I stared into his deep green eyes and realized that this was an answer I had to give. In his eyes I saw so many things. Doubt. Fear. Anticipation. Anxiety.
"Of course I trust you," I finally said, "I just-don't trust me."
"You should!" He said, sitting down next to me against the wall.
"Why should I?" I asked.
"Marinette, listen," He asserted, "You are an amazing heroine who manages to save Paris just about every day and and still make it to class."
"I also managed to lose you."
"Which would've been my choice. I would gladly die for you, Marinette. And for a while I thought I did, it was weird. The time between has all been a blur. But- Jeez Adrien-not the point! Anyways, it's because, I'm in love with you. I would do anything to keep you safe. Anything."
"Really?" I whispered, "Anything?"
"Anything," He responded, "I love you."
That caught me off guard. But I still responded.
"I love you too." I rested my head on his shoulder and we sat, awaiting the ambulance. We soon started to the sound of a siren nearby. They rushed in the back and Adrien picked me up bridal style to help get me on the gurney. He laid me down gently and they wheeled me into the ambulance.
"Is anyone else in there?" A tall nurse with brown hair in a ponytail asked Adrien as the ambulance began motion. The two were in the back with me.
"Yes, but they need help from M- from Ladybug and Chat Noir. They aren't hurt, but captive. Right now, she's the only one who needs an ambulance. Before I knew it, we arrived at the hospital.
They brought me into the hospital room and said they'd have to put me under for a while. I had no idea why, but I agreed.
((I know this is uncalled for but I am going to change POVs for just this section.))
Adrien's POV
"Do you know her full name? We can't ask her while she's in surgery," The nurse asked me.
"Marinette...Marinette Sabine Dupain-Cheng," I recalled. Marinette has told me once that her middle name was named after her mother.
"Age?" The nurse inquired.
"15, I think," I responded.
"Do you happen to know her birth date?"
I frowned.
"I'm so sorry, but I don't," I said, "But her parents can tell you. Sabine Cheng and Tom Dupain are their names. They should be in our school directory." I pulled it up on my phone for her.
She called Marinette's parents and they rushed to the hospital. Mrs.Cheng And Mr.Dupain came up to me when she arrived.
"Adrien!" Mrs.Cheng cried, "You're-you're!"
"Alive. I know."
"How? Oh poor Marinette was worried sick about you!" She said.
"She...was?" I stuttered, a blush coloring my cheeks.
"Poor girl was sick for a week. How is she doing?" Mr.Dupain asked.
"They said she's going to be okay. She was in a lot of pain. I'm really glad they got to her fast enough," I responded. Mr.Dupain laid a hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks to you," He smiled.Marinette's POV
"Huh? What happened?" I asked.
"We had to give you a little surgery, but you're going to be just fine!" The doctor smiled.
I suddenly, in a panic, reached up and felt for my earrings. I released a breath when I felt they were still there.
"It is protocol to take off jewelry, but your friend told us they were very special to you, so we made an exception," The doctor said.
"Thank you," I sighed, "Can I see my parents and my friend now?"
"Of course." The doctor left the room and told Maman, Papa, and Adrien that they could come in.
"Marinette! Are you alright?" Maman ran over to me and gently hugged me.
"Yes, Maman," I giggled, "I'm fine."
"Marinette!" Papa came and did the same.
"Papa!" I cried. Once they backed away, I saw Adrien smiling at me lovingly. I smiled back and we held each other's gaze for a while. He came and hugged me too.
"I'm so glad you're alright, Marinette," He whispered. I smiled wider. He pulled back and looked at my parents.
"Mrs.Cheng, Mr.Dupain? While we are all here together, I thought this would be a good time to ask. May I date your daughter?" He asked. I almost fainted. Maman And Papa exchanged looks and a smile, and finally Papa responded.
"Of course you may. If it weren't for you, our daughter may not have survived!" He said.
"Thank you sir. Now," Adrien said, pulling a flower from the vase by my table and kneeling on the floor, "Marinette, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes!" I cried, pulling him into another hug.
In that moment,Everything was right.
