Ladybug: How petty can you get?

Chat Noir: I edited a Wikipedia article to win an argument I was wrong about.
•••••

Everyone knows Adrien Agreste likes Passionfruit.

Everyone knows Adrien Agreste is blonde.

Everyone knows Adrien Agreste is 'the perfect son'.

What everyone doesn't know is that Adrien Agreste is Chat Noir, and sometimes his sneaky side appears to change things to suit himself.

For example, Nino thinks Chat Noir's favourite colour is green, his favourite power up is his ice form, and that he is madly in love with Ladybug, and he's not wrong. Where did he find out this information? On Wikipedia, of course.

But everyone knows Wikipedia can be easily manipulated, right? So when Nino made a bet with Adrien regarding zebras, there was no chance of him losing. After all, he could just change what he needed to and move one.

"Did you know zebras are black with white stripes? I always thought it was the other way around."

The two heroes sat on their usual rooftop munching on the croissants Ladybug had brought with her.

"Huh?" Her eyes caught his and he shrugged.

"I had a bet with a friend at school about it, I really thought I was right." Adrien continued, swallowing down his third croissant.

"I've never really thought about it before," she responded, picking up a croissant and playing with it between her hands, "so they're actually black?"

"Yup, completely. The stripes that they form are species-specific patterns."

"That's actually really interesting. So, what have you lost in the bet?" She asked.

His smirk lit up the night, oh how sweet and honourable his lady was.

"Who said I lost?" He wiggled his eyebrows at her. "There was no way I was losing to this guy again, it would be the twelfth time in a row."

Ladybug snorted at him, taking another bite of her croissant.

"How petty can you get?"

"Well, if you must know my ladybug, I edited the Wikipedia article to win."

She stared at him wide eyed, croissant falling from her mouth in the most unattractive way.

Oh yes, she didn't know how petty he could actually be.

The next morning at school Adrien walked up to Nino with a smug look on his face, phone in hand.

"Read it and weep," Adrien said as Nino scanned the article.

"No way, I know I'm right, this can't be happening."

His fingers flicked the page on the phone up and down before he turned to the girls and looked at them both, facial expressions begging for help.

"What's wrong Nino?" Alya asked, Adrien made his way to his seat, sometimes victory was too sweet.

"Zebras? Black on white, or white on black?"

"White on black." Both girls responded.

Nino shook his head and placed the phone in front of them.

"Not according to Wikipedia."

Marinette looked at the phone before looking at the smug look on Adrien's face. There was no way? Was there?

"What? Why are you looking at that?"

Adrien noticed a flicker of something in Marinette's eyes. Shock? Horror? Unbelief?

"Me and my dude were arguing yesterday so we made a bet." Nino explained.

"A - a bet?"

Adrien met Marinette's eyes and a course of panic spread through him. No way! No freaking way!

"Yeah, he was so sure they were white with black stripes."

Marinette's eyes narrowed, causing Adrien to gulp. Oh no!

"Did you know you can change Wikipedia? You can edit it yourself, and add additional information." Marinette explained to Nino, "my friend told me last night. He said he'd done it himself once, you know, to win a bet."

Marinette fluttered her eyelashes at Adrien. Oh he was dead! She took the phone and refreshed it. It seemed someone had gone on and edited the information back to what it was.

"You cheat." Nino shouted, "smart move, bro, but now you owe me."

Before the girls could hear what the deal was, Ms. Bustier had called the class to attention and began her lesson. Not that Marinette learnt much considering the curiosity utterly consuming her.

"I hate you, you know." Chat plonked himself down next to Ladybug.

"I love you too, Chaton."

"Don't play nice now! You know what you did, Marinette." She looked at him as he dropped his transformation, then burst out laughing. It was clear now what the bet was.

"What is wrong with your eyebrows? Your father's going to kill you." She responded.

"It's your fault."

"I don't think so, Kitty, this one is all on you, you cheat." He shuffled himself closer to her, eyebrows no longer blonde but a dark shade of brown. "I'm not dating you until they're back to normal."

"Dating? You think I want to date you after the stunt you pulled?" His face twisted into such a pained expression causing her to burst out in laughter again.

"I'm sorry, Adrien." She looped her arm through his and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah, whatever." He attempted to play mad at her only to burst out laughing himself. "Does it look as bad as I think it does?"

"Probably worse."

He shook his head before resting it on top of hers.

"So, a date? Uh? At least I finally won something."

They both laugh again, looking out into the night and wondering what Gabriel Agreste would find as a suitable punishment for his now brown 'browed' son, but it was certain that Adrien Agreste would never mess with Wikipedia again, unless it was to update Chat Noir and Ladybug's relationship status, that is. He'd deal with those repercussions all in due time.
