Marinette

A/N: So, I rewatched the New York Special. This was the probably the 16th time and if you listen closely, Marinette says, "Sure, I'll sit next to my husband I mean friend." Like no joke. It was after Alya said something about Marinette sitting next to Adrien for a long flight. Re watch the special and listen closly, I promise she said it.

Now onto the chapter.

So, Marinette before Chat. I'm still trying to get over the special after watching it 10 times in 38 hours. I'm not lying.

I don't know how I feel about it but, it does give me something to watch while season four is being postponed.

This chapter will include Chat Blanc because it chronologically was the last akuma.

Now, this is Marinette's POV on her feelings for Adrien in the special and my theory of why she was trying to get over him.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Adrien was a very good friend to me. I wanted to be more but, after the horrible incident that I created that almost wiped out the entire world, Chat Blanc, I realized that I can't stand fighting him. I realized everything and, while in New York, I realized that I love him. When he gave up his miraculous, I realized that I can't do this without him. He was just one of the things that kept me fighting.

The only reason that I didn't say anything to Adrien when he left is because I didn't know what to say. I was thinking about how Chat quit at the time but, when Alya said all those things to me, I just realized that even if I still can't get over Adrien, having him as a friend is the best thing in the world. Riding that bike as fast as I could in the pouring rain, another realization hit me, I may not even have him as a friend when we get back home.

"My father's right, I should have never come to New York." He said before he got into the car. As I yelled for him to stay, I fell off the bike and into the soaking wet pavement.

In tears of losing both Chat and Adrien, I spent the rest of the night wandering around the city. Plagg kept on talking about how he shouldn't have let him leave while Tikki kept asking me if I were ok and trying to comfort me.

Uncanny Valley showed and told me that New York was in danger and Hawk Moth was there. "I don't think I can do it. I can't imagine being Ladybug without, him." I told her. She offered to give his Miraculous back. She did it and brought Chat Noir back to me. I gave him a hug and he said that he couldn't bear to see me disappointed. I squeezed him tighter.

When we got home, I told him everything, mostly everything. I told him that I love him. We kissed and watched the stars slowly appear. When I got home, all I could think about was Adrien and what happened. I don't know if he's mad at me or sad that he had to go. Something was different on that trip. It was like, he had something in his eyes, everything he looked at me that wasn't there before. It could have been that I was trying to get over him or it was just me.

The only reason I was trying to get over Adrien was because I was falling for Chat. It was weird but it was true. He has never given up on me and Adrien only sees me as a friend. That's all I'll ever be in his eyes.

When Adrien left, there was this moment. It was after Chat Noir gave me his miraculous, I saw Chat. I saw him. It was like a plot second, I thought I was going crazy but, there was this lighting strike that light is face up and this crash of thunder and I saw him. I jumped when I noticed it but then I was overwhelmed with sadness as I was reminded of the partner I didn't have.

The next day at school, Adrien had his head looking down. He looked sad as he got out of his car. I spread up and walked up to him. "Adrien, can we talk?" Adrien looked at me.

"What do you want to talk about?" I didn't know what it was but there was something in his voice that seemed off.

"Can we sit down first?" We sat down in the steps. I turned to face Adrien. "Adrien, I'm sorry about what happened in New York. It was just, something happened between me and a friend. I can't really talk about it but it got me thinking and had my mind wondering. I couldn't think straight and when you left, Alya said something about me wanting me to tell you to stay." I looked into his eyes and they had the same look in them that they had before. There was a glimmer of something but I couldn't make it out. "After, I was trying to reach your car to tell you to stay because, Adrien, you're one of my closest friends and I can't lose you. What I'm trying to say is I'm sorry." His eyes looked almost understanding as his expression softened.

"Marinette, you're amazing and I would have loved to stay in New York with you. Yes I was waiting for you to tell me to stay. I was also having some trouble with someone. I only said that I should have never come to New York because I got into a major argument with an old friend. I felt like it was because I was in New York. I was waiting for you to tell me to stay because then maybe it would have felt like that I should have come. I'm really sorry." I blushed a bit. He chalked me awesome. This was the best day of my life.

"Friends?" I asked him.

"Friends."

A/N: ok, so we are back to the "just a friend thing" with Marinette and Adrien just being friends.

Sorry Adrientte shippers.

I will have the second to last chapter out at least on Sunday. If not then either Monday, Wednesday or Friday so keep your eyes peeled those days.
