The Salt Files: Additional Cases (MLB)

A Dragon's Protection

I'm in the process of writing old ideas (i'm talkin 2023 or older ideas)

I'm also combining requests as well cuz I have a lot (I think like all the notes I've created on my Notes app including personal ideas is like 125)

And I was trying to have a lot or most of it written before 2030 cuz I don't wanna like DIE or become super busy before I write it all T-T

So speed running ideas and prewriting them (hopefully)

Anyways

Marinette adored Kagami's presence, like a lot. She was one of the last few people that made her feel safe anymore.

The same is for Kagami; being with the other bluenette girl made her happier than she has been in a long time. She felt like they could form a true friendship, unlike the other burned bridges with the rest of the class.

Kagami didn't know what hurt worse: the fact that they destroyed Marinette's trust in people or that they still abandoned her even after everything she had done for them.

Could be a lesbian fic if you squint😏

Kagami bit back a smirk as she watched Marinette run around her room for the millionth time searching for her purse. She insists that it is very important and that she couldn't leave home without it. 

Not even to go not even half a block to grab a sandwich for lunch.

Marinette groaned as she faceplanted into her bed, feeling defeated. But suddenly, she felt a weight on her bed next to her. She turned her head and saw that her purse had been on her the entire time, just too light for her to notice. She threw a pillow at Kagami, who was now failing at trying not to laugh. "You knew it was on me the entire time, didn't you?!"

"I thought you would've remembered you put it on right after you finished your work." Kagami got up and stretched.

"Well sometimes I'm scatterbrained!" Kagami rolled her eyes as she held the trapdoor open before Marinette could fall through again. Arm in arm, the girls headed out of the building to get their food while talking about nothing important in particular. 

"Did you hear that Adrien was going to make a move on Luka? I didn't think he had it in him," Marinette admitted as they neared their destination. Kagami hummed in agreement as she held the door open. The designer bowed dramatically before dragging Kagami by the arm inside. After grabbing their food, the girls decided to eat at the park to enjoy the lovely day. But of course, that idea was shattered when they heard the voices of Bustier's class enjoying what seemed like a class picnic. Kagami could immediately feel Marinette's mood shift as she looked towards them, feeling a bit of sadness. Kagami tugged her arm, suggesting another spot to eat. The bluenette stayed silent the entire walk to their new place, which just so happened to be an area close enough to admire the Eiffel Tower's beauty. 

The girls sat down silently and started eating, Kagami giving Marinette worried glances every once in a while. After the two started hanging out more, the swordswoman can now proudly say that she has gotten better at reading people, especially mood shifts. When Marinette gets quiet, she's thinking and is practically in another world. It's best to let her come out of it naturally or start up a conversation, as Kagami as observed. So that's what she did.

Or at least attempted to do at least. But no matter what Kagami brought up, Marinette just seemed...lost. Kagami was about to try another subject when the bluenette quietly spoke.

"Sometimes it still hurts you know...knowing that I meant nothing to them after all this time." Kagami's heart hurt. She didn't know what hurt worse: the fact that they destroyed Marinette's trust in people or that they still abandoned her even after everything she had done for them.
