Outfit Change

written for @adrinetteapril day 22

Adrien stared, slack-jawed, as Marinette walked into the classroom.

To be fair, he wasn’t the only one; the whole class sat in shocked silence, eyes trained on her, as she slid into her seat and pulled out her textbook as if nothing was different.

‘Marinette!’ Alya exclaimed, the first to get her voice back. ‘It’s Ladybug Appreciation Day, not Chat Noir!’

Marinette looked down at herself, at her black skirt and black top with its bright green paw-print, before scanning the room and eyeing the sea of red around her.

‘I must have missed the memo,’ she said coolly.

Adrien burst out laughing. The stares turned to him.

‘Something funny, Agreste?’ Marinette asked, cocking an eyebrow and crossing her arms against her chest. But the cat ears on her head entirely ruined the threatening look she was going for.

‘You look a-miaow-zing.’ He winked. His heart warmed at the bashful smile that rose on her lips, but he noted the lack of pink on her cheeks. He could do better.

‘I’d say you’re not so bad yourself,’ Marinette started, ‘but…’ she eyed the headband he was wearing, attached to which were a pair of bouncing antennae. She raised an eyebrow.

Adrien beamed. ‘You like them?’

She snorted. ‘Ladybug should take a leaf from your book.’

Adrien’s grin widened. But alas, he couldn’t grace Marinette with his ribbing reply for Madame Bustier chose that moment to walk into the room.

However, he made up for it by sneaking up on Marinette at her locker later that day.

‘Hey.’ He kept his face cool but laughed inside at how high she jumped.

‘Every time,’ Marinette muttered under her breath, annoyed at herself.

Adrien leaned into her space. ‘I see someone has it bad for a certain black cat.’ He twirled the green ribbon in her hair between his fingers.

‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,’ Marinette said airily.

‘No?’ He grinned and leaned so close his antennae tangled in her cat ears. Marinette pushed him back with two fingers and rolled her eyes, failing to hide the smile on her lips.

‘Seriously though,’ Adrien said, lowering his voice, ‘why didn’t you dress up as Ladybug?’

Marinette’s eyes flicked to see if anyone was listening. ‘I can’t dress up as myself,’ she then hissed. ‘It’s embarrassing!’

Adrien laughed. ‘So you dress up as me instead?’

His grin widened as Marinette stammered out an excuse and averted her gaze. There was that blush he’d been trying to get all day. And his heart swelled at the sight of her. The dusting of pink on her cheeks, the green ribbons against her dark hair, the little freckles on her nose that he could count he was so close. And her shining pink lips which were still moving frantically as they tried to come up with excuses.

He shut her up with a kiss.

Marinette gasped, and then melted into his embrace.

‘I love you, m’lady,’ Adrien whispered as he pulled back, falling deep into those stunning blue eyes. ‘Almost as much as your outfit.’

Marinette snorted. ‘You ruined it, Chaton. You ruined the moment just like those antennae ruin your outfit.’ She flicked them and smirked. And heat flared in Adrien’s cheeks as she grabbed his collar and pulled him close.

‘Now kiss me again.’

Day 9: Alternate Timeline

AO3

Marinette was going to drop-kick Gabriel Agreste into the Seine. It was step three in her master plan.

Step 1) Call a class meeting

Step 2) Don’t break up with Adrien because Gabriel Agreste is literally the worst person on the planet and won’t notice anyways

Step 2a) Once the plan has been explained, stage a dramatic break-up in front the house.

Step 3) Drop-kick Gabriel Agreste into the Seine

She was still working on the details of getting from step two to step three, but it was going to happen. “I’m sure you’re all wondering why I called you here today,” Marinette began, the entire class minus Adrien crammed into her living room.

“Has someone been murdered?” Alix asked.

“What, no –”

“Cause that’s how the detective always reveals there’s a murderer in the room.”

“There might be after this is over,” Alya said.

“No murder,” Marinette said. “This is about Adrien.”

