PLEASE READ THIS:
Another multi-cahptered fic from me. Yay! This story is a mix of a couple different ideas that I've have bouncing around in my head for a while. Firstly, the idea of Chat Noir and Adrien's personalities being reversed in a way. So in this one, Adrien is the flirty goof ball (and also bad boy), while Chat Noir is the sweet gentleman. Also, the love square is also reversed. Marinette/Ladybug love Chat Noir, and Adrien/Chat Noir love Marinette. Another part of this story came from the idea of a punk Adrien. My inspiration came from these photos by s-t-a-r-c-o here: down-into-underland/tagged/punk%20adrien

Please look at the pictures linked to above to understand what Adrien looks like in this fic. Enjoy!

Marinette's alarm clock began its screaming fit as it ordered her to wake up and get ready for school. She smacked at the alarm until it was finally silent and rolled out of bed. Before getting dressed and doing her hair, Marinette sat at her desk and turned on her computer. She rested her chin on her hands and sighed dreamily at the collage of pictures set as her desktop background. Her computer was covered with her crush's gorgeous face.

"Ah, good morning, Chat Noir~" She made a kissy face at the pictures of Paris' masked hero before being interrupted by her mother shouting up at her to get ready. With a sigh, Marinette stood from her desk and began to get ready.

Marinette ran down the stairs, grabbing breakfast from her mom as she passed her.

"Busy staring dreamingly at your celebrity crush?" Sabine jokingly asked to tease her daughter.

"Mom! Don't say that! What if a customer hears?" Marinette looked around nervously, only to find the shop completely empty.

"What customers, dear?" Sabine smiled teasingly at her daughter and Marinette rolled her eyes.

"See you later, Mom!" Marinette called running out the door.

"Don't be out too late chasing around Chat Noir, honey!" Sabine called to her daughter's retreating back with a playful smile on her lips.

Marinette caught up with Alya in front of their school and were sitting together chatting on the steps. It was still early on enough that they could relax together before class out in the cool morning air. Marinette found it very peaceful and was smiling before she saw Alya roll her eyes.

"Hey, watch out. Mr. Suave is heading right towards us." Alya's face was unamused and Marinette groaned in frustration. She turned around slightly to see two boys walking towards them. One was a nice boy named Nino, that Marinette liked to consider a friend, and the other, well he was different.

The other boy was Adrien Agreste, resident punk kid at their school. Marinette was fairly certain the boy had naturally blonde hair, but his hair was constantly dyed an odd color. Today it was a dark red-ish color with a slight purple tint. Honestly, Marinette liked the color, after all, Chat Noir had the same hair color. But it seemed that Adrien was just copying the famous hero so he would look cooler. He had black cat earrings in each ear. Along with the piercings, he also had many different tattoos. On the inside, upper portion of his right arm was a black cat silhouette and a black outlined cat at the base of his neck/chest with a small ladybug in the curve of the cat's tail. There were also two tattoos one his hands; some weird butterfly looking shape on his right palm and a small bell on his left palm right underneath his thumb. Anyone could see that the boy was a huge fan of Chat Noir and Ladybug's work of saving Paris, and he wasn't afraid to show it.

Apparently Adrien used to be a model as a child, but when he got older he changed his appearance so now he doesn't do as much modeling. Alya believed he changed his appearance exactly so that he wouldn't have to model for his fashion designer father anymore.

Now, Marinette had nothing against Adrien's sense of style or anything, it just wasn't really something she favored. However, his behavior and attitude were not something Marinette appreciated. Adrien was a major flirt and completely full of himself. He's way too over confident and he's constantly flaunting his good looks. Not only that, he had become completely smitten with sweet Marinette. Marinette wasn't sure what she had done to gain Adrien's affections, but she had them and they weren't going anywhere. No matter how hard she tried to push him away. She had tried to turn him down nicely. Because she was friends with Nino, who was his best friends. That didn't work so she started being blunter, but that only seemed to make things worse. Whenever she turns him down flat, he always comes back just as strong. It's like he sees it as a game.

Adrien caught Marinette's eye when she turned to look in his direction. A smirk found its way onto Adrien's face as he began to saunter over to Marinette on the steps. He leaned "coolly" against the wall next to where Marinette was sitting and put on his flirtatious attitude.

"Good morning, Princess~ you're looking absolutely radiant this morning." Adrien smiled a charming smile and Marinette rolled her eyes. Marinette followed Alya as she stood up and turned to face the boy smiling next to her.

"Thank you. But don't call me 'Princess', please." Marinette crossed her arms stubbornly across her chest.

"But that's exactly what you are. A gorgeous and regal princess~" Adrien grabbed Marinette's hand and placed a kiss on her knuckles; smirking and looking up into Marinette's eyes. Marinette rolled her eyes once again and pulled her hand swiftly away.

"Knock it off, you delinquent. Come on Alya, we should get inside." Marinette quickly escaped into the school pulling Alya with her. From behind her, Marinette heard Adrien laugh deeply as Nino reprimanded him for annoying her. Again.

"Can you believe that boy? You'd think he'd get the hint already!" Marinette said angrily as she sat down in her seat.

"Maybe you should be flattered, after all, there are plenty of girls who would love to be in your shoes right now." As Alya spoke she looked over to where Chloe was glaring at Marinette from the row in front of them. She had no doubt witnessed Adrien's shameless flirting outside and was now trying to kill Marinette with her glare.

"Honestly, Chloe can have him. She knows I have no interest in Adrien; I don't get why she gets so angry at me! I'm not the one flirting with him."

"She's probably only angry because she knows he also has no interest in her. Adrien has made it very clear to pretty much anyone that will listen that you're the only girl for him." Alya was smiling as she watched Adrien walk in and wink at Marinette as he sat down.

