AO3
Multimouse’s lips twisted to the side as she scurried through the streets of Paris. She was still at full size and was looking for the akuma that she had just fought against. Chat had yet to arrive and she had already used her Lucky Charm as Ladybug, only to determine that she needed another miraculous from her bedroom at home. When she managed to escape the overpowered akuma, the designer quickly realized that she needed Mullo’s powers. However, she was still hesitant to trust anyone else with a miraculous after their last battle with Hawkmoth. Reluctantly, she tucked her earrings into her purse, promising Tikki that she wouldn’t be gone for long. Though her kwami had frowned at her in disapproval, she allowed Marinette to put on the Mouse Miraculous, ducking back further into the purse as the girl transformed into Multimouse.
This led her to where she was now, rushing down the rather empty streets as she searched for where she had last left the akuma. Unfortunately, lost in scanning the area for the akuma as she was she didn’t notice the blonde boy running towards her. The two collided and Multimouse let out a small squeak of shock as she landed on someone’s chest.
“I’m so so sorry,” the superheroine scrambled to get up, before she frowned, “Wait, what are you do-,” her voice stopped mid-way through her reprimand as she looked down at a flushed, disoriented Adrien Agreste.
“Ladybug?” he gazed up at her rather hazily.
“Oh, ah, um,” she nibbled her lip, tapping her fingers together anxiously, “Ah, no! I’m actually err, Multimouse,” she tried for a pose, her arms flailing wildly as she gave him a wide smile.
His green eyes squinted at her rather blearily, “Huh, I’d have sworn you were Ladybug. Has anyone ever told you that you guys look very similar?”
“Uh yes, I mean no...,” Multimouse shook her head forcefully, trying to shake off her usual Adrien daze and get back into her superheroine mindset. She leaned down, holding out a hand for the boy. He took it gratefully and she helped him up before his legs buckled underneath him and he fell rather ungracefully into her arms, “Adrien! Are you alright?!”
“Y-yeah, I’m fine,” he lifted his head up, giving her a rather shaky grin.
Her frown deepened and she placed a gloved hand on his forehead only to hiss in shock when the heat coming from it managed to seep through the material. Multimouse carefully picked Adrien up, ignoring the flush entering her own cheeks as she looked around them, “You’re burning up! What are you doing outside!? You should be at home, resting!!”
“N-no,” he shivered in her arms, causing her to clutch him tighter to her chest as he tried to push away from her, “I need to help Ladybug, Mar-, Multi.”
She blinked down at him in both shock and confusion. Was he about to say Marinette? And why did he need to help Ladybug? It must be a part of his feverish delusions, the superheroine decided, shaking off any suspicions. Either way, she needed to get him home safe and sound. The akuma could wait. Adrien needed help and fast. Her grip tightened once again before she leaped up onto a rooftop, rushing back the way she came as they took off towards the mansion, “I’m going to get you home, Adrien. I’m certain whatever you need to tell Ladybug can wait.”
“It can’t,” he shook his head stubbornly, “She needs me.”
Ignoring the slight shiver that shot up her spine at his words and the wave of butterflies that ignited in her stomach, Multimouse sped up, determined to get him home before he caused her to trip and fall. Soon, the mansion was in sight and she breathed out a breath of relief as she finally neared their destination. She was stopped, however, by a small thud that came from behind her. Whirling around she spotted the akuma that she had just been searching for her.
“Well, who are you? You’re not Ladybug,” the green-haired akuma said, her finger twirling around the stem that had carried her up to the building. From what the superheroine had gathered from their previous fight, the latest villain had been upset about people’s lack of care for nature and had thus been akumatized into Eden. She gulped quietly, looking down at Adrien who was still shivering in her arms before turning to face Eden who was glaring sharply at her, “No matter. I’m certain once I defeat you, Ladybug will come running back.”
Brushing some of Adrien’s hair back, Multimouse whispered a quiet, “I’m sorry, but please don’t worry. I promise I’ll finish this quickly,” watching the akuma warily, she carefully and protectively set the boy down behind a fireplace.
It was time to act. And quickly too, before Adrien could get even more hurt, “Multitude!” she shouted, leaping around her jump rope as she began shrinking, various copies of her surrounding Eden. The akuma has to be in her flower crown, she thought to herself, climbing up the villain’s legs as she tried to get up high enough to grab it.
“Ew! What are you doing!?” Eden screeched, shaking and brushing herself off causing some of the Multimouse copies to fall off.
Clinging on tighter as she and a few of the other copies reached the girl’s torso, she gulped up at the crown. Luckily, Eden wasn’t able to use her powers, lest she hurt herself, but it was practically impossible to dodge the girl’s waving hands and climb at the same time. How was she going to do this?!
Chat Noir where are you? I really need you right now, she thought desperately, avoiding another one of the girl’s hands.
“Hey! Miss Akuma Lady!” a voice shouted, causing her to let out an involuntary gasp. Adrien had managed to stand up and was waving his hands in an attempt to get the akuma’s attention, “I see you like nature? Well, did you know that I don’t even recycle?”
“What?!” Eden screeched, glaring up at the model and all but ignoring the copies of Multimouse who once again began climbing.
