Adrien lead Marinette to the common area and noticed how the others were playing games and watching the television like everything was normal. There was a negative aura that was floating through the air and Marinette could feel it. It made her stomach turn and feel uneasy.

Nino was trying extra hard to make everything fun and erase what had happened. Mylene was trying to distract Rose and Marinette's heart ached for her.

Adrien saw Marinette worry her bottom lip and rub her upper arm. He sighed and gestured for her to follow him. Adrien walked to the front desk for a cigarette and a match. Marinette followed him to the porch as he struck the match on the wood to light his vice. "The vibe in there isn't the best."

Marinette nodded as she peered up at the sky, watching the sunset. She let the warm sun glow on her face as she slowly closed her eyes.

"Poor Rose." Adrien brought his cigarette to his lips as he looked out at the trees.

Marinette nodded as she became sad. Nino walked out to the porch and clapped his hand on Adrien's shoulder. "No ones really been talking about it. They're all trying to lift Rose up." Nino sighed and stole Adrien's cigarette from his hand.

"For real, man? You can go to Ms. Mendeleiev, at the front desk, and get that shit." Adrien glared at him.

Nino chuckled and took a drag from it, passing it back to him. "I just like picking on you, man."

Adrien rolled his eyes and brought it to his lips with a short laugh. "Whatever, man."

Marinette giggled at the two guys as Alya came out to drag her inside.

Adrien watched her laugh with all of the girls as they played a dance video game. He blew out smoke and turned away, hitting his hand on the banister. "You know… Ms. Bustier cock blocked me, moments ago."

"What?" Nino choked on his spit as he let Adrien's words sink in. "She cock blocked you?"

"Knocked on the door right as Marinette was about to-" Adrien shrugged and took one last drag; before, he stubbed it out on the wood.

"Are you for real?" Nino's eyes widened as he realized that Marinette and him were that serious. "Hold up. Wait, wait, wait." He held his hands up in front of his face. "How do you know she's even close to that point if the girl doesn't talk?"

Adrien smirked and tapped his best friend's shoulder as he walked back into the common area.

"Wait! Don't walk away from me, man…" Nino became annoyed as he watched his best friend begin to dance beside Marinette.

Marinette giggled as she looked beside her to see him mirroring her steps with the song. He took her hand and spun her around. She gasped as he pulled her close and began to dance back and forth with her. He spun her back out to resume the choreography on the game.

She rolled her eyes and shook her head as she went back to focusing on the game as everything yelled out cheers at them.

"Ridiculous." Marinette mouthed and he smirked at her as he danced beside her.

The song finished and Adrien lead her out of the common area.

Adrien pulled her to their room and shut the door. He leaned on it, touched Marinette's hips, and pulled her against him. Adrien slid his hand up her side and along her breast. She softly mewled and lowered her lashes as she parted her lips. He smirked and slid his hand up her neck and into her hair as she leaned into him.

"I can't wait that long." Adrien captured her lips and she moaned against his kiss.

"Bustier?" Marinette whispered against his lips. Adrien bit her bottom lip and slightly tugged on it, causing her to softly mewl.

Adrien let her lip go and smirked with a smoldering expression. "Why do you think I'm holding this door shut?"

Marinette giggled and grabbed his shirt to pull him more against her as she crushed her lips against his. She slipped her hand between them and ran it over the front of his joggers. They hid nothing from her and something about how they sat low on his hips turned her on.

She grabbed the waistband and pulled on them as she parted her lips and ran her tongue along his. Adrien moaned as she slipped her hand down further to run her fingertips along his pelvis. He grabbed her hand and pushed it down further until she was running her fingers down the length of him.

She gasped and moaned as she wrapped her fingers around him. He was solid and soft as she explored him again. Marinette bit her bottom lip as she peered into his heavily lidded gaze. He grabbed her chin with his thumb and index finger and pulled her lip from her teeth, bending down to kiss her.

Marinette parted her lips and ran her tongue along his as she let his cock go and slipped her hands along the waistband of his joggers. She smirked and licked his top lip as she got on her knees.

