They are everywhere!

That's annoying...

Since you left home, on every corner and street you pass, there's a person using that damn Alliance.

It forced you to see Lila's face on every block.  You didn't have a good feeling about this.  But how could you tell your friends not to use it because it was made by a villain?

The way was to keep quiet so that you wouldn't look like a crazy person and wouldn't change the events of space time as Luppus had warned you.

Your parents had been on a philanthropic trip to the African continent for two weeks now, for the first time you would have preferred to go with them, as seeing your ex-boyfriend on every corner didn't help much with your mind.

Felix said that running away and ignoring isn't the right way to recover but you just weren't ready.

Now you were heading to his house with your nostrils flaring in anger. He hadn't been to school for a week, he hadn't answered your messages, when you asked about him to his mother, she said he was missing.

This whole thing was really weird, but it wasn't any weirder than Ladybug herself showing up at your house last night asking if you knew where he was.  As you didn't know, you tried to question her about the matter but she left in such a hurry that you didn't have time to ask much.

Today after you left school, out of the blue, you receive a short message from Felix.

'Come by my home today.  I've something for u.'

He disappears for a week and that's all he has to say???

When you entered his house, you marched angrily to his room.

The door was open, you didn't even knock when you took a step inside, the curtains were closed, there was a lamp that illuminated the armchair where Felix sat with his chin resting on his hand while reading a book.

He was without the vest and tie he usually wore, just a thin, tight white t-shirt that shaped six very visible cubes that you had never seen. He sat with his legs wide on each side of the armchair, the black sweatpants he wore made him stand out... You were completely speechless at that unexpectedly sexy sight.

"Your gaze tells me you missed me." He smirked as he put down the book looking at you with amused eyes. You shook your head coming out of the trance.

"Bad time to play with me Felix! What's this about you disappearing?! Start explaining yourself if not... " You remembered how furious you were and slowly walked towards him with your hands ready to choke him..

He raised his hands in defense. "Easy shortie, I was making preparations for the best gift ever. It's a surprise that's why I couldn't tell you anything." You stopped, crossing your arms unconvinced.

"A gift? Did you disappear because of a gift? You better tell a better lie." You ran a hand over your face in frustration.

"Don't tell me you forgot your own birthday?" He asked as he went to look for something in his drawer.

You opened and closed your mouth in surprise, with so many things happening at once, you hadn't really remembered.

"Here it is, wear this to enter The Diamond's Dance tonight." He placed a mask in your hand that reminded you of a diamond. Before you could question he added;

"Your gift will be there at the party.  Don't ask questions, I planned this for a long time, I'd rather show you than explain, right?" You looked reflectively at him and then at the mask.

"But Adrien will be there..." He shook his head.

"No, he won't. He'll arrive much later.  Raise your head, shortie, don't you think it's time to stop ignoring him?  I'm starting to feel bad for the boy." Felix pinched your cheek with a comforting smile before returning to the armchair and picking up the book he was reading.

You mumbled running your hand over your cheek.

"That's what he gets for breaking up with me!" You crossed your arms, pouting. Then a silly idea popped into your mind. "You know what?  Damn it, I will! It might be fun crashing a party." Your eyes shone with a certain mischief, you were tired of running away from your feelings, you had your time to compose yourself.

"Now we're talking, shortie." He smiled proudly.  You shot him a warning look.

"Don't think I'll easily forgive you for disappearing. This gift better be very unique, if not..." You threw one of the pillows towards him as a final warning. He caught the pillow in the air and stifled a laugh on it.

"How can I take you seriously if you just throw a pillow at me as a threat?" He raised an eyebrow. You bit your lower lip holding back a laugh, he was right. Not intimidating at all.

Actually deep down you were happy and relieved that he was okay.

✷✷✷

After spending the afternoon with Felix and having tea with him and his mother, you went home to get ready for the extravagant event that Gabriel was organizing.

When you got home you did more research about this party. It looks like the guest list was a very selective list of rich and influential people, you weren't on the list.

I don't even want to know how Felix got this mask...

While you were getting ready, you burst out laughing when you remembered that your parents forgot your birthday. You just shrugged resignedly.

"Who can blame them? I forgot too."  You told yourself as you looked at your reflection in the mirror. You felt gorgeous.

Crashing your ex-father-in-law's party is actually an interesting thing to do when you forget your 18th birthday.

The rebellious side of you thought as you put on the mask.

✷✷✷

After easily passing the security guards and entering that closed white cubicle where the party was taking place.

