Accidental Love A Marichat Story

Chapter 15- The test

***Hi my loyal readers. I apologize for the long wait. I was in the middle of a move. I hope you like the next chapter. Thank you for your support. Sending love, MMF.***

Adrien grunted as he saw the time. Patrol time! Why did he have to patrol? Why with Ladybug? Why couldn't his princess be his Lady?

The blonde was tired, don't get him wrong, he loved Ladybug as a partner, but he tended to say dumb stuff when he was with her, causing problems with his princess.

Marinette! Marinette hated his guts. He had tried like hell for her to forgive him as Chat Noir, but she didn't care. Nothing was working. Not the gifts, letters, or attempted visits! Chat was starting to lose it.

It had been three days since he had spoken to her as Chat. It has been three nights since Adrien has slept. Luckily his finals were moved to the next day because he was sure he didn't have the strength tonight. He felt as if his body was going to drop any minute.

True, he got to address her as Adrien, but that wasn't the same. He didn't get to hold, caress, or sleep next to her as Chat Noir did. He yearned for her. Chat Noir longed for his princess.

"Why don't you just talk to her?" Plagg asked, feeling annoyed. Couldn't he enjoy his delicious camembert without his owner's moping?

"You know I've tried, but she doesn't want to see me!"

"Not pigtails, Ladybug."

"What? Why would I do that? Every time she is near, I lose Marinette more."

"Ugh, do I have to spell it out for you? Kid, talk to Ladybug. Tell her the truth. Tell her you are in love with pigtails, and maybe she can help or talk to her," Plagg said, knowing the two girls were the same. That might be the kid's only chance to get her to listen.

Adrien's eyes widened. Of course, how could he have been so stupid? He needed to be honest with Ladybug. While he felt bad that he broke his word of only loving her, he couldn't help who his heart loved. He loved Ladybug, but he was in love with Marinette.

"Thanks, Plagg. You do care."

Ladybug waited for her partner's arrival. She was not ready to deal with Chat Noir. Marinette couldn't believe how heartless he was. He made her think he had fallen for her. He made her second-guess her feelings for Adrien. Therefore, rejecting him and all for what? To tell Ladybug Marinette would never be good enough and he loved her?

Marinette would never be able to forgive him. Yes, she was Ladybug, but Chat didn't know that. Now, Ladybug wondered if she could trust him as her partner. If Marinette couldn't trust him with her heart, how could she trust him with her life?

"Good evening, Ladybug," Chat called as he landed behind her.

Ladybug stiffened as her eyes watered at the sound of his voice. She hated that he had the power to affect her this way. Ladybug wished she could turn back time and never open to door to him. He broke her heart, but she wasn't Marinette right now. She was Ladybug!

Taking a deep breath, she replied.

"Hey, Chat, are you ready to patrol?"

"Actually, can we talk? I really need to say some things," Chat Noir asked nervously.

"Chat, if this is about that night, I rather not talk. You know how I feel an-"

"Ladybug, I lied!" He interrupted.

The heroine turned to look at her partner, confused.

"What?"

"I lied, Ladybug, and I am sorry I did. I honestly don't know why I did it. I saw you put your life in danger, and I panicked. I would have said anything for you to agree never to do it again. I am sorry I lied, but Paris needs you. My princess needs you. She is here in Paris, and if you are gone, she is in danger," he confessed.
