⛏ Mining time ⛏
As promised, some angst starring Chat!Felix and Marinette (using some of the earlier concept art/designs)
Note: I’d been working on this oneshot and illustrations since before the most recent season 3 spoilers
were released (the ones with episode titles and synopses) so everything
in here is strictly an AU.

“I’m in love with you, Felix.”
Felix stared at Marinette for a few seconds, then scoffed. He didn’t have time for this today; he was planning his own love confession to Ladybug tonight and he didn’t appreciate any unnecessary distractions. Marinette’s abrupt declaration of love was merely one of numerous others he had received; call it another curse he was inflicted with, although this one wasn’t of magical origin like his ring.
“You don’t love me, Marinette,” he snorted. “You love what I represent. Fame, money, fashion. You think you can get a taste of those things through me.” Looking away, he added, “Just like all the others.”
Marinette faltered, “Th-that’s not true! I like you for you, not just because you’re an Agreste!”
“Is that so?” He replied sarcastically. “How could you? You don’t even know me,” he spat, words dripping with unveiled disdain.
