Birthday Wishes

Marinette rushed over to the hospital, bursting into the room

Marinette: ADRIEN!!

He looked over at Marinette & smiled

Adrien: Hey, m'lady.

Marinette: Sabrina told me what happened! Are you okay?

Adrien: Marinette, I'm fine. It's just a broken arm, that's all.

Marinette: Where were you when this happened?

Adrien: The police station.

Marinette: What? What were you doing there?

Adrien: I found out about Theo Barbot & it appears that he was trying to target you.

Marinette: Target me? But why?

He grabbed the file from the dresser & handed it to her

Marinette: What is this?

Adrien: Your records. Theo knew everything about you. Your parents, your age, and your house address. He was a sexual assault monster who was going to target you next.

Marinette: W-What..?

Adrien: (mind) I think I've been stalling for too long.

Adrien: Marinette, I think it's about time I told you.

Marinette: Told me about what?

Adrien: The incident.

Marinette: Okay.

She grabbed ahold of a chair & sat down, looking him in the eyes

Marinette: I'm ready to listen.

He took a deep breath & exhaled out of her mouth

Adrien: Okay, so, before the car incident. You had a crush on me & I rejected your feelings, only seeing you as a friend. As you were hurt, you went into the street & got hit by a car, making you suffer from amnesia. I got into this fight because of Theo, as he was the one who hit you with the car while he was driving past the speed limit trying to escape from the police due to his sexual assault crimes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I was worried you'd hate me &...

Before he could finish, Marinette hugged him tightly & he stayed quiet

Marinette: Adrien, so.. I have amnesia..?

Adrien: Yes. And I'm so so sorry for what I did. It was all my fault.

Marinette: No, it isn't! But now, I don't care about that. What I really care about is you. Let me take care of you. You have a cast now & you're in pain.

Adrien: But, Marinette, it's only a cast. Everything will be fine.

Marinette: But..

Marinette looked at him with a sad face & whimpered

Adrien: It's okay, bugaboo.

Marinette: O-Okay..

Adrien: You should head back home. I won't be out of the hospital until tomorrow.

Marinette: Okay. But just text me when you get out. I'll come visit you right away.

Adrien: Of course, m'lady.
