on. If we wait any longer, then the food will get cold.”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
XY had no idea how long his date with Marinette lasted. In his opinion, it wasn’t long enough. He could spend all day listening to her ramble about anything.
He liked her so much. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt like this. It was like he could fly and touch the clouds. There was something about Marinette that just pulled him towards her. He felt like they instantly clicked.
He was walking Marinette home and he couldn’t help but notice the way she glowed underneath the moonlight. She was absolutely breathtaking.
He loved how they could never run out of anything to talk about. It was a breath of fresh air from the usual arguments XY always got himself into.
Whenever he was around her, he felt at balance. He didn’t know how to explain it. It was like she was good luck to his bad luck.
Marinette stopped walking and looked at him with her bluebell eyes. “We're here.”
“Yeah,” he muttered, a bit disappointed that he couldn’t spend any more time with her.
“I had a lot of fun today. Can we maybe do it again?”
His eyes suddenly met hers and he grinned. “Yeah!” he said excitedly. “Whenever you're free. I would love to hang out with you again.”
She sent him a bright smile before she leaned forward, kissing his cheek. “Great.” she hurriedly said, her face bright red. “I think I hear my parents calling me. I-better-go!” she rushed inside as XY stayed frozen in shock.
He hesitantly touched the cheek that she kissed. “Best day of my life.” he couldn’t help but whisper.
Deleted scene:
Marinette stared at Tikki, she was about to open her mouth when her kwami interrupted her. “No Marinette,” Tikki sighed in annoyance. “XY is not Chat Noir.”
“How do you know?”
“Cause I literally know who Chat Noir is.”
“Exactly!” Marinette exclaimed. “You could be lying.”
Tikki glared at Marinette, crossing her tiny arms. “For kwami’s sake, Marinette. You’ve been asking me this ever since your date ended with Prince Charming.” Before Marinette could reply, Tikki yelled. “Just let me eat my cookies in peace!”

XY had no idea how long his date with Marinette lasted. In his opinion, it wasn’t long enough. He could spend all day listening to her ramble about anything.
He liked her so much. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt like this. It was like he could fly and touch the clouds. There was something about Marinette that just pulled him towards her. He felt like they instantly clicked.
He was walking Marinette home and he couldn’t help but notice the way she glowed underneath the moonlight. She was absolutely breathtaking.
He loved how they could never run out of anything to talk about. It was a breath of fresh air from the usual arguments XY always got himself into.
Whenever he was around her, he felt at balance. He didn’t know how to explain it. It was like she was good luck to his bad luck.
Marinette stopped walking and looked at him with her bluebell eyes. “We're here.”
“Yeah,” he muttered, a bit disappointed that he couldn’t spend any more time with her.
“I had a lot of fun today. Can we maybe do it again?”
His eyes suddenly met hers and he grinned. “Yeah!” he said excitedly. “Whenever you're free. I would love to hang out with you again.”
She sent him a bright smile before she leaned forward, kissing his cheek. “Great.” she hurriedly said, her face bright red. “I think I hear my parents calling me. I-better-go!” she rushed inside as XY stayed frozen in shock.
He hesitantly touched the cheek that she kissed. “Best day of my life.” he couldn’t help but whisper.
Deleted scene:
Marinette stared at Tikki, she was about to open her mouth when her kwami interrupted her. “No Marinette,” Tikki sighed in annoyance. “XY is not Chat Noir.”
“How do you know?”
“Cause I literally know who Chat Noir is.”
“Exactly!” Marinette exclaimed. “You could be lying.”
Tikki glared at Marinette, crossing her tiny arms. “For kwami’s sake, Marinette. You’ve been asking me this ever since your date ended with Prince Charming.” Before Marinette could reply, Tikki yelled. “Just let me eat my cookies in peace!”

Chapter 10
Waiting for Marinette in front of her parents’ bakery made XY feel nervous. He felt like a thousand red ants were crawling all over him and they were ready to bite him as soon as he messed something up.
He shook that thought out of his head. He was not going to mess this up. He did not have a breakdown over this date for nothing.
I got this, he repeated in his head, I got this
I will not mess this up.
I am XY, one of the most popular musicians in all of France. A small date with a gorgeous girl should not make me this nervous.
I got this.
I got this.
I got th-
XY gulped. He does not “got this”.
In front of him was Marinette in all her glory. He felt like he couldn’t breathe. Marinette was wearing an off-shoulder black and white polka-dot dress that went just right above her knees. Her hair was down and wavy. She looked like Aphrodite in disguise.
“Woah” he managed to say, “You look great.”
“Thank you.” Marinette gave him a soft, pretty smile. “You look amazing as well.”