“Ooh, are we planning a surprise?” Rose asked, bouncing on the tips of her toes.

“No. Adrien’s father – well, Nathalie carrying a tablet he was on, came into the bakery the other day and demanded I break up with Adrien because it ‘bad for his image.’” There was an immediate uproar from the class.

“Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!”

“So not cool!”

“That is statistically incorrect.”

Alya whistled, bringing the class’s attention back to Marinette. “Thanks, Alya. Anyways, he threatened to pull Adrien out of school if I didn’t do it.” There was another outbreak of angry mutterings. “For once, M. Agreste being the worst actually works in our favor. After this meeting I’m going to go dramatically break up with Adrien – he’s already in on it. Then we’re going to keep dating in secret.”

“Or, less then secretly,” Alya grinned.

“Yes, basically, we just need all of you to say we’re not dating anytime someone asks.”

Alix looked like Christmas had come early, “So we have full permission to mess with people?”

“As long as there’s still plausible deniability.”

“Awesome!”

-----------

“Adrien, we need to break up,” Marinette said bluntly. She had brought the umbrella he’d given her on the first day given the pouring rain. Adrien probably loved it, the weather adding the perfect touch in his eyes. He was an overdramatic dork, but he was her overdramatic dork.

“But Marinette, why?”

“It-it’s your horrible puns,” Marinette turned away to hide the grin on her face.

Adrien gasped, placing a hand on his chest, “Marinette!”

“It’s true,” she shook her head, biting the inside of her cheek. She had to hold it together. This had to be believable.

“Pouring salt in my wounds, Marinette? Why must you hurt me sodium much?”

Marinette had tears in her eyes from holding in her laughter. She only hoped it added to act. “I have to go,” she said. Before I give us away. She turned and began to run toward the metro, hoping the shaking of her shoulders looked more like sobs than the laughter it was.

----------------

Adrien and Marinette sat on a park bench, an ice cream cone between them. “Aww, you two are such a cute couple!”

“We’re not dating,” Marinette said.

“Yeah, she’s just a friend!” Adrien grinned, placing a kiss on Marinette’s cheek.

Multiple Second Chances Chapter 1: Pranks

When something goes wrong with the miraculous of the main duo, they each choose a hero to take over for them while Marinette tries to make things right. Of course, with so many former heroes now compromised, they can't let old guardian rules drain their pool of heroes even more.

A Snekmouse story.

@adrinetteapril

First Chapter | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Read on Ao3

“Hey, sugarcube!” Plagg said as he phased into the purse where Tikki was hiding.

“Plagg!” She hissed at him. “You aren’t supposed to be here! Go back to your chosen right now!”

“Yeah, yeah, in a minute,” Plagg said, irritably waving a paw at her as he peaked out. It quickly returned to clutching his prize.

“No not in a minute, right-” Tikki suddenly froze. “What are you holding?” Her voice became edged with panic. “What are you holding?”

“What, this?” Plagg hefted the black orb he held. To a human eye, it would look like nothing more than a black pearl. But to a kwami? They could see the rolling clouds of crackling dark energy in it. “Just a little gift for a too-handsy little snake.”

“Get rid of it! That can cause some serious damage in the wrong hands!”

“Relax, sugarcube,” Plagg said, rolling his eyes. “I didn’t charge it that much. Just enough for some bad luck and maybe some illnesses. Real ones, to go along with her many fake ones.” His ears twitched as he sensed a good opportunity to cross the room. The moment he tried, he was pulled back. He looked around to see Tikki grabbing at his orb.

“While I agree she isn’t good, this is too far! And you might endanger our chosen with this recklessness. Not to mention their identities!”

“Then it's a good thing I wasn’t asking for your permission!” Plagg tugged at his pearl, but Tikki refused to let go. Being the ancient being of immense cosmic strength he was, he did what came naturally - he pulled back even harder. “Gimmie my ball!”

“No!”

“Spoilsport!”

“Instigator!”

