Somebody's gotta be on Mari's side...

-

Felix considered himself to be a simple and practical person. So naturally, when he saw others causing harm to the one he cared for, his reaction was to retaliate back. Or atleast, it would have been, if Marinette hadn't stopped him.

Felix had quickly realise that Marinette was not a person of conflict. She did her best to actively avoid it, which was sometimes harmful as some confrontations would always be necessary. The only reason Felix hadn't gone and collected evidence against Lila was because Marinette told him not to do it. And the main reason Marinette had told him not to, was Adrien.

Pushover Agreste with his high road and 'kindness' approach, the guy who couldn't even stand up for himself, let alone anybody else. Felix was a little appalled to learn that Marinette had been crushing on the guy for quite some time, but with Lila taking centre stage as main villain, that crush had died down almost completely. Not to mention, finding out that Adrien was Chat Noir only furthered the deterioration her crush, because Chat Noir was.... well, Chat Noir.

Not that Felix would complain. What he would complain about though, was the situation that Marinette had found herself in. Specifically, the 'Dalia' situation.

Marinette wasn't the only one who believed that Lila had gone too far this time around. There was certain limits you did not cross, and this was one of them.

Enough was enough. And if Marinette wouldn't do anything about it, well, Felix wasn't Marinette, now was he?

That was what found him outside the girl's washroom and leaning on the wall beside the open door, phone camera in hand and tilted just so to capture two laughing girls inside.

"I know I've said this before but honestly Lila, your classmates are so fucking dumb!"

Lila smiled at her reflection in the mirror, "They do seem to lack in common sense, don't they?"

"Like, how stupid do you have to believe some random stranger claiming to be Ladybug?! Like seriously, use your brain a little? I mean, when you first suggested this whole plan I thought 'No way are we going to pull this off', but they didn't even question it! Not one bit!"

"I told you it would work."

Dalia huffed and shook her head, "Seriously though. I didn't think people could be that stupid."

Felix watched as Lila dug through her purse and pulled out some lip gloss before popping it open and applying some to her lips. He took that his cue to leave. No doubt the girls would be done any minute, and he didn't want them catching on to his plan before he had a chance to set it in motion. He strode purposefully through the school halls, hoping that Marinette didn't think too much of his absence, and that they still had time to go out to that cafe she had been wanting to go to for quite a while now.
