Adrien's POV

After I saw Marinette be controlled, I was hit on the head.

Black.

Black was all I saw. Once I woke up I was locked up somewhere that kind of resembled a cell.

Who would build a cell in an inn?

I was pondering on that thought; I heard a soft pitter patter coming towards me.

Steps.

Footsteps actually.

"I see you've woken up." I looked up to see who it was.

Ling.

I spat,"I see that you grew tired of controlling people, Ling."

He gave this growl,"It's not Ling anymore, Chat noir." I flinched.

He already knew about my alter ego, and I couldn't change that.

"And have you forgotten that I have Mari?"

It was my turn to growl,"You only have her physically, but emotionally she's mine. SO BACK OFF!"

Laughing maniacally as he scoffed. Crouching down and using the bars for support he started talking,"Yes that is true, but you'll never see her again. She's mine now." His eyes locked with mine; he was wearing a evil smirk,"You want to know what I feel when I kissed her a little while back?"

I didn't answer. My eyes were just wide with shock.

"She tasted sweet, like candy. She was also so eager to do anything for me. I now know why you love to kiss her."

I closed my eyes. Mari... My princess...

Please, snap out of it.

"Her lips are intoxicating aren't they?"

Tears were forming in my eyes.

Mari...

I repeated her name in my head over and over. Hoping that she would come back.

He stood up finally finished,"Well Adrien, it was a pleasure talking to you."

As he was about to go he threw me something. A purse.

Marinette's purse.

"There you go Agreste. Something from Marinette. You can have it. She won't be needing that anyway."

And with that he left.

I clutched the purse close to my chest. I hoped Mari was okay. What was I saying of course she isn't. I wish I could do something to help her. I'll do anything to help her.

Plagg flew out from my pocket. The poor guys felt so drained, and he doesn't even have camembert.

"Adrien! Hey Adrien! I can feel another kwami's power! It's really strong."

I looked at my kwami,"Are you sure?"

He nodded,"The power seems to be coming from Marinette's purse."

My hands started to shake.

I slowly unclipped the bag. There I saw a little glowing red kwami. She slowly opened her eyes and stared.

"You- you're Adrien..."

"Well hi there!" I said cheerily. Then I realized...

Marinette is ladybug.

She's ladybug...

MY PRINCESS IS THE ONE AND ONLY LADYBUG?!?!

I smiled brightly despite the position I was in.

"Tikki?" I was broken out of my trance once Plagg spoke.

The kwami; Tikki I presume perked up,"Plagg?"

She went out of the purse slowly flying to the black colored cat kwmami.

Plagg had tears in his eyes. (Can kwamis even cry?)

"Oh cheesecake..."

Tikki ra- I mean flew into Plagg's tiny arms.

"I missed you Plagg."

"I missed you more cheesecake."

She giggled. I started to tear up. I have to admit that I'm a total softie when it comes to these moments.

But then I remembered that I had so much questions in mind.

"Ehem. I'm sorry to break the happy reunion, but-"

"Are you serious Adrien? I just reunited with the love of my life then you interrupt me?"

Plagg glared at me with his neon green eyes.

Tikki giggled,"Plagg, it's fine. Besides, I'm sure that Adrien has some questions."

I gave Tikki a warm smile,"Thank you."

She giggled once again while Plagg glared.

Tikki's POV(the little sweetheart!!)

Adrien asked so much questions about Marinette. It was so cute which made him so annoying.

Of course I got tired; so did he. I cuddled unto Plagg on Adrien's shoulder.

A few minutes later, Adrien was dozing off; snoring quietly.

Me? Well... I was still cuddled into Plagg. Awake.

And worried.

Worried about Mari.

I'm Mari's guardian. I should've been the one to protect her.

I tried to shake the thought of Marinette being bossed around by Mr. Control freak.

I shuffled a bit,"You still awake cheesecake?"

Plagg whispered. Trying not to wake Adrien up.

See. He's not that heartless.

"Yeah. Couldn't sleep."

I broke out of our comfortable embrace.

"I'm worried Plagg. Marinette is there being controlled. I couldn't even break the barrier that's separating our magical bond."

I looked at Plagg with worried eyes,"What if I never get her back? She's important to me Plagg, and I failed her. As a guardian and as a friend."

Plagg came closer to me. Taking me back to his embrace.

"There, there cheesecake. We'll get her back, and besides... Adrien's with us."

I looked at the blonde boy from his shoulder. I finally found out why Marinette liked him so much.

It wasn't his looks she fell for, but the determination he had.

He wasn't like any guy out there, and he's perfect for her miraculous wielder.

She looked at Plagg with a small smirk,"Since when did you become so wise? A few millennia ago you just had food inside that head of yours."

A cheeky grin appeared on his face,"Cheese became my second love ever since I met you cheesecake, and besides your the wise one."

I hummed and snuggled unto him once again.

"You go, and sleep now cheesecake."

My eyes started to close, but I got to speak a bit.

"You should sleep too Plagg."

"Nah, I'll just stay up until you sleep."

I was already starting to doze off, but I got to ask one last question,"You won't leave me right?"

"Never."

And with that I slept.
