Down the Hall
Marinette has a crush on the older of the Agreste twins, Felix. But when his younger twin Adrien steals the valentines she made for him, well, things go south from there
So without further ado, Let the chaos ensue.
Outside of the parisian classroom a sleek black cat with acidic green stripes and eyes, lays out of view and watches the goings of the humans below his hidden perch. It watches as a female with dark hair pulled back into childish pigtails enter with a small bag filled with baked goods.
Marinette stands outside of the classroom with a bag of baked goods in her hands. The one she wants to give them to is surrounded by their classmates, which he seems to ignore in favor of his book. Marinette looks down at the treats, just simple cookies she made at her family's bakery. She made a healthier batch incase his father were to find out and he were to get in trouble for something that she inevitable caused.
Adrien looks up from his spot as he waits for his friend Nino, and sees Marinette hesitating in the doorframe. He notices the cookies she made, and follows her gaze towards Felix. Knowing his older brother as well as he does, he knows that this will only end in heartbreak. So just before she can take a step into the room, Adrien reaches over her shoulder and grabs the cellophane wrapped goods.
Marinette turns to see Adrien exit the room with goods in hand. She goes to follow him only to feel as though she is falling once outside of the door. In the black space, Ladybugs and white butterflies surround her, and in a flash her pink capris, floral shirt, and jean jacket transform into something straight from Wonderland. The dress is a red with the underskirt being black the apron is a light grey with pink spots. The bag that she had around her shoulders has taken on a ladybug shape. The stockings are plain white and she is still wearing her flats only they change to black ones. The ribbons she used to tie back her hair have lengthened and now reach past her shoulders.
As Marinette sits to get her bearings a black cat with green stripes and a golden bell jumps over her shoulder and lands in front of her. Looking back it spares her a Cheshire Cat grin, and turns back around before walking off. As it walks, bright green paw prints and red arrows light up the edges of the hall. Choosing to follow it, Marinette gets up and follows the trail to reach another room with the same number as the one she just left.
Pulling the door open she is greeted with the sight of Felix standing alone on the other end of the room. The cat that she was following perched on his shoulders. As she stares she feels something being pressed into the palm of her right hand hanging by her side. Pulling her hand up upon reflexes she sees the cookies she meant to give to the same exact male standing in front of her, with no one else blocking her from her goal, nothing but her own cowardice.
Building up her courage, she holds out the goodie bag with no more than a "Here." and waits. What happens next breaks her heart and surprises her. Felix knocks the bag out of her hands, and what was once a pristine suit meant for business meetings has changed to something meant for a king. His dark grey vest and slacks turns black and the undershirt has changed to a blood red. The cuffs and buttons have changed to the suits of a deck of cards. The diamonds and clubs act as the cuffs on his sleeves and the spades acts as the vest buttons while the hearts peek through on the shirt. A black crown sits on his slicked back hair.
Marinette does nothing as he lifts one of his legs and crushes what she has spent so long trying to make. The cat leaps off of his shoulders just as she takes a step back. She hears the crack of glass from beneath her feet but can do nothing to save herself as she falls through into the blank space below.
Unlike when she first fell into the darkness, there is nothing. Marinette looks up and has flashbacks of every encounter she had with Felix when he and his brother first started school. She feels tears run down her cheeks as she opens her eyes and spots a black and purple butterfly above her. Marinette reaches out for it, and just has her hand closes around it a hand grabs her wrist, pulling her into a firm chest. Marinette accidentally releases the butterfly, only for a pure white one from before to fly away.
The male that grabbed her is dressed as a black cat. He has a large baggy tank top with a green striped turtleneck. The hands that hold her close have large knitted paw-like gloves with green on the pads, and claws. The pants are sleek with green and black patches sewed together. His look is only completed with the pierced leather ears secured in his messy blonde hair, the black masked on his face bringing focus to his illuminated green eyes, and the cat tail made of a belt.
The more Marinette looks at him the more he reminds her of Adrien, only in a more carefree aspect that no one has seen. The male leans down to whisper "It's time to wake up Princess." in her ear. It's like the flip has been switched and her eyes begin to close, the last thing she focuses on are the males warm green eyes.
Marinette wakes up in a laying down position. Based on the ceiling and the shelves higher on the wall, she knows she's in the infirmary, again. She looks over to her right to see the smaller windows and some cabinets that are sure to be filled with medical supplies. Looking to her left in the second empty bed, more cabinets, the door, and someone sitting in the chair next to the bed. Marinette's first guess would be either Alya or Nino, but the one sitting next to her, trying to keep up with their homework is Adrien. His right hand is done on the desk as he taps his pencil with his left. Marinette grabs the unoccupied hand to grab his attention.
"Hey, you're awake." He says as he shifts his head to look at her. Marinette nods her head at him, and finally notices the goodie bag on the desk next his left arm. Adrien sees where she is looking and holds it out to her with an explanation of," Sorry about taking this, I just didn't want you to get. I just never expected it in the form of the floor."
Marinette gives a slight smile and pushes the bag back towards him and wraps his fingers around the bag. "Yeah, after some thinking, I realized that Felix never really notices anybody. So thanks for worrying about me. As thanks you can brag to him with these."
Adrien looks down at the treats in his hands, what once were perfect little cookies, are now crumbling from being in his pocket, that and the tapping of his pencil on them. He nods his head in thanks and stands up. "Do you need help getting back to class, or do you have it?" He asks as he holds out his hand. Marinette takes his hand but shakes her head.
"I should be able to manage, but thank you for the offer." With a bow Marinette leaves, completely unaware of the cat that slips past her legs. Adrien stares after her as he takes a bite from one of the cookies. Amused as Plagg jumps up on his shoulders and displays a cheshire cat grin.
A/N I'm sorry for making this shorter than the others, there was not a lot to work with for this. Please don't hurt me.
