Cords

Chapter 7 (Adrien POV)

After having a whole bunch of horrible flashbacks about my mother, and this seemingly abusive relationship with Chloe as a child, I needed to go talk to her.

It was only 22:00 so I was early at the Eiffel tower, and there were even a few people there who asked for my autograph; But by 23:00 they had all left. The security guards and I were pretty mutual, they knew I was able to get down on my own power. And everyone working the night shifts knew Ladybug and I met at 23:00.

As I waited for my Lady to arrive, I reminisced about her glorious face, and even though it was a magical thing to see; her heart was trillions of times more incredible. I thought about her beautiful dark hair and how it contrasted well with her bright blue eyes. Again, I couldn't stop thinking about her eyes; they were so intriguing, they always had happiness buried within them, and yet I was so close to her.

It was about 23:50 now, so I expected her to show up soon, then I spotted her. The moonlight gleamed on Ladybug's red suit and I saw the thin string of her yo-yo, forming a spiderweb across the night sky. She was smiling and with that I smiled as well, her smile was so contagious I couldn't help it.

Ladybug finally made her way up to where I was sitting and sat beside me.

"Hey Chat, how goes it?" She asked.

I sighed, "I guess I'm doing alright, though I just had a horrible date with a girl I thought I liked. Then I realized she wasn't you," I smirked.

"Hm," She said, "Well, I guess that means one less person you have to go through until you meet your soulmate."

"I guess so." I said, "Let's talk about something else for a little while alright? How is your thing going?"

"Not so good Chaton, he went on a date with that other girl, and I don't know what they did, n'or do I want to." She said sadly, "I'm starting to think I have no hope with this guy."

"I'm sure he will like you, this girl might be a temporary thing, mean people don't deserve to have someone nice." My heart was tearing into pieces as I said this, and I was trying so hard not to burst into tears and declare my love for her.

We continued to talk as we soared through the streets of Paris, and I did my best talking to her as she indulged in her love life. I tried to block most of the conversation from my mind. And when it was finally time to leave, for the first time ever, I needed to talk to someone about Ladybug.

We said our goodbyes and I leapt off to the one person I knew I could count on, Marinette. I had been to her house multiple times and she was the only friend I had other than Ladybug when I was in my superhero persona. I made my way over to the bakery and knocked on Marinette's window.

Marinette walked over to her roof window and shot a confused look at me but opened it.

"Chat Noir? What are you doing her?" She asked, puzzled.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sad, and I can't talk about it to Ladybug so I came to you, Princess," I said.

"Alright come in, I'll get us some hot drinks," She sighed tiredly.

Marinette came back five minutes later with two cups of hot chocolate and some pastries.

"So," She said, "What's up?"

"I've been having girl trouble Princess, it isn't too good. I thought I really liked this girl and we had all these great memories together, but it turned out she was a horrible person. And I looked over my memories again and realized they weren't so good as they seemed. I even went on a date with her but she was uninterested in doing anything but talk about herself. Then Ladybug kept telling me about her love life and I couldn't join in on the discussion because I don't have someone to be in love with anymore." I said it all in a rush of emotion and pain, everything I have wanted to say since I started talking to Ladybug that night.

"Wow, I'm sorry Chat, that must be horrible. I hope that she becomes more sensitive to your feelings, but in Ladybug's defense, you should tell her that this is making you sad. I'm sure she would be very considerate of you." She said calmly.

Marinette and I continued talking about Ladybug and my issues in trying to win her heart for about an hour. The conversation then had taken a turn down a great path, and we were talking about our favourite television shows, movies, and everything in between. Marinette made me laugh and it was like being with Ladybug except there was not as much restraint to how much information Marinette could share because I knew her identity. Of course, I still have to be careful about what I say but not as careful as before. We danced into the night and it was amazing, Marinette was amazing, and everything around me seemed amazing.

I left Marinette's house after she had gone to sleep "amazing" I got ready for bed "amazing" I lay in my bed and all I could think of was "amazing, amazing, amazing." All night I stayed up thinking about her and got giddy all over again thinking about what we did.

All I can say to summarize it, it was amazing.
