The Marionette x Reader - No Strings Attached

Chapter 24

Readers p.o.v

Mari kept on running with me in his arms until we arrived at my house. He put me down and shut the door. He chuckled and smiled

"We made it" He smiled at me but I just glared "Huh? Y/n what's wrong?"

"You made me leave Mike" He sighed

"Babe there was nothing we could do" He went to stroke my cheek but I moved away from him

"You didn't even let me try Mari. He was helping us and standing up for us and you just let him die. You could have helped, your stronger than both of us"

"If I had done that Vincent could have killed me"

"But what about Mike!"

"Why do you care about Mike so much! Wasn't he the one that got us in that mess!"

"Yes but he's my friend Mari! What are you jealous?" He looked down "Do you really think I love Mike Mari? After all we have been through.." He just stayed quiet and I felt my eyes tear up "Fine...good night" I ran past him and went up to my room and slammed the door shut, then jumped onto my bed and began to cry.

Mari's p.o.v

I sighed to myself and sat down in the living room and looked down at the ground. I wasn't jealous, and I knew she didn't love Mike, but I couldn't understand why she cared for him so much. My eyes began to water as a thought came to my head

"Maybe its because...I'm not human anymore...maybe she cares for him because he's a human and I'm not..." I buried my face into my hands as I cried, thoughts pilling up in my head "But then..,if she didn't love me she wouldn't have been worried about me all those times...and she wouldn't have fought for us..." I sighed as I began to feel awful, and also felt selfish. All of my actions had been for her, but I never asked what she wanted...then when she tried to talk I got angry.

A few moments later I stood up and walked up the stairs to go and see Y/n. I wasn't sure if she would want to see me, but I needed to apologise to her. I knocked on the door but heard no reply so I opened it softly to see her asleep on the bed. I walked to her and laid down behind her, and wrapped my arms around her pulling her close to my body. I lightly stroked her hair and her cheeks, feeling that they were slightly wet from her tears.

"Y/n I am so sorry..." I whispered softly. I then felt her move slightly and she turned around to face me

"I'm sorry too.." I held her closer and looked down

"No you don't need to be sorry, I was just jealous of how much you care for Mike and I didn't understand why. But I know that you love me and you care for me as well. You were just trying to protect your friend but I stopped you...because I wanted to keep you safe, but I didn't ask you what you wanted...I'm sorry..." Suddenly I felt her arms wrap tightly around my neck and I held her close. I could hear that she was crying again and I stroked her hair softly.

"Mari I love you, and I'm also sorry. If Vincent had hurt or killed you I don't know what I would do.." I lightly kissed her fore head and wiped her cheeks

"I love you too, and don't worry, I love you too much to die" I smiled and kissed her gently, pulling her closer to my body.

I kissed him back and stayed close to his body. I was happy that he understood, but I was still upset about Mike. He pulled away from the kiss and looked at me

"And I'm sorry about Mike Y/n"

"Its okay..." I heard him about to speak but then my phone began to ring. I picked it up and put it to my ear "Hello?" I heard a deep male voice speak to me

"Hello Miss, this is Dr Adrien speaking" My eyes widened at the word doctor

"Hello, what can I do for you?" He sighed

"How can I put this lightly....your friend Mike Schmidt is alive but in very bad condition. Something, presumably a knife was stabbed through his stomach and we are dong the best we can, but I'm not sure if he will live.." I felt like I would cry

"C-can I come and see him?"

"Not at the moment, give it a few days then you can. We are going to preform an operation on him tomorrow, I will call you to let it know how it goes" I nodded my head

"Th-thank you.." I put down the phone and cried again

"Y/n?" I hugged Mari tightly and cried and he pulled me close. We both fell silent, and cried into him still for a while, until we both fell asleep.
