Today had been awful. More awful than Adrien could've imagined. He had heard what Alya said about him and Kagami breaking up from Plagg. Apparently he had been wanting to talk to Ladybug about how she was treating Cat Noir. And well Plagg had heard about Alya saying that.
Adrien just felt empty and also a bit angry. How could Alya say such a thing?! Yes. He and Kagami had broken up. But that didn't mean she should be happy about it. It was so insensitive!
Adrien couldn't help the words that came out. "That little witch! It's not my fault that I had to break up with Kagami. It was Shadowmoth's! That fucking piece of shit!" Adrien usually didn't curse. As he knew it would be bad for his image. But it just felt right to say. He supposed that was Plagg's influence. He couldn't really complain though. It had helped.
Plagg who had been flying near Adrien was a bit shocked by his language. Sure. He had told his kitten that it's good to break the rules and curse. But seeing Adrien so angry and upset concerned him. He knew one thing though. He was leaving a just a smidge of bad luck for the reporter girl. Nothing too terrible. But still. Why was she happy that Kagami and Adrien were no longer together? Then it hit him. She was pigtails best friend. And pigtails liked Adrien. Oh. Ohh.
Plagg quickly flew over to his camembert cupboard and grabbed some of it to calm himself down. He didn't want to risk getting angry. Sure there was a lot he wanted to go say to reporter girl and pigtails. But he knew he couldn't do that when his kitten was so upset.
Plagg didn't usually play sides. But he couldn't deny he might be a little bit of a shipper thanks to Duusu from many centuries ago. Still though. He first thought Adrien liking Ladybug was gross and so weird. He had told Adrien to go for Marinette. He really wished he could take it back.
When he had discovered who was under the Ladybug mask. He actually felt sick to his stomach. But he tried to play it off so he wouldn't feel guilty knowing Ladybug was Marinette.
That didn't work. The guilt had gotten worse and worse. And Plagg really wished he could tell his kitten that Ladybug was a stalker and was the one who abused him back when they had swapped miraculous. But he couldn't. The stupid magic spell prevented any kwami from saying their owners name.
And in Adrien's case it was concerning. He has no idea Marinette was the one who stalked him, made Kagami look bad at the movie premiere. Ect. Plagg seriously didn't want Adrien to love Ladybug anymore. She wasn't worth it!
Adrien saw Plagg eating his cheese and he looked a bit tense. That was odd to say the least. Adrien spoke softly. "Buddy. Are you okay?"
Plagg who has been in deep thought from worry quickly snapped out of it the best he could. "Y-Yeah. D-Doing g-great A-Adrien."
Adrien sighed sadly. "Can't believe it's been 3 months."
Plagg was confused. "3 months since what?"
Adrien tried to hold back the tears he had wanted to since the day it happened. But they started to stream down his face as he let out choked sobs. "S-Since K-Kagami broke u-up w-with m-me!"
Plagg felt his heart ache and had a very soft look on his face. He spoke softly. "That wasn't your fault kitten. You know that."
Adrien couldn't take it anymore and broke down completely sobbing loudly. "T-Then why d-do I f-feel s-so a-awful?!"
Plagg gently nuzzled Adrien's face and wiped his tears. He spoke softly again. "Because you cared about her. She might not realize it, but your always busy trying not to let others down. And I know it hurts kitten. Breakups are never fun. They hurt a lot."
Adrien laughed a little as he continued to cry. "I-I think I actually did l-love her. T-That's why it h-hurts s-so m-much t-that I-I couldn't b-be w-with h-her."
Plagg nodded trying to not cry himself. He couldn't lie. He was sensitive. He was good at pushing it down. But when it came to Adrien, Tikki or any of the other kwami's, he felt like breaking down.
Adrien wiped his tears feeling better but embarrassed. He usually didn't cry like that. But it had helped.
He decided he'd try to talk to Kagami tomorrow. Maybe. Maybe they could try again someday. He really hoped he hadn't lost Kagami. Whether it was as a girlfriend or a friend. He just didn't want to mess up again. And he hoped to all the good in his heart that he didn't.
Plagg knew Adrien and Kagami were a better match. He had always been an Adrigami shipper after all.
