    Summary

    Marinette is terrified, suddenly. She’s not like this. She’s not this kind of alpha, to get her head turned by any pretty pheromones she trips over. She’s not--she’s not disloyal, she’s not inconstant. Chat smells like moonlight, like the sudden shock of night air and the terrifying rush of leaping out into the empty dark, like deserted city sidewalks and unfamiliar corners: something midnight-metallic, something strange, something wild. Nothing like Adrien. Not a single note in common.

    She’s not like this. She’s not like this.

    He smells--

    He smells--

    “Ladybug,” Chat croaks, still staring at her.

    He smells stray.

    aka, the “If Marinette Had Stayed” version of “the luck I’ve had”.

    Summary

    “Come on,” Plagg says in that same weird tone. Adrien still can’t place it. “Trust me, okay? You’re not my first rodeo. I’ve gotten a lot of Chat Noirs through this.”

    Oh. The tone. It’s . . . sympathy?

    That can’t be right, Adrien thinks, hiding his face in his arms. He wants to cry. He wants Ladybug to come back. Why’d she run off like that? Why’d she--why’d she get in so close and then leave him?

    Summary

    “Why don’t you want to fall in love with pigtails, kid?”

    Adrien exhaled slowly. the rain had stopped, and the clouds were lighter than they were when he left from the Chinese classes. One would think the sun would peek through the clouds but it was a little far from it, the clouds still remained.

    .
    The one where Plagg and Adrien talk post M. Pigeon 72 and when asked why Adrien doesn't want fall in love with Marinette, he has a rather interesting answer one wouldn't expect.

    Summary

    "Guess you can say the tower fell just as hard as I fell for you, milady" 

    Ladybug glared at him, and it wasn't the usually playful glare she always had when he made a joke. This was a glare of utter disappointment, a glare he often got from his father.

    The sudden ease he got from his joke vanished leaving him nervous and on edge. He understood now wasn't the time but it helped him not panic and kept him focused, he was hopping it would do the same for ladybug but it appeared to do the opposite.

    Summary

    "If he was completely honest with himself, the only reasons he hadn't given up his ring was that Plagg would probably never forgive him if he did, but also because he was scared. Running around Paris at night, even without company, was still a thousand times better than a prison disguised as a marble palace. He was terrified of how he would be if he were to give that up. So instead, he would work on himself.

    And then maybe Chat Noir wouldn't be so annoying anymore."
