a/n gorgeous by t-swifty! i don't know why i chose that lyric instead of one that was a little more positive but i went this one. so i took a break because i've been stressed out and getting these headaches. i thought it was from writing so i decided that i need to separate myself for a bit because my health does come first. i'm still not 100% percent better so i can't guarantee that i won't take more breaks. this chapter is a little but i hope you enjoy this chapter and please excuse all errors.
"I don't really get it," Marinette said and Adrien sighed. The two had been hanging out a lot over the past week. Today Adrien had decided to ditch the event his father had planned to hang out with Marinette who never had anything going on and he had suggested that the go to the theater that played movies that had already come out. She didn't seem to excited about seeing any of the films and just told him that he could pick out what movie they should see. He picked a film called When which was about two people who loved each other very dearly but in the end they couldn't be together. "If they loved each other then why couldn't they work things out?" She asked.
Adrien shrugged, "They're different people. They belong to different parts of the world in their own so even though they love each other, they can't continue to be together. It just wouldn't be right." He explained it all and the sour look on Marinette's face didn't disappear. "I take it you didn't like the movie," he said.
"It was fine," she explained. "I just like happy endings where the guy gets the girl and they live happily ever after."
"That a little unrealistic, don't you think?" He asked. "Things don't always have a happy ending. If you always want a happy ending then you'll find yourself getting disappointed and always unhappy."
"I don't see it as that," she tucked some of her hair behind her ear and Adrien got a better look at her and couldn't help but think that she looked pretty with the light hitting her pale skin and blue eyes shining brightly. "I see as a thing of hope. It's a way of telling us that no matter the struggles we go through we find someone we care about who will love us." She looked over at him to see him staring her, the two both turned away, both of their cheeks turning red a bit.
"You sound as if you have never had your heartbroken." Marinette twirled a piece of her, not saying anything which gave Adrien an answer. "You've never had your heartbroken?" He asked.
"I've never gotten close to anyone for my heart to break," she said. "My parents were never around for as long as I can remember. I've never been good at making friends and Nino has never done anything to hurt me."
"I wish I'd never had my heart broken," he said. "It's happened so many times now that it's coming a familiar feeling. My mother died, my father treats me as I'm object, almost every friend or girlfriend has just been using me for my money." He let out a deep sigh and Marinette debated whether she should try and comfort him. She placed her hand on his arm, slowly and calmly unsure if he even wanted her comfort but instead he just looked at her and smiled. She couldn't help but think he had a beautiful smile before then having to tell herself that it wasn't an unusual thought as many people probably thought he had a beautiful smile.
"I'm sure that some day you'll find someone that won't break your heart anymore," she told him. I'll make sure of it, she thought but didn't say.
The two around for a little more until the sun was beginning to set. "Are you sure it's okay that you are missing a lot of work?" She asked. "You've been spending almost every day with me. Is your dad mad?"
"Probably. But I said I would go on the expedition that Alya and Max are going on tomorrow so hopefully that would make it better." He explained. It wouldn't but it would get his father off his back for a while. "Hey I wanted to ask you something. My dad is hosting some event on Saturday and I was wondering if you wanted to come."
She stiffened. Why was he asking her? "Why are you asking me?"
He shrugged, "I was supposed to go with Lila but...." he trailed off before starting again. "I've just had a lot of fun with you over the past couple of days and these parties are never any fun so I figured it would nice if you came with me." The unsure look on her face didn't go away so Adrien quickly added, "You can bring Nino if you want."
Marinette was still unsure but she didn't want to disappoint Adrien. She had gotten this close to him and she feared that saying no would push him away. If she wanted to find the boy love then she needed to figure out who would work with him but the two didn't know what the other was thinking. "Sounds good," she said. The two continued walked until the reached the white gate that wrapped itself the lighthouse that she and Nino had been staying in. Well they weren't really staying it, they just hung out in it and kept their stuff in. She never allowed Adrien to come in as he would see that it was really just an abandon building and would start to suspect something.
She quickly opened the gate, closing it before Adrien could get through. Marinette didn't see the confused and kind of hurt look on his face but something told her it was there and she hated it. Marinette couldn't let him in though for many reasons. Number one being that she wasn't supposed to be his friend or anything more then that, she was just supposed to find someone to love him. Number two Nino would freak out. As Mari hanging out with him almost every day was a risk but bring him to their hideout was another thing in general. "I had a fun time today," she told him and it was the truth. There was some hard parts about being on land but being with Adrien made those things better.
"Me too," he replied, smiling that gorgeous smile. "I'll see you Saturday."
Marinette tried to look away but she couldn't so all she did was smile back. "I'll see you Saturday." The two started walking away but before she made it inside, she turned back around to look at him one last time. His blond hair glowed in the sunlight like it was made out of gold, he was perfect. He isn't yours to love, she told herself, walking towards the lighthouse. You aren't allowed to love him.
