Oooo. For the soulmate prompt, can you do dickinette? I don't think I've ever seen them as romantic soulmates before!

Holy shit this got away from me.

The day it changes is the day she finds out Adrien is Chat Noir.

It’s nothing… to personal.

Okay it is but isn’t.

Adrien to her was this kind and sweet boy with a good heart who was just a bit bad at expressing his feelings or his thoughts.

And he was that. He was. It was just…

Chat Noir.

Chat Noir was a flirt who wouldn’t take no for an answer and treated the whole thing as a game. And it wasn’t a game! It was serious! It was really serious and he just acted like it was one big joke!

She hated him in a way. But also loved him dearly. He was her partner, her best friend.

Her soulmate she found but she didn’t want him. Not anymore.

She perhaps could have put up with it. If he hadn’t been getting worse. But he had. He had and it hurt and maybe it was silly to just give up. They were teenagers. Teenagers do stupid stuff all the time. There was a reason people were highly discouraged from dating their soulmates as teens. It just put things completely out of whack.

Chat could change. He was a sheltered kid who was free now. But… it wasn’t enough to know that for Marinette.

Her soulmark was on the back of her neck. Music notes in green- his favourite music piece she knew because she had heard him talking about it.

On his arm was a red needle and thread.

Alya thought it perfect but agreed to her wish to be friends and get to know him first before they started dating. Her parents had done it. Her mama had noticed her favourite flowers on her papa and knew the rolling pin on her back was for him. But she’d waited.

“Love takes time and soulmates take time.” Her mom has told her. “I had one before this but we rushed to much and we were to… different. Our marks Changed.”

Changed marks. When you learned something about your soulmate or when you and your soulmate just didn’t click enough for your souls to settle into one another. Changed marks happened about eight times a year and they always made news. It was shocking.

There were rules about Changed marks, and Marinette followed them when she checked her neck and found a bright yellow and red robin on her neck.

She went and reported it to the local branch involved in soulmate hunting and when asked why she explained she discovered her soulmate wasn’t like she thought and she couldn’t deal with it. They said she was young and she agreed.

“But what he does… I can’t do it. I can’t deal with that.” She told them. They accepted and didn’t ask.

Of course someone leaked it to the news and everyone knew there was a case of a Changed mark going around in Paris. A teenager with a Changed mark.

Marinette wore her hair up, exposing her neck and waited. People gave her double looks. Legally she had to expose it so people would now know not to speak about it to her soulmate.

Alya stared at her with wide eyes and looked at Adrien, a dark look passing over her face. Marinette shook her head.

Of course they all cornered her, even Adrien though he wasn’t sure why, and asked.

“Your mark Changed girl! Why?” Alya asked and Adrien gasped. Marientte sighed, as the others eyed him. He didn’t know.

“I found out I was friends with him online and he had a crush on me. I told him no because I had a crush on someone else, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer. He wouldn’t leave me alone about it and didn’t take anything seriously. There are other reasons but when someone says no, and means it? You have to take it and back off. It’s not cute or funny. I got upset and told him off and he laughed at it. He laughed at my anger. I told him no and he said we were soulmates and I was just playing hard to get. I mean we were soulmates yes. But it doesn’t mean I have to say yes.” Alya looked pissed but Marientte shook her head. “I’d known who he was for a while. My soulmate I mean. I just wanted to get to know him first before telling him. My mama’s mark Changed to and she always told me to take a step back and make sure we were good friends. Not just think soulmate means yes. He’s a nice guy but I think he needs a reality check and to get some actual advice. His parents aren’t the greatest.”

They backed off, and Adrien was still confused she could tell even as Nino made him read a bunch of sexual harassment notes and watch a seminar.

He still didn’t get it and she wondered about his father after that.

But her mind was pulled away, towards the Teen Titans who came to Paris and had heart attacks. Apparently the French government had been playing the Akuma crisis off as a prank, and learning it wasn’t…

Marinette wasn’t sure what extactly was happening but she knew a lot of politicans were losing their jobs and going to jail. Which… good.

However it opened the door for more heroes to come to Paris- which was a good thing. Marinette could breath, getting advice and help. She loved it all. Chat didn’t but that was because he got a few scoldings for not taking things seriously. His mullish ‘everything gets fixed’ answer was shot down by Batman.

“What if your action kills Ladybug and you can’t use any of the other Miraculous to reset time?” And he had gone very quiet.

Spending time with other heroes felt amazing. She spent a lot of time with the Teen Titants, in particular Robin who laughed and joked with her. They traded quiet cackles over things and bonded being leaders.

It was with their help they beat Hawkmoth. After which, Marinette confronted Adrien. He took one look at her and something clicked, his face going pale.

“No.”

“Yes.” she told him. He looked heartbroken and she’d given him a pained smile. “Your makr with Change to you know.”

“I don’t want it to.” he breathed. She shrugged.

“Sorry.” with that she left. She took the Miraculous Box and left Paris, unable to stay. Unable to stay and look around see where she had been hurt. Where chaos had reigned. Where she had beaten Hawkmoth. Where Hawkmoth, in his final act had murdered her parents.

With a missile. She couldn’t bring them back.

Gabriel Agreste was going to prison for a very long time and Marinette was darkly pleased.

He deserved it.

Marinette left Paris without a backwards glance and no plans to contact anyone. Lila had destroyed her bonds with the class and Adrien was leaving to. And she wasn’t sure he would want to stay in contact with her after this.

Marinette headed to Gotham where she was accepted by Batman- or Bruce Wayne- and his family. She had a room for the Miraculous Box and Kwamis, she went to a fashion school.

She had Dick. Dick who was Robin and kind and sweet. Who tried to hide the ladybug on his shoulder but she smiled to herself.

She wasn’t ready. She wanted friends first.

But one day...
