His Mute Princess

Chapter 50

Marinette repeated the ritual of walking into class worried about Adrien.

When she walked into the room, she was surprised he wasn't in his seat already. He was always there before her. She looked around the half-full classroom, he wasn't anywhere in the room.

She sat down, her heart beginning to race. Did something happen? Her mind began to race. Did his father somehow find out he knows? Her palms grew sweaty. Did Adrien hurt himself? Her breathing grew faster. Panic spread throughout her entire body. Her small frame trembled. Her face lost all color.

The look in his eyes when he told her to leave. Oh god, she thought. That look. She had never seen it before. She didn't even know where to begin to describe it. The best word she could come up with: scary. It was scary. There were no emotions but also so many. Did that even make sense? 

Marinette turned around, trying to see if she just missed him and he was actually there. Nope. He was nowhere in sight.

Alya made eye contact with Marinette from the other side of the room. Her eyes widened as she realized the state Marinette was in. Alya grabbed Nino and quickly dragged him with her. Alya practically threw herself and Nino across the room.

"Marinette! You look sick! What's wrong? Where's Adrien?" Alya asked in a panic. "Whoa! Dudette you need to go to the nurse!" Nino added with wide eyes.

Marinette just shook her head. She didn't know what she was trying to say, she was too panicked to even think.

Alya turned to the teacher, who was sitting at her desk. "Ms. Bustier! We need to take Marinette to the nurse, she looks sick!" Ms. Bustier turned to look at Marinette and blinked in surprise. "Oh my goodness, Marinette are you alright? Did you get enough sleep? Are you feeling ill? Alya, Nino please do take her to the nurse. It might even be best she go home."

The couple nodded and took Marinette's arms. The kick of adrenaline was slowing down so Marinette didn't feel like moving. "Marinette I know you feel like crap right now, but get off your lazy butt!"

Marinette let out a frustrated huff and slowly got up. Alya and Nino took hold of her from both sides. They took her to the nurse who advised Marinette go home. At first, she was against it. Yeah, she was worried sick but she could go through the school day. She felt well enough. But going home early could give her the opportunity to go check on Adrien. 

After a bit of back and forth, Marinette agreed to go home. Her parents took a break from the bakery to help take her home and put her to rest.

Adrien woke up to the bright sun hitting his eyes.

Wait.

Sun?

He sat up quickly and looked over to his clock. 10:34 a.m..

"Ah fuck," he muttered under his breathe. He placed his face in his hands and sighed heavily.

How had no one woken him up? That was strange. He decided there was no point on going to school if he woke up that late.

Plagg flew out from his cheese drawer, yawning. "How do you feel kid?"

Adrien sighed, "Better, I guess. I don't know how I'm going to deal with this."

"Just take it slowly. Talk to Marinette or Ladybug," Plagg replied. "Marinette is in school, so maybe go see LB if she's out."

"Alright, maybe it is better to get everything sorted out with her too. This is her fight as well, not just mine."

Adrien stood up and stretched. "Not right now though, it's too early," Plagg whined. Adrien turned to him and raised a brow.

"Plagg, claws out!"

"Wait no!! I haven't had my—"

Chat chuckled. Shut up kid, Plagg muttered. "May I remind you who suggested this?" Don't you have somewhere to be?

Chat grinned. He opened his bedroom window and jumped out.

He took in a deep breath. He felt much more relaxed. Maybe too relaxed? Yesterday didn't even seem real.

Chat frowned a little but shook it off. He walked around aimlessly through the city, eventually spotting Jasmine.

She was sitting in a park bench, Thomas in a stroller next to her. She was holding a toy and playing with it, making Thomas giggle.

Chat grinned and jumped down. He landed next to her, startling both her and the baby. Thomas started crying. Jasmine turned to him panicked, noticed it was, and then glared at him. "Chat you idiot! You scared Thomas!"

Chat chuckled nervously, "Sorry LB."

She huffed and picked Thomas us, calming him down. After he quited down, she turned to Chat. Her face dropped. "Any news?"

Chat looked down and sat down next to her. "It's confirmed."

"I'm so sorry, Adrien. It must feel horrible."

"Yeah, it fucking sucks."

"Are you going to do anything about it? Do you want to do anything about it?"

Chat frowned. "Of course I do, Hawkmoth being my father doesn't change the fact Hawkmoth is horrible, but," his face saddened, "it means my father is too."

Jasmine place a hand on his shoulder and gave it a small squeeze. After a small moment of silence, Jasmine spoke up. "She came to me by the way, Marinette I mean. After you basically kicked her out."

Chat's eyes widened, "Ah shit, you're right, I—I told her to leave. Oh god, I feel horrible. Did she say anything? Was she upset? Was she crying? Did she say how much of an asshole I am? She probably hates me."

Jasmine shook her hear, "Relax, she doesn't hate you, goodness you teens are so overdramatic. She understands why you did what you did. She knows it upset you and hurt you.

"So no, you don't have to cry and worry about the love of your life hating you for like forever and ever." Jasmine ended the last few sentences mockingly. Chat glared at her and she grinned.

"Ok, but in all seriousness, go talk to her, she should be on break soon, right?"

"Yeah, you should come too, isn't it better if we all talk about it?"

Jasmine smiled, "Maybe later, right now it's best you two talk it out. Get the personal crap out of the way, then all three of us can deal with the superhero aspect."

Chat stood up and nodded. "Thanks LB."
