My Crazy Mixed Up Life AU *Marichat/Adrienette* by Summer Cheng

Prologue: How the craziness begin?

         Adrien's  POV  (Point of view):

         It is the story of my life, or so it seems to be the case.  Here is how the craziness all begin. 

         You see a few months ago,  I ran to the park to meet up with my friends.  I knew that Chloe was with Nino, but still could not quite figure out how they got along!  I thought to myself what an odd couple!  Then to make matters more ridiculous I find out  Rose dates Kim, Max dates Alya,  Alix, Chloe's sister is still a single pringle and seems okay with it!   Lila is single, but does not seem to care either.   Oh, and if you think this is wild you have not heard the half of it!

         I, that is to say, Adrien Agreste can not believe my ears!  I look at them all in shock.  What?  I can not see any of these couples as being the ones I would visualize together in the least bit.  As I try to rake my brain for any possible answers to the truth as to how this could happen, I come up with nothing.  I just sit there unable to form words to explain how I feel about it all.  To my amazement they all seem cool with it.

     I look around until  I see her!  I can not be more happy than I am in that moment.  I walk to her!  I hug, her, and by her, I mean my all time crush and friend, Marinette Dupain-Cheng.  It is been awhile since I last spoke to her.  I get nervous around her.  I know it is kinda silly, but what can I say?  I am smitten with her!  She is the one who seems to light up my life, so to speak!  I try to tell her how I feel then, bam!   

    To my horror, she lays on the bad news!  This to say she tells me she has a boyfriend and goes on to tell me she is with the artist guy, the red head, what is his name again?  Oh that is right, it is Nathaniel, as in Nathaniel Kurtzberg to be exact.  I can not seem to stop myself from the chuckles.   Surely, this is a joke right?  There is no way possible, she really dates him?  

   Marinette's  POV:

    "Adrien, Adrien?  Are you listening to me? "  I try to talk to him, but he does not say a word.  He just laughs at me.  Hmm, I wonder why ?  Did I say something wrong?   I try to recall what I could have said to make him laugh,  but I come up with nothing.  Nothing at all that could cause such a reponse from him.

    "Nath, Adrien thinks our relationship is a joke! Can you believe it babe?"  I ask him, which he politely repsonds with,  "Marinette, perhaps he is in shock!  It is not like he knew before now, right?"   

     I suppose he does have a good point there indeed.

    ...Present Day...

     Adrien's  POV:

      I  still can not believe it was only six months ago, she told me the bad news!  The bomb shell, that broke my very heart.  From that day on, I swore to myself, that Marinette is never under any circumstance to know how I feel about her.  I mean what good could possibly come out of it anyway?  It is like she has any interest in me.  I mean she does date that red head, Nathaniel Kurtzberg, of all people!  

   As hurt as I am, I try  to be happy, for her, really I do!  Only, it still hurts deep down as I have loved her for many years now.  I suppose now she will never find out.  Oh, well, I suppose it is better to love and have lost than never to have loved at all.  I do not recall who first said it, but I must say I do agree with them at any rate.

     So, I Adrien Agreste, will keep my heart in check.  It is the best since it is the only way to make Marinette happy!  If she is happy, is that what really counts anyway?   Who am I to stand in the way of  her happiness?   

     Marinette's  POV:

       I hope Adrien is okay.  I mean it was six months ago I told him the news about me and Nathaniel.  I could tell he thought it was a prank at first.  Then, when I gently explained it was not and that I was really going out with Nath, the poor guy looked awful!  I promise you, he looked like he might hurl at any moment.

     Ever since then, he has been rather quiet. Not only this, but Adrien seems to avoid me whenever he can.  I am not sure why, but some how this makes me feel sad.  I mean, he is my friend, so the fact he ignores me seems to be a troublesome thing.  I can not figure out where I went wrong?  Have I done something to him?  If so, then why does he not speak to me about it?  

  Nathaniel's  POV:

      Marinette sure seems to fret over Adrien a lot.  This bothers me more than I let on as she is my girlfriend!  Why should she worry over some other guy?   I mean you would think she rather date him than me!  The very idea is bothersome.  The thought did cross my mind a time or two.  Only when I ask her about it she insist they are only friends.  Still, I wonder why she is upset that he ignores her anyway?  I would think she would be satisfied to have me as a boyfriend.  Good grief, we have been together for half a year now.

     I  try not to be jealous of Adrien, but try as I might I have this irrational hatred towards the guy. Why I should is beyond me.  It is not like he did anything to make me feel this way.  It more like I am insecure or something.  How can I though?   Marinette makes me feel happy and I love her, but she still pays  more attention to the fact Adrien has not spoken to her much, since the announcement about our going together.

   Why should my girlfriend concern herself with some other guy?   What does  she  seek to accomplish through this?  Is Marinette  that dissatisfied with us?  Did I do something to trouble her?  I mean to  hear her talk you would think she regrets the decision to ever date me.  

    I suppose I am more of a worry wart than I ever thought possible.   I must learn to relax more and to trust her.  I mean that is what good relationships are  built upon, right?  Trust?
