Is It Too Late To Say Sorry?

Untitled Part 3

Marinette's POV

I wake up for the fifth time tonight, my heart and head pounding, sweat pouring down my back. All night I have had nightmares of Cat Noir, or dare I now say Cat Blanc, and in most of them he either killed me or somehow killed himself. I take a few deep shaky breaths and look at the clock, 5:30 am. Thirty minutes from which I'm supposed to get up for school. 'Might as well get up now, because chances are if I fall back asleep I'll just have more nightmares.' With a tired sigh I get up out of bed and stand there for a moment, wondering what my tired brain wants me to do next.

"I'm guessing that you didn't have a good night's sleep, huh?" a voice yawns besides me. I turn to see Tikki floating her way to me.

"Morning, Tikki, and no I didn't have much luck sleeping peacefully last night. I kept having nightmares about....Cat Noir." I say, pausing a bit before saying his name. Tikki came and sat on my shoulder and nuzzled my face.

"It'll be okay Marionette. You'll figure out something, I'm sure if it. After all you are Ladybug." Tikki says, patting my cheek.

"You're right Tikki I will find a way to unakumatized Cat Noir." I said, although a small part of me remained skeptical of that.

Adrian's POV

The alarm clock goes off, startling me out of my sleep. I yawn and stretch while glaring at the clock, 5:55 am.

'Damn it, I got to get ready for school.' I think ruefully as I get out of bed. Plagg then floats out of his makeshift bed and stops two feet in front of me.

"Ahh, Plagg, lovely morning to you." I say to him. He only stares at me, not saying anything. Shrugging my shoulders, I went to my dresser to pick out something to wear.

"You know Plagg; I had the most interesting dream last night." I say as I hold up a black shirt that has a green paw print with claws on it. I smile as I remembered that I bought it a week after I became Cat Noir.

"In my dream, there was me and Ladybug and we were fighting another one of Hawkmoth's villains." I stated as I threw the shirt on my bed and start looking for some pants. Plagg slowly came closer to me, his ears sticking up, eager.

"And what happened, you guys did catch him right?" Plagg says.

"No, me and the villain had set her up in a trap. Once we got her in there, I killed her. That was a good dream though." I say as I pick up a pair of black pants. Plagg ears immediately flatten against his head. I stop for a moment and stare at the pants in my hand as a moment of fogginess or clarity finds it ways into my head. Which is which, I'm not sure.

"At least....I think it was a good dream." I mumble softly to myself. Plagg apparently hears this and floats towards me.

"Adrien, are you even sure that you want to hurt, much more, kill her?" he asked me, trying to look me in the eye. I wouldn't allow it though; I just kept on looking at the pants that I was holding.

"Ladybug is your friend, your partner in justice, your crush, and didn't you say that you loved her at one point and I know that you still do, somewhere deep in there." Plagg says getting closer to me. I grimace and gave a slight snarl as I remembered what happened, she won't ever love me back, not the way that I want her to.

"So you can't kill her, you won't." Plagg says. My hand finds its way to a fist, and then I release it, holding my hand out for Plagg to sit on, giving him a small smile. Plagg then floats over and sits, smiling.

"See, I knew that I can get through to you." Plagg says. I then close my hand around him and send multiple shock waves through to him, making him yell out in pain. I stop once I start smelling smoke; I didn't want dad's secretary coming in here. Afterwards I throw him on the bed and pick up my clothes.

"Don't ever question me again; you do as I say, when I say of it. Do you understand me?" I threatened my voice as sharp as glass. He only nodded and lay back down. I then grabbed my clothes and went to go get ready for school.

Marinette's POV

Two hours later, I finally get to school. Tikki is fast asleep and I am still worried about Cat Noir, but at least school can take my mind off things.

"Hey, girl!" my friend Alya says as she sneaks up behind me and grabs me by my shoulders.

"Hey Alya." I replied back as I turn around to hug her.

"So what you do yesterday? You just up and vanished and then didn't even call or text me last night." Alya jokes, poking me in my side.

"Huh? Oh..I..uh..I was really tired last night, my parents had me working late in the bakery, you know how it is." I say as I quickly blurt out my excuse. Alya looks at me for a bit, then her attention gets caught to something behind me.

"Well, well, well, looks like someone is trying to be a bad boy today." she whispers to me as she points her finger. I look in the direction she is pointing and is absolutely floored by what I see. Adrien is wearing mostly all black, his usually always brushed hair looks like he barely brushed it at all this morning, and he is wearing a light smirk on his face.

"Uh...wow." I whisper in awe. Alya chuckles and grabs my shoulder.

"Wow and whoa is right girl, but you better stop staring or else we would be late to class." Alya says, pushing me into the school.

We get into our classroom and sit in our seats right as the bell rings.

"Helloo! All you normal people settle down and don't worry, your princess Chloe is here." a blonde haired girl, named Chloe, says as she twirls and sits down. Although I could call her other things.

"Hey! Where is my boyfriend! Have anyone seen Adrien?" she says, looking around the classroom.

"That girl must have some twisted reality or something, because last time I check, her and Adrien are not dating" Alya mutters loud enough for me to hear. I only nodded and rolled my eyes at Chloe's antics.

"Hey, you, music freak. Where is Adrien?" she asks Nino, who only shrugged at her in response. "I don't know, and why should I tell you anyway? You guys aren't dating, never have and never will." Nino says, playing with his headphones. Chloe's red haired assistant was about to say something when Chloe stopped her. Chloe went over to Nino about to say something to him when the door opened. Adrien then comes in the door and puts his stuff on his desk.

"Adrien-kins, there you are." Chloe coos as she attempts to put her arms around Adrien's neck. Adrien then pushes her off, and pushes her kind of hard, I might add.

"Aww, what's wrong, Addy-kins? Is my boyfriend tired today?" she coos. Adrien looks at her, his eyes fill with annoyance and some sort of sly amusement.

"Boyfriend? Boyfriend? I am not your boyfriend." he says as he gets closer to her, making her back up against her desk. "I am not your boyfriend and never will be. And you want to know why? Because you are just a spoiled little blonde bitch, who looks down on other people in order to feel good about yourself. If things don't go your way, you run home to daddy crying so he can fix it. And the only reason why you would even be remotely interested in me is because I'm famous and that I have lots of money, and dating me will boost your social status. But the thing is you're just a heartless shrew and I don't think your quote, unquote best friend even likes you. She most likely only put up with you since you have a lot of money and somewhat popular, but if she wasn't your friend, you wouldn't have any at all." Adrian says, earning a few 'yeahs' and 'you tell her' from people in the room. Chloe's friend looks at the ground, not even looking at her.

"So get out your head that we are dating causes it'll never happen, you're too much of a bitch." Adrien says, as he steps away from her. Chloe's eyes fill with tears as she looks over the classroom, which is filled with people laughing at her.

"Daddy!" Chloe cries as she rushes out the room. Cheers envelopes the room.

"Woo! That girl finally gotten the much needed intervention that she deserves!" Alya cheers as she elbows me. I smile and nod as I watch Adrien sit beside Nino, who high fives him.
