Marinette's pov.
"Marinette!" Tikki yelled frantically for like the 3rd time that morning.
"Five more minu—" I mumbled groggy pressing my head farther into my pillow in my bunk of my bed on the Tour bus. I felt something cold slithering on my upper back, I shrieked and tumbled out of my bunk.
There was laughter as I sat up rubbing my butt, hissing as I did so. Kelly looked up from her laugher with an empty plastic water bottle in her hand. She was still in her pail pinkish orange pjs on with her hair in an messy bun and her green miraculous on her right wrist. I glared at her, then traveled my vision to Devin and Tikki. Tikki was perfectly dry and giggling a bit, while Devin was smiling hiding her laughter but she was in her pjs also consisting of a black tank muscle top and plaid fuzzy pajama bottoms, she also had her small miraculous hair pin tucked in on her small 'man bun' type thing that she seemed to pull off well as an bed time hairdo, she was also sopping wet, as Was I.
"I tried to warn you Mari" Tikki shrugged and giggled again as Pollen appeared next to her nodding with happiness in her little kwami eyes, then Wazz was there rolling his eyes but amusement in them also.
" 'Come on Marinette, let's go get your little boyfriend, too." Kelly said holding up another almost frozen bottle of water, as Devin reached her hand out for me to take, Which I did gratefully.
"Didn't Wazz tell you not to do that anymore, Kelly?" I offer ringing out one of my braids. Wazz nodded as he flew next to us with the other Kwami's and Kelly giggled as we approached David's bed.
He of corse, was still asleep. He was laying in an seemingly uncomfortable position, with his lips slightly parted and his light brown hair a mess, and his miraculous as a surfers shell necklace around his neck and laying on his chin, halfway in his mouth. I smiled and shook my head at my boyfriend as Kelly carfuly untwisted the cap of the water bottle.
"GAH" David screeched, shooting his arms out and latching on to the closest thing next to him, Which was me. Devin and Kelly started laughing as did I. David rolled his eyes blushing a little, not i'm watching his arms from my waist.
"You can let go now little Davie-Poo, we need to get dressed, were almost at the hotel" Kelly giggled poking him.
"what is it again?" Devin asked and I answered with this small smile on my face
"A friend of mine from high school, Chloé." I said with a small smile on my face.
"Ok well come on, let's eat and get dressed. Tonight is an hotel night!" Kelly says but squeals the last part. When you're on tour you don't get many chances to sleep in an actual bed so hotel nights were a pretty big thing.
"Come on, Come on!" Kelly says taking Devin by the arm and dragging her to the doors of the fancy hotel. I smile at them glance over at David, his face only held awh.
"You like it?" I say softly, still smiling. He nodded vigorously and stopped facing me.
"It's amazing, Marinette. How did you find this place again?" He said easing his eyebrow, glancing at me.
"I thought I told you?" I say with an hint of amusement in my voice.
"Uh nooo" He said looking up in the air the way he dose when he's lying.
"You just like hearing me talk don't you?" I ask even though I already knew the answer.
"And I thought you Already knew that?" He said putting his hand on his piped out hip. I giggled and rolled my eyes mumbling something about Gerard Way and sass queen.
"And what was that? You saying how much you love me?" David said grinning, maki me smile, but roll my eyes.
"Marinette? Marinette!" Someone said behind me.
"Oh hey your Chloé right?" Kelly said pulling Devin over to were we all stood in a misshapen circle.
"Yep, that's me! Marinette it's been so long! I've missed you!" Chloé squealed jumping forward and wrapping her arms around me for a hug. I tensed slightly but hugged back, she smelled expensive perfume and a small bit of honey.
Time skip to when Marinette is getting ready to leave the Hotel to go see Nino at his and Alyas apartment.
"Ok, ok. I will be back soon! Love you guys!" I say into the grand hotel room as I shut the door. I was on my way to Ninos. We—well I— wanted to catch up
3rd POV
"Huh I wasn't expecting anyone" Nino mumbled and got up from the couch were he sat talking to Adrien on the phone and went to go get the door.
"Dudette?" Nino said as he opened the door the reveal the singer.
Her long dark blue hair was tied into two long braids that went down past the middle of her back. Se was wearing a black t-shirt that said 'today I many wear black' on it in A rugged white Print. She was also wearing black jean shorts, and black dancers tights and to top of the look, she was wearing a leather jacket and a red and black flannel shirt tied around her waist. The girl was also wearing black ankle boots, Along with the same band bracelets in the one plain red one with black spot's on it tighter then the rest of them around her wrist.
"You Want an explanation didn't you?" She said with a duh look on her face, but also with a smile.
"Come on in" Nino said smiling, glad that his old friend was here and was going to open up to him. Nino started walking back to the living room as an confused Adrien still was on the phone.
"Oh uh sorry dude, I gotta go something just came up. Uh I'll talk later?" Nino said into the phone and Adrien nodded unsurely then said that it was ok, while Nino apologized profusely.
"Sooo on to the topic, my 'disappearance'" she said holding up air quotes smiling softly like it was a old joke.
"So We're were you? you were gone for like 4 years" Nino started, sitting down on the couch.
