Marichat: Always and Forever

Chapter Thirty-Three: This Would be The End

Nobody's POV

Adrien had woken up twenty minutes after Marinette had left.  He stretched contently.  It had been a little weird sleeping with his girlfriend since he certainly couldn't come home, but he couldn't be happier.  He looked down and smiled he was wearing the black and green paw print sweater she had made for him.

Once they could get Tikki back and fix the miracle box everything would be perfect! This would be the end!

Adrien's POV

I smiled reaching over to pepper my Princess with kisses... but she wasn't there.  I patted around for her on the bed, but-

I opened my eyes to see that she had left.

"Hick!"

"Marinette?" I called.

"Hick!"

"What the hell is that-"

He turned behind him to see Plagg.

"I'm-I'm so *hick* sorry kid." Plagg sobbed.

"Plagg what are you-"

The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. Fuck.

FUCK.

Nobody's POV

He ran down the streets frantically.  He knew exactly where she went.  The Arc de Triumph.  All the way around Paris. He had just gotten a notification on his phone from the Mayor and Ladybug, that said to not come outside, which means Marinette had planned to-

He couldn't think about that now.  He had to keep going.

As he was sprinting down the streets he saw a voicemail from Marinette.  Still running he swiped the message.

This couldn't be the end.

"Adrien... I love you... and that's why I lied." Shit. He ran down the bruised streets of Paris screaming for his lady to come out. Fear consumed him. If he didn't find her right now- He stopped in his tracks. His mind was yelling at him to go and look for Marinette but his body was stiff as a board. He couldn't move if he tried, suddenly he dropped to the ground clutching his heart. What the hell was going on. There was no fear or anger or pain, there was nothing... he didn't feel anything. Suddenly a voice came to him as a purple outline formed around his face, "Hello, Chat Blanc."

Marinette's POV

I knew exactly what I was doing.  I had made it to the Arc de Triumph. 

There was a fear though.  A pain.  To forget all of this.  I didn't want to forget anyone.  Even the people I used to wish I would like Lila or Chloe.  Life was a gift.  I didn't want to-

And Adrien.  I bared my teeth into my bottom lip just thinking about it.  I'm sure I tasted blood. Adrien.  My Adrien. My Kitty.  I didn't want to leave him at all.  I- the very thought-

I felt myself break down in tears.  I had to be strong though for Adrien, for everyone. 

I wanted to remember all of them.  I wanted to live.  I would still be loving even with my memory gone. Right?

I sighed.  I didn't even realizing how much I was shaking this-this was-

This was the end.

Nobody's POV

Marinette felt herself being pulled back.  She let out a stifled gasp.  One hand was on her chest and one on her waist.  She recognized the feel of leather.
