Forgetting You

Chapter Nine

As ladybug DE transformed, hitting a billboard was exactly the softest landed spot, Marinette created a dent, before she fallen near an alleyway on the ground, face towards the wall, on her side, her heart felt a weight in her, as if she just wanted to cry, and let everything out, hearing the commotion behind her, during the fight. At least she was happy that she pointed out the object, beforehand.

She could hear the pain, and the suffering in chats voice, knowing that the boy was crying, she felt awful for letting her guard down, her heart was just too big to let luka, the one who hurt her, just get sucked in by the akumas desires. Sacrificing herself to save another, that's the job of a hero, so, quite literally, Marinette was everyone's everyday ladybug.

Soon everything had stopped, and went dead silent, except for some footsteps getting louder, as if they were coming towards her frail body. Then being pulled into none other, than chats arms, seeing the anger, sadness, and all that were held upon his beautiful emerald cat-like eyes.

"Your right, it was me, always have been"

Marinette's lips curled to a soft, and gentle smile, placing her hand on his cheek, brushing his hair out of his face

"I'm sorry, chaton, I didn't realize my feelings for you before then, I guess, I've always loved you, just. Too blind to notice"

Mari let out a small laugh, before her hand fell to her side, and her head laid heavy against his chest, still keeping her sweet innocent smile, as her dark hair fell over her shoulders, still keeping the bracelet Adrien made for her all those years ago, in her hand.

Feeling the tears slowly falling from his face, he clenched his jaw trying not to show his emotions even if it was obvious.

"It's always been me-I'm sorry-"

Her words made his face smile until he heard he admit that she never realized. That hit too close to home. It gave him a small burn in his heart remembering all of the rejections until it hit him.

He wasn't the only one rejected. He hurt her; it was his fault she was with Luka to begin with. The thought alone made him feel like the biggest douche in the world. If it wasn't for him none of this would have happened.

"It's okay princess, but you need to get up. I need to fix the dumb thing I'm about to do." He spoke slowly using one of his hands to wipe his face.

His smile was weak as he slowly gathered himself. It wasn't until he watched his princess's hand fall-that he knew something wasn't right.

The moment her hand hit the ground-the world seamed to slow down. It felt like this was the moment everything ended.

Standing up he looked down upon her before slowly walking towards luka. Looking him up and down with redden eyes, tears still falling down.

"I won't hurt you as chat noir-but I will as myself" he muttered before putting a hand up. "Claws off" he spoke.

As the green glow disappeared, he knew there was no going back. It wasn't right and shouldn't happen but at that moment he believed it was the end of ladybug and her trusted chat.

Putting his hand down he quickly threw a sucker punch as hard as he could, standing there. It was almost as if all of the guilt hit him, of everything being steamed from him rejecting her.

He just hoped that she would be able to fix this, or else chat noir would be no longer.

Marinette felt chat hug her close, she just let her body fall for she was too exhausted, to even do anything, she done nothing at all, but smile, and look at his beautiful face that held many colors, and many hardships and emotions that came with it, who knew her identity reveal would take such a tole.
