Maybe Adrien is not a sentimonster after all, and they are simply going for a less fucked up concept like using your son's digitalized avatar in whatever way you seem fit.

How likely I think the Miracuclass would be to like Taylor Swift:

Marinette: She's a Swiftie 100%. She's a Speak Now and Midnights girlie.

Alya: Also a Swiftie. She's deep on the conspiracy theories and Easter eggs

Nino: Likes some of her singles, but not in deep enough to consider himself a "Swiftie"

Adrien: Absolutely a Swifite. He's got merch and all the vinyl variants and deluxe editions. He's a folklore boy bc he often needs a good cry. peace is his jam.

Chloe: She's a fake Swiftie. She's a Swiftie for clout, but she really only knows the singles. She would have sided with Kanye/Kim during the Rep era, then came back when Taylor was popular again like nothing happened.

Sabrina: She likes Taylor, but she has to follow Chloe's opinion. She does blast Mean when she's alone in her room though.

Rose: She loves Taylor. Lover girlie, but she will also throw down to Reputation.

Juleka: Not particularly a TS fan, but she supports Rose loving her.

Max: Not really his vibe.

Kim: He tries to be lowkey about it, but he's actually a huge Swiftie. He cries to All Too Well in the shower.

Mylene: Mylene is very concerned with her carbon emissions and Taylor being a billionaire. She has her political reservations, but doesn't hate Taylor personally.

Ivan: Similar to Mylene, but also doesn't really care for her music too much. Not his vibe.

Alix: She likes a few songs, but isn't really a Swiftie.

Nathaniel: Closet Swiftie. He pretends not to like her, but when he's alone he absolutely listens to her deep cuts.

Lila: She pretends to like Taylor for clout, like Chloe, but she's smarter about it.

Bonus Stories of A Little Too Much Part 1

Honestly, I’m planning to post all of the bonuses when I finish it but sadly it takes more time than I’m planned to :(. I don’t want to make you guys waiting, so I’m posting half of the bonuses right now. There are still 3 or 2 more bonuses that I still writing at the moment.

Main Story || Bonus 1 (You’re here) || Bonus 2

Pairing(s): Damian Wayne (DC) x Marinette Dupain-Cheng (MLB)

Description: Lila being threatened by a random girl, even though she is the one who threatens that girl. Alya being salty because she has been left out by Marinette. And Damian being the over-protective boyfriend in front of Agreste.

Word Count: Roughly around 3557 words?

Warnings: I’m putting my OC into this just for the sake of launching “Exposing Lila’s lies” plan. I’m really sorry if you didn’t like it :(

Just to let you guys know, in this version, Adrien is just a little innocent bean who tried his best on doing whatever he is doing now since this is his first public school. So Adrien is kind indeed (He is the one who makes ---or force--- Lila convince the school to prevent Marinette from being expelled, after all. Just like in the canon).

But he is too soft so whenever he reprimanding his friends whenever they tried to bully Marinette. They just replied, "Oh you're too kind, Adrien. Marinette doesn't deserve you," which got Adrien confused and disappointed, not towards Marinette, but towards himself and his classmate. To him because he cannot be more firm to his friends, and his classmate because.. they choose to believe Lila over Marinette, the girl who always helps them, the girl who used to be called 'our everyday ladybug'.

And the last thing, here's a shortlist to clarify somethings:

Damian, Jason, and Tim were the only ones who already met the French class. Although the French class didn't know Tim since he's just observing them from afar.

Damian never introduce his last name to the French class, because why would he? Although you can see whenever they travel around WE, the employees there always greet him and Jason. Does the French class notice this? Nope. They're too busy with praising Lila's lies. The only one who notices this are Marinette, Adrien, and Chloe.

Unlike Damian, Jason introduces his last name too. It such a shame the French class never took a short lesson from the internet before they went to Gotham, though. Because if they are, they're going to found out Lila's lies about her knowing Wayne's family since her childhood. The only one who recognizes his last name is, again, it's the same people, Marinette, Adrien, and Chloe.

Dick never met the French class because he'd been busy ---going for a trip--- with his girlfriend.

While the French class is indeed leaving Gotham, Marinette stays in the Gotham for a few weeks more, much to Damian's delight. She stays because she was offered to enter the fashion contest held by a famous designer in Gotham. From then on, she stays in Wayne's place and her very existence made the atmosphere in the mansion look brighter than ever.

Maribat inspired by @ozmav and the songfic “A Little Too Much” inspired by @officiallyathiana.

Bonus Story 1. "She's a bully? That's so bullshit. Just look at her eyes. It's a deep pure love."

Did you guys really think Lila will just stay quiet when Marinette takes that boy's hand with a happy look while the inhumanly handsome boy is singing to her? Oho, of course not.

