"Ladybug. I've...A-Always wanted to tell you something...Now that we have time..." Chat Noir said as they sat on the Eiffel Tower, overlooking the beautiful city of love. Chat wanted to see if Ladybug liked him back, if his crush wasn't just a one-sided infactuation. After all, he had been struggling between his feelings for Marinette and Ladybug. He really genuinely and truely liked Marinette the way he liked Ladybug, after hanging out with her as Chat so much, he got to know a different her. However, he had to see. After all, Ladybug was still the love of his life, over Marinette. No doubt.

If it really was one-sided. However, he knew that he'd get heartbroken, but he gave it a shot.

"Yeah, Kitty?" Ladybug asked, a warm infectious smile plastered on her face.

"Ladybug...I-I love you!" Chat said.

"I love you too," Ladybug replied, thinking that he meant it as a friend.

"No, Ladybug...I mean, I-I love love you...N-Not just as a friend..." Chat said. Ladybug's eyes widened as her jaw dropped. What would she say? What could she say? She loved Adrien! But she also loved Chat! When she said that she loved him, she meant it. And she couldn't possibly make a decision! Adrien was still the love of her life, but Chat...

"Chat-" Ladybug said as her smile faded. Chat cut her off as he already knew what she was going to say.

"I-It's okay, My Lady, I'm happy I let you know," Chat said, forcing a smile as he was near tears. His eyes glistened in the moonlight. Ladybug knew. He was already hurt.

"U-Um...Bye, see ya tomorrow!" he said, before running away. Ladybug felt a prick in her conscience and a pang of guilt. But seeing him brave enough to confess, she decided to do the same.

"I'm gonna do it, Alya!" Mari said.

"Do what?" Alya asked.

"I'm gonna do it!" Mari said again, much to Alya's chagrin.

"I'm gonna confess my feelings to Adrien!" said Mari, determination written all over her face.

"Well, go! He's leaving soon, ya know!" Alya said, pushing Mari towards the blonde boy.

"H-Hey Adrien! I've...No you've...No! I've got something to tell you!" Mari stammered, mustering up her courage.

"Yeah?" Adrien tried forcing a smile. Bitterness was all over his heart and he didn't even know who he was talking to.

"I...Like you!" Mari stuttered, with a tinge of hope.

"Welp, bye," Adrien said coldly, back facing the girl.

"I have no intention of liking you, so you can just give up," Adrien said.

"Since it's so easy for you to confess, you must like me for my looks, my fame or my family's wealth. You are no different from those shallow girls who come up to me and flirt every other day," he added, before leaving in his father's limousine, leaving a broken hearted Marinette standing at the entrance of the school. Tears brimmed her bluebell eyes as her heart sank. Alya and Nino came up to her to console her, but she was just beyond comfort. Hot tears rolled down her cheeks as she took time to absorb those harsh words. Adrien had never spoken to anyone like that. Someone whom he'd speak to like that, must be someone he hated very much.

"I don't know what's gotten into him, he's been like that this whole afternoon," said Nino.

"Maybe it's just his true colours showing, you don't need him, Mari!" Alya was fuming mad. No one was allowed to talk to her best friend like that. More importantly, the boy" her best friend liked.

-That Night-

"Marinette! It's not your fault!" Tikki said.

"I-I know, Tikki..But I'm...T-The only one he's ever rejected like that!" said Marinette.

"C'mon, it's time for patrol," said Tikki.

"I-I can't face Chat either!" Mari screamed.

"You still have to...Mari...You are the bravest Ladybug I've ever known as my chosen. I know you can do this. Believe in yourself. Whoever rejects you, it's because you're too good for them, okay?" Tikki encouraged.

"Thanks, Tikki, spots on," Mari said, smiling as she wiped her tears away. Tikki zipped into the earrings as the transformation started. Marinette still couldn't get rid of the feeling that both the important boys in her life probably hated her to the gut.

-Patrol-

"Well, well, well...If it isn't Ladybug. The girl who ruined my life with the boy who was destined to be with me. I'm back!" a familiar voice said.

"V-Volpina? But-"

"You defeated me long ago? No no no, you got it wrong! I defeated you, by making you think that you defeated me!" Volpina said.

"Dream on, that's not true," Ladybug rebutted.

"You're a fake. A lie. No one is going to believe you!" Ladybug said.

"You don't have your little cat boyfriend to help you this time, where is he, huh?" said Volpina.

"H-He's not my boyfriend," Ladybug said, near tears as she clenched her fists.

Is he coming?

"I'm sorry fox girl, but I'm not her boyfriend," said a very familiar voice which made Mari's eyes widen.

"Look what the cat dragged in," Volpina smirked.

"C-Chat..." Ladybug said.

"Not now, please, don't distract me," Chat begged, saying it a little coldly as Ladybug looked down.

"We lost her! See? I said not to distract me!" Chat shouted, gritting his teeth. Ladybug knew very well that he was still mad from the previous night. Ladybug just stood there, staring at the floor as tears dripped down.

"What are you doing! Help me defeat her!" Chat snapped.

Ladybug was still in her dazed state as so many things was on her mind. The boy she liked hated her. Her best friend for the past two years hated her. How could she even focus when two important people in her life hated her?

"Cataclysm!"

"I've always wondered, what if i use my cataclysm...On a person," Chat smirked as he said to Volpina. His mind was filled with thoughts. Evil. Angry. Sad. Depressing. Thoughts of all kinds. He couldn't focus one bit either. But instead of touching Volpina's hand, the hand he saw was someone else's hand. Ladybug. The girl he loved. he couldn't believe it as his heart nearly stopped. His hair stood on end as he looked up to a Ladybug looking down at the black mist on her hand. Ladybug ran away the moment she saw Chat Noir's eyes. Those emerald green eyes. Once filled with happiness. Were filled with anger. Brokenness. Despair...

Flashback

"Kitty?"

"Yes, My Lady?" Chat Noir replied.

"You'll never leave, right?" Ladybug asked, a warm, innocent smile plastered on her face.

"Never, a cat's promise, Bugaboo,"

Was That...All a lie?
