Where Does the Red String Go? -Miraculous Ladybug AU Soulmates

Chapter 35- Eyes of a Killer

Marinette's POV

"I'm sorry I'm late Luka!"

I say as I pant in front of him. The clock read three thirty-two. Standing up, I press a kiss on his cheek.

"Why are you two minutes late?" He demands, grabbing my arm and pulling me inside. It's not harsh enough to be noticed by his probation officer, but not gentle enough to ease me of my worries.

As he leads me to his room, his hands squeeze my arm tighter, the change so minute that only I notice it. A jolt of fear spikes. I know that grip. It means that things weren't going to end well.

He releases my arm as we enter his room, I stumble and land on the soft mattress of his bed. Sitting up and plastering a bright smile, I ask "What did you want to talk about?"

I had received his message this morning, furiously written with misspellings. Adrien still hadn't replied to me, although when I spammed him he read all my messages. Oh well, it's better than delivered. I stand up and press another kiss on his cheek, hoping it will diffuse some of his strong emotions.

Luka's eyes clouded with fury as he shoved a magazine in my hands. It's one of the magazines the girls at school had, but this time a newer version.

"You read Gossip Girl?" I ask incredulously, raising an eyebrow.

"It's Juleka's, and that's not the point! Read the third page." Luka says.

I sigh and open the magazine, filled with girls wearing bikinis and fake plastic Botox. I avert my eyes from their perfect bodies. It's too painful to look at now.

I turn to the third page. Unsurprisingly, there's a handsome picture of Adrien in a pigeon feather hat.

ADRIEN AGRESTE FAINTED!

Yesterday at the Louvre Museum, Adrien was reported to be noticeably light headed during his interview with Vogue.

"He was spacing out and panting slightly, and I couldn't help but imagine his hot body on mine. He looked really handsome." A spectator said.

After a few hawkward minutes of this, Adrien eventually collapsed. Ambulance was soon called.

Adrien Agreste has been discharged as of today, and recovering.

"He just got a minor heat stroke." His doctor says. "His temperature was elevated due to some strong emotions he was experiencing."

Fans who came to visit him said that he was murmuring a name while resting.

"He was saying something like 'Marinette' or something like that. But I think he was dreaming of me, because his hand twitched when I breathed near him." A fan said.

Who is Marinette? Is it his friend? Or perhaps something more? We have yet to find out.

I look up from the magazine and stare into Luka's eyes.

"You know we're just friends right?"

He shakes his head, fury still in his eyes. "I said to not text anyone, yet the fact that he's dreaming of you says that you've talked to him recently." His tone is just disguising the hatred underneath.
