Song Recommendation: I Think I'm In Love Again - Kat Dhalia
This chapter is more filler than anything but it'll be important for the ending of the story. I promise.
Anyhow, enjoy!
{No POV}
-The Following Day-
Marianne and Jason awoke naked in their bed together.
"You ready for another day?" Asked Jason with a smile as he held her close to him.
"Always, when you are with me Kitten." Answered Marianne with a smile and a light blush on her face.
They brought their faces close and shared a chaste kiss before pulling apart and smirking.
"So what's the strategy for today My Queen?" Asked Jason playfully.
"Divide and conquer."
"Who's making breakfast today?"
"You are kitten, I have to go to my family's bakery to talk with them, then I have to go to work at the studio for the recording session for our new single, then I have to stop by the hospital to see the Little Monkey, and then I have to go fill in Master Fu. It'll take me a while to prepare for everything on the agenda today."
"True, meanwhile I have to mainly focus on helping the others put the plan into motion and I have to go to our stylist for that makeover at 3pm before going to the venue for that concert rehearsal for that concert we'll be performing in a month with Clara Nightingale and Jagged Stone."
"True. By the way say hi to them and Penny for me." Marianne said as she sat at the vanity now freshened up and brushing her hair out.
"Will do love." Said Jason as he came out of the bathroom freshened up.
Jason then promptly went to the kitchen and began to cook while Marianne headed to a music room and began to warm up her voice.
- Later That Morning -
Marinette awoke hazily to see Gabriel Agreste sitting quietly with his secretary nearby.
"Monsieur Agreste?" Greeted Marinette confused.
"Oh. Good morning Miss Marinette... I apologize if this is too surprising for you..." Gabriel greeted awkwardly in return.
"G-good morning sir... It's no trouble just a bit awkward..." Said Marinette with a blush on her face.
"I just wanted to get to know the girl who has earned my son's heart... I have never seen Adrien so downright terrified about the well being of anyone. Not since his mother walked out on us ten years ago." Gabriel revealed awkwardly.
Marinette blushed but smiled awkwardly.
"Well... It means a lot to me to know I mean so much to him... He means a lot to me..." Said Marinette shyly but thinking back to all the memories she has had with Adrien as Adrien and as Chat Noir.
Gabriel was shocked with the kindness, and love, radiating from the girl's smile. It was a lot like those of Natalie when they were alone and like those of his late wife years before she lost sight of who she once was.
So he smiled back gently.
"I have no doubts that you and my son will be happy together. I only hope that you two find the utmost happiness in each other always." Gabriel said somewhat warmly before handing Marinette a gift.
"Hm? What's this?" Questioned Marinette in shock.
"Just a small token of my hope for your swift recovery and of my gratitude for helping Adrien as much as I have been informed you have." Responded Gabriel kindly before he left with Natalie.
-Later With Jason-
"Hey there man! rock n' roll! What's that tune your playing there?" Questioned Jagged as he watched and listened to Jason play his guitar.
Jason chuckled. "It's my wife and I's newest song that we have been working on for our newest album..." Jason explained.
"That is so lovely with it's lively ring! It makes me want to sing!" Clara gushed.
"That is so rock and roll! Play it for us!"
"She sings this one so I cant, it wouldn't sound right if i did."
"Well thank goodness I managed to make it after all, huh Kitten?" Marianne said suddenly giving him a hug from behind.
Jason chuckled and suddenly flipped her so she would right herself to be in front of him which she did very easily.
"Woah you two are so awesome!"
"That is super rock and roll!"
Penny just sighed relieved that it wasnt a sudden fight between lovers.
Marianne then laughed along with Jason.
"It isn't that big of a deal, we used to fence and do karate together all the time back when we were younger. But we had to stop having actual practice. So we decided from time to time we would practice karate or fencing moves on each other from time to time to keep our skills sharp." Marianne explained sweetly.
"That's awesome but a little warning would be nice." Penny said sweetly.
Marianne gazed at her apologetically before Jason began strumming once more.
[Read with the song "I Think Im In Love Again" by Kat Dhalia with the rest of this chapter. P.S. I am cutting out some of the lyrics because they dont pertain to these characters or this story.]
Marianne smile and began to sing.
Time's a ticking hearts are running
Think that Cupid's up to something
You ask me how I feel I say nothing
Marianne rolled her eyes at Jason's proud smirk but smiled nonetheless.
-With Chloe-
As Chloe walked with Sabrina through the halls she saw the art classroom empty.
"Sabrina. Go on your own to lunch today. I need some me-time right now." Chloe said unemotively walking past the Art Classroom on purpose to deter Sabrina from finding her there later.
"Um.. Okay Chloe... See you later I suppose." Sabrina said sweetly as always before leaving in the opposite direction of where Chloe was pretending to head.
So she took her chance and snuck back into the classroom and set up a station for her to paint.
Something she loved since she could first remember.
Not that she'd ever admit to it.
So she began to paint on a canvas, in hopes of releasing some of her pent up emotions without anyone seeing her as vulnerable.
"You've got great skills." A soothing yet quiet and soft male voice said from behind her after a while making her freeze in shock.
"What's it to you, Nathaniel?" Chloe barked faking anger so that she could excuse the flushing of her face and simultaneously drive him away.
"You can drop the act, Chloe. We're all alone and I've seen you like this before. I've seen you more vulnerable than this before too. If you've forgotten." Nathaniel said gently as he tied his hair back.
"Yeah right! As if i'd ever show any weakness around you!" Chloe barked feigning ignorance.
Nathaniel sighed but smiled with a light blush as he set up a station right next to her.
