Don't Go Chapter 4
"What are you doing here so late Adrien?" Marinette asked groggily as she tried to wake herself up more.
Adrien scratched the back of his neck as he awkwardly answered "I don't really know… I just couldn't stop thinking about you I guess, I've never really felt like this before and I didn't know what to do…" Adriens cheeks turned a faint pink. Marinette's mouth hangs agape, she didn't know what to think at this point. She should be angry that he woke her up from her slumber, but then again, he did just confess that he can't stop thinking about her…
Marinette moved to the side to allow Adrien to come inside, not really knowing what to do or say. She brushed a hand through her hair as she breathed out loudly. What was she going to tell her parents this time? That was a thought for the future, she couldn't just kick him out now…. "Just make yourself at home for the moment, I'll find a place for you to sleep." Marinette walked to the cupboard and opened it as quietly as possible as she took the mattress out with effort, placing a pillow and doona in her right arm.
Trudging through the hallway with her arms full, she reached the staircase. Marinette stared down her opponent as she started climbing up the stairs. Marinette made it up to the first step and took a second to breathe before continuing her journey up the stairs. Once Marinette had concluded her journey to the top of the stairs, she let go of the mattress and decided to start pulling it instead. Marinette made her way to her doorstep in hope of figuring out what they were. I mean, if he didn't like me then why would he be here. At my house. In the middle of the night saying he can't stop thinking about me…. OMG! Marinette had a mini party as she thought about this new info that she had learnt, that means he likes me, right?
Marinettes thoughts were interrupted as she looked up to see him sitting on her, fiddling with his fingers. Marinette couldn't help but wonder what he was doing, so she decided she might as well figure it out!
Marinette crept up behind the wall to her room as she crouched to the floor in anticipation as to what she would find out. Marinette heard a loud release of breath as Adrien ran his hands through his hair as Marinette presumed he had stared speaking to himself. It was only when she made out what the conversation had been about that she realised that he wasn't talking to himself…
"*sigh* should I tell Marinette who I really am, Plagg?" Marinette was shocked by this, is Adrien a criminal? I need to arm myself, oh, don't be so stupid! This is Adrien, he's a model and a perfect student. He doesn't have a bad bone in his entire body, there's no way he's a criminal… but you can never be too cautious….
"It's not my decision, Adrien." Marinette was starting to get worried, who was the invader in her house? Was he going to kill her and/or her parents? And if so, it would be all her fault for inviting him into their house… By this point, Marinette was terrified and nervous for her parents' reactions.
"You should hide, Plagg, before she comes back." Without further commotion, the visitor was gone. Marinette sighed in relief. Marinette came rushing through the doors and tried to ask as casually as possible. "Hey, can you help bring the stuff in from the hallway?"
"Yeah, sure." Marinette just nodded once in response. Marinette stayed in the room a while longer as she looked at all the things in her room, making sure that no-one was in there besides her. Once Marinette was convinced no one else was there she turned on her heel and went to go help Adrien with the mattress and the sheets.
-Morning-
Marinette woke up, jumping out of her bed and tripping over Adrien, waking him up in the process. Adrien grunted as she had kicked him in the stomach by accident and freaked her out. Adrien laughed at this and tried to go back to sleep. Marinette rolled her eyes at his sleepiness but then thought of how she didn't want to get up either. Once it was around 8:00 Marinettes parents came in the room to, "Marinette, would you-, oh sorry," her mother replied as she looked at Marinette and then Adrien who was trying his hardest to keep his eyes open. "Yes, mama?" Marinette was confused as to why her mother was in here, only for her to read her mind when she replied,
"I was just wondering what you would like for breakfast." Adrien and Marinette thought about this for a while until Marinette responded with,
"Can I have bacon and eggs?" Her mother nodded and looked at Adrien questionably. Adrien could not tell that she was looking at him as his eyes where still closed, so her mother quietly laughed as she asked and what would you like, Adrien?"
"I'll have the same if that's alright." Her mother nodded slightly. She gave the pair one last glance before leaving the room.
