I'm Tired Of It All...

Chapter 1 - Adrien and Nino's talk

It was currently nighttime in Paris, a boy with blonde hair and emerald eyes looked at his phone, checking for texts and calls as he waited for his friend.

The blonde sighed before putting his phone into his pocket and crossing his arms.

"Where the heck is he?" Nino should feel lucky that he didn't have patrol with Ladybug, otherwise he wouldn't be standing here in the park in the middle of the night.

He heard the bushes move, snapping his gaze towards them.

Nino walked out from the bushes, relieved seeing Adrien already there.

"Dude, dude, dude! You're not going to believe what I am about to say!" Nino rushed out, needing to take a breath before speaking again.

Adrien raised an eyebrow, gestering for Nino to continue.

"So let's start with the part I've known for a real long time" Nino paused, "Marinette has a crush on you"

At the word 'crush', Adrien's eyebrows furrowed.

"That can't be true, Marinette's just a friend" Adrien reassured, before Nino began to speak again.

"That's not all dude. Me and Alya have known for a long time, trying to get you and her together, but now it's gone too far" Nino shivered, Adrien was nervous now.

"What do you mean too far? It's just a little crush, how is that so bad?" Adrien questioned.

"Dude, she has pictures of you all over her room!"

"That's normal though. She's a fashion designer, I'm a model, seeing my photoshoots give her inspiration for her next design"

Nino rapidly shook his head, "You don't get it, dude! They're surrounded by hearts! The ones on her walls, the ones on her corkboard, heck even her computer background!"

Adrien was trying to deny it but he couldn't even find the words, no words would leave his throat anyway.

"Alya told me something about her accidentally sending a love confession to your voicemail, though Marinette managed to delete it before you heard it"

Adrien put the pieces together, "So that's why my phone went missing... Marinette went through my locker and stole it to delete some stupid voicemail.."

Adrien's eyes went dark as he turned to Nino, "Tell me more"

Nino goes into thinking mode before snapping his fingers, "Apparently she has a whole chest full of future gifts for your next years birthdays and knows everything you do for the week cause she has a whole schedule of what you do 24/7..those are only a few, man"

Adrien was flabbergasted.

Marinette is exactly like the rest.

She's obsessed, she's a stalker, and shes downright...

Insane.

Adrien stared at the ground now processing this information.

Nino placed a hand on his shoulder, causing him to flinch.

"I know dude, your in shock"

Adrien finally found his voice, "H-How long has she had a crush on me?"

Nino calculated for a second, "Do you remember doing anything to make her fall head over heels in love with you?"

Adrien began to go through his mind, trying to find what started Marinette's crush on him.

His eyes widened, "The day I gave her my umbrella..."

Nino nodded.

"That's why she never returned it...she had to keep a possession of mine"

Nino sighed.

"Go home and rest, dude. We'll talk at school tomorrow" Nino said as he turned around, walking away.

Adrien turned around and ran into an alleyway, his breathing heavy and not in control.

"A-All this time... Marinette has been obsessed with me..."

Plagg flew out of the boys white jacket, hovering in front of the Blonde's face.

"Calm down, kid!" Plagg tried to help, but Tikki always said he wasn't good with comfort.

Once Adrien finally got his breathing under control, he whispered two words, "Claws out"

He extended his baton and launched into the night sky, landing on one of the building's with a soft thud.

He ran across the top of the home roofs, trying to get home and sleep to find himself waking up from this horrible nightmare.

Once he came in contact with his home, he basically risked it and jumped, flipping into his room from his open window.

Once he landed on his floor, his knees gave out underneath him.

"Claws in.." he whispered, the kwami flying out of his owner's ring.

Plagg hesitated before speaking, "Kid, I know I'm not the best with words or comfort, but...I just want you to know that..." Plagg paused, "I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to"

Adrien let a small smile grace his face at that.

"Thanks Plagg"

Plagg nodded before grabbing a sock, getting inside it and snuggled into the warmth.

Adrien stood up and tiredly walked towards his bed, slipping under the covers, careful not to disturb his little buddy.

Adrien closed his eyes and prayed that all of this was a terrible dream and it would all be okay by morning.

After that, sleep took him.
