My Girl: A Miraculous Story

Chapter 17

Marinette's POV:

I know Adrien has bulimia and I know what that means but seeing him leaning over the toilet like that made it all too real.

I wanted to cry right there and then, but he needed me more than I needed him in that moment.

We're waiting for the pizza now. I'm laying on his hot chest. His breathing is strange. Like he's scared.

I rub my fingers in his hair and it calms him down a bit.

The doorbell rings.

He flinches.

"I'll go get it, be right back."

"No!"

I turn around quickly.

"I just wanna be with you, I don't wanna be alone."

Neither do I.

We walk downstairs together, get the pizza, pay, get some drinks from the fridge, and go back upstairs.

"Do you wanna watch a movie while we eat?"

Watching a movie helped him eat last time.

"No.."

I put the pizza box down on his bed and he sets the drinks on his night stand.

"Okay, that's fine. Do you want to-"

"Let's just eat."

He turned a bit red.

I kissed him on the cheek then we started eating.

He ate two slices of pizza and I ate three. I even tried one without picking off the pineapple and it was actually pretty good.

We laughed and talked while we ate.

A few hours went by.

We cuddled, played video games, he showed me some pictures of his mom and cried some more.

I don't like it when he cries obviously, but I like that he feels comfortable with me.

At one point he showed me this painting he made that looked very familiar, but it kinda looked like chicken scratch so I couldn't remember exactly where it was from.

He's still playing video games, but I'm exploring his room because it's fucking huge. I look at his books and CDs until I get bored then I go back to his desk where he's sitting and stand behind his chair, rubbing his back and shoulders.

"Does my princess need attention?"

She does.

"Maybe..."

He brings me infront of him and sits me down on his lap so I'm straddling him. I lean my head on his shoulders and hide my face in the crook of his neck, placing my hands on the back of his neck.

"Adriennnn"

"What princess?"

Why am I being so needy?

He's still playing video games while I'm wrapped around his chest.

I turn around to watch but he hugs me tightly so I can't move.

"I'm not leaving, I just wanna watch."

"Oh- my bad."

I turn, but I'm still close to him. Just how I like to be.

Something catches my eye.

"Are these-"

I reach up and grab a small pile of photos.