Lila is happy when she saw the same-sad-lonely look on Marinette's face this morning. But that look instantly vanish when these strangers but very handsome boys start playing the guitar while the center one is singing an English song? Oh, well, whatever. She doesn't really care anyway.

"Oh, what is this? who're these boys?" the crowd started to gather and of course, her classmates are curious as to what is happening.

"Oh! Aren't they're the employee in WE when we went to Gotham's city on the last trip?" said one of her classmates.

This is a perfect chance! thinks Lila. She said to the people around her, "Ohh... these must be the people who sent by my damiboo! He's such a romantic person after all."

Yes, she started to lie that she's been dating Damian Wayne ever since she went to Wayne Enterprise in the last class trip. But why, from all of the people, she chooses Damian Wayne? Isn't that stupid to lie that you've been dating the son of WE's CEO when you were in the building itself? Because there's a high chance that someone will find out your lies...?

Well, it's simple. First, it's because he's hella rich. Secondly, it's because his father is one of the most influential people in the world. Thirdly, she's pretty sure her classmates were stupid enough to believe this lie. And the result? It's very satisfying. Her classmates are very impressed with her. See? her classmates indeed believe her! And no one clarifies her at the end of the trip so she's safe. ...Right?

Of course who the first person who will fall to her lie? Yup, it's her best friend, Alya Césaire. "Wow, girl! So this is a romance song?! That's so sweet! You're indeed an awesome girl! I'm so lucky to be your best friend."

Lila is bashfully laughing, "Oh Alya, you flatter me! I'm not that awesome... Because if I am indeed awesome, there are still people who think otherwise... Like Marinette..." Yes, she's trying to provoke them by telling bad about Marinette without them noticing.

Alya sighing, visibly looks tired with Marinette-Lila's problem, and then she gives her encouraging smile, "Don't take Marinette's words to your heart, Lila. I don't know since when she changes into a bad person... She was very kind after all... Right now, she's still clouded with her jealous. Give her time and I am sure she'll eventually warm up to you just like she usually did to us."

Lila just gives her a tiny fake smile. Not really feeling satisfied because Marinette didn't respond at all. She still staring at the boys with wide eyes, clearly looked shocked because of something.

But much to her surprise, one of the boys who sit at the center, the one who's singing, suddenly stop playing the guitar and stood up. He sauntered to... here??

Lila thought the boy sauntered to her because he was captivated by her beauty. And Alya being Alya just shaking with excitement and whisper shouting to her, "Oh girl! He's coming here!!".

Lila then replied with full confidence and smug face, "He probably was captivated with me... Although he's indeed handsome sadly I already dating Damiboo, remember? He will be really sad if I leave him...".

And when the boy was near them, Lila goes saying, "I'm sorry, I know you were--" only to see the boy pass her and Alya. At first, they were confused as hell, but when the boy stops, directly, in front of her, Marinette. The confused look on Lila's face instantly changes into a raged look. How dare she. Plus there was a cough sound beside her, that sound similar to when they were trying to hide their laughter. She was about to stride to that boy and Marinette, ready to destroy their happiness until---

"At least you don't have to be worried about breaking up with your boyfriend," someone said suddenly, making her stop. The sound oddly came from the same direction as before. The one who was coughing.

"Excuse me?" ask Lila with a hint of anger, she turns to that person, only to find a girl who wearing... swirling glasses? who the fu** wore that on this era??

The girl just smiled "Oh I'm sorry, I just heard your talk with your friend because I've been standing next to you. And I thought at that time you were worried because you thought that handsome boy would confess to you when you already have your damiboo, which I thought, he is your boyfriend".

Lila notices her french accent is a bit weird, like there's a hint of foreign accent. ...And did she just hears the sarcasm in her tone?

"Who are you and did... you just sarcasm me?" Lila asked with a fake smile on her face, she tries to maintain her image. Although on the inside, all she felt is just pure rage. Towards Marinette... and this random girl.

Alya when realized what Lila means, turns around to face that random girl, ready to shout at her for being rude to Lila, only to cut off by that same girl before she can say anything.

"I am really sorry if I offend you in any way... Because it's really my pure intention to cheer you up since you look so worried.." the girl looks really sad with head turns down. "...And to tell you the truth, I am still new in here... so maybe my French isn't that good and causing this misunderstanding..." She then proceeds to cry little.

This girl. This girl reminds her of someone. Oh right... Isn't that someone is herself when she still new at school? When the class still close to Marinette?

Alya being the nice person she is, quickly turns panic while trying to console that random girl, "Oh don't be sad, girl..! Lila probably just a bit tired with Marinette's behavior and misheard your words!".

The girl then looks at them with a surprised look, her tears have long gone, "Your name is Lila too?!".

"...Yes, Is there something wrong?" Lila is suspicious of her. Because... how do you compete with your same kind? Wait.. don't tell her, even their name---

"No no no! I'm just surprised because my name is Lila too! Well, actually my name is Kamelia but everyone usually calls me Lila!" she said excitedly while beaming... a pure smile...

