When The Class Becomes Aware

"I was a way more awesome Akuma than you!"

"I could TIME TRAVEL!"

"I was Reverse Cupid!"

"TIME TRAVEL, KIM!"

"CUPID, ALIX!"

The class watched Alix and Kim argue with mildly amused looks. They've been at it since class started and even Miss Bustier seemed amused with the argument when they should be working on the handout she gave the class.

"This is an argument only this class could have," Nino muttered in amusement.

"What do you mean?" Adrien furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at his best friend.

Unknowingly making Marinette melt inside at the adorable look, but that's besides the point.

"Just about everyone in our class has been turned into an Akuma," Alya leaned forward on her desk. She gained a thoughtful expression and turned to the class. "Hey!"

The arguing stopped as everyone put full attention onto the teenage reporter.

"What's up, Alya?" Alix crossed her arms with a slightly frustrated look. She was so close to proving Timebreaker was better than Dark Cupid.

"Everyone in here has been turned into an Akuma, right?"

There were head nods and mutters of confirmation as everyone glanced at each other, remembering each villain personal they took.

"What about you, bro?" Nino asked his best friend.

Adrien thought for a second before shaking his head. "No butterflies have chased after me."

"How about you, Marinette?"

The entire class silently watched their class representative get slightly nervous and scratch the back of her neck.

Her voice was quiet when she responded. "Well...I've never actually turned into an Akuma, but I almost was a few times…"

Everyone jumped as Alya slammed her hands on her desk, fire in her eyes as she stared at her best friend.

"What?"

Marinette squeaked and held her hands in front of her in a sign of peace. "Miss Bustier took the first one for me!"

The students looked at their teacher, who gave a nod to confirm.

"And…" A pained look came over Marinette's face as she refused to look at anyone. "Someone noticed the second Akuma coming for me and talked me out of it before it could touch me."

Adrien released a silent breath at that. The thought of sweet and friendly Marinette being akumatized was...something he didn't want to think about.

He just hoped it never happened. It was a horrifying thought.

"Why didn't you tell us, Marinette?" Rose gently asked as they all got concerned on what could make their class representative negative enough to almost turn into an Akuma a second time.

"It's not something you just bring up," The bluenette shrugged and stubbornly kept her eyes on her desk.

She didn't want to bring up the memories of her classmates-friends- turning on her and Lila threatening her. How alone she felt, like it was before Alya came into her life. The fear that Lila could actually take away all her friends and leave her with nothing.

She thankful for Tikki every day.

Marinette snapped her head up when Alya gently rested her hand on the bluenette's arm. Looking into the concerned and fearful eyes of her best friend.

"Girl, if you ever get sad or angry or anything you know you can come to me, right?"

A watery smile came across the bluenette's face and she hugged her best friend. "Of course."

"Good," Alya hugged back. "If Hawk Moth wants to get his grimy little butterflies on you, he'll have to get through me first!"

"The same goes for you, bro," Nino turned to Adrien. "If Hawky wants you than I'll fight him myself! Give him the old one-two."

Chuckles filled the classroom as the tension faded away, but a thought nagged at the back of the classes head.

They can't let their friends get into Hawk Moth's hands.

"The first official meeting of 'Operation: Protect the Cinnamon Rolls' is a go!"

The entire class huddled in the corner of the library with only Marinette and Adrien (both of whom the meeting was about) and Lila (who had an appointment with a famous-something-or-other).

Alya took charge. "This meeting is about making sure two of our five class cinnamon rolls do not get turned into an Akuma."

Rose raised her hand in question. "Who are the other three class cinnamon rolls?"

"You, Nathaniel, and Mylène."

The three spoken-of blushed.

"Anyway, back on track" The teen blogger shook her head. "We need suggestions on ways to keep Adrien and Marinette from becoming Akumas, any ideas."

Mylène raised a hand. "We can keep a close eye on them to see if they start being sad or angry."

"Good one."

Nathaniel spoke up. "I could work on making funny art for them to look at when sad."

Alya gave a thumbs up. "Mari doesn't act like it, but she loves memes. I like it."

Nino nodded. "Adrien is the definition of a meme. He really likes puns for some reason too."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Rose eagerly raised her hand. "Juleka and I can bring them flowers when they are upset."

"Keep it up, people. These are gold," Alya grinned. If Hawk Moth thinks he could get their friends he has another thing coming!

"I could make a playlist of their favorite music and let them borrow my headphones, they're sound canceling."

"I could suggest helping them on their homework. There is a seventy-five point one-five percent chance they will agree."

"Exercise is a good way to burn off anger!"

"I could teach them to roller skate as a distraction!"

"I'm a good listener," Ivan rubbed the back of his neck, feeling his suggestion isn't as good as the other's. He smiled when Mylène rested a hand on his knee in comfort.

Chloé didn't look up from where she was filing her nails. "I could offer Spas for when they get too stressed." There was silence when she realized that everyone was looking at her. She scoffed and crossed her arms, lightly glaring. "What?"

"Why are you helping, Marinette?" Alya raised a suspicious eyebrow. "I thought you've hated her guts since, like, kindergarten."

The blonde scoffed again and crossed her legs this time. "While that is very much true, she helped me fix my relationship with my mom. So I owe her one."

The blogger squinted at the blonde, before reluctantly letting it go. "Okay, we have our plans. Our mission is a go! Next meeting is next Thursday."

Marinette hissed as she gently rubbed her left wrist while she walked to class. She had accidentally bruised it when landing on her balcony after patrol last night and it was bothering her a bit.

"Hey, Marinette, are you okay?"

The bluenette yelped at the voice behind her and spun around, seeing Adrien looking at her in concern.

"I-uh-r-r-right as rain!" She overly grinned and stood up straight at the sight of her crush.

While she has gotten better at acting normal around him when she was aware that he was there. Adrien seemed to have the uncanny ability to surprise her at times, causing slight stuttering until she could pull herself together...which sometimes takes a while.

"Are you sure?" He asked her, eyeing her wrist. "I saw you rubbing your wrist."

"Oh, um, I hurt it on my balcony last night. It's just bruised," She lifted said appendage up to make the bandages more visible. "It'll take a while to heal, but it's a good thing I'm right handed!"

There was a flicker of something in his eyes before his face turned serious. "When exactly did you almost get Akumatized a second time?"

Nervousness flickered in her blue eyes before they drifted off his face to look at the wall. "It's not important. Nothing happened, it's over with."

"Please." The desperation in his voice made her eyes turn back to him. To his green eyes filled with concern and worry for her.

Marinette sighed. She could never deny him.

"When Lila came back. Something happened and I got really upset."

"What happened?"

The bluenette hesitated before opening her mouth. Just as she was about to say something the bell rang for class.

"Welp! Time to go to class, don't want to be late again!" Marinette gave an overly excited grin and bolted up the stairs to the class.

She sighed when she made it to her seat.

Thank the bell.

I know it looks like I will continue this, but...I won't unless I got the inspiration.
