Immortal Love
'Hello Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng. We have chosen you to raise Marinette. Marinette has been sent down to earth for its protection. When she is two years old pierce her ears and put these in.'
Sabine and Tom were walking home from a date when they found a baby in a basket. With her was that note. With the note was a little brown square box. In the box was a pair of black earrings.
A couple blocks away.
'Hello Mr. And Mrs. Agrest. We have chosen you to raise Adrien. Adrien has been sent down to earth for its protection. When he is two years old give him this ring, it will adjust it's size as he grows older.'
When they walked to their doorstep a baby boy was in it with a ring and that note.
That was 16 years ago.
"Marinette you're going to be late for school." my mom shouted from downstairs.
"Sorry Mama I'm almost done." I said slipping my shoes on.
"Tikki you ready to go" I whispered.
"Yes Marinette" she whispered back.
Tikki had been with me for as long as I can remember. I got the power of the Miraculous when I was 13 and that's when I met Chat Noir. My partner in crime.
I ran down the stairs set down my drawing pad and grabbed my lunch. I kissed my mom on the cheek and ran out the door.
I looked at the time and I still had 30 minutes before school started.
"She did it again" I yelled.
"I'm guessing your mom tricked you into coming to school early again?"
I turned to the voice. It was my best friend. Alya Césaire a reporter. She runs a blog called the Ladyblog, it's about my alter-ego.
"Yeah. I seriously thought I- crap I forgot my drawing pad. I'll be right back."
I ran down to the bakery and ran into the living room.
"Mama where's my drawing pad? I set it on the counter"
"It's in the table next to the coat rack."
"Thanks mama" I yelled.
I walked to the table and searched through it. It was sitting on top of a stack of paper. I grabbed it and shoved it into my bag.
"Bye Mama, by Papa"
"Bye sweetie" my mom yelled.
I ran out of the house and back toward where I left Alya. When I arrived she was still standing there scrolling through something on her phone.
"Okay we can go now" I said right next to her. She jumped and I started laughing.
"Girl we gotta get you a bell." she said startled.
"I'd prefer not. I'd feel like a cat"
"Haha. We all know you like cats Marinette there's no use hiding it" Alya said laughing.
"What. Why would I like cats."
"Mari you draw them all the time in your drawing pad. It's not very hard to tell"
I looked down at my hands.
"Yup…. Totally busted" I said.
"Come on before the bell rings." she said grabbing my wrist.
She tugged me along with her and we entered the classroom. In was almost empty. The only other people were Rose and Juleka. We waved to them and then sat down.
I pulled out my books and my drawing pad. Then I noticed I must have grabbed a paper from inside the drawer. I turned it over to see what it said and as I did I froze.
"Mari did you hear me" Alya said nudging me slightly.
She looked at the paper in confusion.
"Mar, you're looking at a blank page" she said raising her eyebrow.
I pulled my attention back to the paper when the bell rang. I looked up and saw him walk in. His golden blonde hair and his piercing emerald green eyes. He looked like he could be a god. His perfect face and body. It was like he was an angel.
My thoughts kept going back to the paper. I couldn't help to think this had to do with Tikki.
"Ms. Dupain-Cheng are you feeling alright" I heard.
It felt as if I couldn't breath. I started to take a deep breath when everything started spinning and going black.
"Ms. I think she's having a panic attack" Alya yelled.
"She's probably faking it to get attention" Chloe chimed in. Everyone glared at her.
"Ms. Césaire take her to the health office."
"Yes ms." Alya said. She grabbed my stuff and shoved it back in my book bag and grabbed my arm ready to leave but then everything went black. I felt my body go limp and fall. I fell down the two stairs that lead to the front.
"Marinette" I heard everyone yell.
Then everything started to get muffled. I could make out a couple words but that was all then I felt my body being pick up. My arm was hanging at my side and my head was against something warm. I found the strength to open my eyes for a brief moment. Adrien Agrest was carrying me. My eyes locked with his but then they closed. I heard him whisper "Everything will be fine Marinette" before I fainted.
I was on a bed of some sort. It was comfortable. I slowly opened my eyes. They had to adjust to the light before I could see clearly. When everything cleared up I was in my room. I looked around and seen Adrien, Alya and Nino all gathered on the bed. Then down on the main floor of my room my entire class excluding Chloe and Sabrina was there. My parents were behind them.
