En écoutant des collégiennes discuter, Madame Rossi découvre le LadyBlog et les mensonges de sa fille.
Le premier chapitre peint une image peu avenante de Madame Rossi. J’ai vraiment eu envie de la frapper et de fermer la fic par la même occasion.
La suite est beaucoup plus sympa même s’il y a beaucoup de lieux communs. J’ai surtout aimé qu’au moment de prendre partie entre Marinette et Lila, Alya défende sa meilleure amie. J’ai aussi bien aimé l’akuma, qui est une fusion entre Lila et sa mère qui ont des buts très différents.
Au final, ce n’est pas la fic de l’année mais j’ai pris plaisir à la lire.
Chloé knows
AO3
Cat Noir lands with a soft thud on the floor of his room, ending his transformation soon after.
“Ah, I'm exhausted. This akuma made me very hungry.” Said Plagg throwing himself dramatically on the couch.
“You’re always hungry.” Adrien complained handing him a piece of his stinky cheese. "But you're right. This attack was very hard. Ladybug had to leave in a hurry ...” the ringing of his cell phone interrupted him “Hi Chloe ... I can’t understand you, speak slower ... I'm at home ... of course ... I’ll wait for you.” He hung up the phone with a frown.
“What did she want?”
“To know if I'm home. She's coming here, something's happened. She was very nervous.” The bell rung surprising Adrien “Is she already here? Hide Plagg.”
Said kwami did not have to be told twice. Adrien left the room and found Chloe half way up the stairs.
“Adrien!” She exclaimed as she climbed the rest of the staircase, shaken and pale, as if she had seen a ghost. "Let's go to your room.”
"Calm down, Clo," Adrien tried to reassure her touching her shoulder gently. "You're too nervous. Do you want some tea, something to relax you?”
“I want to talk to you, let’s go.” She took him by the hand, practically dragging him into his bedroom and closed the door behind her.
“What is going on? You’re scarring me.”
“Ladybug. I saw Ladybug detransform. I can’t believe that it was her this whole time. Of all people.” Chloe put her hands on her head, the agitation taking over as she paced the room.
Adrien was paralyzed, Chloe knew who Ladybug was, apparently a girl that she already knew. He was about to find out who the girl he loved so much was. Ladybug couldn’t blame him, he wasn’t searching the information. Chloe was just there to tell him. Panic washed over Adrien. Had she told someone already? Sabrina? Most likely. He had to make sure she wouldn’t tell anyone else.
“To whom have you told about it?”
“No one. Sabrina didn’t answer the phone. So I came straight here. Why?” Chloe asked confused.
“You can’t tell anyone else. It's very dangerous. Everyone who knows can become Hawkmoth's target and if he finds out who Ladybug is, all the people close to her will also be a target. That is why identities need to be secret.”
Chloe looked at him confused and fearful. Adrien would fit into both categories.
“I won’t tell and you will not tell anyone that I know.”
“Of course not. You know her then?” He asked when he realized she hadn’t yet told who the girl behind the mask was.
“I’ve known her for a long time.” She sighed with resignation. "Of all the people I know, I never imagined it would be her. It had to be her.” She snorted, slamming her foot hard on the floor like a spoiled child. "But as much as it hurts me, I have to admit that it does make sense.” Chloe approached the glass wall and gazed at the horizon “She was always the favorite, the one that everyone loves without even trying, always doing everything right, the first to offer help and now ... she is Ladybug. I don’t even know if it's anger what I feel ... it’s just that ... why does she have to be so perfect while I’m ...” She trailed off lowering her head, fighting to hold back the tears.
Adrien, who had been in the clouds while he heard Chloe say how wonderful Ladybug was, felt his heart twist at the sight of his friend in such a state. He had never seen Chloe so crestfallen. He got closer to her and touched her arm.
“Hey! Look at me.” She obeyed reluctantly “You are amazing too, Chloe.”
“Don’t say nonsense, Adrien. I know everyone hates me. All I can get is because of my father's position and his money. No one really likes me. I dare say neither Sabrina.”
“I like you.” He stated. "We've been friends since we were small kids. And the others can like you too. You just need to let them see how nice you can be. Maybe if you stop taking advantage of your father's position things will get better. And stop picking on people for anything. I bet if you change, even Marinette might like you.”
Chloe's eyes sparkled.
“Do you think so?” He nodded firmly. "I'll make a list of everything I need to do to be a better person. Maybe follow the example of the girl behind Ladybug’s mask. Not that I'm going to copy her, of course. I have my style.”
“Speaking of Ladybug. Aren’t you going to tell me who she is?” Darn, now he could not say that he had not gone after the information.
"Adrien, my dear, you said yourself that anyone who knows is in danger and I don’t want to put you at risk. In fact, you are already at risk even without knowing who she is.” She said heading for the door “See you tomorrow at school.” She left and closed the door behind her.
"I can’t believe she didn’t tell me.” Adrien whined when Plagg appeared in his line of sight.
“At least now you know that Ladybug is amazing behind the mask too.” Said Plagg.
"Chloe just confirmed what I already knew.” Adrien noticed Plagg hurrying to hide and turned to see the door being opened.
"I just feel sorry for that alley cat," Chloe said sticking her head inside the room. "He doesn’t stand a chance with Ladybug.”
“Why do you say that?” Adrien tried to hide his disappointment.
“He is no match for you, dear.” She winked at him.
“Ladybug likes me?” The surprise showed on his face.
“Why do you think I said that you are already at risk? She's head over heels for you.” She gave him a mischievous grin and closed the door again.
"Plagg, that means I'm the boy that Ladybug mentioned. I was jealous of myself.” He said, staring at the closed door.
“Yeah. And that was hilarious.” Said Plagg laughing.
“Did you know? And didn’t tell me.”
“I know who she is, did you forget? And I can’t give you this kind of information.”
“Now you both know and I don’t. Argh!”
Adrien threw himself on the bed in frustration, but the smile soon appeared on his face. Ladybug liked him, there was no other guy. He just needed to be patient.
