Love;Lost (COMPLETE)

**45**

Marinette nervously laughed as Adrien sat across from her on her bed. He was dressed in yesterday's clothes but it was hard to tell. It looked like he was sneaking off to see her. "Adrien, why were you on her balcony?" Alya growled and Marinette blushed. She couldn't tell them.

"I-I-My Father told me that Marinette was sick but I thought I could use the exercise and climbed up to her room. H-Her parents know I'm here." He smiled and Alya didn't buy it.

"Adrien, why were you on her balcony?" He looked at Marinette. She shook her head. She didn't want to tell Alya. She would tell everyone else. "Come on! Tell me! Both of you are hiding something! Tell me!" Alya huffed and Marinette shook her head at Adriens look again. He gave her the death stare. She gave him one back. "Tell me what you two are up to!"

"We can't tell you!" Marinette blurted then covered her mouth.

"Why not!" Alya crossed her arms.

"You'd tell everyone." Marinette dove into her covers and Alya glared at Adrien.

"What are you two doing!"

"We're not dating I swear!" Adrien put his hands up. Alya glared at him. He wanted to tell them but Marinette didn't. He had to respect that. Besides, enough people knew already. The school bell rang and they growled.

"After school you both will tell us." They ran out of her room and to the school, Alya leaving her phone recording. Adrien sighed and fell onto Marinette. She grunted and came out of her warm bundle.

"I don't want to tell them." He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"We have to at some point. They're our friends." He moved under her sheets and held her close.

"But enough people already know. I don't want any more finding out." She sighed.

"Do you trust them?"

"Yeah but-"

"So why can't we tell them? I don't like lying to them." Adrien nuzzled his head into the crook of her neck.

"Alya will post it on her Blog and Nino, he'll ask so many questions and then one will slip out in public." Marinette sighed.

"So, you don't trust them." He mumbled into her neck.

"I-I guess. But this is a big secret. Can we just wait a while?"

"How long is a while?"

"Forever." She sighed and turned into him.

He looked at her in the eyes then closed his and kissed her nose. He rubbed her arm with his knuckles. "No. We need to tell them soon. They deserve to know."

"I-I know but, I just want to wait a little longer." She closed her eyes and rested her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"I'll give you an hour." She groaned and kicked his leg. He laughed and held her close, them falling asleep.
