Well, I don't think this is too bad, but sometimes one may have contradicting thoughts and believe things they know they shouldn't.
Yeah, hope you enjoy this chap! I would love to hear your opinion in a review! ^^
Mon Chaton - Bad Luck
Bad luck.
Marinette has always had it, even before becoming Chat Noire. Being stuck with Chloe for four years in the same class. Clumsy and always tripping over nothing.
She wasn't even able to speak to her crush normally!
All of this bad luck would come walking back to her, surrounding the clumsy female in its own misfortune.
Many people didn't even see Chat Noire as a true hero, mostly just a sidekick and in her head, Marinette found herself agreeing with it.
She cares for her partner dearly, and thought about how her bad luck may affect his success in purifying the akuma. In a bad way.
She was the one who caused some of the akumas, and that only made her guilt dig deeper. Volpina was out of jealousy, and even Antibug where the blue-haired female had let her anger get the best of her.
Plagg shook it off and told her some reassuring words. Kind of.
"If you think that Beetle Bug would be better without you, then you're being delusional!"
Even after hearing those words of comfort, Marinette still couldn't help but let her mind wonder.
What if her bad luck got in the way?
More than it already has?
Everyone in the classroom could see the glum mood Marinette seemed to be in, another sigh coming from the girl.
Alya glanced at her friend, worried of what had gotten the female in a bad mood. She's never seen her like this, she would usually be ecstatic about admiring Adrien who sat right in front of her view.
Class ended, signalling that it was lunch break for the students. Many of her classmates ran out of the room, excited to finally be out of class and free.
"Girl, you ready to eat?" Alya asked, and Marinette gave a small nod to her.
She looked to be in a horrible state. Her hair was messy, similar to how she looked as Chat Noire.
Her eyes dull, making the female shiver at the look. "Okay, that's it! Mari, you look horrible!" Alya confessed, shaking the blue-haired female's shoulders in panic.
"Sorry, I'm just...thinking.."
"That's the problem! You're thinking of something, other than Adrien! Which is weird!" Pointing an accusing finger at Marinette, she gave her a suspicious look before saying, "Who are you and where's Marinette!"
Her words made the female let out a chuckle but she reassured her with,
"I...was just in a daze and needed to think for a bit, anyways...Let's get some lunch!"Putting on a smile, Marinette began to drag her dumbfounded friend. The two headed to her bakery across the street.
Lately, Marinette had been coming earlier to school, unlike her usual self. A new day and a new morning, including more class and thinking.
Mind focused on her bad luck, her ears found interest in her classmates' conversation, when the name 'Chat Noire' had entered her head.
The conversation specifically belonged to a very, selfish blonde.
Chloe.
Her parents had told her that eavesdropping on other people's conversations was bad (even though they may do it themselves), but it couldn't really count as eavesdropping.
Since Chloe was literally shouting and laughing about it loudly, for everyone in the classroom to hear.
"Another day saved by my beloved!" Chloe laughed loudly, making Marinette frown at the sound of it.
"Uh...Adrien?" Sabrina asked, wanting confirmation for her confusion.
"No! Not Adrikins, Beetle Bug!" So focused on her words, the blue-haired female didn't notice Adrien perk up, at the name of his alter ego.
Marinette stared at the blonde.
Does Chloe...know Beetle Bug?
Well, it didn't look like it when she and her spotted partner had come in, to save Chloe from all those akuma attacks.
"Oh, you mean Beetle Bug and Chat Noire!"
"Uh, no! Not that mangy stray!" Sabrina jumped at the mayor's daughter, eyes wide at the sound of her angered screech.
"Beetle Bug doesn't even need someone like her, he would be better with me anyways!" Marinette froze, shoulders tense at the blonde's words.
She knew that she shouldn't allow Chloe's words to get through to her but...she couldn't help but think otherwise.
Would Beetle Bug be better off without her?
Ignoring the annoyed shuffling from Plagg, in her purse. She could feel the cat kwami getting restless, and she did too but tried to do her best to calm herself.
Would he be better off?
Should..she give up?
The blue-haired female jumped at the voice of another blond.
"Chloe, that's rude!" Adrien scolded, a slightly-angered expression on his face unlike his usual smiles similar to the sunshine.
"Adrikins! It's not like she's here to listen!" Chloe wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to get a kiss from the model. "Besides, no need to be jealous!~" Adrien moved his head back, away from Chloe's kisses.
Marinette could almost feel herself growling at the blonde's words and actions towards the model.
Though, surprised when Adrien pushed his childhood friend away and began to speak, in an embarrassed fashion.
"Well, Chat Noire is my favourite hero, she's just..." Love-sick smile, the thought of his lady making him sigh in bliss.
Only to realise the interested stares that were being thrown in his direction. "Uh, really great?" Some gave the blond male amused looks, while others just turned away in disinterest.
Instead of melting into a pile of mush like she always does, a fluttering feeling had bloomed in her chest.
Her heart soaring, Marinette felt deeply touched by Adrien's words.
Usually seen as Beetle Bug's sidekick, it felt...different to be admired for something else other than that.
It felt nice.
Chloe stepped back, annoyed of how her friend stood up to her words.
"Whatever, I'm out! Come on, Sabrina." Walking away, Sabrina quickly followed her.
Adrien's eyes followed his childhood friend, sighing before returning back to his seat in front of Marinette.
Wanting to speak out, she hesitated for a moment and decided to hold back.
Though, it seemed that the male blond himself decided to speak out to the blue-haired female, her name at the end of his lips.
"How have you been feeling? Are you alright?" Marinette perked up.
Is Adrien...worried for her?
She almost let out a squeal of excitement, forcing herself to keep it in before calming herself and responding with.
"Yup! Better than ever." Smiling brightly, Adrien returned it with his own before turning back towards the front. He began to chat with Nino, who had just entered the classroom.
While Marinette laid her chin on the wooden table, her arms hiding her smile.
Thank you, Adrien...thank you.
