Mama Agreste as the peacock miraculous holder. HEADCANON TIME~ It is my personally headcanon and maybe a few others- that Mama Agreste was Madame Paon (Or Lady Peacock whatever floats your boat) and that she did lose her miraculous. HOWEVER- I do not think her husband, Gabriel, is Hawkmoth- (and hey I might be right, I might be dead wrong. Who knows-) because well he seems to know about the miraculous' somewhat, this might be from something else. I think Madame Paon and Hawkmoth were partners in protecting Paris (as revealed in the Origins episode, it didn't seem like anyone had heard or known of Ladybug and Chat noir before. And with Hawkmoth being as old as he is...or seems there had to have been Heroes before) and perhaps Master Fu was with them- alongside the fox miraculous holder and the bee one. Or maybe they were all protecting other places, and that's why there was no chat noir and ladybug. They were all in separate areas- so that must mean at least a few of these groups has the power to purify- if not all. But- later on. Now imagine that Hawkmoth was slowly growing corrupt- the power he had was too much to waste it on saving some people. They could change the world- make it better in itself- but the team did not agree with this. Not even his closest friend, Madame Paon. (if I remember correctly, Peacocks are a symbol for incorruptibility.) So after some fights, and the mysterious disappearance of Hawkmoth for a while as he was probably beaten(1) Madame Paon knows that this is probably no longer safe for her- Hawkmoth will be after her, either to corrupt or to remove a threat or something else. She explains the miraculous stuff to her husband, willingly giving up her miraculous for safe keeping(2)alongside a book they had been given. Then she vanishes- leaving behind a worried father that becomes strict and cold to keep his son safe. Now Madame Paon could have disappear because she was kidnapped by Hawkmoth for her miraculous only to be found without it, leaving a pissed Hawkmoth in search of greater power and knowledge- which Mama Agreste is bound to have after being entrusted with that book by previous heroes. Or she could have disappeared in search of a way to save her friend- and left behind the book and miraculous just in case she was caught. Now in this search, she went to all the places the miraculous have been over time. Egypt, China, America, etc. Answers have to be somewhere in these- but she left before Gabriel even knew, leaving him clueless with a son in possible danger due to a mother's old enemy. That's why he noticed the ring that is the Chat Noir transformation: His wife told him all about it, and his son is now in the same danger his wife was. ((Additional:)) 1) Later on- in the timespan of Ladybug and Chat noir, he returns with power newly gained. His Akuma, the power to corrupt. This could explain why Ladybug only has the power to cure and create, she advanced further to the threat- or perhaps the Akumas were a thing, and only a few miraculous' have power to purify them- or Ladybug was just always the leader of the group. The last I find unlikely because Paris reacted so oddly to Ladybug in the origins- like they'd never seen her before. 2)it was revealed that a Kwami vanishes when the miraculous is given up willingly. That's why there was no peacock Kwami when the safe was opened: because the holder gave them up willingly. Please respect artists!

And don’t remove the source! What do you guys think? Tell me please! I'm interested.

Fanfic idea: Adrien Agreste as a player/badboy
No Miraculous AU:
(Adrien’s backstory)
Chloe and Adrien were dating when they were in their early teens
Chloe cheated on Adrien a few months after his mom’s death with a model that Adrien was working with
This causes Adrien to make a promise to himself that he won’t ever fall in love again and if he believes that a girl is using him even the slightest, he’s gonna make her feel what he felt when Chloe broke his heart. A lot of pain and embarrassment
Because there are no miraculous in this story, Gabriel Agreste is a better father. He tries to be there for Adrien but Adrien pushes him away.
Françoise Dupont High School
This is gonna be an elite private school. I mean a supermodel, the mayors daughter, and the children of famous chefs/actors attend that school so why would it be a public school. So to be able to attend the school, you’d have to have a lot of money and a bit of internet fame.