How the hell she did that? When she, Lila, clearly can tell that her smile is a fake one but at the same time, it looks so real. She's a good actor, she realized.

Alya then beaming too, happy to meet a friendly person. She then introduces her name too and suddenly they talked and talked as if they had been friends for a long time. Which is odd, Lila thinks. She has to do something, quickly, before this girl ruining her kingdom.

"So.. I heard you mention this Marinette a lot... If I may know, who she is? Is she troubling you guys..?" asked Kamelia, with the way her eyebrow scrunching, it's screaming 'I am worried about you guys' look.

Alya is the one who quick to reply, "Oh well, Marinette... was my best friend... She was my first friend when I moved here... She was kind, really kind... She always helps her friend whenever they're needed help... She always gave free macaroons to her friends every morning..." Alya's eyes oddly look blank for a glance, but when Lila blinks, her eyes look normal again. Weird... This is the second time she felt it... This odd feeling...

"..And then?" Kamelia looks at Alya with an encouraging smile, but Lila decided to reply to her instead of Alya. She's planning to manipulate this new girl and she's actually worried because she thinks this girl... is more dangerous than she looks.

"All people always said that Marinette is a kind person. She was their everyday ladybug after all. But after I moved here, I tried to befriend everyone which includes her. But maybe because I'm so close with the boy who she has a crush on, she decides to hate me and bully me..." Lila explained with a really sad face. And you can even hear the trembling of fear in her voice. Wow, Lila's really proud of her own skill.

"...Oh really?" that's just her reply. When Lila starts explaining, she can feel that Kamelia girl's attention turns to her and somehow her stare is... unnerving. But Lila ignored it and continue with her act. But when she replied, suddenly Lila felt shiver with how cold her voice sounds. Did she already figure out my act? My act should look perfectly fine! 

Alya somehow didn't notice the suddenly changed atmosphere and solemnly continue, "Yeah it's sadly true... Although I still believe one day Marinette will change and apologize to Lila..." at this remark, that Kamelia girl just oddly stays silent, Lila can see the way her mouth and brows are scrunching in displeasure. "...And we all can be friends like old times!". Oh yeah, keep dreaming on, Alya.

"Is Marinette is the girl that the boy was singing to?"

"Yeah! Although I'm confused. She was supposed to have a crush on this boy but somehow she and this other boy get close...? I can't believe she's such a cheater! Marinette is really changed... I don't even know her anymore...".

Lila then proceeds to console Alya, "Oh, Don't be sad, Alya. People can change after all. I am sure Marinette will be aware of her mistakes! Karma is always there, after all!".

"Yes, Alya. Don't worry because I believe too, that, Karma is always there." that Kamelia girl assured Alya, although Lila felt her words are more toward herself. But that's just her imagination, right?

"Well, I love talking with you guys. But sadly I have to go right now. My boyfriend probably will panic when he notices I'm gone for a long time!".

"Yeah, we're happy to meet you too, Kamelia! Probably I will just call you that from now on if that's okay for you since I don't want to confuse you with Lila, my friend."

"Oh, I don't mind!" said her with a beaming smile. That Kamelia girl then goes hugging Alya and Lila. But when this girl hugging Lila, oh she's surprised alright. Although she knows this Kamelia girl isn't an ordinary person who she can lie to, but to hear the tone Kamelia used changes drastically still manages to surprise her, "...She's a bully? That's so bullshit. Just look at her eyes. It's a deep pure love. While your eyes, it's a deep pure rage."

What? Right now, Lila is clearly furious with this girl, her hand is trembling and her face is redder than tomato. This Kamelia girl is clearly looking for a fight with her. First, she was mocking her with her sarcasm although she won't admit it. And then, her stare! It's was like judging her and Lila can tell that this girl won't believe her lies.

So she grabs the girl's wrist, hard, and suggesting to Alya that she will escort Kamelia back, afraid that she will be lost because Kamelia is still new in Paris before they take a quick exit.

When they pass a block building and Lila takes the girl straight into a nearby alley. Then, she releases her grip and glowers at her, "You...! I don't care who you are but now then you have already upset me, you will face the consequences too."

Not to her surprise, she just blinks and spoke with a bored tone, "What? Just like you did to Marinette?"

Lila ignores her sarcasm and continues her threat, "Not really, but maybe I will. I will find your friends, your family and then turn them against you, just like what I did to Marinette."

"Aah! So my hunch was true. You're the real bully here, Lila. Not Marinette," Kamelia gloats to herself while bobbing her head occasionally.

Lila scoffs, "Whatever you say, no one will believe you anyway. Because I already turn them all against Marinette. Although I don't feel satisfied because Marinette still looks brave even if she was being bullied by her own friends". Lila then distances herself, "You should remember this, Kamelia. You better not crossing your line or I will make sure, that threats will come true. And maybe I will get to turns your lovely boyfriend against you too."

