˚ºThree Months Laterº˚

Emma smirked down at a sleeping Dustin, his chest evenly rising and falling as he slept in his bed. It took so long for them to get another sleepover, but they got one. They started dating two months ago, they didn't tell either family. They knew how they would react. She gently kissed his forehead and jumped out of his window. She hacked into the camera, walked inside so the alarm would go off and quickly killed his parents.

She ran back to Dustins room and crawled into his bed, lying next to him and redoing the hack. Police sirens sounded from the streets, waking the children up. Police came running in and found them all. Emma's face was flushed, Plagg meeting her eyes then glaring at Dustin. She made sure not to get any blood on herself, but made it look as if her parents had did it. Stealing a lot of jewelry and money from the months she had just visited.

Plagg walked into his room as Tikki ran past, Sophie crying in her arms while another officer took Jake outside. He glared at the two, Emma blushing bright red as Dustin held her hand under the sheets. Plaggs walkie talkie went off by his ear and he nodded and sighed. "Dustin," he looked up at Plagg. "You're parents passed a few minutes ago," tears poured from his eyes, even though they meant nothing. He hated his parents. Emma wrapped her arms around him, her embrace being all he needed. Plaggs walkie talkie sounded again. His eyes widened and darted to Emma. "Other officers believe it is Ladybug and Chat Noir."

Dustin looked over at Emma. Her plan had worked but she kept a straight face. He studied her, reading her energy. "Why would your parents do this? I thought they died!" He knew she did it.

"I-I don't know," Emma's lips trembled. "I thought they died too. Clearly not."

˚ºThree Weeks Laterº˚

Dustin waited outside of the private school as the bell chimed. Since his parents died, they denied him entrance and since he had enough education to last him until college, he didn't mind, but, Jake disowned Dustin so he lived on the streets. Jake was old enough to live on his own but took care of Sophie. Emma walked with Dustin when she saw him, holding his hand as they walked down the street.

"Find a job yet?" Emma asked, her voice soft. He shook his head. He didn't speak much. "You know, you can live with us. We'll take care of you Dustin. You don't have to live on the streets." They walked down the street, taking a turn and walking towards the bakery.

"I know you just want to help me but I'm fine Emma," he faced her. "I was fine with my parents tough love."

"Beating you want tough love. It was child abuse," they went silent. She bit her lip. "I know it means nothing to you right now, but I'm sorry." She wasn't.

"I know," Dustin licked the lip ring he got before they died. "Do you really think you were helping me?"

"I do," they walked into the bakery. Marin smiled sweetly and hugged both of them, leading them up to the top part of the bakery Emma stayed in sometimes. Marin had a big house he lived in with Annabella but he kept that part as a house. They sat on the couch while Marin returned downstairs. Dustin dug his head into the crook of Emmas neck as he gently held her waist. "You can live here and-"

"Fine," he gently kissed her shoulder. "I'll live with you." She smiled and played with his hair.
