friends or not..?

a talk.

Adrien POV

I knocked on Marinette's door to her apartment and waited. When I didn't get an answer I tried knocking again.

Nothing.

"Marinette? Mari are you in there?" I knocked again and was still greeted with silence.

"She's probably not home you nitwit." Plagg groaned from inside my jacket, probably annoyed at the noise I was making.

I sighed and began to walk away from the apartment back onto the sidewalk. I looked at the sky as it began to get darker, night slowly approaching.

Where could she be?

I tried her phone again, calling her for the 4th time today.

Once again I'm greeting by her voicemail, which I swear I have memorized by now.

"Hi this is Marinette, I'm not at the phone right now but leave a message and I'll get back to you soon."

A soft giggle is heard at the end, that seems to make me smile every time, but now also makes me feel...empty

I haven't seen or spoke to Marinette in a week and its starting to get to me. As much as I enjoy our...intimate sessions together just her company is enough to light up my day.

I really want to see her.

A noise alerted me and I look up to see Ladybug swinging around from building to building.

"What's Ladybug doing out here? Is there an akuma?"

"Maybe." My kwami replied sounding uninterested.

I ran into the nearest alleyway. Making sure the coast is clear I let Plagg out of my Jacket.

"We need to transform and see what Ladybugs up to." I told him. "Claws out Plagg!"

In a flash I transformed. Using my baton I vaulted across the buildings trying to catch up with Ladybug.

The sun had fully set when I lost sight of her around Notre Dame. I vaulted to the roof of the church and surveyed the area.

Where'd she go?

At the corner of my eye I saw a little flash of red near one of the gargoyles. I leaped my way over and stopped once I was a few feet away.

She was sitting on the ledge on the opposite side of the gargoyle..just staring at the city. I decided to make my presence known.

"M'Lady?" She jumped at the sound of my voice and looked at me.

She was crying.

"Ch...Chat Noir!" She said turning away from me quickly wiping away the tears. "What are you doing here?"

"I saw you swinging above the city and I thought there might have been an akuma." I explained honestly, taking a seat on the ledge next to her. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, everything's fine Chaton." She gave me a smile to further prove her point, but I was far from convinced.

"Ladybug...if something's on your mind you know you can tell me."
