Chapter #1
The Beginning
It happened on a day like any other when Marinette was in year Four she was getting picked on by Chloe who kept calling her fat and ugly and a loser which is normal for kids to bully their peers but on this particular day Marinette had lost her Grandmother unable to deal with the stress she ran out onto the street and was accidentally hit by a car she only had minor wounds except there had also been a loud crack and screech from the car that most people could handle but Marinette's ears had always been sensitive the loud bang and screech popped her ear drums the damage was irreversible.
Chloe didn't think she did anything wrong said that Marinette was the idiot who ran out onto the street but everyone blamed her anyway it took her a few months to get back on her feet and get used to not being able to hear anything Chloe's Father paid the medical bill as well as for lessons on how to speak sign language, it didn't give her, her hearing back but it helped. It's been a few years now and Marinette has gotten used to her silent life not a single sound echoes through her ears but it doesn't stop her from staying positive today she starts year 10 which she's excited and ready for.
At School in Class the teacher introduces herself then announces two new students "There are two new students joining this class this semester the first is this young lady Alya Césaire" Alya walks in and waves to everyone the teacher continues "The second won't be starting for a few months Adrien Agreste" his name got a mixed response from the boys and mostly excited screams from the girls "Now Alya let's see why don't you sit next to Marinette, I'll find a better seat for you but in the meantime please deal with it.
Alya scans the seats as she spots a shy girl with raven blue hair waving at her so Alya sits down next to her and says "Hey, I'm Alya nice to meet you!" she holds out her hand to shake it but Marinette smiles as she writes down on a little note pad which says "Hi, I'm Marinette. Nice to meet you." she then shakes Alya's hand. Alya frowned looking at Marinette curiously. Marinette scribbles something else down and shows it to Alya and it says "Sorry, I'm Deaf so I can't hear you.
Alya thinks for a second then smiles and gets her own notepad out and writes down something it says "My name is Alya, I hope we can be friends" Marinette smiles and nods at her Nino turns to Alya and smiles "Hey, there I see you meet our class mute" Nino smiles at Marinette speaking as he makes hand signs "Hey, Marinette how are you this morning?" Marinette nods and makes hand signs "Okay, I made a new friend so I'm actually pretty excited!" Nino chuckles and nods "yeah I hear that"
Alya, Nino and Marinette become like the three musketeers Nino even teaches Alya some hand signs to help her hold a conversation with Marinette Chloe still being the bitch she is teases Marinette but she always gets protected my Alya and Nino both figuratively and physically they always stand in front of her to shield her.
Anyway 5 months past by and Adrien walked into class he arrived before Marinette or Alya and saw Chloe sticking gum to Marinette's seat. "Hey!" he said walking up to the seat "You can't do that someone probably sits there!" Nino sighs "She knows let me introduce you to the bitch of the school" Adrien pushes Chloe out of the way and tries to get the gum off before he can though there's a tap on the back of his shoulder he turns to see Alya "Hey! Mister I don't know who you think you are but that's my friends seat she gets enough stress without some big shot new kid picking on her!"
Nino tries to interrupt "wait Alya…" Alya doesn't let him finish "Not now Nino!" she turns back to Adrien "Well what do you have to say for yourself!?" Adrien feeling a little overwhelmed "It's not what you think I… uh I…" he sees Marinette behind her and her innocent sweet shy face pulls at his heart strings just then the teacher walks in and starts class forcing everyone to take their seats luckily the long seats were long enough so Marinette didn't have to sit on the gum.
After class Adrien had to go to fencing practise then piano lessons after which he saw it starting to rain as he got to the exit of the building to see the quiet shy girl he saw with Alya earlier this morning "Hey, your that girl" Marinette hears his voice and anger boils up inside her until he offers her his umbrella "Sorry about this morning it wasn't me who put the gum on your seat I was trying to get it off actually" Marinette realises the confusion and blushes and nods her head in forgiveness.
Adrien smiles "does that mean you forgive me?" Marinette nods and Adrien smiles "does that mean we can be friends?" Marinette thinks for a moment then gives Adrien a big smile and nods which makes Adrien smile back Adrien offers Marinette the umbrella again and she takes it then it clasps onto her making her blush and she lifts it off Adrien smiles at her as he walks into the rain and makes it to his limo then looks back at Marinette and waves she shyly waves back smiling to herself.
Chloe watching everything is not happy Adrien is her future husband in her head and this is not a positive reinforcement to that future, over the next few weeks Adrien, and Marinette become really good friends, and yet he'd never heard her speak, "Hey, Marinette you don't talk a lot do you?" Marinette reading his lips was able to figure out what he said and frowns "She's deaf!" Chloe raises her voice from across the room "so you might as well forget about her and hang with me!" she tries to cuddle up.
Adrien surprised looks at Nino and Alya they both nod their heads so Adrien smiles pushing Chloe away and he uses sign language to talk to Marinette "Hey, is this better?" Marinette's hear beats faster and she smiles and nods
2 years later Chloe hasn't gotten anywhere with Adrien whereas Marinette hasn't even tried to get close to him but he's only seen eyes for her in her heart she misses talking she wishes she could hear, so she decides to say his name "A… Adr… Adrin" Adrien looks at her and smiles and uses sign language to talk to her "did you just say my name out loud?" Marinette nods but Chloe just laughs "Of course she'd say it wrong unbelievable you should just give up on existing Marinette your just a waste of space right now!"
Marinette frowns knowing Chloe for as long as she has she can guess part of what she said and reads her lips to get the rest of it making her run away crying Chloe returns to hitting on Adrien "Now, that the third wheel is gone why don't you and me get to know each other better. Huh?!" Adrien forcibly removes her hand then leaves to go after Marinette shocking Chloe "What?!"
Adrien finds Marinette hiding in a broom closet he uses sign language to say "are you okay?" she just shakes her head and says with sign language "I just wanted to say your name but…" Adrien puts his finger to her lips even though she wasn't actually talking and says to her "it's okay I think it was kind of cute but if it really bothers you that much I'm sure I can help you say my name properly" she nods with determination and he smiles Adrien cups her cheeks and kisses her thinking she'd push him away but is pleased when she doesn't
Adrien smiles at her after they break the kiss and says "would you like to go out on a date sometime?" Marinette nods and wraps her arms around him happy kissing him one last time making Nino and Alya watch sigh happily but Chloe just snaps her pencil.