"What are you d- ah…." Adrien tilted his head back against the door as she pulled down his joggers and took him into her mouth. "Fuck."

Marinette softly giggled as she ran her tongue along him as she sucked hard. He gasped and moved his hips with his fingers tangled in her hair. She rested the heels of her palms on his hip bones as she worked him with her mouth and tongue. Adrien softly moaned as he watched her bring her lips from the base to the lip and back down again.

"Shit, Marinette." Adrien panted her name out as he hit his head against the door. "I'm gonna cum if you keep doing that and I want you to first." He pushed her away and Marinette let him go, wiping her lips with the back of her hand. She stood up and peered into his eyes, getting lost in them.

Adrien smirked and grabbed the loops of her jeans, pulling her close. He undid the button on her jeans and undid the zipper, slipping his hand beneath the band and shoving them down her hips.

Marinette peered into his emerald eyes and got lost in them as he stared through his lashes. She stepped out of her pants as he slipped his finger tips along the band of her panties. Adrien smirked and grabbed her hips, spinning her towards the door so that her back hit it. He grabbed her hands and slowly raised them up above her head, interlocking his fingers with hers as he pressed his body against hers.

She breathed hard as her chest rose and fell. Adrien kissed her on the lips, brushing his lips against hers. She softly moaned as he swept his tongue along her bottom lip, causing her to part them. He dipped his tongue past her soft lips and ran it along hers. Marinette whimpered as he brushed his lips against hers while he circled her tongue with his, slowly and teasingly.

Her thighs trembled as he smirked and broke the kiss to trail kisses down her neck. He kissed along her pulse point as she pulled the hem of her shirt up and over her head. Marinette got lost in him as he continued to trail soft kisses down her stomach to the band of her panties.

She bit her fingertip as he slowly pulled them down her hips, kissing above her swollen clit. Her skin felt like it was vibrating and hot. Her heart was banging against her chest as he slowly ran his tongue along her folds, causing her to moan loud.

"Ah! Adrien." Marinette moaned as she leaned against the door and pressed her sex against his mouth with her fingers tugging on his hair.

He circled her clit and flicked it until it was swollen and hard. Marinette gasped and bit her bottom lip with her eyes closed as she rolled her hips against his lips. "Don't stop…" Marinette gasped the words out and Adrien groaned in response as he sped up his tongue, while he wrapped his lips around her clit and sucked.

She clenched her thighs together and he pried them apart to stay on her sensitive clit. He felt her tremble and her thighs suddenly widen. That's it, baby. Cum for me. Say my name in that beautiful voice. My salvation. My angel.

"Adr-" Marinette bit out his name before she moaned, rocking her hips more.

Adrien suddenly flicked her clit, causing her to cry out and cum hard against his mouth, rolling her hips, riding out her orgasm. "Adrien…" She panted and felt him speed up his tongue, causing a shiver to run through her. He dipped his tongue inside her, tasting her. She let out a short moan and twitched as he stretched her open with his tongue. She began to giggle and hide behind her hand as he stood up.

"Good?" Adrien smiled down at her and she nodded. "I'm not done with you yet." He smirked and hoisted her up against the door.

She gasped and moaned as he sank inside her tight sex, fucking her against the door. He peered into her eyes with parted lips and she ran her hands up into his hair and captured his lips, tasting herself.

Adrien groaned as he gripped her ass and continued to thrust into her.

Marinette broke the kiss to gasp against his lips as he rested his forehead against her shoulder, panting. He groaned as he got close and she felt him swell more within her. She moaned and dug her nails into his back, causing him to cum.

"Fuck, Marinette." Adrien moaned and thrust harder and faster, riding out his orgasm.

Marinette cried out as she came again. She licked her lips and caught her breath as he slowed his pace, bringing them down from their high.

"So, how was it?" Adrien pulled out and set her back on her feet.

She swooned and her knees gave out from exhaustion and satisfaction. "So, good. Again." She giggled and clutched his shirt.

Adrien laughed and kissed her on the forehead. "I have a recharge period."

Marinette giggled and Adrien picked her up to set her on the bed. He threw her shirt, panties, and pants at her. Adrien put his joggers back on.

