Marinette always hated mornings, and now that school ended, she found them harder to bear by the day. It always felt like waking up without a purpose, a goal, a place to be. And since she became ladybug, the towns first and biggest super hero, next to Chat Noir, she loathed that feeling. it felt unplanned, and as akuma attacks are entirely random and unplannable, -trust me, she had tried it- she tried to have something planned.
sighing, she sat herself up, trying to shake the feelings of hopelessness from her mind and body, while rubbing the tiredness from her eyes. Stretching herself out afterwards. Slowly letting her arms drift down, she let out another sigh, but this one sounded more like a gasp for air.
Marinette sat there for a few seconds, -or it could have been minutes, no one was really counting- letting the sound of the raging alarm clock fully wake her up. Marinette cheered up a little as she caught eye of the red dotted kawami sleeping peacefully in the bed that was specially made for her, and not letting herself be disturbed in her sleep by the loud noises coming from the alarm.
She slammed the top of the alarm with her right hand, thus shutting it off, before heading towards the small flight of stairs that led down to the rest of her room. While sluggishly moving downwards, Marinette trying to plan what she was going to do, silently in her head.
"Fabric, Job, Alya, Adrien and Nino, patrol then study." She said out loud, more so to herself than to anyone else. "Maybe i have time to work on my new project. No school means no homework... maybe i can fit it in." she added a little bit later.
"How are you feeling, Marinette?" Tikki asked, not letting the concern show, while flying around Marinette's head. The raven headed girl didn't seem surprised at the magical being beside her. "Are you excited?"
"You bet i am!" Tikki giggled at Marinette's upbeat mood and ways. she silently wondered how the word deserved an amazing girl like her holder, the silently thanked god for letting her exist, and then silently thanking master fu for letting this precious girl be her holder.
-A little later-
"i'm sorry Marinette. My boss already hired an new assistant yesterday. and right now, it doesn't seem like we have any open spots." The cashier said apologetically, and continued to fold the newly cut piece of black fabric.
As he was saying the cost Marinette was taking out her card to pay, but the ginger cashier got to it first with his own card.
"Ummmm, Nate? I What are you doing?" Marinette looked completely confused, and truly, she was.
"It's on the house" He said, giving her the fabric in a plastic bag. "Y'know, sorry for, like, everything and all" Now Nate was blushing, and Marinette scolded herself for thinking for a moment that it was really cute, then decided to smile, receive the bag with a little happy chuckle, trying not to make it awkward for her.
"Thank you!" Marinette beamed at the freckled boy, as her phone light up and made a bird like sound,inclining that she had gotten a notifications. not picking it up, she already knew what it meant, and so did Nate. Alya was waiting.
"I think you should hurry." he said, chuckling as her phone light up with another sound, and soon after three others. Nate just shook his head with a fond smile while leaning over the counter. "i think that just proved my point. Can't keep Alya waiting."
Marinette giggled her trademark giggle that would literally melt anyone's heart, and saying her good byes before turning her heal and walking out the door. the little bell made the normal sound, indicating someone went in or out. she was met with the summer heat, Feeling great against the small pieces of skin she was showing. her light green sun dress that went down to her mid shin was quite covering, and would have been to hot to wear if it wasn't for the wind.
That girl will be the death of me. Nate though, sighing as he saw the small figure of the girl walk down the street. Apparently, he was deep in thought, as he was snapped back into reality by his co-worker.
"Your shift is over dude." he said, only now glancing at the beets red Nate."Wow, you okay there bu- Was she here again?" A small, embarrassed hum came from the redhead, and it said it all. "Why the hell won't you ask her out?"
Nate's face sterned and then he sighed, sounding a lot like a gasp for air instead."you know why, and so do i, so it's not even worth a try."
His coworker looked into the golden eyed boys eyes, and the boy was met by her deep blue eyes, looking pitifully at him."You still scared by the model boy?" She asked, brushing her blonde hair behind her ear. He didn't answer her question. She groaned, deeply wishing this twat that was her friend, really wasn't this hopeless. "You really are hopeless, you ass-hat. Now get out, your shift is over. and wipe that love sick smile off your face!"
Nate stood up and started walking. "Whatever you say, shit head." he called over his shoulder.
