"This is such bullshit." Marinette growled. She currently was standing in Adrien room with a red notebook in her hand. The young blonde was on his waterbed looking through his college papers from America to see if he could find a loophole to get in without the 60 credit needed to attend.
"I know, I can't believe all of our credits are gone." Adrien said. "He erased everything, even our transcripts from k-12 grade. My college application keeps telling me to attend school in order to get into college! I literally didn't think that was possible."
"I had 12 credits left before I left that shit hole! Now I am stuck there!" Marinette growled. "Ugh, I am going to waste my life sewing torn shoe lases till the day I die!"
"Overdramatic but I get where you're coming from." Adrien said. "My offer to still stands."
"Yea, let me make erotic clothes for Chat Nior line, I can see the papers now. Popular designer made a top list because she slept with the prince of sex." Marinette said. Adrien looks down at the papers, he had a sad expression on, making Marinette realize her mistake. "Look, I am honored that you want to help me. But I want to reach the top myself, make a name for myself."
"I see." Adrien said with a smile. It disappeared when something came into his mind. He drops the papers onto the bed, climbs over to his chore and pulls out the yellow paper that was her contract. The blue haired girl looks in curiosity as Adrien also pulls out a light.
"I Chat Noir hereby expunge the contract I had set for you." Adrien said. He lights the paper on fire then sets it on his bed. The two stared for a few seconds before realizing the stupidity of the burning paper.
"OH SHIT!" Adrien shouted as he tries to put the fire out, only to burst a hole in his bed that open a large crack. The large crack spreads quickly, causing both the young adults to fall into the small height of water with Adrien bed sheets wrapped around them. It took them a while but they broke free from the water trap of his bed sheets in his mini pool. Marinette broke free first, before helping Adrien find his way out of the covers. Once Noir, they climb out of the bed and gasped for air.
"How stupid could you be?" Marinette asked.
"I don't know Mari." Adrien moaned. "Oh crap, I need a new bed!"
"That is the least of your worries." Marinette growled. she stood up from her laying position and begins to remove her wet clothes. Adrien's eyes were glued to her black panties that wrapped around her wet bottom. A smirk appears on Adrien's face as he rose to his feet.
"Oh, giving me a little show are we?" Adrien asked. Marinette shakes her head in annoyance.
"I am too pissed to fuck right now Adrien." Marinette growled.
"I can fix that problem." Adrien said as he winks at her. Marinette chuckles at his efforts to have sex with her.
"You're sweet, but I am so upset right now." Marinette said with a gentle smile on her face. Adrien nods his head at her words.
"I understand. I love you so much." He told her. Marinette blushes at his words, she walks over to him and kisses him on the lips. It wasn't a hot passionate kiss, it was gently kiss shared by lovers. Something Adrien has been waiting for years to feel. Their kiss however was short lived when Adrien phone rang. The young man looks over to his nightstand and saw Alya on his screen.
"Oh please don't let this be another fight." Adrien muttered to himself before swiping the green button. "Hello!"
"Hey, is Marinette with you, she's not answering her phone." Alya said. Marinette takes the phone out of Adrien's hand, The young woman presses the device to her ear:
"Hello?" Marinette asked.
"Girl, the Mayor wants to see you." Alya said. "He's been pestering your mom all day."
"Ugh, I can't get a break." Marinette growled. "I will be there soon. Just keep an eye on that man okay."
"No problem." Alya said. Marinette sighed before giving Adrien back his phone. She then strips her wet shirt off before walking over to Adrien's closet. Being Adrien, she knew he had some clothes for her in case this kind of stuff happens. She pulls a pair of grey jeans and a small shirt that looked to belong to Adrien. The young woman throws the clothes on before giving Adrien a kiss goodbye. She then hops into one of his cars and was driven home. Once in town, she heads straight to her home where she found the Mayor sitting in her living room having tea with her mother. Sabine looked tired and confused.
"Marinette?" Sabine spoke. Marinette was about to say hi to her mother, but the older woman walks away before she could say something. Once gone, the mayor looks over to Marinette with a smile on his face.
"Sit, we need to talk." He ordered the young lady. She sits right in front of the old man.
