The whole time travel thing the miraculous could do was tricky, that's why only one miraculous has the power. And whoever held the bunny had to be a very careful person. Bunnyx wouldn't reveal things from the future unless it was an emergency caused by an akuma with time powers or something of the sort. Because messing with time was a massive risk, creating alternate timelines and devastating effects if handled badly. But there was something she was willing to allow, a letter exchange.

In order to assure the still young heroes that things would eventually work out, so that their morale would stay high and strong leading to their success in battles, she let them write a letter to their future self, asking questions they wanted the answers to. She's not read them, no one would, only the heroes future self. It could be as personal as they wished, because only they'd be reading them again in the future.

Cat Noir took that chance to ask his future self some deeply personal and burning questions he had. Hoping to the gods that he eventually would escape his fathers wrath and things would indeed get better. So now he'd gotten the reply, he sat at the end of his bed a little scared to open the folded paper. What if everything gets worse? What would he do then? Could he change things now so the future wouldn't be so grim? The only thing he could do was read and find out. And so, he unfolded the paper.

Hey past me,

First of all, stop worrying. You're fine.

That immediately gave Adrien a sigh of relief. Looks like future him remembered how nerve wrecking this whole situation was.

Some of the questions I can't answer for timeline reasons, you know, not fucking up the past and and all. But I can assure you, things do work out. The next few years will be hard, I won't sugar coat that, prepare yourself for some betrayal and heartbreak. But don't stress it, because when it's over, we'll never have to face anything like that ever again. We do hit rock bottom I'm afraid, but the only way to go from there is up. And we finally get some major closure, massive improvements and a life worth living. Just stick it out, hold on, you can do this little me. I mean clearly you can if I'm even writing this right?

If there's one thing I can tell you to do now, it's get closer to Luka. He's going to be our rock, our biggest supporter. That man is a ride or die, the most amazing person to ever be blessed with the presence of. Hold onto him, don't let go.

Luka huh? Well... he was a good friend already, and he was a super supportive person, Adrien thought upon reading that section. It made sense he'd be the one who supports Adrien through whatever this bad patch is going to be. Clearly whatever happened, Luka did so amazing at helping out that future him was making damn sure that past him wouldn't even dare try and push Luka away, or let him go.

As for Ladybug, no we don't end up anything other than friends. But that's for the best, actually. You'll get over her, because we end up with someone a million times better. The fact of the matter is, us and bug? We're just not compatible, we have similarities yes but we're very very different people. Also she likes girls, and yes she said I can tell you that because she's about to figure that out in your timeline anyway. Be there for her ok?

The person we end up with is... amazing. The most beautiful person you'll ever lay eyes on with the kindest soul and the brightest smile. Multitalented, amazing family, INCREDIBLE voice and between you and me, REALLY good in bed haha ;)

TLDR: things will get better. It'll be hard for a while, but stick it out. You're getting out of that house, Nathalie will be ok, we'll be seeing someone we miss in a while. And thanks to people like Luka were never going to have to experience all that bullshit again. And don't be sad about bug, we're still friends. Love is weird, it can be hard to navigate when all these secret identities are involved but remember your future partner is going to be SO worth the wait. He'll absolutely rock your world kitty cat.

Love, future you.

That was... an experience. There was a lot of emotion, mostly relief. But the knowledge something messy was going to happen soon, did make Adrien rather nervous. The advice his future self gave made it very clear though, just hold on. As long as he stuck it out, just powered through it, everything would get better. Like seeing the sun again after a long, dark storm. He just had to be patient, and stay strong. And it was nice to know Luka would be there for him through it all. Clearly the role he played was important of if future him was mentioning Luka by name.

Bummer about ladybug though, or... maybe not. Maybe it was for the best he let ladybug go, especially if she didn't even like boys as it was anyway. He'd support that, it's not like she could control that. And hey it sound like future him is SUPER in love with this new- wait a minute, he?

Adrien read the last sentence again.

He'll absolutely rock your world.

HE?! as in he/him? As in identifies as a boy? As in A MAN?! As in... QUEER?

Well... actually no now that he thought about it, not that surprising. Guess all those nights lying awake thinking 'am I? paid off, because apparently yes, he was. And eventually would end up with a man. Interesting, now he was curious who it could be.

Someone that was beautiful, kind, multitalented, had a cool family, a bright smile and was apparently a really good fuck. Future him must be... very comfortable with his sexuality to add that part.

Future him must've been writing that letter and snicking to himself, knowing that past him would be wondering who this man is. Not knowing that the boy about to rock his world, was so so much closer than he thought.
