Maybe I shouldn't have followed Adrien home. If I didn't, he wouldn't have ignored me for so long. I miss him so much. But I was worried about him, after what those girls tried to pull, I was afraid it might happen again if he went home alone.
But I was wrong and he was perfectly fine. I obviously overreacted and got him to think I didn't trust him to take care of himself. Of course I trust him.
I was just scared... If something did happen, and I wasn't there, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for Adrien getting hurt. I would be a terrible boyfriend if I had let that happen.
I'm not going to be a terrible boyfriend. Never again.
*_*-~
For once I wasn't following Adrien home because he's still avoiding and ignoring me. I wish I could make up for what I did. I need him to know I trust him, I know he can take care of himself.
I followed him home because I love him. I worry about him, I care about him, I get scared whenever he's alone because I'm afraid something bad will happen to him.
"Hey! Stay away from me!"
"Awe~ don't worry sweetheart we'll make you feel good~"
Huh? What's going on?
"I'd rather not!"
That sounded like...
Adrien!
I ran, probably faster than normal. When I turned the corner the color drained from my face. Adrien was against the wall, and two guys were.... Touching him!
I felt my blood boil. Adrien tried to fight back, but they held him down. I saw him trembling. I clenching my fists and gritted my teeth.
As soon as I saw their hands go under Adrien's shirt, I snapped and sprang into action.
I kicked the one guy where the sun don't shine and punched the other guy's face in.
"Who gave you the fucking right to touch my boyfriend like that?!" I demanded. I knew my face was red with anger. "L-luka..?" In the corner of my eye, I could see Adrien. He looked so scared and fragile.
I turned back and faced the two guys. Making my anger very visible. My fists were so tight I could feel my nails digging into my hands. This is exactly why I keep them short.
I gave them one last threatening look before they fled. The moment I turned around again, Adrien jumped forward and hugged my waist.
"I'm so sorry Lu! I should have never ignored you for so long, I love you so much!" Adrien broke down in my arms and I held him close and tight. "It's okay... I'm here.." I kissed his hair and he cried into my shirt.
Those bastards will pay for what they did to him.
I lifted his chin so I could see his face. "Are you alright?" Some people look beautiful when they cry, and Adrien is one of them. But I hate seeing him cry. Because he's upset. "I-I'm f-fine.." He hiccuped.
I frowned. The state he's in, he's not fine. He was shaking so much I doubt he could even walk.
I slightly leaned down. "Here, get on my back. I'll carry you," He hesitated at first, but got on my back. His arms wrapped around my neck and I held onto his legs.
*_*-~
It felt like we were walking for ages, but we finally made it. The bakery. Adrien needed to see Marinette. Her place is the safest he can be right now. Plus it was the closest.
Her parents were shocked when they saw us. "Luka dear, what happened to him?" Sabine came to check on Adrien. "Poor dear was so exhausted he fell asleep." Tom came to comfort his wife. "Is Mari home?" I asked.
Sabine nodded. "She's in her room. Go on up love, you're always welcome." I smiled and thanked her. I went up to Marinette's room.
"Oh my gosh! What happened to Adrien?!" She helped me into her room and took a good look at him. "Two guys were..." I shut my eyes. I couldn't finish that sentence.
She put her hand on my face. "Don't worry, I know what you mean. Put him on my bed. I'll get us something to eat." She left the room and I took Adrien from my back and carried him bridal style up to Marinette's bed.
I laid him down. He looked so peaceful sleeping. I put my finger on his face and moved it around. Even when sleeping he's so beautiful and cute and just adorable.
"Who wants croissants?!" Marinette asked cheerfully. Adrien jolted awake. "Croissants?!" His mood changed. He's back to his happy self.
He climbed down the stairs and went right to Marinette and got some croissants. When he turned around his face was stuffed and he had two croissants in his hands.
I laughed. He was so cute. If I wasn't already in love with him I would fall for him right here and now. I watched him lovingly eat the croissants.
But then he was disturbed when the door was kicked open and my very pissed off sister barged in. "Who are the bastards that hurt my beautiful brother-in-law?!" Chloe came in after her and attempted to calm her down.
Obviously that didn't work. Rose was next and she noticed that Juleka was mad. A cheek kiss that came from Rose calmed her down.
Alya came after. Now the room was full of girls. At least until Nino and Miles came into the room. I climbed down and met up with Juleka. "I made sure they didn't do anything.." I whispered to her.
"Was he okay?" She whispered back. "Completely shaken up, but overall he was fine. I brought him here and Marinette's croissants got him back to normal." I pointed to Adrien still stuffing his face.
"All it takes is some delicious pastries and he's all good." She commented. "I want another rematch," Adrien spoke out of nowhere. He had just swallowed his croissants. "I need my revenge for how many times you beat me yesterday. You, me, Mario Kart, right here, right now," He challenged.
Marinette smiled. "You just don't give up, do you? Ready to get beated for the twenty-fifth time?" She smirked. I looked back and forth from Adrien to Marinette.