She slipped on her clothes and stood up on wobbly legs. "I- shower-" Marinette giggled as she pointed at the door.

Adrien blocked her a moment and pulled her against him, touching her jawline. "Say my name again."

Marinette smiled up at him. "Adrien."

"Beautiful." He pressed his soft lips against hers and tangled his fingers into her hair again.

Marinette grabbed a change of clothes and left to go shower.

Adrien laid on the bed and looked up at the ceiling with his hands behind his head. Stars appeared on the ceiling and spun around him as Plagg appeared and burst into a galaxy.

He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Marinette walked back into the bedroom to find Adrien asleep. She smiled at him and brushed down the skirt of her navy hued sleep dress. Marinette sat on her bed with her tablet and began to sketch him.

She loved how he slept with at least one of his hands behind his head. How his elbow was bend, showing off the muscles that were there. How his shirt rode up slightly to show off his hip. How his joggers sat low and how he had one knee bent slightly. She bit her bottom lip and noticed how his blonde hair fell into his eyes as his chest softly rose and fell.

Tikki watched over her shoulder as she drew him. Marinette continued to sketch until she slow fell asleep.

The morning light filtered through their room and woke Adrien up. He groaned as the light hit in the face. He swatted at it and threw his pillow over his head.

Marinette giggled as she peered at him. "You're like a cat." She whispered at him and he peered from under his pillow with half open eyes. "Meow." Adrien made a cat noise and she giggled harder.

"Yep, definitely a cat." Marinette giggled and threw her pillow at him.

Nurse Bustier knocked on their door and Marinette stopped picking on him. "You're father is here."

"You mean Nathalie and her tablet?" Adrien became unamused as he opened the door.

"He wants to meet Marinette." Nurse Bustier smiled and Adrien swallowed hard.

Marinette grabbed his arm and tried to distract him.

"Okay, but can I shower first?" Adrien sat up and rubbed his eyes with his hands.

"Of course. Both of you get dressed and I'll meet you back here." Nurse Bustier smiled as he grabbed clothes.

Marinette changed into a blush hued dress while Adrien was gone.

She peered up from fixing her hair into a neat bun when she heard the door open.

Adrien stepped inside, wearing light jeans and a white crew neck t-shirt. His orange Converse stood out against the basic colors.

"We ready?" Nurse Bustier knocked on the door and opened it.

Adrien nodded, taking Marinette's hand, and followed Nurse Bustier to the room where Nathalie was at.

Marinette held his hand as they walked down the long hallway. Her nerves leapt up her throat as they neared the small room. Adrien wasn't any better. She could feel waves of trembling going through his arm and she peered up to see him setting his jaw.

She pressed a soft kiss to his arm and he peered down at her with worried peridot eyes. Marinette nuzzled his arm and he sighed, taking a deep breath.

Nurse Bustier opened the door and Adrien pushed Marinette behind himself. She peered over his shoulder to see his father sitting at the table.

"Shit." Adrien cursed under his breath as his father sat there beside Nathalie with a blank expression.

"Hello, son." Gabriel grinned at his son as he rested his hands on the table. "It's been a long time."

Nurse Bustier had them sit down in the two chairs across from Nathalie and Gabriel. Marinette watched Adrien clench his hands into fists, scratching the fabric of his jeans with his nails. "Why do you suddenly care enough to actually walk your ass in here and see me?" Adrien hid in his hair as he clenched his jaw tight.

"Language." Gabriel's voice was harsh and something about it unsettled Marinette to no end. "I raised you with more manners than that."

Adrien growled under his breath as he dug his fingers harder into his thighs. Marinette slipped her hand under one and he loosened his grip.

"I wanted to meet this Marinette Dupain-Cheng that I keep being told about by Dr. Fu. How she's helping you." Gabriel peered over at the uneasy girl beside him. "Look at me, please."

Marinette peered up at him with a nervous expression.

"Hello. My name is Gabriel Agreste. How are you?" Gabriel smiled at her and held his hand out for her.

Marinette's hand shook as she hesitated to shake his outstretched one.

