The School Girl Player

I Need You

**Huge smut warning, you have been warned**

When they walked into the bakery Mari was still fuming. Her mom asked what happened and Adrien just said Kim happened.

"Mari, we need to talk, remember." Sabine started.

"Mom please, I'm not in the mood."

"Sabine, let her be. I'll explain it to you."

"Fine." Sabine sounded a little annoyed. She wanted her daughter to tell her how Adrien ended up here on a school night, she didn't mind weekends. She also wanted to know what else Luka did to her.

"Mari, we need to go to the store. No funny business, okay?" Tom said.

"Tom, let them be. They're adults." Sabine replied.

"Mama, Papa. Really? You had to say that." She groaned and rolled her eyes.

"Mari, it's fine. Let's just go upstairs." Adrien just wanted to get her out of that situation.

They went up to her room and Marinette shut the trapdoor with her foot.

"Ugh, I just wish people would mind their own business. I feel like everyone's watching my every move and judging me along the way."

"Mari-"

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT I WAS RAPED UGHH!"

"Mari, I know. There wasn't anything you could have done. It's not your fault." He started walking towards her.

"I was so powerless Adrien." She turned around and headed towards the chaise.

"Shhh we're not talking about him anymore, he is gone."

She sat down on her chaise in desperation and put her head in her hands. She was so tired of everything, she was tired of being scared, tired of being treated like a fragile object, tired of being a burden to everyone around her, especially to Adrien who had done nothing but treat her right.

Adrien walked over to the chaise and sat beside her. He put his hands on her shoulders and started massaging them. He was surprised by the amount of strain that was on them and wanted nothing but to help her carry what seemed like the weight of the world that was on her shoulders. For some reason when he was around her, he always seemed to know what she was thinking and he just hoped the feeling wasn't mutual because then he'd just add to her worry.

She breathed in and then out to help calm herself down. After a few minutes had passed, she spoke up once she had regained her composure.

"You know what Adrien" she looked sideways so she could make direct eye contact with him.

"The past is in the past and the past sucked, but I can't do anything to change it. The only thing I can do now is move on forward and stop looking back. Enough flashbacks, enough pity, I don't want to feel like this anymore. I'll never go back to being the girl I was before Luka or the girl I became because of Luka, but I can start being the girl I'm starting not to hate as much... the girl I am when I'm with you".

She turned herself so her whole body would face him. She gave Tikki a look that meant to leave them be. Tikki knew who Chat was so she phased around until she found Plagg.

"Plagg, let's leave them alone for a bit."

"Good idea, downstairs?"

"Yeah sure, we just need to hide."

"Got it." The two Kwamis phased downstairs into a cabinet, one where they can't hear anything. Tikki really wanted to leave them alone, because she knew about Marinette's history and the look in her eyes only proved her right.