"Don't say how many times you beat me! I don't need a reminder." Adrien complained. He pouted. I smiled and slowly walked over to him.
He was still pouting, so I turned his chin towards me and gently kissed his pout away. At least, that's what I intended to do. When I pulled away his pout was replaced by a small smile.
"If you kiss my pouts away I should pout more often," I blinked repeatedly. "You don't need to pout for me to kiss you," I told him and he frowned.
Juleka tapped my shoulder, "I think he was trying to flirt with you," She informed me. Oh. I could hear Marinette trying to hold in her laughter.
"This is why I don't flirt." Adrien mumbled. "You don't have to flirt with me, but I can still flirt with you," His face turned red. That was me flirting with him. And it was a success.
"You're dating, you're flirting, when are you going to have-" Adrien immediately put a hand over Marinette's mouth. "Stop saying that so easily! I want to be able to walk thank you very much," I tilted my head in confusion.
"What do you mean?" It was like his entire body went red as a tomato. "N-nothing!" He snatched Marinette's hand and dragged her to the computer.
I was still confused. I could feel Juleka's smirk burning into the back of my neck. "I think Marinette was implying you two hurry up and have sex. And I think Adrien was saying he's very much a bottom and that you'd do him so hard he wouldn't be able to walk."
I felt like a volcano. "Jules what the heck?! What is wrong with you?!" She shrugged. "What? You still being a Virgin at the age of sixteen is seriously and honestly sad and embarrassing." If she wasn't my sister I would strangle her right now.
"You're also sixteen and a Virgin so don't attack me with that bull crap." She blushed. "Rose isn't ready... And neither am I..." I raised my brow.
"Well don't you think Adrien and I aren't ready either?" She put on her thinking face. "Yeah, guess you're right." Juleka patted my shoulder. "You can still be glad you're the top," She winked and headed off the sit with Rose.
I'm the top... Adrien the bottom.... Him not being able to walk... I don't know if I can handle that...
"Hey! Snap out of it!" Two fingers snapped in front of my face. It was Chloe. I was actually relieved because it wasn't Juleka.
"What are you thinking about?" She questioned. I turned pink to my ears. "Adrien..." I whispered. "He's right there," Chloe started, she pointed at him, "Doing whatever it takes to beat Mari at Mario Kart." She finished.
"He looks so hot when he's determined to win," I signed dreamingly. "Dude, he's already your boyfriend, no need to prepare for a confession." I turned to look at Chloe.
"Girl don't tell me you don't talk about Miles like that even when he's already your boyfriend," She smiled. "Touché man, touché." She shrugged.
"You should see Miles when he runs a marathon," She signed. "He always takes his shirt off when he gets sweaty." Her hands were together and she looked up into the distance.
"I wish I could see Adrien with his shirt off," I whispered. "You will, but it will be more than his shirt," She smirked. I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
She's right, and it's embarrassing. "I'm so glad we have eachother to talk to about our boyfriends," She gushed. "We also have Alya, and didn't Marinette mention something about a guy named Mason... So soon it will be the four of us." She added.
"What about Adrien? He has a boyfriend." I said. "Lu, you're his boyfriend, it doesn't work like that. You can't talk about your boyfriend while he's in the same room." Why is she always right?!
"What about Jules..?" She doesn't have a boyfriend.... Chloe smiled. "She has Miles, Nino, and soon to be Mason. That group is girlfriend talk." I love how Chloe thinks of everything.
She's such a thoughtful friend. She gave me a big smile. That smile looks so familiar.
I imagined Chloe's hair in a ponytail with a black stripe. "Holy shit." Chloe's Queen Bee?! "We need to talk. Now." I took her hand and went straight to Marinette's bathroom.
"Okay, I'm going to ask you something, and obviously you'll deny it but trust me on this. Are you Queen Bee?" Her mouth dropped open. "W-what?! N-no! What g-gave you that i-idea?" I sighed.
If I'm wrong about this, and I tell Chloe I'm Viperion... I'm not regretting it because I trust her. "Come on out... Sass." He did come out.
"Greetings, Pollen." He said and she came out. "Sass! It's been too long!" She flew over and hugged him. "You're Viperion?" She asked, in a whisper this time. "Yes." I said. "And you're Queen Bee," I added. "Yep." She said, popping the 'P.'
"Does Ladybug know?" Chloe shook her head. "Only you," I eyed her suspiciously. "Am I the only one that knows?" She seemed to become nervous when I asked. "Uh, no... Just me..." I signed.
"Does Miles know?" She gave up. "Yeah... But I wanted to tell him! I needed to tell him, haven't you wanted to tell Adrien?" She got me there. "More than anything. I've wanted to tell him so badly it's killing me, but I can't... And with Hawk Moth being his Father, it's twice as dangerous as it was before." I confessed.
