Song: Please Don't Say you Love Me
Artist: Gabrielle Aplin
(Alternative Opening Scene to Dark Cupid Wherein it's Marinette who wrote the love letter to Adrien and not Adrien writing one for Ladybug)
Marinette stared down at the heart shaped piece of construction paper. She was about to write a love letter to Adrien….love.
Why did a four letter word give her so much cause to panic?
What was so special about the word anyway? Why did anyone confess their love for anything? Sure it was a nice word to hear but why did everyone feel the need to say it? Shouldn't actions speak louder than words. Oh boy if she was going to live by that standard of thinking then it was no wonder her brain had insisted she write him a letter instead. At least she couldn't stutter if she was writing a letter.
Well...almost. She could still second guess herself and scribble out her sentences. Which was what she was doing now.
She slammed her head on her desk in frustration and groaned. This entire idea was stupid.
She realized in that moment that she didn't want to carry on with her own scheme
It wasn't just the fear of rejection that had her crumpling the letter and throwing it into the trashcan, but some small part of her realized that she was okay with not confessing her crush to Adrien just yet.
