Heavy Heart | Miraculous Ladybug

Bittersweet

The next day Adrien and Marinette avoided each other and didn't speak a word to each other. Hao and Marinette got closer to each other due to how much time they spent with each other. Adrien was usually at the house in a neutral mood putting up with Eric's babbling about girls.

Around eight at night Adrien decided to go downstairs to face what was called enterally hell. "Hey, where is senpai?" He asked.

"She went off somewhere in the city to go look at something." Hao replied.

"At this time?"

"I don't know. Don't ask me."

"Imma go get her." He slipped his shoes on and exited the house.

Marinette walked the streets of Japan in a certain mood. She left the house because she needed air and needed to clear her mind when Eric talked to her.

-FLASHBACK-

"Hey, is something up with you and your man?" Eric teased with his signature smile.

"W-WHAT HOW DO YOU KNOW?" She asked rather shocked.

"It's obvious. Even Hao noticed it. You two having a couple fight?"

"No, it's not actually a fight. More of a," she sighed and looked down. "I'm always a bit immature about it."

"You're not the only one. I was in the same boat with someone too. She was everything I wanted and she was just so cool in many ways. I wanted her to see me as mature, but it is a struggle to keep up. After all, life is a struggle. Anyways, from time to time, I felt the necessary to act like a child. It's strange, but for men, but affection is the only way of confirming love. No matter how old they get. I can't believe I'm saying this, but please stay with him."

-END OF FLASHBACK-

The words echoed her mind to where she lost main focus of where she was supposed to be. She ended up walking around in a giant circle for the past fifteen minutes. You have got to be kidding me...

Two men walked up to her and they were very muscular and very knocked in the head. "Hello! How's it going?!" Asked the blond haired guy.

"You new around here? We can show you around senpai." Winked the brown haired guy.

ARE THEY HITTING ON ME?! THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WEIRD, BUT....THEY ARE JUST WEIRD.

"UHH, NO THANKS I'M GOOD. I HAVE TO GO." She started to walk away, but the blond hair guy grabbed her by the wrist.

"Oh wait!" The brown haired guy said, wrapping an arm around her, "let us show you around."

HOLY CRAP! THEY ARE STRONG. THEY ARE LEADING ME SOMEWHERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HECK TO DO. DEAR GOD....

"Hey!" Someone yelled behind them in a stern voice. They turned around to see no other than Adrien. "Don't touch her."

"GAH!" They all said in shock.

Their grips loosened on her and she walked towards Adrien. "Adrien, I'm fine already, so..."

I SWEAR THEY BETTER NOT FIGHT!

"W-WE WERE JUST HELPING-G HER WITH DIRECTIONS-S..." The blond haired guy stammered with his words while the brown haired guy shrunk back.

"Dude, just go." The brown haired guy whispered to his friend as they both ran off in fear, leaving the area.

Adrien let out a large sigh. "They are very tall. Scared me for sec because I never really faced that in years. I'm glad that it didn't get messy." He turned to face her who was on the ground in a daze. "Anyways, what are you doing out here at night by yourself? Everyone at the house is concerned about you, you know. What are you doing on the ground?"

"Resting."

"Well, don't rest there."

If it turned into a fight and if it got messy...what could I have done?

"Were you scared? Come on." He bent down and reached his hand out towards her.

"It's fine."

"You're not fine. Give me your hand."

"I said it's fine."

"What's fine?"

"It...It's because you said that you didn't care of who I chose or what I do!" She let it go and tears formed in her eyes.

"Huh?" He asked bewildered.

I-I can't stop myself...

"This whole time I have been worried that you don't care anymore about me and I somehow feel like you're going to get rid of me like how you got rid of your other girlfriends. I feel like I mean nothing to you, but another one of your girls. Why did you let those girls you don't know kiss you and hug you. Why did you do dangerous things like what just happened?" She reached out towards him and tugged at the sleeve of his shirt. "Why did you leave me alone?"

Crap, vented once again.

Instantly he embraced her in his arms instantly. "I'm sorry for saying that I didn't care."

"But you said..." She was getting pissed that he was reversing it all over again.

"I did say it, but I was just fooling myself. Were you scared?"

She buried her face in his shoulder while he held her close to him. "I-I guess..."

"I'm sorry, okay? I will never leave you alone anymore."

"Liar."

"I'm not lying. The next time I leave you alone, senpai, you can go ahead and kill me."

"You idiot," she snapped with a shaky voice while more tears flowed from her eyes. "If I do that...there is no one else. Who will embrace this side of me that even I hate?"

He picked her up bridal style and carried her back home. "You know that I can walk?"

"I know."

"Then why are you carrying me?"

"Just for these moments that I want to remember."
