Promise Me Chaton ~ Miraculous Fanfic

seven.

Marinette woke up that morning at 8:30. Her alarm had been going off for 10 minutes until her mom woke her up.

"Marinette, you're going to be late for school!" Sabine yelled. She was back to "normal" now. She went downstairs and took an apple for breakfast, not checking her desk. The bag labelled "Chat Noir" still lay there.

Marinette ran out of her house as the school bell rang. She ran into Ms. Bustier class and everyone looked at her.

"Hey sorry.." she said. When she looked at her usual seat she saw Alya there too. She sat down and Alya asked "another late night girl?"

"Uh yeah, how did you know?" Marinette questioned. With this Alya went silent. "How would we not know?" she thought.

Marinette was looking around the class waiting for it to be finished when she saw the blonde boy in front of her staring at her. Adrien couldn't help it. He was still trying to process the events of the night before. The girl he liked had been in his class this whole time. But Adrien had to keep his promise. He had to.

"You have to promise. Promise to stop by, promise to help me come back, promise to not give up like I did. Promise me Chaton."

Three sentences did so much to him, constantly replaying in his head. He knew he could keep the first two but the last was bugging him. What if he did give up? No one would have the memories of him and Ladybug anymore but more importantly he would've broken the promise of someone who wasn't there anymore.

In other words, being the guardian wasn't too bad for him. Yes, it obviously took more work and took up more of his time but he still had time to do everything else. He didn't notice he zoned out until the door opened and Mr. Damocles was there with a student.

"Sorry for the interruption but Lila is now back from her trip!" Mr. Damocles exclaimed.

Everyone welcomed her back but Adrien didn't. She took away his one true love and he would never forgive her for it.

"No 'welcome back' Adrienn?" She asked. He wasn't going to respond. He couldn't. He couldn't even look her in the eyes. She was a liar and a monster.

"Go fuck yourself." Adrien said a little too loudly. Did he regret saying it? Yes. Did he mean it? More than anyone knew. The whole class gasped and he looked back to see Marinette gasping as well. "Great." He thought.

"Adrien please go to the office right this moment!" Ms. Bustier said. She was ashamed that he would say that but Adrien got up and went to the office.

Marinette was ashamed that the boy she liked would be rude to the new girl. "Poor Lila.." she thought. She looked back to see Lila sitting by herself at the back of the class. Marinette wanted to stand up and sit next to her but the bell rang for lunch.

"Marinette do you want to eat out for lunch today?" Alya said as they were walking out of class.

"Uh okay sure! Can we bring Lila too?" Marinette asked. Alya had a confused look on her face then bursted out laughing.

"Good one girl. You are super convincing. Anyways, we can go get burgers! This new place opened up and Nino and I went yesterday. It was delicious." Alya voiced. Now Marinette was confused. Why was everyone so mean to Lila for absolutely no reason?

"Alya I wasn't joking though. You should know how it feels to be the new girl. And Adrien made a total fool of her today! She must be so embarrassed and I just feel bad." Marinette said.

"What was up with her today?" Alya asked herself. "Girl what is going on? She's not new first of all and you never liked her. Don't you remember the time she pushed you down the stairs? Threatened you in the bathroom and the front of the school? She turned everyone against you, but not me of course. Don't get me wrong I'll always be on your side but I can't with that girl."

"Alya why are you making stuff up? That never happened or at least I don't remember her doing that. How horrible could she be though?" Marinette asked as she scanned the school for Lila. when she spotted her she saw her tugging at Meylene's pins on her shirt. She then proceeded to whisper into her ear which made Meylene run away.

"She's terrible Marinette. Can we just get out of her please?" Marinette nodded and they headed out of the school to the burger place.

When they were walking Alya asked Marinette what happened the night before.

"You weren't answering any of my texts Marinette! I got really worried. So what happened?"

Marinette wanted to give her an answer but in all honesty she had no clue. She only had the word of Chat Noir but she thought he was lying.

"I dunno, Chat Noir found me 50 minutes away from the bakery though. He said I fainted on the road? Is it normal to forget stuff after you faint? Then he took me back to my room and that's pretty much it. Oh and I lost my phone somewhere. That's probably why I wasn't answering your texts." Marinette said.

"Oh well I hope you're okay now. And I'm not sure to be honest. We could search it up I guess." Alya replied.

Their order numbers were called and they ate their food and walked back to the school and made it just in time.

"What do we have now?" Marinette asked.

"Art! Well I hope." Alya replied.

- end of school bell rings-

"Marinette can I come over to work on the homework with you?" Alya asked.

"Uhhh yeah sure!" Marinette said as they walked to the bakery.

"Hi Alya!" Tom and Sabine said excitedly. "Marinette look what we found! Your old phone!"

"Thank you guys so much!" Marinette took the phone, gave her parents a hug, and ran upstairs with Alya.

"Girl finally." Alya said. Marinette chuckled and tried turning her phone on. It was dead so they ran to her room to go and get it charged. When the opened the trap door, Alya looked around and saw it. The brown bag labelled "Chat Noir."

"Marinette.. what is that?" Marinette looked at where Alya was looking and she saw it too. But she had no idea where it came from. Was it from Chat Noir or to Chat Noir?

"Alya I have no clue." Marinette responded.

"Don't you have his number somewhere?" Both their eyes shot at the phone that just turned on.

"Yeah.. I could check." Marinette grabbed her phone but then it hit her. What was her password?

"Well what are you waiting for? Unlock it!" Alya exclaimed. She had always been one for mysteries and this was one in real life with her best friend.

"I- I don't really remember it to be honest." Marinette replied. Alya had a smirk on her face.

"Okay don't be mad but I kinda looked once. I remember it." Alya blurted out. Marinette wasn't really mad because now they could get answers. Her phone got unlocked and she went through her contacts looking for the "C."

Camila

Carson Smith

Chaton <3

Chloe Bourgeois

"Is that him?" Alya asked as she pointed to the name labeled "Chaton <3."

"Maybe. I dunno we will see." Marinette replied. She opened the contact info and saw the same black cat in the profile picture as yesterday.

And so the phone rang and Chat Noir was coming their way.