Just a little farther. If Adrien gets hurt I don’t know what I’ll do, the superheroine managed to grip onto the girl’s shoulder.
“Y-yeah a-and I don’t use public transportation. I ride in my limo everywhere,” he backed up as the akuma stalked towards him.
I wonder...
Taking a deep breath, Multimouse jumped, throwing her jump rope up onto the crown as she did so. Luckily, it managed to wrap around one of the flowers and with a harsh tug, she yanked it off the girl’s head, falling down onto the ground below. Feeling her breath leave her in a whoosh, the superheroine barely had time to suck in a gasp of air before the akuma screeched, leaping for her. Scrambling for the crown, she tore it into two, watching as the purple butterfly flew away and Eden’s costume disappeared.
Letting out a quiet curse as she realized that Ladybug couldn’t exactly purify the akuma, Multimouse’s gaze darted over to Adrien who fell rather unceremoniously to the ground. Gasping quietly, she quickly rushed over to the other copies of herself, transforming back into her normal size. Afterwards, she ran over to the sick boy, cradling his head in her lap.
“We make a pretty good team, huh Multimouse?” his eyes cracked open slightly as he gave her a small smirk.
“You could have gotten hurt!” she raged quietly, barely noticing as the akuma began to fly out of sight.
Adrien began to sit up, his eyes widening as he pointed at the purple butterfly, “We need to find Ladybug, though! And quickly before that akuma gets loose!”
Her eyes clenched shut for a second before they flicked back open and she gave him a tight nod, “You’re right!”
Standing up, Multimouse lifted him back into her arms, grabbing onto the stunned, confused girl as well before she swung them off the rooftop using her jump rope. Dropping them off onto the street down below, she gave the recently deakumatized girl a smile, “You should be getting back home now. Your parents are probably worried about you.”
“You’re right,” she gasped, her face paling considerably as she gave the other two a wave as she began running off, “Thank you!”
Turning back to Adrien, she gave the boy a soft look before her voice took on a more commanding tone, “Stay here! I’m going to get Ladybug and then come back and make certain you get home safe, alright?”
He gave her a wobbly smile, “I don’t know if I could move if I tried, Multimouse.”
Multimouse’s brow creased in concern before she looked up in alarm, searching for the missing akuma. Managing to spot it on another nearby rooftop, she gave Adrien a small grin before wrapping her jump rope around the corner of the rooftop, yanking herself up to the top. Looking around for anyone staring up at her, she called off her transformation. As Marinette, she grimaced, looking down at Tikki who blinked up at her in shock, “No time to talk! Sorry! Tikki spots on!”
When the new energy rushed through her and she became Ladybug, the heroine quickly threw her yo-yo towards the escaping akuma, “No more evil-doing for you little akuma! It’s time to de-evilize! Gotcha!” she captured the purple butterfly, waving it away as it floated away in it’s newly purified state, “Bye, bye, little butterfly!”
Letting out a quiet breath of relief, she called off her Ladybug transformation, giving Tikki a thankful smile as she became Marinette once again, “Thank you Tikki!”
“No more doing that, Marinette,” the small kwami frowned, “You look exhausted! It’s not worth it! You’re the guardian now, you need to trust yourself and other people.”
“You’re right, Tikki. I promise to find new holders, alright?” she gave her kwami a small pat on the head, pulling out a cookie from her purse as the kwami nibbled on it. Opening her purse wider for the small, bug-like creature, Marinette watched as Tikki nestled into it. Giving her one more smile, she closed up her purse before saying Mullo’s transformation phrase, “Mullo, get squeaky!”
When she had finally transformed for the third time, Multimouse wobbled slightly, another wave of exhaustion flooding over here. There was no time for that, though. She had to get Adrien home and quickly, before either he or she passed out. Sucking in a deep breath, she stood back up from her hunched-over position, making her way back to the street where she had left Adrien.
“Multimouse! Did you find Ladybug?” he asked when he finally spotted her.
“Yes, I did, thankfully,” the heroine picked him up again and she was totally going to squeal about the number of times she held Adrien when she was home alone, “Now it’s time to get you back home so you can rest!”
“Thank you,” he whispered quietly, his head leaning onto her as his eyes fluttered closed. Luckily, they were rather close to the mansion when the akuma had stopped them so she managed to sneak through Adrien’s window both quickly and quietly. Multimouse softly placed him onto his bed, tucking the snoozing boy in as much as she could. Smoothing his hair back, she dashed into his bathroom, taking a towel and placing it under the cold water before running back to him. Gently smoothing it over his forehead a few times, she eventually placed it down.
Unable to resist, she brushed a soft kiss on his cheek, about to run back home, already making plans for a care package when an arm around her wrist stopped her, “Mari-, I mean Multi wait!”
There he went again, almost making her believe he knew who she was. Multimouse stopped, however, looking at him with a furrowed brow, “Y-yes, Adrien?”
“Pound it?” he held up his fist shakily.
She grinned, bumping his fist with her own lightly, “Pound it!”
“Thank you, Multimouse,” Adrien whispered before his eyes slipped closed once again.
“A-anytime, Adrien,” she giggled rather nervously, a wide, awkward smile spreading across her face before she managed to tear herself away from him, jumping out the window and heading back to the bakery. She was certain that once she got there she would pass out for a week.
