Alya and Nino prepared a small dinner. They had forced Adrien to sit down. Today had been an eventful day for him, they didn´t want to add "burned a house" to the list. Adrien´s cooking skills weren´t the best, despite their efforts to teach him how to cook some of the simplest meals.
So Adrien was sitting on the couch, the one he hadn´t left since he and Nino (alias his life saviour) entered his apartment earlier that day. He had his phone in his hand, it was still turned off. He fought back the urge to crush it in his hands; he never wanted to turn it on and see all the missed calls and missed messages from his father and his assistant. He wanted a new life, far away from the paparazzi… or just simply far away from Chloé. He set the table for four persons, because it´s the only thing he could do to help. Dinner was ready, but they were still waiting for Alya´s friend to appear. What was her name again? Adrien had so much on his mind, he completely forgot her name. Thankfully Alya started speaking.
"Marinette is late, nothing out of the ordinary." She and Nino laughed as they remembered their years in college and lycée. Adrien didn´t react, still lost in thoughts, he didn´t want to think about his situation, but it was difficult to do so. It´s not like he agreed to marry the girl he was forced to go out with, because of his father, and decided to organize a way to crash his own wedding… no, no at all. At this moment, he should have been eating with all the guests at the Mayor´s hotel, who had been entirely booked for their wedding. He would have been pretending to be happy, smiling at everybody, eating the amazing food reluctantly, because he was truly unhappy and miserable. He slunk into the future that he could have had and didn´t even hear the doorbell ring. He was so lost in thoughts, he didn´t register someone standing next to him. He felt Nino hit his arm.
"Nino! That hurt!"
"Adrien, this is Marinette. Marinette, this is Adrien, my best bud!"
Hi everybody!
Many of you wanted to have another chapter, even though I thought it would stay a One-Shot, but here is your update! :) I know this is only a very small update, but I just started writting it again. I don´t know when I´ll post a next chapter, but now that I wrote this one it certainly does need at least another one! So don´t worry.
I also wanted to know if you were surprised by the first chapter ( I mean that Nino saved Adrien), I already knew the outcome of the story, so I don´t know if the surprise effect was there or not... So, were you surprised?
Leave comments! I´m always happy to read if you liked it... or not. I won´t judge you if you don´t like it.