Marinette’s backstory
Marinette was bullied in her previous school so she she decided to be homeschooled for her freshman year before transferring to Françoise Dupont High School at the beginning of her sophomore year
Françoise Dupont High School accepts Marinette because her family owns one of Paris’s most famous bakeries with locations all over the world. She has a brand called MDC where she designs for many famous people.
Jagged Stone was the one who discovered her talent and helped her grow her influence
Jagged calls her honorary niece which again helps her with her influence
She doesn’t have many friends so she models her own clothes and is pretty good at it
She has a lot of Instagram followers and she might start a YouTube channel soon
She tries to keep her connections and fame lowkey so people don’t use her
Lila Rossi’s backstory
She’s gonna be one of Marinette’s closest friends
When she transfers to Françoise Dupont High she tries to become friends with Adrien but she gets intimidated by everyone and starts lying
Adrien calls Lila out in front of everyone and embarrasses her in front of everyone. Then Chloe makes a snide comment about it and it gets worse
Marinette stands up for her and they soon bond and become good friends
Plot (kinda)
(Part 1)
Marinette is tired of her old school. Her whole life, she’s been bullied. So when middle school ends she tells her parents that she wants to be homeschooled.
Her parents agree and during summer Marinette decides to focus on herself and learn how to be more confident
The bakery business is doing amazing and they’ve gotten multiple offers to have branch out. This caused them to become one of Prius’s most famous bakery
Jagged Stone heard about the bakery and how good it is, so he decides to try it out. Him and Penny soon become close friends with the Dupain-Chengs
He learns that Marinette is a designer and falls in love with her style and commissions from her, this kickstarts her career
Throughout Marinette’s freshman year, she’s flooded with commissions and becomes to get her name known
Jagged convinces her to go to Françoise Dupont High so she can make friends and learn more about the business and stuff
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(Part 2)
Her first day of school at Françoise Dupont High and Chloe gets jealous of her. Chloe vows to ruin her life (no one at the school finds out about her being kinda famous until later)
Marinette sits next to Alya and they hit off.
Alya is already together with Nino and they are the only people who Adrien considers friends.
Adrien tries to get with Marinette and teases her often, which makes Chloe jealous
Chloe spreads a bunch of rumors about Marinette and Marinette doesn’t notice it
Adrien begins to doubt Marinette’s intention and he yells at her. This caused them to stop being friends. And because Alya and Nino are closer to Adrien than Marinette, they take his side and Marinette is left alone all over again.
For the following week, Chloe makes snide remarks about Marinette and Adrien agrees with a lot of them. Adrien also begins to tease Marinette in a harsh way, unlike the friendly way before
Marinette ignores them and tries to become friends with other people
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(Part 3)
There’s a new student coming and everyone is talking about her. Françoise Dupont High just doesn’t accept anyone after all. Especially during the middle the year
Lila arrives and tries to become friends with everyone
She knows that this school is elite so she lies so that she can make friends
Adrien immediately doesn’t like her so he comes up with a plan to get her to stop lying
He embarrasses her in front of everyone by calling out all her lies and even going as far as calling her “a desperate whore who wants attention”
Chloe laughs, agreeing with him and humiliates her even further.
Marinette comes to school late and sees everyone surrounding Lila and she hears all the disgusting things they’re saying about her and stands up for her
Adrien says something like “Of course your defending her. After all, both of you are desperate for attention”
Marinette goes off on him and she takes Lila into a secluded classroom and asks her is she’s okay and what happened
The beginning of a friendship
In this story, Lila is not a psycho. She only lies because she felt like she had too. Everyone knows that the students in Françoise Dupont High are crazy rich. And she felt like they wouldn’t want to be friends with her. When Adrien and Chloe humiliate her in front of the whole school, she develops a hatred for them (and rightfully so). She finds a friend in Marinette and they become very close. Lila is a very loyal friend in this story and she will have an actual story line that she will follow.
Now, would anyone be interested in reading this. Because I’m not gonna start writing a story where no one will read it. So if you can, please leave a comment or something and tell me what you think of this AU

Marinette definitely has a big following on social media.