"She doesn't talk, father." Adrien bit out the words and Gabriel's smile faded as he turned to peer at his son.

"Did I speak to you?" Gabriel questioned him with a authoritative voice.

Adrien looked down and rehid in his blonde hair. "No, Sir."

"I didn't think so. You've gained weight." Gabriel pointed out and took out his tablet. "What size are you into now?"

Marinette peered over at Adrien with parted lips.

Adrien sighed and swallowed hard. His stomach turned and he suddenly felt sick. "They- They don't tell me how much I consume or what size I wear."

"But you keep track, don't you son?" Gabriel began to go through his son's measurements. "Stand up for Nathalie."

Adrien hit his wrist on the side of the chair and Marinette fought herself to yank him down and keep him in his spot. He shook her off with a desperate expression as he stood up and walked up to Nathalie.

"Strip." Gabriel spoke the word and Marinette watched him strip down to his black boxers.

Nathalie pulled out a measuring tape. "Arms out."

Adrien swallowed hard and watched her run the measuring tape across his upper back, rattling off numbers. She kept measuring everything and relaying numbers back to Gabriel, who was busy putting them into his tablet.

Marinette wanted to cry as she felt embarrassed for him. His cheeks were flushed and his chest rose and fell as Nathalie ran it around his hips. "31."

Adrien clenched his eyes shut as she took the measuring tape away. She sat back down and Adrien got dressed. He sat down beside Marinette and she noticed how his whole body trembled.

"You've gone from a 27 to a 31, since you've been in here." Gabriel shook his head and set his tablet down onto the table. "What have you been given to eat? Have you been exercising?"

"They don't let us exercise, father. I barely eat." Adrien answered, keeping his gaze to his lap.

"And what does this girl do to help you? She's making you gain weight." Gabriel pointed at Marinette.

Marinette flinched at his accusation and Adrien grabbed her hand. He peered through his hair to look at her. "It's not your fault." He mouthed to her and she sniffed, trying to not let his father's words get to her.

"Why is she here?" Gabriel pointed at Marinette and suddenly got a good idea. "Doesn't matter. She's pretty. She might be the perfect accessory to amp up that photoshoot I have scheduled for you." He leaned over and whispered to Nathalie. "Get her measurements and find me coordinating outfits."

"Father, please..." Adrien begged him to no avail.

Marinette shook her head and grabbed his hand. She nodded at him and smiled.

"I don't want this for you." Adrien whispered to her and she gripped his hand harder to say it was okay.

Marinette smiled up at Gabriel and nodded.

"Excellent." Gabriel nodded at Nathalie and Adrien watched Marinette strip down to her bra and panties.

It made Adrien sick to his stomach as Nathalie instructed her how to pose for her to get what she needed. How his father's eyes scanned over her body like she was a mannequin and not a person. How he commented over how perfect she was as he wrote down her measurements and took photos of her from different angles.

Everything about it made Adrien sick and anger spilled.

"Look at how your father is staring at her like she's a piece of fine meat. Like she's some exquisite fine wine." Plagg snickered as he swirled around the room. "A wine he wants to taste for himself."

Adrien growled and clenched his hands into fists. His stomach flipped as he watched his father smile cruelly at him.

"What's this? Stripping down to be a model? He says you're perfect, but you know the truth. You know that there are tons of girls that are more pretty than you. Don't you? Even Nathalie looks prettier than you. How about Nurse Bustier, hm? I bet Adrien fantasizes about her while he touches himself. I bet he does it when you're sleeping." Tikki smirked and swirled around her as Nathalie continued to measure her bust.

Marinette peered over at Adrien to see him twitching in his seat.

"He doesn't think that way, Tikki. Shut up!" Marinette scolded Tikki in her head and got dressed.

Marinette sat down beside Adrien and touched him hand, interlocking his fingers with her own.

"Now, tomorrow your photographer will show up to take those photos for me. I need you both to get enough sleep. I will also send a makeup artist to cover up those dark rings. I can't believe you let yourself get this way." Gabriel tsked his son and shook his head at him.

"Sorry, father." Adrien hid in his hair as Plagg swirled around him.