"So to sum it all up before I was in Paris I lived in America, I was in one of those Shi— uh I mean crappie adoptions centres for most of all of my life and I had 3 other friends that I sometimes hung out with also, then I was temporarily Foster housed by Sabine and Tom, here in Paris for all of high school and—" she started occasionally glancing at the ceiling.
"Wait sooo you were adopted, like as in Sabine and Tom were not your parents?" Nino said confusion laced clearly in his voice
"Pretty much. So someone had an interest in adopting me as I moved back to America quickly, then they didn't want me so I was tossed around some more by mostly bad people"
'Bad people?' Nino subconsciously thought.
"And soon later I ran into those same 3 people again we all had different...Uh family issues...to say we became family was an understatement, we were there when we needed them to be, and we created a band" she summed it all up wincing at the some parts as Nino started to pity the girl more and more.
"There is more, uh about my real family. But..." she trailed off and Nino jumped in.
"You can tell me when your ready Mari" he said softly and smiled as the topic changed.
This is Adrien's random flash back in 3rd POV and is needed for the rest of the story!
Like any other Friday everyone was tired and done with school, except Marinette. Fridays were her favorite days. It was the day she gets to practice something she has kept from everyone well except her foster parents. Anyway the day started like any ordinary day, Marinette was late and classes were boring and couldn't stop staring at Adrien.
As the final bell rang Marinette packed up her things quickly and was about to leave when Alya caught her
"Hey Girl wanna hang out with me and Nino today?" Alya asked her
"Sorry I can't I have to work on a design" Marinette replied simply, even though it was a lie, one that she used many times.
"Ok well cya!" Alya wave goodbye and Marinette waved back.
Marinette's Pov...
I waved back at Alya and headed for the music rooms, they are quite close to the lockers so I make sure nobody was around when I confirmed my suspicions of no one around. I entered the music room hastily walked up to the closest and took the key from my purse were Tikki was tucked away, unlocking the cabinet that help my biological father's old blue electric guitar, that I placed there Early this morning. It was old and battered but it seem to play better than when it was new. I strummed a checking if it was tuned properly, a smile escaped my lips when it was and I put my fingers on appropriate threats and started to strum away, losing myself in the music.
"She stares at her ceiling once again
With 100 thoughts
Maybe they know who I am
Actually probably not
She walks down the hall with her head down low
Scared to meet his eyes
Even when she hears there voice
She swarmed with butterflies
It's impossible to get you off my mind
I think about 100 thoughts
and you are 99
And I understand you will never be mine
And that's fine
I'm just breaking inside
They always walk the crowded halls
But blinded by the light
And when She hear his voice
She swarmed with butterflies
And I understand you will never be mine
And that's fine
I'm just breaking inside
A girl who keeps her head down low
and never shows her eyes
He tried to talk to her
but there's no easy way
cause every time he raises his voice, she runs away
oh it's impossible to get you off my mind
I think about a hundred thoughts
and you are 99
And I've understood—"
The door slammed shut, snapping Marinette out of her music induced trance, flinging her line vision to the door were Adrien stood. I felt an thick blush Cote my cheeks as I scrambled to gather my stuff.
Adrien's Pov...
I was going to the music room to return some piano sheet music when I opened the door to only hear someone singing a song that I have never heard before, with great talent and what sounded like they were playing an instrument also. They were amazingly talented. I crack open the door more to peak my head thew and was surprised at who I saw.
Marinette.
She was playing, what looked like an old electric guitar and singing too.
I was in awh. I as quickly and quietly as I could I stepped into the music room, the door still opened a bit as she kept on singing Completely oblivious to me standing in the room.
FLASHBACK ENDED
Gonna go back into 3rd pov!
"Ok uhhh what's the band called?" He asked at first not really sure what to ask next, plus he did forget the name and he wanted to know more about her crew.
"No lead" She said, smiling.
"Here.." She continued hading him a video of four people on a stage in a crowded bar with a girl with one long braid was dancing and looked all around free, having fun, and most surprisingly she looked like this was the best moment of her life singing with a tall boy with brown hair as two other girls played other instruments as they sang a slow at some parts and fast at others song
They were amazing, like when he saw them live though nothing compared to them live and in front of you, playing.
"Who are the others again?" Nino asked but now that he thought about it it sounds like a weird, creepy and dumb question.
"Well there's Kelly she's playing the bass guitar and then there's Devin she's playing the drums in that song, but is originally the keyboard player and then there's David he is my boyfriend, but he usually plays the drums" she answered
with a smile on her face.
"Oh right and I play the electric guitar" she said smiling/smirked
- "Oh" he responded. Boyfriend?he thought about Adrien. He didn't know what his best friend would think, after his whole 'she's just a friend' faze. Actually he didn't even know if he knew that Marinette was back in town.
"And I also wanted to give you these, sorry it's not a better seat, but you know. You can't just kick people out of a sold out show…" she said smiling is a bit, putting an envelope on the Coffee table. Nino smiles and Marinette stood up.
"I must get going, it was nice to see you again, Nino" she said kindly and made her way to the door as he was staring at the envelope.
They were three Concert tickets. Concert tickets for 'No Lead'.