As they each drew on more of their energy, the orb - fragile enough already - began to crack. White energy, no doubt Tikki’s doing, poured out.

The orb shattered, driving them into opposite corners of the purse.

“See what you-” Plagg coughed. “See what you did?”

“Me?! You- You’re the…” Tikki trailed off as she rubbed at her forehead, whimpering. “I don’t feel great…”

Plagg couldn’t reply, all his attention focused on gripping his stomach and trying not to be sick. Outside the purse, there was a commotion and Plagg slinked away into his chosen’s bag just before the class emptied.

-------------------

Adrien wasn’t entirely sure what happened, but after what had sounded like a small explosion, the room had filled with a horrible stench that had effectively canceled their Physics lessons for the day. And since that was his last class of the day, Adrien quickly found himself back in his room.

“That was super weird.” Adrien set down his messenger bag and opened it. “Any idea what it could have been, Plagg?” His heart dropped when he found his kwami curled up into a ball, shivering. “Plagg!” He gently grabbed his kwami and held him in his palm. “What’s the matter?”

“Blegh…” Plagg opened an eye and looked at him. “I, uh, I won’t bore you with the details but you’d better transform. Ladybug will be looking for you.”

“Wh- Huh?” Adrien frowned. “Are you sure? Will you be alright?”

“Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry, pigtails has a good head on her shoulders. She’ll know what to do.” Plagg gagged, his fur standing on end. “Or at least she’ll be able to figure it out with all those musty old Guardian books around.”

“If you say so… Plagg, claws out!”

Something immediately felt off. Besides being more than a little nauseous, he didn’t feel as strong as he usually did. But there was something that he couldn’t quite define that wasn’t right about this either. It was almost like there was something heavy in his gut, like a stone. Shaking it off, he got ready to leave.

After locking his door and turning on a piano recording, Chat Noir slipped out of his bedroom window and began running over rooftops. Just like Plagg had said, it wasn’t long before Ladybug was calling him. He answered quickly.

“Hey bugaboo.” With Plagg’s health on the line, he got straight to the point. “My kwami said you might know what to do?”

Ladybug bit her lip, a sure sign of worry. “I do, but I don’t like it. We’ll talk about it in person. Meet me here.”

Her face was replaced with a map of Paris, a blinking red dot showing her location. He raised an eyebrow. It wasn’t any of their usual haunts - the top of the Eiffel Tower, the spires of Notre Dame, any number of rooftops across the city. Instead, it was a garden filled with hedges. With how early into spring they were, they weren’t likely to see many civilians around, but still. He had a bad feeling about this, but followed her dot anyway.

“M’lady,” he said with a bow as he landed beside her. “What’s the news?”

“Plagg is sick, right?” Chat blinked in surprise but nodded. “My kwami is too. This isn’t the first time she’s gotten sick but, well…” Ladybug began pacing. When she started talking it was like a dam breaking down and everything came flooding out at once. “Last time I had Master Fu, but now we don’t have Master Fu and he was supposed to teach me everything but then, you know, and now he’s gone and I have his notes but I might be able to decipher them but I don’t know if I can do it and I-”

“My lady.” Chat caught her shoulders and stopped her in her tracks. “Take a breath, please. Okay? You can do this. If there is an answer to be found, you’re the one that can do it.”

To his surprise, Ladybug wrapped him in a hug. “Thanks, chaton.”

“No problem, bugaboo. Now,” he said, “is there anything else I can do to help? I want Plagg to be better as soon as possible. Plus, I don’t know how well I can fight feeling this weak.”

“About that…” She stepped away and pulled out an egg shaped item and opened it. Chat’s eyes widened as he saw all the miraculous ever seen fight alongside him. His wonder turned to dismay when he looked up to see sorrow in her eyes. “We’re going to have to take a break, kitty. Plagg and Tikki can’t get any better unless they get some rest.”

“You… want to take my miraculous?” A pit of dread opened up in his stomach. “But-”

“I know, and I’m sorry. But I promise it’s only temporary! I’ll even let you pick your… the person who will be filling in for you.”

