A/N: Added the missing breaks. I posted an authors note the other week letting you guys know that I was aware that the line breaks weren't there and that id be sure to add them into the future chapters so that there isn't any confusion...
I literally get 20+ Responses on that same chapter to tell me again that there were no line breaks, and now I'm wondering if you guys really read my authors notes...? ゚リᆳ
The blunette glanced at her phone in a haze. She was faintly aware of the drug smoke that engulfed both her and Alya in their entirety.
Marinette never really spent so much time at Alya's cozy little apartment, but the blunette always had the best time when she did make time to visit.
"Can you believe it?" Marinette asked, her nose scrunching at the smell of cannabis that lingered in the air between both women. "Audrey Bourgeois asked for me...by name...to interview for an internship at her headquarters!" The blunette blushed, clutching her phone close to her body. "Pinch me! I must be dreaming."
Alya pursed her lips, pushing the bud closer to Marinette before she held on to her pillow.
"And you're sure this has nothing to do with your last name being Agreste?" The young woman inquired, her brow perking with curiosity.
Marinette groaned, her lip pouting in her comrade's lack of enthusiasm and faith.
"Really, Alya?" Marinette sneered playfully, feigning the false hurt that she wanted to facade so badly. "You'd really think that the very popular Audrey Bourgeois would invite me to intern at her very prestigious business because of my last name and not because of my natural fashion designing prowess?" The blunette gasped her mouth agape as she did so.
Alya simply rolled her eyes at the gesture, a faint smile on her lips at her friends facade.
"I certainly don't doubt that she recognized you for your talent." The brunette conceded. "I'm just saying, you having married into the Agreste family may have been a perk."
Marinette playfully pout her bottom lip, setting her phone to the side as she casually reached for the bud that had been lit against the ash tray.
"You can't just pretend that you're happy for me?" She asked before layering it between her lips and taking an awkward drag.
Marinette scrunched her face, feeling the cannabis smoke fill her lungs and she immediately coughed.
Alya furrowed her brow, shaking her head with a genuine smile.
"Why do you try smoking this stuff, if it's so obvious you're gonna choke on it?" The brunette inquired, resting her elbow on the back of the sofa.
Marinette cleared her throat, her eyes watering as she placed it back on to the ash tray with a deep blush.
"Because..." the blunette mumbled, coughing again. "I'm gonna be old and I just don't want to die without trying it."
Alya chortled at Marinette's response, the female waving her hand in her face to clear out the smoke.
"Why the rush though? It's not like you're going to see a unicorn emerge from the sky during your first high. It'll just feel more like eating." Alya explained, shifting her weight. "Is this just another one of those spontaneous decisions you've been making lately?"
Marinette blew the smoke into the air, her chest heaving as she coughed once more before offering Alya a sheepish glance.
"I think the most reckless thing I've ever done in my entire life is agree to marry Adrien Agreste because I was worried his father would sue my parents for not fulfilling the contract and I couldn't bear to see my parents lose everything they had because I couldn't put my pride aside..." Marinette pressed her lips together, her mouth feeling dry from the weed.
"You're a saint." Alya teased, watching Marinette reach over for the bottle of fruit juice on the table. "I salute you-"
Marinette hummed promptly, pressing the bottle to her lips and taking a large gulp.
"I can't be a hero." The blunette breathed, sealing the bottle closed and leaned into the sofa. "Though I truly try to be..."
Alya leaned into the sofa with her a small smile spreading her her lips at Marinette's blush.
"Aw c'mon-" she teased. "It can't be all that bad being married to Adrien. I think you've realised the perks now..."
Marinette felt her heart squeeze in her chest.
True, there were some perks of being married to Adrien, but it was more so that she actually got him to look at her, it had nothing to do with the publicity that came with his last name.
It was true that he loved someone else, but Marinette felt foolish to crave that aspect of him looking at her and only her.
"I think I'm part of the problem..." Marinette sighed, her hand reaching up to rub against her warm cheek. The blunette kept her gaze down towards the drink in her hand.
Alya blinked, her eyes following Marinette as she shied away from her.
