Chapter Text
The city of paris was relatively quiet, a winter breeze making sure everyone knew; winter is here. not many were out in this weather, our hero starts as the one person, in this cold, who decided it was a good idea to leave the house-, a huge pigeon-tank almost ran over our hero but they jumped away.-well ladybug and chat noir were out, rena not far behind them. snow is something Paris was experiencing this week (sorry I don't know shit about the weather in France or geography).
our hero walked towards the best bakery in paris acting like this was normal, maybe it was maybe they just couldn't react.
a little bell rang as the door opened,"he-hello..." our hero mumbled, they smiled at them, "the usual?" they nodded. after our hero left to who-knows-where (i don't want to try and remember where to put an apartment.) Sabin and Tom moved to whispers "everyday, at an akuma attack, i wish it was a coincidence"tom had his suspicions “doesn't it bother you more why someone this young would leave in this weather? it's freezing." Our hero was known as the neutral shadow, because all people knew about them was that they were non-biney. "They seem 16, maybe 17 if we're really pushing it." in fact they were 17 and in fact, that was ladybug and chat noir's age. (rena and carapace are 18 (; )
Our hero entered an apartment building not far from the famous paris high-school-college, "im home!" The hero said as they opened the door, nino was looking at the tv sitting on a light brown almost orange couch "hey pal, alya is out, she'll be back in a bit." our hero sat on the couch munching on a chocolate-chip cookie. "mmffmmpp" they said as they shoved the entire cookie into their mouth, "huh?" nino understood by our heros body language that they wanted to say something, our hero chewed for a bit more then swallows, "thanks for allowing me to be your apartment-mate."
"no problem pal!" Nino was pretty happy he met little frost-cat, they gave so much chaos that he didn't know he needed into his life. (not the kind of chaos that you run into battle or drama, just game chaos and friendly pranks.( a rena mug incident is something i will never forget to add somewhere.) "so how are you dealing with the hole... disowned thing?" that took our hero by surprise,"i- im-... it's hard but what can you do?'' Nino looked at them skeptically. "as ladybug once said; less depresso more espresso!" Our heros face was hidden by their short brown hair "but you run away from coffee like it's the plague, if id ever see you drink coffee i'd be surprised." our hero smiled and moved a bit of hair out of their face,"not my fault it sounds terrifying-" the tv cut the conversation short 'another win against hawkmoth! and no major damage.' nino turned the tv off. "I want a miraculous, I want the power to go out there and help and stay anonymous. I just want a little power to help.".
"it's a good thing ladybug and I know each other professionally!" Alya opened the door suddenly. "ALYA!!!" our hero shouted "how are my little roommates doing?"she asked teasingly, "i'm good, mom " they replied. "you did not just..." nino said, at this point he should have expected this. "i'm the shortest and you already call me 'our kid' so?" our hero is good. "you're like, a meater and a half, i can't just become shorter."alya said "so, alley, what are we naming a fox today?" "what do you think about... willow?" nino sighed "i think our minecraft world is gonna stop working if we continue..." our hero could not let their 149 animals get stuck behind a code "then i'll upgrade our computer... so, is it shiny hunting day yet?" Nino and Alya sighed, shiny hunting was not something they enjoyed, their luck was awful. "tomorrow."Alya decided.
------------------
"another day another akuma. why can't we get a break?" ladybug sighed, "don't worry m'lady, we'll cat ch hawkmoth soon." chat said, ladybug looked at the time on her yoyo "i got to go, bug out!" and she swung away.
------------------
an akuma ran towards me *at least you tried.* Maybe I didn't want to die but sometimes it was unstoppable- ladybug grabbed me and pulled me out of the way, then jumping back into battle, Mr.pigeon was really annoying. i hid behind a dumpster in an alleyway. and put my hands in my hoodie's pocket, i felt something smooth and sound *a rock?* I took it out, it was a blue oval stone with a black paw print in it, A small flying creature flew out."hello kitten, im cllaw, your kuami"it said. Naturally, I punched it out of the air. "nice punch there."I took a sharp inhale. "What is a kuami and what do you want?" I bent down to the floor since I did knida punch him-it-they- out of the air."a kuami is what gives you your powers, and all I want is some food and love." it stared at me."strong, fast, smart and a bit of confidence, looks like i have a good holder this time. put the miraculous anywhere that is close to you, a pocket or sleeve, then when you're ready to join ladybug say tail out." The last part surprised me. "this rock is a miraculous?" i took a closer looks at it,"miraculous of the mind in fact, say mind hail to call it, it will summon something the might help at that moment, it's also dependent on your mental health." it was a lot of information, so i just waited the akuma out, *not today.* and i walked home.
