tw // mind control

miraculous ladybug au!wilbur, fluff + action [+ angst?], platonic + romantic [up for interpretation]

they/them

S/N = superhero name :] [if you don't know any superhero name, then just go with Nyx Noir]
S/N/N = superhero nickname [if you're using Nyx Noir, then just go by Nyx]

a/n: woooo part 2 :D - i think this would've worked better if either wilbur was the one being mind-controlled, or wilbur had a crush on y/n and y/n had a crush on bugbur, but hey, what can you do- + i'm lazy <3

wilbur pov

"Plagg, claws in."

"TIKKI, SASS, UNIFY! SECOND CHANCE!" I say as quickly as I could, slipping on the bracelet and rewinding the clock. I was milliseconds away from seeing S/N's true identity and I was terrified. I shut my eyes, concealing their identity from my vision, reaching in front of my for their figure. I cover their face with my hands and I see a green flash in front of my eyes.

"Second chance."

"Plagg, claws in."

I shut my eyes, once again, pushing S/N into a pile of rubble to conceal their identity, and so that I could finally look Dream in the face. He eyed me with anger, rage fuming off of him and his ears blasting out smoke. Since his lasers were coming from his hand, the akuma must be in his fingerless glove. He instantly struck multiple attacks, his mind-control-like laser trying to get a hold of me. I only spun my yoyo, destroying the laser's ability to even penetrate my mind.

I go for the glove, "TIME TO DE-" it doesn't work. It didn't work... WHY DIDN'T IT WORK?!

"S/N, transform and fight him." Dream mumbles, which is enough for S/N to jump back into action. Sass zooms out of the snake miraculous, exhausted, so I throw a macaroon on the ground for him to eat. I spot a green light coming from the rubble, followed by my kitty.

My biggest crush, no, love, of all time out to kill me because this akumatised masked man decided that I was going to be their prey.

I couldn't bear to fight them, I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to, it was impossible. I spent my ups and downs with this person, they were everything to me and I don't want to be the permanent cause of that. They could die because of me and I could never forgive myself. As long as they're alive at the end of the day... I'm satisfied.

They pin me down, I didn't put up much of a fight, anyway. S/N/N had their right knee on my left arm and left hand on my right arm.

"Cataclysm..." They muttered, hovering their right hand over my heart, no emotion shown in their face.

It was now or never, even though the whole of Paris knew, I had to tell them one last time... "S/N/N... I love you."

No stutters, no nonsense, no special powers, no silly bug puns. I love them, with everything I have, and if risking my life means that I shall do absolutely no harm to them then so be it.

I laid and they sat in mere silence, Dream watching over us excited for my death, thinking that the suspense made the viewing experience all better. I have no idea what I spotted in their eyes that day, but it was my glimpse of hope that they were still there.

"Detransform now, mess with his head, then kill him." Dream mumbles, controlling S/N/N.

"Plagg, claws in."

"FUCK, NO NO, FUCK!" I seal my eyes shut, refusing to be revealed to their identity, "S/N... listen to me, I know you're still there, please-"

"Why don't you want to know who they are? You've been waiting for this moment your entire life, Bugbur! And I just wanna give it to you..." Dream taunts, his footsteps approaching me.

"Because, Dream, they trust me to not look, it's for the greater good."

"S/N say your real name. Say your real name FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO HEAR!"

I hear S/N let out a breath. It wasn't gonna happen like this, it wasn't gonna happen at all... no no no! I push them off before I could say anything, finally getting the opportunity to activate the snake miraculous again. Facing away from S/N and Dream, I activate it.

"My-"

"TIKKI, SASS, UNIFY! SECOND CHANCE!"

"My real name is-"

"Second chance."

"My real name is-"

"LUCKY CHARM, BITCH-" Tape and a blindfold? Alright, c'mon. Blindfold, cover my eyes? No, too obvious. Cover Dream's eyes so he doesn't see where he's shooting and duct tape his mouth so he can't control S/N. Then use S/N's cataclysm to destroy his mask, where the akuma is being kept. Got it.