“Okay…” That was something, at least. “So what miraculous would I be handing out?”

“I’ve actually given that some thought,” Ladybug said as she sat down. Chat followed her lead and watched as she sat the miracle box on the ground between them. “So the main issue to us taking a break is that we have to purify akuma, right?”

“Right. That’s why Master Fu brought out the Ladybug and Black Cat miraculous in the first place, right?”

“Exactly! Now, I was doing some research and found out that the Yang-aligned zodiac miraculous can also purify corruption.”

“So…” Chat screwed his eyes shut as he struggled to remember his Chinese lessons. “Monkey, Tiger, Dog, Dragon, Horse, and… Rat?”

“Well, in our case the Mouse. Very good!” Ladybug smiled and Chat’s heart skipped a beat. “So those six miraculous could replace me. Well, mostly.”

“First, no one could ever replace you,” Chat said firmly. “But what do you mean ‘mostly’?”

“Only the Ladybug has access to the Cure. Which is why I think this one,” Ladybug pulled out the Snake miraculous, “would be the perfect choice to pair with one of the others.”

“The Snake?”

“Yes. It’d be the best way to reduce collateral damage until we can get the Cure back. If worst comes to worst, I can transform, but we have to avoid it whenever possible so Tikki can recover.”

“Smart as usual, m’lady. Who do you plan on giving it to?”

“Chat,” she chided. “You know I can’t tell you that.” She clapped. “Now, I know I usually choose all the new heroes, but given the circumstances, I’ll let you pick the other.”

Chat perked up a little and looked very carefully at the six miraculous. He had never seen the Tiger or the Dog in action and ruled them out. Monkey? Helpful, but too random. Horse? Too situational. Dragon? Maybe. But then he saw the Mouse and remembered the last wielder of that miraculous. He grinned as he picked it from the rest.

Marinette would be perfect! She was smart, just like Ladybug so she could definitely help take the lead. Not to mention Multimouse made for an excellent hero. He wasn’t super certain on how viable that powerset would be, but knowing Marinette, she’d find a way to make it work.

“The Mouse?” Ladybug said with a little confusion as he slipped the necklace into his pocket. “Not the one I was thinking you’d pick, but it’ll work just as well as the others.” She pulled the bracelet out and stashed it in her yoyo. “We’ll meet up tomorrow evening so you can give me your miraculous.”

Chat Noir smirked and raised an eyebrow. “Careful, you’re sounding like Hawkmoth.”

She rolled her eyes and gently punched his shoulder. “Go home, Chat.”

----------------

Naturally, Chat Noir did not go home. After all, his mind was already made up on who he wanted to give the Mouse miraculous to. Pulling his civilian phone out of his pocket, he sent a text to Marinette and asked about homework. Once she responded, he knew she’d be home. Hopefully alone in her room.

It took longer than he thought it would, but after a few minutes Marinette responded and Chat Noir went on the prowl. He couldn’t see much as he looked in from afar, but what he could tell was that there wasn’t anyone else in her room as she paced it frantically. In a few heartbeats, he had crossed the distance and landed on her balcony. His cat ears twitched as he heard her talking to herself.

He crouched down and knocked on her skylight and sat down while he waited.

The trapdoor opened just a crack. Blue eyes peering up at him, first curiously, then in shock.

“Chat Noir?!”

He bowed his head. “The one and only!”

“What- Why are you-”

“Can I come in?”

“I- Sure?”

Marinette opened the trapdoor completely and he slid inside, landing on the floor of her bedroom.

“So, um what can I-” Marinette was cut off when he pulled out the little box holding the miraculous. “No…”

“I, uh,” Chat Noir rubbed the back of his neck nervously. “Sorry, I know Ladybug has a whole little speech, but I’ve never heard it in person.” A lie, but he wasn’t about to admit he had been so caught up in Ladybug’s eyes that he hadn’t committed her speech to memory. “I’m sure she told you it when you got picked to be Multimouse last time, but…”

“Chat, I can’t be-”

“I know, you’re worried about the identity thing,” Chat said, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. “It really wasn’t a big deal that I found out. I’m surprised Ladybug took your miraculous over it, but I know that you’re more than up to the task. You’re smart, you’re brave, and you made a great hero!”

