Adrien stared up at his trophy case. Inside was the big gold trophy him and Marinette had won. She let him keep it in his room. They also got participation ribbons. He enjoyed playing with Marinette.Even though it was extremely akward.
She hadn't spoken to him since he apologized the other night. She didn't speak to him at all while they played video games. When he brought her school work she never made eye contact. Adrien just figured she was still shaken up from what happened at school, but Plagg knew that wasn't the case.
Tikki has come to see Plagg a few times since Marinette moved in. Tikki wouldn't tell him much. All she told him was that Marinette needed help sooner than later.
"Adrien, it is almost time for patrol."
"Do we have to go?"
Plagg was shocked. Adrien loved going on patrol. He couldn't wait to see Ladybug.
Plagg flew in front of Adrien's face and put his paw on his forehead.
"Plagg! What are you doing!"
"Checking to see if you have a fever."
"I'm not sick though."
"Well something is wrong! You love going on patrol!"
"I'm just not feeling it tonight."
"It's Marinette isn't it. Your thinking about her, aren't you?"
"Yes, I feel like I should talk to her but she doesn't want anything to do with me! She obviously hates me!"
"She doesn't hate you."
"Yes she does!"
"No she dosen't!"
"I just wish there was another way I could talk to her."
"What if there was!"
"But there's not!"
"All you need is help from a certain superhero!"
"Plagg! Your a genius!"
"I know, well now that you finally got what I was saying through your thick head, let's go on patrol!"
"Plagg claws out!"
Patrol was pretty boring. Ladybug and Chat Noir decided to cut patrol short.
"Bye Chat Noir!"
"Bye M'lady!"
Ladybug raced back to the mansion not realizing she was about to get a visitor.
"Spots off." Marinette detransformed and walked to the couch.
"Tikki why am I so tired? We didn't patrol but thirty minutes!"
"Sometimes when you lay around and don't do anything for a long period of time it makes you tired. Which is what you have been doing for the past week. You should really get out more."
"Why?"
"Because it's good for you! You can't stay trapped in here forever!"
"I know-"
Tap tap.
"Tikki hide!"
Marinette walked over to her balcony door to see Chat Noir.
"Chat Noir?"
"The one and only."
"What are you doing here?"
"Can't a knight visit his Princess?" He grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles.
"You must be mistaken. I'm not a Princess, far from it."
"You may not have a royal status but your a Princess in my eyes."
"You just met me."
"I may have just met you but I have heard of you."
"Okay well would you like to come inside to talk?"
"Sure let's go." They walked inside and made themselves comfortable on the couch.
"Why are you here."
"I just wanted to talk to you."
"About?"
"Adrien says you've been acting different and that you won't talk to him. Princess he's worried about you."
"I don't see why. I'm fine."
"You don't look fine. You have terrible bags under your eyes like you haven't slept and your very pale. So don't lie to me." Chat's voice was dark. He didn't mean to come off this way but he was tired of being ignored.
Marinette was shocked. She had never seen Chat like this before. He was her sweet, charming partner. She took a deep breathe and decided to stare at the floor.
Chat was becoming impatient. He wanted answers now! He looked up at her. She was in her on little world. Chat couldn't take it anymore. He tried being nice but that wasn't working so he decided to go another rought.
He walked over to her and picked up her chin was with his hand. Her eyes went wide.
"Answer me Princess, or I might just have to punish you." He gave her a wink as if he was joking. Marinette was scared though, flashbacks of Lila filled her mind. She felt the breath get sucked out of her lungs, her throat began to close up. She needed air.
Chat noticed how fast she was breathing. Princess calm down.
"N-no I need air-."
She pushed past him and ran to the bathroom slamming the door.
Chat got up and ran to the bathroom and ran straight to Marinette's room. He knocked on the door, after no answer he opened the door to see Marinette curled up in a ball on the floor.
"Marinette." He whispered.
She didn't answer. She was crying and trembling. It was all his fault. He had to do something. He knelt down beside her and whispered comforting words in her ear.
"Your okay."
"Everything is going to be fine."
"Breathe with me."
"1...2...3...4...5..."
After a few minutes she calmed down.
"I'm so sorry Princess. I should have never talked to you like that.
"I-it is o-okay. I'm f-fine n-now."
"Well I should go Princess. You need rest." he leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry I'll be back to have our little chat." With that he walked out to the balcony and left.
Adrien got back to his room and detransformed.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" Plagg screamed.
"What? Ow! Did you just bite me!"
"Sure did!"
"I didn't know she was gonna freak out!"
"Oh my Princess! If you don't tell me what's wrong I'll have to punish you!" Plagg mocked Adrien. "Your such a dumbass! Maybe I should punish you!"
Adrien gulped.
"Go to sleep. I don't wanna look at your face!"
"Plagg, I'm sorry."
"You should be!"
"I'm gonna take a shower." Adrien walked to the bathroom.
"I'm so sorry Sugar cube...I'm sorry my holders such a dumbass."
