Another Chance: Stoneheart Part-2



(Y/N)'s P.O.V.


I grip onto my bag strap as I make my way to school. Even after a whole morning of warnings from my mother to be careful, I can't help but feel that it's all my fault. She didn't know that. I never told her about finding a Miraculous that turns me into a superhero. That would certainly freak her out.


"(Y/N)!" I see Alya and Marinette waving at me, pulling me out of my thoughts.


"Hey, Alya. Marinette," I greet them.


"Look!" She says and shows me her phone, "LadyRosé. My new blog! Look at all those views I got since I posted the video!" She said and I smile.


We walk into the school as we chat but I can't pay attention to them.


My gaze falls on Ivan, "I'm sorry. I wasn't myself then," I hear him say. His words make me purse my lips.


A snicker rings through the crowd, "Once a monster, always a monster," She says making me angry. "Oh, shut up, Chloé. Like you aren't one yourself," I hiss at her and walk towards Ivan. I call out his name but he rushes away to the locker rooms.


"Come on, Marinette, Let's help him out," I say as Alya storms towards Chloé. We follow Ivan. There he sits on the floor as he listens to music. I touch his shoulder as Marinette bends over, "Hey there, Ivan" I say smiling softly. He turns away from us.


"I know what you think," He speaks, "You shouldn't be around a monster like me..."


I look at Marinette with an understated expression and she gives me the same.


"You know...not everything that snob says is true..." She starts, "People just look at her because her father's the mayor. Just let Chloé be who the heck she wants to be and tell Mylene that you love her," She says making me nod. He then looks at us with an embarrassed expression.


"I-I don't know what you're talking about," He says before blushing and looking away. I nudge him with my elbow playfully, "C'mon, Ivan, I saw the way you looked at her," I say making him frown.


"No negative emotions!" Marinette and I say in unison making both of us giggle. After a moment of silence, he sighs, "I can't say...it...you know...that I love her," He says and I can already feel a smile on my face.


"Love doesn't mean that you just have to say those words...you could read her a poem or maybe...give her a note..."


"Or write her a song!" He says enthusiastically making me chuckle, "Or that," I say as he stands up.


Marinette swoons, "Oh, a love song just for her. I can imagine how special she'll feel" She says as he walks away, "Go get her!"


Ten minutes later, I'm walking to class with Alya and Marinette. I smiled at how the two had a close friendship as we reached the classroom. We gasp at the scene before us.


A guy with blond hair fiddles with a half-eaten chewing gum placed on Marinette's seat.


"Hey! What the heck are you doing?!" Marinette rushes over to her seat.


"No..wait-I was just-" The blonde-haired boy's interrupted by Chloé and Sabrina's hyena-like laughter making me look at them angrily before looking at the boy in disappointment.


I observe his actions. Blonde hair, model-esque physique...Could it be?


"You're...Chloé's friend, aren't you?" I say in a pressing tone as I give Marinette a tissue to get the gum out. He frowns, "Why do people keep saying that?"


I look at Marinette who is sitting on her desk with an angry expression. Without another word, I sit behind her as she fumes about the boy.


"I know I've seen him somewhere before," She says as Alya shows us a picture of a magazine cover. It's the front cover of a middle-aged man wearing glasses in a suit.


"What's this?" I ask with a confused expression. Marinette looks at me shocked, "Have you been living under a rock? That's Gabriel Agreste, Paris' most famous fashion designer and my idol! That sneaky brat over there must be his son, Adrien Agreste, the one Chloé was talking about yesterday," Marinette says as she swipes through Alya's phone showing different photo's of Adrien in covers of magazines.


"Daddy's boy, rich kid AND Chloé's buddy? That...does not blend well" I say with a sigh making Alya hum in agreement before getting back to her normal status.


I can't help but look at the boy sitting in front with Nino, holding a sceptical expression. He was certainly handsome...with that blonde hair, perfect jawline and rounded dreamy green eyes. Shame that he had to be Chloe's friend.


"Why don't you tell them it was Chloe's idea? You were just trying to help them..." I overhear Nino say which makes me raise an eyebrow.


"I've known Chloé since I was a kid. I know Chloe's not perfect but I can't just betray her. She's the only friend I've got,"


Maybe I spoke too soon...