- She is friends with a famous supermodel
- Her best friend is the founder of the Ladyblog
- Her design for Jagged Stone’s cover got #1 for the billboard thing
- One of her designs got featured on broadway and the Queen of Fashion praised her work and was willing to take her to New York as an intern
- Her parents own one of Paris’s famous bakeries and she was even featured on a show with Jagged Stone
I’m literally thinking of making a fanfic with Marinette as an influencer, I feel like it would be an interesting fanfic

Marinette's family is definitely rich
The building they own is five stories tall
The bakery is on the first floor
Her parent’s room and a bathroom is on the second floor
The third floor is the living room and a dining room
Marinette’s room is the entire fourth floor
Lastly, the balcony is on the fifth floor
Their house/building is also next to the Eiffel Tower, which is a super popular tourist destination. Not to mention that France is an expensive place to live in and their building is around a very nice place. The bakery is very popular as well. In the Christmas special, we can see that the bakery gets a ton of customers which includes the mayor and a famous news reporter. Jagged Stone also filmed a special in that episode which gave them even more publicity.
Marinette has a complete set of gadgets (computer, phone, tablet/iPad, etc.) and thousands of dollars worth of sewing supplies, which is not cheap at all.
They also have a lot of famous connections. Marinette’s mom is best friends with a famous news reporter and trust Marinette enough to babysit her only child. A famous rock star chose Marinette to design his album cover when his career was in trouble because of XY. Not to mention that cover that Marinette designed got the number one spot. Jagged Stone even chose their bakery to film his special episode on. Marinette has tons of connections on her own as well but that’s for another discussion. Lastly, Marinette’s uncle is a world-famous chef, so they probably have even more connections that we don’t even know about.
Another thing is that Marinette’s grandmother travels the world full time. Traveling is expensive so that’s another point for them being rich. Marinette’s grandmother also doesn’t seem like the type of person to accept money from her sons. So where would the money come from?
One last thing is the school that Marinette attends. That school is full of children with rich and influential parents. Juleka’s mom used to be a famous rock star who played alongside Jagged Stone. Alya is the daughter of a well-known chef and her sister is a famous wrestler. Alix’s dad is a famous historian. Mylene’s dad is an actor. Lastly, Chloe is the daughter of the mayor and a famous fashion designer/critique and they own a famous hotel branch as well. We also know that Chloe’s family would not send their only daughter to a public school or some random private school. Nope, they would only send Chloe to the best school in Paris. Plus, Chloe would throw a big tantrum if she wasn’t sent to a very expensive private school. It also makes sense since Adrien attends that school. Gabriel Agreste would not let Adrien attend some random public school. Especially since he wants Adrien to maintain the perfect Agreste image.
So yeah, I’m convinced that the Dupain-Cheng’s are rich. Who knows, they might even have more money than Chloe and Adrien but, they’re just more humble about it. Who knows? This would also prove my theory of Marinette being famous or/and an influencer to be true.

Chapter 6
Marinette was panicking. She couldn't breathe.
He asked her out on a date.
Xavier asked her out on a date.
She didn’t know whether she should jump around her room squealing with joy or scream in frustration.
She didn’t know what to wear.
“Tikki!” Marinette wailed, “What do I wear?”
The red kwami stared at her chosen with a bored expression. “Just pick one of those outfits.”
The dark-haired girl glanced at the clothes around her room before studying the outfits on her bed.
“Those clothes aren’t good enough.”
Tikki flew towards a dress and pointed at it. “You’re wearing that.”
“But-” Marinette tried to protest.
“You’re wearing that,” Tikki demanded.
Marinette could not bring herself to argue with the tiny goddess. She was simply too tired. Marinette let out a yawn. “Sorry bout’ this, Tikki,” Marinette murmured. Tikki’s sky blue eyes met Marinette’s tired ones. “I just don’t want to look stupid in from him.”
“You’re not going to look stupid.”
