Warning! Violence, blood, physical abuse!

Marinette: Uh, Adrien. I didn't expect for you to come.

Adrien: I didn't expect for you to come either.

She pulled away from him, struggling to carry the wine box in her hands

Adrien: Uh, here. Let me help with you that.

Marinette: Are you sure? It's pretty heavy.

Adrien: Yeah.

He took the box from her hands & Adrien looked at her, clearing his throat nervously

Adrien: Um, how have you been? It's been two years since I've last saw you.

Marinette: I've been fine, but I doubt you'd really care.

Adrien: Come on. Don't tell me that you're still pissed at me.

She turned away, but Adrien looked at the mark, that was showing on her left wrist

Adrien: Marinette, what is that mark?

She looked at the mark & covered it with her jacket sleeve

Marinette: It's nothing, don't worry about it. I just burned myself while cooking.

Adrien: But that mark looks severe.

Marinette: Adrien, I'm fine.

He was about to touch her wrist, but Marinette slapped his hand away

Marinette: Adrien, I just told you that I'm fine! Why are you even concerned about me in the first place?!

Feeling frustrated, Adrien grabbed ahold of her wrist, as the mark began to show

Adrien: Marinette, that's enough. I'm concerned because I care about you.

Marinette: That's bullshit! If you cared, you would have accepted my feelings!

Adrien: Oh my god. Marinette, I told you I was sorry!

Marinette: That doesn't make up for the fact that you really broke my heart!

Adrien: I didn't mean to!

Marinette: It was because of you that I ended up with amnesia! That whole mess was your fault!

Adrien: It was your own fault! For stupidly walking into the street like that!

Marinette: Tell me something, Adrien. All throughout the memories we shared together, did you ever show one sign that you had feelings for me romantically?

Adrien stayed quiet at her sudden question & he didn't respond

Marinette: So that's a no.

She pulled away from his grasp, feeling upset

Marinette: I don't want to deal with this right now.

Before she could walk off, Adrien stopped her, finally forming a sentence

Adrien: I did.

She turned back around to look at him

Adrien: When we danced at Chloe's party in high school.

Marinette: Then why..? Why did you always label me as "just a friend?"

Adrien: It was a way to hide my true feelings for you.