Before anything else is said, I feel a strong pain making me yelp softly. Just then, Stoneheart burst through the door. He snatches Mylene and Chloé from their seats and rushes out.


As everyone's freaking out, I run into the bathroom.


"Seven! It's springtime to bloom!" I say and she gets sucked into the miraculous transforming me into my alter ego. Sensing the Akuma, I run towards the Eiffel tower. I reach there just in time as Stoneheart throws Chloé towards the ground.


I grab her before the fall, carrying her bridal style and sigh in relief. "I didn't promise," She said making me raise an eyebrow, "What?" I say as I drop her off.


"Primvère!" Cat Noir and Ladybug approach me, "Ladybug! Cat Noir!" I say in relief as I look towards Stoneheart holding Mylene.


"Ready for fire!" I hear the officer say making my eyes widen, "No! Wait! Don't shoot! You know it'll make him grow bigger!" I say holding out my hands, "Step back! Unlike you, we have a plan! Now, step off or get shot too!" He says making me look at him offended.


"Primvère, he's right" I hear Ladybug say making me turn to her, "If I had de-evilised the Akuma before, then this wouldn't have happened," She says. Tears gather on the edge of here eyes which makes my expression soften.


"No, Ladybug, they're wrong, if it weren't for us, Kim would be safe right now. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have defeated him the first time," I say as I put my hand on her shoulder.


"Primvère's right, Ladybug. If it weren't for us, the people wouldn't believe in us right now," Cat says making her smile.


Suddenly, Stoneheart coughs enormously making us look up, "What's happening to him?!"


Then, countless moths swarm out of his mouth, forming the shape of a face as he coughs grimly. "People of Paris, listen carefully. I am Hawkmoth," It starts to speak out as Stoneheart falls to the ground.


"Hawkmoth?" Ladybug, Chat Noir and I say in unison.


"Primvère Rosé, Ladybug and Chat Noir, give me your miraculous now. I think you're enough damage to these innocent people," The male behind the face says making me clench my jaws.


I let out an audible scoff as I begin to clap my hands. Ladybug and Cat Noir look at me as if I'm crazy.


"Oh, great commentary, Hawkmoth..." I growl.


"And nice try, but we already know who the bad guy is," I say and then place a hand on my hips as I walk towards him, or whatever he was. "Let's not try to reverse the roles here. If it weren't for you, none of these innocent victims would be transformed into villains in the first place," I say and clench my fist as I glare at him.


"No matter how long it takes, we will find you, Hawkmoth. And you will hand us your miraculous!" I say and rush towards him, "Ladybug!" I call out her name making her nod and follow behind.


I grip on my whip tightly before jumping up, "Time to de-evilise!/Roses Divine!" Ladybug and I say in unison as we both extend our weapons and hit the moths forcefully. Purple rose petals form around me and then fully charge towards the moths and swirl around them making Hawkmoth roar in defeat.


The moths vanish as well as Hawkmoth making me jump on the Eiffel Tower as we capture the Akuma.


I turn to face the city, "Let me make this promise to you. No matter who or what wants to harm you, Primvère Rosé, Ladybug, and Cat Noir give you our words that we'll do everything in our power to keep you safe!" I say and then Ladybug release butterflies with her yo-yo and I pull back my arrow with my bow, releasing it into the sky filling the air with purple rose petals.


Everyone's cheering for us making me grin from ear to ear.


"Prim.." Ladybug gives me a happy smile as I grab her and Cat Noir's hands.


Just as we were celebrating our victory, Stoneheart awakes with a highlighted moth-like mask. He jumps up from his fall and starts ascending the tower."You'll never take Mylene away from me!" He yells making the ground shake as he climbs up, "Come to me, my stone beings!" Stoneheart says making the other stone beings climb up the Eiffel Tower.


Cat Noir gasps as he looks down at them, "We're surrounded. What do we do now? We can't attack them," He says making me look around.


"Hold your whiskers, kitty, I know we can't but we know where the Akuma is," I say and look up at Stoneheart, "In his clenched fist, the one he's holding Mylene with," Ladybug says making me nod, "So, we know that he's in love with her,"


"We don't separate Stoneheart and Mylene," She says making me grab hold of my whip.


