Adrien

The thing about losing you was that it was my fault. I am the reason you are gone. The reason I'm holding you right now, just letting you slip through my fingers.

Its my fault.

Its all my fault, yet I am blaming him.

I'm blaming the one whos hair matches his eyes. 

Im blaming the one whose freckled face matched yours.

The one whose smile was the cause for your lips to break at the seams and let out such an angelic laugh.

Im blaming the one who promised to save you.

Because he didn't save you. 

He didn't save you.

The roles reversed.

You saved him.

it wasn't supposed to be that way. You weren't supposed to be here, in my arms, slowly fading.

It was supposed to be him...

You were supposed to be in his arms.

You were supposed to be with him. 

Yet I just wouldn't accept it would I?

So I'm blaming him.

The one with the green eyes.

And the hair that matched the radiant sunlight that your smile so often reminded me of.

I blame the one who was supposed to help you save people. 

The one who did the opposite of saving.

I blame him.

I blame myself.

And so does he.

And so do you.

It makes sense.

It was all my fault wasn't it?



I watch as Ladybug's mask is slowly disappearing.

"M-Marinette! Please!"

What have I done. Holy fuck what have I done...

"Marinette please, please I am so sorry. Please don't die. Please Marinette I am so sorry!"

I cannot physically contain my sobs. They are horribly loud. Horribly over powering the fight that is going on around me.

"ADRIEN NOW! TAKE HER MIRACULOUS!" My father's voice boomed in my ears.

"No, Marinette - PLEASE!"

"ADRIEN! NOW! YOU HAVE BOTH MIRACULOUS TAKE IT NOW!"

"I can't Father she's-"

"SHE'S DEAD! YOU FUCKING KILLED HER!" 

I'm not even the slightest bit fazed to be staring at green eyes filled with a murderous anger.

"YOU KILLED HER!"

I saw the darkness take form in his eyes. His hands slowly tighting their grip around me.

He chanted it like a seance. Over and over and over like it would someone change her fate.

I could only look at him through the thick fog that seemed to be filling my eyes.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"YOU. KILLED. HER. YOU...You...you...kill...you killed...her..." I didn't think it was possible to hear heartbreak. It was always something I figured you could only feel. But as I witnessed Deku choke on his sobs, he slowly loosened his grip.

"She's gone..." He whimpered. "I...she's gone...we can't..." He broke down and grasped the earrings I vaguely recognized my father yelling at me to grab. 

I think it was then I realized just how much she meant to him.

And I could only assume thats what he meant to her.

The world seemed quiet as my mind slowly cleared. As I released that anger that caused me to get akumatized in the first place.

"Here."

"ADRIEN NO!" My fathers voice rang loud and clear. Except it wasn't in my mind this time. He was trying to move as quickly as he could to grab what I was handing Izuku.

The soft metal dropped into his hand, making a slight clinking noise as it connected with Marinette's dark earrings.

"NO!"

Izuku looked at me, his eyes wide.

I nodded.

"Bring her back..."


See, the thing about losing you is maybe you weren't mine to lose in the first place.

Maybe thats why I saw just how much it pained him to see you laying there, lifeless and souless.

The thing about losing you is it was much worse for him.

Because you weren't mine.

No matter how much I wanted you to be mine you weren't mine.

You were his. You were all his.


I look up at Izuku stands and looks at what once was.

"Deku?" A small girl with rosy cheeks and short brown hair came over. "We won..."

She looks at me and I look back up at her, trying to decipher whether the blush on her cheeks was from the fight or from the tension felt in the air at the moment.

"No, not yet, Ochaco. We haven't won..."

Izuku looks over to where my father is being held down by that murderously angry blonde boy.

His green eyes trail one last time to the the accessorsies.

"But we're about to."
