I thought of this recently while I was writing my other MLB story and thought why not make a humorous story where Adrien actually hears Marinette's call message.

Chapter 1. Deleted

"Plagg!" Adrien couldn't believe his Kwami as he stared at him with his mouth hanging open. He felt something inside him internally screaming no.

Plagg knowing he was screwed, but being Plagg gave a simple "Whoops."

Ignoring Plagg, Adrien snatched his phone trying to find an 'undo' button. Anything to recover that image. "No, no- Plagg!" Adrien stared dumbfounded at his phone, losing hope.

It was gone. The picture didn't even last a whole day before it was gone.

Plagg sighed. "Relax Adrien, so the picture got deleted, you can just ask Ladybug to take another picture with you. I don't see the problem," the kwami said flying slightly above Adrien's head. "If you ask me the real important thing here is that I'm starving and I don't see any camembert anywhere." The kwami swerved through Adrien's room looking-or rather sniffing around for a piece of camembert.

Adrien groaned, burying his head into his bed.

Get another picture? As if Plagg didn't know how much he struggled just for Ladybug to agree to take the picture with him. He's been trying to get a picture with Ladybug for months now. He can still recall all his fail attempts.

"M'lady I have a favor to ask-"

"Hold your tongue kitty, we got another situation to deal with right now," and with a swing of her yoyo she was gone.

….

"So remember that one time-"He tried again the next week.

"No now Chat!" Ladybug replied hastily. "The akuma must be in the wristwatch! Come on!"

…

"Pound it."

"So Bugaboo now that we are out of immediate danger I'm FEEline like it's the perfect time to ask you if you would do me a favor of taking a picture with me," He tried again a month later right as his ring beep and lost another paw.

"Better save it for later," Ladybug smiled coyly. "You're about to change Chat Noir. See ya Chat."

…

"Ladybug how about that picture-" He tried again suggestively as Ladybug was tied in her yoyo. Hanging upside down.

"Now?" Ladybug frowned back at him.

"Why not? I want proof that you're falling for me for the future," Chat Noir grinned looking up at her, spinning his steel staff around. "So what do you say?"

"I say-," she released her yoyo so that the string coiled back in place, in the process hitting Chat Noir in the head. "Lucky Charms!" She called out the conversation dropped.

….

"Just one picture won't hurt."

"Not now Chat!"

…..

"Just say cheese," he tried taking a surprise picture with his phone.

"Got to go Chat!" Ladybug apologized before her great escape

…..

"Meow- I look pretty good today don't you think Bugaboo?"

"Ugh," Ladybug facepalmed.

"Good enough to take a picture at. Last longer right?"

And that's exactly when it started to rain.

"Ah Kitty, didn't you know black cats have bad luck," She grinned before leaving.

…..

"How about today,"

"No sorry-"Ladybug apologized. "Later."

….

"So…." But when he turned she was gone.

…

Again and again he couldn't get his picture until finally today he did.

"Guess there's no real threat," Ladybug mentioned when they scouted the area and found it was just a false alarm.

"It's not a complete waste of time M'lady," he said. "It's a lovely night. I believe you owe me a favor."

"You're still on about that!" Ladybug groaned. "Why do you even want a picture of us Chat?"

"What can't I have a picture of our purrfect chemistry?"

"Oh no, are we starting with the Cat puns now kitty."

He grinned. "Princess you wound me- you know my puns are clawver and hissterical."

"Oh God, please stop."

"I might pawsibly stop if you agree and take a picture with this lonely cat," He trailed off.

"Ah fine! Anything to stop the puns!"

"Really!" He was suddenly caught by surprised, he practically expected Ladybug to find a way to avoid it again. "Awesome!" He grinned widely, pulling out his phone he had been bringing separately and hiding ever since he thought of taking a picture with Ladybug. Today was his lucky day. He got the camera ready.

"All right," Ladybug said walking next to him. He was the first to put his arms around her shoulder, but he smiled wider when Ladybug did the same to him.

Today really was his lucky day. Their faces came together to fit the camera of his phone and he squeezed her shoulder tighter. Both were smiling into the camera. In three seconds he snapped a picture of them.

"There," He grinned happily saving the picture. He will never delete it.

"Catch you later Chat Noir," Ladybug stepped back waving.

"CATch you later M'lady," He grinned as he heard Ladybug groaned as she swung away.

He happily went back to his home.

"Claws out Plagg!" Adrien had just uttered when Plagg said. "What's with that cheesy smile! Let me see the picture!"