“Did you make that dress yourself?” He couldn’t help but ask curiously.
She gave him a shy nod, “Yeah. I did. A small friend of mine actually helped me pick this.” Her dark blue eyes twinkled with delight, “I was really nervous that you would think that I looked bad.”
He stared at her in shock. “You could never look bad in anything.” He sincerely said, before smirking at her red face. XY liked it when he made the pretty dark-haired girl blush. “After all, you’re the only person I know who can pull off pigtails.”
Marinette pouted, making XY’s heartbeat beat a little faster. How can someone be this adorable? She playfully hit his arm. “So, where are we going today? Xavier.”
He turned away from her so that she couldn’t see his face heating up. She knew the effect she has on him and the way she says his name proves it. But XY knew he had the same effect on her. The blush that was on her face a few minutes ago proved it. He narrowed his eyes and smirked, their blue eyes meeting. Two can play at that game. “Follow me, princess.”
He gently grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the bakery, not bothering to look at her face. From the random noises she was making, he knew that she was flustered. It was one of his favorite traits about her.
XY ignored the people staring at them. He would normally be annoyed but this time he understood why they were all staring. Marinette looked absolutely breathtaking. He honestly didn’t know whether to smack the boys in her class or thank them.
How could anyone let a beauty like her stay single? He mentally scoffed, I guess Adrien isn’t the only blind person at that school.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Whenever Marinette was nervous or flustered, she couldn’t form words correctly. It was like there were a million things that she wanted to say but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. It made her jumble up her words, making the things that came out of her mouth as ‘nonsense.’
She didn't know whether she felt relieved or annoyed when Xavier let go of her arm. Marinette was glad that she could get her mind to calm down so that she could speak properly but she missed the feeling of his hand on her body. It made her feel warm. It made her feel safe.
“So,” she heard Xavier ask nervously. “What do you think?”
Marinette was confused. “What do you me-” She glanced at their surroundings and it was like she forgot how to speak. It was beautiful. “Woah. This is- Woah.”
Xavier let out a small laugh that made Marinette’s stomach fill up with butterflies. “I’m guessing you like it?”
Marinette nodded in excitement. “I love it!”
Xavier led Marinette to a beautiful garden. There was a small stream flowing through the side and there were bushes covered with roses. White butterflies were flying around and landed on the flowers. It was absolutely breathtaking.
“I’m glad you like it.” he sheepishly said. “After everything you told me about the drama that you’ve had to deal with, I felt like you needed a peaceful getaway.”
Marinette’s face started to heat up. “You didn’t have to do all of this, you know. A simple movie date would’ve been fine.”
He sent her a bright smile that would have made any girl's knees buckle, “I know.” he said. “But I wanted to. You deserve nothing but the best after all.”
He held out his hand and she gladly took it. Xavier led her to a casual red and white checkered picnic blanket with a basket in the middle.
The date hasn’t even started and Marinette already wanted to kiss him.
Instead, she looked around. Noticing the lack of people, she couldn’t help but ask “Where is everyone? A beautiful place like this should have more than two people in it.”
“Oh, yeah,” Xavier said casually. “I paid the owners of this garden to make sure that no unwelcome guests arrive.”
Marinette wasn’t sure whether she wanted to hit him for wasting his money on her or hug him because it’s the sweetest thing that anyone’s ever done for her. So, she let out a small “Oh.” instead.
That caused her date to pause. “Is it too much?”
“No!” Marinette panicked, not wanting him to think that she hated it. “It’s perfect. I just wish you didn’t spend this much money on this date.”
“Oh,” Xavier said in realization. “If it helps, maybe you could think of it as me not wanting the paparazzi to interrupt my date with a beautiful girl.” He patted on the empty space next to him. “Now come on. If we wait any longer, then the food will get cold.”

Chapter 11
For the first time in a while, Marinette was happy. She felt like she was in heaven.
Ever since Xavier came into her life, she just felt free. While she was with him, she didn’t have to be the perfect student that had to drop everything just to help her friends nor did she have to be the perfect superheroine who had to save the day.
She was just Marinette. And he was okay with that.
Tikki’s mood has also gotten lighter. She was happy that Marinette had finally gotten over Adrien. Hopefully, Master Fu would get rid of that cat’s miraculous soon. Because everything escalates.
Marinette heard a crash. It was soon followed by a lot of screaming.
She knew that an akuma attack was happening. She muttered, “I knew everything was getting too calm. TIKKI, SPOTS ON!”
Ladybug was scanning the area. She knew that Chat Noir wouldn’t show up until later. When her eyes landed on the akuma, she noticed that the akuma was covered with silver glitter. “So this is a knock-off version of Style Queen” she muttered. “Except instead of gold, it’s silver.”