I get to work, pouncing at Dream, attacking from behind and blinding him with my spotted blindfold.

"SAY YOUR NAME, S/N! NOW! GOD FUCKING DAMMIT-"

"Y/N Agreste."

"Y/N?"

No... no, it couldn't be...

Y/N IS JUST A FRIEND!

*technical difficulties*
*please stand by*

"Y/N Agreste."

"Y/N?" I only repeat. No way, no fucking way.

I stare at them, while they were staring blankly at the edge of the Eiffel tower. All this time I had been calling them a friend, a best friend even, and now I find out that the person I love... had been by my side this entire time. All the way through... since kindergarten.

I hear Mothra from Dream's communication to her, "YES! IT WAS THE AGRESTE GIRL ALL ALONG! That asshole Marinette is gonna get what's coming to her, I'll send a sentimonster her way as a... gift from an old 'friend..'" Dream chuckles along, "NOW GRAB HER MIRACULOUS!"

"Mothra, their pronouns are they/them..." I correct, "Get it right."

"... Sorry." Mothra mutters, grudgingly, "I respect those pronouns."

*technical difficulties*
*please stand by*

I hear Mothra from Dream's communication to her, "YES! IT WAS THE AGRESTE... PERSON ALL ALONG! That asshole Marinette is gonna get what's coming to her, I'll send a sentimonster her way as a... gift from an old 'friend..'" Dream chuckles along, "NOW GRAB THEIR MIRACULOUS!"

"I'm playing with them a bit, Mothra, they're easy to manipulate."

I was still processing that Y/N was... S/N. God... I almost forgot that I could make Dream, Mothra, and the whole world forget that Y/N is S/N.

"Second chance."

"My-"

"Lucky charm!" my items fall from the sky and I act quickly.

I crash my lips on their's, sealing the kiss shut. Would true love's kiss really work this time in history?

"Don't say your name, please don't say your name, please- Fuck it..." I whisper in their ear, "Wake up, Y/N."

Instead of another kiss back, I get a burning laser shot on my side, falling to the ground. No, no, no, no, no! This can't be happening, this can't be-

I stand up, unaware of what I was doing, reaching for my ears. I vaguely remember anything, my vision was clouded, and all I could see was a masked man.

Y/N pov

I regain consciousness, the first thing I heard? Wake up, Y/N. And oh boy, did I wake up...

"Bugbur-?" I say, but he was already on the ground, I glare at where the laser shot from.

"Dream."

"S/N."

He goes for a quick offensive attack, blocked by my cat-like reflexes using my spinning pole.

"You fucking controlled me, you bastard, you actual-"

"I did what I had to do, little one, learn to be like me. Smart, fast, strong-"

"Cocky?" I trip him up as he's rambling, breaking his mask with the tip of my extendable pole.

"Cataclysm!" One small touch destroyed the akuma, "You're dead, little butterfly."

Bugbur wakes up from his trance, examining where he was and how he got there.

"Y/- S/N?" he sighs in relief.

"Bugbur!" we embrace into a hug, "Did I do anything bad?"

"A bit, do you remember?"

"Nope."

"Oh..." he escapes the hug, "Alright then, let's help out-"

We both glance over to the akumatised victim in his civilian form.

"Clay..." Bugbur and I say at the same time.

"Hey guys..." I only knew Clay because he was Wilbur's brother, but eventually grew apart. Clay didn't want to take over the bakery (our rival bakery, the Rossis.) Apparently, my mother, Marinette Dupain-Cheng Agreste, and Lila Rossi had a bit of a rivalry for my father, and my mother won, obviously. Nobody knew how, nobody knew why, but it was mind-blowing to me. Clay continues, "I know who Mothra is."

"What are you talking about?" Bugbur steps in front of me.

"Mothra is my mother." Clay states.

"Lila Rossi?"
