Marinette was thankful. Seeing someone as strong as Chat Noir always inspired her. It makes her want to stand, with her head held high, into everything she does. Maybe that's why she's so confident as Ladybug. Because she has Chat...Wow, that actually makes a lot of sense.

So today Marinette was gonna face her fear. Not her fear of mayonnaise, that's a different story. Marinette was going to confront Adrien. She wanted to tell him "thanks for being my first love" but it'll probably come out something like "ilikesomeoneelsenowsoHA...haveagoodday".

"Alya!" Marinette ran up to her, almost stumbling on her other foot. Almost.

"Slow your roll dude," Alya said while reaching her hands out for Marinette to grip onto.

"Did you just say, dude?"

"Sorry I hang out with Nino too much"

"Oh"

"..."

"..."

"Were you gonna tell me something?" Alya questioned as they walked into the classroom. Sometimes Alya believed her friend could be quite the airhead. It was cute so she didn't mind.

Marinette was surprisingly early. Not many people were in the classroom. Nathaniel was in the back, head in his sketchpad. And Max reading a large physics book. Marinette didn't even know he could hold something that colossal.

"Oh yeah!" Marinette wiggled her fingers excitingly. "Have you seen Adrien anywhere?". Alya narrows her eyes at her. She knew Marinette was naive but, this is just clueless.

"You don't watch the news, do you..." Alya facepalms. They slide into their desk. And then Alya turns to face Marinette. Alya looked serious. More serious than any PSA about smoking. Besides that one on truthorange with the cat videos.

"What-" Alya interrupts Marinette by lightly slapping her.

"Adrien is at the police department!"

At this point, Marinette was even more confused. Why would Adrien be at the police department? Was he okay? Oh no...She was so busy with Chat, Marinette completely forgot about when Adrien ran away. 'I should have been there for him...I need to find him' Marinette thought.

She bolts out of the classroom, passing the teacher. By now, Mrs.Bustier is used to this. Why do students keep leaving her class?

Marinette was running. She didn't wanna transform into Ladybug. This was something she wanted to do as herself. With her head held high. Wait...Where was the police department again? Well then, she'll do it by herself and her phone. GPS is seriously the best invention ever.

"Wow...Why is everything is Paris so tall?" Marinette gazes upon the department. This is her time to shine. To prove to herself that with or without the mask, she can still be a hero. I guess this was more for herself than Adrien. Does that make her selfish?

Bursting through the doors she shouts "Where is Adrien Agreste?!". Or at least that what she wished happened...

"Um...excuse me...is Adrien Agreste here?" Marinette mumbled the front desk lady. The lady looked like a stereotypical grumpy hag in every cartoon. Her gray hair was in a bun, sitting on her head like a bird's nest. She had glasses and red lipstick on. Marinette hopes this isn't her when she's old.

"Are you family?"

"Sure"

"Okay, he's in the Interrogation Room #3 with Sergeant R. Krug" Marinette wasn't very convincing but, this lady couldn't be bothered. The sergeant's name sounds very intimidating. Marinette is already praying for Adrien's safety. Why is he in an interrogation room? Was he apart of a scandal? No...he could never.

She twists the doorknob...locked. "Gosh darn it" she mutters. Suddenly, the door flung open, Krug walks the other way, not noticing Marinette. She was very small in his defence. Marinette slips into the door. And there he is. Adrien Agreste is in an interrogation room with her, who have might have just let the door close and lock.

"Princ- I mean Marinette?" He looks up at her with his sparkling green eyes. They're so familiar. "What are you doing here?" He stands up only to pull Marinette to the ground. If someone saw her through the window that could cause major problems.

"That's my question" Adrien avoids eye contact with Marinette. He continues to hold onto Marinette's arm, subconsciously. What should he say? Hey, I'm Chat Noir and I turned in my father to the police for abusive behavior and now I'm being interrogated.

"You don't watch the news, do you" He sighs. This is crazy. Marinette just went into government restricted areas. She could seriously get in trouble. Why is she risking so much to come here?

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Adrien is like a cloud. Fading away, nebulously. Even when I liked him, I could never get close. I could never reach him. And now I'm here with Adrien. I'm finally close enough to touch him. In fact, he's the one holding onto my arm like a child being afraid to get lost in a crowd. But, love dissipates. Just like him.

Author's Note:

Honestly I'm so depressed. I love reading comments because it makes me feel all fuzzy inside.
I know I updated earlier that usual, I'm just lonely and I got really excited for people to read this.