“MY NAME IS SILVER GLITTER!” the akuma yelled, “AND I WILL TURN PARIS INTO MY GLITTERY PLAYGROUND.”
“How creative.” Ladybug rolled her eyes, “Lucky charm.”
Looking around, Ladybug knew what she was supposed to do. The akuma was beaten in record time.
Paris was covered in glitter and she shuddered. Glitter was a bitch when it was time to clean up. It got all over the place. “MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!”
The magical ladybug fixed everything up, thankfully getting rid of all the glitter as well.
Ladybug couldn’t help but smile. Without that cat, akumas were getting easier to beat.
She felt someone land behind her and her mood suddenly dampened.
“Hey, m’lady.” he purred.
“Chat,” she acknowledged, trying to look for a way to get out of there as soon as she could. “The akumas been defeated. What are you doing here?”
He gave Ladybug a smirk that made shivers run up her spine. “Can’t I visit my favorite little bug?”
“Don’t call me that.” she snapped.
He raised an eyebrow, stepping towards her. “Little bug.” he taunted.
“Stop it.” She tried to firmly say. “Since you’re here, why don’t we talk about the fact that you’re barely helping with the akumas anymore.”
“You should know that shifting the attention away from you won’t work.” his eyes glinted with amusement. “But if you must know, it’s because a certain bug won’t accept her feelings for me.” his dangerous green eyes stared at hers, “Do you know how much it hurts? I know that she loves me but for some reason. She. Just. Won’t. Admit. It.”
Ladybug flinched, “What part of I don’t like you like that do you not understand?” she tried to explain. “No means no.”
Chat only laughed. “If I stuck with that rule, I wouldn’t be able to get whatever I wanted.” Ladybug didn’t know what to say, so the cat continued. “Trust me, bugaboo. I will get you to confess your feelings for me. One way or another.”
“That’ll never happen.”
His lips curl up into a snide smirk, giving her a final glance before turning away. “We’ll see. But until you finally open your eyes and admit that you like me, well-” his eyes scanned Paris. “Good luck fighting the akumas without me, m’lady.”
After Chat Noir left, Ladybug allowed herself to collapse in shock. She couldn't hear anything but the last sentence he said to her.
“until you finally open your eyes and admit that you like me”
“I will get you to confess your feelings for me. One way or another.”
“Good luck fighting the akumas without me, m’lady.”
“If I stuck with that rule, I wouldn’t be able to get whatever I wanted.”
“One way or another.”
“-YBUG!” she heard someone scream. “Holy crap, are you okay?”
She quickly recognized the voice. It was Alya. “Yeah,” she sighed. “I’m fine.”
Alya didn’t seem to look like she believed the heroine, “You sure?”
She couldn’t meet her friend’s eyes, “Alya, were you on live?” she asked in shock.
Alya shook her head. “No, but I caught everything on video.”
Ladybug bit her lip, contemplating her options. “Can you do me a favor and not post it yet please.”
“But, why?” her friend argued. “We should expose him as soon as we can. What he did was harassme-”
“I know what he’s doing” Ladybug interrupted, “Just don’t post it yet, please. I have a plan.”
“Fine.” the reporter relented. “But I will expose him. You don’t deserve that treatment.”
“Thank you.” Ladybug sent a small smile to her friend. “I’ll meet you at your house tonight?”
Alya nodded in agreement.
“Okay. With a final sigh, Ladybug got her yoyo ready. ”Bug out.”

Deleted scene:
XY had to be dreaming.
Or he probably died and went to heaven. Those were the only two explanations on why everything felt so perfect at the moment.
Right now, XY and Marinette were facetiming. It was supposed to be a professional call, where they discussed the designs for his music video. But somehow, they always managed to get off track.
They’ve been talking for hours.
Even though the two of them led fairly busy lives, it seemed like they always had time to call each other. No matter how late it was.
Their sleep schedule was messed up but it was worth it.
XY turned his attention back to his phone. Marinette was currently sketching the final products of the design they chose.
He was excited but she wouldn’t let him see it, no matter how much he begged. “Please.” he tried again, “Just a little peak?”
Marinette let out the cutest giggle XY had ever heard and playfully glared at him, “You’re gonna see it tomorrow.” she reminded him, “We’re finally able to meet up, remember?”
XY did remember. He was so excited when he found out that they were both free at the same time. “But I wanna see it now.”
“You are definitely not a patient person,” Marinette jokes.
“How dare you?” XY mockingly said, “We’re breaking up.”
Marinette laughed, “We can’t break up if we’re not together yet.”
“Yet.” XY winked, “We’re not together yet.”