She looked between him and the box. While she was clearly torn, it was also very clear that she had been touched by his praise. Slowly, she took the box from his hands.

“I… accept.”

“Good. Let me fill you in on everything that’s going down. Or, at least as much as I’m allowed to tell you.”

-----------------

Several hours later, Adrien was back in his room, playing the piano for real this time. It wasn’t his usual arrangement, but rather a jaunty ragtime tune, the kind that he knew Plagg liked. His kwami was resting in his favorite trash can, the last time he’d do so for who knows how long.

The prospect of not being a superhero weighed heavily on Adrien. What if he never got to become Chat Noir again, and he was shoved back into his regimented life with no hope of escape? What if Multimouse and his replacement were too good and Ladybug decided that he didn’t need to come back?

He shook his head, pushing the thoughts away. Ladybug cared about him, she’d never just abandon him. And he had meant every word he’d said to her - he knew that if anyone could heal the kwami, it was her.

But still the lingering fears remained…

At least until he heard a knock on his window. Framed against the dying light of the setting sun was Ladybug holding onto the string of her yoyo, face pressed close to the glass as she tried to look inside. His heart began beating a million kilometers an hour as he jumped up from his seat, nearly falling flat on his face as he rushed to open the window.

“L-ladybug!” He said, poking his head out the window. “What, um, what are you doing here?”

“I’m sorry to ask you this, given how awful your previous experience with this miraculous was, but…” Ladybug pulled out a black box with red markings and presented it to him. “Adrien Agreste, here is the miraculous of the Snake, which grants the power of Second Chance. You will use it for the greater good.”

“I accept!” He eagerly took the Snake miraculous. The excitement of being a hero became tinged with fear. “...Are you sure, though?” He frowned. “I kind of made a mess of it less time…”

Ladybug smiled warmly at Adrien. “It showed that you have determination. Not many people would be able to go that long trying to make things work. It also shows you are patient.” She took his free hand and set it over the miraculous. “Plus we both know how kind and caring you are. Perfect traits for a hero.”

“And what about Luka?”

“Hawkmoth knows his identity,” Ladybug said with a shrug. “Besides, I know you have the makings of an excellent hero. Now,” she said, moving past him to sit on the edge of his bed. “Let me tell you why we need you…”

-------------

The following day came far too swiftly. After giving Plagg all the hugs the kwami would allow, Adrien had transformed to meet up with Ladybug. He must have looked like a mess since her blue eyes softened immediately when he landed, and in a moment her hand was cupping his cheek.

“I’m sorry, kitty. I know how much this all means to you, but I promise you’ll be back in the cat suit before long.”

He sniffled and put a hand over hers. “I’ll miss you.”

She got a thoughtful look in her eye and looked away. He let her hand slide off his face, where it took up position cupping her chin.

“You know… we could still keep in contact.”

“How?”

“Master Fu had a dropbox that he prepaid a couple years in advance. We could leave letters there for each other, if we’re really missing each other.”

Chat perked up. “Really?”

“Mhm,” Ladybug hummed. She reached into her yoyo. “Here, you can have the spare key. It should have the location written on it.” She closed her eyes and turned around. “Detransform, hand me your miraculous and I’ll leave a letter when I’m done.”

“Right. Claws in.” Adrien gave one last sad look to Plagg before he took off the miraculous and he vanished. He pressed the ring into Ladybug’s hand. “See you soon, m’lady.”

“We’ll be back before you know it, chaton.”

“I don’t doubt it,” Adrien said. He ran away until he was out of the gardens before slipping on the Snake miraculous. In a ball of green light, a new kwami appeared. “Hey, Sass. Miss me?”
