I’ve had this scenario in my head for like over a year and only just now am making it a comic. hm
a proposal :)
History Repeats
Today’s drabble is dedicated to @arolla-pine to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY month! I hope your June is full of the best things!
This is a universe I’m playing with a bit in my head. There’s another drabble from it that will be in an Alya zine coming soon so I’m excited about that. :)

“Do you have any idea what this is about?” Alya murmured, trying to keep her voice low as they sat across from the large desk and chair.
“When I asked Jude, all he said was the the whole thing was being blown out of proportion,” Nino answered, talking out the side of his mouth.
“Never a good sign for a parent-teacher conference.”
“Nope.”
The door behind them creaked open and they turned in their chairs to see Principle Damocles shuffle into the office with the help of a cane. “Well, I must be getting old to have you two here as parents,” he laughed in a self-deprecating way. He rounded the desk and sighed contentedly when he sat down. “I don’t think I’m cut out for this much longer.”
Alya gave him a warm smile. “You have been at it a while, sir.”
He waved a hand. “I just don’t have anything else to do. Can’t exactly fit into my owl suit anymore. This keeps me active, at least.”
“I know the feeling,” Nino muttered and rubbed his palm along the pooch at his middle.
Alya cut him a look and then sat on the edge of her seat. “So there was some trouble with Jude?”
Damocles’ bushy brows knitted together. “Well, I wouldn’t say trouble exactly. It seems Jude has been missing a few classes here and there, however, his teachers assure me he always gets his work turned in and his grades are usually in the higher percentile.”
“He’s missing classes? It must be more than a few for you to call us in here.”
Business magnate Marinette Dupain-Cheng and her devoted assistant Adrien Agreste.
Marinette spilling coffee on herself before the Big Meeting. Adrien grinning and handing her a spare set of clothes and an extra coffee he keeps for her “just in case”.
Adrien being Plesantly Hostile with the shareholder who made Marinette cry in her office after a board meeting even though she Nailed It.
Marinette making him a silly tie for Secretary’s Day.
Marinette falling asleep at her desk and Adrien gently waking her and driving her home despite her protests.
BUSINESS MAGNATE MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG AND HER DOVOTED ASSISTANT ADRIEN AGRESTE.
Some Fool: Your assistant is very… attractive. I guess this company prefers aesthetics to talent.
Marinette, about to throw hands: How unfortunate then that you have neither.
Marinette, a struggling newly minted designer with a will to survive and nothing but Talent and Determination behind her. Her newly hired dork of an assistant who was a little unorthodox but didn’t make snide comments behind her back like some of the other candidates had.
Adrien, out from under his father’s wing for the first time, cut off with no support and a resume no one sane would touch, so so so grateful to be given a Chance and prove his father wrong.
BABY BUSINESS MAGNATE MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG AND HER BABY DEVOTED ASSISTANT ADRIEN AGRESTE
just gonna set this here ;D
Guys help I love both ships
don’t be scared
“I love you.”
Ladybug froze. “What did you say?”
“You heard me.”
“You… you can’t say things like that,” she said, but it sounded weak even to her own ears. She was weak.
“Why not? It’s true.”
“Chat…”
“Look.” He stepped around in front of her. When she wouldn’t look up at him, a clawed finger slipped beneath her chin and gently tilted her head back until their eyes met.
“Adrien…” she whispered, finally acknowledging the truth that had hung between them for the better part of two weeks now.
The miraculous cure had fixed all the damage Oblivio had done, but it hadn’t taken away their memories.
He closed his eyes like the sound of his name hurt, then opened them again to stare at her. “Marinette.”
It did hurt. Ladybug’s chin trembled. “We can’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because Hawkmoth -”
“Screw Hawkmoth!” Chat shouted, so loud that they both froze.
She found herself holding her breath.
“I love you,” Chat said, choked. “All of you. And I don’t care about him.”
“I care. I care that he could hurt you to get at me. That he will hurt you,” she said. “Every time you get hurt, it kills me.”
Chat was shaking his head. “No.”
“Yes. You know it’s true. We can’t be together, Chat. It’s too dangerous.”
He was quiet for a moment before stepping back. Ladybug was cold the instant his hand left her body, and she wrapped her arms around herself.
“Don’t you see?” he said quietly, at last. “We’re partners, My Lady. All of Paris knows I love you. They all know you care about me.”
She went to speak, went to correct him, but a finger laid gently over her lips silenced her.
“He already knows you’re my weakness, as I am yours,” Chat whispered to her. “I would tear this city apart to get you back. That’s been the case since the day we met. Hawkmoth knows that; he’s no fool. All we’re doing is denying ourselves a bit of happiness in the midst of all this fighting. And if you want that -”
He stopped, tears in his eyes, and drew a shuddering breath. “Then fine. I’ll understand. But don’t ask me to pretend I don’t love you, because I can’t do that.”
She stared at him, speechless. Chat took another step back, and then another, until he turned and ran towards the edge. He flung himself off heedlessly, disappearing over the edge only to fly back up seconds later, propelled by his baton.
She stood there for several minutes after he was gone, just thinking. And at last, she came to the undeniable conclusion.
“He’s right,” Ladybug said out loud, realizing the truth of it even as she spoke. What was done was done. They couldn’t change it now.
Did she really think that Hawkmoth didn’t already know how much they meant to each other? Did she really think that if they pretended they didn’t love each other, they would magically be less of a weakness for each other? Did she really think that he couldn’t use them against each other now? Hell, he already had!
She scrubbed her hands over her face to remove the tears and turned to go home. She had some thinking to do.
The next morning, Marinette got up early. She dressed, went down to the bakery, and nicked some pastries. Her maman looked at her knowingly as she left, and Marinette blushed. She was nervous, but not afraid. After thinking about it all night, and talking at length with Tikki, she’d made her choice.
Adrien was already in class when she arrived - even when she was early, she was late. Marinette walked right over to his desk and laid the box down. He looked at it, eyebrows furrowing, and then up at her.
“You were wrong,” Marinette said. “I don’t just care about you. I love you. All of you.”
His jaw dropped. Someone in the class, probably Alya, made a high-pitched squeaking sound. Marinette didn’t care. She had eyes only got her kitty.
“But you were also right,” she went on. “I was scared. I’m not anymore. Like you said, we can take on anything together.”
“Marinette.” Adrien’s eyes actually looked a little wet. He surged up and came around the desk, scooping her up into a hug so strong her feet left the floor.
“I love you,” Marinette said, hugging him back, smiling so hard her face ached, and he laughed.
“I love you too,” he said, pulling back to beam at her, and this time the high-pitched shriek was probably Lila.
Marinette didn’t care. She was too busy pulling her partner in for a kiss.

Just another something something I whipped up out of Spite for that sneak peak. Just trying to get all that salt out of my bloodstream.
Overcome from her friend’s abandonment, Marinette becomes Little Devil, an akuma who’s tiny minions tell you every bad thing you or anyone has ever thought about you until you’re so overcome with grief you become an aggressive demon.

Today on a break at work I saw this post here by @miracu-less and it was all I could think of all day, through work, driving home, and eating dinner and hanging with family. First chance I got to break away and I started this adorable abomination. I just love how Chat came out… in EVERY panel.
