Adrien's pov:
"Can I speak with my father natalie" I asked as I was revising physics.
"Your father's free on next sunday between 07:45 am to 08:00 am, during your breakfast" Natalie checked the schedule as I banged my head against the table.
Ouch..!! I shouldn't have banged my head that hard.
I held my head as natalie looked horrified.
"Adrien... " She stood up rushed to call my bodyguard.
"You're bleeding adrien, keep this ice pack until the doctor arrives" She rushed and gave me an ice pack.
"Is my father still busy making money" I smirked as natalie's eye widened.
well, I didn't intentionally banged my head against this table but I gotta use my chance.
After doctor cleaned my wounds and putting a bandage over my head. I was finally let free in my room...with my bodyguard watching my every move.
"Adrien do you know how disappointed I am with you, right now" My father entered with his signature emotionless face and sat on the edge of my bed.
"I want to wear graduation hat and coat while graduating from high school father" I told as he stood up from my bed.
"I'll design you the best graduation hat and coat son but don't do something like this" he gently examined my head.
"I don't want your designs father, I wanna graduate like every other normal student, with friends by my side and I wanted to give my graduation speech" I argued as my head started to pound.
"Agreste family doesn't need friends, I'll arrange a graduation ceremony for you to recite your speech in front of mayor and every other respectable people" He cleared his throat and was ready to leave.
"I don't want any of that, I just want to graduate with my friends" I looked down as he walked out of the door as if he didn't heard me.
I have to do something. It has been my dream to wear the graduation coat, deliver my speech about how much I loved my friends and all.
Besides now I have an extra special reason to attend my graduation. I want to apologize to marinette for everything I've put her through.
I'm gonna snuck out and attend my graduation day.
I'm ready to accept any punishment.
"Hello felix" I called him as he answered after an hour.
"Glad to know you're still alive in your golden cage" His voice filled with sarcasm.
"Felix when is the graduation day" I got straight to the point.
"After our finals.. umm.. precisely at the mid of this month, why? you want me to video call you" One could hear sarcasm dripping in his words.
"I'm going to snuck out of my house so make sure you get a graduation coat and hat for me" my voice was excited at the end.
"Never imagined you'd be a rebellious kid, anyway how about you come to our midnight eiffel tower visit tonight" He asked as I considered for a minute.
"Who are all coming" I reluctantly asked.
"Me, my Chinese doll, Ms. Fake reporter and Mr. pathetic DJ, marinette" he told
Though I'm mad at him that he called alya 'fake reporter' and nino 'pathetic dj', I actually missed hearing his voice.
wait...wait a minute...wait a fucking minute...
"Who's chinese doll?!" I asked as I remembered if I have any chinese classmates.
"You coming or not" he sounded annoyed.
"Of course I'm coming but why are you guys meeting at the midnight" I asked as he let out a sigh.
"Tonight is the meteor shower, we all planned on watching it from the top of the eiffel tower" He sounded annoyed.
"I'll meet you guys at the eiffel tower but don't tell anyone about me coming there tonight" I told
"Then I'll see you later rebellious kid" He hung up the phone.
Can this boy atleast talk some sweet words to me, I haven't talked to him for months yet he's finding me annoying.
I have to make this wound seem less horrible.
Hurrayyy...I'm going to see the meteor shower.
ohhh... I first need to shower.
I sneaked through my blanket and went towards my bed room door to see my bodyguard soundly snoring and sleeping.
Time to transform into chat noir. I jumped from roof to roof as I saw marinette carrying two heavy boxes.
"Need an helping hand" I told from behind as she faintly squealed.
"Chat noir, are you stalking me" she rolled her eyes.
no I can't manage to ruin my image as chat noir too..
"I am going to visit my cousins for emergency purpose and jumping from roof to roof seems like the fastest way" I chuckled as she giggled softly.
"Okay, I'll get going"
"Stop princess, I can drop you near your destination" I nervously asked as she considered it for a minute.
"But you said there's something emergency" She looked concerned.
"This cat got time, hop on" I told as I dropped her off near the eiffel tower.
"Thank you chat noir" she told as she took back her two heavy boxes.
"I'll see you around then" I gave an awkward smile and flew into the night.
now time to show up as adrien.
I spotted nino, alya and marinette as I went near the bottom of the eiffel tower.
"Hey guys" I could see everyone turning around and looking at me with wide eyes.
"My dude" Nino was the first one to break the silence followed by his tight hug.
"Felix told me about you guys hanging out here, so I snuck out of my house and came here" I let out a breath
"No problem, we're actually waiting for felix and bridgette" alya as marinette remained silent.
I feel like I should go back to my mansion and never come out but I've already made my decision.
"What happened to your head" Felix came from behind
"I was wondering the same, by the way how are you doing adrien" bridgette gave a gentle smile.
wait... she's chinese
"of course bridgette is the chinese doll" I kinda shouted which made felix eyes go wide.
"huhh... what?!" bridgette gave me a weird look
"Did you hit your head hard cousin" Felix smoothly rolled his eyes and rushed everyone to the top of the eiffel tower.
"Marinette can I talk to you" I whispered as she looked strangled for a moment.
"Chat noir... "
no no no no no no no no no...no no no no no no no no no no no...she didn't figure out, did she?she can't figure out my identityI'm gonna act dumb, no matter what
"Chat noir told you about me? " she finished her sentence as I let out a breath.
"Yeah, he told me how much you're suffering because of me"
"Did he...do this to your head adrien" she was hesitant as I shake my head.
"No no...I went insane and banged my own head" I let out an awkward chuckle.
"Listen marinette, can I talk to you alone" I asked as she looked at alya and others.
Everyone already started sitting under the blanket with snacks and telescope.
"Okay" she smiled as we went to the opposite side.
"I'm sorry" we said at the same time and looked at each other
man up adrien!!
"I'm sorry marinette because of me, you had to go through bullying and sorry for acting reckless when I was akumatized" I looked down at my feet.
"No adrien, you didn't do anything inappropriate like the video footage showed and everyone knows that"
"But that nadja's live coverage... "
"I know but in reality you came close to wipe my tears and you didn't do anything. everyone in our school knows that" she told as I let out a relieved breath.
I didn't harassed marinette!!I'm still a gentleman!!
"Then what did I do when I was akumatized" I reluctantly asked her.
"You didn't remember anything" She looked disappointed for some reason.
"I'm sorry that I made you feel like I despise you, when you were akumatized you asked me why I hate you and I felt like I'm the reason you've akumatized so I kinda...cried" She looked guilty and continued
"And I'm sorry that because of me, you have to stop attending school, I...I don't hate you adrien, you are one of my best friend, I always carry the luck charm that you gave me, what more do I have to do to prove that I like you... as a good friend" Tears are ready to fall from her eyes
"Marinette...I didn't want to make you cry, can you give me another chance...another chance to be the good friend you deserve" I went close to her yet maintained my distance.
"Okay" She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and gave a cute smile.
I just want to hug her but I can't over step and let her think that I'm some kind of rich psycho like those fanfics describe.
"Guys look the meteor shower is beginning, Nino pass me my camera" Alya squealed and started shooting for her vlog.
