The Bad Boy Fell for Me (Adrienette AU)

Can't Go Home

Marinette

It had been about a weak since school started. Everything was normal; studying for my classes, working on new designs. All though, I hadn't really seen Adrien around. He came back super late and when I woke up he was always still asleep. Not that I cared. I knew what he was doing. I could smell the alcohol every time he walked into the room. And being the famous model he is, it's really not that weird. However, even knowing all that, I was still not prepared for what I was about to witness.

It was about midnight. Alya wanted to have fun, aka drink with me to her dorm, since Nino was out with some friends. We ended up drunk-ish and fell asleep. I should never listen to Alya. If it hadn't been for Nino who woke me up, I would still be passed out on the floor. I was heading to my dorm now, silently taking the elevator up. I was still a little drunk, so my senses were a bit numb. I wish they weren't. I unlocked the door to my dorm, and opened it, only to see Adrien... with a girl... in bed! My jaw dropped as I realised. I quickly shut the door and ran down the stairs. I felt weird. A bit ashamed, and a bit guilty. I tried not thinking about what my roommate was doing as I walked back to Alya's dorm. I knocked, but instead of her answering, it was Nino.

"Did you forget something Marinette?" He asked.

"No, uh... could I stay here for the night?" I asked, scratching the back of my neck.

"Why? Did something happen?"

"I just can't ho in there! It's not appropriate!" I whisper yelled, feeling that blush burning my cheeks.

He nodded in realisation and let me in. Alya was still sleeping soundly, on the bed this time. I laid down on the small couch next to a small table. I watched as Nino checked on Alya, before he went to bed. He was a great guy and a great friend. Alya was lucky and she didn't even realised it.

I woke up about 4 in the morning. It was Saturday, which meant no classes for the day. Alya and Nino were obviously still sleeping. I felt kind of guilty for crashing to their dorm, without letting them know before hand. So I grabbed my bag, and silently left the room. It was cold outside; the sun wasn't completely up yet. It was the time where the orange and the dark blue begun to mix, with a deep red on the horizon, while a few stars were still visible. I entered building 7, walked up the stairs, and headed to my dorm. I silently opened the door, hoping that I wouldn't wake anyone up. For god's sake, this was MY room! I shouldn't worry about waking the guy that brought his girlfriend in without even warning me.
The room was pitch black, but I could make out Adrien, sleeping alone. Thank god. I closed the door behind me, and went to the balcony. The sky was reflected on the surface of the lake. It was so calming. I stayed there, just sitting down and admiring nature, for an hour. I would have stayed longer if I hadn't felt a pair of warm hands touch my back.

"Where have you been, my lady?" He asked, sniffing the back of neck.

It sent shivers down my spine. He was so warm, and I was frozen. Part of it, actually felt good.

"Go away." I calmly said. The last thing I wanted was to start a fight. I was tired; I had only gotten 4 hours of sleep.

"Ah! Upset are we? Why?" He asked, moving away only to sit beside me.

Was he seriously asking that question? Was he really going to make me say it? Was he really that much of a jerk? This was my room too! He could have said something!

"Isn't it obvious?" I asked, bringing my knees closer to me chest.

He looked at me, and then turned his face towards the lake. He inhaled, and exhaled noticeably.

"Is it because I brought a girl here? Are you jealous?" He smirked, looking back at me.

"You wish!" I scoffed. Just how big was his ego?

"You could have said something..." I mumbled under my breath, barely enough for him to hear.

"That's all?" He said, surprised.

"I walked in on you having... well, you know! It wasn't the best of moments." I said, looking away.

I could already feel my cheeks burning a little. It was annoying, to know that I would probably look like a tomato by the end of this. I could see Adrien staring at me, with the corner of my eyes. I wondered why he didn't do anything.

"I'm sorry."

I widened my eyes and turned to look at him. Did the famous bad boy just apologised? Of his own will?

"What did you say?" I asked.

"I'm sorry! You're right. I should have informed you, and even ask you about it." He said, seriously.

I couldn't help but think he was messing with me. He was being serious, mature and responsible; 3 things that you wouldn't usually find in the same sentence with his name. He continued looking straight into my eyes. There was this weird tension between us just then. Until a small yawn escaped my mouth.

"Tired? Oh by the way, where did you sleep? After that girl left, I was starting to get worried." He said.

"I went at Alya's for a while. Didn't really sleep that much." I answered.

A cold breeze had begun blowing, sending chills down my spine. I headed back inside, where I could feel a bit warmer. My eyes fell on the clock. 5:45

"You should sleep." Adrien said, as he got in as well.

I agreed with him. I climbed onto my bed and snuck underneath the covers, shivering. Then, suddenly, I felt a soft kiss on my forehead.
