Cruelty
This is a different type of chapter, where the characters are actually ships from the show!
I just like this song, I think it fits the whole hexagon deal (if Adrien ever actually realized he has feelings for Marinette ugghhhhh).
The song: Rihanna-Unfaithful

There they sat again, overlooking Paris. The mighty deity, a beautifully dysfunctional fusion of the end perfection. A magnificent example of their race, currently dedicated to licking their wounds.
It's been a difficult time lately, and after another battle where they had suffered loses, they could feel the weakness catching up to them. Out of the four forms they possessed, three were crushing under the pressure of this foolish war, whilst the fourth started to feel...obnoxious. Primitive. Blind to reality. Overused.
"Shit...My right hand, not again..." The entity cried out in pain as they cleaned the many neat cuts on their hand, their green eyes filled with tears, their dark blue short hair clinging to their sweaty neck and tear-stained cheeks.
"Is it time for collecting again?" They snapped at someone, an entity similar to them, but a bit smaller emerging of the shadows. Their bluebell eyes and long black hair with blue highlights gave them an air of cold blood, but it couldn't be farther from the truth. The other entity sat down next to the first one, glancing at the many wounds slashed across the first's hand and wrist.
"He went overboard again."
"You think?! He always does."
"He looks like you..."
"Are you going to repeat that till the merry day when I finally croak?!" The first entity stood up and stomped with their bloody foot, anger filling their emerald greens.
"Please hurry up with your shitty collecting and leave me alone. I am well aware of my father's disgusting affairs, especially when it comes to my dear sweet brother that gave me these slashes!" They lifted their injured hand to eye level, and the other one frowned.
" Shitty collecting? I am not doing this by my own will! It's not my choice, it is barely theirs! You are partly to blame! Why don't you fight me, why don't you fight for them?! You are just sitting here dying!" They exclaimed, exasperated by the first being's attitude.
Anger flared in both of them as they got in each other's face, venom dripping, claws ripping through words.
"My fault? My fault... You really are hilarious, you major fool! It is strictly their fault, THEIR FAULT! They chose little miss perfect relationship over here over me, the original, the strongest, the ultimate. They are idiots who do not understand my values and what I mean to this world!"
"Your values, your meaning, my title, why is that important?! They are yearning for safety, for a sanctuary where they won't have to get aggravated by every wrong step you make! How can you expect from them to still faithfully follow you when you became such an emotional burden! You cannot even decide whether to move forward or stay back! You can't even find enough sense to use your power! You can't do anything right!!!"
" I am no one's burden but mine, get that through your thick skull! The strongest stayed with me, that's what matters! Those weak ones, with a weak heart and weak mind can freely go to your pitiful side, they will come back to me in the end!"
"Don't you think they know that?! They all know fate's path, but that's no consolation to them! There's no faith to be put into something that is so... Toxic right now!" The other entity shoved the green-eyed one onto the ground, flinching when the other yelped in pain. The one standing gritted their teeth and spat at the ground.
"You are horrid right now. You are sick, sick to the bone in all four of your forms. That rancid, stale odor doesn't help your case either. Everyone who comes close to you feels like punching you, like you are some low-life scum. You are weak, vulnerable. One side of you is dying, two are too toxic to even be around, and that last one...I don't even have the words for it." They stared at each other for a few seconds, before the blue-eyed one sighed and sat back down akimbo style.
"Sister, you are disgusting not just to me, but to yourself as well I bet. What your brother is doing shouldn't be getting to you, I shouldn't be getting to you. You had your loyal million for almost three years before me, why did it all change when I arrived, why?" She asked, even though she knew the answer already; she'd heard it many times before from many mouths.
The green-eyes one blinked and sighed, "You are perfect, sister. You have been the perfect mix of mother and your father, a unique melody, a better song than what I can play right now.", and got up to a sitting position. Her blue-eyed sibling grabbed her face and turned it to herself, exclaiming:
" I am not perfect! I am just normal! I am just me! I am what they want from you, sister!" Her breath hitched for a little, but she continued:
"Please understand what's going on with mother, please."
The emerald-eyed girl sighed and moved her hands from her face, looking back to the red horizon.
"I understand, sister. This, what she is going through, that's called cruelty. It leaves a foul taste in my mouth, if I'm completely honest." She laughed a little, but quickly looked down to her battered feet.
"Cruelty. No matter how many times I say it, I never understand how I let this happen. When did she..." She shook her head.
"When you were born, I thought you were just a whim, just an empty threat. However as time passed, I had to think about the truth. You are here because of me. She got so caught up in me that I... I started hurting her. Every time I made a wrong step, a poor decision or failed, she got hurt instead of me." She pressed her hands into her fists and looked to her sister for a second, before looking away again.
"She loves my father so much, of course she does! They are soulmates! But she is so... so fed up Lu. Every time we hurt her is one time too many, and father doesn't even notice it. I admire her strength, but she is breaking under it all. She is the only one that fully trusts in me . She is alone." She bit her lip when Lu took her bloody hand and examined it, nodding to signal that she is listening. Any regular person would be pissed that she is busying herself while they are pouring their souls out, but these two entities have been through this before. Dozens, even hundreds of times these two have sat on that tin roof, one bleeding and one forced to quietly watch it all. It indeed was cruelty, as the green-eyed one said, but a type that neither are strong enough to correct.
"When you see me growing weaker, that's her, crying in her heart, alone." Again, she had to swallow her tears and look up to the horizon, the sun fully gone from the evening sky. Unfortunately, you didn't need to be divine to realize what their mother, Marinette, was going through.
" She needs your father, she needs you now. You are the right choice for her. If anything, she should finally love somebody who'll love her back, which my father currently isn't capable of."
Both have gone quiet now, avoiding the end of this never ending ordeal as much as they could. Both know what Lu has to say and do now, but neither were ever ready. It hurt on both sides, and it will for a long time. Bitter is the beginning, bitter is the story, bitter is the end. A resigned loser and an unsatisfied victor. One born to die, one to be reborn. The play repeats itself once more tonight, far from being a final time.
"I'm sorry Em. What she needs and what she deserves are two completely different things that clash constantly." Lu let her hand go and started digging through her pockets.
"No matter how much I want to be what she accepts in the end, I know that it is impossible."
They both stood up now, one biting her lip anxiously whilst the other held a blue knife to her shoulder.
"You know I will eventually die from this, right?" Em whispered in a shaky voice, and Lu nodded solemnly.
"That is what I expect, yes. And yet you will outlive me." She smiled gingerly and cut into her shoulder, a few drops of crimson liquid already coating the knife.
"To this soul I give my command,
for true love you need to stand.
What you are now is not of that kin,
you are like a prayer without a hymn.
A fruit no longer sweet and ripe,
in this system a broken pipe.
Time has come to take my toal,
Heaven being my ultimate goal.
I strengthen and you weep,
Now close your eyes, drift to sleep."
"Until the Moon is bright again sister, I bid you farewell." Lu slowly turned away from Em's peaceful form lying on the roof, taking the last flashes of light with her as darkness swallowed all once more.

This was a strange one, wasn't it? Well, if you are wondering who the characters are, Em is The Love Square/Adrienette, and Lu is Lukanette, Em's brother is Adrigami.
As usual, I want to know your feedback on this! What do you think of this type of writing? Of this writing style? Was it too confusing? Should I write like that again?
Thank you for reading this either way,
Stay safe, kitties!