“You sure?”
Tikki rolled her eyes. Her chosen was just so oblivious sometimes.
How was it possible for someone to be so smart yet so dumb at the same time?
Tikki had no idea. She gave Marinette a glance.
Marinette was sitting on the edge of her bed looking so defeated. Her shoulders were hunched and her hair was a mess. She was clenching her fists, no doubt believing what she was actually saying about herself.
She looked so broken.
Tikki quickly flew to Marinette to give her a hug on her cheek. “You won’t look stupid, Marinette.” the flying kwami assured. “And even if you do, he won’t care. He saw all the posters of Adrien in your room, remember?” Marinette nodded and Tikki quickly smiled, “See, and even after that he helped you.”
“I know.” Marinette’s voice wavered.
As much as Marinette didn’t want to let Lila and Adrien’s remarks get to her. It just didn’t work. It still hurt.
A lot.
It didn’t help that Marinette read some of the comments on her recent Instagram post. At first, all the comments she saw were so supportive. But as Marinette kept scrolling, the comments quickly got worse.
It went from people insulting her looks to telling her that she wasn't worth it. That she should just kill herself. There were so many comments telling Marinette that she was just a waste of space. Telling her that she was useless and that no one would ever love her.
When enough people tell you the same things over and over again, you know it’s true.
It only took a few minutes before Marinette was ready to burst into tears. Luckily, she was able to hold it in until the bell rang, telling the student that it was time to go home.
By the time Marinette shut her trapdoor, her face was streaming with tears. She was stupid. She never should've posted that picture. She should've never listened to Xavier. She should’ve just left it alone.
Marinette glared at her phone.
Stupid.
Stupid.
Stupid.
Marinette felt tears on her cheeks and knew that her kwami was looking at her with pity.
It was the same look Tikki was giving her now.
“Stop looking at me like that.”
“Like what?” Tikki innocently asked.
“With those eyes. You feel bad for me. I hate it. I hate feeling like this. I hate feeling useless.”
Tikki shut her eyes before sitting on Marinette’s palm. “XY is right you know.” Marinette tilted her head in confusion. “You need to talk to someone about this.”
“About what?”
“About this.” Tikki’s voice was frustrated. She was a goddess. She was one of the most powerful beings alive. She was creation itself. So how come she can’t keep Marinette happy? “You’re not feeling okay Marinette.” Tikki was close to crying now. “Please.” her voice sounded so desperate it made Marinette want to give her kwami a hug. “Just talk to someone. Anyone.”
“I can't!” Marinette snapped. “There’s no one I can talk to. Nino and Alya won’t understand. They don’t know I'm Ladybug. They won’t understand why I’m so stressed. I can’t talk to Chat Noir because he’s a jerk. He’ll-” Marinette’s voice lowered. “He’ll try to use my emotional state to manipulate me and Xavier-” Marinette let out a harsh laugh. “I don’t want to bother him. He’s helped me enough. Especially since he gave me something to look forward to tomorrow.” Marinette gave Tikki a small smile. “He asked me on a date.”
“Then talk to me,” she whispered, floating next to Marinette’s side. “Please.”

Growing up, XY had no friends. He was always alone. No one wanted to hang out with him. All he had was his mom and dad.
XY knew he looked a lot like his mom. Everyone told him that.
Maybe that’s why his dad hated him. XY had his mom’s golden blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. People often told XY that he had her soft smile as well.
As he grew up, his mom often told XY that he reminded her a lot of herself when she was younger. Hearing that always made XY smile. He always wanted to be like his mother.
His mother was the best person he ever met. She was always there for him. She reminded XY that she loved him whenever she could. She played with him when he had no one to hang out with. She gave him a hug whenever a kid was picking on him. And she always gave him the best advice.
XY thought he would be with his mom forever.
But she’s gone now.
XY missed her.
He missed her smile.
He missed her laugh.
He missed how she always gave him a warm hug whenever he went home crying because someone told him that he wasn’t worth anything.