"What do you mean by that, boo?" She asked, her brow perking as she reached under Marinette's chin and guided her trajectory to her own.
Marinette sighed, a deep blush coating her cheeks as Alya guaged her to look her in the eye.
She wandered if it was a good idea to just simply admit it. Alya was her friend, Marinette knew she could trust her.
"I mean...you were right before..." Marinette shrugged, glancing up at Alya with a pounding heart.
"I'm in love with my husband."
Alya furrowed her brow, the tension growing so deep in her face that the vein in her forehead protruded.
"Wait...you're in love with Adrien?"
Marinette glanced down quickly, her fingers playing with the lid on her bottle. The blunette grew incredibly red, unsure how to answer the question despite her having already admitted it.
Alya's mouth fell open, her heart racing at Marinette's reaction. The silence and her fluster told all of it
"Oh my God-" Alya breathed, her eyes remaining on Marinette. "OH MY GOD!"
Marinette widened her eyes, her blood pushing through her veins at a rapid and painful pace.
"Alya please-" Marinette shushed, the blush on her cheeks only growing more and more dark. "Please don't freak out..."
Alya chortled, a wide smile on her face as she clamped her hand over her mouth.
"I knew it. I asked you the other day and you told me no!"
Marinette placed her hand over her face, almost wanting to cower behind her palm and disappear completely.
"I...I didn't know what to say at that time. I knew I felt something but I just assumed it was a small crush and that it would go away. I've been making so many terrible decisions lately and the other night I came on to him and-"
"You came on to him?!" Alya interjected, her voice screeching as she couldn't quite believe what she was hearing. "What?!"
Marinette widened her eyes, her cheeks growing incredibly read as she only dug herself deeper and deeper into a hole.
"I-It was an accident! We were drunk and we just...we just started d-d-dry h-humping-" Marinette gulped, the sound of her own voice saying such things rung in her ears.
Alya gasped, a wide smile on her face as she plopped back down on to the sofa.
"Marinette- he has a girlfriend! Did you guys tell her?"
Marinette grimaced, shaking her head as her blush began to consume her face.
"I know...he has a girlfriend." The blunette breathed. "I haven't told his girlfriend, but I know that if and when she finds out, she'd like rip both my tits off and castrate Adrien. I can tell you that it will not be done with mercy."
Alya shook her head, her fingers pressing into her temples as both women remained in silence to one another.
"Damn..." she murmured, breaking the silence between the two of them.
"What is with you and this bad luck regarding the Agrestes?"
Marinette shrugged, glancing down at the bottle in her hand.
"I'm not sure..." the blunette grimaced, taking her lip between her teeth as she wondered if it was a good idea to bring up the fact that Felix had been cheating on her this entire time.
"But I thought that Luka would be good for me..." Marinette conceded, her voice low as she tried to push the thought of her feelings for Adrien to the back of her mind. "I thought maybe when we go on our first date, things would go smoothly...perhaps we might actually become official?" Marinette mused, almost feeling too unsure of herself.
She wondered if it was a good idea to start a serious relationship, especially because her dating history and the men she chose were less than impressive.
"Is that a good idea?" Alya asked in a soft murmur, her eyes moving up to glance at Marinette. "I mean you've already established that you had feelings for Adrien. Don't you think it's a little unfair to use Luka to forget about your feelings for Adrien? Luka really seems like he likes you... I'm sure that would hurt him."
Marinette sighed, her soul nearly feeling like it had fallen from her body.
"I-I'm not using Luka..." she dejected, her heart sinking at the thought of hurting Luka. "I just thought it would be a better idea to give him a chance. I want to like Luka and I think he's a really awesome guy. Adrien is just my friend and he's in love with his girlfriend, I have no intention to make Adrien anything more than my friend whereas with Luka I want something more than a friendship with him." The blunette reached up to rub the back of her neck as the smell of marijuana made her throat burn just a little.
"I just...think it would be a nicer approach if Luka and I took it slow. I've been in a really serious relationship and I don't think I want to immediately rush into another right now." She pressed her lips together, keeping her gaze away from Alya with a solemn expression. "I feel guilty enough that I haven't even told him about Adrien yet."