"Hello Mayor, nice of you to visit me after what you did." Marinette said as she pulls her phone from her pocket, she looks down to see a message from Kim about a club. But she ignores the message before setting her phone on the table. She then stares up at the man in black.
"Marinette, I would like to apologise for what happened two days ago. I did not realize I had upset you."
"Oh, you have done a lot to me." Marinette said with a smile on her face.
"I see, Nathan told me you're a bit stubborn." The mayor said. "I am going to cut this short." He said as he pulls out an open envelope with the American College logo Marinette had applied too. He pulls the paper within the envelope and reads: "Marinette I am glad to inform you that you have been accepted into our junior class of 2018 with a full scholarship."
"Where did you get that!?" Marinette growled as she stood up from her seat. "Were you going through my mail!?"
"That's not the point."
"That is the fucking point! How dare you go snooping through my mail like you pay my house rent!" Marinette shouted.
"SILENCE!" The mayor shouted at the woman. Marinette closes her mouth, glaring daggers at the chubby man.
"Marinette, you are a kind, talented and smart young woman."
"Thanks." Marinette responded.
"Which is why I came here to ask you to take Nathan back." The mayor spoke.
"You want Nathan and I to get back together, are you insane?"
"I understand you two don't have a good history together."
"Good? The fucker hits me!"
"We all make mistakes."
"Yea, yours was coming here!" Marinette shouted. "Get back with Nathan, you must have lost your fucking mind!"
"Listen girl!" The mayor shouted. "I want to make a deal with you. If you get back with Nathan, I will give your friends back their school credits and help them myself leave this town for good."
"And me?" Marinette asked.
"You stay here and have a kid with Nathan."
"That's not happening." Marinette said as she rose to her feet. "I love Adrien, not Nathan."
"I understand your lust for that boy, but you must realize that Nathan loves you."
"He loves his ego." Marinette responded as she takes a seat on her couch again. The chubby man sighed as she looks straight at the girl big blue eyes.
"So you're willing to give up your friends college credits, something they worked so hard for, just for your own need." The man said. Marinette crosses her arms and glared at him. She looked like a pissed of teenager girl, only deep down inside, she was crying.
"What the hell is wrong with this man?" Marinette thought to herself. "I mean, if Ayla, Adrien, and Nino can get out of this town...but Adrien. He just started to open up to me, he started to love me like a normal person. I can't do this to him, but I can't ruin his future either.
"Why are you doing this?" Marinette asked.
"What?"
"Why are you doing this to me? Why aren't you letting me leave this town, why are you trying everything in your fiber to keep me in?" Marinette asked. Her stern strong look turned into that of a scared girl. The male in front of her stands up from the couch, adjusting his suit, walks towards the window of her living room. It was a large window that was big enough to light the whole room. It gave the Mayor a good view of a small portion of the town, he stares down at the beauty of his home before responding:
"Marinette, I hate people like you." He said, making the girl's eyes widen in shock and fear. "The young think they rule this world, take our jobs and destroy everything we old worked so hard for. That is you Marinette!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Your high spirit attitude, your endless talent, and your ongoing goal of leaving this town. It's a disease Marinette, a virus that is spreading to the young generation! Just yesterday Alix talked to her mom about going out of town to attend a concert, on a school night! I nearly had a heart attack! And the Kim, he talks about becoming a WWE wrestler and leaving the country! This is all your fault Marinette!"
"I am confused."
"you inspire impure thoughts into these young boys and girls! Make them want to leave the town, not want to worship the Lord and worse, not stay pure!" The mayor growled. "I blame you!" He shouted at the young woman. Marinette stands up from her seat before shouting out:
"What!? For people actually wanting to leave this shit hole! For them wanting to do anything else in their life that didn't revolve around your way of living!?" Marinette shouted.
"How dare you speak to me like that! You sin!"
"There it is! There's the fucking man that runs this shit of town! The man that told everyone, my moms, a tart after she got raped! The man who has made my life a living breathing hell! You are scared of change old man, and I am telling you this, I will not be FUCKING Nathan!" Marinette shouted. "And I swear to the heavens if you ever threaten me again I will end you!"
"You spoiled brat, I will ruin you! Starting with your mother!" The chubby man shouted at the blue-haired girl. Marinette eyes of anger soften to that of a scared child. The mayor saw this, an idea appear in his head. Adjusting his tie, he smirks at Marinette.