And most importantly, he missed how she always reminded him that she loved him.
Now?
No one did.
XY crinkled his nose in disgust.
He was never close with his father. As he grew up, Bob Roth was just there. He was just another person in the house.
Looking back at it, XY wished he tried harder to have a relationship with his dad.
At least if he did, he wouldn’t feel so alone.
XY stared at his arms. He could see the faint outlines of the cuts he used to make after he found out that his mom was gone.
The cuts weren’t obvious. Just a little scratch whenever he felt like he needed to feel something.
The pain helped him feel better.
In fact, you could barely see the cuts now. You would need magnifying glasses to even notice that there was something on his arm.
XY let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. He needed to get over himself.
He was just XY. A musician that stole music from other people. He was useless.
XY forced himself to shut his eyes. “Stop it.” he murmured to himself, “These thoughts won’t help you with anything.” He took a deep breath.
In.
Out.
In.
Out.
In. Out.
XY’s eyes snapped open and he groaned.
This wasn’t helping.
His eyes drifted to his phone. Hoping that Marinette sent him a text.
Nothing.
What was he trying to convince himself? Marinette didn’t need to text him. She had other friends.
If he really wanted to talk to her, he should text her.
But he couldn’t. He didn’t want to bother her with his problems.
She was dealing with enough.
He was lucky that Marinette opened up to him about all the drama that’s going on with the Lila girl and Adrien. But he knew that she wasn’t telling him everything.
He couldn’t do anything about that though. He couldn’t force her to tell him everything. But he wanted to help her.
The last time they talked in person she looked so defeated. Marinette looked like she was holding the weight of the world on her shoulders.
She hid it well.
XY only figured it out today.
His reflection was staring at him through the mirror. His eyes were red and his usual golden hair was dull and messy. He looked pathetic.
But as he continued to stare at himself in the mirror, he knew why wanted to help Marinette so much.
She reminded him too much of himself right after his mom died.
XY let out a sad smile. Even though she was going through so many things, she agreed to go on a date with him.
He couldn’t wait to hang out with her.
Which was why he needed to get himself together. He couldn’t look like a mess in front of Marinette.
XY didn’t need Marinette to regret her decision to go out with him.
He couldn't lose her.
Marinette was too important to him.
He wouldn’t lose anyone he loved ever again.

I can’t talk to Chat Noir because he’s a jerk. He’ll-” Marinette’s voice lowered. “He’ll try to use my emotional state to manipulate me and Xavier-” Marinette let out a harsh laugh. “I don’t want to bother him. He’s helped me enough. Especially since he gave me something to look forward to tomorrow.” Marinette gave Tikki a small smile. “He asked me on a date.”
“Then talk to me,” she whispered, floating next to Marinette’s side. “Please.”

Growing up, XY had no friends. He was always alone. No one wanted to hang out with him. All he had was his mom and dad.
XY knew he looked a lot like his mom. Everyone told him that.
Maybe that’s why his dad hated him. XY had his mom’s golden blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. People often told XY that he had her soft smile as well.
As he grew up, his mom often told XY that he reminded her a lot of herself when she was younger. Hearing that always made XY smile. He always wanted to be like his mother.
His mother was the best person he ever met. She was always there for him. She reminded XY that she loved him whenever she could. She played with him when he had no one to hang out with. She gave him a hug whenever a kid was picking on him. And she always gave him the best advice.
XY thought he would be with his mom forever.
But she’s gone now.
XY missed her.
He missed her smile.
He missed her laugh.
He missed how she always gave him a warm hug whenever he went home crying because someone told him that he wasn’t worth anything.
And most importantly, he missed how she always reminded him that she loved him.
Now?
No one did.
XY crinkled his nose in disgust.
He was never close with his father. As he grew up, Bob Roth was just there. He was just another person in the house.
Looking back at it, XY wished he tried harder to have a relationship with his dad.
At least if he did, he wouldn’t feel so alone.
