Pawful of Love

Chapter 12 - A Mistake

I clenched my teeth as I watched the black suit disappear, and instead of it, a white button up shirt appeared.

I know those clothes too well.

I closed my eyes the moment it reached his neck, the gold bell gone.

I don't have to look to know who it is.

Standing up, I opened my eyes and began crying. ''Why?'' I whispered.

I let go of his hand and dropped it. ''Just...why...''

Adrien lay there, peacefully sleeping unaware of the discovery I made. His hair was not messy anymore, it was perfectly combed and looking angelic like he always does.

What the hell...

I clutched my heart and cried.

It's a miracle to still have tears after this day.

....It hurts.

My heart hurts.

''Why did it have to be you!?'' I screamed, closing my eyes. ''You're my best friend! You--''

You were never one of the people I imagined you to be.

I walked to the window and turned my back to him. '' 'I'm afraid you'll hate me when you see who I am under this mask?!' '' I looked at him sorrowfully, remembering his words.

I went silent and walked over to his bed. ''Tell me this is a joke. Tell me someone tricked me..''

Stop lying to your self.

His chest rose and fell, soft sighs left his mouth and I shook my head. ''I'm sorry Adrien, I can't do this. If you can hear me, I'm sorry. I'm sorry!'' I ran out of the room, out of the hospital, my pounding head forgotten with my heart ache.

I fell onto the ground of the courtyard and got up. My knees stung but I didn't want to stop running, I wanted to run away from the truth.

Is that why you always had a knowing smirk when I told you about Chat?

Because you were him?

I hate this.

Meanwhile..

I coughed violently and gasped out for air. I sat up, fear running through me. ''(Y/N)!?'' I called out, looking around.

''(Y/N), where are you?.'' I croaked. I rubbed my eyes and realized something.

I'm...back to being Adrien.

My eyes widened and I got up, my heart thumping.

No, no, no, no!

I looked at myself and saw my normal clothes, not a black suit or a bell.

She saw me, she saw me! God dammit!

''Plagg, where are you!?'' Plagg coughed in return, from my bed. He lay there feverish and coughing softly.

''Adrien..I'm sorry..'' He whispered. I held him in my hands as I began to cry. ''Plagg! Hang on, please!''

He must've absorbed my pain while in transformation, I need to take him to Master Fu quickly!

I put him in my pocket and ran out with him.

(Y/N) You liar...you said you'd never hate me.

You said you would love me no matter who I turned out to be..