"Oh, I see now." He started. "You're strong when it comes to protecting your mother, you would do anything to protect her."
"Well, you did fuck over her life." Marinette growled in a calm manner.
"And I can do it again." The man said. "Unless you do as I say."
"You bastard." Marinette growled. "My mom had suffered enough, whatever problem you have you deal with me!"
"True, but why fight when I can use your mom." He said. The young woman crosses her arms as she glared at the woman. She nods her head at his words.
"Deal." She said.
"What?"
"I know what you can do, and I rather not watch my mom suffer. Just give my friends back their credits and leave my mom alone." Marinette said. The chubby smiles as he adjusts his tie, he stands up from the couch.
"You are making the BEST decision of your life in this town." The man said. The word town stuck with Marinette for a few seconds.
"Town…" She thought to herself. "No, this is for your friends and your mom! You're doing this for them, to protect them and get them out of this hellhole once and for all!" She shouted to herself. But for the first time in her life, the words didn't stick. In fact, the word down didn't send shivers up her spine, what it did was piss her off beyond words. As the mayor walks over to the door, Marinette felt this surge of anger and courage that she never felt before in her life. Expect when she entered the Akuma for the first time.
"You know sir, I don't mind hooking back up with Nathan, but I don't know how Chat Noir would act." Marinette said with a smirk on her face. The mayor removed his hand from the knob. Turning his head slowly, he saw the young blue haired woman smiling at him.
"What did you say?"
"You heard me." Marinette responded. "By me dating Nathan, it means I can't spend as much time with Chat then I normally do. And that would make my kitten so sad."
"So you are having sex with that demon." The mayor growled. "I knew it! You are doing acts of sin!"
"That's right, this creation of sin enjoys performing sinful acts with her kitten. And I would be so glad if you told the whole town about my sex life. Because you know what, I don't care!"
"You will forget about that boy and you will get back with Nathan." The mayor shouted at her. A small vein could be seen over his right eye, it was twitching in annoyance. The young woman had just found his weak spot.
"And I said I am willing to do so. I just can't imagine how Chat will take it."
The man walks up to Marinette in a hurry, his hand ball up into a fist. He looked like he was about to attack the young woman. His face was red with anger; his eyes became bloodshot red and he sweating a puddle. Marinette heart was racing at the image before her, she didn't know if he would attack or not. But she was preparing her body for a hit.
"Shut up!" He growled. "You will become a mother by the end of this year, do you understand me!?"
"Of course." Marinette said with a smirk on her face. "I am pretty sure Chat's seeds move extremely fast." Marinette said with a smirk on her face. The man raises his hand then slams it down on the coffee table in anger. Marinette body was shaking in fear at what she had just seen, but kept her mouth shut. The large man looks over his shoulder, staring down at Marinette for a bit before fixing his suit and tie.
"Next week, I am going to make a public announcement about your engagement. And you will create a speech informing the young of sinful acts and how they hurt you."
"Go ahead, where do I start?" Marinette asked. "The part where the mayor threatens my mother, or the part where he wants me to marry some jerk off? You pick!"
"YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME AND MARRY NATHAN!" The mayor shouted. "I will make you see that one way or another."
"I will never bend for you; do you understand me." Marinette spoke. "I will leave, one way or another."
"Bitch…" The mayor grumbled as he walks out of Marinette living room. A cold sweat ran down the side of her eye as she begins to hyperventilate.
"Oh my god, what have I done?"
"You agreed to what!?" Adrien shouted at Marinette. After her little fight with the Mayor, Marinette went straight back to Adrien to inform him of what just happened. She was expecting him to be proud of her, but instead, she just got a pissed off reaction.
"I thought you'd be proud of me?" Marinette muttered as she looks to the ground. The blonde in front of her sighed at her words.
"Marinette I love, more than anything in this world." Adrien started. "But you can't just throw my name around like its a common word. That town hates me, what if the Mayor decided to tell everyone? You constantly be in danger from some upset parent!"
"I didn't think of that."
"Plus, your fucking both Adrien and Chat Noir, how the hell do you think people are going to look at you now?" Adrien asked.