Alya shook her head, exhaling as she glanced up at the ceiling.
"Damn...when summer started I recall vividly that I was bitching about you being kept in your apartment all day and not meeting people since your fallout with Felix. Now, here we are nearly two months in and you've got two men on your shoulders." The brunette grinned, crossing her arms gently as she glanced over at Marinette.
"You're like a totally different person since then, I mean I always knew you were a total babe-but I didn't know you'd be caught between two men." She bit her lip. "And I am loving it."
Marinette rolled her eyes at her friend, she placed her bottle of juice back on to the table and reached for the wrap up before she layered it between her lips and attempted another inhale.
The blunette blushed deeply, coughing as she placed it back on the ashtray and her chest began to itch just a little.
"I'm a little less than thrilled. I mean I'd call it a harem as a joke but it's really a fucked up mess." Marinette sighed, leaning back into Alya's sofa as her blue eyes trailed back up towards the ceiling. The female pursed her lips in thought, her digits lightly running against the fabric of the furniture beneath her.
"Messy isn't always bad~" Alya mused, leaning against the back of the sofa and bringing her fingertips to Marinette's hair. Her digits laced around her dark locks and drew them away from her ear.
Marinette shrugged.
"At this point, we all minus well take showers together. I'd make out with Adrien, he turns, fucks Kagami and I'd be standing there like an awkward grandmother hoping they'd be safe. If I'm lucky Luka would take a pass at me." Marinette chuckled, reaching up to rub her eyes and cringe at how awful she sounded.
Alya hummed, her fingers looping through Marinette's hair.
"That sounds kinda hot..." she giggled, biting her lip. "Do you think you're Kagami's type? Maybe she could have a go at you while Luka and Adrien get to it." She teased, wiggling her brows playfully.
Marinette snorted, shaking her head and glancing at Alya with a subtle blush.
"No...not really. I think Kagami would probably choke me rather than have sex with me..." the blunette confessed. "Definitely not her type..."
It was an entertaining idea, but Marinette had to admit Kagami wouldn't be her type either.
"Like...erotic asphyxiation?" Alya asked, perking a brow. "She'd definitely have you right where she wants you."
"-and that would be dead." Marinette interjected with a laugh. "She would literally choke me dead. Especially if she knew that I slept in the same bed with Adrien and dry humped him that night we both got drunk and signed our marriage license."
Alya drew back, her head shaking as she allowed her words to soak in.
"You're not wrong..." she sighed, closing her eyes and resting her cheek on the back of the sofa.
Marinette nodded, opening her bottle of juice and taking a sip as she was starting to feel a little hungry.
"I've decided to just focus on Luka..." Marinette sighed, glancing back over to Alya. "I mean...you've heard me sing and Adrien walked in on me singing...I don't really feel comfortable with singing...but if it's something he wants to do, I'm more than happy to try out this...duet thing..." her voice trailed off as she bit her lip.
Alya subtly nodded, her eyes remaining closed as she hummed softly in acknowledgement.
"Have you picked out a song you wanted to do?" She asked, her voice quivering as she stifled a yawn.
Marinette pressed her lips together, her heart aching in her chest as she thought about the song she wanted to sing.
She reached up, running her hands through her hair before she exhaled.
"Y-Yeah...I know what song I want to sing..."
Adrien glanced down at the text message Kagami had sent him. The male could very well feel the sun permeating through his shirt and on to his skin in such an intolerable heat. It almost made him incredulously vexatious.
The male sported his casual white shirt and black Jean's but it almost made him wish he wore something much more light.
The sun was almost painful as it irritated his tan skin.
His green eyes fixated on the text message and he very casually ran his hand through his silky blonde hair.
'Please come see me. I need you...'
He couldn't remember the last time he had gotten a message so urgent from Kagami. The male shifted his weight, taking his bottom lip between his teeth. He slid his other hand into his pocket and exhaled.
Adrien was usually well reserved and kept to himself, but damn lately she had him on his toes.
