Can't you see me?

Chapter 9

"I made someone close to me angry."

Marinette couldn't picture Adrien doing something wrong. Anything worth making someone mad.

"I put myself in a not so safe situation and the person got angry with me." He scratched the back of his head embarrassed. "I don't understand why this person got angry. Why did they get angry?"

Marinette didn't say anything, she could feel her anger welling up from what had happened with Chat.

How could he put himself in such a situation? Did he not realize how much pain she would be in if something had happened to him?

"Marinette?" Adrien spoke and she was forced out of her thoughts. "Was my question too weird?"

"Can I ask you a question before I answer yours? Why did you put yourself into a dangerous situation?"

"It was to help, it was the quickest way to get what we were doing done and it doesn't really matter they solved the problem on time and I was alright."

Marinette was fuming.

"Did you stop to think how the other person would feel? I'm sure this person cherishes you a lot and got angry at the thought of you so easily putting yourself in danger!"

Adrien was visibly shocked. Not by Marinette sudden outbursts but the fact there was such a similarity between her and Ladybug.

Marinette realizing she let her anger out covered her mouth quickly. "I'm so sorry Adrien. I didn't mean to yell I-"

"Were you put in that situation Marinette? Did someone you cherish put himself in danger?" He asked.

Ladybug has always wanted to keep her identity a secret. He could never see her face so it wouldn't have mattered really.

Of course she didn't know that. Would at least knowing her real name suffice him?

She answered in a soft voice,
"Yes."

"He could have gotten hurt. I would have been the one to hurt him!"

"Marinette it wouldn't have been your fault he put himself there." He smiled awkwardly but she wasn't having it.

"It would! If I hadn't been fast enough or accurate enough he could have seriously gotten hurt!"

"It just means he trusts you!"

"It means he doesn't value his life enough!"

Adrien didn't move.

"I think what angers me the most is he doesn't seem to care what happens to him. He is such a wonderful person who deserves happiness! I'm worried about him."

Marinette realized how much she was talking about her problem. "Sorry Adrien I came here to console you and I've only shared my problems with you." She gave a little chuckle.

He smiled,

"No Marinette, you've helped me more than you'll ever realize."