"Ugh, I know. It's so obnoxious." Marinette whispered to her friend and Alya only giggled in response. Before Marinette could say another word there was a scream and a loud explosion of water from outside the school. Marinette's head snapped to the side to look out the window as a man in black and blue flew past the window.

"Everyone! Run!" It was their classmate Kim ho had screamed this as another explosion of water exploded next to their classroom. As everyone ran out of the room Marinette ran off to find a secluded place to hide.

"I have to find somewhere to transform!" Marinette whispered to the kwami now poking her head out of her purse.

"Try behind the school! No one will be running that way!" Tikki offered and with a nod Marinette ran off away from the crowd exiting the building. As she ran she noticed lots of small water bubbles with fish in them floating through the air.

Is this akuma turning people into fish? Marinette thought to herself as she finally reached a secluded corner behind the school. But just as she was about to transform a shadow appeared from behind her. She spun around shocked to see the ocean themed akuma floating behind her with a trident in is hand.

"Trying to hide from The Ocean King, are we? Nice try girly, but no one can hide from my water bombs!" Marinette let out a silent scream as The Ocean King hurled a ball of water in her direction. She looked for somewhere to run but she was cornered. She covered her face from the water about to hit her, but was shocked when a splash came, but no water. She opened her eyes to see none other than Chat Noir standing in front of her, no doubt having just protected her from a fishy fate. Marinette felt her heart flutter.

"Quick! Run away! I'll keep him occupied here." Chat Noir ordered as he jumped at The Ocean King and Marinette couldn't find the courage to reply to her crush so she did as he said and ran. Finding a new hiding place, she finally was able to transform to go help her dear partner.

"Tikki! Spots on!" With a flash she was no longer Marinette, but Ladybug. She ran off to save her partner.

Ladybug found Chat Noir in a heated battle of staff versus trident with The Ocean King. She watched as Chat Noir slipped on a wet part of the ground and as The Ocean King was about the bring down his trident, Ladybug threw out her yoyo and caught the trident mid-swing. While The Ocean King was momentarily shocked, Chat Noir jumped back to his feet and vaulted over The Ocean King to stand beside Ladybug.

"Thanks for the save, Ladybug. You have impeccable timing as always." Chat Noir flashes a soft smile to Ladybug and she felt her cheeks heat up.

"Oh, no problem at all. That's what partners are for right?"

"Of course, and I'm very lucky to have someone like you as a crime fighting partner. Now, let's handle this akuma quickly before all of Paris turns into an aquarium!" Chat Noir and Ladybug jumped into battle; Ladybug had a smile on her face the entire time. One of the reasons she loved her partner dearly, he was always such a perfect gentleman. He cared for her and everyone else. He was like a perfect prince in shining armor! How could she not fall in love with him after they've saved each other so many times?

Ladybug in the end of course used Lucky Charm and ended up with some seemingly useless item that managed to save the day. She freed the akuma from The Ocean King's trident and the purified it before releasing it into the wind.

"Wonderful work, My Lady, as always. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back before my miraculous runs out." With a blush Ladybug grabbed onto Chat Noir's wrist before he left.

"I mean, you could always stay. You know I would never tell a soul your identity, and I'd trust you with mine." Chat Noir sighed at this and turned to face Ladybug.

"You know it's just too dangerous for us to do that. I'm sorry Ladybug, but I really need to go now." Ladybug watched with loving eyes as Chat Noir leaped off, back to wherever he needed to be. With a sigh Ladybug too swung back to school where she transformed back into Marinette and rejoined her class.

Adrien had released his Chat Noir transformation in the boys' bathroom at school. He waited a minute in there though as he heard people passing the door on their way back to their classes.

"You know, there's no rule that says you can't tell her who you really are." Adrien looked to his shoulder where his kwami, Plagg, was now sitting munching on some cheese.

"I know that, but it really is too dangerous. Besides, we both know how she feels about me and I don't feel the same. She's my best friend, but I love Marinette."

"I know, I know. I just don't want you moping later tonight about making your friend said like you always do."

"I don't always mope! Only sometimes! You know I hate making people sad."

"Then why keep up the 'bad boy' act? You've broken plenty of girls hearts with it." Adrien hung his head a little and glared at Plagg.

"I can't help that I don't know how to let people down gentle. What do you want me to do? Act like Chat Noir the entire time? That would be way too tiring. I only act like that as Chat because I can, you know I prefer things to be quick and to the point."

"Yeah, I know. That's why I like you; never beat around the bush and keep it honest!" Adrien rolled his eyes and shoved the small black cat back in his bag as he left the bathroom and walked back to his classroom. He was anxious to make sure Marinette made it out ok after he had rescued her. He was relieved when he walked in and Marinette was sitting there safely next to Alya who was talking to Nino about getting turned into a fish. As Adrien sat down, Alya turned to Marinette to speak.

"So, what fish did you get turned into, Marinette?" Before Marinette could reply Adrien turned to lean against the desk behind him where Marinette sat.

"I bet you turned into an angel fish. After all, what else would fit an angel like you~" Adrien smiled brightly at the small eye roll Marinette gave him.

She's so cute, I can't stand it.

"More like a puffer fish…" Adrien spun around to glare at Chloe who had just muttered the insult under her breath.

"I'll have you know, I managed to get away without being turned into a fish. Thanks to Chat Noir~" Adrien was slightly shocked, she seemed to have a dreamy expression when she talked of Adrien's alter ego. Maybe she was a fan of his? It would make sense, Alya was obsessed with Ladybug so maybe Marinette was a fan of Chat Noir?

"A fan of Paris' cat themed hero, Mari?" Adrien asked with slightly tilted head.

"Maybe. Why? Jealous much?" Marinette teased back as the teacher came back into the room.

Oh you have no idea, Princess.
