The rules of the Bee Miraculous are simple:
1. Your job is to protect the hive and ensure its survival. You’re the queen, the worker, and the drone.
2. Bees give chase; they never run away.
3. Remember that your stinger is lethal—to both you and your enemies.
Chloe promises to keep them in mind when she gets the Miraculous, but like most promises in her life, they tend to get broken.
ii.
Chloe often wonders who decided that she was deserving enough to receive the Bee Miraculous. Pollen tells her time and time again that it doesn’t matter—once you’re Chosen, nothing can change that save for dire circumstances. Having created a good percentage of Paris’s akumas, Chloe is sure she’s come close to “dire circumstances” before, but her kwami simply shakes her head and insists that Chloe is worrying for nothing.
“You were chosen for a reason,” Pollen tells her one late evening as she stands on the room of her father’s hotel, staring out over the lit Paris skyline. “You need to stop concerning yourself over what it is and work on living up to it.”
Chloe still wonders.
iii.
Meeting Ladybug and Chat Noir for the first time is a whirlwind of luck and destruction.
Chat Noir narrows his eyes the moment she whizzes into battle, knocking the akuma off the Eiffel Tower, like he’s trying to see right through her. The spark that lights up in his eyes tells her that he might have found something she doesn’t even know she was hiding. In the months following that first battle, she’ll wonder what he saw that night that told him she could be trusted, that let him believe they were meant to be friends.

ML Fluff Month Day 14 – Telling the Truth
Mari and Alya and bffs

“Alya, I need to tell you something important.”
Marinette sat crosslegged on her bed, fingers tapping against each other. Alya was sitting nearby with the Ladyblog open on her phone. Marinette called her friend over for a specific reason: to finally tell her her secret.
“I can’t hide it any longer. I have to tell you the truth,” Marinette continued. “And I need you to promise me that you’ll keep this a secret from everyone.”
“Of course, Mari. What’s up?” Alya locked her phone and set it aside.
“I, um…” Marinette paused. There was no other way to say it then to just say it, right? “Alya, I’m Ladybug!”
Alya blinked twice before she started laughing. This caused Marinette to blush from embarrassment. She tried to say something else but only managed to squeak.
Alya wiped away a tear that had formed at the corner of her eye. “Sorry, Mari.”
Marinette turned away. “Did you laugh because the idea of me being Ladybug is ridiculous?”
“No, no. Marinette Dupain-Cheng, you are the smartest and bravest girl I know. You’re kind and beautiful. Also, I’ve known since the day after I was akumatized that you’re Ladybug.” Alya shrugged. “It was just kind of obvious. There’s no way you have connections with Ladybug like that when I’ve never seen you talk to her before.”
Marinette’s mouth dropped open before she sighed and hung her head in defeat. “I’m really bad at the secret identity thing. It’s a miracle that Chat doesn’t know who I am.”
“Mari, I’m your best friend. I would’ve figured it out eventually. Besides, I have something to tell you, too.” Alya brushed her hair aside to show a small fox sitting on her shoulder. “I’m Vixen.”
Marinette blinked twice before she started laughing. She suppressed her giggles to tell Alya: “I already knew. I’m the one who gave you your Miraculous.”
Alya’s eyes widened in shock before she started laughing (again). “We’re a strange pair, huh?”
Marinette nodded. “I love it.”