XY stared at his arms. He could see the faint outlines of the cuts he used to make after he found out that his mom was gone.
The cuts weren’t obvious. Just a little scratch whenever he felt like he needed to feel something.
The pain helped him feel better.
In fact, you could barely see the cuts now. You would need magnifying glasses to even notice that there was something on his arm.
XY let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. He needed to get over himself.
He was just XY. A musician that stole music from other people. He was useless.
XY forced himself to shut his eyes. “Stop it.” he murmured to himself, “These thoughts won’t help you with anything.” He took a deep breath.
In.
Out.
In.
Out.
In. Out.
XY’s eyes snapped open and he groaned.
This wasn’t helping.
His eyes drifted to his phone. Hoping that Marinette sent him a text.
Nothing.
What was he trying to convince himself? Marinette didn’t need to text him. She had other friends.
If he really wanted to talk to her, he should text her.
But he couldn’t. He didn’t want to bother her with his problems.
She was dealing with enough.
He was lucky that Marinette opened up to him about all the drama that’s going on with the Lila girl and Adrien. But he knew that she wasn’t telling him everything.
He couldn’t do anything about that though. He couldn’t force her to tell him everything. But he wanted to help her.
The last time they talked in person she looked so defeated. Marinette looked like she was holding the weight of the world on her shoulders.
She hid it well.
XY only figured it out today.
His reflection was staring at him through the mirror. His eyes were red and his usual golden hair was dull and messy. He looked pathetic.
But as he continued to stare at himself in the mirror, he knew why wanted to help Marinette so much.
She reminded him too much of himself right after his mom died.
XY let out a sad smile. Even though she was going through so many things, she agreed to go on a date with him.
He couldn’t wait to hang out with her.
Which was why he needed to get himself together. He couldn’t look like a mess in front of Marinette.
XY didn’t need Marinette to regret her decision to go out with him.
He couldn't lose her.
Marinette was too important to him.
He wouldn’t lose anyone he loved ever again.

Chapter 7
Chloe Bourgeois was not a good person.
Everybody knew that.
People believed that she was nothing but a spoiled brat.
And in a way, Chloe knew that they were right.
Her dad was the mayor. She grew up surrounded by the most influential people and she watched as her dad manipulated everyone to get what he wanted.
She grew up believing it was normal.
So as the years passed and her parents began to drift apart from her, Chloe did what her dad did best.
Chloe began to manipulate everyone around her.
She made Paris believe that she was nothing but a spoiled brat who had her daddy wrapped around her pinky finger.
It was too easy.
No one questioned her attitude.
After all, Paris only saw a basic white girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
It made Chloe want to scream. She wanted a challenge.
She hated how people immediately did what she wanted them to do just because she threatened to call her dad.
Do they even know that the laws in Paris said that it was illegal?
How could people be so stupid?
It took Chloe several days before she decided to use this to her advantage.
In a matter of weeks, Chloe had everyone in Paris believing that she had no worth. The only thing she was good at was threatening everyone around her, just because she was the mayor’s daughter.
Then, Chloe met Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Oh, how Chloe loved the tiny pigtailed girl.
Someone who actually made things interesting.
Someone who gave her a challenge.
But as Chloe continued to torment the pigtailed girl, Marinette slowly stopped defending herself.
Chloe didn’t know why.
She thought that the more she made Marinette miserable, the more Marinette would fight back against her.
So why? Why did Marinette just accept the awful things that Chloe did to her?
It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
Her daddy always told her that the more you push someone towards the edge, the more they’ll push back.
That’s how politics worked!
Marinette was supposed to fight back and then they would slowly become friends.
Chloe and Marinette were supposed to rule Paris together.
Side by side.
The two five year olds were supposed to become sisters in everything but blood.
It took years before Chloe realized what went wrong with her plan.
Marinette didn’t grow up with manipulative people. Chloe did.
Marinette grew up surrounded by people who loved her. Chloe didn’t.
