WARNING: This fanfic will turn from the happiest moments to pure Angst. Major Character death and a bad ending is coming towards you. I just wanted to warn you. Have fun reading (Hope you cry. Sorry not sorry)
If he only knew… That's probably what everyone would have said in that situation. It would be a "hairy" situation like Chat would have joked, but he didn't. He was frozen and couldn't move. His whole wold crashed together and he saw all the happiness he could have had fade away. Everything being taken away from him. The blue bell eyes, the soft pink lips of hers, her freckles and her sweet smelling hair. This was too far the worst thing what could happen to him, but little did he know that it was actually worse than he could even think of.
Six days ago…
Adrien ate dinner with his wife Marinette Agreste at the Mansion. Gabriel Agreste sat with them and peacefully discussed about the coming ball, which he organised. The friends and business partners of Gabriel will all attend and be introduced to his new daughter-in-law, who is also going to be the future CEO of his company. Marinette at first didn't want to accept his offer to take over his company one day, but Gabriel didn't want to give it to anyone and mostly not to someone not worthy. Adrien wasn't up for fashion and wanted to be a physics professor at a university in Paris, so that's why Marinette would be the perfect choice.
The businessman has been noticing the talent of the young girl. Over many years he observed her and was never disappointed about her work. Every time he saw her becoming better and better. Gabriel really liked Marinette. She was the perfect person for this family. She made his son smile, even himself. He would never accept it if Adrien suddenly stops loving her and wanted a divorce. He likes her so much that he couldn't even think about it anymore, her not having in the family.
After dinner Marinette needed to speak with Gabriel alone. She looked serious, but in the same time happy. Adrien's father nodded and lead her to his office. Marinette's first time being in this room was scary for her. She didn't know if Gabriel would accept the relationship of her with his only son, but now Marinette could have talked with the cold businessman with ease.
"What do you want to talk about Marinette?", Gabriel began the conversation.
"There is something else we need to announce at the ball next week. It's really important and I haven't told anyone yet besides my parents.", Marinette explained.
"Has this something to do with Adrien?", he curiously asked.
"Yes, kind of…", she admitted.
"What did he do? Tell me and I'll talk with my son.", He replied with a slightly angry voice.
Marinette waved her arms in front of her and calmed him down "Don't worry, it's nothing bad. I can't tell you right now." Then she whispered. "I have a feeling that my curious husband is trying to eavesdrop on us, but it should be a surprise and the perfect moment to tell him is on that party!"
She took a pencil and a sticky note from his work table and wrote the exciting news on it. Marinette giggled before giving it to Gabriel with a big smile. He looked at the note he just received and a small gasp exited his mouth. He was speechless and Mari could see it.
She whispered again "Keep it a secret till the night of the party. The son of yours will be happy to hear it." Marinette smiled and quietly walked towards the door.
Gabriel came an idea. He finally spoke as a grin shone through his lips. "I have a surprise too. But till the party, no one will know. Not even you. You and Adrien will be surprised."
"I can't wait!", she responded.
As she opened the door, a blonde boy fell to the ground and sheepishly looked up at his wife.
"Oh hey Mari.", he greeted her and abruptly stood up. "What I'm doing here you maybe ask? Uhm.. I just passed by and tripped over… my own feet.", Adrien rubbed at his neck and tried to smile to her.
Marinette shook her head and snickered "Yeah, I believe you little Kitten." She turned around to Gabriel and laughed "I told you he was eavesdropping."
"No, I was not." Her husband pouted, but then gave up "Okay, okay. Maybe I listened a bit of your conversation. By the way, what were you two even talking about, that I'm not allowed to be in the same room?"
She tapped his nose and smirked "It's a secret, only fashion designers should know for now."
Adrien first wanted to ask her till she finally gives in, but this time he let it be and only nodded.
"Father, I'll go home with Mari now, see you."
"See you soon Adrien and Marinette. You can visit whenever you want."
Adrien was happy. After Marinette entered his life, it went upwards. Mari always made him the happiest man on earth and his father learned how to speak with him like a father would. He thought that it'll continue to go up, but life wasn't nice. There needs to be a down too and he'll see it soon.
Six days later two hours before everything ended…
Hawkmoth managed to catch Chat Noir with his recent akuma and brought him to a prepared warehouse. He tied Chat Noir up and sent his akuma to Ladybug.
"Tell Ladybug that she'll only see her partner again if she comes and gives up her miraculous!"
It didn't take long and Ladybug came to rescue Chat Noir.
