You're What? Ch. 2
Here's the second chapter! Hope you enjoy. I'll be updating Even Like This next, with maybe a one-shot in between. Thanks to The Blue Miraculer and Resa for reviewing Even Like This. Also, I'm so sorry. I're re-uploading this chapter because I accidentally uploaded it to Even Like This! Gah! ;-; My bad. Anyway, please enjoy! :D
There were three akumas the week after Adrien left. They were fairly easy, even with Ladybug handling them alone.
Life was less interesting than it had been when Marinette's boyfriend was in the city.
Sure, they talked every day and texted whenever they had a free moment, but Marinette missed the way Chat always had a pun ready at any time and how Adrien was always there for her to (sometimes literally) lean on.
"Marinette, quit moping. Adrien will visit soon." Alya prodded her best friend's cheek with her finger. "He's not the only part to your identity."
Marinette sighed. "You're right, Alya. I just… miss him."
Alya rolled her eyes. "What a stupid thing to say. Of course you miss Adrien. What kind of person wouldn't miss someone they love when that person is away? It's common sense."
Message from Adrien 3 (=^・ω・^=) Agreste:
Subject: My Boring Life
Hi Purrincess,
Guess what? Father arranged a photo shoot for me with some well known American designer whose name I can't remember. Without telling me! I'm an adult! I should be able to make my own decisions. Oh well, Father is my boss.
There's this really annoying girl, too. Think how Chloe was before we started dating. Don't worry, I'm not cheating on you.
How are you? How about Alya and Nino? Have there been any akumas since I left? Are you hurt? Do you need any help? Should I come back?
My apologies for asking all of these annoying questions. I'm worried about you on your own, but I know you can handle yourself.
Love,
Adrien
"He's so sweet," Marinette gushed. "On a side note, Alya, would you like to see the dress I'm designing for Rose and Juleka's party in two weeks?"
Marinette and Alya went up to Marinette's room in her parent's house. Although she was planning on moving to her own apartment soon, most of her stuff was still there.
"See?" Hanging on a mannequin was a beautiful blue dress. It was slightly flared from the waist down, and a cute girlish sailor collar adorned the top. All in all, it was pretty, but not too formal for a casual party.
"I love it," Alya said.
"I knew you would," replied Marinette.
…
While the girls were oohing and aahing over dresses, Adrien was having a harder time.
He tried to stay positive in his letters to Marinette, but his life was not exactly going as planned.
He was often recognized as the famous model that he allegedly was, and he was happy to talk to people, but when he had hoards of people surrounding him, and was late for class, it was annoying. Not to mention Amelia, a girl who had immediately latched onto him like a leech.
"Adrien!"
Adrien looked up from where he sat typing a message to Marinette.
"Hi, Amelia," he sighed.
"Watcha doin'?" Amelia inquired.
"E-mailing my girlfriend."
"Ooh, Adrien, you're cheating on me?" shouted Amelia furiously. So Adrien shouted back.
"No, Amelia! We are not dating! And we never were! Please leave me alone!" Adrien turned around and stomped off.

Re: My Boring Life
Hi Kitty,
Glad to hear you're all right. Try talking to your dad. Maybe you two can work something out!
That girl sounds irritating. How can you put up with her? But you put up with Chloe for years, so you're pretty good at it. :D
Calm down, Adrien. Everything's fine. There have been two akumas, and the second one beat me up a little bit, but I'm not badly hurt. Stay where you are. I'm okay.
Juleka and Rose are having a party soon- they're so cute together! I'm almost finished designing the dress I'm going to wear. I wasn't going to make a brand new dress, but Rose begged.
Lots of love,
Mari.
Adrien smiled. She was okay.
….
Marinette, Alya, and Nino had a great time at the party.
And exactly a month later, at six in the morning when Marinette was still asleep, she was awakened by the doorbell ringing. She sleepily opened the door, and gasped at who stood in front of her.
"Hi, Princess, I'm home."
This is way longer than my usual stories, and it was fun to write. Please review! ~Lark :D
