Kissing you to sleep[Changed Title]

Episode 9

Marinette;

"Oh um, give me a moment, I'm almost done." I said 

"Sure..."  he said mournfully. 

I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my body. 

When I got out, Adrien wasn't there, so I went and checked the hall. 

He was sitting there on the couch, texting someone. 

"Um, Adrien?" I called out.

He turned around and looked at my body that was wrapped in the towel, then his gaze went over to my legs which were still wet. I saw him lick his bottom lip, then he looked back at me.

"Hmm?" He hummed in a questioning manner. 

"A-aren't you going to college?" I asked, stuttering over my words. 

"No, not today, I have a photo shoot in an hour, so I'll go home and freshen up before I do that. Besides, It's already way past 8." 

"Oh, I was hoping if you could get me two big boxes. There are still a lot of things to pack before I shift to your apartment tomorrow."

"Hmm sure, I'll get 'em." 

I took a sigh of relief, but the things that we did today flooded back into my mind again. 

I could feel my face heating up again, I tried to shake those thoughts off me but I just couldn't shake them off. 

"So... I guess I'll be heading home then."

 He said, looking down at his hands and with a sad smile.

"Is something the matter... Adrien?" I asked, bending a little to check on his face. 

"L-listen, it's totally fine if you don't have feelings for me anymore. I totally respect that decision and umm... I hope whatever happened today didn't affect our relationship as... best friends." 

he said, looking away and rubbing the nape of his neck. 

"I-I'm sorry for doing that to you." he apologised.

I hesitated to say something, I wanted to say something but words were stopping themselves to come out of my damn mouth.

"But I'm pretty sure I'll move on, and we'll still be best friends like we are, right? if that's what you call it..." he said the last few words as if he was hurt, and I knew he was. 

"A-are you sure you'd move on if I stayed at your place? I-I mean, that would get harder on you, right?" I asked

"I'll be fine, Mari. Besides, it's your decision if you don't want to move in... I'll stick to myself then..."

My heart ached, I know I caught feelings all over again overnight but I didn't want to do this, even a part of me was crying and begging for him. 

"I'll be going now I guess, and you should probably dry yourself and wear clothes, or else you'll catch a cold." he said getting up from the couch. 

With that, he passed by me and left through the door. 

My knees felt weak, I grabbed the wall and dragged myself down, shedding tears as I went down. 

I cried, cried myself out once again. 

I wanted him, so fucking bad that it hurt... 

For the past two years, I've done nothing but love him more each moment.
