The Music In My Veins

by sctwilightvampwolfgal

There's more than a few facets to a good character, to a good life, and yet throughout the many sides of life, they always tried to have hope that they'll carry on. *Written for the Random Music Shuffle Challenge by Anne on the Miraculous Challenges Forum by yellow.*

2. My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend by Relient K

He remembers her in the warmth at his side that's never enough, and he remembers her with the cheer and joy that lit up her eyes.

Cat Noir made a mistake in not cherishing her enough, in not loving her in the way that he always should have.

Pig tails with a little bigger ribbons had caught his eye like they always had, but he should have listened to a playful voice, a soft heartbeat, and trying to beat someone much better than him at Ultimate Mecha Strike III.

Cat Noir made a lot of mistakes in his life, but letting Marinette go was one of his worst.

Her laughter drew his eyes even though he wasn't transformed right now, and he saw how close Luka had managed to swoop in, lips brushing against her still laughing ones as she playfully shoved him away: young and in love.

Adrien practically cursed under his breath, but he couldn't help how his eyes locked back on the young couple.

"So," Nino asked, "Is everything okay?" The young DJ to be was all comfortable next to Alya, and Adrien hated how jealousy filled up his veins and broke his heart ever further.

"Y-Yeah," Honesty didn't spill forth from his lips even though it should have, but he couldn't admit that he missed the thrill of Marinette's lips on his, that he missed the way that her fingers ran through his messy hair, and brushed against the fake cat ears. He couldn't admit that with a mask, he'd had the world.

Her eyes now shone and sparked with love for someone else, and now he knew that to love and to lose hurt far more especially when you didn't realize what you'd had until it left even by your call, your choice.

"Adrien." It was a soft warning for honesty, but Adrien couldn't say the words that burned up his throat and made him nearly cry in frustration and pain. He'd try his best to forget how she'd laugh at his jokes, how she'd press up against his side, and how she loved him through the little things like the clothes that she designed for her boyfriend back then that he could never wear as a superhero or the way that they pressed close even when they shared jokes and laughter like joy between them.

He'd never be the same as his eyes flickered back over to the happy couple and even as his heart broke again for perhaps the millionth time.
