Worried

Adrien POV.

She's avoiding me, that much I know. It's been about a week since I've been able to spend any real time with Marinette.

She's been acting strange ever since the photoshoot with Veronica. On the way back she didn't speak to me once and when we got to the mansion she said she wasn't feeling to well and ran to her room.

I had planned to go by her room later to check on her but then I saw Alya going down the hall towards Marinette's room and I assumed she had called her over for a girl's night or something.

Then the next day I didn't see her for breakfast, we usually ate together in the mornings. It was the first time I've eaten alone since she moved in with us.

When I came back from my fencing practice Natalie told me that Marinette barely left her room all day and that had me worried. So I went to her door and its like she didn't want me around at all.

As the week carried on I would often pass her in the hallway I'd greet her and she would mumble a "hi" and then rush right pass me. Every time I try to suggest for us to do something together she would mumble an excuse of why she couldn't.

I sat in my room wondering what could have cause her to suddenly act this way.

Have I done something to upset her..and if so what was it? Should I apologize even though I have no idea what I did?

My brain was going a mile a minute and it was giving me a headache...that and the fact that my room stunk of cheese because of Plagg.

"You look upset." He said nonchalantly while snacking on another piece of cheese.

"I just want to know what's going on with Marinette." I replied.

"She seemed fine to me last night."

Last night I had visited Marinette as Chat. I was hoping I could get some insight on what might have been going on with her.

Last night ~

"Hello princess~." I flashed a grin as I entered through the window.

She looked up at me suprised to see me at first but gave me a smile anyway.

"Hi Chat..is something wrong?" She gave a look of slight concern.

She sat down her laptop on the table and turned the screen the opposite way.

"Oh nothings wrong with me." I assured her. "Although I wanted to know if you were doing alright?"

"What makes you think something is wrong?" She tilted her head in confusion and I couldn't help thinking how cute that was.

"Well I've seen you around and you look kind of...down lately. Your always deep in thought you."

She looked away from me for a moment. "I just got a lot on my mind. I had to accept something lately."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

She shot me a smirk. "I didn't think the famous Chat Noir would care much about little ole me."

I copied her smirk. "Well princess, as your knight in shining leather I have to make sure nothings troubling you."

She giggled and it was one of the sweetest sounds I've heard all week. I haven't gotten to see her smile like that in awhile.

"Besides." I continued. "If something's bothering you I want to do want I can to help. We're friend's right?"

She blinked at me and gave me another smile. "Yeah...we are. Thanks kitty"

I felt my grin get wider. "No problem Princess."

"Oh where are my manners." She exclaimed. "I'm going to go stop by the kitchen and get us some drinks. Any request?"

"Anythings fine." I replied

"Okay. I'll be right back." With that she exited the room.

I looked around for a moment. She had unpacked more of her stuff months ago and she had fashion supplies and mannequins displayed in certain parts of the room.

The room was very Marinette and her scent was know known from her being in here for so long now.

I looked at her table to see the laptop.

What was she doing just now anyway?

Curiosity took over as I turned the laptop my way and pressed a key to reveal the screen.

There was a picture of a man. He had brown hair and eyes and he wore a suit in the photo. He had broad shoulders and a strong jaw.

My eyes went to the right side of the screen which showed information about the man.

Michael?

I clicked on the envelope button and noticed that she had been sending messages to whoever this 'Michael' guy.

'See you soon' i read the last message from the stranger.

Who the hell...

Suddenly the laptop snapped shut in front of me. When i looked up to see Marinette. I expected her to be angry but she looked embarrassed overall as her cheeks took a shade of red.

"I brought the drinks." She blurted as she handed me one.

"Uh...thanks." I took a cup from her and she sat next to me drinking her own.

We sat there in silence for awhile drinking our cups.

"So..." I tried breaking the silence. "What was that on the laptop."

She didn't look at me. "Curiousity killed the cat you know?"

I grinned. "Ah...yes but satisfaction brought it back."

She shook her head and gave a smile but then it disappeared.

"I trust you Chat and I know that your just looking out for me, but I don't want to talk about it right now. I'll tell you one day but not today..."

I nodded. "I understand. Whenever your ready."

I took her hand and gave it a quick kiss. "I'll always be there for you princess. Even if you don't know its me."

She took her hand away giving me another smile. "Silly cat.'

Flashback end~

Even though she agreed to tell me soon it worried me what she might be getting into that had her embarrassed and sending mysterious messages to some random guy.

I've never seen that guy on the computer before. Who was he?

I heard the sound of heels walking in the hall. Probably Nathalie.

I went to the door to tell her goodnight. To see that it wasn't Nathalie.

Right there was Marinette. In a green dress that fit her form perfectly, wearing green pumps. Her hair was down and curled which was something I didn't see often.

She looked amazing...

.and scared as she looked at me with wide eyes.

"Marinette?"
