My Best Friend's First Love

Chapter 6: My Promise

Marinette's Pov:

Surprisingly it wasn't so awkward, or at least I didn't feel awkward. I felt that we were getting closer. But, what was awkward, was being around Nino. I felt like it was wrong to pretend nothing happened. I was thinking that Nino might be trying to set us up. He always leaves Adrien and I alone. Maybe I'm just making it up in my head. I think I should talk to him but, not a word about the kiss. It's our secret, after all.

It was the weekend so Nino and I decided to go to Adrien's house for a Study session. Adrien let us in willingly. His electric green eyes beamed as he opened the door and the corner of his lips curled inwards. He definitely is his father's son.

" I'll go get you guys some refreshments!" Adrien said exuberantly as he walked out. I knew I could tell Nino then and there but, my nerves started acting up. Butterflies whirled inside my stomach.

" Nino" I blurted out. His head spun towards me in confusion. " I think we should cut the act" I continued. His eyes widen.

" I know you like Alya and I know you've been trying to set Adrien and I up" I explained as his face grew pale.

" I wasn't trying to set you guys up " Nino whispered. Suddenly, I knew I wouldn't win. " I thought we were going to be together forever" 

" You like Alya" I explained, " You guys are soulmates!" His eyebrows scrunched up in anger as his face pointed towards the ground.

" You don't know how much pain it is to know it'll never work out with the person you love," Nino said as his voice grew hoarse. " Alya has moved on from us and you know it" Nino admitted. I could hear his voice cracked and I've never seen him so broken. So helpless. "She's a whole country away and every time a phone call ends my heart breaks" He cried. " You can't leave me too!" He was right. I didn't know the pain of being in love with someone so far away.

 I didn't know anything.

" I'm sorry" I replied " I'll never leave your side" Nino's arms wrapped around my waist and he cried. I could hear the whimpers creep out of his mouth.

" Thank you so much!" he says. I could hear a plate crash behind the door. 

Adrien 

Thankfully, Nino didn't take notice at all.

" Why don't you go to the bathroom and wash it off," I said. He nodded and turned away slowly. 

I feel horrible. I'm the worst person in the world.

Nino's Pov:

I felt horrible. I'm the worst person in the world.