- After the Breakfast -
"Alright well, I best be on my way, see you on Monday, Mari." Marinette gave Adrien a sincere smile as she nodded and headed back inside with her family as her parents yelled out,
"Goodbye Mr. Agreste!" And,
"Have a nice day Adrien!" As he turned around and smiled at them and would respond like:
"You too!"
"Goodbye Mr, and Mrs Dupain-Cheng! Have a lovely day!" Until Marinette came back outside and dragged them back inside as she told them,
"Stooooooop, you're embarrassing me! Come on Mama and Papa, I think your pastries are burning!"
Her Papa immediately ran inside to check it out as Marinette laughed at her Papas response to what she had suggested, her mother doing the same.
Once Marinette was inside she decided to get dressed before she was going to head out with Alya to their normal coffee shop. Once Marinette had found the outfit she wanted to wear, she began her trip to the coffee shop.
Marinette was to meet up with Alya and chat at their usual coffee shop before should would go home to start the assignment she was given earlier that Wednesday, which was due that next Thursday.
Before Marinette could reach the coffee shop, she bumped into Nathaniel. And when she says 'bumped' she really means bumped, causing Nathaniel to drop part of his coffee on what looked to be his assignment. Man, she really was good at ruining things…
"I'm so sorry, Nathaniel. I really didn't mean to do that, here let me help you." Marinette started to help pick up the coffee covered pieces of paper trying not to rip accidentally.
"It's okay Marinette, I have it saved on my computer." Nathaniel looked at his computer that he had accidentally dropped on the floor in the process. Marinette was crossing anything and everything she could that she hadn't just broken his computer.
When he opened the computer, the suspense was killing her. If she had broken his computer, what would she do? She could give him hers, then explain to her parent why she no longer had a computer but that just seemed like a bad idea. Maybe she could get a job and pay of her debt that she now owed? That seemed like the best idea she could come up with currently.
Nathaniel looked relived, which resulted in Marinette releasing a breath she hadn't realised he had been holding. Nathaniel looked up and told her,
"It's not broken or even cracked, don't worry." Marinette smiled at this as she got up reached her hand out to him, to which he took. Once they were both standing in their spot, Marinette couldn't help but feel bad as she repetitively told Nathaniel she was
"So, so, so sorry for what I did!" Nathaniel waved his hands as he would reply with,
"Nonsense, I've done the exact same thing before, don't sweat it." Marinette was about to leave when Nathaniel stopped her to say something, Marinette was confused but stood where she was standing before as he said,
"Hey, so I was wondering…" Nathaniel stretched as he nervously looked at everything but her until she asked him,
"You were wondering….?" Marinette answered trying to jog his memory in case he had forgotten.
"Oh yeah, I was wondering if you wanted to, you know, go out with me sometime?" Nathaniel only dared to look at her in the eyes when he had finished his question to see the look on her face. Marinettes face was filled with confusion, does he know about me and Adrien? And if so, how do I turn him down? Or what if he does, then what do I say/do?
"Marinette?" Nathaniel asked as Marinette was staring at him with her mind clouded with thoughts, she was pulled out of her stupor with the word and shook her head, as if trying to shake the thoughts out of her head. Marinette took a deep breath in before clearing her mind she looked down at the ground and answered,
"I'm sorry Nathaniel, I'm with Adrien now…" Marinette looked at him with worry in her eyes as he replied with a simple,
"Sorry, I didn't know." Marinette slightly shifted feeling uncomfortable with the situation at hand but asked,
"We're still friends, right?" Nathaniel nodded,
"Of course, hey, can I borrow your phone for a second?" Marinette nodded as she reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, handing it to him. Nathaniel began typing things into her phone and handed it back moments later with a new phone number in her contacts list.
"If you ever need anything or ever want to talk, I'll be there. Anyway, I better go, my dad's waiting for me in the car."
"Bye Nathaniel! Have a nice day!"
"You too Marinette! Bye!" Marinette waved goodbye once more as he started to jog to the car slowly due to all the things he was holding. Marinette watched the direction he was in until it hit her why was she here? Marinette checked the time on her phone as she then remembered, crap! I was supposed to meet up with Alya 20 minutes ago! I better run!