He glanced up at her apartment building, wondering what she needed him for this time. Adrien was already tired and he hadn't even started his day yet. He wasn't sure if he was up for whatever Kagami had up her sleeve.
The male placed his phone into his pocket, taking a deep breath before he let himself inside.
Kagami ran a hand through her dark hair. Her chest felt too heavy for her to hold and her stomach did flips in ways she wasn't used to.
There was an empty feeling deep inside of her and Kagami was desperate.
She was like an addict, she was rid of her fix and she felt as if she was going completely insane.
Her hand trembled as she clutched on to her phone, her heart ached in her chest and her mouth had gone significantly dry.
"Was it something that I did?" She asked, her phone pressed tautly to her ear. She pressed her lips together, her anxiety making her belly drop the moment she heard his voice on the other line.
"It wasn't anything you did-" the unknown male replied. "Things just change..." his voice trailed off the moment he heard Kagami's small cries.
"You promised...you said you wouldn't leave. You know I trusted you with so much..." Kagami heaved, tears swelling in her eyes as she knew that she couldn't lose him.
Sure, it was consuming her that she had both Adrien and her lover balanced out, but Kagami knew that she couldn't lose either of them.
"You can still trust me..." he replied, his voice strained from Kagami's anxiety. "I'm just saying that things have changed. We can't be seeing each other the way we have been."
"Why? What's wrong with the way we've been seeing each other?" Kagami asked, her voice quivering as she clutched on tighter.
"It's just...my life is changing and I need to start something new..." the male replied. "I'm sorry, Kagami. The times we had were fun but-"
"No!" Kagami interjected, her voice sharp as her rage had began to push through her veins. "You aren't sorry. You know that I need you! You know that you can't leave me-"
"Who can't leave you?" A soft voice emanated from behind her.
Kagami widened her eyes, her soul nearly jumping out from her body as she heard his voice.
The female quickly turned her head, facing the blonde who stood in her doorway completely confused.
Her heart thumped wildly in her chest, fear bubbling in her blood as she wondered how much of her conversation he had heard.
The young woman immediately pressed her finger into the end call button and she pressed her lips together, facing him with a red face as she tried to come up with the best excuse she could formulate.
"I...I was talking to my father...he wants to leave Paris for an important business trip." Kagami replied, her blush deepening under the freckles on her face.
Adrien blinked, feeling like he had just walked in a private conversation. Kagami sounded like she was in distress and Adrien couldn't shake this feeling that something was wrong.
"A-Are you sure?" The model asked, his green eyes glancing into Kagami's dark orbs. "You look like you've been crying..."
Adrien closed the door behind him, pressing his lips together the moment he glanced at Kagami awkwardly stuffing her phone into her pocket.
"You asked me to come see you..." he prompted, his voice trailing off as he spoke. "You seemed like you were really in trouble. Is everything okay?"
His heart squeezed in his chest, an unnerving feeling brewing in the pit of his stomach.
Kagami nodded, the female quickly rubbing her cheeks before she approached him.
Naturally, her arms gently slid up his chest before they soon wrapped themselves around his neck.
"Y-Yeah... it was just a stupid argument with my dad..." Kagami breathed, pressing a soft kiss to his lips before she pulled back with a nervous glance. "I'm glad you came over..." she murmured, her fingers lightly running through his blonde hair.
Adrien gently placed his hands on to her waist, politely drawing her close. The male slid his hands up her body and rested his palms on her face.
"Is that why you called me over?" He asked, perking a brow as his thumbs very lightly brushed away any remaining tears on her cheeks. "To have me watch you vent?" The model offered her a chaste smile, his hands dropping to his sides.
"No..." Kagami dragged on, her arms drawing him flush against her body. "I want you to hold me...and kiss me..." she murmured, leaning up to brush her lips against his. "And...I want you inside of me..."
Adrien sighed, his hands resting back on to her hips as he had a hunch this was what she wanted.
The blonde parted his lips, opening his mouth to speak but was cut off the moment Kagami pressed her lips against his.
Adrien closed his eyes, his brows furrowing as he complied with the kiss. His lips moved on hers delicately, his digits lightly massaging her hips as their lips remained taut against one another.
