Scars// MLB fanfic

Chapter 6

I was bored.

I was bored beyond imagination.

I roll around my bed and turn to face Tikki. I smile slightly at her, "Want to visit Chat on his night patrols?"

She was laying on my bed, her tiny against me. "No," she mumbles.

"Please?" I whine.

She turns so she's looking at me now. "Why do you even want to see that idiot?" he asks me eyeing me weirdly.

I shrug, "Because I'm really bored and I want to move around. I cant be cooped up all day doing nothing."

Okay, that was part of it. I actually wanted to see Chat. After our fight the other day, he stayed and watched Flash until I fell asleep. I wouldn't say it was romantic, but honestly it was kinda awesome. And also because I haven't really had a proper conversation with Chat as Ladybug for weeks.

She glares at me, seemingly trying to murder me with her stare. I give her the most irresistible set of puppy eyes that I could master. She groans in defeat, "Fine but only for an hour."

I shoot up from the bed and start doing a happy dance. We quickly transform and start our mission to find a certain black cat.

Adrien's POV

I was sitting on the ceiling of the Louvre. I wasn't quite sure why I was here looking at the stars instead of actually doing my job.

Haha, no. That's complete BS. I was here because I couldn't stop thinking about Marinette. This girl, was driving me crazy, in a good way. I just can't stop thinking about her, I mean, I swear I was in love with Ladybug, but a part of me wanted it to be Marinette, a part of me wanted to love Marinette, and I guess that part of me was what made me go and risk getting killed to save her. And I've got to say, I wasn't really hating that part of me.

I sigh, "Oh, princess, the way you affect me."

"Hey kitty."

I jolt up at the sound of her voice and turn around expecting to see my princess. But it wasn't her, it was Ladybug.

Weird.

I shake my head, it's stupid they couldn't be the same person. Right?

I smile at her, "Hey, what are you doing here My lady?"

She sits down next to me and looks at the stars. "I was bored, figured your cat puns could make the rest of the night interesting," she says.

I chuckle, "Well that's purr-fect."

She laughs a bit and keeps staring at the stars.

I take the moment of comfortable silence to stare at her. Her blue hair shined white with the moonlight, and her skin looked pale, with a pinch of red. Normally, her eyes would grab my attention, but today, a little scar right underneath her ear made me curious. I reach out and run my thumb over it, only to have her flinch underneath my touch.

She looks at me as if she's seen a ghost and puts her hand over the scar.

"Sorry," I say turning my head away from her.

I feel her hand on my shoulder and I turn to look at her. She stares at me with kind eyes and a small smile. "It's fine," she says as she turns to look at the city, "I'm just not used to physical contact, especially not from you Chat."

I give her a slight smile, "Yeah well I just wanted to know how you got that scar my lady."

She turns and puts her legs on top of mine so we were forming an x shape. "Well, remember that day when we fought the pizza king?"

I nod.

"Well that little cut that I got from his flying knife left me this bad boy," she says pointing at the scar.

"Battle scar," I say staring at her with admiration.

She nods and smiles, "Yup, I collect them, they're my pride and soul."

I look at her confusingly, "Why though?"

"You know, we're the saviors of Paris, but what about when we're not Ladybug and Chat Noir? what about when we're just two regular people, we're not saviors. These scars they remind me that even though I'm not always Ladybug I'm still helping people and they're living proof of it." She turns and stares at the city with a smile.

"How many do you have?"

"53"

I turn and stare at the city and can't help but ask. "Do you really think normal people can't be saviors?"

She sighs, "Honestly? no."

I was shocked. I honestly didn't expect that from her. I glare at her, "Well that's bullshit."

Her head snaps at me. "What?"

"I said that's bullshit."

She raises an eyebrow, "And why's that?"

"Because the other day a friend of mine saved a little kid without even thinking about it," I say and chuckle at the thought, "She almost died and I swear I would of almost killed her for being so reckless had it not been that she calmed me down."

I hear her chuckle and turn to look at her. She smiles at me, "You care about her that much?"

My breath catches in my throat. Was it obvious that I had some feelings for Marinette? As I think about how the fact that I had feelings for her could potentially screw things, whatever it was, with Ladybug. But the I decided that I didn't care. So I nod, "Yes, she's very important to me."

Ladybug leans back, her legs still on top of mine. "Yeah well she's a lucky girl to have you."

I chuckle and look down at my lap, "Yeah well I don't know if she feels the same about me."

Ladybug scoffs, "Yeah well, she probably does, I mean you're Chat Noir for fucks sake."

I smile, "I hope so."

Ladybug stands up and extends her hand towards me to help me up. Once we're both standing she smiles at me. "Goodnight Chat, you should go see that special girl of yours."

"Yeah I think I'll go soon. Goodnight."

She smiles and nods and takes off, but before she gets too far I call for her, "Ladybug!"

She stops abruptly and turns around to face me, "Mhm?"

I smile, "Thanks My lady."

"No problem," and then she takes off into the night.

~*~

I knock on Marinnette's trap door and wait for her answer.

She opens the door and smiles at me, "Hello chaton."

I drop down on her room and lay down on her bed.

"Uh, what are you doing?" she asks dumbfounded.

I smile, "You and I are going to watch Netflix until one of us falls asleep."

She chuckles and goes to grab her laptop and takes her spot next to me. "Sounds like a plan."