"Don't apologize. Apologizing is for the weak and we are not weak, are we?" Gabriel waited for him to respond to him.

"No, father. We're Agrestes and Agrestes don't show emotion other than confidence and determination." Adrien spoke without emotion and Marinette stared at him with a concerned expression.

"This will put you on the map as well Marinette. I hear that you love to sketch designs. Maybe one day you can work for me." Gabriel smiled at her and stood up. "We should go. Remember. Vincent will be here bright and early."

Nathalie followed him out of the room, leaving Adrien trembling with anger beside Marinette.

Marinette touched his face as he set his jaw. She turned his attention to her. "Hey, it's okay." Her voice was soft and he clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. "Don't listen to Plagg."

Adrien shook his head as tears threatened to fall. He panted as he dug his nails into his palms, drawing blood.

"Adrien." Marinette softly spoke and pressed her lips to his, but he didn't kiss her back.

"Stop." Adrien pushed her away and Marinette let tears fall from her eyes as she started to see his face turn red. "I'm so fucking pissed. I don't want to hurt you. Just back up."

Marinette took her hands off of his face and got up. She watched him take a deep breath and let it out in short pants. He punched the table with his fists, causing blood to splatter on the surface.

"Adrien?" Marinette tried again to reach him.

"I said…" He slowly turned his head to peer at her through his hair. "STOP!"

Marinette pressed her lips into a thin line and clenched her eyes tight, flinching as he banged his head against the table.

"Easier if you don't talk, sugar." Tikki watching Adrien fall apart and fling chairs around. Watched him punch the walls. His screams surrounded Marinette and she slid down the wall with her hands over her ears. She softly hummed to try and cover his pain.

I'll never talk again. I'll never talk again. All my fault. All my fault. I hurt people when I talk. I hurt him. It's all my fault. Marinette gasped for air as she sobbed, hearing the door open.

"NO! NO! STOP! DON'T TOUCH ME! FUCK YOU!" She heard Adrien's voice and cried harder as she heard the door shut.

Her hands trembled as she took them from her ears and slowly opened her eyes to find herself alone. She burst into tears and wrapped her arms around her knees.

"Marinette?" Nurse Bustier opened the door and walked up to her.

She found her trembling and yanked on her hair, rocking back and forth. She touched the girl's shoulders and Marinette peered up at her with swollen eyes.

"Did he hurt you?" Nurse Bustier looked her over.

Marinette ripped her arms away and shook her head as she gasped for more air.

"Let's get you to your room." Nurse Bustier helped her up and lead her there.

Marinette's legs trembled as she crossed her arms and held her sides. She shivered and continued to sniff, letting tears freefall down her cheeks.

Nurse Bustier opened their room's door and Marinette peered up to find his bed empty. She turned around to run and Nurse Bustier grabbed her. "Sit down, honey." Nurse Bustier helped her to her bed and sat down beside her.

Marinette froze up as more guilt hit her and ran through her bones. "I'm going to be honest with you." Nurse Bustier took her hands into her own and peered into her broken eyes. "Adrien is not in a good place right now. He isn't safe to be around. So, we thought it would be better if he were to be put in-"

Marinette shook her head and shoved Nurse Bustier's hands away from her. She cried harder as she grabbed her tablet, angrily writing on it. She shoved it into Nurse Bustier's chest and crossed her arms, sobbing.

"How dare you! You knew that his father would be like that and yet you still let him inside this hell hole! You are to blame! Not him! Leave him alone!" Nurse Bustier sighed as she read it. "I know. But it's also his father. I can't keep him away. You have to understand that."

"BUT HE'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM!" Marinette yanked the tablet and wrote that on it, shoving it at her.

Nurse Bustier sighed and set the tablet down after she read it. "He's in solitary until we know what to do with him. Please understand our decision."

Marinette shook her head and turned away from her. She dug her nails into her skin and ignored Nurse Bustier, letting Tikki swirl around her and cover her mouth.

She wouldn't talk or progress until they let Adrien go. Until she had him back in her arms.

Safe.

This song randomly came to mind after I got done writing this:
