No longer Miraculous

Chapter 6: Adrien

  I sat alone on a bench, next to the road. Why didn't she wanna know who I was? Why can't I know who she was? Had she ever considered she might be happy with whomever I was? Maybe there was no hope, or good in trying. I needed to respect how she felt, and maybe if she really knew that I can be a good person, she'd let me know... but I thought I had already proven that to her...

I continued to think to myself, only hurting my pride, and heart more and more, until I saw her jumping upon roof tops. Maybe I could find out now. Maybe if I followed her, I'd find out where she lived! I could do that, but that'd be going against her wishes...

I arose, and headed home, there was no point, being at party would never bring up my spirt... "Adrien! Wait!" I heard Nino call from behind, as he stood in front of me.

"Hey, Nino. What's up?" I asked, as he handed me a book. "What's this?" "I got you a journal! And I asked Ladybug to sign it. She seemed very flattered when I told her oh we're a fan."
"Wow, thanks Nino!" I thanked, as I hugged him, and then waved goodbye. "I'll see you at school, man." Nino waved, as I waved back.

"I was a bit happier then before, but I wasn't completely happy. I still wanted to know who Ladybug was, more than ever, but I didn't expect to ever know, not at this point anyway. I was... depressed...

Once home, I snuck into the window as Chat, and then retransformed. I lied down in bed, hugging my ring.  My ring was important because it let me live a life I actually wanted to live.  Not to mention that I got to have someone like a lazy, older brother-- Plagg, and see my lady almost everyday.  I thought about her almost every second of the day.  She was smart, kind, fast, beautiful... whomever she is must be perfect... 

I woke up the next morning and got out of bed.  Today was my last day of living with my father, because he was sending me to  boarding school.  I wasn't really sad about it, though.  Almost my whole class wasting to boarding school with me.  Nino, Alya, Marionette--Chloe... It was going to be annoying to live in the same building as Chloe.  She was probably going to come and visit it me every night, and every morning- er, basically the whole day.  It would indeed be annoying, but at least I got to live in the same room as Nino, and in the same place as Marionette, and Alya.  They were all friends I was truly grateful for.  

I walked out of my room, after getting ready.  I wanted to see if my dad wanted to hang out before I left tomorrow, because the school was father downtown of Paris, which meant I probably wouldn't see my father all that much.  I bet he wouldn't even notice, though.  I would miss my dad with all my heart, but I was sure he wouldn't really care if I wasn't here.  I knocked on his door, and walked in.  "Hello father."  I began, looking down at my feet, ashamed for some reason I didn't understand.  He slowly walked over, and placed a hand on my shoulder.  "Son."  He sat me down in a chair at the far end of his table, and he on the other side.

The table was so long, I couldn't even see his face clearly.  "So, today is your last day at this home, am I correct?"  "W-Well, father, I will come an visit- er, only if you'd like me to, though."  "Why would I not?"

"No reason, father."

"You understand that I love you completely, correct?"

"Yes father, I do understand."

"Good.  Well, since it's your last day living with me, I thought we could have some fun."  he smiled.  I didn't even know he knew how to say that word!  "W-What do you mean father?"  I asked, in much fear as he walked over to his coat rack, and placed a coat on.  "Well, I would like to spend my last day with my son, entirely.  I understand there's a lot I've missed while you grew up, and there's a few things I need to tell you, now that you're old enough."  he smiled slightly, and he grabbed me coat, and held it out to me.  I stared at the coat for a moment, my face filled with disbelief.  My father... he wanted to spend time with me... me, his... his son.  I stood up, and grabbed the jacket, tears almost filling my eyes.  I placed my coat on, and stared at him, as he opened the door.  Before stepping out, I gave him a warm hug for minute, as he patted my back.