"We bring them closer together. They're made for one another! It's just that they don't know it yet" She says making me nod, "Exactly! Now come on! Let's fetch us some Akuma!" I say as my whip takes me up to the top of the tower.


I look up to see Mylene screaming from Stoneheart's grip, "Help me! I'm scared of heights!" Mylene cries.


"Don't worry! We're here to save you!"


"So, how are you, uh...guys planning to get them closer than they already are?" Cat Noir says making me smirk, "By using our powers!" I say and get ready for my stance.


"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug says and then throws her yo-yo into the air. A parachute fall on her hands, "What am I supposed to do with this?" She says confused.


"Do you really know what you're doing?!" Cat says making me get ready, "I don't know...guess we've gotta find out," I say and look at Ladybug as she puts on the parachute.


"Cat! His hand! Get ready!" I say making him nod.


I pull my whip forcing Mylene to kiss Stoneheart's cheek. He gasps and suddenly loosens his grip on Mylene making the Akuma fall out.


Cat jumps into action and hits the Akuma to me and I break it into two, "No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma," Ladybug says only to interrupted by Stoneheart changing back into Ivan and falling off the tower with Mylene.


I jump into action, "Cat, you go for Ivan!" I say and catch Mylene as Ladybug comes and grabs me before pulling the string to open the parachute and at the same time catching the Akuma, "Gotcha!" She says as we land on the ground.


"Miraculous Ladybug/Primrose!" We both say in unison and I release an arrow as she throws the parachute in the sky.


I gasp at the scene before me, "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Cat says and approaches with Ivan. Purple rose petals and ladybugs swoop around the city, repairing all the damage and transforming the stone beings back into normal, "Yeah, It's beautiful," I say and step forward, "It's amazing" Ladybug says making me giggle.


"It's Miraculous!" We both say in sync, "I think you became my best super-friend!" I say making her giggle and hum in response, "You're right, I am..." She says and we fist bump.


Now that everything's back to normal, I smile and look towards Ivan and Mylene, "I think you both have some talking to do," I say and wink at Ivan making him blush, "I, uh...um" He stutters making me chuckle, "Maybe it would help if you read the lyrics to Ivan's song" I say and hand over the crumpled paper to Mylene.


I walk towards Cat and Ladybug before giggling at the sight of Mylene hugging Ivan, "They're made for each other!" Ladybug says making me smile, "Yeah..." I dreamily say before something strikes my mind, "Ah...right..." I say before walking back,


"No more injustice to the world....and here's a token from a rose~!" I say cheekily and then suddenly purple rose petals form around me before petals make their way to Ivan and dance around his right arm. Then, a rose tattoo appears on his arm and under it, the name 'Mylene' appears right after making me grin as Ivan blushes a deep red colour.


Mylene blushes and hugs his tattooed arm, "Now that's what I call true love," I say and chuckle before my miraculous beeps, "I gotta go," I say as I face towards the duo, "I should go, too" Ladybug says making Cat Noir walks towards me.


"Did I ever tell you, you're the most beautiful rose I've ever seen~?" He says flirtatiously. For a moment, I'm take aback by his behaviour but then feeling giddy, I burst out laughing.


This boy...


"Goodbye, kitty. See you soon," I say before extending my whip and jumping from building to building.


"Can't wait, m'lady,"

"So, by the time I biked the Eiffel tower, everything was over! I can't believe I missed all of that!" Alya says as we walk with Marinette to school.


"Don't worry. You'll get your scoop eventually" Marinette says making me nod, "She's right"


"Yeah, the next target, Primvère Rosé and Ladybug: An Exclusive Interview!" Alya says as her mood brightens, "Oh~ Sounds exciting~" I say making Marinette giggle, "Oo~ Wait! Even more exciting, Finding out who's really behind those masks!?" Alya says making me smile, "Good luck with that one!" I say as she walks ahead with Marinette.


We enter our class.


"No, wait!" Marinette says before walking up to Chloe's seat and gesturing one of us to seat with her making me look at Alya who's looking at me.


"You go ahead. I'm fine with my seat" I say making Alya's eyes widen, "Behind Chloe!?" She says making me chuckle, "I'll make her life a living hell!" I say making her smirk, "Now that's my girl!" She says and sits behind Nino.


I make way over to my seat and sit down in a dramatically graceful way making them chuckle.


