Marinette's POV

"Wow, you're even more pathetic than I thought."

I grit my teeth, pulling on a jacket to hide the cuts.

"To what to I owe the pleasure, Lila?"

"I was just wondering how much longer you think you can keep this up. I mean, no one wants you here. Why don't you just do us all a favor and die?"

"Aww! I'm so glad my existence affects you so much! Why else would you waste your time with little old me? If you don't care, then you wouldn't threaten me. Admit it. You're scared."

"Of what?" She asks as if there's nothing, but I see the fear flash through her eyes.

"How much power the truth holds over you. Because both of us know when they find out, they won't want anything to do with you, and they'll come crawling back to me. It's just a shame that by the time that rolls around, I might not care enough to forgive them. Or you. Watch your back, bitch. The show's only just begun."

With that I walk out, pretending to be more confident than I am.

My victory doesn't last very long, though. I walk straight into Adrien's chest. He grabs my waist to steady me.

"Hey, you okay?"

"I'm fine." I brush him off, refusing to meet his eyes. I don't need him to see my guilt.

"Then why won't you look at me?"

"I said, 'I'm fine,' Adrien. Let it go." Before he can reply, the bell rings. I walk away from him, headed towards class, hoping things won't get much worse. I can only imagine how Lila will use this against me.

Instead of going into class, I head to the roof. I need a minute to myself (and Tikki). Upon reaching the roof, Tikki comes out of my bag.

"What did she see? Did she get pictures?"

"She saw you wipe your smeared make up and fix it, but I don't think she saw the cuts. She did have her phone out, but I didn't see a picture taken."

"So, she probably recorded the conversation again. Whatever. As long as she didn't see the cuts, I can't get in trouble."

"Is that what you think?" I hear a male voice behind me and swallow before turning around.

"A-Adrien…" he stalks toward me, grabs my wrist and yanks my sleeve up. Before I can even process what's happening, he has me bent over the ledge, my stomach pressed into the stone as he brings his hand down on my ass. I yelp in a mix of pain and pleasure. He does this nine more times for a total of ten, and I am positively dripping. He quickly spins me around, gets down on his knees and, rather than go down on me as I expect, holds my injured arm out in front of me and begins kissing each of my cuts individually. My eyes burn at the sweetness of it. When he completes his route, he speaks.

"Marinette, please. You have to stop this." I break down as he pulls me into his arms and gently rocks me. "I love you so much, and it hurts when they get to you." I sob and clutch him.

"We need to find something else for you to do when it gets too much. I don't care if you hit me, if you cry, or if I need to get on my knees and pleasure you until you forget your own name, but we need to do something."

At the mention of pleasuring me, my pussy resumes it's aching for his touch. I slowly calm down in his arms, grab his hand, and bring it under my skirt. He chuckles under his breath as he feels how wet I am.

"While I'm sure you're not about to hurt yourself, I guess I could take care of this," he says, sliding my underwear to the side. He walks me backwards to the ledge so I have something to help support me as he kneels. "We gotta make this one fast, though, we're late for class."

As soon as the words leave his lips, he dives in. Not wasting any time, he latches onto my clit and sucks hard while rapidly thrusting his fingers. I reach a climax faster than ever before, crying out his name.

"Adrien!"

"Shhh!" he laughs against me. "Someone's going to find us."

I'm panting too hard to acknowledge that as he stands up. I yank him to me and press my lips to his. I can taste myself as I press my body against his, feeling his hardness against me.

"Mari." I grunt against his lips and try to keep kissing him. "Mar. We have to go to class." I groan against his chest.

"I don't wanna." I whisper.

"If you do, either Cat or I will give you a reward later."

"…like what?"

He smirks and winks before starting to walk away.

"Anything you want."
