I Need You! { Red String Story }

~ Chapter Two ~

Marinette and Alya started to walk to their seats, behind Nino and I. Marinette walked past me, I smiled at her. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and lightly blushed.
I noticed that Marinette zoned out. The only reason I noticed is because, Ms. Bustier yelled at the bluenette behind me.

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" I heard Ms. Bustier yell at Marinette . She yelped and stared into the teachers eyes.
"Please pay attention..." Ms. Bustier said, returning, to her lesson.

~ After School ~

"A-Adrien!" Marinette stuttered, fiddling with her fingers.
"Yes Marinette?" I asked, looking into her eyes.
"C-Can I-I t-talk to you in p-private, please?" She asked, barely finishing her sentence.
"Sure..." I said, following Marinette into a secluded area. When we got there, she looked around to make sure no one was close by. Once she made sure, she looked over at me.

"I-I w-wanted t-to tell you s-something..." Marinette started, looking up into my emerald eyes.
"Y-You are the s-sweetest, kindest, generous, and the most g-gorgeous guy I-I know. And ever since y-you g-gave me that b-black umbrella, m-my f-feelings t-towards y-you have c-changed. And I g-guess what I'm t-trying to say is... I-I L-Love Y-You!" She finished, looking down at her feet.
There was silence for a minute, before I said,
"Marinette..." I said, she looked up to see his face.
"I-I'm sorry I like someone else." I said, not making eye contact with her.
"O-Oh..." she said, her eyes threatening to release tears.
"Are you ok?" I asked, moving my hand to place on her shoulder.
"Y-Yeah, I'm ok..." she said, moving away from my hand.
She's not ok...
"I-I have to go." She choked out, before running away.

I called out her name.
But she didn't listen.
I saw the whole class looking at her, from the front of the school.
She didn't care.
All she did was run...
She ran... because of me.
It's my fault she's crying.
It's my fault she's heart broken.
And it's going to be my fault if she becomes an akumatized victim.

~ At Home ~

"Ugh!" I groaned, flopping into my bed.
"What is it now, kid?" Plagg asked, flying in front of my face.
"Marinette... I feel bad now." I answered, putting my face into my giant fluffy pillows.
"Well kid, don't be. Your confessing tonight, remember?" Plagg told me, flying on top of my head.
"What!" I yelled, pushing myself up with my arms.
"Ah~" Plagg whined, scared at my sudden movement. "Don't tell me you forgot?"
"I did..." I confessed, sitting upright and rubbing the back of my neck.
"Well, get your speech prepared." Plagg said, laying on my hands.
"Ok, by the way, here's some camembert for tonight." I said, handing Plagg some of his desired cheese.
"Thank you, kid!" Plagg thanked me, grabbing the cheese and gobbling up the cheese. He finished eating his cheese in a couple of seconds. "Ok, time to transform."
"Ok." I said, getting up and preparing myself.
"Plagg, Claws Out!" I yelled, not loud enough to be heard though. Plagg flew into my ring. I felt the leather suit form around me. The ears on my head, and the tail around my waist.
"Ok, time to go." I said, climbing out my window.

~ At the Eiffel Tower ~

"Hello M'lady!" I said, landing gracefully on the edge.
"Hey Chat..." Ladybug said, rubbing her eyes. She pulled her arm away, in pain. I saw that her eyes where red and puffy. And rubbing at them didn't help.
"Are you ok, LB?" I asked, standing closer to her.
"Yes, I'm fine." She said, looking at the Paris lights.
"Ok, let's get patrol started, I need to tell you something after." I told her, putting my arm on her shoulder. "Remember, you can tell me anything. I'm your partner in crime after all."
I said, putting my finger in front of her face.
"Ok, Kitty." She laughed, coughing a bit after.
I smiled and leaped to the south side of the love city.

Once we finished patrol, it was the time I've been waiting for.

"Bugaboo..." I said, to the red and black Parisian heroine.
"Yes, Kitty?" She asked, walking in front of me.

I took a deep breathe and started my prepared speech.

"We have been partners for a long time now... and I know I get annoying some the times -" I said, before she interrupted.
"Tell me about it." She said, putting her hands on her hips.
"Hey!" I yelped.
"Carry on." She said with a chuckle, motioning her hand in a circle.
"I wanted to say that you are purr~fect and a-meow-zing. A-And that I Love Mew." I said, winking at her. She just stood there. Not moving, not blinking, and I don't think breathing.
"M'Lady..." I said, waving my hand in front of my face. She jumped, as she came back to reality.
"I-I'm sorry, Chat..." She said, before jumping away with her yo-yo.

I just stood there. Dumbfounded.
Rejected... again.
I looked down. Before grabbing my baton and heading to my house.
I made it to my house just in time,
Once I got in I de-transformed and Plagg ate his camembert, I laid down on my bed.

"What was I expecting?" I muttered to myself.
"Of course she rejected me."
I fair my arm across my face.
"Plagg, what should I do?" I asked the eating kwami.
"I don't know? Go to your friends." Plagg said, munching on his camembert.
"Who? Marinette." I asked again, laying on my stomach and stared at the kwami.
"Yeah, I guess. Isn't she your princess?" He said, swallowing the last piece of cheese.
"I-I guess so... I'll visit her tomorrow." I said, before getting up and going into my bathroom.
I changed into some Ladybug pajamas.
Yes, I have Ladybug pajamas.
And I went to bed.