She nodded. "I almost forgot about that part... But don't worry, we will kick his butt. And when we do, you can finally tell Adrien you're Viperion." Chloe encouraged me. And it worked. Because she's right. As soon as Hawk Moth is gone I'll tell him.
*_*-~
"Man, Mr. Agreste just won't give up. We'll all be fully grown adults before he ever gives up." Carapace's comment was full of sass. He's not wrong, I'll give him that.
"I'm getting sick and tired of Mr. Agreste, I say we fight him directly!" We all turned towards Rena Rouge. "Still can't do that, think of how it will effect Adrien!" Ladybug argued.
I could see Chat Noir frowning at the ground. He looked... Angry, well more pissed but technically they're the same thing.
"Then we can just tell Adrien," Rena continued. "No!" Both Ladybug and Purple Tigress said in unison.
Is there something Juleka isn't telling me? Does she know something I don't? "Fine. But we have to do it eventually." I don't understand why Rena is so eager to take Gabriel Agreste down directly.
Maybe having him deafated will allow her to do something... Like tell her loved ones that she's Rena Rouge. With Hawk Moth still in action she can't do that.
I understand how she feels. Telling Adrien that I'm Viperion would fill the hole in my heart.
In a true relationship there should be no lies, if the two people in the relationship truly love eachother, they tell eachother everything without a single lie. Always the truth.
I love Adrien with all my heart and all I want is to be completely honest with him. I don't want to keep lying to him. I can't keep a secret this big from the person I love so much.
"I'm done with going easy, no more Miss nice girl." It freaked me out when Queen Bee cracked her knuckles and jumped into the fight.
Chloe can be really scary sometimes. Especially when she's like this. I should have guessed she was Queen Bee.
"Haha! Victory is ours once again!" Queen Bee declared. She immediately ran over to me afterwards. "I need to talk to you, come to my room at six," She whispered. I nodded.
"See you guys later, bye!" She jumped away. "Bug out," Ladybug swung away. Carapace and Rena Rouge took their leave too. Chat Noir started to walk away too, and for some reason, Purple Tigress followed him.
I was going to follow too, but Juleka gave me a threatening look that told me not to follow her. Obviously I stayed back because she's a lot scarier when she's mad.
I could see them having a conversation, just not what they were saying. I decided to just let them be. So I went home.
*_*-~
"Where are you going this late?" I couldn't exactly tell Juleka Queen Bee told me to go to her Hotel room tonight. "I switched patrol with Ladybug, she's busy tonight so she asked me to do it for her." That was a complete lie.
Hopefully she bought it. I'm worried she didn't because of the whole twin telepathy thing.
"Be back by ten, you know Mom always checks if we're sleeping at that time," I nodded. "I'll be back soon," I gave her a quick cheek kiss goodbye.
"SASS, SCALES SLITHER!"
"Be careful!" She called after me when I jumped through the window. "I will!" I called back and she waved.
*_*-~
"Scales Rest." Chloe opened her balcony door. "Hey," She greeted and let me in. She sat on her bed and patted the spot beside her.
"So what did you want me to talk about?" I asked and she smiled. But there was something about that smile that spelt trouble. "Now that I know you're Viperion, I've thought about this... Remember the night you confessed to Chat Noir and he made you really upset because he was apparently in love with Viperion?" Yep. Knew it.
"Well, I just figured out you were obviously acting so he wouldn't figure out you're Viperion by being jealous of yourself," I clapped my hands together and took a deep breath.
"You don't need to remind me of that. It happened a really long time ago," I reminded her. She nodded. "Yeah, it did. Like six months ago? I think. I didn't keep track. But anyways.. After I found out you were Viperion. I kept thinking about how good of an actor you were. You even had me fooled. You should totally become a professional actor," This is the least surprised I've ever been in my entire life. I knew she would bring me here for something like this.
Sure I was acting, but I didn't think Chloe would take it this far as to say I should become a professional actor. She's not wrong, my acting skills are flawless, but being an actor is serious business.
"I do have Drama for my last class..." She gasped. "Same! We must be in the same class! Does Juleka have it too?" I thought about it, I think she mentioned something about Drama. "Yeah, I think so." I answered.
Chloe cheered. "We might all be in the same Drama class!" I smiled. The first class where I'll be with all of my friends.
I took a look at the time. It was almost nine. How the hell was I here for three hours?! If felt like ten minutes. "I have to go. My Mom checks if we're sleeping at ten. And I promised Jules I'd be back by then." Chloe nodded.
"See you tomorrow!" I waved goodbye and transformed.
*_*-~
I returned just in time when my Mom came in the room. I shut my eyes tight when she felt my bed for me. I was there, thankfully. I heard her walk over to Juleka's bed. She didn't freak out so that means Juleka is there.
The door shut and I could finally breathe.
I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be something.
~-*_*
Oh my goodness! I'm so close to chapter 40! The next chapter is chapter 40! I'm so excited! Mostly. Only because I'll be writing it. Not what I'm going to write. But I must keep my mouth shut so I don't spoil. Bye!
