Nyan-binary (part 1?)
A/n: this is more of an Adrien centric one, but I can do a part 2 w Luka finding out if y'all want. I just wanted to mess with the whole suit changing to fit the holder thing.
For the longest time Adrien didn't exactly know why there was always an uncomfortable feeling lingering over them. Especially when forced to model super masculine looks by his dad, but eventually after Gabriel finally let his child enter the real world and go to school, things started making sense.
While Adrien was aware that LGBT people existed as a child, they weren't really exposed to it. But entering school, it turned out lots of people fell under that category. Rose and Jueleka were dating, so we're Marc and Nathaniel. Luka was always making bi jokes when he saw pretty boys and eventually as his friends taught him more, things started to make sense.
That uncomfortable feeling was dysphoria. Adrien didn't like being a boy, but they weren't really a girl either. While a good skirt and feminine kick to an outfit was fun, the full girl identity wasn't their thing. And it all stated to make sense.
Non binary. They were non binary, a they/them if you will. A bit of a girl, a bit of a boy but not either one in full.
Realising that gave Adrien a lot to think about. Should they change their name? What pronouns fit best? Should they get any medical procedures done? They weren't sure yet, but they were 100% sure that they were non binary.
Although, they hadn't told anyone yet. They were scared of it getting back to his father somehow, as they were sure that Gabriel wouldn't take it well. But there was one person... cat... that they couldn't hide it from. And that was Plagg. Plagg knew pretty much the second Adrien had figured it out, and since he was a kwami who didn't really care for the very human concept of gender, he was totally 100% behind Adrien and their identity.
Being the only one who knew, it meant he was the one that heard all Adrien's ramblings.
"Maybe I could... hmm... wear makeup? I mean I already do for modelling so father probably wouldn't think much of it" Adrien muttered, looking in the mirror at their appearance and pondering what to do.
"Don't ask me kid, I don't know anything about makeup" Plagg replied, taking a bite of the cheese he'd been snacking on.
"You're not much help aren't you?"
"Not really. I'm just here to listen to you ramble"
Adrien playfully rolled their eyes and turned back to the mirror, looking themselves up and down thinking about all the possibilities. What would make them the right amount of androgynous they wanted? Maybe they could wear more skirts? Or get longer hair?
"If you don't knew for sure, you can always transform into Cat Noir" Plagg said.
"What does being Cat Noir have to do with me being trans?" Adrien replied.
"The suit changes to fit the holder remember? It's what you want deep down inside so if you transform it'll change to fit your gender now you've come out to yourself"
Adrien lit up, they totally forgot about that! There hadn't been an akuma since they came out to themselves so they hadn't seen what the suit changed to. And all his deep desires would show up in the new appearance and make it obvious to them what they should do with their civilian appearance too.
"Plagg you're a genius! Claws out!" Adrien smiled.
"Wait let me finish this cheeeessee! Plagg tried to exclaim before being sucked into the ring.
Starting with the cat ears, the suit appeared on their body as they transformed and when the flash of green light died down, it revealed the new, gender accurate, Cat Noir.
Adrien lit up with a smile, taking in the new appearance. Long hair down to the shoulders with the sides tied back into a small ponytail, the collar of the suit was more low cut and feminine with a choker resembling a cat collar where the bell sat. The gloves stayed the same, but has glowing green claws like nail polish. The boots were now thigh high and slightly platformed with green around the base of the shoe. The tail stayed the same iconic belt tail with baton fastened on the back. The mask was slightly slimmer, in a more feminine shape. There was a 50-50 balance of feminine and masculine, and it was exactly what Adrien had been looking for.
"My hair! And look at my claws!" They smiled, looking in the reflection of the mirror.
Lifting up their foot, they checked the bottom of the boots.
"Oh good, my paws are still there"
Now THIS was gender euphoria. The perfect depiction of androgyny, exactly what Adrien wanted. The happy daze was snapped when a beep could be heard from the baton on their back, indicating the phone function had a message. Picking it up and sliding the screen up, they read it.
