Soulmates, a Daminette Fanfiction (Damian X Marinette)

Chapter 1 - You're Alive (Marinette POV)

AN: Sorry this took so long. It's a really long chapter. I hope your pretty little face likes it! I'm going to try and write the next as soon as possible. Also, just a warning, the characters in this story are lgbtq, so if you don't like that, don't read. 

Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, only the plot.

Marinette is 15, almost 16 this friday. A lot had happened since she lost her soulmate. Some good things, some bad things. Mostly bad things. But She preferred to look on the happier side. The sad side didn't deserve her attention.

Not long after losing her soulmate, something life changing had happened to her, and all of Paris, turning their life upside down for the past three years. Marinette had received the miraculous, one of the most powerful ones, and was tasked to fight against Hawkmoth. But you know what happens after that, don't you?

Once she had adjusted to this new life, developed strong friendships, and started working on her career as a designer, A hurricane came in and tore her life apart.

This hurricane was our own lying little sausage-head, Lila Rossi.

Lila had come into the class with huge lavish lies, and little evidence. Calling her out had only resulted in her being isolated by the rest of the class, since the mindless sheep only had eyes for the new, bright and shiny toy. Almost the whole class was against her, with the exception of some smart individuals with common sense that had become not so common since then.

These individuals, Chloe, Alix and Nathaniel, had enough sense to suspect LIla from the start.

Chloe was the daughter of the mayor, she had all these people on speed dial. She let the liar have her 5 minutes of fame. But when she lost Sabrina to the clutches of the wild sausage, the lonely feeling she'd been ignoring for her whole life washed her over. She'd nearly been akumatized, but Marinette was nearby and helped her. Chloe gave her long due apologies to Marinette, and the two girls quickly bonded in the dark lonely world they were in.

Nathaniel stayed invisible, quietly observing. He always saw the smirk and the glare she had when she thought no one was looking. He'd seen through the mask multiple times. He broke when Marinette returned from the bathroom, looking determined and confident. Lila ran in minutes later, with crocodile tears streaming down her face. She showed a fake smudgy bruise. The whole class turned on Marinette and started yelling at her, and the confident and happy face quickly morphed into the most hurt and broken face he'd ever seen. Pure rage seethed throughout Nathaniel that day. He looked around for Chloe and Alix, and quickly remembered that they were out of town. He glared at Alya from the back, and watched her raise her hand to slap Marinette. And the next thing he knew, he was standing in front of Marinette protectively, blocking Alya's arm.

Those three hung out everyday after that, forming their own pack, which was quickly joined by Luka and Kagami, both who trusted Marinette with their life.

Alix knew what Lila was like from the start. She'd lied about too many things that simply didn't match, and anyone with half a brain cell should've been able to tell.She slowly distanced herself from the class, but she kept her distance from the other three as well. She figured she'd keep to herself and everything would be fine. But when she heard Lila cornering Marinette in the washroom, she couldn't help herself. She barged out of the stall, punched Lila in the nose and walked out. That earned her a month of detention, barely escaped suspension, only because Mdm Mendeliev didn't care.

That day, Marinette Chloe and Nath made sure to get detention from Mdm Bustier, and the four went on from there. From then on, she became part of the pack, and they protected each other at all costs.
