A.N: Hi guys, there's going to be some angst in this chapter because that's how I'm feeling, I think Adrien has a lot more insecurities than he let's on even as Chat Noir.
I woke up and looked around, it was still day time but I could see and hear nothing. Wait why was I tucked in the bed me and Adrien were supposed to share and the curtains were closed.
"AGHHHH," I screamed, maybe if I did everyone would come out. "Okaayyy, that didn't work. Right, calm down, calm down, what do I remember last? So I was in Chat's lap, I cried, a lot, then Chat sang me a lullabye, and I fell into a half sleep. Then all I remember next is…. the feeling of being KISSED!?" I was horrified by the memory.
"Marinette, Marinette! There's a letter for you, it was on the table, so I brought to you." My small spotted kawami handed me a letter that was roughly written note.
"Tikki~,"I wined "why are you out in the open we have no idea where everyone is. Oh fine! (I said as I saw the look my kawami gave me) I'll read the letter.
'Dear Mari, We have gone out to do stuff (?), we would of woken u up but Adrien (who totally wants to go out with you) tolds us to leave you. Said something about, you were crying your eyes out when he came to see you! Anyway text me when ur awake, Adrien left a note for you under your pillow. See u later. 3' Okay, let's see what Adrien left me…." I froze taking in what the letter said 'crying your eye's out' "TIKI! Adrien said that I was crying my eyes out and only Chat knew that so either he talked to Adrien in that tiny space of time or…."
"Chat Noir is Adrien. Don't think on it marinette let's read the letter he sent."The reassuring voice of Tikki came out from the cupboard dragging my hand bag with her.
"Yeah you're right Tikki, now where is it? Ah found it, here, it says 'Hi Mari (can I call you that?), before I say anything Ayla said either way *wiggles eyebrows*. Anyway, Chat told me about you (guessing you talk to him to huh ; D) He didn't tell me why but he said that you were crying your eyes out, told me to let you rest. Oh! And how cute you looked (I was like isn't she always!?) By the way if you want to talk to someone I'll always be there for you. See you later, love Adrien!' Tiki he said love Adrian LOVE! Look there's another piece of paper" I smiled at Tiki, whatever Chat had said, Adrien sure took it to heart. "It's a picture of the both sides of me, me and Ladybug, back to back arms crossed…. And Adrien drew a love heart around Ladybug and a heart with a question mark for me. And his number on the back."
"Come on let's go find them," Tiki said as she zipped into my purse. I grabbed my bag swimming costume, phone, the free band and Adrien picture then ran out the hose calling Ayla about where she was.
"Yeah we're just outside the swimming pool place…. Yeah….. Honestly! He put that…. I think someone has a crush on you~ …. Anyway see you later!" I watched Ayla end the phone call with Marinette and put it in her pocket. She looked up at me with a raised eyebrow but said nothing. She looked away, into her bag with a sigh. 'He's really done it now, if Adrien doesn't really like Marinette and he was doing it to be nice, he-he's just gone and made it worse.' Ayla thought and looked up, "Nino we ….need to talk."
Nino looked surprised and Ayla mouthed something and he nodded. "Hey, dude, we're going round here ….incase Mari comes round here."
I sighed "Yeah sure go ahead." They turned round the corner, as soon as they were out of earshot they started talking, "It's not like I'm needed, even Ladybug could do without me." A patter of footsteps came up next to me. I turned to see the one person who I had offered help to that morning.
"No," Marinette practically growled she looked so fierce, her blue eyes burning with passion, "I don't care who told you that, or if you told Chat that or if you are Chat. Ladybug needs you more than you realise, and if you are Chat, well, she knows you love her and the only reason she doesn't back is because she loves someone in her real life. You know that. And YOU Adrien Agrest. You are the most needed boy in my life, and I will do anything, ANYTHING in my power to make you realise that."
"Wow, you, you really feel strongly about that don't you?" I said a slight blush colouring my cheeks as her hand landed on mine.
"Yeah I guess I do. It's just …. I feel that Chat has a lot more insecurities than he lets on. And I know I'm no Ladybug but I just wish I could be there for him more, you know?" I looked at her, the spark in her eyes were gone and she looked ten times older, I sighed inside, Wow, she really must care for Chat, shame not for me… I could use someone like her' I felt a cold line of water trace down my cheek. And then the warm embrace of a friend, I looked up Marinette was wrapped around me, she lent back to see my face. "Come now, if you want we can talk in the bedroom." She whispered as she wiped my cheek gently. And then hugged me tighter.
"Ummm….it looks like we're interrupting something, should we leave?" We broke apart as if there was a fire on the other person. We turned to look at a laughing Ayla and Nino.
"Uhhh no, nothing going on here." I blushed furiously and looked away seeing Marinette doing the same, and added to her, "yeah I would like to talk thanks,"
We were walking into the central part of the resort, Ayla and Nino were walking at the front. (they said the needed to talk about something private, I suspect that it's about me.) Leaving me and Adrien at the back. We hadn't spoken since we got caught hugging, if we even looked at each other, we would look away blushing furiously. I was looking around trying to find something to talk about. I looked over to him and he was looking over his shoulder and whispering to a black thing. That looked like a kawami….there was only one way to find out. "Adrien, what's that on your shoulder?"
He his head shot up and tried to look surprised. "There's something on my shoulder?!" Then turned back down and whisper shouted 'Plagg, hide!' He looked up as Tiki was looking to see if there truly was another kawami. "Ummm there's something on your shoulder, it's kind of red, annnddd moving."
"T-t-there is? Let me see." I turned looking at my shoulder. 'Tiki hide!' Adrien looked at me with a face of pure confusement. I kicked myself inside, if he was really Chat, he could probably notice my kawami from a mile away.
"Plagg. I - I think there's more to Marinette than I realised. That thing, on her shoulder if it is her kawami, then she must be ladybug." I sighed we were in the changing rooms after having just gone into the pool for about 10 minutes to find out where our 'beach hut' like thing was. Marinette had been a strong swimmer and beaten himself in all of their competition. She had looked even more beautiful in the water.
"So what? If she is that means that you've fallen in love with the same girl twice. And if you didn't realise, Marinette really really likes you which means that ladybug likes the other half of you. Maybe if you meet each other here you can ask her who she likes in real life." Plagg said simply.
"Maybe you're right Plagg, maybe you're right." I sighed, why was life so complicated? If only Ladybug would let him tell a few people life would be a whole lot better. "Plagg remind me to ask Ladybug to reel my identity to someone." Plagg nodded, sad nothing but nodded. And for some reason, it made me feel good. Like for the first time in my life something was going to go well.
A.N: Well there's your angst,not very good but hey, it's my first fic. And a bit of lovey-dovey-ness from Adrien. Some LadyNoir next time and maybe some Ladybug - Adrien shipping. I don't know the proper ship name for that.