My eyes zipped to who was sitting right in front of me. His emerald eyes just looking at me in concern. I jumped and flinched as I hit my head on the wall behind me. I slowly sat up and Alya ambushed me with a hug.
"What happened." I asked.
"You started having a panic attack then you fainted and fell down the stairs." Nino said.
"That explains my back and wrist. Um my head is killing me. Can someone get me pain killers please."
"We will sweetie." Mama and Papa said both as they exited the room.
"It's really loud in here can some of you go down? We'll call you up when she is feeling a little better." Alya called.
Adrien and Nino went to leave but I grabbed their wrists.
"You guys can stay." I said smiling.
The settles back down and mama came in with some medicine. I took it then drank some water.
"How ya feelin girl?"
"Better I guess. How did I get here?"
"I brought you here when you fainted. The nurse said to take you home so I did" Adrien said rubbing the back of his neck.
"T-thank you" I said looking at my hands.
" You're excused from school for the rest of the week"
"I'm pretty sure I'll be okay by the middle of the week"
"Mar it's Wednesday"
"But it was monday"
"You've been out for 3 days dude" Nino chirped.
"What time is it"
"11:15"Alya said looking at her phone.
" You guys came during your lunch. Just to see me" I asked.
"Yeah we wanted to make sure you were okay" Adrien smiled.
"Thanks but you guys should really go the bells going to ring soon. If you want you can come back after school. I'll still be here."
Everyone nodded and stood up. Alya gave me a hug. Then went down the ladder then Nino. Adrien walked next to me and smiled. He handed me a paper and whispered in my ear.
"Text me if you feel lonely" then he kissed my cheek. Then he followed after them. When I was finally alone I called for Tikki.
"Yes Marinette" she said flying up to me.
"Will you get me my bag please."
Tikki struggled to get it for me. When she finally landed on my bed I rummaged through it. When I came upon the paper I was reading before all this I pulled it out. Tikki gasped.
"I knew it" I whispered.
"Marinette it's not what you think."She responded.
"Really Tikki. I was hoping that when I pulled this paper out you would look at me and say it was a blank paper. I had a feeling that it had to do with you. It talks about my Miraculous. What does this mean Tikki" I asked as a couple tears escaped.
"I-i, Marinette please don't" she whispered.
"It's a note talking about me. I'm going ask questions and you're going to answer. Truthfully."
"Marinette"
" Is this note real?"
"Yes. Yes it is"
"Are the two people that own this place my parents?"
"No."She said shaking her head crying.
Tears spilled out of my eyes.
"How old was I?"
"A couple months old"
"Did my real parents love me?"
"Oh, of course they love you. You're their angle."
"Why did they give me up"
"They had no choice. They didn't"
"Do Sabine and Tom know about me being Ladybug"
"Yes. Yes they do"
"You told me that no one could know. You made me keep secrets from my best friend. You told me it wasn't safe."
"It's not"
"They look perfectly safe to me" I stood up and went down my ladder.
"Marinette you need to stay in bed." She said flying over to my face
"No. Do they actually love me"
"I'm not sure. Mostly they feel like they have to protect you so you can protect Earth."
"One last question. Did they want a child."
"No. They had lost their baby and they didn't want another one."
I ran down the stairs and Tikki tried to stop me.
"I need time. Time to think this over."
"Please Marinette."
"No Tikki. I need to think and be alone."
Tikki flew back up and I ran to the door.
"Marinette sweetie where are you going"
"Don't call me that. You have no right to call me sweetie." I hissed.
"Marinette. Don't talk to your mother that way"
I turned around and glared at the couple sitting on the couch looking at me. When I looked at them I didn't see the loving parents I thought I had I seen a couple who needed to protect some child who would protect Earth.
"She's not my mother and your not my father. You're not my parents." I yelled. Sabine got up and ran to the table by the coat rack. She opened the drawer and the note was missing.
"Marinette we can explain."
"I don't want your excuses. You lied to me my whole life." I hissed and ran out the door.
"Please let us explain. You need to know the whole story." Sabine yelled.
I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around. Tears were running down my face.
"I can't. I thought I had a family and I find out I don't. You knew about me being Ladybug. Yet you kept it to yourself. You never told me about my birth parents. I always thought that I didn't look like you guys because I was mixed with your genes but now I know I'm not even your blood." I cried and ran.