And then she went, leaving Kamelia alone in the dark alley and missing her smirk, "I'd like to see you try... after you survive, that is."

Bonus Story 2. "Why they're here, Marinette?!"

"Hold it!"

The second they heard this, Marinette froze while Damian becomes rigid. They turn around to face the Class. Damian's mood abruptly turns into sour and he knows Marinette isn't happy with the way she tense and her grip on his hand are tighter (Although he doesn't mind that). His brothers aren't that far too, Tim just staring at the group with a bored look, Jason wholly glaring, and Dick just look confused, although he didn't appreciate the way the group's look at Marinette.

Marinette, yes, she was happy when she met Damian and she honestly thinks that they can go back to their place in peace. Not like this. Confronted by her Classmates. Although she can see there's no Lila in the group, which is strange but eh, that's very good for her. She doesn't want to face her lies again. She's tired okay?

"What is it, Alya?" asked Marinette, she tried to be kind, as kind as she can be. But let's see how far her friends will test her patience.

"Why they're here, Marinette?! Aren't they supposed to be in Gotham?"

"They're here because of me, Alya. And they can be wherever they want to,"

"Because of you? Oh Marinette, so you were in Gotham after we all left because you were seeking attention to them since your methods aren't work here," suddenly came a sickly sweet voice that makes Marinette shudder and she tried to swallow the nervous feeling that threatening to comes out.

There she stood, Lila, with her usual sickly fake smile.

"And you seducing the poor guy here, not knowing that he falls into your sweet trap all along," Lila then turns around to face Damian, and proceed to say solemnly with her broken English, "I know this is hard to believe, Mr. Damian. But Marinette here is not sweet as you think she is. She has been manipulating you all along, like what she did to all of us,"

She glances at Marinette before she takes a step forward to Damian, in which Marinette can feel Damian become tense and she tried to soothe his rage by rubbing gently his trembling hands. At this point, Marinette worried about Lila's safety if she keeps up with her lies in front of The Wayne Brothers, especially Damian. She knows Damian has been keeping his rage with her Class since they're taking a trip to WE back then. Heck, even she knows Damian has been secretly listing on how to get rid Lila on his "101 ways to get rid Marinette's bully", which she hopes it won't really happen.

"...In fact, she's been bullying me, Mr. Damian! And now as a victim, I'm worried about your safety too. You should leave her immediately..."

Damian scoff while he side-hug Marinette, ignoring the blush on Marinette's face, he mocks Lila in perfect french, "You're talking nonsense. As a matter of fact, that lines should turn towards you, Ms. Liela. Beside, Marinette is my girlfriend for 3 years and I already know her more than you know, Ms. Liela,"

"What?! Girlfriend?! No way! You're lying!"

"No, he's not lying, Alya. Damian is my boyfriend and that's why he comes here, to visit me."

"But.. but..."

Bonus Story 3. "But you have a massive crush with Adrien!"

The first time Alya know Damian is Marinette's boyfriend, she can't believe it! She shoots her past-best friend disbelieving looks while saying, "But you have a massive crush with Adrien!" which got a response from both boys.

"Keyword, had," Damian remarked,

"What?! ...She has a crush on me?" Adrien exclaimed with a surprised tone, his eyes visibly turns bigger.

"Again, keyword, it's had. So it's already in the past. There's no point in discussing it anymore. And you Agreste," Damian said while pointing to Adrien, Marinette tried to stop him but he still continues, "You better not try anything funny to Marinette because right now she's my girlfriend. Which is, Marinette is mine. And just to let you know that I don't like sharing." At this point, Marinette's face is red like a strawberry, and she tried miserably to conceal it.

"But she likes me... And I don't realize it until now.." Adrien shooting her 'I am so sorry' looks because at that time he really doesn't know that Marinette has a crush on him until now, and he keeps telling her about Kagami. Not to mention, he invited her, just to see him and Kagami being lovey-dovey! Although at that time, he thought Marinette and Luka are dating since she brought him too. It's must be hard to pretend to be okay when your crush telling you about their lovely date over and over again. It's like rubbing salt on your wound over and over again.

Marinette elbow Damian, hard, for being such an ass to Adrien. She already told him that Adrien is innocent. But maybe Damian is still jealous over her past-crush on Adrien or maybe he is a little upset because Adrien cannot keeps her classmate from bashing her which is not his fault okay? It's their classmate's fault.

"I admit I used to have a crush on you, Adrien. But, that crush merely turns into a platonic one after I got to know more with you. And you don't have to be sorry because it's no one fault. Now you're happy with Kagami and I am happy with Damian."

Adrien still seems unsure with this, he bit his lips and asked with a timid voice, "...So are we still friends..?".

