Miraculous Ladybug - The Voices In My Head

~Chapter 8~

Marinette's POV

I gasp.

Adrien?

I quickly stand up and whip around to find Adrien holding out a black umbrella, looking at me.

"Adrien?"

He smiles at me. His smile warms my heart and I almost forget why I'm out here.

My cheeks are stained with tears and water. My clothes are soaked, and my hair is so wet that I can probably fill a gallon-sized cup if I squeeze the water out. My face heats up in embarrassment.

Adrien's face turns into a frown with a stern expression.

"Do you actually believe what Chloe said?"

I stay silent. Yes.

I let out a whimper. Adrien frowns. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng, nothing Chloe said is true. I heard everything. You are not worthless at all, and your friends care about you very much. I know that someday, you will become a fashion designer better than my dad."

I let out a choked sob. "But-"

"No buts Marinette. Chloe is wrong. And about what she said about me, that's not true. I never said such things. I care about you very much, you're my best friend. And I can't imagine a life without you, I can't live without you. And you know why that is?" His face softens.

"No, why?" I whisper, barely audible in the rain. My heart beats rapidly, a familiar feeling overcoming me.

Adrien holds out the umbrella, covering me. His other hand travels up to my cheek, cupping it softly.

"Because I love you."

COMMENCE THE FANGIRLING! Ok, I know this is a very short chapter, probably my shortest, but I can't help it. I gotta leave you on that, being the evil Author-Chan I am. I'm writing this at school right now and you don't know what it's taking me to not fangirl out loud while writing this.

I know I suck at writing these things, you know, like the love scenes. I'm not very good at sappy stuff, and that's what I was aiming for, but screw that. GuYs I tRieD, pLeAsE DoN'T sUe mE. Class is about to end, so peace out.
