Note: This alternate ending would come after chapter 3 or 4 when Marinette goes to America. Also, sorry its been awhile since I posted a chapter... I kind of lost motivation after season 1 ended. Aaandd since its been awhile since I wrote something, I kind of forget how to write a decent story but I hope u enjoy lol XD. Uh this chapter is a long one because I didn't want to make two parts
Marinette is now in America and her dream of becoming a fashion designer is finally coming true. She spends a good amount of time there and Adrien had visited her only once because his father was against him visiting her over in America. The girl started to feel a little bit lonely, and skyping with Adrien didn't really make her feel any better. Because he couldn't see his girlfriend in person, he started to get a little depressed. The time difference and their different schedules made it almost impossible to talk. They would go weeks without talking to each other, and when they actually had the time to talk, the conversation wouldn't last very long. Adrien's new friends tried really hard to cheer him up, though he never told them why he was unhappy. He's been hanging out with his friends pretty often after class, Chloe being one of them. Surprisingly, she had matured and become less bitchy.
One rainy night, Marinette calls Adrien on skype to tell him that the company was branching out into Paris, but he seemed busy and didn't pay much attention to her.
"Adrien!" the girl tried to get her boyfriend's attention, seeing Adrien like this made her unhappy. Marinette wanted to talk to him about this, about them, but at the same time, she just wanted to hang up on him. During the moment of silence, Mari decided to try to talk to Adrien now and consult Alya later.
"I'm sorry Marinette." Adrien started to say, his expression was angry yet sad. He seemed stressed about something. "Do you still love me?" the boy continued, looking up at the girl through the camera. The wind and rain outside getting stronger and louder.
"Y-" she wanted to say yes, but the word "still" made her hesitate. Has Adrien been doubting their love? Were they even still in love? Mari didn't answer his question. The boy covered his face in frustration, making a quiet grunting noise to himself. He wasn't sure what to do and he wasn't sure how he felt about her now. As he was about to say something else, the power went out, ending the skype call. Deep down, the girl was glad the call ended. Her boyfriend wasn't happy? Was she still happy with Adrien?
Back at the company building, KC had noticed the change of attitude in Marinette.
"Good morning, Marinette." KC says with a smile as the gloomy girl walks past him without replying. The girl sits down in her cubicle looking around at all of her pictures with her friends and family. Slowly, she picks up the picture of her and Adrien and looks at it with sad eyes as she hides the picture in her drawer. Thinking of Adrien would just be distracting. KC looks at the girl, leaning on her cubicle.
"Hey, you ok?" he asks, worried.
"Yea." she says quietly, because she didn't know what else to say. Her supervisor couldn't stand seeing Mari like this, he had to do something.
"Hey, wanna watch a movie later? My treat. We coouldd see the new TMNT movie orrr Finding Dory."
Marinette giggles softly, making KC smile.
"Soo I'll pick you up. After work uhhh seven?" he says, a little nervous.
"Sure." Mari says, feeling better.
"Sweet! And maybe we could have dinner too?" KC says, taking a few steps back. The girl answers with a nod. Her supervisor turns around and celebrates to himself "Yess!"
Marinette is now in her room getting ready for the night. Why was she acting this way? Why wasn't she trying to fix things like what Ladybug would do?... She hasn't been ladybug in a long time, no one needed her anymore. Maybe she could be normal again, pretend she was never Ladybug.
(i realized i never described KC's appearance before.. He's my oc, just saying. Also, sorry for using a character thats not in the show)
KC knocks on her door, dressed in black jeans with Tim's boots and a white tee with a deep v-neck.
The deep v of the shirt revealed part of a tattoo on his chest. He looked… really cool. KC also had gauges and adorable freckles. His outfit right now looks way better on him than his office uniform.
"Hey." he said while scratching the back of his head. "I look totally different, don't I?"
"Totally.." the girl replies.
"To be honest, I have more piercings, but I didn't wear them cuz I didn't want to scare you."
"You look.. So cool.. And different." she says, trying to get used to the different appearance. For some reason, she wondered if this would make Adrien jealous.
"Is that a good thing?" he asks and she answers with a nod.