You looked around, all those people in white in such an enclosed space.

It feels like I'm in a mental hospital...

You laughed to yourself as you went to find a drink. But a blonde hairdresser stopped in front of you.

"Oh you're new. What's your name?"  You'd recognize Chloe's voice anywhere. You said the name they scanned on your mask.

"You have style, I like it. I'm Chloe Bourgeois, come on." She grabbed your arm and pulled you into the middle of the cubicle while babbling about rich parents and underlings.

You rolled your eyes and just went with the flow, joining her in this alcoholic orange drink.

Drinking was the only thing that entertained you at this party, these people talked about such futile and self-centered things that it was driving you to boredom.

"The King and Queen are about to open the ball." Your eyes stop on the platform of an upper floor where you finally saw Adrien and Kagami talking to each other.

"Felix?" You thought out loud, he was dressed like Adrien but the difference was obvious to you. The slightly furrowed eyebrows, the cold eyes and that confident air unmasked him. How had no one but you noticed?

"I think you've mistaken it, He's Adrien Agreste."  Chloe stated with such certainty that it made you stifle a laugh.

"I'd recognize my bestie guy from afar, silly."  You smiled showing your teeth at her then looked back at the platform that descended while the lights illuminated just the two of them.

You felt that strange feeling again, but as soon as his eyes met yours, he winked at you, making it go away.

"(L/n)!! You crashed the party!  Security!" Chloe finally realized and shouted making you the center of attention. They looked at you as if you were some kind of monster and some even recognized you by your reputation as Kisser Girl.

"Isn't she that Kissy Girl?"

"How does someone who is supposed to be high class do such vulgarity?"

"I heard she was born poor. So shameful..."

Voices whispered from everywhere, you were already used to unwanted attention so you weren't fazed by it at all.

Moving you away from the people to the empty center where the dance would take place, Felix took your hand guiding you in a dance in the middle of the spotlight. You let him guide your moves and the two of you danced while having fun with Gabriel's irritated face without understanding what was happening downstairs.

"All eyes are on you. You look perfect." He looked at you as if you were a star, your cheeks felt slightly warm as you looked away.

"I'd say the same if you weren't dressed as my ex-boyfriend. And... all eyes look at me as if I were a monster." You watched as they're looking. You felt his warm breath on your neck as he brought his lips to your ear and whispered;

"Look closer, (Y/n). They're the monsters. Wouldn't the world be better if they just disappeared?" He squinted his eyes as he looked at them.

"Adrien! You don't suppose to... Felix! Where is my son?!" The two of you stopped dancing when Gabriel's voice boomed from the platform above.

"He is free from you, uncle, I'll make sure of that. Duusu, spread my feathers!" Felix transformed and released a small red moon that gradually grew larger and floated up to the ceiling.

"How you dare! I will not allow-" Just a snap of his fingers, Felix made Gabriel disappear, leaving only purple smoke that dissipated into the air. The guests freaked out and started running to save themselves, but he wasn't finished.

You were trying to process what was happening while with each snap of his fingers people disappeared one by one. The red moon grew so large that it made a hole in the ceiling and floated upwards, plunging Paris into a scarlet glow.

You moved away from the debris that fell from the ceiling, taking steps backwards, the smoke obstructing your vision, you ended up slipping and falling on your butt on a soft chair.

That's the Felix I know...

Always extravagant with his events.

You slapped your forehead, already picturing the problem this would cause.  As the smoke gradually cleared, you saw pink eyes looking at you through the smoke with a gleam of amusement, you stood and walked closer until you could see him completely.

"Enjoying the gift?" You were speechless, there were so many things you wanted to say and ask but you couldn't form words with him looking at you like that.

You felt kind of bad that you were enjoying this.

"C-cool outfit, a bit extravagant, like y-your gift." You didn't understand why you stuttered, it was all you could say, still mesmerized.

"I'm Flattered. Come on, this is just the beginning." He got up, picking you up and jumping to the hole in the ceiling.  You stood frozen as those arms held you tight.

"Rejoice Kagami, now you're truly free." He told her before gone with you in his arms through the ceiling.

✷✷✷

He left you at the top of the Eiffel Tower so you could have the best view of the city.

You didn't understand what he was getting at by making everyone disappear, you just believed he had a good reason, something he wasn't telling you.

So you just watched him have fun snapping his fingers while singing a villain song making people disappear.

Felix singing? That's something you don't see every day, hahaha.

