Chapter Text
“Marinette why are you dressed as Chat Noir?”
“Because its dress as your superhero day at school.”
“I know but why Chat Noir?”
“Because he is my fav hero and I can't dress as ladybug because I can't risk someone putting two and two together and discovering that I am in fact ladybug.”
“Kid, I know you love ladybug, but this is just plain weird.” Adrien was wearing a very expensive and detailed ladybug costume.
“Its dress as your favorite superhero day at school so i'm going as ladybug, the best and prettiest superhero ever.”
“I know that you've been blabbing about today ever since it was announced, but that ladybug costume looks very detailed and very high quality...How much did you spend on the costume kid?”
“I will neither confirm nor deny that I may or may not have spent, I mean invested 500 dollars on this.”
“500 dollars!” Plagg almost spit out his camembert, almost, he downed his fourth slice of camembert and they headed off to school.
Marinette walked into Madam Bustier’s classroom. It was like walking into a sea of red and black spots. Marinette stood out like a sore thumb in her Chat Noir costume.
“Look at maritrash dressed as that lame alleycat.” Marinette couldn't keep her anger down. She was tired of hearing sly comments and remarks about her partner. He was a savior of Paris for god's sake.
“Chat Noir is not an alley cat, he does more for Paris than you. All you know how to do is be a brat and cause akumas which is ironic since you love ladybug so much but all you do is give her more trouble. Your the part of the reason why ladybug and Chat Noir are needed here in Paris. Chat Noir has saved Ladybug countless of times, he always risks himself to save ladybug and all of us. Without Chat Noir Ladybug wouldn’t have been able to save Paris. SO if ANY of you want to make some stupid remark about Chat Noir not being important, don’t, because none of you will ever be able to be as great of a superhero as he is!” Chloe opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.
“Humph!” was the only thing Chloe said before storming off with Sabrina following her.
Adrien felt bad when Chloe had called him an alley cat, but he was used to it. He didn’t mind giving Ladybug credit since her lucky charm usually saved the day and her yo-yo was what captured and purified the akuma but some days the comments got to him. He was just a kid, well teenager, but still words hurt. He was about to excuse himself from class to recompose himself when he heard Marinette speak up. He knew that Marinette was really brave about standing up to Chloe but this surprised him. Marinette went off on Chloe, she was like a little ball of rage. Adrien couldn’t help but stare in awe at all the things Marinette had said about him, well about Chat.
“Wow Marinette I didn't know you were such a big Chat Noir fan.”
“I am, he’s my hero and a big inspiration to a lot of people,” she said, a light pink blush dusting her freckles cheeks, “nice ladybug costume.”
“Thanks, Ladybug is amazing,”
“She’s nothing without Chat Noir though,”
“If only you knew,” both of them thought.
