The Convenient Marriage (MLB Fanfiction) COMPLETE✔

The end?

Felix glanced up at the night sky. The weather in London had grown cold and at that moment Felix had grown used to it.     

It had been forever and a day since he had been in Paris. It no longer felt like home to him anymore.    
He sighed, his heart aching in his chest. He couldn't remember that last time he had seen Marinette, but he knew that what he did to her was unforgivable. As much as he hated to admit it, he was still in love with her. It didn't matter how many years it had been. 

Felix wouldn't wish what he did on his worst enemy. He couldn't understand how he could be so cruel as to hurt Marinette the way that he did. He was incredibly remorseful.  As he walked down the empty streets, his thoughts were heavy with regret. Every memory he had with Marinette seemed to be flashing before his eyes. He wished he could turn back time and make things right with her. But it was too late now. She had moved on, and he couldn't blame her for it.

Suddenly, a faint light caught his attention. It was coming from a small alleyway just ahead of him. Felix hesitated for a moment before his curiosity got the best of him, and he decided to check it out. As he walked closer, he realized that the light was coming from a small café.

The sign above the door read "Café de l'Amour" in bold letters.

Felix couldn't help but chuckle to himself at the irony of it all. He had lost the love of his life, and now he was standing in front of a café with the word "love" in its name. Felix pushed open the door and was met with the smell of fresh pastries.   
 A warm smile spread across his lips as he relished in the sweet scent. It had been so long since he smelled such a delight. The aroma almost brought him back to the memories of Marinette and the way she'd help out at her parents' bakery.   
 He bit his lip, his eyes scanning across the dining tables for a familiar face.    Surely, he wasn't aware of anyone in his past residing in London. But as he turned around to leave, his eyes locked onto a young woman sitting in the far corner of the café. She had her back facing him, but something about the way she held herself was familiar. Felix's heart began to race as he walked towards her. 

As he got closer, he could see that she was wearing a black beret and a striped shirt.

Marinette's favorite outfit.

Felix's breath caught in his throat as he realized that it wasn't her but indeed someone else from his past. 
For a moment, he froze, not knowing what to do. All the regret and pain he had been feeling suddenly exacerbated as he stood there, looking at her. 

Kagami turned around, and their eyes met. Felix felt a jolt of heat run through him as he saw her face again after all these years. 

"Kagami," he murmured , his voice barely above a whisper. 

Kagami turned looked at him, her expression unreadable.

"Felix," she said softly. "I thought I’d catch you here…” her voice trailed off.

Felix couldn't believe it. Kagami was the last person he expected to see here. The last time he saw her was right before he left Paris.

They had parted on bad terms, just like him and Marinette.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice still shaking.

"I could ask you the same," Kagami replied with a small smile. "I come here often. It's my favorite café in London."

Felix nodded slowly, still trying to process everything. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that it wasn't Marinette sitting in front of him. He wasn't sure if he could handle seeing her again after all this time.

"How have you been?" Kagami asked, breaking the small silence between them.

"I've been... okay," Felix replied hesitantly. "What about you?"

"I'm doing well," Kagami said with a smile. “Never thought I’d end up here in London…" a small smile swept onto her lips.

Felix shifted his weight, his eyes narrowing slightly. He knew Kagami long enough to know when she was up to something.

"So, what brings you to London?" Felix asked, trying to ignore the suspicious feeling he had in his gut.

"I needed a change of scenery," Kagami replied with a shrug. "Paris was getting too suffocating, you know?"

Felix nodded slowly, not fully convinced.

"And what about you?" Kagami asked, tilting her head to the side. "What brings you to this café?"

Felix hesitated for a moment, not wanting to reveal the painful truth that he had just been wondering around aimlessly, wallowing in his own self-pity at the loss of Marinette. But something in Kagami's expression softened, and he found himself opening up to her.

"I was just taking a walk, trying to clear my head," he conceded half heartedly. "I've been thinking a lot lately about things that I regret."

Kagami nodded as she placed a hand on top of his shoulder. "I know how that feels," she said softly. "But what if I told you that you can go back? What if I told you that you can still get whatever you wanted, even if everything doesn’t look like it.”

Felix raised an eyebrow, confused by Kagami's words.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Kagami smiled knowingly. "I mean that the past doesn't have to dictate your future," she said. "We can always go back."

Felix's heart raced as he thought about Marinette. The mere mention of her name sent waves of emotion through his body. He couldn't help but wonder if there was still a chance for them.

"Go back?”he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Kagami nodded firmly.

"Yes," she said. "But you have to work with me…" Felix took a deep breath and began to take a few steps back.

"I don’t know what you mean by that," he said. 

Kagami's eyes twinkled mischievously as she stepped closer to him, closing the space between them.

"I mean, we have to make a plan," she said, a sly grin creeping onto her lips.

"We can find a way to the way our lives were before Marinette and Adrien found each other."
She bit her lip, her brown eyes glancing down briefly before looking at him once more. “The only difference is that there’s a child in the way…”

Felix's eyes widened at the mention of a child.

"What child?" he asked, his heart pounding in his chest.

Kagami hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Marinette's child," she said, her voice laced with anger and emotion. "She had a baby with Adrien."

Felix felt like he had been punched in the gut. He couldn't believe it. The love of his life had moved on and started a family with someone else. It was like a knife had been plunged deep into his heart.

"I don't know if I can do it," Felix said, his voice quivering as he spoke. "I don't know if I can see her with someone else." The mere thought of it made him sick.
Kagami tightened her hand on his shoulder, feigning him comfort. "I know it's hard," she said.

"But think about it this way. If you don't try, you'll never know what could have been. And who knows, maybe Marinette is still in love with you too."

Felix looked at Kagami with doubt. He wasn’t that naive. He knew there was more to the story, but Felix couldn’t bring himself to investigate.

If there was a chance he could get Marinette back, he was willing to do it.perhaps him and Kagami had more in common now than ever.
Felix never really second guessed himself, but what if her "plan" worked?

He’d have the love of his life and Adrien gone forever.
It all sounded wrong, but the thought of it all was all too tempting. Felix squared his shoulders and glanced at her.

“Okay, so what do you have in mind?”