Ladybug: I'm patrolling tonight, if you're not busy meet up with me. Just taking the usual route :)
In their excitement, they'd totally forgotten Ladybug had zero clue about Cat Noir being anything but cis, and leapt out the window wanting to show off the new suit. It didn't take long for Cat to jump from the rooftops along the usual route to find Ladybug atop one of the buildings by the city centre.
"BUG!" They called out.
Ladybug turned to face them, as they landed on the roof with her.
"Cat! Oh?" She replied, noticing the new look.
"Look! My suit changed! I have long hair and my claws glow! And I still have my paws on my shoes AND I have a little collar now!" Cat Noir rambled excitedly.
"Woah, calm down kitty! One word at a time! Let me see"
Circling the cat and taking a look from all angles at the new suit, she was thoroughly impressed with the upgrade being fashion perfection. Everything pulled together and complimented each other, the green and black combination was a good balance and the hairstyle with the cat ears added a pop of cute to the otherwise almost gothic look.
"It looks great! But... why the change? What happened?" Ladybug asked.
It suddenly came back to Cat that they weren't even out yet, and they froze up in internal panic.
"O-oh! Well... I mean... it's just-" they stammered.
"The suits change to fit the holders needs right? Something happen to trigger the change recently?" She asked.
"Um..."
Would she take it well? Surely she would she's ladybug. The superhero of pairs must support all people regardless of gender right? Plus, even if they'd made it clear their relationship was purely work partners, they were still friendly with each other and trusted each other. So, maybe it wouldn't hurt to tell her?
"It's just uh... I figured something out recently" Cat began, nervously.
"Yeah? That I'm a cooler superhero than you?" She joked.
"Ha! No way, I'm the coolest cat there is and we both know that" he joked back.
"Sure, sure kitty. But seriously what's up?"
They were nervous, but had the feeling deep down that ladybug would be fine with it. So, they just spat it out.
"I'm not a boy... or a girl for that matter. that's why"
Ladybug was silent a second, taking the sudden coming out in. And quickly, she put two and two together.
"Ohhh! That's why the suit is so androgynous then. The longer hair and claw polish contrast the belt and cuffs really well" she said.
"You think so?" Cat asked.
"Yeah, there's a balance of feminine and masculine, more feminine on top and more masculine on the bottom, a good 50-50"
"You know your fashion don't you?"
"I may know a few things"
Cat was relieved she didn't mind, and took the coming out well. The tenseness in their shoulders left them and they sighed in relief.
"Don't worry about it Cat, I've always got your back. Boy, girl or neither... or both! And I'm sure the rest of Paris won't mind either. They all love you anyway" Ladybug assured.
"I think they love you more than me" Cat snickered.
"Bullshit, they love us equally. We just have different demographics. I have all the little girls looking up to me and you have the gays and the theys"
That did have some truth to it, all the heroes has noticed Cat seemed to attract the likings of bisexuals in particular. It was probably the puns that hooked them.
"Plus, lot's of kids look up to us. So you'll be good representation for queer kids. They'll see you being non binary AND a superhero and understand they can do great things and be queer too" she added.
Cat hadn't thought about that, but it made them want to stand on the top of the Eiffel Tower with a pride flag and scream trans rights at the top of their lungs. If they were going to be out to the public, they sure as hell would make sure to be a good representation and educate all the kids that looked up to them.
"You know what else I could do?" Cat began.
"What?"
"Next time a villain attacks me I'm just going to say 'if you hit me you're transphobic' and watch them freak out"
Ladybug snickered, totally seeing that as something cat would do.
"I think some of the villains wouldn't even care and try to hit you anyway" she laughed.
"Then the ladyblog with cancel them so problem solved" Cat joked.
The two snickered at the dumb humour, and when their laughter died down, Ladybug gave Cat a smile.
"The city is going to love your suit cat, I just know it" she assured.
"You know what? Yeah. They will. And if they don't-" cat replied.
"They're transphobic?"
"Exactly"
