Marinette One-Shots

She used be mine

If you don't know the song pls listen to it- it's amazing!

It's not simple to say
Most days I don't recognize me

Marinette glanced back at the mirror on her wall, aware that it wouldn't help.

These shoes and this apron
That place and its patrons

Dear class 1b,
I'm sorry to say that it's time for me to go.
I don't know if you still remember who I was before you changed,

Have taken more than I gave 'em
It's not easy to know

The class had changed since time passed... they'd gotten cruel.
While they were demanding before, they weren't mean, and they were oblivious..
Now..
Both statements are false.

I'm not anything like I used to be

And I sure as hell have changed since that first few months of realities paradise,
Not anything like you want me to be.

Although it's true

Marinette knows the pains and truths of the years will never fade.. no matter how much she wishes they would.

I was never attention sweet center
I still remember that girl

I remember the girl I was, I know the people we were, I know that the sweet girl you always wanted to be your friend, wasn't entirely real.

She's imperfect but she tries

Marinette remembers the softness and the imperfect kindness of the start of it all,

She is good but she lies

I was always your "sure" friend, wasn't I?
The one you could count on to be alright?
Well I wasn't, I wasn't alright.

She is hard on herself

Marinette knew her standards for herself were impossibly high, but she didn't care.

She is broken and won't ask for help

It was my fault, I should've gone for help.
But I didn't.
I should've known it was me changing, not you.
Perhaps the akumas were to much?

She is messy but she's kind

Marinette had been impacted majorly, the Akumas had changed her from the sweetest girl to a harder soul,

She is lonely most of the time

And although you were great friends, there really isn't a way to cure loneliness is there?

She is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone but she used to be mine

Marinette tilted her head up, as so that her tears would not mix with the ink on the page, so that they would not soften the sentiment.

It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door

With everything, and the Akumas, and being Ladybug..  sometimes it got to be to much for me. Doing a thankless job you never asked for? Is a lot. I know that life has a way of slipping in when you aren't paying attention, has a way of Che aging things, people.

And carves out a person
And makes you believe it's all true

Of course Marinette is a different person because of the Akumas, the trauma changed her, however much she wishes it didn't.
She doesn't know who she'd be without it.

And now I've got you
And you're not what I asked for

When we started this year, I was having a blast, enjoying myself, and your friendship. Where did I go wrong? You hate me now, so don't tell me I didn't.

If I'm honest I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over

As much as she hates to admit it, Marinette would trade everything that had happened this year for a chance to re do it.

And rewrite an ending or two

Im sorry it didn't go the way we wanted it to. I wish we had the chance to start this all over again.

For the girl that I knew

Marinette pulled the squad photo from the early days off the wall.
She remembered being that happy.
If only she could have that again.

Who be reckless just enough
Who can hurt but
Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised

Although it was never your fault, I learned to exist through the pain, never knowing that just because I could keep going doesn't mean I should've.

And gets used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
Of the life that's inside her

Marinette knows that her crush will never love her the way she loved him once.. the way she desperately clings into holding on to what remains of her love for him.

Growing stronger each day
'Til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little

The strength of the day will never be changed. Always remember to fight for who you want to be, not for who your forced to be.

To bring back the fire in her eyes

To bring back passion she once held, Marinette knew she had to leave.
So she was.
Marinette closed the door lightly behind her, locking it.

That's been gone but it used to be mine
Used to be mine
She is messy but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone but she used to be mine

It's time for me to say goodbye, to all of you lovely people.
Perhaps someday our paths will cross again.

With all of my love,
~Marinette