Happily content, Adrien placed his phone on the bed. "Ah we are meant to be she just hasn't realized it yet Plagg"

Plagg had moved on top of the phone accidentally his tiny foot landing on the delete option only too late for Adrien to stop it.

"Plagg!"

And here he was now, feeling absolutely hopeless. It would take him forever to get Ladybug to agree to take another photo with him. Adrien groaned again.

"I see I'm not getting my camembert then," Plagg muttered before landing right next to Adrien. "If you ask me it's simple just take it to a phone shop. Don't they store all your information in the sky or something like that," Plagg suggested.

"It's called the cloud Plagg," Adrien sighed into his bed before the idea dawned to him. The cloud! Of course, he can recover his picture there. Maybe if he could hack into his memory system he could get the picture back. He just needed someone who knew about technology. He stood up suddenly thinking it through.

"Max! That's it!" Finally, relieved wash over Adrien. He knew Max could figure out a way to recover his deleted pictures and he was a friend he would keep the contents in it secret. "I'll ask him tomorrow."

"Now that that is settled can I have some camembert now! My stomach is eating itself!" Plagg groaned dramatically.

"Now I understand why you're the kwami of destruction Plagg," he muttered before opening his jacket so Plagg could hide in it. "You destroy everything you touch."

"It's a talent," Plagg shrugged going in as Adrien left to the kitchen to find some camembert.

The next day Adrien approached Max minutes before class. He explained how he accidentally deleted a picture he photoshop of Chat Noir and Ladybug yesterday and was trying to get it back for a newspaper he was submitting it to. It was a faulty lie but Max seemed to buy it as he agreed that he could recover any deleted pictures he took ever in his phone easily. Adrien just had to wait until later for him to return the phone.

"Thanks man! I owe you," Adrien tried not to show how relieve and happy he was now that he was going to have the picture back.

"No problem, I too would do anything to retrieve a picture of Chat Noir and Ladybug-even if its photoshop. I'll hand you your phone back by the end of the day. You'll recover everything you lost."

As the day progressed Adrien tried being patient. But he was anxious to get the picture back. Sure he might be slightly over reacting. But he worked hard to get a picture of his lady and him together.

So finally when the end of the day came and Max was waiting for him he couldn't hold back his content.

"You did it?" He said already unlocking his phone.

Max nodded, pushing his glasses up. "Yes. Now in order to get your picture back I had to expose all your internal storage," Max explained. "Meaning everything you deleted in your phone is back in your SD card, I set up a folder for all deleted items. You can just redelete them but you'll have to go through them yourself."

"Oh man I can't even tell you how thankful I am Max, really thanks."

"Sure thing."

As soon as Max left, Adrien looked at the deleted folder in his storage. As soon as he clicked it 598 deleted items showed up. Adrien groaned realizing he would need to go through each file to find the photo since they were all named in codes like IMG34759.

"Ooh that's a lot of files," Plagg commented the obvious now on his master's shoulder.

Adrien narrowed his eyes. Somewhere in his phone there's a photo of his princess and it doesn't matter how many files he will go through, he will find it. "Better get started then," Adrien said positively clicking on the first file that took him to an image of a picture he deleted a long time ago because he didn't like how he came out in the camera.

"Sure, but can we eat first," Plagg murmured his ears inclining down as he stared at his master's phone redeleting pictures, music, notes, and other files.

Even to the late hours of night Adrien continued redeleting files into his phone.

He yawned as he only had 200 files left. Almost.

"Ugh this is taking forever I can't get any sleep!" Plagg complained now flying above Adrien's head towards the phone. "Let me pick the file! Here this one!" He clicked on the file.

"Plagg don't-" Adrien got interrupted when the file started playing automatically.

"It's gone to voicemail...-," he hears a familiar voice saying. "Hello-uh-''A nervous short laugh escaped at the other end. "Adrien's voicemail uhh this is Marinette-" Marinette? Adrien frowned as the message continued. "-who uhh has a message for you, of course, cuz it is your phone so umm ah….-" She laughs abruptly before rapidly spluttering out "Callmeseeyoulaterbye!"

Adrien looked over at Plagg confused. When had Marinette called him? He couldn't even remember. But the voicemail wasn't over.

"What? What did you expect me to say," Marinette voice sounded a little more distant now as if she was farther away from the phone and talking to someone else. "Hey hot stuff this is Marinette I'd ask you to a date to a movie but I have such a crazy crush on you that the only way I can talk to you without foaming at the mouth is over this stupid phone. Pretty ridiculous, right?"

Please Review~~~ I don't know when I'll update since I'm also working on another MLB fanfiction and other stuff. But I'm usually more motivated to continue if people are reading it.