Marinette then smiled at her best friend, because Adrien always homeschooled in the past, he rarely got a chance for socializing with people, even more with people who same age as him, so sometimes he feels insecure with himself, like right now.  "I thought we are best friends?" she asked back.

His face then visibly turns brighter, "..oh. Oh! Yes! Of course! Yes, we are best friends."

"What about us, Marinette??" ask Jason and Dirk with a fake pout which got Damian to groan in disgust, ashamed to have such kind of brothers. Although Tim is just nodding, agreeing with his brothers.

Marinette is giggling, sometimes The Wayne brothers may act like a child but they still care for each other, which includes her too, and that's why she loves them too. "Actually I already thought of you guys as my brothers that I never have," said her while scratching her cheeks, a pink color tinted, a bit embarrassed to admit. Not realizing, her behavior made several people turn into a blushing mess (yeah I'm talking about you, Damian), while there are people who felt more unhappy (And we can ignore that).

"Oh my bats, Marinette, why you are so cute and adorable!!!" cue their group hugs, minus Damian because he doesn't want to get involved with his brothers' group hug. No way.

"Damian! You have to marry Marinette asap! Because if you don't, Marinette will get taken away by other people, and we don't want Marinette to leave us!"

"Don't worry Todd. We'll get married when we're both in legal age for marriage," Damian said calmly, maybe he already planned it or maybe not. Nobody knows.

"Damian!!" she whined while she still being hugged.

"Uh, that is if you want to, Habibti..." Damian worried if he said wrong things because marriage is what a couple dream on, right? He pretty damn sure that marriage between him and Marinette is his happiest dream, and he will make sure that dream comes true. But only when Marinette wants it too, of course!

Marinette then let go of the group hug and frantically tried to explain, "O-of course I want to... But please don't talk about that here...", which gives Damian a chance to tease her.

"Ooh... so it's okay if we talk about it in more 'private' place?"

"Damian!!" Marinette whined for a second time, although this time, she hides her red face with her hand.

Damian just laughs, which made his brothers send him strange looks, they would never get used to this cheerful-Damian. "I'm just kidding, Habibti," he then proceeds to hug Marinette, trying to help her hide her embarrassment, although that's just his excuse. He just wants to be close to his girlfriend. And Marinette visibly looks content whenever he hugs her so that's a big win for him. His big ego, you mean.

Can’t go back

"DAMMIT KID!" Plagg was understandably mad "WHAT-what did I say about not fighting him" he was rubbing the bridge of his nose. It had been roughly an hour since he had de-transformed and the sun was getting ready to crest the horizon. Adrien sat quietly taking small sips of the now half gone bottle of whiskey that had proven instrumental in saving his life. Plagg sighed "You're one of if not the best wielders I've ever had, you know that" his tone was serious and meaningful which was unusual for him. Adrien reached up to put his hand on Plagg's head giving the floating cat a smile that was warm and genuine despite his now disfigured face.  

"What, you thought a couple of cuts and bruises were gonna put down this old alley cat? I thought you had more faith in me than that" he laughed then coughed a little.

Plagg removed Adriens hand from his head "You got shot three times and you still refused to get proper medical attention" he shook his head "you're tough but you are not invincible".

Adrien could see that Plagg was really hurting "Hehe...I know, if I was it would be boring after all" he paused for a moment "listen I know your concerned about me but-"

"Camembert wouldn't be the same without you kid, I don't want to lose the person in this era that I can really help" Plagg was tearing up and was getting ready to unleash a torrent. He was stopped when Adrien had reached and embraced him in a way that no other Miraculous wielder had before.  

Adrien's voice was soothing "I was going to say that I wasn't going to hold back anymore but if I can get you to act like this maybe I'll have to get messed up more often hehe". Plagg let the embrace go on for a few moments longer before pushing away and wiping his tears with a sniffle. 

"You better not, you stupid dork" they laughed as the street lights went out and sun began to shine its first rays over the city as it rose, the night was over.

Adrien spoke first "Come on we need plan my run away and find somewhere to crash" 

"Why? can't we just go home?" Plagg asked 

"Unfortunately no, my street clothes cover the bandages well enough but I can't exactly cover this-" he pointed to his now exposed teeth and the large scar that accompanied it. He explained "Even if I could cover it there's no hiding the speech problems that comes with it, I'd rather hide myself all together and wait for Ladybug"

Plagg sighed "Guess you're right ugh you owe me so much Camembert".

"HAHA if this goes as planned you can have all the Camembert you can handle but right now we need to get home and pack up. “Plagg, Claws Out" with the plan set Chat was off. Willy who had fled the tunnels following the marks made by Chat was wandering the city constantly looking over his shoulder. He was paranoid that Chat Noir was still somehow chasing him and the thought of having to face someone that had taken three shots terrified him.  