"Well, I did cheat on Nathan for you." She said. She looks up at him with her big blue bell eyes that could melt his stone cold heart. He couldn't stay mad at his bugaboo, let alone forgive the mayor for threatening his future mother in law!
"I can't believe he said that to you, that coward is ruining your life." Adrien growled.
"I know right, and then he had the nerve to drag you three down with him. I don't get why he hates me so much?" Marinette asked. Adrien looks down to his feet in sadness. His fierce green eyes turn dull and sad at the realization of what needed to be done, or morally what needed to be said. He takes a seat next to her on the bed she was sitting on. He gently rubs the tip of his index finger against her upper lip before leaning his head forward to kiss her. A soft gentle kiss that was an amazing feeling to him. But the kiss was short lived as he removed her lip from his.
"Marinette." He spoke. "I need to tell you something...and I beg you, please don't hate me."
"What's wrong?" Marinette asked.
"I think...I think that maybe your life is horrible because of me." Adrien said. "Remember when I told you I was raped by my uncle?"
"Yea..."
The blonde male next to her takes a deep breath as he tries to find the words to say to the love of his life. The courage that he needs came, but only a small trickle of it. His trembling lips separate before saying: "My uncle name is Bourgeois, and his daughter was Chloe." Adrien spoke.
"What?" Marinette asked as her eyes widen.
"The mayor is my uncle, my father's brother and my rapist."
"How...why...what!?" Marinette was confused, she could not find the words right now to say to her boyfriend. All Adrien just did was chuckle at her reaction.
"Yea, this is weird, I haven't told anyone about this in years. But yes, the Mayor is my uncle and Chloe is my cousin."
"Then why do you still go to that town!?"
"Legal issue's, see my dad never had custody of me." Adrien explained. "The reason why my uncle never went to jail is because my dad never told the jury about it. When my mother died, the law saw fit to take me away from my father. In a state of panic, he gave me to my uncle so that he could keep me in a way. But after the rape happened, my dad started to panic, so I bluntly lied on the stand and said he never touched me. My uncle then dragged me to the town."
"So...you and Chloe are-cousin/adopted siblings, yes I know." Adrien growled. "Sadly to say this drama boat hasn't landed yet. Marinette...the rapes didn't stop till I was 16."
"What?" Marinette thought. "And I thought I had it tough. No wonder he acts the way he does..."
"I can tell my expression your confused."
"Why didn't you go to your father?" Marinette asked. "Why didn't you come to me!? Or Nino, or Alya!?"
"Because I know my dad would kill Bourgeois. I saw him almost do it once, I can't let him do it again. And you, he hates you!" Adrien shouted. "He hates you, Alya and Nino because your parents almost left the town. He has some creepy addiction to keeping people in the town, it's disturbing!" Adrien shouted. "The only reason why your not working full time at your mom's bakery is that I kept laying on my back as a child."
"Why would you do that!?" Marinette shouted.
"Because I didn't want you three to get hurt!" Adrien shouted at the girl. He stood up from the bed as tears ran down his cheek. Both his hands were on his head, gripping his blonde locks as he cried. "One time he...he made me watch men break into Alya house! He told me if I didn't blow him... he would make watch them rape Alya and her mom! I still remember the full video, how Alya was screaming her head as she tries to break free from the men that were holding her down. As her father kept begging them to stop ripping her and her mother's clothes off. I couldn't say no at the time! He's done horrible things!"
Adrien stands in the middle of the room crying and muttering words that Marinette could not understand. The young woman stands up from the bed, walking over to him, she wraps her arms around his neck. Pulling his body close to hers, she lets the male cry on her shoulders.
"All my life, I thought I was the one who had bad when it came to this town." Marinette thought. "Now I see I was wrong, it was you Adrien. You took all the bullets when I was complaining about the noise. I will get you out of this."
*RING*
Adrien cell phone buzzing broke the young man from his moment of sadness. His attention went straight to the phone that was buzzing out of his pocket. Marinette watches the young man answer his cell phone with a blank expression.
"Hello?" Adrien asked.
"Uh, Adrien, is your father home?" A voice called. The voice did sound familiar but it didn't seem like a voice she known of.
"No, he's at the club tonight, why?" Adrien asked.
