I loved the review one of you posted, so much it inspired me to change a little this chapter !Sorry I know I promised to post this Sonner but life got in the way:´ ( sorry also about any mistakes I make.I will be more careful on next chapters.
Back to school already so the story won´t be updated so quickly .However expect the next 2 chapters real soon as they are pretty much done. 2 more Chapters release next week for sure.
Also now going to the story or better the notes about the story. Wich I will avoid making so many from now on,
Remember Plagg is really mad at Marinete so he is going to be harsh. don´t get mad at him for what he says I don´t know if you noticed but I love plagg and that might play a role in the story .
Marinete laying on her bed with her head deep in her pillow ,She noticed a shadow move and assuming it was her cat turning her head to look she just said:
"Plagg I don't feel like playing now "
Plagg the kwami floating in the air and staring heavily at her then said:
"I am not here to play"
Marinete jumped out of the bed scared by hearing a voice and soon understood he was a kwami, to be more exact it was chat's kwami. Tikki had told her about him enough for Marinete to understand that kwamis just like people are very different. Marinete however pretended she had no idea of what or who he was. Not many people know what a kwami is after all.
"Oh ! no! a talking cat, what is this?"-she pretended to be scared by jumping all around and waving her arms.
Plagg didn´t react and then smirked - "Ladybug doesn't know what a kwami is? Now that is stranger then a talking cat."
Marinete stopped and gasped – "You know? "-She now regain her composure and carefully sat on her bed.
Plagg assured her with the most serious face he had- "I know a lot! -then began with the hard questions- "Where is Tikki ? Why aren´t you wearing your earrings?"
Marinete turned her head and then answered- "They are safe and so is Tikki. Now Plagg, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Adrien "-Marinete covered her mouth after saying this, realizing she just gave away the fact she knew Chat´s identity.
Plagg now floating in front of her, a few inches from her -"Of course you already knew Adrien is chat !"-Plagg already presumed that but now it was confirmed she knew –"I would be with him and show him support for the pain you caused him "-Plagg pointed his little tine paws at her,this made Marinete flinch -"but I also had to check on Tikki and the fact you gave her up. "
"Plagg,You don´t have any idea of…"-Marinete argued ,fighting simultaneously with Plagg and herself to hold the continued floating back and forth .
Plagg cut her off and kept going, Now stopping right in front of her and her bluebell eyes,looking her deeply,–"I honestly don't understand what Adrien sees in you. He never fails you. He always protects and cares for you. Why don't you do the same ? He values you so much that he is always saying how awesome you are. He would even risk his life for you. You don´t deserve him! You don´t deserve the gigantic love he has for you."
Marinete opened her mouth to say something but all she got was a gasp before Plagg put his paw in front of her mouth closing it.
"I am not done! You think this is fun or that you can just quit being Ladybug? Do you know how hard it is for me to be the responsible one? I mean I should be alone with my precious camembert but instead I am here, honestly If I have to be the voice of reason the world is all really messed up."
"I am sorry Plagg I …. I ….-"Tears were begging leave Marinete´s eyes .They seemed small like a drop of water in a deep ocean blue but had the strength of a storm raging inside her .
"I am only asking for you to the right thing"-Plagg continued – "Adrien and Tikki were always there for you so please be there for them. You owe them that much"-With that said Plagg left her room and went downstairs.
Marinete would have followed him but she was now crying .He came back moments later caring a large peace of cheese. Then said-"Thank you for the cheese. It isn´t my favorite but all cheeses are delicious , remember what I said! "-Plagg turned his back and left.
Marinete still asked between sobs:" Are you going to tell Adrien ? "-but the kwami was already gone.
Marinete unsure what had just happened looked out of her balcony to see if he was coming back. She saw there the neckless Adrien or chat had given and decided grab it. She gently took it inside and put it once or twice, Adrien did have good taste, at the end she took it off. set it close to the box with her earrings and went to sleep thinking about what Plagg said.
Adrien was crazy looking for his he lost Marinete ,then Plagg on the same day .Sure it was different losses but still hurt the same way. He was more then thrilled to see his kwami return. He brought a large piece of cheese with him and told Adrien that's why he had left. He wanted more cheese! Adrien so glad to see his friend back didn´t even think about his excuse and just hugged him. Of course, the kwami then freed himself saying he preferred hugging cheese. Adrien then told him not to do it again but Plagg shook his shoulders and went back to his cheese.
Next day
Plagg´s words still hunted Marinete and while she wasn´t still ready to be ladybug and see Tikki. After all, Tikki was the person or kwami that supported her the most and disappointing Tikki like that was hard. Marinete had no idea if when the time came she would be able to face her kwami again.
she was ready to apologize to Adrien though. She knew she had done wrong and now only hoped he could ever forgive her. If Adrien could forgive her then Tikki would forgive her too. She grabbed some macarrons to apologize. Plagg the cat even tried to enter her beg with the macarrons but she took him off and petted him.
Meanwhile at school,Adrien saw Chloe and since she was probably the one that gave the fortune cookies to kagami she must have known who made them .Adrien considered chloe might have done them herself but then remembered it was chloe .the same chloe that called the firefighters to escape a class of baking with Mr. du pain cheng . he smilled at the thought of chloe doing some bake goods but then he remembered marinete baker was her father and that was enough to make his brain rethink all the moments he had with Marinete .
Chloe threw herself to Adrien –"Hi me ? of course you did I mean who wouldn´t ?"
Chloe was enough to distract Adrien from his thoughts. She was enough to distract anyone .
Adrien slowly and kindly freed himself from huge Chloe's embrace -"Chloe I wanted to ask you. kagami told me you gave her some fortune cookies and I would like to know where did you get them? "
"Uh I hate fortune cookies, I prefer normal food."
Adrien sighed "can you tell me where did you buy them?"
Chloe while brushing her fabulous expensive hair -"Where do you think ?At Marinete´s parents lame bakery.I mean I order macarons and they give me those. That's TOTALLY not acceptable"
Adrien was really starting to lose his mind .Everything around him screamed Marinete ,the one thing he wanted to take of his mind ,was hunting him! He started that search in hope somehow it would bring him closer to his lady but it was bringing him close to Marinete. The girl that apparently didn´t even wanted to be friends with him, the one thing he didn´t want to think about.
"Adrien wait "-Marinete´s voice warmly called him.
Was he hallucinating? Was he now hearing voices too ? he turned around very casually just to make sure if he had officially lost his mind..yes he had .Marinete was smiling,waving and caring a box of smile was wide but got smaller as she approached him and her confidence began to shrink.
"I am sorry about yesterday "-she continued .
Adrien realizing, Chloe was also looking to Marinete ,got happy he wasn´t completely crazy and turned to Chloe and asked Chloe for some privacy with Marinete .she didn´t seemed happy about it but went away not before giving him a huge goodbye kiss on the cheek.
" I taught about yesterday a lot"-he said continuing the conversation
"me too , I wasn´t fair to you.I wanted to apologize so I brought you this.I know they are your favorite.-Marinete kindly gave the macaron box to Adrien-"I hope you can forgive me and maybe be friends again ? I understand if …"
Adrien took the box and smiled : "sure I would love that but first there is something I need to know "
Marinete nodded, she had lost all of her confidence now. She was trilled he had accepted her apologies but still kept feeling guilty .
Adrien then asked point and clear-"Why did you treat me like that yesterday ?"
Marinete blushed and with all her braveness, she told him the truth or at least partially. -"The truth is…that I loved you and when I saw how much you loved ladybug .I got jealous .but it´s fine now. I know it was wrong and I am sorry. I promise I won´t do that again. Feel free to be happy. That´s all I want for you now even if it doesn't include me"´
Adrien was in shock at that revelation, He didn´t know what to say. He had made so many conclusions and ideas and the fact was that it was simple. Marinete loved him ? Unfortunately, before he could say a word the bell rang and Marinete took the opportunity to leave. she was embarrassed and the fact Adrien hadn´t said anything made her even more nervous. She really hoped he had forgiven her completely.
At the end of classes Adrien went to Marinete and caught her at the entrance to the knew what to say after thinking about it for the whole time. In fact, during class that was all he could think about.
"Marinete I would love to be your friend but I am not looking for anything more…"-Marinete cut Adrien off before he could say anything else and hugged him.
"thank you"-that was exactly what she wanted to hear.
"but I still haven´t finished. there is something more I have to say "-Adrien tried to continue
"what?" -Marinete blushed.
Adrien looking with his green forest eyes the ocean blue eyes of marinete said-"you are amazing and sweet and of the most talented person´s I know.-His hands landed on her shoulder grabbing her .They were so close his body –"you are more then a friend .you are confident , kind and I missed you as a friend even if it was just for a day. You were the first friend I went with to the movies , a to concert with. What I am trying to say is …"
Rose then came and said "sorry to interrupt but Marinete you have to come with me. Luka is here, and you absolutely have to say hi."-Rose then pretty much pulled Marinette away. Marinete still said while she was being dragged down by rose and the rest of the girls.:
"sorry, see you tomorrow then"
Adrien now alone whispered the end of his speech "I really really… like you! But I love someone else" -Plagg inside Adrien´s bag facepalmed with one hand and ate cheese with the other .
Adrien telling the driver he had forgotten something went back to school just to check on Marinete and what she was doing. He stopped when he saw her laugh with Luka. Then went back to the limousine .Ignoring Plagg and pretty much everything the way back home.