Eventually Willy found a secluded alley near a construction site that looked as good as any to hide in once he was settled next to one of the large disposal bins he closed his eyes to sleep. As Willy drifted off his mind flashed back to what he had done and the reality of what he had just tried to do was beginning to set in. "I didn't want this..." Willy was talking to himself holding his head, his breathing was unsteady and jagged.

"W-Willy..." a familiar voice filled his head.

"NO no I don't won't listen to you I...I'm not a life taker dammit" he yelled covering his ears and shaking his head like a madman. 

"Even if you rip your ears off your head you can't rid yourself of me but-" there was a long pause, long enough that Willy thought that Papillion had left. A regretful sounding sigh made it clear that he wasn't but something different "Goodbye and I'm sorry.'' Willy had enough memories of who he once was to know what happens when someone is de-evilized. The notion that the him that existed right now was about to be ,for all intents and purposes, erased filled him with a sense of terror and happiness. He didn't want to remember what he had done to one of the heroes of Paris, he wanted that wiped from his conscious.  

Unfortunately for Wild Willy he was not relieved of his powers like he had anticipated and wanted instead it appeared that Hawk Moth had abandoned him. Drawing his gun and staring at it for while two thoughts ran through his mind. The first came as he lifted the gun to his temple "This would be so much easier if I could be with my brother right here right now". The second came on the heels of the previous "NO NO its thoughts like that that got your here idiot" he lowered the gun throwing it at the wall in front of him.  

For what felt like hours he glared at it "Maybe it would be easier if I just renounce my Akuma and break the damn thing myself" he thought reaching out to grab the cursed weapon. He was about to give it his best shot when he remembered that only Ladybug could cleanse an Akuma and Chat had a score to settle, he holstered the gun and tried to sleep. The last thought he had that night was what let him sleep with relative ease "If I see him first I'll let that tom cat Chat Noir decide my fate".

Chat was back at the prison he called his house "Plagg, Claws in" 

"So Adrien, what's the plan?" Plagg asked as he flew over to his stash of Camembert.

Adrien responded "The plan is to pack up everything we need leave" grabbing his school bag he packed his electronics, school supplies and spare clothes. He looked around for anything else he might need when he spotted a knapsack and remembered he would need provisions for Plagg and himself. Stuffing it full of random instant foods and half of Plaggs cheese stash he strapped it to his back leaving the mess before leaving. Topping off the deception was a rope leading out the window stopping just short of the ground and for good measure he climbed over the wall being sure to leave marks.

Most of the people on the street were preoccupied and simply passed by only a single couple had stopped to stare at what they were seeing. Adrien Agreste, the male model who could have anything he ever wanted and he was hoping his back wall with two stuffed bags, who wouldn't stare. Adrien had noticed their stares however and lifted his finger gesturing for them to keep quiet the couple nodded nervously before picking up the pace and disappearing. It wasn't until a few seconds later that he had remembered he had nothing to cover his face then he also realized that he probably looked more like a robber than a runaway.  

Eyes wide he covered his mouth with one hand and ran in a seemingly random direction not knowing where to go and sleep deprived. All Adrien could do now was hope that the couple would keep quiet but the distinct lack of police sirens was an encouraging sign but he didn't want to press his luck. He desperately needed sleep and it was a school day but he also needed to find Wild Willy before he did anymore damage. As he ran a thought came to him "If I hurry I can make it to school early and ask for a medical mask from the nurse, take a cat nap and see if Nino's will let me crash at his place".   

With a plan in mind he mustered what energy he had left and picked up the pace determined to reach the school but before he could look around to get his bearings he was already there. Adrien had unconsciously auto piloted his way to the school and by the looks of it he was the only student there. Opting to use his shirt to cover his face now that he wasn't moving at high speed he walked inside and knocked on the door of the nurses office. As fate would have it she was there. 

"Oh Adrien, how are you uh why are you covering your face?" she asked curiously 

In a fake sick voice "I got a scratchy throat *cough cough* and I'm feeling a little queasy. Could I get a mask and lay down for a little?" he held his stomach doing his best to sell the act. 

"Yes of course come in come in, let me just call you father and-" she had the phone in her hand

"NO! *cough* no it's fine if he figured out I got sick he would never let me out of the house" she stopped just as she was about to put in his father's number. She gave him a concerned look as he sat on the couch but ,against her better judgement, she hesitantly put the phone down.

"Alright Adrien, I'll trust you" she said kneeling down to look through the cabinets for a mask for him to wear.  

Adrien let out a sigh of relief as the nurses searched the cabinets for a mask. “Thank you” he said, a tension filled the air as neither of them spoke a word. Eventually she found a box of colored hospital masks. 

"Take your pick" she said presenting the box to him, he reached for one that was all black.  

