"You're wasting your time, you know that, right?" the blond confronts her, capturing her in his arms. "Adrien doesn't deserve you Marinette, he will never appreciate you!"
The brunette pushes him back uninterested.
"And you do?" she arches an eyebrow folding her hands to her chest.
"You know that I am right, " the blonde puts a strand of her hair aside," In the end he didn't even care about you when he hooked up with Kagami, right?"
Marinette becomes furious.
"Kagami loves him!" she defended squeezing her fists together.
Felix raises an eyebrow.
" And you do not?"
Ladybug looked down.
"If I'm not mistaken, Adrien treats Kagami with the same indifference as he treats you." He's too naive and doesn't care about either hers or your feelings, I on the other hand."
"What are you trying to insinuate ?!"
"Come with me to England, Marinette." Felix grabbed her hand." Come with me and you will shine. You know I can treat you so much better than Adrien ever did."
The story between Marinette and Felix that no one knew about. Felix is not Adrien, except for their physical appearance, they do not share any traits. He is calculated, serious, determined, and ambitious and Adrien is just a naive and emotional child.
After many encounters, clashes between him and Adrien's friends, Felix is disgusted by the cluelessness of his cousin, who cannot see the truth. Namely, all the sacrifices that the intelligent, azure-eyed brunette makes for him. Marinette is beautiful, intelligent, hard, working, and knows what she wants from life. Adrien doesn't deserve her, Felix on the other hand, can appreciate her much better.
"You are my Princess, Marinette. You know that. Don't ever forget it!"
They say that words can change lives, but for Marinette, an ordinary Parisian college student, she finds that difficult to believe.
Chat Noir, half of Paris' favourite crime fighting duo, however, knows how true this is. By day, he is also just an ordinary civilian, but when trouble arises (or just whenever tbh), he transforms into a superhero and saves the day.
But when Chat Noir begins to befriend Marinette, they become ever closer, even as Marinette begins to descend into depression. Soon enough, saving the day isn't the only thing on his mind. He needs to save her. But will this put Chat's secret identity at risk? Will he ever be free again?
{AU where Mari isn't Ladybug. Ruins the entire fandom, I know, but whatever. Deals with some sensitive issues, including depression and anxiety. Please don't comment saying I shouldn't write characters like that if I don't suffer, because I do. Most chapters are okay, and you will be warned if they are more triggering.}
