"I guess you don't want to then, I'm sorry for disturbing you." He said with sadness in his voice and a small pain in his eyes, Marinette couldn't get any words or sounds out of her mouth. All she could do was watch him slowly turning around while averting his gaze to the floor and walked away,
"W-wait" Marinette tried to say and reached her hand out, she could have grabbed onto his shirt but for some reason her hand wouldn't do that. her voice was so low so he didn't hear her, upon reaching the door he turned and looked at her. Her face made no sense to him, it's like she wants to say something with her eyes, her hand in the air like she wants him to stay but why wouldn't she had answered him that if she didn't want him to leave.
Adrien took the decision and closed the door and walked back to her, still that sting of pain in his chest. He sat down beside her and felt how stiff he was from the tension, he looked at her that was now stealing glances his way. What she could be thinking right now is like a maze to him, his patience was running low since not hearing her answer felt like an eternity and he can't wait forever even if it breaks his heart.
She looked at him and smiled a little, her expression still not revealing anything about what she was thinking.
"You asked me if I wanted to know who he is, and it's not that I don't want to but I can't. Just like everyone I does get curious who could behind the mask, but I know that we have a responsible and to ignore that and just show each others isn't right. Beside wouldn't he be disappointed it was me, a clumsy and normal middle schooler?" She said and looked out the window.
"He's not disappointed at all!" Adrien said not believing her ears at her words, he had always thought Marinette was an amazing and wonderful person. But since he loved Ladybug he had never really thought of her to much, but ever since he found out that's all he could think about. How she's always been this close to him, and how even without the mask she was amazing. But she looked confused at him.
"How would you know that?" She asked him, there is no way that Chat knew so why would he think like that. But once his words finally hit her, she blushed a little and looked away causing him to blush as well and making things awkward.
"W-well how could he be when you're amazing without the mask" He said, not realizing that he was saying this as Adrien and not as Chat.
"O-oh, you think so? I'm clumsy and doesn't do anything amazing like she does" She said, fiddling with her fingers. He looked at her, not believing her words on how she could think she wasn't anything else. Even though he had never realized it but she had always been a hero with or without the mask, it's just that he had finally opened his eyes and looked at Marinette properly.
"I do think so, and you might be clumsy but you've done things that has helped and saved people as Marinette as well. So you're even more amazing now when I know you're Marinette and Ladybug in one person." He said looking at her with care, he had finally realized that she was just like Ladybug even without the mask. The thing that is the difference is that she doesn't have her suit and physical strength.
"But. . . Even if Ladybug is me, it won't change the fact that what she has done isn't done by me. And I'm Marinette, not Ladybug" She said and looked sad, he doesn't understand it. But she looked at him causing him to jump a little at the sudden action.
"But why do you even want to know?" She asked, she had answered his question but she still doesn't understand why he asked her. He started to get nervous, he needs to show her now before it's to late.
"Hey, you should go to your lesson!" A teacher said and entered the classroom, both stood up and left without saying anything.
"Marinette, I need to show you something" He said grabbing her wrist stopping her in her track to the lesson. She looked at him, she got kinda scared at how serious he is and that made her nervous.
"The lesson is starting, w-we should go" She said trying to take her hand back, he looked at her and sigh and let go. He can't force her but the next fight he will show her who he is. He wants to be able to talk to her, tell her his feelings and make her realize how she amazes people just the way she is with or without the mask. Well at least how she amazes him just by being the way she is.
After arriving to the lesson which they were a little late for, Alya got suspicious and asked Marinette as soon as she sat down.
"What were you and Adrien doing? You were both late to the lesson, and he was looking at you the whole time" She said, Marinette don't know what was going on in his head and she looked at Alya and shrugged.
"I don't really know, He asked me a few things but that's it" Marinette lied to Alya, she didn't want to tell her he had asked about Chat Noir and who he is to her and if she wanted to know who he was. She had no idea what he wanted with it, but she was still happy since they got to talk. He had called her amazing and that there is nothing wrong with Ladybug being a middle schooler.
sHe started to giggle a little goofy in her seat and stole glances to Adrien that was siting in his seat trying to figure out what to do to get Marinette to see who he is. After the lesson the school was over, Alya dragged Marinette out of the classroom really quickly making Nino and Adrien to look confused at each others.
"Alya?" Marinette said as they exited school, and Alya turned to her with a big smile.
"I'm gonna ask you so many questions that I've been thinking about the whole day!" She said all excited and they went to the park, she didn't know what she could answer so she looked a little worried at Tikki that just smiled while nodding a little back instead.
"So! Sit down" She said once they reached a bench and they both sat down, she took up a pencil and a block. Marinette smiled awkwardly while Alya was getting excited that she can finally ask her questions
"So how did you become Ladybug?" She asked ready to write down anything Marinette answers, she hadn't excepted her to ask that question right away and she got lost for words. She looked at Tikki but back up fast not to make Alya suspicious of Tikki, but she had seen Tikki shake her head to not tell that.
"W-well I don't know I'm just somehow able to transform, I'm not really sure how" She said but Alya wasn't very pleased with the answer but tried to make Marinette answer but after 10 minutes of her refusing she gave up for now.
"Okay, why did you become Ladybug?" Alya asked, waiting for the answer she had. She looked at Alya and smiled a little but her eyes wasn't smiling. She remembered how she saw Alya getting crushed by the car and when Chat was getting taken away by the stone people.
"I was actually against it first, I didn't want to have that responsible on me. But when I saw you being crushed under that car I transformed again to save you, and then when I saw Paillion talk I decided to protect paris from him." She answered and Alya just folded the block and hugged her friend, they went to a cafe instead and then to Marinette where they talked more about Ladybug but not for the blog but because Alya wanted to know everything about Marinette and not because she wanted to know about Ladybug.
My decision still stands, I just wanted to finish this one so I didn't leave you guys hanging after getting your hopes up. I hope that it's not to short and good so you get an enjoyable Chapter. But I will still take a small break, So I hope I don't disappoint you all for leaving you handing for a while.
