Misunderstandings (Miraculous Ladybug)

Chapter 5

Why oh why did she always seem to find herself in these situations?

Alya had stopped by Marinette's house to return a book she had borrowed and met Tom and Sabine on their way out and her friend's parents let her inside before leaving. She had only managed to take two steps into the house before hearing the all too familiar voice of Adrien Agreste coming from around the corner.

"Where do you want me to put it this time?" He asked. "In the front, the back, or maybe even up top?"

Marinette giggled. "Surprise me."

Alya had to bite her tongue to resist the urge to start groaning and looked around her in disgust. Those two had done it in the bedroom, the kitchen and now on the couch, and those were only the places that she herself has listened in on. Was there anything in this house that wasn't tainted?

Alya was soon torn from her thoughts as the conversation going on just around the corner seemed to grow more intense.

"That's weird, it won't fit," came Adrien's confused voice, "is it too big?"

Marinette laughed. "Don't worry, we'll make it fit. Just wiggle it around a bit and shove it in hard."

There was a moment of silence before Adrien started to cry out in delight. "Oh, oh, oh, it's going in!"

"Why are you going so slowly," Marinette complained, "just thrust it in with all your might, I'm growing impatient."

"If you say so," Adrien replied, the snicker could be heard in his voice, "but don't complain if it breaks."

Alya couldn't take it anymore. Marinette and Adrien hadn't just gone too far, they were completely out of control and nobody but her seemed to care. Alya clenched her fists so tight that her fingernails poked into the skin of her palms. She had to do what she should have done all those weeks ago when this first started.

She had to stop them.

She didn't care anymore. She didn't care what she would see or what they would think, all she knew was that she was the only one who could put an end to this. Marinette was her precious friend and she couldn't stand to see her like this anymore.

Mustering up all her courage, Alya squeezed her eyes shut and burst around the corner.

"THIS HAS TO STOP!"

Silence.

Alya slowly peeked through one of her eyes, then opened both of them wide. Two fully clothed and very confused looking teens were sitting on the couch staring back at her, video game controllers in their hands.

All three of them were speechless. Alya looked from the faces of Marinette and Adrien, down to the controllers, then over to the tv and back again. She held up a very shaky finger pointing at them, attempting to make sense of what she was seeing.

"B-but you...you were...and that is..."

Marinette was the first to compose herself, cocking her head to the side and looking back at her friend innocently. "Oh, hey Alya, we didn't know you were here. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah," Adrien pitched in, "you're looking a little pale."

Alya clutched her head with both of her hands and began to shake it back and forth.

"This is what you were doing just now? You...you were playing video games?"

The two nodded.

"You were only playing video games, and nothing else? That's it, just videogames?"

They nodded again and now Alya was starting to feel lightheaded.

"If you want you could join us," Marinette offered with a wide smile, but Alya wasn't listening. Her mind was racing through all of the other scenarios she had overheard between Marinette and Adrien. If this was only a misunderstanding then what about the birthday party, or the phone call, what about everything else?

Were they all just...misunderstandings?

"I...I think I need to go home...and lay down."

Alya slowly turned around and managed to stumble her way out the door.

"I hope you're feeling better soon!" Marinette called after her friend, but got no response in return.

There was a moment of silence as the two teens stared at the spot where Alya had once been, before Adrien turned to face Marinette, a grin spread across his face.

"Do you think she finally learned her lesson about eavesdropping?"

Marinette held a hand up to her mouth and let out a little giggle. "It seems so, I was wondering how long it would take her to figure out. Although it's kind of a shame that everything is over now, I was having so much fun teasing her like that."

Adrien gave Marinette a cat-like grin and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her a little closer.

"Is that so? Then how about we do something together that's even more fun, eh Bugaboo?"

Marinette looked back at him slyly. "Oh? And just what did you have in mind, little kitty?"

He smirked. "I'm not that little, and you know it."

Marinette scooted over so she was sitting right next to Adrien, and brought her face in close.

"Ok, then let's get to the real fun."

~.~.~.~.~

What happens next? I'll leave all of that up to your dirty little imaginations, just try to remember Alya's experience before deciding what Marinette and Adrien will get into XD

And with that, I bid you farewell and thank you wholeheartedly for reading this story. I can't believe that what started as a 300 word one-shot became a 5 chapter story due to all of you asking for more. Coming up with ideas for it was so much fun and reading your reactions was hilarious!

I really hope you enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Wanna read more from me? I currently have 2 ongoing MLB fanfics that you should check out!

Have a wonderful day and try not to have any misunderstandings!!!