I didn't get very far when the bell rang. I just hoped I could get past the school before the kids came out. With my luck today it seemed I didn't.
I continued to run when I toppled onto someone from being too weak.
"Marinette do you need me to take you home" the voice asked. I couldn't see who it was through the tears.
"No please…. Please don't take me back there" I could hear my voice breaking. "I can't go back there. Please"
"Okay." the voice picked me up bridal style and they walked to somewhere. I couldn't tell where. Then I felt whoever it was sit down not moving me from their lap.
I felt the engine of a car start then we drove somewhere. I didn't ask question. I was glad whoever this person was, they were comforting. For all I know it could be some stranger kidnapping me but I didn't say anything. I slowly drifted off while we were driving.
I shot up gasping for air. When I looked around I seen a huge bedroom. It looked really lonely. I took in my surroundings and tried to remember what happened. Then I felt movement around my waist. I put it aside thinking it was Tikki. I remembered being with someone. How did I end up here. I looked over at a chair that looked like it had my clothes on it. Then I looked at my arms. I had a long sleeved grey shirt on with a pair of sweats.
I was curious of how I ended up in these. Then I heard someone move next to me. My eyes shot over to the person. I seen blond hair. I wasn't fully sure if it was Adrien but it could have also been Chat in his civilian form. I then noticed his shirt was off. All he had was sweats. His arm was wrapped around my waist. He moved and pulled me closer to him. He snuggled up against me. His head was now resting on my chest and I could see a clear shot of his face.
It was Adrien. I was in Adrien's bed and he is now currently cuddled up against me. I laid back hoping I wouldn't wake up if this was a dream. Slowly but surely I fell back to sleep.
I woke up with Adrien still snuggling against me. I smiled realizing it wasn't a dream. Then that also meant the people I thought were my parents aren't actually my parents.
I started to cry thinking about what happened yesterday. Adrien started to move and his eyes shot open after feeling me under him.
"I'm so sorry Marinette. You fell asleep on my lap after school so I put you in my bed. You didn't wake up and I fell asleep at the bottom of the bed. I have no idea how I ended up snuggled up against you. I'm really sorry. If you don't ever want to talk to me again I totally-"he started to panic. I cut him off.
"Adrien it's alright. Thank you. For not taking me back and not being a stranger that kidnapped me. I do have a very… um question… important… important question."
He nodded for me to continue.
"How did I change into this" I said gesturing to the clothes.
"Oh… I called Alya. Told her you said you didn't want to go home so I brought you here but I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable. So she came by and changed you. I didn't have anyone else do it because I thought you'd want it to be someone you trust" he said calming down a little.
I was so glad that he respected me that out of nowhere I wrapped my hands around his neck and hugged him.
"Thank you Adrien. That means so much to me"
"No… uh… no problem."He said wrapping his arms around my back.
"Does someone know I'm here"
"Natalie. She seen me bring you in and asked what happened. So she allowed you to stay."
As I got up to stand I walked towards the chair with my clothes and phone on it. My legs gave out and I felt dizzy. Then i fell.
"Marinette are you okay" Adrien said running towards me.
The door swung open and Natalie ran in.
"Ms . Marinette are you alright"Natalie said as she crouched.
"I don't know. I felt really dizzy then my legs gave out" I said.
Adrien picked me up once again and place me in his bed.
"I know you don't want to go back home for whatever reason, you don't have to tell me until your ready but you need to stay in bed." Adrien said sitting next to me.
"Adrien I'll call your school and excuse you. I think Ms. Marinette needs someone with her right now" she said closing the door.
"Will you lay next to me please. I feel so alone right now."I said as my eyes filled with tears.
"Of course" he whispered.
I opened the blankets and he slid under them. He laid back and I rested my head on his chest. He placed and arm around my back and pulled me closer.
In this moment I felt that everything was better. I would soon need to go back and listen to why they lied but right now I just wanted to stay like this. I closed my eyes and just listened to his heartbeat. It was soothing.
A/n: hey y'all. So I'm in the beginning of another story but then this idea hit so I'll be alternating between the two stories. If you haven't already read my other stories you should. I'd love to know what everyone thought of my stories. Anyways hope you like this one.