From afar you could see Ladybug's silhouette. They started to fight.

"Alright, enough watching for today..." You used the tower's elevator to go down faster. But when you got down there it was too late, he had already made her disappear.

"You monster! You made everyone I love disappear!" Kagami had her katana in position ready to attack him.

"Not everyone." He snapped his fingers and Adrien appeared in front of the two of you. You couldn't help but smile discreetly as he was wearing his pajamas.

So cute...

"Kagami? (Y/n)? What happened?" Even though he was confused, his eyes only focused on you, it was quick, but you were sure he looked you up and down.

"I created a better world, my favorite cousin. A world where we're all free. Aren't you incredibly happy?" Kagami growled and went at him with her katana.

"How can we be happy when there is no one left?!" He just dodged her attacks.

"This is madness Felix! Bring everyone back now!" Adrien shouted along her.

"I don't understand. You are free! Why aren't you happy?" Felix had helpless eyes, you had never seen him like this, it broke your heart, you agreed that he exaggerated a lot but no one was seeing that he just wanted to help.

"Calm down Kagami! You two are being too harsh. He just wanted you to be free." You finally took a side. Felix always supported you, helped you and was there for you when you needed a friend the most.

It's my turn to support him even though he's wrong.

Kagami stopped and shot a sharp look in your direction. "Do I look happy to you?"  She growled angrily.

"It's his fault Ladybug lost all the jewels... Stepping over others for freedom isn't right." Adrien said disappointedly.

"Efficiency... He got rid of the Monarch, didn't he?  A feat that she and Chat Noir have been trying to do forever..." Deep down you were relieved to be able to say what you think without being afraid.

Adrien looked at you with sad, cold eyes.

"I'm not even surprised that you sided with him in all this madness. You made your choice, didn't you? You chose him." He mocked with a bitter laugh. You widened your eyes in disbelief and responded with the same mocking tone as him.

"Adrien Agreste talking about choices?  Just like when you chose to break up with me instead of facing your father, right? You made your choice." He took a step in front of you.

"Have you finally stopped running away and decided to lay your cards on the table? So will I... You've broken my heart so many times (Y/n), but I've always, always fought for you. Did you ever fight for me after finding out it was me under the mask?" As he spoke your blood boiled with rage. After everything you've been through, does he still doubt your love?

"I can't believe my ears... I lost several nights of sleep, I had several anxiety attacks because of you!" You pointed at him and continued taking it out of yourself, ignoring the urge to cry when remembering it;

"Sorry if I couldn't handle our breakup as well as you! What am I supposed to do? Beg at your feet for you not to be such a coward and face your father for us?!" Now he also got angry.

Felix and Kagami were speechless upon seeing the extent of this fight. Felix never thought he'd feel so bad seeing the two of you arguing, he didn't want that, he wanted you to be happy and get back together. Did everything he did do no good at all?

What did I do wrong?

"Stop it (Y/n)! Just stop playing with my mind, stop pretending you love me when you kiss another one! You may have loved Chat Noir once but Adrien Agreste you never loved..." He couldn't contain the angry tears that streamed down his face as he remembered Lila's words.

Seeing him like that was breaking your heart, you didn't know he felt that way, you just wanted to hug him tight but the fury in his eyes seemed to make him so distant from you, even though he was right in front of you.

He glanced at Felix and then looked coldly back at you and said with harsh words what kept him awake for several nights.

"I shouldn't have ignored the signs, the way you wanted to fuck with me so badly without knowing it was me.  Once you found out, you didn't want it anymore. I'm too goody for you, (Y/n), am I not? From start you just wanted a asshole blonde to fuck you."

You couldn't believe what you had just heard, your eyes were filling with tears but this time you weren't going to allow them to fall.

Does he really think that about me?

It doesn't matter if he's the person you loved most, you wouldn't let him talk to you like you were a bitch.

Along with the pain in your heart, you also felt the burning sensation in the palm of your hand after slapping his face.

"If that's what you think of me, so be it, I'm done of suffering for you and done of this shit talk." You didn't give yourself time to look at him for another second and turned around, passing Felix and Kagami, heading home.

"That's what you wanted all along, right?" Kagami's anger went away as she saw Adrien like that, lost, regretful with no sparkle in his eyes.

"No... I never meant hurt you three... I'm sorry..." He snapped his fingers bringing everyone back and freed his red moon from reality with a heavy heart.

Kagami took Adrien home and Felix followed after you with a big apology in mind.