"What are you doing?" She questioned shocked and unable to hide it.
"I'm setting up a station."
"Why?"
"Because I want to paint with you."
"But why paint with me?! I have made your life hell." Chloe bit back unaware of tears now flowing down her cheeks.
"Because even if you act like a bitch, the truth is you are only human underneath it all and you hurt and get lonely just like everyone else. You look like you're overdue for someone to just sit quietly next to you and understand your silence. I figure a silent person like me is good enough right?" Said Nathaniel with a shy but kind smile.
Chloe was still too shocked to react even as Nathaniel quietly smiled and used a hankerchief from his pocket to wipe her face clean after sitting down.
Chloe then awkwardly turned back to her painting with a large blush on her face as she focused once more on her painting.
But lately colors seems so bright
And the stars light up the night
My feet they feel so light
I'm ignoring all the signs
I keep on frontin'
They ask they bluffin'
I keep you wondering
Keep you hunting for my lovin'
But I crave us hugging
Yeah stay stubborn
'Cause I can't admit that you got all the strings
And know just how tug 'em
-With Alya and Nino-
As the young couple walks around town they begin chatting about and then sit at a bench at the park just looking at all the people passing by together feeling total peace.
I think I'm in love again
In my head yeah you're in my head
I think I'm in love again
In my head yeah you're in my head
I didn't think it could be true
Let alone that it would be you
I think I'm in love again
I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love
-With Adrien and Marinette-
"So my dad visited you and left you with this sketchbook as a gift?" Asked Adrien surprised.
Marinette smiled. "He did. He also wished us the best in our relationship and kept looking over with a goofy grin similar to yours at Natalie while we spoke. Seems to me we're missing some pieces to our puzzle. Because him and Natalie looked pretty in love to me." She answered calmly but sweetly.
"Hm... Definitely sounds like it My Lady, but back to the business at hand, how are you feeling today?" Adrien asked with a smile, sitting next to her and holding her hands lovingly.
"I'm getting there. The doctor said that with how well I have been recovering I will be moving out of the ICU and to a VIP room that was paid for by your father in one week instead of two." Marinette answered happily and sweetly as always.
"That's wonderful Marinette! I'm so glad you're recovering so quickly. I have no idea what I would do without you." Adrien said happily.
Marinette smiled brightly and hugged him close.
"You will hopefully never have to find out Adrien. I will never leave you. At least not by choice." Marinette said cheerfully.
They smiled at each other and then shared a light yet loving kiss.
My heart's pacing
I'm confused I'm dazing
I saw something I never seen in you
it's got me shaking
I must be hallucinating
I hear it happens, I'm just saying
Babe I'm just saying
Someone give me some paper
Someone give me some crayons
I'm feeling like a child
I need something to play on
I'm trying hard to trust you
When you say give me your hand
Baby I'm falling
I hope you catch me when I land
-With Nora and Kyle-
Nora sighed at her table in the coffe shop cradling her coffee tightly in her hands as she tried to process the information she had received tthe previous day.
Then a person took a seat across from her.
"It's been a while Nora, what has you down?" Questioned a voice far too familiar to her.
"Kyle. Haven't seen you in a long time now. Nothing has me actually down, I am just trying to disconnect from some heavy stuff that's been going on lately. How have you been?" Answered Nora calmly and kindly.
"Been better. Lately the others at work have been very harsh with me on my work... I took advantage that today is my day off to actually try and disconnect from all of it." Kyle answered.
"Want to go jogging together at the Trocadero like we used to back when we were teens?" Asked Nora laughing lightly.
"Sure thing! It's been a while since I've been able to go jogging peacefully like that." Said Kyle with a loving smile.
The two then stood up and started walking to the Trocadero laughing and chatting pleasantly, causing feelings that had been buried to slowly rise again.
I think I'm in love again
In my head yea you're in my head
I think I'm in love again
In my head yea you're in my head
I didn't think it could be true
Let alone that it would be you
I think I'm in love again
I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love
-At the studio-
Penny watched still as mesmerized as before as Clara swayed to the music while Marianne and Jason sat peacefully together as she sang.
She wondered if Jagged would ever be able to love her like that. Then sighed under her breath at the realization it was unlikely struck her.
Unaware of Jagged walking towards her until he stood in front of her with a hand stretched out towards her.
"Wanna dance, Penny?" Asked Jagged.
Penny smiled awkwardly with a light blush. "I'd love to."
In my dreams you're the dutch and
I'm the dutchess
We always get the munchies
And we go for early brunches
That turn into late lunches
And we ain't got a label
We just rolling with the punches
As the two danced Marianne and Jason watched them with a smile before turning their attentions back to each other.
-With Chloe and Nath-
The two continue to paint while this time arguing with blushes on about random things.
I make fun of your belly
And tell you to do some crunches
And you say well yea your ass jiggles
Go do some lunges
I say fuck you
While I'm thinking of you as my husband
-With Marianne and Jason-
As the song nears a close, Marianne hugs Jason and kisses his forehead before singing the last verse of the song.
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love again
In my head yea you're in my head
Baby I think I'm in love again
I think I'm in love again
In my head yea you're in my head
I didn't think it could be true
Let alone that it would be you
I think I'm in love again
I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love
I think I'm in love again
Marianne smiled as the song came to an end and hugged her husband and partner for life closely.
"That was so wonderful and exciting! Just so inspiring! I just got so moved! I'm going to go call my husband and tell him how much I've been swooned! Excuse me!" Clara said moved.
The others laughed before finally getting to work.
Unaware of the craziness about to unfold that very night.
