Our Little Family. {Our Little Series 3} (COMPLETE)

Chapter 41

Marinette walked into the living room and hugged Nathanael before sitting down. "Sorry I took so long." Marinette smiled at him.

"It's fine but I have some news." Nathanael sat down across from her and she lifted a brow. He rested his forearms on his thighs and jolted his leg up and down, nerves getting to him.

"What is it Nath?" Marinette asked him, putting her hand on his leg.

"Well uhm, I was wondering if I could uhm." He couldn't form words. What he was about to ask her was a pretty big deal.

"You can tell me anything." Marinette smiled at him and he took a deep breath. He took off his overcoat exposing bruises on his arms. "Where did you get those?"

"M-my fiancée." Nathanael scratched the back of his neck and Marinette gasped.

"Who's your fiancée?" Marinettes face was plastered with worry.

"I meet her in Italy for a job a while back. Her name is Karina but she likes to be called Kay." Nathanael sighed. "She moved here after I came back. She has neon blue hair and brown eyes and tattoos covering her arms and three piercings per ear." Nathanael tried to describe her as best he could.

"She sounds like a badass to me." Marinette giggled.

"She is. She likes adventure so I don't know why she fell for me. I like quiet." Nathanael sighed as Marinette stood up and grabbed his hand, leading him into a bathroom. "What're you doing?"

"I'm fixing you up. Keep telling." Marinette smiled at him. Nathanael sat on the edge of the tub and Marinette got out the first aid kit.

"So she came to Paris after I came back here and then we kept dating. She then moved in with me and as soon as we were behind closed doors she would turn into this sort of monster." Marinette lifted a brow. "She would have me do almost everything and would hurt me if I did something wrong."

"Lift your shirt." Nathanael took off his shirt and Mairnette winced at the sight of all the bruises and scars. "She can really hit you."

"Yep." Nathanael sighed. "And I also had to keep my painting skills up and sell my paintings to keep myself in business so I would have to do everything plus my paintings and have it all done by the time she got home from her job."

"What's her job?"

"She won't tell me but Rose told me she doesn't even have a job. That she just walks around Paris all day shopping." Nathanael winced as Marinette cleaned up the cuts on his chest and abdomen. Nathanael had abs but they weren't better then Adriens.

"How did you two get to fiancée part?" Marinette asked him.

"We meet when Scarlett was just born."

"You've been dating for four years?" Nathanael sighed and nodded.

"Five years tomorrow." Nathanael sighed. "We meet when Scarlett was just born, she moved in a year after that and then she played mind games with me until I bent down on one knee." He ran his hand though his hair and Marinette put the first aid kit away and he put his shirt back on.

"Jesus why don't you break up with her."

"I've tried but then she'd get mad at me." Marinette sighed as they walked through the house and back to the living room.

"So why did you come to me?"

"I-I was wondering if I could stay here for a few days."

"Of course." Marinette smiled and hugged him and he winced.

Marinette let go and looked at him, worry covering her face. "I-it's just my back."

She turned him around and looked at his back and winced. There was a giant bruise covering his back. "Oh Nathanael. You need to break things off with her, now." The doorbell rang and Marinette put down his shirt. "I'll be right back just stay here." He nodded and sat down while Marinette got the door. She opened the door and lifted a brow. "Who are you?"
