Marinette ran back to mall. She was done being scared. She was done telling herself that she wasn't enough. She had to fix it. There she ran in the mall running through halls trying to look for Adrien. She was done running away. She saw him walking down one of the hallways turning a corner. She ran after him. "ADRIEN!"

He around and stopped in his tracks. Then to his surprise she pulled him into a kiss. His eyes widened and his heart started to pound. She pulled away quickly speaking.

"LISTEN ADRIEN! I AM SORRY. IT'S ALL MY FAULT, BUT I CAN FIX IT!"

"Fix what?"

"YOU ALWAYS CHASE AFTER ME. I ALWAYS RUN AWAY AND I TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU, BUT IT NEVER COMES OUT THAT WAY SINCE I ALWAYS RUN AWAY FROM YOU! THE REASON WHY I LEFT YOU TWO WAS BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. I ALWAYS GETS JEALOUS AND I THINK THAT YOU WILL RUN AFTER THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME! WELL, THAT IS ALL IN MY HEAD."

"I knew you get get jealous, but you always deny it."

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT! THE POINT IS...I AM THE ONE WHO IS SAYING I AM NOT ENOUGH. I KEEP ON THINKING THAT I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU. I-I'M SCARED THAT..."

"Keep talking."

"I-I'm scared that you will leave me behind. The s-same way my mother left me. I now know my worth...I know it now. So please, don't pity me. Your tears do not wash away your sorrows. They feed someone else's joy. And that's why you must learn to swallow your own tears. I didn't lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worm down by water." She tugged at his shirt sleeve while tears streamed down her face. "And I think mow that fate is shaped half by expectation, half by inattention. But somehow, when you lose something you love love, faith takes over."

He pulled her closer to him as she buried her face in his shoulder. He realized she was shaking. "I'm so glad you fell for me again, senpai. No girl has ever done that. Commit their own faults or ask me not to pity them. You're the rare breed."

"I'm not an animal." She spoke bluntly.

"I know. Just what you said right now. It felt like I was born again. You make me happy. I feel like an idiot. I'm not as cool as you think I am. I'm nothing without you by my side, senpai. You know, you usually got pretty annoying, stubborn and arrogant sometimes."

"Excuse you?"

"Let me finish. But even though you did that, that only made me love your flaws and you more. Honestly for how long I've waited you were a woman worth waiting for."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Really, really?"

"Really, really."

"Did I do that when I was drunk?"

"Yeah."

"Oh." She pulled back as he started to wipe away her tears by kissing them off.

"Salty."

"Are you actually...okay, never mind."

"I gotta go shopping for my dad and stuff. Kind of stupid."

"Hey, what about—"

"Oh Eloise? Yeah, I told her to leave us alone. I gave her ten thousand dollars to back off for ten months."

"Oh. I have to go to my job now."

"Yeah, yeah." He started to walk off.

"A-also!"