Marinette is a good person. Chloe isn’t.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Everyone knew that Marinette was a bubbly child.
She was always happy and smiling, even as a baby.
When she finally learned how to talk, she couldn’t stop. She would walk around the bakery asking people if they needed help. Marinette could always put a smile on everyone’s faces.
At least that’s what she believed.
Marinette was excited for her first day of school. She was finally five years old. She could attend école.
She couldn’t wait to make friends.
Her papa even let her take a pack of macarons from the bakery so that she could share them with her class.
Her papa told her that a good way to make friends was to give them food.
And he was right!
Everyone wanted to be Marinette’s friend. Even when she didn’t have food to give them.
They still wanted to get to know her. It was really fun.
Marinette never noticed the blonde girl from the back of the room staring at her with her calculating blue eyes.
As the weeks passed, Marinette began to realize that something was wrong.
It started off small.
But then it began to become more obvious.
Her friends began to ignore her.
But Marinette could tell that they didn’t want to, she could see the fear in their eyes.
But why?
Marinette didn’t think she looked scary. Her mama and papa always told her she was cute.
Marinette’s eyes looked around the room and noticed that a blonde girl was staring at her.
Marinette’s dark blue eyes met the girl’s light ones.
The girl raised an eyebrow at her. As if asking, what do you want?
Marinette looked away and asked the boy next to her, Ryan, if he knew the girl's name.
The dark-skinned boy stared at her with his green eyes as if she was dumb and muttured a quick, “Chloe. Her name is Chloe Bourgeois.”
Marinette felt her eyebrows scrunch up in confusion. Why did that name sound so familiar?
She tapped her pencil against her desk.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
Chloe was the mayor’s daughter. Marinette realized, her blue eyes were wide and she turned to look at the blonde again. She’s pretty.
Ryan caught her staring at Chloe. “Don’t talk to her.”
Marinette looked at him with bewilderment. “What? Why?”
“You don’t know?”
“Know what?” Marinette didn’t know anything. She didn’t even know that Chloe was in her class at all. She never noticed the blonde until now!
“She told everyone to stop hanging out with you.” Ryan slowly told her.
“Why?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t even know her.”
“Well, she doesn’t like you.”
“But why would she not like me if I don’t even know her.”
“I don’t know.” Ryan repeated. “Look. I already took a risk by even talking to you.”
“Wha-”
Ryan interrupted her. “Stop talking to me!”
The whole class stared at them and Marinette felt her cheeks heat up. She heard her teacher’s booming voice ask, “What’s going on there?”
Ryan pointed at her. “She keeps talking to me even though I told her to stop, Ms. Delgado.”
Snitch.
Ms. Delgado’s dark brown eyes glared at the five year old. “Marinette, we are learning right now. You can talk to him during recess.” Her teacher pointed at the problem on the board. “Since you keep talking, I’m guessing that means that you know what we’re doing.”
The pigtailed girl shook her head. “No, I don’t know what we’re learning about.”
“Ma’am.”
Marinette clenched her fists, “No, I don’t know what we’re learning about ma’am.”
“That’s what I thought.” Marinette lowered her eyes so that her teacher couldn’t see them. “As punishment, you will stay here five minutes after I dismiss everyone for recess.” Marinette gulped. She could feel everyone’s eyes on her. “Am I understood?”
Marinette could only whisper a quick, “Yes, ma’am.”
Things only got worse after that.
Marinette didn’t know what happened during the five minutes she missed but no one could even look at her. Whenever she tried to talk to another kid, they would ignore her. Some would even glare at her.
Marinette didn’t know what she did wrong. She wasn’t the first person to get in trouble. So why was everyone only ignoring her and not the other kids that got in trouble too.
It wasn’t fair.
Why didn’t anyone like her anymore?
She didn’t even notice someone approaching her until it was too late.
“What a crybaby.” she heard a girl scoff.
Marinette didn’t even notice that she was crying. She tried to wipe the tears from her face but it was too late. She glanced up and saw the blonde girl glaring at her. “What do you want?” Marinette’s voice was hoarse.
