1: Akuma

You sighed as you trudged through the rain, kicking and splashing through the puddles with your boots. You were walking back home after a long day of school. The clouds were dark in the morning and you knew that it'd probably rain at some point, but you didn't take an umbrella, deciding to just hope for the best. Clearly, that didn't turn out so well... It was okay, though. You weren't so bothered.

In all honesty, your life was pretty boring. It was an endless cycle; wake up, go to school, come back, do homework, maybe watch as Ladybug and Chat noir save the day, and then go back to sleep to wake up the next morning. Boring. Very boring. Sometimes said schedule would be interrupted by akumas, but nothing much else happened.

You weren't too noticeable either. During class, no teachers would care or notice if you slept or didn't pay attention. That included Ms. Mendeliev, the strict science teacher and arguably the most strict teacher in the entire school. Hell, even during the Zombizou incident, no zombies even attempted to turn you; they didn't even notice you! Akumas in general ignored you, too. It gave you a slight reputation as an 'Akuma repellant'... Not that you had much of a reputation anyway.

You got into your house, rushing to the bathroom to not drench the floor. You lived alone. Your parents weren't around anymore, sadly, but your aunt and uncle took you in instead. Though, the two travelled a lot for their jobs. They had said it themselves; they weren't ready for a kid, but they took responsibility for you anyway. They'd rather not have you adopted or fostered when they were perfectly capable of letting you live with them. You were pretty responsible and independent anyway, so they trusted you to live on your own with them visiting every so often.

After taking a warm shower and drying off, you flopped down onto your bed. You sighed in relief as you felt yourself sink into your bed covers. You glanced at your homework in the corner of your eye, but decided on delaying it. You instead lay there, doing nothing at all.

"No negative emotions... No negative emotions!" Hawkmoth growled, pacing around angrily. No one had negative emotions strong enough for an Akumatization! Why was today such a happy day?! How could a single person not be angry, in all of Paris? In a fit of anger, he threw his cane to the ground. He brung his eyes up, glaring menacingly. "Fine, then..."

The man sighed exasperatedly, pressing his fingers to the bridge of his nose. He picked his cane back up, then turned one of the beautiful white butterflies around him into a fiendishly dark purple. If he couldn't get someone with intense emotions, maybe he'd go for the other extreme.

"Fly away, my little Akuma, and evilize her!"  He groaned, still frustrated over picking a weak target. That target was Y/N L/N. "This is going to be pathetic..."

You lay down on your back, simply staring at the ceiling. You told yourself you really should get up now, and yet you didn't move a muscle. As you contemplated waking up early to do your homework the next day, an Akuma flew threw the open window beside you. Your eyes widened.

You reached out your hand, the Akuma, however, didn't know where to go. It fluttered around you aimlessly.

"Heh, guess I really am an Akuma repellant. These things can't even get to me..." You sighed. Your eyes followed as the Akuma searched you for anything of sentimental value. "You... sure are trying hard, huh, Akuma? You know what, I'll help you. It'll give me an excuse for not completing my homework, yeah?"

You chuckled and got up, the akuma fluttering around you as you did. You looked around for something that had you had some kind of spiritual connection with. Kind of hard... You sighed.

"Ah, you know what... Follow me, Akuma." You said, walking to your desk. Surprisingly, it obeyed. You sat down at your desk. With an extended arm, you swiped at the contents of your desk, letting everything topple and clatter to the floor noisily. 

The Akuma hovered beside you, waiting patiently. You got a piece of paper and a pencil. You quickly drew a circle with two dots inside. You were about to draw a smiley face, but you decided against it. Instead, you drew a frown. You handed it to the Akuma, which possessed it instantaneously.

Then, a voice echoed through your head, your vision glowing purple around the edges and a slight cold tickling your skin.

"I see you've helped me Akumatize you." The voice chuckled evilly. You realized it was Hawkmoth's. You turned your head to see yourself in the mirror, noticing a blatant neon purple butterfly outline around your eyes.

"Yeah. Well, this is a change. Always thought I was an Akuma repellent. After all, none of your Akumas have ever hurt me in the slightest. Strange, am I right?" You spoke nonchalantly. He stayed uncomfortably silent for a while. Were you insulting him..? He coughed awkwardly.

"I-I see. So, are you willing to be Akumatized?"

"Sure, whatever." You sighed. You heard Hawkmoth chuckle slightly before a purple, bubbling substance started to engulf you, making you feel warm and relaxed. You sighed, droning on, "Just give me some cool powers, though. Nothing stupid like love, or making people fly away in bubbles..."

Once it faded, only your eyes had changed. The white part of your eyes was now black, and your irises were white. You raised an eyebrow at your reflection, confused.

"What..? I, uh... The transformation seemed to not have worked... Uhm..." Hawkmoth gulped frantically. He this wouldn't work out! Your emotions were not negative enough for him to completely possess your mind, but now you couldn't get a costume either?! Next, you'd be saying you didn't receive any powers!

You grinned, spinning on your chair to face the mirror and getting up. You walked over, leaning forward and studying your eyes.

"No; this is good. I can work with this... You just want the miraculous, right? I'm guessing it's for a trashy reason, but I honestly don't care. It'll be fun to see if I can do this." You spoke, inspecting your eyes in the mirror, leaning around to see if anything else had changed. You continued to search yourself for any other differences as you continued to talk, "All of your Akumas go all out, not thinking over strategy and not making a plan. They reveal themselves straight away. It's stupid. I'm stealthing this, if you don't mind. You'll have to be patient, but it'll work. Just trust me on this. Do we have a deal?"

As you were talking to the mysterious man, you blinked with the intention to get rid of the inverted version of your eyes. Miraculously, it worked. 

"...Deal." He spoke after a moment. You let out a small amused huff as you looked down, your hair overshadowing your eyes. You looked back up with a malicious smirk.

"You made the right choice."
