Felix thought about telling you about his encounter with psycho Lila. But he changed his mind knowing that he would have to say the nonsense she said and he was ashamed to know that it was all true. Ironic...

He didn't realize how important you were until you moved away in middle school, he eventually missed the arguments and disputes between you, you never had a common friendship. You were an annoying challenge and he loved that.

He was delighted when he saw you for the first time after moving to Paris. Longing was not enough to describe what he felt, he just wanted to be there by your side and hoped deep in his heart that you felt the same.

When Lila started blackmailing her, you got depressed and vented everything to him. He couldn't bear to see you like that, he wanted to help you be happy again even if it cost him his broken heart.

Even if everything Lila said about him was true, he wouldn't risk your happiness for anything, he just swallowed all his feelings for you. One day eventually he would get over you, right? He kept that in mind.

✷✷✷

Felix noticed that you were a little pensive these days, he always caught you distracted and sometimes you lost focus during a conversation.

"Hey (Y /n)... You're doing it again." He snapped his fingers in front of your face waking you from your thoughts.

"Oh, excuse me. What are you saying?" You scratched your head laughing in embarrassment.

"Tell me, what are you worried about? You've been distracted for a few days, and you don't even tell me it's the exams because the exam days are over." Felix asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing! Seriously, everything's normal." Felix looked at you unconvinced, forcing you to speak the truth with just his gaze, but you changed the subject.

"Wow, I'm hungry... Let's eat soon." You sped up to the canteen, leaving Felix behind.

She can't even fake it right...

Felix sighed and went to follow you but Lila suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started to walk side by side with him.

"What the hell are you..." Lila cut him off. "So you don't even know all your precious little thing's secrets?" Felix stopped walking and looked around making sure no one was around.

"Listening to other people's conversations? You urgently need a psychologist. Your obsession with (Y/n) is not normal. Just leave her alone!" Felix said irritably.

"Calm down, I'm not planning anything against her, I just want you to see... (Y /n) doesn't even trust you to tell her secrets, have you ever wondered how she managed to delete all the evidence I had against her?" Felix was silent thinking, he thought that story of a 'charming friend' very suspicious but as it worked out he didn't give more importance to this matter.

"There are so many things she must hide from you... Can you sleep at night knowing that you don't mean to her the same as she means to you?" Lila touched him right on the wound and left leaving Felix angry and apprehensive but he was good at hiding it it in their apathetic expressions.

Felix was very angry now, even though he was defensive, he was emotionally influenced by Lila.

✷✷✷

"What took you so long?" (Y/n) asked nibbling her apple when Felix sat next to her putting the tray on the table.

"Annoying girls surrounding." He answered sullenly as you giggled.

"Why don't you give one of these girls a chance? Maybe you meet someone nice. A double date would be nice." You gave his arm a friendly poke.

"It would be a waste of time." He sighed, unable to get what Lila said out of his mind.

"I was thinking... Could you introduce me to that friend of yours who managed to steal Lila's evidence. He must be quite skilled." Felix suggested suddenly, you almost choked on a piece of the apple.

"I don't think it's going to work... He's not in town anymore, I haven't seen him for a while." You replied looking away. Felix continued questioning and it was noticeable your discomfort and attempts to change the subject.

"Why are you lying to me? You've been very distracted these days, no matter how much you pretend everything is fine, it's clear that something is wrong. What on Earth do I have to do for you to trust me?" Felix looked away listlessly, but deep down he was uneasy and hurt that you didn't trust him.

"None of that. Of course I trust you! But... I... Damn there's no way I can explain this without sounding like I go crazy." You stuttered trying to find the right words.

"If it's any consolation I've thought you are crazy since junior high." He shrugged looking at you seriously waiting for you to tell.

"It's just that if I tell someone this secret, I might change the natural flow of the story, it might even be the end of the world... I really can't tell you, I've seen things I shouldn't have seen..." You whispered while looking around making sure no one was watching.

"Okay... You really do look like a crazy person but it wouldn't be you if there weren't problems that were impossible to solve." Felix smiled genuinely and his heart almost melted to manage get a small smile out of you.

He kept talking. "I don't want to brag but with my help your problems can become possible to solve." Felix smirked.

Your smile grew even wider and you thought long and hard before agreeing to tell him everything after school.

✷✷✷

As soon as school ended (Y/n) took Felix home and into her room to tell him the whole truth, starting with her little Kwami Luppus.

"So this is your handsome friend? I have to admit, I'm impressed." Felix smirks amused but soon asked some questions about how everything worked.

"Are you sure you're going to tell him about the alternate future? He doesn't look like an idiot but you know that changing the natural flow of history can be catastrophic right?" Luppus warned you one last time making you apprehensive again

"(Y/n), if this really could be the end of the world, just tell me without giving me the details, can you do it?" Felix asked tranquility looking from Luppus to you. You noded.

"I'm feeling guilty because I know Hawk Moth's secret identity and I can't tell because I shouldn't know, I saw it in an alternate timeline and according to Luppus it's going to disrupt the flow of this story. I could just tell them and take this weight off of Ladybug and Chat Noir but I can't, I'm going to live lying until they catch him on his own merits." You tried to summarize and avoided the details.

"Gabriel Agreste, it's him isn't it?" Luppus and you were stunned by Felix's answer.

"He's definitely not dumb, I like him." Luppus laughs.

"Okay now you're starting to scare me Felix, how do you know?" You asked still perplexed looking at him curiously.

"Just a theory that's have been on my mind. My uncle is a man full of secrets within the family, he doesn't show himself publicly and is a powerful person. Most likely suspect. And he's got stuff that belongs to me... I've been trying to keep an eye on him but he is very careful." Felix looked away to hide his angry expression.

"He's brilliant... Can I have him?" Luppus whispered in your ear making you giggle, feeling a little lighter after days.

"What do we do then Felix? Should we tell Ladybug soon?" You asked.

"Don't worry about it, innocent little girl. I'll take care of it for you, can you imagine my uncle's face when I expose all his secrets? I'm going to free my foolish little cousin from his father's tyranny." Felix chuckled smugly running a hand through his hair in a way that was a little frightening, you caught a brief glimpse of a dangerous glint in his green eyes. Maybe it was just your imagination.

"Don't even try to leave me out, let's do whatever you're thinking of exposing him, together." You warned crossing your arms.

"I'm sure you won't agree with my methods. You're out." Felix walked out of the room ignoring your protests.

Luppus floated behind the two of you watching the scene curiously while thinks with himself.

I have a feeling that bad things are going to happen...