He furrowed his brow, his heart squeezing in his chest the moment Kagami slipped her tongue into his mouth. The blonde whimpered, cowering as Kagami's grip on him grew more desperate and needy.
Adrien had the sense that something was wrong since he had walked, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
The male leaned into her, attempting to sink into the kiss and give her what she wanted, but he just couldn't get into it.
Since the very moment he got engaged to Marinette, Adrien took notice to how much more aggressive Kagami had become.
Adrien recalled the times she came on to him, he recalled all those mean things she did to Marinette. It was really starting to get underneath his skin.
It was all he ever got from her, just physical attention. He barely had the chance to spend quality time with her, but yet the moment Marinette is mentioned, Kagami had her mouth on him, ushering him to go back to bed.
Adrien placed his hands on to her shoulder, his eyes opening at the odd sensation of her tongue attempting to jam itself down his throat.
Their lips separated with an audible squelch and Adrien held her at arms length. The male ducked lower, his eyes capturing hers in a firm glance.
"What is it that you're trying to prove?" Adrien asked, his hands slowly falling away from her shoulders. The male attempted to catch his breath from the heated kiss and his cheeks remained completely flushed.
He could feel his heart ache in his chest as he was sure that if they continued, Kagami would have him flat on his back in bed.
Kagami blinked, her cheeks blushing as he pulled away from the kiss and inquired her. The female straightened herself up and she cleared her throat.
"W-What do you mean, Adrien?" She replied, her voice quivering as he questioned her. "I just want to show you how much I love you, that's all."
Adrien perked a brow, crossing his arms with a grimace as his eyes remained on her.
"Show me you love me?" He mused, exhaling as he tried to let those words sink into his head. "Kagami, you literally bail on me everytime I try to set up a date. I try to come over just to see you, and you always decline. You're incredibly rude to Marinette to the point where she cries because of what you say to her. On the rare chance you do see me, you throw yourself on me and rush into things. It makes me feel like sex is the only thing you want from me..." his explained, sighed as he reached up and ran his hand through his hair.
"Frankly, its really starting to piss me off..."
Kagami widened her eyes, her cheeks flushing as she clenched her fists.
"It's just sex, Adrien. What are you so afraid of?" She asked, her voice growing hoarse with vexation. "I'm sorry that I have a life and can't always spend time with you, but is it wrong that I want to have you as a part of me? I'm worried that you'll leave me for-"
"Kagami, it really isn't just sex for me-" Adrien interjected, the male slouching forward as he bit his lip. "I don't want my first time being treated as some sort of quest to be conquered..." Adrien explained, his voice weary. "I love you...I really do, but I hate the way you've been acting lately..." he reached up and rubbed the back of his neck.
Guilt began to sink into his heart as he felt as if he had no room to talk. He had done something with Marinette that he knew would hurt Kagami.
"I...I just...don't want to rush into anything and I want my first time to be something I won't forget..." he blushed deeply before he brought his gaze back to her.
Kagami breathed deeply, her eyes bouncing between both his green irises. Her chest heaved as she tried to keep herself composed.
"How dare you-?" She breathed, bringing her hand up and cracking him across the cheek sharply. "How dare you accuse me of just using you for sex? You promised me that you wouldn't lead me astray or abandon me for that ugly cunt you call a wife!" She sneered, her chest heaving as she attempted to stifle a vexed cry.
Adrien bit his lip, his heart aching in his chest as his skin stung from the strike. The male reached up, rubbing the swollen area as he sighed, keeping himself composed.
Adrien glanced down, feeling like he had crossed a couple of lines.
"Maybe I shouldn't have said what I said..." Adrien murmured, keeping his gaze away from her. "But you've changed..."
Kagami clenched her fists, remaining still as Adrien stepped away from her.
"I haven't changed at all, Adrien..." her voice quivered, her lips pressing together. "Nothing has changed..."
Adrien shook his head, his fingers soothing the red mark on his cheek.
The male simply shook his head, turning away from her and glancing down on to the ground.
"I'm sorry..."
