AI-less Whumptober Day 11: Drowning

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug

Summary: An akumatised villain tries to drown Cat Noir.

  For being a Cat, Cat Noir enjoyed being in the water. When he expected it at least. But when Dark Cupid threw him into the water, he wasn't very happy about it.

    Kim loved the water. Adrien guessed even being akumatised couldn't stop that. When the villain came into the water was when Cat Noir felt he had a problem.

    When Dark Cupid grabbed his shoulders and kept his under the water, he knew he had a problem. He couldn't call on Plagg. He couldn't speak.

    Adrien started to panic. Calling on Cataclysm wouldn't help as long as he was below the water and couldn't use his power up. As he struggled, Dark Cupid kept him in his grasp.

    Water started to make its way into Adrien's lungs. He kicked and scratched but nothing worked. Ladybug had been a no show. She had told him the day before that she wouldn't be able to help him for the next few days becouse of a family event.

    His eyes hurt from the water. The world was becoming blurry and it was harder to fight the man. Adrian was terrified. He could feel everything. The water burned his lungs. Dark Cupid's nails stabbed into his shoulders.

    Cat Noir couldn't fight anymore. His energy was gone. As he started to wrap his head around the thought of death he felt Dark Cupid's grip loosen. Kim fell into the water and then grabbed him. He took him to the side of the river.

    "Oh fuck" he whispered as he looked at the hero. "I'm so sorry."

    Adrien coughed. He threw up the water and looked at Kim. He looked ready to cry. "It's not- your fault."

    "Are you okay?" He looked like he wanted to help him.

    "Yeah" he coughed out. "Are you?"

    Kim looked at his arms. "Yeah, it's not a big deal."

    Adrien fought through the fog. He watched as Kim tried to grapple the fact that he had almost drowned him. "Let's get that taken care of." He tried to stand. "I'll call an ambulance."

    "Okay." They waited in silence. When they got there, Cat Noir explained what had happened. They checked out Kim and before they got to Adrien, he was gone. They looked but decided to leave it. He was a hero, he could take care of himself.