"Oh master, turn on the TV!" The voice shouted. Adrien walks out the room, heading towards the living room, he turns on the TV to see the local News standing in front of Akuma nightclub. Or what's left of it, the building was just ashes and smoke from the view of the camera. Marinette mouth went agape as her eyes widen in shock and fear. Adrien looked to remain calm, but deep down inside his heart was racing.
"What's happened?" Adrien asked in a calm voice.
"There was a fire in the bathroom, we were able to evacuate everyone before it spread."
"What about the fire alarm system?" Adrien asked.
"The rescue says that the smoke detector was cut off from the system. Which means someone must tamper with it! We literally had to check up two days ago!"
"And my dad?"
"We can't find him." The voice said. Adrien takes a deep breath as he nods his head.
"Okay, I will come over there soon. Just come home after checking if everything is okay." Adrien said. Marinette watches the blonde male grip his phone as he sighs. She was shocked that he wasn't breaking down in rage.
"What happened?" Marinette asked.
"Someone burned the club down." Adrien growled. "Someone burned my fucking club to the ground!"
"Did anyone get hurt?"
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" Adrien shouted at her. His bangs created a shadow over his eyes as he crushes his cell phone in hand. "I will find and destroy that fucker!"
"Is your dad okay?" Marinette asked.
"FUCK!" Adrien shouted. "MY DADDY!?"
"Oh calm down."
A familiar voice said. The two young adults turn their heads to see a Gabriel, still in his Hawkmoth costume without the mask, walking into the room with his cane in hand. Behind him was Nat, dressed in a sexy Alice in wonderland type of costume. The two older adults seemed perfectly fine.
"Oh my god, are you two okay!?" Adrien asked with worry.
"Were fine, we were able to evacuate people before the came in contact with the gas heater." Gabriel explained.
"Is that how the fire spread?" Marinette asked.
"That's what turned that building into ashes. By the way, the insurance does cover fires." Gabriel explained.
"That's not the point!" Adrien shouted.
"What is the point?" Gabriel asked.
"Someone purposely burned my club to the ground. My first club, my most popular club, my number one financial provider is gone!" Adrien shouted.
"Oh, ignore the fact that people, especially your father, almost died." Marinette muttered.
"My dad is not an idiot, he has survived worse." Adrien growled at his girlfriend.
"He's not lying." Gabriel said. "Look Adrien, some people were injured in the fire."
"Send me their bills, I will pay for the damages." Adrien said.
"That's not the only problem we have."
"Oh god, there is more!?" Adrien growled. "What could possibly be worse right now!?"
"A large group of kids from the town were taken into custody by the town's police." Nat explained.
"Why did that happened?" Adrien asked. Marinette gasped as she remembered something important.
"Alya went to the club tonight!" Marinette shouted.
"Wait, what?"
"Kim invited her and Nino and some of our classmates to the club!" Marinette shouted.
"Oh yea." Adrien said. He looked down at his broken phone. He then throws it in the garbage as his scratches his head. "I remember getting the invite, but I didn't read it."
"He invited everyone in our math class to sneak out and go to the club with him."
"Ugh, that fucking moron!" Adrien shouted. Both Gabriel and Nat stared at the two young adults in confusion.
"But that wouldn't explain how they all got arrested." Nat said.
"It would, Kim's dad is the sheriff of the town and a major computer wiz. Kim's dad is known for tracking his son in some sort of way." Adrien explained. "This one time when I was at his house playing games, his dad was able to cut the PS4 off because the game was too violent. He was in America when he did that too!"
"Well, then this is going to get worse, because the mayor just called an emergency meeting. He is going to expose those kids to the public." Gabriel explained.
"Aw dammit!" Adrien shouted. "This is not my day!"
"Yours and mine both." Marinette muttered. "Adrien we need to get them out of there, who knows what he will do to them."
"Expunge all their college credits?" Gabriel asked. "Oh wait that's already been done."
"Exactly!?" Marinette said. "Knowing that crazy fucker, he WILL do something horrible to them! Especially Nino and Alya!"
"But won't it seem odd for Adrien to bail these kids out for no reason." Nat said.
"true..." Adrien said. A Cheshire smile appears on his face as an idea crawls into his head.
"But Chat Noir doesn't need a reason."
