Adrien sat, staring at the wall of his bedroom, not saying a word.
"Come on, kid! It's not that big of a deal! So you got into a fight with Ladybug. Who cares?" Plagg drawled. Adrien glared at the entity of destruction and bad luck.
"Not that big of a deal? Plagg! I found out that she's Marinette and then I went off on her! You call that not a big deal? She probably hates me now!" Adrien half yelled, half screamed.
"Ok, so maybe you shouldn't have done that, but hey, you could easily fix it by talking to her!" Adrien piped up at this.
"You're right Plagg! And that's exactly what I'm going to do," Adrien said, standing up. For the first time in forever (not the Disney song from Frozen), Plagg was actually looking forward to Adrien transforming. Why? Because that meant that afterward, all of this lovebug nonsense would be over. All he was waiting for was Adrien to say-
"Claws out"
Welp, he said it. Adrien was replaced by his superhero persona, Chat Noir and catapulted himself out the window. But not before turning on the shower as a distraction in case anyone came in. Chat Noir ran across the rooftops of Paris until he landed with a thump on the balcony of the Dupain-Cheng residence. He peered through the open balcony door only to have his heart shatter. Marinette was lying on her bed, face buried in her pillow, bawling her eyes out, while her kwami Tikki patted her shaking shoulder trying to comfort her chosen. Chat cleared his throat and earned a glare from Tikki while Marinette just ignored him.
"M'lady, please. Look at me," Chat pleaded.
"Why should I? You're just going to yell at me again anyway," was all she said.
"No. I'm not. Cat's honor," Chat said, wishing the bluenette would turn over and face him.
"I don't trust your stupid honor. You said, even before I showed you who I was, that you wouldn't yell, get mad, or hate me. Hell, you said those exact same words, 'Cat's honor'. Guess your honor wasn't as strong as you thought huh? You ended up doing every single one of those things. I-I thought I could trust you," Marinette began to shake uncontrollably.
"You can! You can trust me!" Chat said.
"No. I can't. Now tell me why you're here or get the fuck out of my house," Marinette rolled onto her back and sat up, tears still leaking from her crystalline eyes.
"Woop-de-do. Well, guess what? I don't need your shitty ass apology. You probably won't even mean it. So if that was all you're here for then you can leave. I don't want to hear it." Chat was surprised. Very surprised. Usually, Marinette was a very forgiving person, but now? Not at all. He guessed he deserved it. I mean, he did end up taking a page out of Chloe's book, calling her a stupid son of a bit*h, but Marinette should know that he didn't mean any of it. And he was truly sorry.
'She just needs time to cool off' said a voice in the back of his mind. Right. That's all she needs. Time.
"Chat, if you don't get the hell out of my house, then I'll have to get my dad. And you don't want to mess with him," Marinette growled. He sighed, left the room, and headed home. Maybe he'll try again tomorrow. As Adrien this time. She doesn't know that he's Adrien, so maybe he could comfort her. Yeah. That'll work. He'll talk to her at school tomorrow.
Hello :)
Just so you know, if you've read my other story All Because of a Brat, I've hit writer's block. Mostly because I can't write a fight scene for shit. I just can't. But I'm getting help from my friend Randall Miblood. She is an amazing author. You should check her stuff.
