Fanfic Confession
I do not own miraculous ladybug
Marinette and Adrien are making their way to the shop. The wetter is nice, the sun is shining. It is not to warm and not to cold, almost no wind. At first they both were silent. After a while both tried some small talk. Like": '' The wetter is nice right?'' ''Y-Yeah it is, isn't it?'' Marinette's cheek were red, if not from walking besides Adrien than probably from embarrassment from letting him fall. Even though she apologized a hundred times, even though Adrien said he was fine, that she shouldn't be mad at herself since it was an accident. Marinette wanted to bang her head against the wall. Ugh she is such a schlemazzel.
But once they were on a subject they both enjoyed talking about, the conversation was nice. No awkwardness or anything like that. They talked about things they did with their friends, about school and the teachers, about cute animal videos, about the newest games, Which Marinette sadly didn't have but Adrien made the suggestion that next time they hang out they can play it at his home. Marinette almost squeals but could control herself. She shouldn't fangirl so much, Adrien probably wants someone who can act normal around him. Marinette is to her surprise able to.
When they are almost at the shop Adrien looks at the ground and then slowly at Marinette.
''I..um..'' He scratches his head. '' I wanted to thank you for spending today with me... Chloe can sometimes ...you know.''
''Can get very clingy?'' Marinette finishes. Adrien raises his Eyebrows in how bold Marinette said that but laughs.
''Yeah...'' he sighs after a while.
*Ringtone: Never never give up! Turn around and stand up! It is okay to fall down... and go up!*
''Oh it is from Alya?'' Marinette says as she takes out her cell phone. '' Is it alright if I take it?''
''Sure I will wait on than bench over there.'' Adrien says as he points to it and Marinette nods.
''Alya, why are you calling?''
''Checking up on you of course! Well how is the date going?''
''Well the beginning was awkward but I guess things are going fine now.''
''Good. ''
''But Alya, you said that you were going to find out who Adrien has confessed to, how are you going to do that?''
''Just wait I have my sources. I will tell you when I know. So what are you doing with Adrien?''
''Walking to that new shop, Adrien is waiting at the bench.'' Marinette says as she turns around.
''Oh no.'' Her eyes slightly widen.
''What's wrong?'' Worry clouds Alya's words.
''Adrien is sitting on the bench but is getting harassed by some girl.'' She is slowly hovering closer to him, even though he tries to keep her out of his personal space.
''Well go save the boy.'' Alya says and Marinette pushes the red button.
All right Marinette calm down. You can do this. You can fight akuma's, save Paris, you can stand up to Chloe so this girl should be easy. Come on Adrien is in a pinch. Adrien is to nice for his own good and has a public image to maintain. C'mon Marinette! Find your courage!
Channel your inner ladybug!
Marinette takes a deep breath and marches towards Adrien and the girl, back straight, shoulders up.
''Come on, let's hang out for a while. '' The Girl who decided to sit on his right says. She has short blond hair and wears a little too small clothing.
''Sorry but I-'' Adrien gets interrupted by the girl. ''Don't be like that.'' She says as she puts her arm around him. '' We know each other, we have modelled together before you know?''
''Ofcourse I remember.'' Adrien says trying to break himself loose.
This is one of the new models for his father's line, he must behave nice to her otherwise it could reflect badly on his father. Who knows what the girl would say to the media if he hurt her? Ow why can't he stand up for himself and say what he wants to say.
''We could go swimming.'' She whispers into his ear.
''Echum. '' Marinette fakes a cough and steps closer towards the girl and Adrien. '' Sorry for the wait Adrien.''
''Marinette.'' Adrien smiles with a face that says: please save me.
''Who is that?'' The girl , Maylena says in a bitchy voice.
''Marinette, she is my friend.'' Adrien says, finally seeing his chance. ''Sorry, maybe I can hang out with you some other time.'' He peels himself from her grip and steps towards Marinette. But Maylena is having none of that, she takes him by the arm and pulls him towards her.
''I think I am more suited to hang out with you today, we are both models after all.'' She smiles sweetly.
''Really I...'' Adrien begins.
While all this is happening Marinette has enough of this. Always when she is close with Adrien something has to go wrong. Be it an akuma attack or Chloe. This time she is not going to back down. She steps forward, takes a hold of Adrien's other arm, pulls him towards her with so much force that he falls into her arms and the girl is forced off the bench, falling with her knees on the ground.
''I am so sorry, but he is with me.'' Marinette apologizes. She then turns around, not giving the girl another glance as her mouth falls open, taking Adrien with her.
Author's note
A longer chapter than usual, but I didn't feel like splitting it. I hope you guys like it. Next chapter will probably be the end of the date, I keep changing it sorry. I tried writing Marinette show her ladybug, more confident side.
