Everybody Makes Mistakes

Chapter 6• 'Everybody Makes Mistakes'

Third Person POV: (Adrien and Nino's Penthouse Apartment)

"ADRIEN!" Marinette called out.

Before Nino could actually land a hit, Adrien's fast reflexes allowed him to dodge Nino's fist.

Nino stumbled a few steps in front of himself and flipped back around to face his best friend.

"NINO! You need to calm down and let me explain.." Adrien grunted staring at him.

"There's not much to explain, dude! I just walked in on you and Ladybug about to fuck. Where the hell is Mari!?" He huffed, clenching his fist again.

"I'm not going to fight you Nino! Just try and breathe.." Adrien sighed walking towards the door.

"Just come out here and let me explain.."

Nino paused and looked back at Marinette.

She hopped off of the piano and turned red. This was embarrassing. Nino just walked in on her and Adrien making out. Except, she was Ladybug in this scenario..

Nino scoffed and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Once Marinette was alone, she ran into Adrien's bathroom and locked the door.

"Fuck! I gotta text Alya and see if she can help me.." She thought to herself.

Marinette sat in silence, waiting for Alya to text back.

She wanted to escape out of Adrien's bedroom window and head back home but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

She kept waiting.

(Adrien's Living Room)

"Well, Adrien? Why the hell is Ladybug in your bedroom?" Nino huffed, giving Adrien an irritated stare.

Adrien let out a sigh and rubbed his forehead due to a headache.

"Look Nino.. I can't tell you everything right now but just know that Marinette knows she's here.." Adrien responded, thinking that would change Nino's reaction.

"Well.. does Marinette know that YOU WERE SHOVING YOUR TONGUE DOWN LADYBUG'S THROAT AS WELL?" Nino belted starting to get angry again.

"NINO! Stop yelling at me! It seriously wasn't what you think.." Adrien grunted falling back into the couch.

Nino studied his facial expression. He took a deep breath in and sat down on the couch across from Adrien.

"Look Adrien.. you're my best bud and all... but Marinette is like a little sister to me. You can't be out here kissing super heroes and shit while you're with her." He sighed.

Before Adrien could respond, Nino's phone started to ring. It was Alya.

Nino accepted the incoming call.

"hello...?" He mumbled, nervous to hear what Alya was calling about.

"NINO! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE NOW! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!? TRYING TO FIGHT ADRIEN?? I CAN'T BELI-"

Nino groaned and hung his head low.

"But baaabe... ADRIEN WAS KISSI-"

"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT ADRIEN WAS DOING! GET OVER HERE!" Alya roared over the phone.

Nino let out a defeated groan and got up to grab his coat from his room.

Adrien waited for Nino to leave before going back into his bedroom.

(Adrien's Bedroom)

Adrien slowly crept in through his door and scanned the room. Marinette wasn't there, but he noticed that his bathroom light was on. He walked over and knocked on the door.

"Mari.. are you in there?" He asked.

The door slowly opened and Marinette stood in front of him, still transformed as Ladybug.

Adrien smiled softly.

"Nino just left. Alya called him and kind of went off... I'm assuming that was your doing?" He chuckled.

"Well I didn't ask her to do all that... I just told her that I needed help. Poor Nino..." She responded with a tired sigh.

Adrien could tell that she was drained.

"Why don't you detransform and take a warm shower with me. Relieve some stress." Adrien mumbled, pulling her in by her waist.

She giggled and stared up at him.

"You never quit, huh Agreste?" She teased.

Then she let out a soft groan.

"But what about Nino and Alya... he's going to be asking questions all night... AND I'm not even at home. He's gonna find out that I'm Ladybug, I should head back.." Marinette sighed pulling away from him.

Adrien pulled her back to him and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Don't worry about them.. We can deal with this in the morning... for now.. I just need you to relax and spend the night with me." He whispered in her ear.

She let out a soft breath and began to pull out her phone.

"Okay.. you've won me over kitty.."
"Just let me text Alya something real quick to keep my mind at ease." She continued.

"Go ahead. I'm going to grab you a change of clothes and some towels. Be right back." Adrien replied, closing the bathroom door behind him.

Marinette proceeded to text Alya.