"I know you've already done me one favor but could you turn around...please" he asked with a soft tone to his voice. The nurse raised an eyebrow but complied with the request placing the box on his lap and turning around with her eyes covered. Dropping his shirt and donning his new mask he felt far more comfortable now, the mask was made of a soft fabric that tickled the exposed flesh it hid. After taking a moment to get used to the feeling "You can turn around now and sorry for being so strange".

"It is not my place to judge you or your actions Adrien, now lay down school will be starting in a few hours." she said with a kindness in her voice that set him at ease.

A loud ringing shook him from the deep sleep that he had fallen into while laying on the nurses couch until the school bell roused him from his sleep, classes were about to start. Pulling himself from the couch he rubbed his eyes trying to rub the groggy vision away to no avail, looking around he couldn't spot the nurse. He needed to get to class, he felt the need to thank the nurse for her hospitality but he didn't have time to wait for her so he wrote a note thanking her for the mask and nap. Gathering his things he placed the note on her desk and left closing the door behind him and heading to class.

The school day went by like it always had with only a mild pain in his abdomen bothering him but it was bearable. A few of Adrien's classmates were curious about why he was wearing a mask but he managed to convince them that he was sick and couldn't talk very well. Everything was going fine and he was now in Miss Bustiers class with Nino and Alya.  

"Dude what's with the mask, everyone is staring" Nino had asked before class.

Adrien broke from the act "I can't say right now I'll tell you after school," he said in a normal voice then changing back to his fake sick voice "-not doing too hot, hurts to talk" 

Nino raised an eyebrow but played along "Alright man no need to strain yourself, you finish the homework last night"? Adrien face palmed making a face of sudden remembrance. He had meant to do it after his patrol but after everything went south he had completely forgotten about it. The second bell rang and they took their seats Nino shook his head chuckling "No worries man you can copy off mine" Adrien nodded thankfully.  

Class had continued as it always did except with maybe a bit more staring than usual but the plan Adrien had made on the run seemed like it was going to work. At least it had looked that way, the annoying pain in his abdomen had been steadily growing worse over the course of the class and he was unable to hide it. Soon he was tasting copper and breathing was becoming difficult, he coughed tasting more copper and feeling a wetness on the inside of his mask.

Dropping the fake voice "Ma'am, can I go to the nurses office" he asked hastily suddenly standing in the isle. He kept one hand on the desk to support him as he tried to walk but stopped as another coughing fit took over causing him to fall to his knees.  

Miss Bustier was scared "Adrien, ar-are you ok?!" his coughing continued quickly becoming more and more violent and wet making it impossible to respond. He was gasping for air between each fit but the wetness that he was sure was blood made it difficult to inhale. The mask ,now dripping, was stained from black to a dark crimson with his blood. Taking a deep breath Adrien forced himself to his feet causing one of his wounds to tear open and begin bleeding. With one hand on his open wound he removed his mask covering his mouth with his free hand holding his mouth shut in a futile attempt to hold it back but there was no stopping it.  

The class let out a collective gasp mixed with a few screams of horror as he let out a final splattering cough. Adrien's attempt at stopping it only resulted in making it worse, blood exploded from behind his hands forcing itself through his fingers around the edges of his hand and through his teeth. Falling to his knees he wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his shirt looking down at the small pool of blood and growing red stain on his shirt mouth still dripping every so often.  

Casting his gaze about the room he saw everyone was in shock then looking to Nino he motioned for him to come over. It took him a moment to process but once it did Nino rushed to help Adrien to his feet.  

"I-I'll take him to the nurses office" Nino stuttered grabbing both their belongings as he helped Adrien out the door. Nino looked up to Alya for some support but only rushed out the door even faster as he saw she was recording. As they made their way to the office Adrien looked like all the color had drained from his skin "Come on dude, you'll make it through this" he said.  

"N-not the nurses office" Adrien mumbled.

Nino stopped dead "You're delusional dude come on we're almost there" he asserted continuing toward the nurse. Adrien was too weak from what had just happened to protest any further and Nino was too scared for his friend to listen. Nino knocked but the nurse wasn't there and the door was locked, panicking now he set his friend down. It wasn't until now that Nino had gotten a good look at Adrien and he very suddenly understood why he wore the mask the reveal shook him to his core. He didn't know what had happened but he did know his friend needed help immediately before running off he stuttered "S-s-stay here I-I'll get agh someone".  

The moment Nino was out of sight Plagg showed himself "Kid!? kid stay with me" he was zipping around checking Adrien's wound and lightly slapping him on the face.  

"I'm...I'm still here Plagg" Adrien didn't like this, he was weak and his vision was bad but the situation was only going to get worse if he couldn't escape and find somewhere to hide. He was in no position to be doing anything drastic ,just talking was hard, Plagg was panicking more and more as the seconds passed but they felt like minutes.  