“From you? I want nothing.” The way that Chloe was looking at her made Marinette uncomfortable. “I thought I had competition but looking at you right now, you’re just pathetic. Even more pathetic than the macaroons you brought to school on our first day.” Chloe let out a shrill laugh. “You’re worth nothing.”
As Chloe started to walk away, Marinette found her voice. “I am not pathetic. I’m not the one who made people stop being friends with me because they were jealous.”
Chloe’s icy blue eyes glared at Marinette, “Jealous? Why would I be jealous of you?” Marinette opened her mouth to reply before Chloe cut her off, “Trust me. No one wanted to be friends with you anyways. I just gave them a reason to stop.”
“You’re lying!” Marinette protested. Her tiny body was shaking. “They were my friends. And they wanted to be my friends until you opened your big stupid mouth.”
Chloe walked towards Marinette. Every step forward that Chloe made, Marinette took a step back.
A few seconds later, Marinette felt her back against a wall. She saw Chloe smirk. “Pathetic and stupid.” Chloe taunted. “You really are just a baker’s daughter.” Marinette felt her eyes tearing up and judging by the way Chloe was walking closer towards her, Marinette knew that Chloe noticed.
Marinette waited for Chloe to say something but she didn’t. Instead, Chloe was just staring at her. “You’re wrong.” Marinette spat out. “You’re wrong.”
She saw Chloe smirk before she began to walk away from her. “We’ll see. Marinette. But trust me,” Chloe’s eyes met hers. “It’ll only get worse from here.”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Chloe knew that she didn’t deserve Marinette’s forgiveness. She made her école years a living hell.
Chloe made sure that no one wanted to be her friend.
And the sad part was that it was too easy.
If they were her actual friends, then they would’ve at least tried to argue against Chloe. But nope. They didn’t even care. They just let it happen.
People would argue that they didn’t know any better. They were just kids, everyone would say, it was their first year of attending school. They didn’t know any better.
It made Chloe want to scoff. Those kids watched as she humiliated Marinette over and over again.
For six years.
Sure, they were probably scared of Chloe because of who her father was. But all Chloe told them was to ignore Marinette. Make sure that she doesn’t have friends.
That’s it.
Of course, the last threat didn’t even matter because Nino befriended her. But at least it gave Marinette a bit of her fire back.
Too bad it was nothing more than a weak flame.
It was so weak that Chloe would’ve blown it out with a swish of her ponytail.
Honestly, Chloe knew that she should’ve stopped tormenting Marinette right after she stopped defending herself.
But it was too late.
The friends that Marinette made during the first few weeks of school loved the fact that they could do anything to Marinette and they wouldn’t get in trouble.
This happened a few years after Chloe made her first threat against Marinette. They were in what, their final year of école.
Chloe made sure that everyone stayed in the same class during their years of école.
Did she regret it?
Yes.
Did it teach Chloe anything?
Yes.
Those six years Chloe spent with the class, she promised herself one thing.
She would never be gullible in making friends.
The people that Marinette once called her friends, made her final year a living hell.
They treated her worse than Chloe ever did.
Way worse.
All Chloe did was torment Marinette verbally.
She never pretended to be someone’s friend only to stab them in the back.
Chloe had standards.
Plus, Chloe never meant for things to go that far.
So when Marinette wasn’t in the classroom, Chloe did what she knew best.
Manipulate the people around her.
Chloe didn’t know if Marinette noticed the difference in the class dynamic, but it was the least she could do.
In the next year, Chloe would never see the imbeciles around her again. It would only be Chloe, Marinette, and Nino who would be attending Francois Dupont.
Chloe would have a fresh start. Then she would slowly begin to redeem herself. And she would apologize to Marinette.
So, as Chloe sat on the edge of her bed, her phone in her hand. She finally liked the picture that she’s been staring at for the past few minutes.
After all, it was the least she could do.

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.

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!”