"My Lady, NO! This is all a trap. Save yourself and leave. NOW!", the feline superhero begged, but his partner couldn't leave him there like that.
"I'll never leave you."
Ladybug ran to him and tried to untie him. Chat couldn't use his cataclysm, because his hands were tied too tight. Ladybug was already trying her best, but suddenly the akumatised person shot bombs to their direction and Ladybug quickly picked chat up and rolled aside.
The akuma had focused on Ladybug and Hawkmoth only stood there while he watched and laughed.
"Soon I'll get your Miraculouses and bring my dear love back. That's the only way how I can repay my son, for his lonely time as a teenager without a real father.", he laughed.
Ladybug ran and tried to dodge every bomb the akuma was throwing at her. He stopped throwing bombs, instead he began to attack her with sharp knives.
"I'll never get her like that, but there is another hero in this room.", the akuma explained and aimed for the still tied up Cat hero.
Ladybug saw through his plans and threw herself in front of the love of her life just in time. She closed her eyes and remembered something. If she dies, she won't die alone. Too late.
The flying metal reached her back and bored deep into her skin and flesh. A loud scream of pain was heard. Green eyes wide. The couple shocked and Hawkmoth already celebrating his winning.
As the realisation hits the cat, hot tears began to build in him and his body stiffed by seeing his beautiful wife falling to her knees. Her jaw slightly open. She coughed. She couldn't breathe. Some liquid left her mouth and her hand caught it all. It was blood.
"Now I'll finally get your Miraculouses and use Ladybugs body to hold the soul of my past wife. My plan worked out and I'll live with my family happy again and soon with my first grandchild."
How much he was wrong.
Chat didn't listen to him, or that's what he thought. His world was breaking. He was dreaming wasn't he? That is what he hoped so. Ladybug rested her hands on the floor and slowly crawled to Chat.
When she was only 30 centimetres away from him, the muscles in her arms betrayed her and she fell with her face first against the floor. The heroes were both lying on the floor, face to face now.
Both of them had tears in their eyes.
"I'm sorry Chat. I-I didn't want to leave you. Please don't forget th-that I love you so much."
Chat couldn't handle this. How can someone's life turn from happy and full of warmth to something so cold and icy. He began to sob. They only got married 3 months ago. He dreamed and already planned a joyful life with his wife. With their parents, their friend and their future children. It pained that everything needed to end here. This all can't be happening.
Ladybug cupped one of his cheek and forced a smile on her face. He clearly saw how much she tried to keep that smile on her face and smiled back. Her hand was shaking and her breathes became short and irregular.
Chat tried to struggled against his ties, but still no success. He let out a groan and tried to come nearer to his lady. "I love you too bugaboo."
"I know.", she replied her eyes narrowing. "I'll miss the times being with you, our friends and our parents. I'm glad I met you."
"My Lady please, don't say all these things. You're not going to die, okay?"
Chat Noir ignored the big blood puddle growing larger around her body.
"C-Chat, I don't know. Please promise me not to let Hawkmoth kill you a-and stay strong.", she asked.
"No, no, no, no… Please don't leave me… please…"
Silence filled the room. Ladybug blinked and tried to come closer. He did the same and their nose were already touching. "Ladybug, I can't live without you.. I love you Ladybug."
She smiled and asked "C-can you s-say that a-again? B-but with my r-eal na…me… p-please"
Chat's eyes didn't stop to produce hot tears. They flowed sideways down his cheeks, because he was still stuck on the floor tied up. His mouth made a small line before he could press the words out "I love you Marinette."
He leans in and kissed her, while her hand still rested on his cheek.
"I-I love y-you too Adrien…"
Her last words, before her breathing stopped and her body became limp. A bright pink light shone around her. Her transformation has dropped.
"MARINETTE?!"
A/N: The person who calls her in the last line is Hawkmoth AKA Gabriel Agreste. I wrote this story in one go and I made some cruel things here. To clear some of you up, the surprise Marinette wanted to do, was to tell Adrien, on the day the world will officially acknowledge her as his wife, that she is pregnant. While Gabriel's surprise should have been Adrien's mother herself. He planned everything and with success. But he obviously didn't suspect Ladybug and Chat Noir turning out to be his son and daughter-in-law.
(*For the revive of Adrien's mother, Hawkmoth needed a body to put her soul into it. That's why he didn't trap Ladybug like he did to Chat.)
Hope you liked it, even with the bad ending. Please forgive me for writing this Oneshot.
I'll appreciate it if you leave a kind review. Thank you for reading my story.