Plagg stopped moving suddenly "Ok kid, I-uh...I think I have a plan to get you outta here" he floated down to Adrien's reopened wound "-just hold still this'll hurt". Plagg began chanting something in a language that sounded similar to Chinese but Adrien couldn't tell what was being said, all he knew was the pain was subsiding. When he was done the pain was gone and he could see again "Alright you should be...good...to-" Plagg had begun to fall.

 Adrien caught him "PLAGG?!" he yelled, the sound of a door flying open followed by the voices of Nino and Alya made him act on instinct. Donning his blood soaked mask he grabbed his bags quickly placing Plagg in his shirt pocket he ran for the bathrooms to hide and change out of his bloodied clothes.  

Nino returned with Alya only to find a blood stain in place of where he had left Adrien "Where'd he go" Alya asked sounding confused and concerned.

"I-I don't know I left him right here and now he's gone" Nino was scared and breathing quickly Alya placed a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to console him.  

"We'll find him-" she told him, making him look her in the eye "come on, lets see if the class will help" Nino nodded in agreement and he had begun to calm if only a little.

Adrien was in a bathroom stall holding Plagg "Plagg Plagg come on you floating stomach" he said shaking his exhausted companion. Then remembering the cheese he pulled out a large slice of Camembert waving it around in front of Plagg.

"Can I get a smellier piece?" Plagg asked faintly.

"Oh my god thank goodness you’re alive" Adrien said breathing a sigh of relief before putting Plagg on his shoulder and digging through the cheese bag for a smellier piece of cheese. "What did you do to me back there? The pain’s gone and I'm not coughing up blood" he asked finally finding a good chunk and handing it to Plagg.

"Ancient healing technique *chewing* very taxing on a single Kwami" Plagg explained while Adrien changed out of his bloodied clothes. It had been a few minutes since Adrien had disappeared on Nino and from the rumble above he knew that Nino and Alya had gotten the class involved. Pulling out his phone and was about to text Nino telling him to meet him behind the school "alone" but before he hit send a thought ran through his head. "It had been a few hours since I've run away from home" he was certain that his bodyguard would be on the lookout but he was surprised that an amber alert had yet to be issued.   

Just as the thought finished a new alert popped up on his phone.

"Breaking News, Young male model Adrien Agreste son of the famous designer Gabriel Agreste has been reported "missing" since early this morning. Police are actively looking for him now, if you or anyone you know has any clues as to his whereabouts please call the number on your screen now."

Frantically Adrien deleted the message he was about to send replacing it with a plea. "WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T CALL THAT NUMBER PLEASE! Nino I'll explain everything when I can just please do not call that number". Almost instantly after hitting send his phone rang but Adrien quickly declined the call texting back "Meet me behind the school then we can talk but come Alone.  Adrien didn't want to get anybody else involved but if he didn't assure Nino of the fact he ran was fine he would be running from the whole of Paris before the weekend.  

His phone buzzed, it was Nino "Where are you dude the whole class is freaking out, are you ok?" 

"Meet me in the back of the school in 5 and I'll explain but...yes I'm ok tell the class I said thanks and sorry for today" he texted back. Putting his phone away he looked to Plagg "Alright get in the bag" he held up the cheese stash, Plagg flew in without objection. After washing his face and mask with water one of the bathroom sinks he sneaked out one of the locker room windows and made his way to the back alley behind the school.

He peered cautiously around the corner seeing only Nino he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Nino was looking over his shoulder looking nervous, Adrien turned the corner approaching his friend slowly. The moment Nino saw Adrien he leaped at him giving Adrien a bear hug when he let go Nino held him giving him a quick look over with tears in his eyes. As much as Adrien would have liked to stay and tell him everything now was not the time.

Adrien looked his friend in the eye mask removed "Nino I'm fine...di-did you tell anyone-".

 Nino cut him off his voice strained and cracking "NO-no I said I was going to check around back, the rest are still inside". 

"Thank you Nino...now I have to ask you to tell no one that you found me. 

"But-" Nino tried to protest.

"And you can't tell anyone about my face and if anyone does you need to tell them to keep quiet about it, please" Adrien hung his head before looking at Nino. "I know this is a lot to ask of you, especially after I disappeared on you but I need you" the voices of his other classmates cut their conversation short. "Oh no I need to go" then holding up his phone "I'll always be in touch" he turned to run back the way he came.

Nino grabbed him from behind in an embrace saying only one thing "We're Familia Adrien". With those final words Nino let him go and ,as much as he wanted to stay, Adriren ran leaving one of his first real friends crying in the alley. The rest of the class entered the alley from behind Nino.

"Did you find him?" they asked.

Nino turned tears in his eyes running down his cheeks "...no, he's not here". 

Adrien hated leaving his friends ,especially Nino, like this but even if Ladybug could undo the physical scars there was no mending the emotional damage.  

"No going back now".