"Well you're looking cute yourself." KC says with a smirk. He had always thought she was cute, but never said anything because he knew she had Adrien
They finally get to the theatre and they share a medium popcorn and soda. After watching the movie, they walk around the city and go through stores. As they're walking, Marinette sees a cute little restaurant. KC realises what she's looking at and pulls her by the hand, into the restaurant. Neither of them were too hungry, so they just order one dessert to share.
"I asked you to hang out with me so I could cheer you up, you know." her supervisor said. Mari didn't say anything and played with her food a little.
"Alright, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Could I ask you some questions?" Again, she says nothing, but looks up at him.
"What is… your favorite color?"
"Red."
"Second question. How old are you?"
"Twenty one… You?"
"I'm twenty four." he says with a smirk. They continue asking each other questions until they finished their dessert. It was about 10pm and it was dark out, so KC takes Marinette home. She invites him inside to talk some more. They were both enjoying each other's company. KC gets comfortable and takes off his black leather jacket as he sits on her small sofa. They get to know a lot more about each other and lose track of time. There was now a moment of silence and their faces were close, both of their hearts raced. Slowly leaning toward each other, their lips finally meet and they share a small soft kiss.
"It's already midnight?! Oh no, you shouldn't drive in the middle of the night. Plus you must be exhausted. Would you like to stay for the night?" the girl asks, blushing. He looks at her, also blushing, of course he'd like to sleep over.
"Uh, yea. Thanks." he says as Mari gets up.
"Wait. one more question." he starts to say. The girl took a few steps toward her bedroom, then turned around.
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't help but ask. Are you and Adrien still together?" he just had to bring this up. Marinette was still very sensitive to this subject. The girl doesn't answer, but cries. She knew what she had done, she just kiss a guy who wasn't Adrien. KC quickly gets up and rushes to her side, holding her, comforting her.
"I'm sorry, but I love you. I don't know what's going on with you and that guy, but I can tell it's not good. Stay by my side and I'll make you happy." Marinette actually considered it.
Slowly, she calmed down and fell asleep in his arms. He picks her up and tucks her into bed, then kisses her lips one more time. Thinking to himself, he remembers he has Adrien's email. While Mari is asleep, KC decides to let Adrien know his thoughts on Marinette.
In the morning, the girl gets a skype call on her phone which wakes up KC. It's Adrien- she hesitates, then picks up.
"Adrien?" she says, rubbing her eyes.
"What the hell." he says, obviously angry. The girl was slightly confused, why was he mad at her? KC gets off of the sofa and walks into her bedroom. Adrien sees him walk in shirtless then Marinette turns around.
"Why are you shirtless?!" she asks.
"Because I like sleeping this way." he said right before he stretched his arms in the air. He takes a closer look at Marinette's phone, "Is that Adrien? Did you get my email?"
"Yes, I did." Adrien replies, still upset. Right after he said that, KC takes the phone from the girl's hand and says "Listen, break up with Marinette. You're making her miserable now and I can make her happy. She doesn't need you anymore and if you're not doing anything to show her you still love her, I guess you don't need her either." Adrien is silent for a moment.
"Okay…" he finally says. Marinette's eyes widen. The boy she once loved wants to break up with her?
"She's mine now, so leaver her alone and stay with Chloe." KC retorts.
"Chloe? What about Chloe?" Mari asks.
"There's a rumor that Mr. Agreste is dating his childhood friend."
Adrien sighs and looks away from the camera.
"You were cheating on me?!" Marinette raised her voice.
"I'm sorry, it- it just happened. I'm sorry." Adrien says.
"How long?" the girl asks, but no answer.
"I said, how long?!"
"About a month?"
Marinette couldn't believe this was happening.
"KC is right, we don't need each other anymore." the girl says as her eyes watered.
"Marinette?" says Adrien.
"Goodbye." Mari says, hanging up the skype call.
"I'm sorry." KC says as the girl stands up to hug him. They stay like that for a moment until Marinette moves back to look at him. His hands were on her waist, moving down to her butt and her arms were wrapped around his neck. Their kiss is more passionate now that they know they don't have to worry about anything.
"I love you." KC whispers on her lips.