Just then, the drama queen enters the class. She glares at Marinette sitting on her seat. "You're in the wrong seat! Go on, now, get lost!" Chloe says making me roll my eyes.


"All that is necessary for the triumph over evil is that good people do nothing," Marinette says making me smirk.


"What's that supposed to mean?" Chloe says and crosses her arms, "That means that she's not going to be putting up with your crud anymore, Chloe and neither is anyone else here! So take your stupid attitude and sit down!" I say and point to the desk in front of me making everybody laugh.


Chloe sneers at me before sitting in front of me. Then Adrien walks into the classroom. I feel the tension in the air as he waves at Marinette, but she looks away from him sharply and he frowns.


I can't help but notice the hurt expression in his eyes. I don't know why it makes my heart ache for a while...


"Dude, you wanna make friends right? well, go and talk to Marinette about the chewing gum," I overhear Nino say which makes me glance at them. "But what should I say to her?"


"Just be yourself,"


---


"Ugh," I groan while I look up at the sky as it rains. Trinkets of rainwater hit my skin, mocking me. I shouldn't have forgotten my umbrella. Now, I have to wait until it's finished pouring.


"Hey," I hear a familiar voice. I turn to see Adrien which makes me quickly look away. I hear him let out a sad breathe.


"I just want you to know..." He starts, "I was only trying to take off the chewing gum on her seat, I swear," He says and opens up his umbrella, "I've never been to school before. I've...never had friends. It's all just sort of new to me." He says and smiles sadly making my heart clench at his affectionate confession.


"Actually..." I say as I muster up my courage to speak. I touch his shoulder just as he's leaving, pausing for a moment as he turns to look at me in the eye, "I...kind of knew about the situation...and by the lunchtime, I told her to kind of forgive you and blame Chloe for it." I confess and giggle nervously but reassuringly.


His eyes light up and his expression changed drastically, "Y-You did?!" He says in a surprised tone making me nod.


"But why?"


I chuckle lightly, "I just remembered when I was in your shoes once and how much it hurt to feel as if no one would listen to me..." I give him a sad smile, "Well, that can be our secret..."


"You said you never had friends, right?" I ask with a smile on my face as he nods, "That's about to change," I say and grin before holding out my hand, "Name's (Y/N) (L/N). I'm new to this country and officially your newest current friend. If it makes you feel better, I also wasn't good at making friends until I came to this school..."


His lips form a thin nervous smile, "Um...A-Adrien Agreste. Nice to meet you, (Y/N)," He stutters making me giggle at his timid self. I can't help but notice a small tint of red flush across his cheeks.


Cute...


"Nice to meet you too, Adrien," I say cheekily before pulling back my hand.


"Here," He hands me his umbrella. My eyes widen at his unexpected gesture, "You obviously don't have an umbrella. You can have mine," He says and I look at him. The once shy, pouty expression he had turns into a soft, gentle one which makes my heart flip. The way he's looking at me...


"N-No...it's alright. I can wait for the rain to stop-"


"I can give you a ride otherwise?"


"The umbrella's fine!" I say making him smile, "T-Thank you so much..." It's my turn to stutter. Our fingers brush against each other as he hands over his umbrella startling me. I feel my face flush red just by looking at him.


"See you tomorrow?" He says as he walks away, "Y-yeah, see you tomorrow, friend..." I say and smile uneasily as he smiles at the nickname. He turns away but I can't help but focus my gaze at him.


He enters his limo and drives away yet I can't help but feel something erupting inside of my chest. Something odd...


Something I'll never forget.


Bonus:


"Seven..." I call out as I close my book. She hums in response.


"You know the pain I feel when there's an akumatized villain, right?" I say making her nod, "Yeah...What about it?" She asks making me turn to her, "Why does it exist?" I say with a tired sigh,


"Well..." She responded, "My creator said that the pain is called the 'piqûre' effect" She explained making me raise an eyebrow, "It exists to signal the holder that they failed to prevent the Akuma from akumatizing an innocent bystander," She says making me wince, "That's harsh..." I say making her giggle.


"Why do you want to know?" She asks me making me click my tongue, "It. hurts. like. hell." I say causing her to go silent before she bursts into laughter making me blush and go back to my book.


End Chapter.
