Where did you go?

21~ I lost

(Adrien's POV)

Marinette comes back to our room about 20 minutes before we're about to be downstairs. She enters but says nothing as she hurriedly grabs and packs up all of her stuff. It doesn't seem like she's trying to do it to hurry up to get downstairs but to hurry up to get away from me. It hurts, definitely, but I know I deserve it. Either way, I try to talk to her.

"Do you need help?", I suggest. 

"No", she says with a sharp tone. 

I sigh. 

Well, Adrien, I don't know why you're upset. It's not like she's going to be excited to see you, get over it already.

"Marinette, can we please talk?"

"About what?"

"What do you mean 'about what?'. About what happened. I need to talk to you."

"You're talking to me right now."

I take a second to stop. We're back to where we started when I came back. It's never bothered me so much. 

"You know what I mean-", I say before getting interrupted.

"If you can't already tell yet, I don't really want to talk to you, or anyone right now for that matter except Luka. Do you see him in here? No, right? So no, I'll talk to you after", she says harshly.

After she says this last sentence, she finishes grabbing the rest of her stuff and leaves quickly. The door slams shut and she leaves me in the silent room. Plagg flies out of my bag.  

"Well, at least you tried, right?", he says, trying to cheer me up.

"I guess. She hates me now. I think this is karma for everything I did. It's better to just leave her alone for now. I don't want to make anything harder on her."

"You think avoiding her will make everything better?"

"Obviously not, I'm just trying to give her the space she's asking for. As she said, she's only trying to talk to Luka, which means that they'll most probably get back together again. I'm the dumbass anyways. I tried to kiss her while I knew she had a boyfriend. I acted out of impulse and look where that got me."

Plagg frowns and looks at me with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry Adrien. Everyone makes mistakes. It just matters on how you fix them", he says.

"Exactly."

(Marinette's POV)

I felt bad being so mean to Adrien, but it had to be done. I have to keep my guard up for now. I don't know when I'll have the chance to talk things out with Luka, but right after that, I promised myself I would confess my feelings to Adrien. 

After grabbing my things from my room, I meet Alya at the elevator and we head down to where our class is gathered up at. Everyone looks exhausted and tired. I guess everyone is ready to go home. Nino joins us and greets everyone. 

"Hey, dudettes, what's up? Is Adrien here yet?" he asks.

Alya and I give each other a look. I'm guessing she hasn't told him yet. It's not that big of a surprise, though. She hasn't had time to.

"I'll explain everything to you when we're on the plane later", she says.

He reads our expressions and nods quickly, getting the point.

The time slowly runs out and the rest of my friends and classmates get to the lobby, including Adrien. I completely forgot out the wounds on his face. How is he going to hide that from Miss Bustier? What is she going to say?

She doesn't notice. Thank god. The time goes by extremely quickly and before I know it, we're on the plane. For this plane ride, we got to choose our seats. I ended up sitting next to Alya and Nino. 

I get up and excuse myself. 

"Hey, where are you going?", Alya asks.

"Oh, to the bathroom. I'll be right back", I reply.

They both nod and I walk down the aisle of the plane to the back where the bathroom is. 

It's occupied. Crap. 

The person is taking their time, too. I want to go to the other bathroom, but it's on the other side of the plane and I'm too lazy to walk all the way over there. I'll just wait.

Finally, I hear the door unlock and it swings open.

I look up from my feet to see Luka.

He's on the plane.

I'll be honest, he looks horrible.

His hair is messed up and his eyes look red and swollen. Accompanied by large eye bags. What happened was just last night and he looks like he hasn't gotten sleep for 5 weeks. I feel my heart physically break when I see him like this.

I caused this. 

He looks at me for a couple of seconds with no reaction on his face before walking away. I quickly reach out for his arm to try and stop him. Thank god there are no people back here. It's just the bathroom and the flight attendant's area. 

"Luka, wait, please-"

He takes a deep breath before closing his eyes and turning back to me. 

"What?"

"Can we please talk? Please."

We probably look very similar at the moment. In Alya's room, I just fixed my hair, that's all. My eye bags are huge and my skin looks pale, almost like I'm sick. 

"About what? You kissing Adrien? You don't need to remind me, I saw it with my own eyes", he says quietly. 

"No! We didn't kiss Luka. You know me. I wouldn't do that to you!"

"I thought I knew you. You know, on the plane ride here, I was thinking of so many ways that I could surprise you. I almost involved your friends in it too. But when I enter your room, he's leaning in like he's your boyfriend, not me."

"Luka, you're not letting me explain, please."

"Marinette, right now I don't feel like talking to you, or doing anything with you, in that case", he says while pulling his arm away. "Please, leave me alone."
