"Why can't you just smile?" she asks. He scoffs and lets go of her hand.
"You don't understand. You never will."
"Why not? Felix, you have to talk to me—"
He whips around to face her, grey eyes gleaming in the morning sun. "I don't have to do anything, Mari."
"I love you!"
"I—I love you too. But that's not what we're talking about."
"Yes, it is. I love you, Felix. But you never smile at me, you never confide in me, you never trust me! You need to trust me."
"I don't need to do anything—"
"Oh, stop it. If we want this—us—if we want it to work, you need to tell me what's bothering you."
Her eyes search for something in his, and after a minute of staring into her sea he sighs and grabs her hand, leading her away from the front steps of the school. He pulls her into a bench underneath a tree a few feet from the school and slides next to her, burying his face into her neck and breathing. Marinette thinks she can feel tears on her skin but she does not say a word.
They sit there, for a moment, just two people underneath the sun; one silent, one crying, both thinking.
After a minute she speaks. "Please, I just want to help—"
"My mom—they—they found her—"
Marinette hugs Felix tighter. Maybe there is nothing to say.
an:
here's who felix is, since nobody seems to know:
he was the original chat noir, but he didn't make the cut for the show. felix [last name not created] was an angsty teen who became chat noir with ladybug—still mari—and the quantic kids. i think. correct me if i'm wrong.
originally, ml wasn't a kids cartoon. it was meant for teens. felix was a main character when they were planning on making ml for older kids.
felix was cut because he was such a 'cliche anime-character' and as of now is never gonna make a comeback to the show. he's just fanon by now.
personally, i like him more than adrien. he's much more realistic—his grumpy, angsty attitude definitely fits the 'i grew up home-schooled and rich' vibe better. he's pretty serious and has platinum blond hair and grey eyes, jsyk.
tl;dr. felix was the original adrien, just an angstier and more serious version that was cut out of the final production for being cliche.
extra after reading reviews: bridgette was never ladybug. ladybug was always marinette. bridgette is a completely fanon character, i think. it was always felix/marinette, bridgette never existed.
review? :)
