Why Her

Pain

Author note: hah so i came back to add another part to this wondrous story, and as i read it, i left it on a cliff hanger.... do i remember where that cliff hanger was going? nO! oF coUrSe NoT hAh ;-; so uhm, i finna make some stuff up sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😓

Marinette/Ladybug POV:
I decided to get away, to escape for a bit, and go to a place where I could truly let everything out. My balcony, although amazing, just didn't feel right.

Quietly waking up Tikki, making sure not to make her grumpy, I explained the predicament I was in and asked if i could transform into Ladybug

"Marinette, you know you can't just use these powers for your own personal needs right," Tikki scolded me

"Yes I know Tikki, but I'm having a really tough time right now and i need this desperately. Please, can you make an exception this one time?" I pleaded

Tikki hummed, as if contemplating it, but still not convinced.

"As a favour to your bestest friend ever?"

Silence. Ugh. Still not enough.

I sighed, "would you do it for a cookie?" I bribed her, holding up a cookie from the plate me and Chat shared earlier.

"I guess this one time..." she slowly said

I pounced on her words, not letting her change her mind, "YES THANK YOU TIKKI I PROMISE YOU'LL GET AS MANY COOKIES AS YOU PLEASE WHEN WE GET BACK" I squealed

I swear I saw her smirk a little.

Time skip ~ 5 minutes🌙🌸

I landed on the rooftop where Chat once confessed to me, rose petals and all.

This place somewhat calmed me down, with all the past memories and emotions filling the now empty rooftop.

Of course I feel bad for rejecting Chat so many times but I always had my heart set on him.

God, I couldn't even think his name aloud it pained me so much.

My mind started to wander, as I looked up at the peaceful and clear sky, not a single cloud in sight with the moon and stars shining so bright. (hey that rhymed)

I sighed deeply as i felt cold, wet tears start to run down my face. Why did it have to end like this. Why couldn't my life be a dream, a fairytale, with me ending up with the charming, handsome popular guy who had never once batted an eyelash at me but then suddenly changed his ideals. Something cliche.

Who was I ever kidding. Of course it wouldn't end like that. I don't deserve him, I could never make him happy.

As long as he's happy I should be happy.

So why, tell me why did my chest hurt so fucking much?

Adrien's POV
"M-Mlady?"

I looked up to see Ladybug on a rooftop. Tempted to go and talk to her, I debated the pros and cons internally.

Eventually i gave into my temptations and transformed into the charming Chat Noir (Mmmm yes so charming chat) before heading up to M'lady...... I mean Ladybug.

She must've heard my footsteps as turned around frantically, preparing herself for battle

It wasn't until i stepped into the moonlight that she relaxed and put down her guard.

Although I could tell her walls weren't going down without a fight.

She turned away from me, so I was unable to see her face properly, which annoyed me as I wanted to check up on her to make sure she was ok.

I wasn't sure whether I should say anything or not, so I instead kept quiet and slowly, yet peacefully walked until I was beside her.

I turned to look at her, desperate to see her face, to make sure she was fine.

She wasn't.

Oh god it pained me to see her this way. Her beautiful, bluebell shimmering eyes, her flawless features, her rosy red cheeks, all stained with tears, which were streaming down her face at a constant rate, almost as if they would never stop.

Her nose was scrunched up, and her head held high, as she was trying to hold back the never ending supply of tears which had come from years of pain like no other.

I recognised that pain.

I had felt it before

The pain of being rejected by the one you love most.

Luka's POV
I could see that Marinette was hurt.

Badly.

Even from the small place on the footpath I was, looking up at this goddess cry.

I desperately wanted to comfort her, ask her what was wrong, listen to her problems and be there for her. Someone she could collapse into, my arms always open for her and only her.

I looked down at the time, and considered if I should go up there and help her.

I looked back up to have her as a final factor to make my decision, but she was gone.

The breeze picking up the curtains and blowing them outwards majestically.

As if she'd jumped off and gone some place else, as crazy as that sounds.

I decided on go in and check on her, I just had to make sure she was fine.

As the door opened to the Dupan-Cheng bakery, i was hit with the warm, calming smell of freshly baked savoury and sweet treats.

The cold, harsh weather outside blocked from entering.

"Luka!" Both of Marinettes parents exclaimed simultaneously.

"hey, I was wondering if I could g-"
"Of courseeeeeeee" they coaxed, already knowing my question, as if they could see into the future.

"Thanks Mrs. and Mr. Dupan-Cheng"

"Oh please, call us Sabine and Tom"

They smiled the large, bright and shining smiles at me, i smiled back, feeling instantly accepted into their family.

"Of course, thanks Sabine, thanks Tom."

Tom showed me the way to Marinettes room before turning around and heading back to the front line, where there were many customers to serve.

I slowly and cautiously walked up the stairs, careful not to make too loud of a noise.

I didn't want to frighten her, but I didn't want her to hear me and then try and pretend like everything was fine if it wasn't.

All I wanted was the truth. And for her to trust me with anything she could possibly tell me.

I could never quite describe these feelings I had towards her.

The protectiveness, the jealousy, the fondness, the ache in my heart whenever she was sad or staring at Adrien.

The feelings continued to grow, with each and every passing second I was in her presence, confusing me more and more every single day.

Suddenly the small, petite girl called M-M-Marinette, was't playing such a little in my part in my heart anymore.

I finally got up to her trapdoor, bracing my heart to deal with the pain of seeing her in the state that she was in.

I knocked on the trap door, not wanting to barge in unannounced.

"Marinette? Are you there?"
